The New Nightguard (FNAF x OC Fanfiction) Book 1

Chapter 8 The Withdrawal

Ace's POV

      I stare at my alarm clock as if I'm waiting to see it go up in flames. I hadn't slept very well in the past few days, my nightmares seemed to have gotten more bloody and gory, then as soon as I think it can't get any worse it starts all over again. The dreams starting out as whispers of my dead parents, Emma, and all the people who ridiculed me, making fun of me...etc...etc...

I roll over and stare back at the ceiling of my room, a hand resting on my forehead. I lifted my bangs up and stared at the ceiling for a minute then I let my bangs fall back over my eyes, covering them like a screen.

"You know you can't hide your eyes forever, right?"

I hear a deep, almost echo-ish voice behind me say.

"What do you want Goldie..." I trail off boredly, not caring he was there.

"Or don't answer me that works too. You haven't gone to work in 3 days now, Ace. Freddy's getting a bit pissed off at you now, I'm honestly just curious as to why you're staying in here. You haven't eaten since Friday at least...even I know that this isn't healthy even for you...or any human really." Goldie says to me, walking out of the shadows and sitting on the edge of my bed looking at me.

     I simply shrug, and close my eyes, wide awake but still just out of it. I had a major headache from caffeine withdrawal, and I also flat out was done with that pizzeria. I couldn't stay there for one more night...it might be the death of me. Why I even voluntarily applied for the job was beyond me but I felt like I needed to go there, almost like there was a secret waiting to be uncovered...

     I sigh and shake my head not willing to go back there. I was done, I had almost been killed...several times! I open one eye and I see Goldie still sitting on my bed facing me, his black eyes looking at me, almost as if he's reading my thoughts...

     I sit up, turning away from him. I walk to my closet and put on some clean clothes after closing the door on my closet that is. I walk out wearing a black long-sleeved shirt, black pants, and the security jacket. I sigh walking downstairs, putting my black tennis shoes on and I abruptly leave my house, locking the door behind me. I started walking away from my house, feeling a bit better but still feeling weighed down by my past. I pulled the hood of the jacket, up to cover my face and I put my hands in the jacket's pockets.

I sigh heavily, walking down the sidewalk with my head down. What was even the point of volunteering for that job anyway? All it's done for me is get me into near-death experiences...I mean...it's not like I would care if I did die...'No stop it! What am I saying? Snap out of it Ace...'

     My conscious seemed to snap at me and if I'm honest it didn't sound like my own voice. I shrug it off and continue walking. I glance up and I realize I am at the park, 2 miles away from my house. The sun is barely setting, which cast a golden glow on the playground and trees. I walk over to a bench and sit down, looking around the park. I was alone to which I was glad for but I felt the empty feeling of loneliness surrounding me.

'I really should make friends...but then again who would want to be friends with a freak like me?' I think to myself quietly. I suddenly hear a twig snap directly behind me, a couple of feet away.

"Who's there?" I ask in a bored tone. I could honestly care less who was behind me right then.

     I hear someone's footsteps walk up behind me, then I heard them stop. I felt a presence jump over the top of the bench and sit next to me. I crossed my arms over my chest and looked slightly to my right. I saw a boy sitting next to me. He was wearing black pants with purple converse, a white long sleeved shirt, a purple vest with 5 silver studded spikes on each shoulder, a red ribbon around the collar of his shirt tied in a bow, and he had violet colored hair.

     "Hey."
     "Hey..."

     I shift a little bit away from him, unsure of what to do. Something seemed a bit familiar about the boy...but I wasn't so sure.

"It's a nice night tonight..." the boy says, casually placing his arm on the back of the bench around me.

"Yeah...I guess so..." I say looking at the sunset. I noticed he had bangs that swept across his left eye so from my angle I couldn't see his eyes at all.

     The boy looked like he was maybe 19 or 20 years old, at least in my opinion anyways. He casually scooted a little closer and wrapped an arm around my shoulders.

"Hey, are you all right? You're shaking a little..."

     I realized right then that I was indeed shaking slightly. I zip up my jacket, stuffing my hands into my pockets in a weak attempt at getting feeling back into my hands. I didn't pay attention until it was already too late, but the boy had wrapped his arm around my upper arms and brought me closer to him. Surprisingly he was actually a bit warmer than I originally thought. I felt...comfortable for once with this stranger. I hesitantly rest my head against his shoulder, looking at the ground.

     I felt him slip my hood off and brush his fingers through my short hair, I felt my eyes slowly closing, as I felt more and more relaxed.

     I suddenly felt a sharp pain rip through both of my eyes and I flinch in pain, yelping. My eyes jerk open and when I look down I see a pair of purple animatronic legs. Jumping up I spin around and see Bonnie sitting where the boy was before. Then almost like a computer glitch, it goes back and forth between the boy and Bonnie.

"W-What the hell?! What's going on!" I back up from Bonnie...or whoever that was. My eyes burned like hell and Bonnie kept flashing from a human back to his animatronic form.

"Ace! Ace please calm down!" Bonnie stood up and started walking towards me. I shake my head and back up from him, not believing what I was seeing.

"S-Stay away from me...!" I turn and run away from him. My vision started to blur in and out of focus and before I knew it, I ran into something hard. My nose hurt and my head hurt. I looked up in the sky seeing the dark night sky then my vision faded into darkness. All I heard was a voice in the distance...

"Ace...! Ac-...A-...."
