Sister.. Location? (Novel/Story Fanfic)

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

I walk to the entrance. I never really noticed the sign. Circus Baby's Pizza World. I enter the door and there is the door to the elevator. I enter the elevator.

"Welcome back for another night of intellectual stimulation, pivotal career choices and self-reflection on past mistakes. We're committed to creating a unique and fulfilling work experience. One part of that commitment is ensure that you don't get tired of the voice that you're hearing right now."

Yeah, he got that right.

"Using the keypad below, please select a new companion voice. For male, press 1. For female, press 2. For text-only, press 3. For other options, press 4."

"It seems that you had some trouble with the keypad. I see what you were trying to type, and I will auto-correct it for you. thank you for choosing:"

Oh god

"Angsty teen"

I hate life.

"Now you can crawl through the vent or whatever."

I crawled through the vent and he says something as I am crawling.

"Funny story. A dead body was found in this vent before. That isn't funny... but it's a story."

I crawl out of the vent and I check on Ballora. Of course, she isn't wanting to move.

"It seems Ballora isn't working. Let's zap her."

I "zap" her and he is trying to say something. But as he says something, it just gets muffled. After a minute he starts talking again.

"There seems to have been a problem with the voice synthesiser. Default settings have been restored. Please proceed through the vent ahead of you to Circus Baby's Auditorium."

I crawl through the vent. And I just crawl for a few minutes. The. I get into the control room.

"Circus Baby had a busy day today! Let's check the light, and make sure she's in proper working order."

I press the light button. She isn't there. What the hell?

"Oh Circus Baby, we aren't here to play hide and seek. Let's encourage baby to come out of hiding with a controlled shock."

Can't you say please? I press the shock button.

"Let's try another controlled shock."

I press the button.

"There seems to be a power malfunction that is affecting our ability to properly motivate Baby. Please stand by, while I reboot the system. I will be offline momentarily during this process. Various other systems may be offline as well, such as security doors, vent locks and oxygen. Commencing system restart."

Then the next part is a blur of weirdness. Baby starts talking to me.
"I don't recognize you. You are new. I remember this... scenario however. It's a strange thing to want to do, to come here. I'm curious what events would lead a person to want to spend their nights in a place like this... willingly. Maybe curiosity, maybe ignorance..."

That little... she killed my daughter. Ate her. Destroyed her.

"There is a space under the desk. Someone before you crafted it into a hiding place... and it worked for him. I recommend that you hurry though. You will be safe there, just try not to make eye contact... it will be over soon. They will lose interest."

What does she know? She knows nothing except to kill.

Then there are sounds.

"Ballora will not return to her stage anymore. She will catch you. The power will be restored shortly. When you crawl through Ballora Gallery, go slowly. She cannot see you and can only listen for your movement. When you hear her music become louder, she is growing near, listening for you. Wait, and be still."

Baby then stops and I hear sounds of rattling bars.

"Hello. Anyone there?"

It was a child's voice.

"I see you"

There was an eye looking through one of the holes of the cover. I looked away. Then the cover started moving. I was holding it back. Then after a while of struggling, it stopped.

Then after a few seconds, the eyes are back. They are watching me. The door does the same thing. It keeps opening, and then I am able to close it again.

"She's watching us!"

"We have to leave now!"

"We'll see you again soon."

Baby starts talking again.

"When your "guide" comes back online, he is going to tell you that he was unsuccessful, that you must restart the system manually. Ballora will not return to her stage anymore. She will catch you. The power will be restored shortly. When you crawl through Ballora Gallery, go slowly. She cannot see you and can only listen for your movement. When you hear her music become louder, she is growing near, listening for you. Wait, and be still."

I wait a bit and then.

"Thank you for your patience. it seems that the power system cannot be restarted automatically. You will need to restart the power system manually. Please return to the primary control module."

Oh no. I crawl back to the primary control module.

"You will now be required to crawl through the Ballora Gallery using the vent to your left to reach the Breaker Room. It is recommended that you stay low to the ground, and reach the other side as fast as possible so to not disturb Ballora. I will deactivate myself momentarily, as to not create an auditory disturbance. Deactivating."

I go into Ballora Gallery. It isn't as bad as I thought. I heard Ballora in the background. Her music playing. I kept crawling, stopping every few seconds. Then Ballora was in front of me, spinning, the music going along with her.

I stopped. She left.

"It seems you are taking a long time. Please proceed as quickly and as quietly as possible."

That bastard. He was going to get me killed.

But I was so close to the door. Then I finally reached it.

She was right.
