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

Chapter Eight

(Our New Addition)

  -(Y/n)'s Pov.-

    I hesitantly grab onto CB's hand, it's oddly somewhat warm. I look down as we started to walk out of the closet. I'm terrified, what if she's lying? What if she kills me instead? I can feel my legs shaking with each step. I look up slightly, CB was looking over at me. I look down quickly as I nervously gulp.

    "There is no need to be scared (Y/n). Although I do understand, I promise that they won't hurt you." She stopped a few feet away from the opening of the hallway.

    "..." She turns around, getting down on her knees to match my size.

    "(Y/n), do you not trust me?" I look away...

    "... I just met you... How am I supposed to trust you?" I hear her sigh.

    "I suppose that's true, but let me gain your trust. I won't let them hurt you.".

    "... What if you hurt me?" I notice her flinch.

    "... I don't want to hurt anyone..." I look away.

    "Circus Baby, who are you talking to?" We both flinch, me more so than her.

    "I'm talking to our guest and our new addition!" New addition?

    Circus Baby stands up, taking hold of my hand. We walk out into the main area, where Funtime Foxy was sitting. Their eyes widened as they meet my gaze. They look over at Circus Baby, giving her a pissed off look.

    "Our new addition? You can't possibly be talking about THAT DISGUSTING CHILD, are you?" Their words cut deeply into me.

    "Foxy! That's no way to speak about our guest!" They snarled as they looked over at me.

    I quickly look down, trying to keep a neutral expression.

    "Sorry that I'm not jumping for joy because of our new 'guest'. But you can't be serious, letting a human stay here alive, who knows how long it'll take for that child to attack one of us!".

    "Foxy, she isn't going to hurt any of us.".

    "How do you know that?! For all we know, that child is just trying to get on your good side, so when you least expect it, it can attack!" The room fell into silence.

    We all turned our attention to the stairs once metal footsteps started to make a sound. Soon after, Ballora and Funtime Freddy appeared. Their focus was quickly on me, then Circus Baby.

    "What is the human doing down here?".

     "OH!!! BOSS MUST HAVE CAUGHT THEM, SO THEN WE WOULD EASILY BE ABLE TO KILL THE LITTLE TEEN!!! JUST LIKE-".

    "NO! No one is going to kill this human!" I let go of CB's hand and back away a little.

    "Ah-... (Y/n), I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-".

    "Wait! You even know her name? Baby, how long have you known of her?".

    "Since-".

    "That doesn't matter right now! What matters is that she doesn't want this human dead! Don't you all remember what happened last time we, or better said, SHE trusted a human, they attacked us!" I look away from them, clearly not ok with the conversation.

    "YEAH, WHY SHOULD WE NOT KILL HER RIGHT NOW?! BEFORE SHE TRIES ANYTHING!".

    "I agree with Freddy! We should get rid of the pesky human before the little rat tries to hurt us!" I'm not...

    "Exactly, Baby, although we would usually follow your orders, we believe that's not the right thing to do this time around." I'm not going to...

    "No! I order you all to stand down! If you fail to follow my orders, I will s-" I step in front of CB, clenching my fists tightly.

    "I'm not going to hurt any of you! Not all humans are the same, so just because some humans did or attempted to hurt you doesn't mean I will!".

    I suddenly freeze up once I realized all their eyes were on me. I go back to my nervous and fearful expression as the four who want to kill me glare daggers into me. Circus Baby picks me up, causing me to jump.

    "None of you will be killing or attempting to execute (Y/n), that's an order if you disobey this order..." She looks over at me before covering my ears.

    Whatever she said must have been terrifying since the others gave expressions full of fear, I'm assuming by their body language. CB uncovered my ears, looking down at me with her friendly smile.

    "Now that everything has settled down, why don't we all call it a day, it's almost six anyway." Foxy crossed their arms, letting out a low growl.

    "Whatever...".

    "I suppose...".

    "S-SURE..." The small bunny nodded in agreement with her counterpart.

    Circus Baby nods, walking out with me in her arms.

    "H-hey Circus Baby, where a-are we going?" I want to be set down.

    "I'm taking you to my room; there is a sofa for you to sleep on." What?!

    "B-but I h-have a place to s-sleep already! It's on the u-uppe-" She sets me down on the sofa.

    "I'm worried HE might attack you. HE has no way of getting down here, so you're safer down here." I bring my knees up to my chest.

    "... A-am I really s-safe down h-here? Your 'f-friends' want to hurt... k-kill me... I s-somehow feel sa-... safer up there than d-down here." Her eyes glow dimly, did I hurt her feelings?

    "... I-" She lifts her hand.

    "It's ok. I agree with you entirely. If you feel unsafe down here, you could always go back up." Circus Baby stood up and walked over to the doorway.

    "... S-sorry... I didn't mean to hurt your feelings..." I mumbled as she walked out of the room, leaving me with my unpleasant thoughts.
