These are my friends (A Five Nights At Freddy's Story)

Different dream

(Carrie's POV)
I woke up sitting on a soft chair. I wasn't any place I recognized. The room had pale beige walls and white tiles floors. There were a few paintings of calming flower fields and beaches with ocean waves crashing onto the shore. I was having the strange feeling I had been here before.

I looked down at my clothes. I was wearing a purple shirt with a unicorn riding a rainbow on it. I hadn't seen this shirt since I was really little. After looking around a bit more I finally noticed the hospital bed in front of me. I could kind of see someone breathing from over the weird railing hospital bed have. Their face however was hidden behind said rails.

I'm pretty sure it was just my strange imagination but hanging on the end and side of the bed were little multi colored dragons. I carefully stood up and walked to the edge of the bed, the little dragons watching me as I got close.

When I reached the edge of the bed my breath caught in my throat. Laying in the bed was a little girl. She had long blonde hair with bright blue eyes. She had bags under her eyes and was very thin. She looked so weak and frail. I finally recognized where I was. I could feel the sting of tears trying to rise in my eyes. "M-Mary?" I finally said.

Mary looked at me and smiled. "Morning sleepy brains" She said hoarsely. "You fell asleep in that chair." I swallowed my tears and forced a smile. "Yeah. Wasn't my best sleep." I remembered this so vividly now.

Mary smiled. It looked so strained. So hard. I took a quick look at the table beside her bed. All the flowers, cards and balloons. I struggled to hide my small giggle upon seeing a Freddy Fazbear balloon. "Thank you for waiting with Mary Carrie." Said a voice from the  door. A women with ashy blonde hair stood in the slightly open door. She was wearing a forest green dress and had her hair in a bun. She had on black high heels and held a handbag with white pearl decals. "No problem misses Mary's Mom." I said in my normal tone of voice. Misses Mary's mom. The nickname I gave her when we first met.

Mary's mom sat in a chair next to us and held Mary's hand. The little dragons on the right side of the bed flapped to the left side when Mary's mom came close. "The doctors said you are going to be all better very soon sweetums." She said smiling a strained smile. I knew that smile all to well. That smile used to haunt my dreams. Until my mom left. Then a new dream haunted me.

"Hey Carrie" Mary said moving her head weakly to look at me. "Do you remember that bracelet I gave you?" I nodded grabbing my wrist where said bracelet was currently resting. Mary weakly lifted her hand and pointed to where the other matching bracelet was. "Could you get me mine? Please?" I nodded and walked over grabbing the bracelet and giving it to her. She held it to her chest and smiled.

I heard a knock on the door before a nurse stuck her head in the door. "Mrs. Braily? Could we see you outside for a minute?" Mary's mom nodded. She gave Mary's hand one more reassuring squeeze before leaving to see the nurse outside.

Mary looked at me her face now serious. "I'm tired of smiling Carrie" She said. "Smiling like everything is going to be alright." Tears begins to gather in her eyes. I knew what was coming next. My stomach felt sick just thinking about it. The little dragons were slowly withering, their eyes becoming hollow black sockets.

"I heard some of the doctors last night." Mary said a few tears escaping from her eyes. "They don't think I'll make it past today." I swallowed a tear now escaping my eye. "You're going to be fine Mary." I lied. "soon we'll both be back in your backyard playing pirates and stealing your mom's silverware. I smiled at the memories of playing in the pirate ship playset Mary had in her backyard. For my birthday one year her mom bought us matching pirate costumes. WE would wear them outside and bury the treasure a.k.a the silverware which we had to dig up later when her mom needed it.

Mary smiled weakly. "If only Carrie." She weakly handed me her matching bracelet. " When you make another best friend... give this to them. Alright?" ore tears fell down my face as I slowly took the other bracelet and slipped it on my arm right under mine. I reached over and grabbed Mary's hand. For a moment it was only the two of us. The dragons had completely withered away leaving nothing but dust marks in their wake. All other sounds blurred out. Which is probably how I didn't hear the heart monitor racing faster.

Mary smiled at me. The last time I would ever see that smile. "I wish I had more time" She said shakily. I nodded "Me to." We were both crying now. The red seemed so bright and full of life on her face. She smiled and said "I'm sorry I have to leave you like this." I shook my head wanted all of this to not be real. "You're not leaving me Mary." I said between sobs. She took a deep breath. "I'll never leave you Carrie." I choked on my tears as she said the last thing she would ever say. "You're my bestest friend in the whole wide world."

Everything became a blur after that. I could faintly hear the sound of the heart monitor flat lining. Suddenly I was being dragged away by a frantic mother and some nurses. The world slowly faded out until all I could see was Mary lying dead in her bed. I felt a hand on my shoulder, but I didn't look to see who it was.

Why? Why did I have to live through this a second time? Why did she leave me. She left me to face the horrors that would soon come all by myself. I felt myself sobbing harder. It was hard to breathe. I struggled to take a breath. I could barely see through the tears gathering in my eyes. Finally everything faded out.

(Marionette's POV)
I woke up hearing the loud excited children outside the box. From what I could tell I had a few minutes. Lucky for me. I felt stiff and groggy which was unusual. After a minute I noticed Carries curled up next to me in the box.

Her body was trembling, and her face seemed wet. I gently leaned over and wiped her face. "Is she...crying?" I thought aloud. I put my hand on her shoulder before she suddenly jolted awake. I pulled back then gently put my hand back on her shoulder. I must've taken her a minute to notice me because when she did she tackled me in a hug.

She buried her head in my chest. I could feel her tears against my outer suit. I didn't know what to do. I had never had to deal with crying children save that one time. But then those kids were already dead and were an easy fix. This was a living person. A teenager on top of that.

After a while I just awkwardly hugged her. After a minute or two of sitting like this I realized I had a party to entertain. I quickly let go of Carrie and jumped out of my box. I tried my best to quickly hand out gifts and do what I was supposedly programed to do then returned to my box.

I quietly leaned against the box. A little later I felt Carrie snuggle up against me. I carefully put one arm around her. Slowly the music box started up. For once I wished someone would forget to wind up that stupid box, I wanted to be awake in case Carrie needed me. But despite my struggles I was slowly lulled to sleep.
