Five Nights at Freddy's: Dark Rising

Ch. 23: Secrets

[New Show Stage]

Foxy and Freddy were talking behind the curtains of the stage. They seemed to be arguing about something.

"Foxy, I believe we should tell him the secret," Freddy said.

"No lass, I'd think that it'd be better to keep it from him," Foxy said back.

Freddy raised his eyebrow and said, "Well what reason do you have for us not telling him?"

Foxy sighed and pointed his finger at him, "He'd still be a human, but in an animatronics body. Plus he could end up telling Mike about it."

"I still don't see why we have to keep this a secret from humans," Freddy told him.

"Aye, it'd be the bosses decision, not ours," Foxy replied.

Freddy sighed and got up, "I'm telling the secret, he's not a human anymore. He should have the right to know."

Foxy stood and walked out of the curtains. He said to Freddy quietly before he went, "Ye better hope that Jeremy keeps the secret laddie, or he'd end up ruining this place for good."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure that he'll keep the secret," Freddy said as he walked through the curtains. He saw Jeremy talking to Bonnie and Toy Bonnie. Toy Bonnie seems to be laughing, while Bonnie has an angry look at her. Freddy sighs and walks over to them.

"Whats the problem here?" Freddy asked them.

Toy Bonnie just kept on laughing. Jeremy looked confused at them both.

"Oh I'll tell you what happened, Toy Bonnie won't stop acting like we're her brothers or something!" Bonnie said in a harsh voice.

"So? What does it matter if she thinks that? Does it affect anything?" Freddy asked.

"Well... no..." Bonnie told him, "It just gets annoying that's all!"

Freddy sighed and looked at Jeremy, "Hey kid, I need to talk to you in private."

Jeremy smiled and said, "Sure, is there something wrong?"

Freddy turned around and said, "No nothings wrong, just something you need to know about..."

Jeremy looked confused and followed Freddy into the Employee's Lounge.

"Oh, they're going to talk about him," Toy Bonnie said quietly.

Bonnie frowned and said, "It does doesn't it?" He looked under his arms for a second. He saw that Dark Bonnie's fur was covering most of it.

"I will take control of you soon enough Bonnie, you can't do anything to stop me,"Dark Bonnie said in his mind.

"You won't take total control of me, no matter how hard you try!" Bonnie shouted back at him. Dark Bonnie just simply laughed at Bonnie.

[Employee's Lounge]

Swift was laughing as her and Flame watched Toy Freddy trying to use Flame's IPhone. He was frustrated, and he put the IPhone down on the table.

"Come on Toy Freddy, it's not THAT hard to use it, don't you see parents and teens using them all the time?" Flame said to him.

"Well sure, but I'm not allowed to just take them and use them!" Toy Freddy replied.

"This is funny, he can't do anything without the lock screen password," Flame whispered in Swift's ear.

"I know, this is too funny honestly," Swift whispered back at him.

Freddy then came into the room with Jeremy. He saw Toy Freddy trying to get into Flame's IPhone. Swift was still laughing every time he got mad.

"Ok guys, can you guys leave for a moment? I need to tell Jeremy something," Freddy said loud and clear.

"Um sure Freddy!" Flame exclaimed.

"Alright then," Swift said.

"Well sure, I guess," Toy Freddy said.

Flame and Swift left the room. Toy Freddy then left, but before he left he whispered something in Freddy's ear, "Your going to tell Jeremy about him, aren't you?"

"Yes, I'm hoping that he won't say a word to Mike," Freddy whispered back.

"Alright, I'll leave you to it," Toy Freddy whispered as he left the room.

Freddy closed the door behind them, and locked it. He then pulled 2 chairs over, and sat down in 1 of them.

"Come here Jeremy, there's something I've got to tell you," Freddy said. Jeremy sat down in the other chair.

"What is it?" Jeremy asked.

"You know about all of us, the animatronics right?" Freddy told him. Jeremy nodded his head.

"Well, there's another one that was kept hidden from the world," Freddy began,"Only the boss knows about him. He's not even in company records either. We called him Purple, but his real name is Purple Freddy."

"Geeze, why's there so many of you?" Jeremy asked.

"Ha ha, I know right?" Freddy started, "Anyways, he was with us when the 1st Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria was established, not the diner, the pizzeria. After 2 months of being in operation, he seemed to just come out of nowhere, he was found in the Backstage room. We talked for awhile, and he seemed like the children would love him. I went over to the boss and asked him if Purple could perform with us. He quickly disagreed, saying that he would end up like Goldie, hated and unloved. He didn't want the same thing to happen to him, like it did to Goldie. Goldie was at 1st performing with us, but he stopped after only 5 days. The adults said that Goldie was the one who did nothing to protect that child. They only acknowledged him, not even remembering that I did nothing just like Goldie. They said that they will not bring their children back, unless they get rid of him. The boss was sad, but he didn't want to scrap Goldie, so he had the workers hide him in the backstage. The boss didn't want that happening to another animatronic. I tried to convince him otherwise, but he had already made up his mind. He didn't want anyone to know about Purple, so he told us to lie to him to keep him from being discovered. Not even the company itself knew about Purple. We had him stay in the darkest corner, in the darkest box. We didn't even allow him to leave that box, since the security guard always came at night. We felt bad for him, but we did what was necessary to keep him safe."

Jeremy had more questions about Purple Freddy. He wanted to know why he's not with them.

"So where is he then?" Jeremy asked.

Freddy told him, "Well when the 2nd building was up, there was a basement under the Parts and Service where we hid him. Since this is a combined design of the last place and that one, I'm assuming he's still down there."

"Don't you think that the lies were too much for him?" Jeremy asked ask he slowly got up.

Freddy got up and started to unlock the door, "Yes, we all did. But we had to do what was necessary for him." They both then left the Employee's Lounge.

[New Show Stage]

Freddy and Jeremy were walking to the New Show Stage.

"It seems awfully quiet, don't you think?" Jeremy asked Freddy.

Freddy frowned and said back, "Yes it does, something feels wrong. Hurry run!"

They both ran into the main party room. They were shocked at what they saw. Everyone but Mike was knocked out, and badly injured.

"Gu-guys!" Mike shouted at them.

"Mike! Don't worry, we're coming over to you!" Jeremy shouted back.

"No please! Stay away! They might get you!" Mike yelled at them.

"Who is this 'they'?" Freddy asked. Jeremy watched as a purple animatronic arm came from the wall. It reached out for Freddy's neck.

"Freddy, look out!" Jeremy shouted as Freddy turned around.

"What?" Freddy said as he looked at Jeremy. The arm then punched Freddy in the neck, and it knocked him out cold. Jeremy looked in fear as he saw several animatronics come out from the walls. Shade looked straight at Jeremy.

"I'm back for my body human," Shade said as he reached for Jeremy's face.
