Chapter 12: Ghostly Friends

The night finish and the day began; as for me, crying in a ball for two hours straight. I felt a tap on my head, but I didn't bother to look up; I felt too worthless to even be seen by whoever was there. "... Emily, it's me... Puppet..." The voice said. I looked up and saw a boy. A young one; way younger than me, with purple tears that ran to his mouth, rosy red cheeks and, very pale skin; was it really him? He looked like Puppet but, he was a ghost, it couldn't be him. Could it? I asked myself. Before I could ask, Puppet spoke, "... It's true... I may not look like the Puppet you know and love but... I am the ghost that haunts that toy Puppet... Please believe me Emily... Please believe me..." He pleaded, it was him.

My eyes changed from the sad blue, back to my emerald green. I gave Puppet a soft sigh and a small smile as I grabbed him in for a hug. I was crying again as he hugged me back, in acceptances, "... I... I believe you..." I sobbed. He gave a soft laugh as he let go from the hug but, still holding my hand, "... You... You have completely changed since the last time I saw you..." He said. I started to wipe my tears, "... Yeah, it's been years old friend... I... I never thought I would hear your voice again... Your wonderful, wonderful voice..." I said tearfully yet with joy. He chuckled again. "... Come on... The others want to meet you..." he said, leading me to the door. Wait, there are others?

He stopped at the closed door and turned to me, "... Ladies first..." He said, stepping aside. I tiled my head in confusion, "... How...? It's a solid, lock do--..." My voice drifted when I realized what I could do, "... Wait one darn minute...! I'm a ghost now...! That means I can do...!" I backed up for a run up, "... This...!" I ran towards and jump through it. When I got to the other side, I quickly ran back in, "... What happened...? Did you see the Purple Guy...?" Puppet asked. I turned to Puppet and replied, "... A. There was a ton of people out there and I didn't want to be seen. And B. Who's Purple Guy...?" Puppet tilted his head but then straighten it as if he figured something out, "... Oh well... Purple Guy is Vincent... The person..." I cut him off, "... who killed off five children... Aw great...! I am blood related with the Purple Guy...!" I crossed my arm and turned away from Puppet. I was too upset to even face him. I felt his hand on my shoulder, "... Hey... It will be fine... Come on... The others are waiting." He said. I nodded and followed him out of the room.

I saw many people, kids and adults alike. I was nervous at first but, I came to realize that they couldn't see us, "... Wow... I can imagen having no notice you for so many years..." I said to Puppet. Puppet chuckled a little, "... Well, it does get kind of lonely, wondering at night and only sometimes during the day... But once you get used to it and you have friends, it's not all that bad..." I smiled as we traveled from the back room to the stage. When we got there, Freddy and his friends just finished their song and headed back stage. I followed Puppet back stage as well.

We watched some people put all four in these charging spots. Once they left, four ghostly beings came out of the suits. They all started to stretch and yawn, "... Man that song lasted longer than expected..." Said the girl ghost who came out of Chica, "... You're telling me... My arms are tired..." Said the boy ghost who came out of Bonnie, "... Hey guys, I just came up with a pirate joke..." Said the boy who came out of Foxy, "... Then spill it..." Said the boy who came out of Freddy. The boy who came out of Foxy, who I identified as Jake said, "... Ok ok, why is pirating so addictive...?" "... Why...?" We all asked. Jake giggled, "... Because they say, once ye lose yer first hand, ye get hooked...! Hahahaha...!" Everyone groaned except for me. I was laughing my head off.

"... Anyways, before that horrible joke, I was going to introduce you all to Emily..." Puppet said. I just waved to all of them, "... Hi Emily...!" They all said in unison. I noticed that they looked like they were all around the ages of 7-9. And that made me feel bad; their lives were cut so short. But I remained happy; didn't want to ruin my first impression, "... Emily, this is April, Simon, Jake, who you already met, and..." Puppet stopped and giggled to himself, "... What...?" Asked the remaining boy. April, Simon and Jake started to giggle too. Eventually, they broke out laughing, "... What...!" he yelled out, "... Oh... Haha... Very funny you guys... Just because my name is very ironic, doesn't mean you can laugh up a storm..." I was confused but I then put the pieces together, "... Ummm... Is your name Freddy...?" The boy glared at me, "... What was your first guess...?"

After what felt like a good 20 minutes of getting to know them, I heard fewer and fewer footsteps outside, "Um, guys... Do you hear that...?" Everyone started to say things like, "Nope.", "Nothing.", "No really." Puppet broken out asking, "... What do you hear Emily...?" I listened carefully; mostly silence but then footsteps, of people leaving, "... Oh my gosh... There're closing down the building...!" Freddy began to laugh, "... Who cares...! We needed a break anyways... The toys can take over..." "... Yeah..." April added, "... I mean, we are going the new location, right...?" Puppet had an expression where he had just realized something, "... We might... But Emily... she doesn't have a suit..." Everyone became very worried, turning to each other to confirm the truth, "... I guess you're trapped here..."Said Jake, looking very sad. I scoffed, "...Ha...! That's what my killer thinks... I'll go anywhere my new animatronic goes...!"

"... New animatronic...!" They all exclaim. I merely smiled and felt my eyes change to a happy yellow. I floated over to the back door, floating through it to confirm my question, is she still here? I saw the new animatronics, just like from my memory. They all were neatly lined up; in front of crates the size of them. Toy Freddy, Toy Bonnie, Toy Chica, Toy Foxy, Balloon Boy, all of them. Though, I couldn't see a Puppet anywhere, "... They already packed my animatronic..." Puppet said while pointing at crate that was labeled "The Puppet". I looked over to the left and saw her, my animatronic that I built for the new pizzeria: a brown dog/foxlike creatures from a video game. I floated over to her o I was eye to eye. Everyone knew what I was about to do. I could hear footsteps coming to the room, "Everyone...! Possess your animatronics...!" I yelled to them. They all nodded and went to their animatronics. Before Puppet when to his animatronic, he stopped and looked at me with a smile. I nodded and smiled back. I reached my hand out to the animatronic,

"From now on, I shall be known as... Amber the Eevee animatronic...!"

The End
