Twenty Two

Nearing the end

~•~•~•~

"Get out of my class!" Frightmare's mythology teacher boomed at the boy. He ducked as if expecting a book or something to go flying at his head. "Go to the principal's office, now." The man growled, pointing towards the office. Sulking, Frightmare made his way slowly to the place, unsure what to say when he got there.

When he did get there, the secretary looked up. "Who are you?"

"Um, Frightmare Wellington. My mythology teacher sent me down here." He muttered. "I'm new."

"Why?" The secretary tapped away at her keyboard, every so often glancing up at the clock.

"Well, first I had gotten into a fight with a kid because of my... parentage, and after I answered something in a way he didn't like." Frightmare bit his lip, drawing blood from how sharp his teeth were.

"Whatever. The principal is in his office now." The woman sighed boredly.

Frightmare nodded and walked quietly into the inner office, the tall principal looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Frightmare Wellington?"

"Yes." Frightmare took a seat.

"Your teacher just called me. He said that you got into a fight and then answered a question rather rudely." The principal leaned forward in his chair. "Am I correct?"

"Well, I only did what I know when I was attacked because of who my dad was, and I was defending my siblings. And my mom, whoever she was." Frightmare sighed.

"Was?" The man showed no expression.

"My dad's dead."

"Who was your dad?"

"Um, Derek Wellington."

"Mhm. Okay then, who are your siblings. I'm finding you a little hard to believe."

"Its true!"

"Who are your siblings in this school Frightmare."

"Creep Wellington, Breaker Wellington, Nightmare Wellington, Freakout Wellington and, um, Fredrick Lewis."

"Fredrick?" The principal paused in lifting his phone to call the other down to his office. "You mean the white haired boy that sang with SL last weekend?"

"Yes. That's when my little sister was kidnapped too. By our oldest brother Killer."

"What kind of names are these?"

"Well, you see, my dad wanted frightening names for us. He also wanted us to become like him but the only one that did was Killer." Frightmare lifted his arm and took the prosthetic hand off. "The rest of us suffered because of it."

The principal shivered. "Just, get out of my office. I'm letting you off with a warning. And don't try to sell me those sappy lies just to get out of trouble next time."

Never in his life had Frightmare felt so hopeless and small when trying to tell the truth.

~•~•~•~

Frightmare sat down on the steps of the school and lit a cigarette, waiting for everybody else. Pretty soon he was joined by Freakout - who waved the smoke from his face, Creep - who refused when Frightmare offered her a cigarette, Breaker and Fredrick - who both took from Fredrick's pack - and Nightmare - who took from his own pack.

"Principal's a dick." Frightmare grumbled. "He didn't believe me when he asked who our dad was." He blew the smoke over his head and away from Freakout, who's immune system was weak enough without secondhand smoke.

"He thought I was going to be this really tattooed delinquent that smokes twenty four seven the first time he heard how many homes I've been in. He stereotypes." Fredrick shook his head, breathing in the smoke. "Don't smoke as often as he thinks I would but I do smoke. Never even had a temporary tattoo much less a permanent one." He sighed.

"I haven't met the principal yet but a teacher tried to take my crutch then looked  shocked when I fell over because of my twisted leg." Freakout grumbled as Funtime, Lexi, Ballora and Baby joined them.

"Isn't it illegal to smoke on school property?" Baby asked. Breaker tapped a sign.

"No drugs. That's it. Tobacco ain't a drug." She puffed her cigarette. "Not like we're going to smoke inside anyway. Never have." She sighed and yawned. This school's a bitch. It was either too loud or too quiet and I kept having to adjust my hearing aids. This isn't really a place for us."

"Ugh, the adults kept insisting I could see because I can walk without a cane or a dog." Nightmare muttered darkly. "They told me that I just had to pin my fringe away from my eyes and boom. Vision. I finally had to show them the scratches around my eyes."

"The music teacher and drama teacher are pretty cool though." Creep mumbled.

"Bonnie said that the drama teacher used to be one of his teachers too. And the music teacher has a disability of his own." Fredrick sighed, stomping out the butt of his cigarette. Funtime, now that Fredrick wasn't smoking anymore, plopped down in his lap grumbling about high expectations.

"Hey Fredrick, mind texting Mangle and Chica that I'll be staying on your couch until Chew is back home safe and Killer is out of the picture? He's going to be targeting you the most since you're the one that had ended up killing Dad." Frightmare flicked his cigarette butt into a puddle. "It might be better for me to hang around since Bonnie is still relearning to walk, Foxy's mainly occupied with him and Ennard's only twelve. And he's been at my house mainly trying to help keep CheeChee under control."

"Sure." Fredrick sighed, texting Mangle, Chica and Bonnie.

"You know Fredrick," Creep tilted her head, looking at the older boy, "you act a lot like dad did. But, you're also a lot better than him because you put it toward defending what you love. Not power. Even though Killer is bigger, he doesn't have fast wits like dad did. You do. You could probably outsmart him and lead him into a trap."

"We could all get our revenge on Killer then." Freakout smiled widely. "You could lead him into a trap and then we can show him what it was like to be us." He looked up at Frightmare. "You especially since he's the reason you're missing your hand and you can't see out of one eye."

A wicked and frightening smile spread across Frightmare's face. "Let's show him why you don't mess with our family. Our real family."

~•~•~•~

I am having too much fun with this. This is more of a filler but its still important.

And Frightmare only considers those good to him and close to him family. So Creep, Breaker, Fredrick, Chew, Freakout, Nightmare, Funtime, Bonnie, Foxy, Mangle, Chica, CheeChee and Ennard. He doesn't see Lexi, Baby and Ballora as family because he isn't around them as much. More reliable friends.
