(Y/N)'s POV

I quickly turned and moved away from Nightmarionne with widened eyes, "No way, you're just joking with me, right?" Nightmarionne's cackle echoed in the room, which only made me wish I could be with my family at the moment, "Usually dark humor is my favorite, but I couldn't be more delighted to tell you the truth." So weird.

"And that's because...?" I trailed on. I'm guessing teasing me for answers is its way of enjoying my constant anxiety.

"Why, Heaven of course! What kind of child wouldn't dream of going to such a holy place!?" Nightmarionne stretched out its hands with a huge grin on its face. "Heaven, huh?" I muttered looking at Little Me. It would be nice, I mean everyone wants to go to Heaven after they die. Hell is monstrous, full of constant suffering, a reminder to all mortals to repent, something like that.

"I wanted you to be aware of your condition here in the mortal realm, you will have two choices." Nightmarionne lifted both his hands up and two doors appeared before me. One door was pure white with gold markings to cover the wooden entryway. The other one, black with blood red markings all around it. "One door will lead to Heaven, and the other, the realm you've been calling home."

I frowned and looked between the two, "What about Hell? Are you saying the Nightmare Realm is Hell or am I missing something here?" "Inquisitive are we?" Nightmarionne raised an eyebrow, if it had any really. "Just wanna know who I'm working with here, Grand Pappy has put you down as a threat from what I've heard." I crossed my arms.

"You can't trust everything the old bear says, did he not hide this from you?" "Grand Pappy always has his reasons, which turn out to be good." I defended Nightmare, I didn't care if he kept this a secret, he and everyone else had treated me well and with all the love I could ever wish for.

Its eyes rolled and gestured to the two doors, "You've done nothing wrong to be sent to such an awful place. You have a choice of which door to enter through. You are technically a spirit." I tipped my head to the side, trying to understand all this info.

"So, what you're saying is that in three hours in mortal time, I will permanently die, and what I've been currently living by is just my spirit growing within the Nightmare Realm. Now, I have two choices, ascend up to heaven, or stay living in the Nightmare Realm." The whole time I was speaking Nightmarionne was nodding along with what I was told. "Can't I just go back to the Nightmare Realm to think about it? I mean, time is longer there." I pointed out. "I'm afraid not, you'll have to make a decision now." Nightmarionne casually said.

What kind of loophole is that? Even JR would clearly know that and he loves reading books!

I crossed my arms while glaring at the Nightmarionne, "Well that isn't a choice you get to make, take me back to my family right now. I want to speak with Nightmare and the others." When Nightmarionne didn't move I scoffed, "Fine, I'll do it myself!"

I walked over to the door that led me back to the Nightmare Realm, only to be stopped forcibly by one of Nightmarionne's long hands.

"Hey! Let go of me!"

"Let me make this easier for you, child. Why go back to a false family when you could move on to Heaven? There, you will eventually reunite with your real family. You could live a happier life, full of brightness and no fear for the unknown. No more pain, no more looking behind your back. Isn't that all what you could ever wish for?"

Something snapped inside me, any sort of struggling was frozen.

That does sound better, right? I remembered always wanting to go somewhere like Heaven. When Luke would tease and bully me, my parents were always worrying about me. I remember praying for a safe place for me to live in, so Heaven should be on my top list. It would be nice, living in such a place of comfort while waiting for everyone else to finish up with their lives, hearing about how they lived and what they wished they could have done differently from time to time.

So why is it hard for me to make a decision? I want to be with my family in the future, right?

"Ye have us, and ye will always be special to us."

That's right, Luke and my parents weren't my real family. It had always been the Nightmares. They've cared for me, accepted me, they've adopted me and I have never been so much happier to be with them.

I'm not going to Heaven, not now, and I don't think I ever want to.

"I don't think you've heard me correctly..." I leaned close to Nightmarionne's face, "I want to go back to my family, right now."

Nightmarionne at first seemed taken aback from my words, but that quickly changed when its grin became sick and its head was thrown back with laughter.

"What was that?"

"That came from Patient F24's room!"

I could hear voices from nurses as footsteps started to approach Little Me's room.

I tried to struggle out of Nightmarionne's grasp but it held onto me tightly and held up a finger to my lips, silencing me, "You should have listened, child. How about I make you a deal?"

The footsteps were getting closer, causing me to panic, what if they see this? Could they see us?

Suddenly Nightmarionne's hand covered my eyes, leaving only darkness, and when they were removed, I wasn't in the hospital room anymore. I was surrounded by pitch blackness, blood red strings hanging all around me. Nightmarionne was nowhere to be seen.

I felt a sharp pain in my chest around and lifted up my shirt to reveal a heart shaped clock, where my original heart should be. It was 8:58pm.

"Let's play a game, I know you just love them." Nightmarionne's voice came out in echoes, it was loud, and an outing to the point where I almost wanted to cover my ears.

"Let's play Hide and Seek, if you can find me within your last three hours, I will let you go back to your Nightmare family. If time runs out, and you don't find me, you will go on to Heaven. I took away all your Nightmare abilities so you can't cheat."

I looked at myself, it was right. My metallic skin, the wings, tail, anything that made me look like a Nightmare was gone, replaced with flesh. I was fully human. I quickly checked my neck and was relieved to still have the necklace GrandPappy gave me.

"I will grant you two items of your choice to carry, make a wise choice, the game shall begin...now."

The red strings started to vibrate, moving to form three different shapes. Each shape brightened up in red before showing me different rooms. One shape, revealed the hallway Plushtrap used to sit in. Another room, the doors that led to my closet, where Nightmare Foxy used to hide. Lastly, the party room...where it all started.

So, I have to find the nightmare puppet in three hours. What could I possibly need to find it?

I closed my eyes and tried to remember what memories I needed to help me find this damn thing.

That's when they appeared.

I opened my eyes and saw in one hand a flashlight, and the other the Fredbear plush.

My head started to hurt once again, but I tried to shake it off and held my plush close to me.

I have to do this, for my Nightmare family, for everything they've ever done for me.

I first, decided to search for the puppet by entering inside the shape that led to the hallway. It was dark, nothing could be heard except a dog barking and the wind blowing against the trees outside. I quickly turned on my flashlight, shining it around the hallway. I was starting to feel a huge sense of deja-vu from it all. Even the fear I once felt as a child started to grow, and I wished I had my family here with me.

That is until a familiar tiny voice spoke.

"Don't be scared. I am here with you."
