A Brand-New Life: Sequel to Not A Monster

Chapter 22: The Dark Queen

I know you probably can't see it, but that picture is Shadow Bonnie. It was the best I could find.

Freddy's POV

As we flew to Scotland, I thought about what my dark counterpart could be doing to Shadow. He could be ripping her apart, or treating her like royalty. Or he could be... doing you-know-what with her. I shuddered at the thought of my shadow brother having kids with my best friend. Goldie flew next to me, grabbing my hand.

"It's ok, Freddy. We'll stop that from happening," he told me. I grinned and we dove down into the green fields of Scotland.

"So, Gold, where is he living?" Marionette asked.

"Castle Duart on the Isle of Mull. It's Shadow's family castle," he recalled.

"Convenient. He must have planned this so that he could make her happy," Bonbon laughed. I glared at him, and we took flight again. This time it was quicker, for the Isle of Mull was close.

"Wow. That's a big castle," I gasped. The others giggled and we landed in front of the drawbridge.

"Let's look around. Most likely they're in the throne room, so head there. Make sure your weapons are ready," I ordered, taking out my bagh naka. We trudged through the massive castle, coming across the throne room. There I saw Shadow Freddy sitting on one of the large thrones, and Shadow was sitting on his lap. They were talking and laughing with each other.

"I see you have found our home. Welcome to Castle Duart, my friends and brothers. Panda, do me a favor and restrain the fox, will you darling?" My brother greeted. Shadow smiled and knocked Foxy on his stomach, pointing her sword at his neck.

"Will that work, dearest?" She cooed.

"Yes, thank you," he snapped his fingers and Foxy was tied with twine, a very strong rope. Shadow slunk back and sat on Shadow Freddy's lap again, kissing his cheek. Nigtorra stepped forward holding her bo staff.

"Give me back my Mistress, Dark One, and I will let you live," she commanded. Shadow Freddy laughed evilly.

"Oh, my. Who is this black nightmare? Have you any idea who you're talking to, child?" He dismissed her threat. She growled and threw stars at him, but Shadow deflected them all.

"Enough! My love belongs to Shadow Freddy, and petty fools shan't take him from me!" She screamed, lunging at Nigtorra. We're never going to get her back.

Shadow Chica's POV

I feel a bit guilty for allowing Shadow Freddy to take Foxy's girlfriend. I never told him how much I loved him. Maybe that's why he's looking for a lover. I stepped between Shadow and Nigtorra, feeling Shadow's sword pierce my stomach.

"STOP!" Shadow Freddy cried, running to me as I fell to the floor.

"Don't close your eyes, Shadow Chica. Stay awake and look at me," he pleaded, pushing my dark hair out of my eyes.

"Why? Why did you do this?" He asked. Tears fell from his eyes and dotted my cheeks. I ran a hand through his dark locks.

"Because... I... I love you. More than a friend," I gasped. My chest was heaving with my strangled breathing.

"I love you too, as much as, well, as much as you say you love me," he whispered. Our lips met and my wound closed with the sincerity of our kiss.

"I am deeply sorry, to all of you. I shall return her personality," he snapped and Shadow fell next to Foxy, coughing and shaking.

"It's ok, lass. Just relax. I be right here," he hushed her, gathering her in his arms.

"Farewell, Shadows. We must return home," Nigtorra bowed. They disappear, leaving me and the others to sit in the castle.

Shadow's POV

Foxy carried me to the cove where he sat me on the couch. I still felt like Shadow Freddy was controlling me, so I sat in silence.

"Are ye ok, lass?" Foxy knelt in from of me. I nodded, a smile playing across my face.

"Aye, Foxy. I be fine," I replied.

*warning: itsy bitsy lemon scene ahead. The real lemon will come soon. I'm still considering it.*

Foxy lifted my face and crashed his lips into mine. We sat there for a long while until we pull apart for air. He unbuttoned the waistcoat he gave me, throwing it to the side. Then he slipped my tank top off and laid it on the back of the sofa, leaving me in my sports bra. We kissed again as he sat me on his lap.

"I love ye, Shadow," he whispered as he pressed his forehead to mine.

"I love ye too, Foxy. Forever and always," I whispered back. We laid down on the couch, falling fast asleep under his fleece blanket.
