Some place happy?

Days that follow

Fredbear POV:

      It has been two days since Leo told Emily about what's happening, and things are only getting harder. While another person in the room helps, the nightmares have only been getting more active as the nights progress. There were a few close calls of them getting in even with the door being able to lock. This caused the Nightmares to try to break down the door on multiple occasions, requiring Leo and Emily to hold it shut. And when the morning came there were always some new scratch marks littering the door. Leo had to convince the Davis's that it was just some animal that got in the house, but it was easier said than done. And that's not even getting into how it's affecting us mentally.

      Everyone has been getting worn down by it. If the nightmares don't stop coming after the party, I don't see how we can keep this up. But even if that is the case, I won't let them hurt Evan! Their threats and mockery they have directed at me has been getting louder and more frequent. They're hoping to break me, so that when the time comes, I won't be able to protect him. But they'll never manage, I will never give up. Even if I have to move us again.

      You're fighting an unwinnable battle. The only way for this nightmare to end is to give in. He can't be saved. LET US HAVE HIM!

Never

      The party is tomorrow. Even you can't stop what we have planned. We have grown stronger, since you changed his fate. We won't stop until he is ours. Why must you care? He is the son of the man who killed you.

      He's all I have left! After that day, everything was a living nightmare. To exist like this..... not being able to see my mom and dad again! To not be able to go outside and run around and play. For a while I was just existing as a phantom. But then I saw him..... He is innocent and young, with so much pain in his life. At first, I possessed the plushie and talked to him just so I could speak with another kid again. But he told me what he saw. His sister died because of William. I couldn't let the same thing happen to him, whether it was by his father or brother.

      The inevitable is coming. Enjoy today with him, because tomorrow is where this ends.

Evan's POV:

      "Everything ok? You look a bit stressed out." I jump back startled as I look up from the toys on the ground. Only to relax as I see that it's Mia, she is looking at me with concern. The past few days have left me shaken and jumpy. With the nightmares back I have gotten back into the same state of constant fear I had before coming here. It warms my heart to have people care about my wellbeing. It has made it easier than before, especially since I reconnected with Michael.

      "I'm sorry I startled you. Mommy and Daddy seem worried too, if there is anything going on you can tell me." I hesitate for a few seconds, unable to think of a respawns. Leo, Emily, and Michael seemed to want to keep the truth about the Nightmare to ourselves for the time being. But I don't want to lie to Mia either. Maybe I can tell her a little bit of how I am feeling. Just enough, without me having to mention the nightmares.

      "I'm scared Mia. So many things are happening, I just want it to stop." She puts a hand on my shoulder and smiles.

      "It's going to be ok. We're here for you. Your big day is tomorrow, and we will all be there to celebrate it!" I try my best to smile as I look back down. Tomorrow's my birthday. The day that Micha- I shudder as I try to get back to playing, but I can't shake the memories of that day from my head.

      Hearing someone enter the room I look up and I see that it's Michael. Him along with Leo and Emily have been having to stress with the mental strain of the Nightmares and with staying up all night. I just wish they would let me help them. Dark circles are under his eyes, as I can see the tiredness from the last few nights have worn down his body as he makes his way over to me.

      "Hey, buddy. How's your morning going?" His voice is warm and soft, yet as he hugs me, I recoil. I see guilt in Michels eyes as he apologies and gently ruffles my hair, and heads to the kitchen table where the others are at. It hurt seeing Michael sad, I don't know why I reacted like that. When he touched me, I just felt a surge of fear and the memories of before came back. But he's nice to me now. I don't have to be scared of him.

     He hurt you. Something like that doesn't go away that easy. Not that I want you around him.

      The moments we spent together here are all real Fredbear. He really is sorry; I know you don't like him. But I want to give him another chanc-

      Even if he really means it, I can't let go what he did to you. The torment he put you through is something he can't erase.

     He can't but that doesn't mean we can't move on. I chose to forgive him; I understand that you're just worried about me. But I'm ready to let him in. Even if there are moments where it all comes back. We're all doing our best to put it behind us.

      Even if it's not good enough.

      "Evan, Mia! Lunch is almost ready!" We both look at the table when we hear Olivia's voice. Getting up, the two of us join them. Everyone is at the table, with Mia seated to my left and Michael on my right. Liam smiles as he adjusts his glasses.

     "Everything is set up and ready for your party tomorrow buddy. All your friends are coming, and we will make sure you have a great time." The conversation remains the same with them going more into the details. I try to smile but deep down the more they talk about the party, the more dread fills me.

Tomorrow's another day
