Fearful Lover (Humanoid! Circus Baby x Fem! Reader)

Chapter Seven

(Vent Creature)

    -(Y/n)'s Pov.-

      "... Dammit..." I still can't figure out why she called me... cute...

    Date: September 22, 1998

      Yesterday, I was confronted with the ringleader of the establishment, Circus Baby. She was bigger than the others, the biggest in fact. She picked me up with one hand, holding me by the back of my shirt. I, of course, was terrified... I thought I'd be dead and gone, but... She didn't kill me... She... She...

      *SCREECH*! H-huh?! I look up at the vent... What the hell was that?! I get up from the desk and grab my flashlight. I get up on the desk, grabbing onto the vent cover. I remove and shine my light into the vent...

      "...!" It's that Thing!

      It quickly turned it's head at me and started to crawl towards me! I get off the desk and run out the door. I can hear that Thing collapsing onto the desk... I run down the left hallway, I didn't look back... I didn't want to look back...! Ah! S-shit! It's the bear and ballerina! I slow to a stop as they look over at me.

      "HEY BON-BON!!! THERE'S THE BIRTHDAY GIRL!!!" Oh dear...

      "My, my... It is, isn't?" I slowly started to back up.

      "...!" *SCREECH*!!!

      "S-shit! I'm trapped!" I look around for an exit, but...

      "Wait, Funtime Freddy... It's... HIM..." Huh?!

      T-they aren't moving closer... In fact... They're moving away?! I take the opportunity to slip by the two robots to escape... Why were they... acting like that? It was almost like they were...

      "Afraid of it... But why?" Why would they be afraid of... it?

      "... Well... I remember the bear and the bunny were talking about someone... They said 'him'... So, that thing is... whomever 'him' is..." I let out a sigh as I rest against one of the walls.

      "Hm?! What the hell?" I stand up straight as I look towards the wall...

      I heard something... It sounded like... that fox... Funtime Foxy... I step towards the wall this time, I press my ear against and knock. This wall... it's false... There is a secret passage here! There has to be one, why else would there be a false wall... I press on every spot of the wall.

      "Ah!" I pressed a button!

      The wall pushes back and opens up... Why is there a passageway here? At a children's restaurant for that matter? I shine my flashlight towards the entrance. I walk down the stairs, there is light coming from the bottom of the passage...

      "...!" Once I reach the bottom, I find the fox sitting at a table...

      They haven't noticed me, luckily... I turn off my flashlight and quietly sneak by them. I'm met with a hallway dividing into five or six rooms... I look into them as I walk by... I stop at the second to last one... I see small rays of light coming from inside. I step inside, the light rays were coming from the... closet? Why there? I step towards the closet... I decided to take a small peek inside of it.

      "... Oh... It's her..." Circus Baby was inside the broken closet, in a room hidden behind the closet doors...

      "..." Maybe I should... talk to her...

      "Hm? Well, that was fast... I could have sworn it would have taken longer to repair that part..." Huh?

      I open the door and let myself in... Albeit very scared and nervously... She's huge... I can't believe I'm standing right behind her...

      "... U-uh... Umm... I... Uh...".

    -Circus Baby's Pov.-

      Hm? It seems that someone wants my attention, but why so nervously?

      "Yes, what do you- Oh! It's you, (Y/n), I didn't know that you were down here... How did you find out about our little safe haven...?" She looked away as she was shaking.

      "I... Uh... I sort just found a... f-false wall... and the button..." Ah... I see.

      "Well, you certainly found me~. Are you interested in my proposal, perhaps?" She shook her head slightly...

      "W-well... Yes... and no... What do you mean... Are you really going to protect me?" Hm?

      "No, why would I protect you? ... Well... You are too cute not to protect~." She gave me a dissatisfied expression.

      "Then... What do you mean?" I chuckle.

      "I'll tell my friends not to hurt you, they might be a bit suspicious of you for a while, but they'll grow fond of you. Just give them some time. I'll make sure they'll listen, I am the Ringleader after all~.".

      "So, even that vent creature will leave me alone?" V-vent creature?!

      "Who are you talking about?" She looked up at me confused.

      "You know, the one made of wires... That screeches and it doesn't really look like much?".

       "*Gasp*! When did you see Him?" She steps away from me, I scared her again...

      "I'm sorry I scared you, but this really important... I need to know when you saw Him?".

      "I first saw... uh...  that Thing a few days ago... It chased me through the vents and I saw it a few moments ago..." I look away.

      "... (Y/n), He... is not my friend... He... is none of our friends... I need you to promise me... If you ever see him again, that you'll come to get me... Ok?" She is a bit hesitant, but she nods.

      "... Your 'friends' won't hurt me right?".

      "I'll let them know about you, so they won't... As long as you don't hurt them, got it?" (Y/n) tilts her head.

      "Ok? How can I hurt them exactly? I'm just flesh and bones..." I chuckled at her statement.

      "Let's not think about that, ok? How about we go tell the others? Don't worry, they won't hurt you if you're with me..." I lend my hand out to (Y/n).

     "... Uh... O-ok...".
