Cursed (FNAF x reader)

Part 24: promise

I was now back at my female self, looking down with brother beside me just outside the house, ready to welcome dad. I have patches on my cheek and make up on my eye to cover my black eye that the demon gave me. I should've expected he'll only going for business and not family, is that the reason why he doesn't want mom to be together with dad? He probably want mom to just work and not have a family. Stupid uncle. I saw a car pulled in in front and I look up, as well as Jeremy. A man all coloured in purple walked out the said car. Is that him? Why purple? Not that I don't mind but how? I just pushed the thought off as he walked to us, the car driving off.

I looked up at him and he pulled Jeremy and I in an unexpected hug, making us shock. "I miss you guys.." He mumbled. I finally saw my dad...but something else worries me. What if he found out about what happened to mom? Jeremy hugged him back and I just froze in my spot. He seem to notice me and pulls away, looking at me. "Why so quiet, Crystal?" He asked and I went back to reality, tearing up a bit. "M-mom...mom died.." I whimpered. Even though it's been days since she passed away, my thoughts of her wouldn't go away, the hugs, jokes and all, and now she didn't have a chance to see him one last time.

This makes his eyes widen and seems to be in thought before wiping my tears away. "It's alright, dear, let's just go in, shall we?" He asked and I nodded, Jeremy opening the door for us and he walked in, me following behind before bro walking in behind me, closing the door after. Vincent looks around, as if checking if things changed as it is. He then walked up to me, lightly grabbing my chin before removing the patch on my cheek, revealing the bruise. He then wiped the makeup off gently, revealing my black eye. I didn't have any reaction because I already knew he'll see it. "What happened?" He asked rather seriously. My eyes widen and looks away, making him only grab my chin again, pulling my head back to look back at him.

He has a serious look and I have no choice. I sighed. "Uncle. He was shouting at Jeremy earlier and I slapped him. He slapped and punch me and all, of course I fought back before calling the cops." I explained with a shrug. He was quiet for a moment until he let go. "Hm.." He seems deep in thought and I didn't seem to mind. "You two should go get some rest, alright?" He told us and Jeremy and I went upstairs and to our rooms. It just so happens so quickly and confusing too. Uncle closing the pizzeria down, dad coming back from prison. What am I suppose to do now? I suddenly teared up and just cried. I burried my face lo the pillow and cried more. My heart ache for reasons and my mind was full of thought, I don't know which one to choose first and I'm having a headache.

Soon before I could even fall asleep I suddenly heard something from downstairs. I looked up and wipe my tears away. Where's that coming from? I got up and fix myself before slowly opening the door, trying not to bother anyone. I tiptoed downstairs and heard the sound more. Piano? It's a grand piano. Weird. We don't have one at house, unless...I went to the door that was nearly covered by caninets but it was pushed on the way, and the door was slightly opened. Who's in there? I walked up to the said door and opened it, peeking in to see stairs that leads to the basement. Why mom didn't tell us about this? And from here, I can hear the piano more. It actually sounds like a lullaby and it sounded familiar...back then when I was a kid. I tiptoed downstairs and when I reach the last step, the person who's playing the piano shock me the most.

It was dad, playing the piano so damn gracefully, as if his fingers just glides to the piano keys, his back was turned to me. I just stood there, listening the very familiar song he was playing. It then struck me. It was the lullaby mom sings at me when there's a thunderstorm, or me having a nightmare. He finished although he started playing it again from the beginning, probably knowing I'm just behind him so I took a deep breath, singing the song quietly. "Make my wish come true, let darkness fade to light.." I started but then he joined. "Show me there's still hope, show me it's not over." His voice was smooth, as if he's imagining he's singing it with mom. "Battles we can win, our struggle lies within." We sang and I slowly walked up to him until I was beside him, but then I sat down next to him.

"Will we live to greet the dawn?" I started tearing up at this. Dad probably used to sing this with mom when I'm little but then she's not here anymore. To greet the dawn..like in the song.. "Love will not leave you, hate will not heal you." I sang as he continue playing, he didn't join this time which confused me. The next thing I knew he stopped playing, but instead he pulled me into a tight hug, stroking my hair gently. I teared up more and hugged him back, with that he sang the last sentence by himself.

"Promise me one day that peace shall reign."
