The Funtime Duo

Chapter 18: Circus Ennard

   Even though there was no one here I still got up on stage and started practicing after we ate. I started strumming the guitar slowly thinking about our first night here and the show that Bon and me put on.
"Would you like for me to join you?" Foxy asked smiling while jumping up on the stage. I could only smile back at her. Thinking back on that first day Foxy had stopped performing in awe and, she got so embarrassed when I pointed at her during the love song. She acts so cute when she's embarrassed or has the spotlight on her.
   "Everyone please report to the main area." An intercom voice chimed in. I made a low grumble before jumping off the stage and going to the main area. Upon entering the main area I found Baby was severely damaged on the floor. Standing on the stage was a figure it looked familiar. On further inspection I recognized the mask, it was the weird clown but now it had a suit.

   "Well hello Freddy." I gave him a death stare that was noticeable from a mile away. "So where's Bon-bon, oh wait he's six feet under." He started laughing psychotically at his own words. He must have a few wires loose if he thinks he can make fun of my brothers death.
   At this time Ballora and Foxy decided to join the round up. I kept looking around the room in search of something. There was a distinct eerie atmosphere to the room that I recognized but, I couldn't put my finger on it.
"Well long time no see Ballora where's that pesky brother of yours?" More laughter. A child's laugh to be accurate.
   "What are you doing here Ennard." Ballora stepped forward looking directly at the clown.
   "Wait you know this thing Ballora?" Foxy got a sigh and a nod from Ballora.
   "He was one of the original three performers here." We where both staring her down now. "There was Yendo, Ennard, and me." She sounded rather depressed now.
"So what happened?" I asked quickly.
"I would rather not talk about it." There would be no use in arguing with her.
   I turned back to the clown watching her when I saw a glint of a familiar object. It was a yellow tooth. The clown stopped laughing and then stared for a bit. At that moment Baby finally decided to come back to life.
She jumped up and slammed into Ennard before falling back into the ground next to us going unconscious again. Something fell off his back and hit the ground and rolled around until it finally came to a stop.
   On a glance I recognized the object. I screamed and charged at the clown only to get grabbed and restrained by Ballora.
"HE DID IT!!!" I wasn't thinking, I was just swinging my arms around like a maniac. "HE KILLED BON-BON!!!" Still Ballora held me back.
   "Freddy stop, you can't take him, his endoskeleton is way more durable than yours, you won't win." I didn't care I was still going to get him. Bon-bon must be avenged.
Ennard only looked at me stupidly before walking over to the mask and picking it up. He looked at the mask for a bit before he threw it at our feet.
   "Here's a little memento from your friend." He turned and stopped for a second. "And if you want to know why this happened go ask Yendo." Silence filled the room for a brief second before he continued. "Maybe he'll finally tell someone the truth. With those words he vanished into thin air. I fell to my knees picking up the rotten mask examining it.
   "Freddy I'm sorry but I couldn't let him kill you too." I turned staring daggers into Ballora before speaking.
   "What does he mean finally tell the truth?" Ballora only stared at me. "I'm going after him then and don't try to stop me." I stormed off infuriated back to my room locking the door behind me.
   I turned to see Yendo watching me out of the darkness. "You here to hide stuff from me as well?" He shook his head calmly. "Well you can't stop me from doing this." Yendo looked off into the darkness before returning a response.
   "I'm not here to stop you, I'm here to help you and set an old record straight."
