The Music Box ( Five Nights At Freddy's 2)

Teddy

*Echo Pov*

*Later That Day*

After Mangle took me back to Jeremy, I acted like I was sick and made him take me home early and far away from the restaurant. But when we started to make our ways to the front doors, I noticed the other animatronics eye's looked much darker then before. They stared at me without moving a muscle, I couldn't help but think this was the Marionettes doing..because their eyes looked just like his now..

When we got home, I told Jeremy I didn't want to ever go back to Freddy's. He looked confused at first, and fought over it. But eventually he caved in, and told me I could stay home from now on. Which I'm extremely thankful for, because I haven't seen Marionette in the last couple days now, and I feel much safer..

But I'm really confused why he wouldn't come after me. You would think someone as possessive as him, would hunt me down. Instead of worrying about it, I have been relaxing at the house alone most of the time. Mom is too busy with her job and Jeremy is always at the restaurant, so it's just me and Teddy!

Sometimes, When I'm alone at night I have a skin crawling feeling of being watched. I told mom about it, she just told me I wasn't use to being alone. When it happens I push Teddy to my face and close my eyes, while pulling up the blankets to my head. I would try and take my mind off of it, but the feeling is too strong..

I sighed and picked up Teddy, he was falling apart and seemed dead like now. Maybe I should of throw him in the washer when I had the chance.. I couldn't do it now, I don't know how to use the washer and mom is at work right now.. Maybe Jeremy?

"Big brother?" I called out from the living room.

"Uh?" He replied, he was in the kitchen making dinner for the both of us.

I hopped up on my feet and let the fuzzy carpet tickle them, before walking in the kitchen and showing Jeremy Teddy.

"Can you wash him?" I asked, while reaching my arms all the way up, just to reach his face..

Jeremy put his hand on his chin, and looked closely at Teddy before gently taking him out of my hands.

"I don't know." He looked kinda worried and confused.

"Why not?"

"He might fall apart in the washer machine, sweetie." He informed me and handed back Teddy..

"I don't care, he smells and I'm pretty sure he will be fine." I smiled, and pushed Teddy back to Him.

He gave me a odd look before carelessly tossing Teddy in the washer and slowly turned it on.

"I'm just saying if he comes out all torn up, don't come crying to me." He said, before closing the washer lid and trapping Teddy in.

"Now it's time to eat." He wiped his hands off his shirt and opened the oven.

I pulled in a set at the table and sat down. It felt kinda awkward not having Teddy on my lap. I tried to shake off the feeling and focus on eating, something I haven't done in awhile, due to my sickness..

"Now, I really want you to eat all that's on your plate, you didn't eat yesterday and woke up in the middle of the night sick!" Jeremy reminded me.

"We don't want that to happen again, now do we?" He looked at me, and I just nodded my head in agreement.

He handed me already cut up chicken with Applesauce on the side.. I took a big spoon full of Applesauce and gulped it down. I love Applesauce, it's so easy to eat and it looks weird! So naturally I didn't hesitate to eat that all first, but when I had to eat the chicken I choked a lot on it. Because of my sickness, I can't eat normal solid food, but the doctors want me to try and eat as much as I can...and its a struggle...

I stopped and put my fork down, I didn't want to eat another bite of this. I felt like I was eating rocks..Jeremy saw me put my fork down, and looked kinda upset with sadness..

"Want me to cut it up in smaller pieces?" He asked, he looked worried for me.

I nodded my head *Yes* and he came over and cut it in smaller pieces, making sure not to leave any big pieces behind.. I looked at the floor and was ashamed of myself, I couldn't eat normal food like my big brother..

"There you go!" He sat the my fork back down on the plate and walk back over to his plate..

I looked at my food with disgust. I suddenly wasn't hungry anymore. It seemed like I was being forced to choke down dirt.. Jeremy must of saw the look on my face, because he let out a sigh..

"Please try and eat." He looked like he had given up on trying to get me to eat.

I haven't eaten anything he has made for the last couple weeks. My throat was really sore and everything I ate started to taste like blood.

I looked at my plate and back at Jeremy, with a long frown on my face. He couldn't possibly force me to eat this right? I didn't touch the chicken for a whole 20 minutes, till he finally gave up..

"Fine.. Just have the rest of the Applesauce." He said with a defeated look on his face.

He gave me more Applesauce and I ate it with a huge smile on my face. Jeremy hanged his head real low when he put my plate in the sink.

"Your losing too much wight, Echo.." He said with sadness in his eyes.

"Your not going to live much longer, if you don't eat right." Jeremy sat down at the table and put his hands over his eyes..

I looked at the floor, feeling horrible about myself..

"Don't you want to stay longer with me??" Jeremy voice started to get louder, making me feel uneasy..

I didn't say anything to him.. I do love him so much! I-I just didn't want to upset him right now and plus I didn't know what to say..

Jeremy grind his teeth together, when I didn't answer back to him.. Tears seems to leak out of his eyes, you could tell he was trying to fight them off..

"It's bed time.." He said in a dark tone..

Without a second thought I scooted off my chair, and Jeremy quickly took off upstairs. He seemed mad with me, so I didn't follow him. Instead I open the washer to get Teddy out......

My heart stopped for what seemed like 10 minutes... Teddy's body was torn apart and nothing but white cotton came pouring out of his body.. I picked his body up and carried it up to my room.More tears seemed to come out, the closer I got to my room.. But I tried to stay quiet so Jeremy wouldn't hear me.

Once I got to my room, I exploded with tears.. I sat on the edge of my bed and snuggled with Teddy and cried in his fur.

"Teddy I'm sorry!" I whispered to him, with tears coming a mile a minute.

I walked over to the other side of the room and put Teddy's torn up body on a chair. He no longer had eyes, ears, and he was even missing a arm... I couldn't look at him, instead I laid back down on my bed and cried inside my pillow and eventually fell asleep...

*Hours later*

I was in a deep and painless sleep, till something odd and strange woke me up.

"Echo" someone cried, "I'm so sorry..Please come back..please.."

The sound of the voice made my ears tickle and made goosebumps go up my arms. I felt something fury and warm in my hands, and couldn't help but snuggle with it. But once I realized what I was doing, I slowly open my eyes....

I was snuggling with Teddy?!? I picked up his new and improved body. It looked like someone stitched up his body and cleaned up his fur, plus replaced his eyes with shiny gold buttons. I couldn't stop the smile spearing across my face, it felt like a friend was brought back from the dead.. I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him so tightly..

But I couldn't help but feel creeped out, someone was in my room and put him on my bed. My first thought was it was Jeremy, but I don't think he knows how to fix toys...

The question ran in my head most of the night, but I still was happy to have Teddy back.
