I rushed over to Ballora's side as quickly as I could.
"Ballora are you ok, what happened?" I asked trying to figure out what happened.
"BABY!" She screeched in a ear piercing tone.
"What about Baby?" Did Baby run in here and slug her really quickly and then run off or what?
"SHE RIPPED MY EYES OUT!" A slight shift of my eyes revealed her eyes to be laying a few feet from her head. Without thinking I stood up and grabbed Bon-bon and I started advancing towards Baby room.
Upon arriving I thrusted my fist forward knocking the door from its hinges. Baby spun around and I picked her up by her throats and I slammed her against the wall. I threw Bon-bon on to the bed leaving a bunch of sparking wires hanging out of my right hand.
I pulled my arm back ready to smash her head in but then I froze. If I did this I wouldn't be any different from her. I looked to Bon-bon who had a frightened look on his face then I turned back to Baby. I let go of her and she fell to the ground coughing. I grabbed Bon-bon and then I stopped. I quickly pivoted around quickly back handing Baby. Then I walked out the room.
I walked back into Ballora gallery to see her sitting on the stage. At a glance you could tell she managed to reattach her eyes but they looked extremely mutilated. It was difficult to look her in the eyes because of this. She turned and looked at me with a concerned look in her eyes. At that moment Foxy rushed into the room.
"Hey is everything ok I heard screaming and..." She froze as if some invisible net prevented her from speaking or moving.
"What happened your your eyes!?" she questioned looking from me to Ballora.
"Baby ripped my eyes out but I was able to reconnect them." Foxy's eyes were filled with fear but, then her gaze shifted to me.
"And what happened to you?" I looked at her utterly confused then I glanced at Ballora who pointed at a mirror. I walked to the mirror only to see something unexpected. My eyes were still there but they were now illuminated with a red light.

Bon-bon leaned towards me while looking at the mirror whispering. "Freddy you need to calm down." I closed my eyes standing in silence for a few seconds. Go to your happy place Freddy, wait where was my happy place. I opened my eyes again and thankfully the red glow was gone. I turned back to Foxy making sure to talk slowly and delicately.
   "I'm fine I was just trying to keep calm." I looked at Foxy who was still fear stuck and then over to Ballora, who gave me a nod of approval.
   "Bon and me are going to go back to sleep." With that I walked back into the breaker room closing the dented door behind me. I got one foot on the mini stage then I froze. The two yellow eyes were once again glaring at me. As last time it disappeared after an audible radio static. Who was that, was a question for another day.
