Deadly Obsession (A FNAF Fanfic)

Chapter 7

     I wake the next morning peacefully and fully rested. 'Wow. Haven't felt like that in awhile.' I walk into my kitchen and grab myself some cereal before settling down in front of the tv to watch something. About an hour later, a knock on my door breaks me from my mini marathon of Tiger and Bunny.

     "Who is it?!" I call from my too-comfortable-to-leave seat.

     "Your worst nightmare!" I smirk at his response and listen for a real one. "Nah, it's Jeremy." There we go.

     "Come in!" The door opens revealing the weirdo I had come to know as Jeremy.

     "Hey. So, how did it go?" He walks in with a big smile on his face and comes over to sit beside me.

     "Not great. I got attacked but then the strangest thing happened." I put my empty bowl of cereal down on the table beside me and turn to face Jeremy completely.

     "Oh yeah? What?" He asks.

     "You know Golden Freddy right?" He looks at me slightly confused and mumbles an answer.

     "Yeah..."

     "He saved me." I smile and watch as Jeremy's face goes from confused to shocked.

     "He... saved you?" He repeats my words and looks down to the ground. I nod rapidly.

     "Yup, I have no idea why but I would have been dead if he hadn't." Jeremy glances at me with widened eyes before looking back to the floor.

     "T-That's good. We wouldn't want that now would we?" He speaks after a few seconds. I shake my head and give a small smile.

     "Nope. Hey... You doing alright there? You don't look all that great." Jeremy's skin seems to have gone paler, almost making him look sick. He doesn't respond for a minute and just stares wide eyed at the flooring. I nudge him a bit to see if I can get a response.

     "Hm? Yeah. I'm fine. Just a little shocked that one of the animatronics saved you." I nod, completely understanding his shock.

     "Yeah... I am too. I think the only reason I'm not insane yet is cause I got you to talk to." I smile at him. "That and I don't think the whole situation is really sinking in." Jeremy gets to his feet and looks at me.

     "I... I think I better go..." His attitude catches me off guard slightly. Before he seemed to be a very happy and bubbly person almost to the point where nothing could affect him but now he looks terrified.

     "Aww... Is your shift starting soon?" I try my best to keep the mood lighter but Jeremy only glances at me before mumbling some words I barely catch.

     "Yeah... My shift... Starting soon...." He walks to the door and slips his shoes back on. I stay in my spot and just watch as he walks almost zombie-like.

     "Ok then... Bye." I wave a bit.

     "Bye." He doesn't even look back at me as he closes the door, leaving me to my own devices.

*Time skip to next afternoon*

     I hum as I dance around my kitchen, making myself some lunch. I set my plate down beside the latest bouquet of flowers and build my sandwich. My stomach growls in anticipation. 'You can wait just a little longer!' I sit down and dig into the delicious food.

    "Mmm..." I smile as I chew. I grab the card belonging to the flowers that arrived last night.

     Hello my dear! I'm sorry I forgot to send you something yesterday but I was a little busy. I hope these Forget-Me-Not's will be enough of an apology. If not, then I have something even better planned! I hope you enjoy my surprise!

     Signed,
     (purple flower)

     I finish off my sandwich and look at the colorful bunch, some were blue, others purple, and even some white. 'Who are you...' A knock on my door breaks me out of my thoughts. I dump my dishes into the sink and go to open the door.

     "Hello?" A woman in jeans and a tank top stands in front of me. Under her arm rests a fairly big box.

     "Hey. I have a package for you. It was sent to management for some reason." She speaks with a strong voice, but somehow manages to sound laidback and carefree.

     "Oh. Thank you!" I take the brown package from her and stick it on the floor behind me. "Umm... before you go. Do you know who keeps sending me flowers? Like, does anyone else have a key to my apartment?" With each word she looks more and more confused. She shakes her head.

     "No... There should only be one key to each apartment." She trails off and gains a far away look in her eyes. My eyes widen at her response. 'So, whoever is sending me stuff is getting into my apartment without permission? Great...'

     "Oh... Thank you..." I respond. She snaps back to the present at the sound of my voice.

     "Is there anything else?" She asks while shifting her weight from side to side.

     "No. That's all."

     "Alright. I'll see you later then." She walks away and I turn back into my house, bringing the box with me. I put it down beside the different bouquets and look at the address. 'Well... It's definitely for me but why is there no return address?' I grab a knife and tear open the top. The first thing I spot is two little bunny ears. I reach in and pull out the golden body attached to said ears. I set the mechanical rabbit down on the counter and look it over. It sits hunched over with its arms dangling, gears and metal parts can be seen through cracks in its fuzzy, golden armor. The same can be said for the legs and body which are covered in the coating.

     "I would say you were cute but... you remind me too much of the animatronics." I look back into the box and spot a piece of paper sitting on the bottom. I pick it up and read.

     Say hello to Plushtrap! Isn't he cute? I thought he would make a great friend for you! Be careful though, he bites.

     Signed,
     (purple flower)

     'He bites?' I grab Plushtrap and open his jaw, which reveals several rows of teeth. I let go of his jaw and it snaps shut. 'Wow. I will be careful.' I set Plushtrap back down and go sit on the couch.'Was that the surprise they were talking about? I hope so. I don't really want anymore surprises.' An alarm goes off on my phone and I check it. 'Sleep before work... Do I really want to go? I mean, I almost died before.' I sink into the couch and take a deep breath. 'It's triple the salary though and I could really use the money.' I glance over at Plushtrap and stare for a minute.

     "What do you think Plushy? Should I go and finish the last night?" No response. "That Golden bear was protecting me though, maybe he'll help me again." Again, no response, but I could've sworn I heard a snicker. I sigh and finally make my decision.

     "Let's do this!"
