Chapter 12: Chase

                                    

                                          
"I'm telling ye this is NOT Freddy!!!"
Balloon Boy enters the office.
" - Hey BB! Have you seen the nightguard? Toy Bonnie asks.
- No, I'm only here for his/her/their sweet, succulent, AA batteries.
- Oh my God why am I the only one here knowing the truth?! Alrighty then, where's Freddy? FREDDY!!"
Withered Freddy shows up.
" - Yes?
- Ah, there you are, Freddy! Can you confirm this is the nightguard? Withered Foxy asks, pointing his hook in your direction.
- No, that's Freddy.
- YOU ARE FREDDY!
- Well, I guess I have a twin.
- I HATE YE ALL!!"
You hear the music box melody, indicating that you should have wound it up.
"Oh no... OH NO..."
At the same time, the fox removes your mask with his hook.
"HE/SHE/THEY  IS/ARE THE NIGHTGUARD!!"
You look at them, terrified.
" - The nightguard!
- That's him/her/them!
- Batteries!!"
They step closer to the desk, staring at you, while Withered Bonnie stays in the back. You shriek in fear and quickly bypass them. Your robotic friend looks at you.
"F̵o̷l̶l̶o̵-̷o̶w̵ ̶m̴e̶-̸e̴!̸"
You nod and run away with him, heading towards a party room. You quickly shut the door behind Bonnie and stay close to him, panicked.
"D̵-̷d̵o̶n̴'̶t̴ ̷b̴e̸-̷e̷ ̴a̶f̷r̷a̸i̵-̶a̵i̴d̵,̵ ̷I̵-̸I̶ ̶w̵i̷-̸i̶l̷l̶ ̵k̶e̸-̶e̵p̷ ̸y̴o̵u̴-̸o̶u̵ ̶s̷a̶-̴a̶f̵e̸.̵"
You hide under a table, praying for your life. The door is violently opened and Withered Freddy steps inside.
" - Where is the nightguard, Bonnie?
- H̴o̶-̵o̴w̸ ̷o̴-̴o̸n̶ ̶E̷a̵-̸a̸r̸t̴h̸ ̸s̵h̶o̷u̶-̵o̵u̸l̸d̴ ̴I̸-̴I̴ ̶k̷n̴o̶-̶o̷w̷?̷
- Because you've just entered this room with him/her/them."
The brown feet get closer to the table. You start breathing sharply.
"Is/Are she/he/they hiding there?"
The bear lifts up the dining table and looks down at you.
"There you are!"
Bonnie hits him in the head with another table, causing him to lose balance and collapse onto the floor.
"L̵e̴-̸e̵t̷'̸s̵ ̷g̶o̸-̷o̸!̸"
You stand up and run towards the Parts & Services room, then lock the door.
"A̶-̸a̶t̴ ̸l̵e̶a̷-̵e̶a̸s̷t̶ ̴w̸e̴'̷l̷l̸ ̴b̷e̴-̸e̵-̴e̴ ̴s̷a̷-̸a̵f̷e̷ ̸h̴e̶-̴e̸r̴e̸.̷.̶.̶"
However, you hear mechanical sounds coming from behind you. You turn back and see Withered Chica staring down at you.
" - Huh... Bonnie?
- Y̶a̶-̴a̵s̸?̵
- I don't think we are safe..."
He turns back and looks at the yellow chicken.
