Five Nights Till Freedom

Third Night

The door clicked open as it usually did when I turned the key to open the front doors of Freddy Fazbears Pizza.

I walked inside and closed the door behind me being greeted by the usual darkness.

I walked through the front entranceway and I saw to my surprise the whole group sitting on top of the party tables or standing beside them.

Fred, Bon, Foxy, Chicka and Mangle sat or stood in silence until I came into view.

"What's going on?" I asked softly.

They looked up and gazed at me sadly. Fred after looking at everyone started to walk over to me.

He slowly put a hand on my shoulder and gripped it firmly.

He appeared completely hopeless and my heart started to pound in confusion and sorrow, "Fred?"

"Rachel.... You can't stay here anymore...." He whispered softly.

My eyes widened and I could see Foxy turn his head away so I couldn't see his face.

"Why can't I stay?! I need to help you guys?!" I almost yelled at Fred, tears filling my eyes.

He shook his head looking at me with the saddest looking eyes I had ever seen. He looked like he was forcing out each word.

"Rachel please. This is our own fault, we don't want you to be hurt because of us." His voice quivered softly, "You have such a long life to live... I couldn't bear it if you...you..." He couldn't finish the sentence as he had to bite his lip.

I gently took his hand in mine and squeezed it tightly, "Fred, please don't do this! You don't have to protect me, I need to help you be free." I looked back at the others but they simply shook their heads at me, "I can't just leave you guys!"

Fred took his hand from mine slowly and turned away from me, "Why are you making this so hard Rachel?" He turned back to me and spoke in a much more commanding voice, "Don't you see we want to protect you! That we don't want you to end up like us!"

I flinched softly from his words and looked down at my feet. Tears fell slowly to the ground.

"I'm sorry..." Fred said softly, "But please...."

I looked up at him defiantly, "You can't make me leave Fred! I'm going to solve this curse!"

I then suddenly gasped as my feet were lifted from the floor and I was held over somebody's shoulder. I looked down to see Foxy holding me close to him as he started to walk towards where I knew the back exit was.

I started to bang my hands against his back but he didn't even flinch, "Foxy please stop! Let me go! Let me help you!"

He didn't listen to me but just kept walking.

I couldn't do anything as he carried me away from the others. I saw Bon cover his face with his hands and Chika look away down the hall. Even Mangle looked slightly upset.

Finally we ended up in the room where Foxy's stage was located and the back exit.

He set me down on my feet gently and looked down at me. That's when I saw that he looked the most depressed out of everyone, "It's time for you to go now Rachel."

I shook my head as I looked at him, "Foxy, please don't do this..." I whispered softly, "I promised Thomas I would do whatever it takes..."

Foxy slowly reached out with his normal hand. I felt his fingertips graze my cheek and then rest on the back of my neck. He gently pulled me closer and I then felt him press his forehead against mine, "Rachel..." He whispered softly, "You shouldn't of made an impossible promise..."

I looked at his face. His amber eye was glistening with an outline of tears while his other eye remained hidden behind a black eye patch. A reminder of the scar he got from the Puppet.

"Please...." I whispered and I felt his soft breath on my face. He looked at me and I could swear there was something else besides sadness in his eyes.

But they quickly filled back with sorrow again. He then pulled himself away from me. His hand leaving from the back of my neck, "Im not going to watch you hurt yourself by staying here."

I saw him open the back door and then put his hooked hand against my back. He gently pressed me forward and I stumbled outside the pizzeria, unable to push against him.

I looked back at him just as he was starting to push the door closed, "I hope you still remember us with good memories Rachel. We're doing this so you don't end up like us."

He then looked at the ground, "Goodbye Rachel."

He then closed the door and I heard the sound of a lock turning.

I slowly collapsed against the wall of the pizzeria letting the tears fully flow.

This can't be happening....
