Have a nice read ♡♡♡
The main character is in a terrible mood today. It couldn't be worse. Friday, which was the best for the girl's classmates and Friday, which was the worst day of her life. Aline already thought that the harassment would never start again, as it used to be, six months ago. Richmond never really had any friends.… But at least she wasn't poisoned until tonight. Yes, today her classmate, a girl from a wealthy family of a famous deputy, Rina, somehow found out that Aline moonlights as a night guard in an abandoned building that is intended for renting premises. She told everyone in the course about it. Someone didn't care and it was quickly forgotten, and the former bullers went back to their old ways. "Is this her future profession?" or "You're so worthless that you only have to guard the garbage." "The guard? Seriously? A beggar." Sure. After all, Rina never needs money with rich suitors and parents, so she has never worked in her life. What else could her accomplices have figured out how to take on what they had done before? Beat up Richmond and tell her things you can't say a damn thing. For what? Why? What did she do to them? The blonde did not understand such an act. Rina was always jealous of the girl because she studied better, looked slimmer and was just a better person. Now Richmond is stomping home in a dirty and torn raincoat, covered in bruises and abrasions. It seems that adults are all already… Institute, not sixth grade. Why are her classmates acting like children? And after all, the parents are not around… They're in another city. There is no one to lay out the essence of the problem, no one to tell, no one to ask for help... To bandage wounds, treat abrasions and cover up bruises with concealer, wash coats… Now we need to do this. It's also raining outside… As luck would have it. And tomorrow I have to go to work… For a damn job that brought so many problems a month later... now at least there was enough money for new clothes, but it wasn't worth it. The student comes home, throws her bag on the hallway floor and, taking off her coat, she throws it there as well. He goes to the kitchen, takes a cold can of soda and applies it to the bruise on his cheek. It's been so long since she's done this. Elaine is afraid of what will happen on Monday. What can you expect from these monsters? You need to write an essay on economics and go to bed early so that you don't fall asleep at work again tomorrow. But you also have to deal with the coat that the girl's parents bought. She treasured this thing very much.…
***
Having covered all the bruises with foundation, the girl put on a lilac raincoat and took the bag. After looking at her bruise in the mirror and sighing heavily, she left the apartment. The coat was still drying, bruises and marks from abrasions were still visible on the blonde's body. Richmond went to work hoping that at least there she would just rest her feelings. She was tormented by a question… How did Rina find out that Aline works there? Although, it doesn't matter anymore… What happened happened. It was about twelve and a half in the morning. The girl doesn't care that she's late. I washed my coat all day, sewed it up, and then sewed up my bag. The blonde goes inside the building. She doesn't want anything. She quietly walks up to the nearest wall, pushes aside the mannequin with the bear costume and rolls down the wall with her back, throwing the bag on the floor. Clutching her knees to herself, she tries to hold back tears. She thinks about how pathetic she is that she can't stand up for herself at nineteen.
— I thought you wouldn't come... I gave myself a joyful hope for this ... - she heard a hoarse male voice again.
The girl did not answer anything, but just sat silently on the cold tile. Burying her face in her lap, she began to cry softly.
— Hey... Aline? The animatronic asks worriedly, peering around the corner.
— Are you crying? Glad to see you like this..." he grins.
— Springtrap, leave me alone… Please..." she says softly, trying not to show that she is crying.
The monster thought about it.
— I see. If you called me by name, then everything is clearly not okay..." he said and walked out from behind the wall.
The blonde wasn't looking at him.
"Go away, I beg you..." she whispered softly.
The animatronic slowly approached the girl. He became interested in the reason for his sworn girlfriend's sadness.
— Has something happened? "What is it?" he asked, taking a step forward.
She is silent. He doesn't say anything. He shouldn't care about her problems.
—Go away..." breaks from Elaine's lips.
The big-eared muzzle expresses obvious longing and sadness, despite his eternal smile.
"I won't leave because..." he replies.
— Go away, Springtrap! Go away! Go away! She shouts, raising her head at the animatronic and wiping away new tears that are running down her cheeks.
She buried her face in her lap again and began to sob. The animatronic began to creak metal and quite loudly approached the girl, he sat down next to her. He sat down on the floor and looked at the crying woman. And some kind of animal longing poured out of his callous soul... the cruel and evil rabbit wanted to help the girl, comfort her... Something trembled in the dead heart, which had long been pierced by iron bars.
— I'm not gentle, but tell me… I'll try to understand you..." he said softly, looking at the blonde.
—No..." she whispers, sobbing.
The animatronic sighs heavily.
- why? Don't you trust me? - the hare asks, without taking his eyes off the poor thing.
The only answer to this question is a quiet "uh-huh."
— Okay.… Then I'll tell you about myself.… Maybe you can tell me something at least..." the monster began.
— I had a family… Three children… I loved my daughter, I loved my youngest son, I raised the eldest... the sinful soul wanted to gain immortality… I did a very nasty thing.… And I'm still paying for it.… First the youngest daughter died, then the youngest son, then myself… The eldest son is unknown where... Michael… I would like to return them... not to do what I did.… Never..." he said slowly.
It was like a fictional story in the genre of mysticism.
"What did you do?" The girl looked up at the animatronic with tear-stained eyes.
He paused and looked away.
"I killed a lot of children in order to get the rest of their souls and become immortal..." the big—eared man replied with a certain desperation in his voice.
Aline blinked.
"What a horror..." she whispered.
— I was like you… Also a human being… But now I'm not who I was at all.… Even in my feelings... yes, I retained my memories, but not my personality... only the soul that now languishes in this damn suit..." the monster was clearly unhappy with his fate.
— How did you become like this? - a question followed, which did not keep me waiting for an answer.
— Got into an animatronic costume to hide from his madness… And then the springs came off and I was crushed right in it… Do you know how predatory they were digging into my body… They crushed me… I thought I'd be saved... but... now I'm nothing more than a mangy, old, rotten rabbit who still carries the remains of human flesh inside himself..." said the animatronic.
It all scared Richmond and made her feel disgusted by these events.
— Ugh... it's a nasty story… You're cruel… Very violent… How can children be killed? - the girl reasoned, having stopped crying.
— I know… This was once my pizzeria and it was here that my first victims were… And now it's just a dump… And I'm the trash that still rules this dump..." the hare replied, pretending to chuckle.
— Freddy Fazber's pizzeria? - the question was not a question.
Big-eared was surprised by this.
— How do you know? - the animatronic asked, looking at the employee in surprise.
She just looked away at the chessboard.
"I read about the closure..." she replied.
But now it was important for the monster to find out about the problem of the object of its own irritation.
— Can you tell me about your trouble? - he asked.
Richmond paused, wiped away her tears, and decided that she could trust him with this. He's not going to laugh about it, is he?
— I'm being bullied again. My classmates found out that I work here as a security guard. A girl from a rich family who studies with me told everyone about it… I do not know how she found out.… I don't know... - said Aline.
"A spoiled whore..." the animatronic hissed viciously.
— A bruise on the face... - Springtrap touched the girl's cheek with a claw.
— They beat me... now I'm going to walk like this ... -Aline put her hands on her knees, leaning her head on her hands.
The monster did not understand why the blonde person did not tell anyone about this.
"Why won't you tell anyone?" The police? Parents? "What is it?" he asked.
— My parents are in another city. And I used to be bullied too, just like that… I contacted the police after the beating, but they didn't do anything about it.… Just one phrase that I remember... "We will do our best."The guard quoted.
Springtrap grunted, wanting to defuse the situation and cheer up his... girlfriend?
— I would skin them all… I would skin their fresh meat... eat their kidneys for dinner, and leave their eyes for breakfast... slowly take a bite out of them… I would have enjoyed their screams… I would drink their fresh blood... greedily tear them apart, tearing off their limbs... what a pleasure it would be..." he said hoarsely and viciously, while a terrible smile reigned on his face.
Aline smiled a little.
—Too much..." she said and glanced in the direction of the animatronic.
He just smiled back.
— Come on ... you like it ... - the big-eared one replied, wanting to cheer up the guard.
Richmond turns his head towards the animatronic. She looks at him mysteriously and with a smile.
- what? Why are you staring so sweetly? Where is your hatred in your eyes? Where is our Aline? - the hare asks calmly.
The girl giggled softly and laid her head back on her arms.
— Tell me something… I'm tired of being bored, crying and suffering..." the student suggested.
Springtrap thought about it.
— About what? "What is it?" he asked.
— Well... - the blonde pulled.
— For example… About Freddie Fazber's Pizzeria..." Richmond replied.
— I don't like to remember it.… Terrible times..." the animatronic sighed heavily and changed his face for just a second.
— I'm sorry ... - the girl apologized and straightened her bangs.
— So… We've been talking too much, Springtrap..." she gets up from the floor and shakes off her raincoat.
The monster is grinning.
—M... you called me by my name..." he says with a certain mystery.
Aline is looking for excuses, trying to pretend that she still hates this creature so much.
—Um... by chance, a monster..." she stammers.
— M... accidentally ... - the animatronic pulls.
—How..." he chuckles.
Richmond turns to face the seated man and makes a serious look.
— What are you implying? Richmond asks reproachfully.
— No, it's not… No matter what ... - the hare answers with a laugh, looking away at the floor.
"Don't think I like you."… I hate you..." the girl says with a grin and goes into the office, taking her bag with her.
—I love you too..." he whispered and stood up after her, knowing full well that this was not the case.
He was much taller than the girl. The animatronic was almost the size of this doorway, and she didn't reach it "a little bit".
— I see a change in your mood ... - says Springtrap, coming in after the girl.
— It's just… As strange as it may sound… But..." it was hard for the blonde to say that.
— I just found someone who could listen to me and support me ... - she turned to the monster and smiled sincerely.
The big-eared one seemed embarrassed, even though it was unusual for him.
"It's been so long since I've done my rounds!" God! You fool! I forgot..." the employee gasped, berating herself for her irresponsibility.
Springtrap smiled.
"You're not such a fool..." he whispered.
Aline looked at the animatronic questioningly and arched an eyebrow in the same way. He just stared at the floor.
"Let's go then..." he suggested.
Richmond thought about it.
— Yes, let's go… There's nothing else to do here anyway..." the girl replied and left the office, followed by the animatronic.
Two people were walking along the corridors. Aline looked at the cameras and studied the paths.
— Why do you need this nonsense if you have me? Big-eared asks, following the guard.
She stops.
— good. You lead then. Come on, Springtrap.- says the girl with a grin.
He just shrugs and continues on his way to the main hall. It is very dark there and children's drawings are everywhere, which have already faded and lost their brightness due to the antiquity of this building.
—Springtrap..." Richmond called softly.
— Huh? He looked questioningly at the employee.
She tried not to look at him, so that he would not stop walking.
— When I first saw you, at the end of our meeting, I had a hallucination of a strange bear with a top hat on his head and white pupils ... - the girl began.
— What could it be? - She asks.
The animatronic just makes a strange gesture with his hand. The ghostly bear appears behind the blonde.
— Did you call me, boss? - he asks loudly, holding a microphone in his hands.
Richmond gets scared and jumps aside with a loud squeal.
— This is Freddy's Phantom… Don't be afraid of him… He doesn't do anything.… Just a ghost..." Springtrap explained, looking at the frightened Aline.
— Freddy, don't scare her anymore.… She's a sensitive person here... - the animatronic looks at the guard, and then at Freddy.
The phantom nodded and disappeared into thin air.
— Don't scare me like that anymore! - the blonde shouts.
Springtrap laughs.
— And it's not me… This is Freddie. He scared you, didn't he?Big-eared replied.
"You called him," Elaine whispered.
"I saw him then..." she said.
The animatronic was standing motionless, and he would like to move even when Richmond was looking at him.
— I called him that time to distract you from yourself and get out ... - confessed the hare.
The employee just shivered.
— Are we moving on? The monster asks.
The student nods timidly and they continue their rounds. Yes, Aline could meet a lot of devilry here, but definitely not the devilry she could get closer to. With a dead man in a rabbit costume who once killed innocent children a long time ago… What's wrong with Miss Richmond? What's wrong with this green animatronic now? He doesn't feel that hatred anymore and it's very strange.… His task is to scare the guard, and not to spend all his night time with her.
