Five Nights Till Freedom

Control Emotions

The glares of all the people in front of me made me squirm in discomfort. I had never seen them so mad before.

But then they turned their attention to BB who was trying to crawl away on his hands and knees.

Fred immediately grabbed him by the back of his shirt and hauled him to his feet.

BB squeaked and squirmed, "Wait! Fred don't hurt me!"

Fred ignored him and looked him in the eye, "Why did you bring Rachel back in here! I should of known you were spying on us this whole time!"

BB tried to wriggle free from Fred's grasp but eventually gave up on it and hung limp in his hold, "I'm sorry Fred."

Fred shook the little boy hard in obvious frustration, "Don't lie to us you little brat! You always pull some smart ass prank!"

I'd never seen Fred so mad before and it was obvious by the look in my eyes. Fred took one look at me then slowly let go of BB.

Then BB being free of Fred immediately ran over to me and hid behind my back, wrapping his arms around my waist. He stuck his tongue out at Fred after seeing his red face full of rage.

Foxy looked at BB then immediately looked away seeming to still be mad at me.

Fred then sighed and his face went back to its normal calm expression, "Rachel, I know you may not understand this, but you are in possible danger."

I nodded, "I'm fully aware of that Fred."

Foxy shook his head, "No Rachel, I don't think you fully understand." He walked straight up to me till he was towering over me by at least four inches. His eyes were full of concern as he spoke, "Everyone here is at risk of dying but only one of us here is really alive."

He then gently pressed his idea finger on my nose, "That's you Rachel. We want to make sure you don't end up like us."

I could my face redden softly. Not just the fact that Foxy was close to me again but the words that were coming out of his mouth.

That's when suddenly I felt BB squeeze me tighter from around my waist, "If you kick her out again I'll just drag her back in!"

I was surprised as I looked down at the child. He had a defiant and rebellious look on his face, a gleam in his blue eyes.

Foxy and Fred looked stunned and I could see Bon from the corner of my eye smirk in the slightest way.

Fred was about to speak when Foxy then put his hand on his shoulder with a sigh, "Fred, we can't underestimate him. He's smarter than he looks."

Bon nodded his head in agreement, "Foxy is right you know." He then stepped up closer, putting his hands into the pockets of his purple pants. "Last time you underestimated him you ended up locked in the janitors closer remember?"

Fred looked away in embarrassment, "I told you never to mention that again Bon."

Bon shrugged and then looked at me. He smiled softly and this time it didn't have a seductive look to it anymore, "Plus, I think we could all spend time with Rachel a little bit more."
