Michael Afton's P.O.V


"Take a right," instructed Helpy. I did as he requested and took a right at the upcoming turn and headed down that way. "And to think this world has everything. Imagine we could go to a beach, or another country? I could basically be a tourist if I could," shared Springbonnie. "If you could, that is. Just saying. Even if this is ends and we do survive, we probably won't ever be able to leave the house. Henry has to explain our existence to the world after all and who knows how that could go," reminded Bonnie. "Oh. Yeah.... Right... " responded Springbonnie sounding disappointed. "Well, it's not out of the realm of possibilities. Things can go in our favor if we do everything right. This place is your home now, just as it is for the rest of us," I said trying to make her feel better. "What would you do if your survived this Springy?" asked Springbonnie. "I... haven't really thought about," I said. "And me?" asked Mangle as I turned to look at her next to me. "Of course I want a future with you at my side... It's just... Kinda what Freddy said: You go through so much in your life you don't know how to start over, to have a normal life again... If you can call it one," I responded. "There's a future for anyone. You just have to see it yourself to be able to have one, and you still have one waiting for you now," said Mangle. "Hopefully. Though it's a matter of whether I'll survive all of this to be able to have such a future," I responded. "At least you have one, while mine isn't even in my control," said Helply now. "Go fucking cry about it somewhere else! That's nothing to what everyone else has lost compared to you! You've lost nothing and got nothing to cry about!" exclaimed Bon Bon, clearly infuriated by Helpy complaining. "Maybe not! Unlike you who can't get over his girlfriends death! She's gone and she ain't coming back! And just chasing the person who did it ain't gonna do shit! So about you actually do something with your miserable life!" exclaimed Helpy back. "Enough! Both of you! Control your feelings Helpy! Bon Bon one more word and you're staying with Helpy! You better decide if you're with us or against us!" exclaimed Mangle who also was done with the both of them. Everyone just seemed on edge or was going through so much during these hard times. Bon Bon, Helpy, Foxy, Freddy, all had their issues that needed to be resolved. It seemed once it happened to Freddy the rest followed, like he was the catalyst for everything to change. Would things change before our battle with my father or were things meant to stay this way?

Everyone in the car went silent now, probably not wanting to speak after the argument that had just happened and with Mangle going off. "You guys think we're doing the right thing?" asked Springbonnie suddenly. Everyone looked at her, surprised to hear her ask such a question as we all looked away a moment later. "Does it matter?" responded Helpy. "The world ain't gonna know for a while, and who knows what conclusion they'll come to. Besides Michael's father started this fight, not us. We just retaliated and woke up from his dreams where everything was simple and evil didn't exist in our minds. Like I would want to live a dream like that." "So are we the good guys then?" asked Springbonnie. "Good and evil is just a matter on how it is perceived. If we win we're the good guys and William and his army are the bad guys. If he won they're the good guys and we're the bad guys. William could just make up some bullshit for the history books that we were evil and tried stopping him for whatever lie he comes up with," explained Helpy. "All I want to do is my part and that's it. Even if it means giving my own life away," said Helpy. "Are you ready for that?" I asked. "No, I'm not. But if it's something that comes down to it I can't be a coward and run out on that," responded Helpy. "Is that the cemetery?" I asked noticing the graves on the left side. "Yeah, it is. We're coming up on the entrance," responded Helpy. Once I saw the entrance to it I made the turn towards the gate, though only for us to stop. "Huh? It's closed," noted Springbonnie. "Private property, obviously," said Helpy. "No worries. All of you stay here," I said as I opened the driver door and walked on over to the gate. I stopped in front of it and noticed a simple padlock keeping it shut as I held out my hand. I shot a small Shadow Beam at the pad lock, breaking it as it fell apart and onto the ground. I pushed both gates open completely then walked back to the car and hopped back in. "We're keeping the gates open?" asked Helpy. "No, we're closing them just in case. Even if it will make an escape more complicated it's better so nobody notices the gate open, especially if a security guard decides to show up," I said driving the car down the road slowly now. "Didn't Duality and Henry make sure the security guard left early? Unless he forgot his midnight snack or something," pointed out Springbonnie. "Well, anything can happen or not go to plan. We have to account for anything that can go wrong," I said. As I slowly drove the car down the road I was looking everywhere to see if I could spot the hill Henry had told us about, which wouldn't be hard since there was only one hill in this entire place. "That's it," said Mangle pointing as I turned to where she was pointing at. The hill was at the end of the road before it went to multiple separate path ways, though there still was some walking distance we had to actually make to get to our location. I stopped at end of the road where there were both turns to go left and right, as I shut off the ignition and opened the door. "Alright! Helpy, stay at the wheel and we'll let you know if anything goes wrong. Make sure to do the same if you spot the enemy or anything unusual," commanded Mangle. "Right," he responded as I got out of the driver seat and he took my spot. "Everyone else out of the car. Springbonnie, you're in charge of handling the platform. Bonnie and Foxy, you'll both carry the shovels we have," continued Mangle. "Let's hope four shovels is enough," expressed Bonnie as everyone got out of the car. "It's six twenty eight. Gonna be light by seven so I suggest getting this done by then," mentioned Helpy. "We'll try. As long as we can get this device dug up in like five minutes we'll be out of here. If the enemy isn't here with us, that is," I responded. "Alright let's move up to the hill," mentioned Mangle as she pointed over at the spot where we had to go. I could see the hill from where we were at, which wasn't too far. We all made our way over to the spot as I looked around to see if there was anything unusual around. The enemy had to be here waiting, letting time go by so they would have the perfect chance to strike when we would least expect it. Or maybe they weren't here this time. "Switch to night vision," instructed Mangle. I activated mine once again, though it was malfunctioning once again by going on and off. I just had to deal with it for now, though I wasn't going to need it for very long anyways. If the enemy was here there was little to nowhere to hide in such an open place like a cemetery. They could hide in a shed or be watching us from a far away distance, though they would need to get close to actually do something. Still, I was on edge of the possibility of an ambush. "You ok?" asked Charlie taking notice of me looking around. "Yeah. Just making sure nobody sneaks up on us," I responded. "It's necessary so another attack doesn't happen again. However there aren't many ways they could attack us so blatantly, but a stealthy attack still is possible," said Mangle. "I don't sense anyone nearby except us, though they could be masking their souls. It's still hard to tell," said Charlie. "Sometimes it's better to rely on your own skills and senses to ensure your own and everyone's safety," responded Mangle. "Ah, we'll beat them this time. And we got our own abilities and powers this time. We should be good," said Springbonnie reassuring us. "Let's hope so," said Bonnie as we approached the spot where Henry had told us about. "Looks like we're directly proportional to the grave on top of the hill. This is where our objective should be," noted Mangle. "Alright, let's start digging!" "If you don't mind, can I visit my moms grave for a minute or two. It has been years after all... And this may be my last time I get to visit her like this," said Charlie. "Alright, then. Just don't take too long and watch things up from the hill in case the enemy decides to show up," responded Mangle. "I'll go with her to help. Just to make sure she isn't attacked as well," I said. "Ok, then. Just keep a lookout, and be safe," she responded. I nodded in acknowledgement as me and Charlie both made our way up to the hill, approaching her mothers grave as we reached the top. It seemed this spot was reserved just for Henry's wife as there were no other graves, just one grave and a tree behind it. Charlie approached her mother's grave slowly as she finally stopped in front of it and took a knee. "Hi mom. It's been a while. You might not recognize me but it's still your daughter, Charlotte. A lot has happened since then. So much. I died and have been trapped in a puppet for years, all alone. I only survived because I thought of you and dad so much. I helped other children survive, learned how to be a mother. Like you. I hope I was a good enough mother to those who lost their lives like I did. I hope they get to see their family in heaven. I hope I get to see you again. Maybe I will," spoke Charlie. "Though I got a new family, not a replacement for you or dad but another family that is just as important as my old one. And we're going to stop William Afton, the man who did this to me and so many others, even my family. My new friends and family, Michael, Freddy, Foxy, Bon Bon, Helpy, Springbonnie, Bonnie, and Mangle. They all have suffered. However we're going to make sure no else will have to suffer like we have and ensure the next generation of children, like me, can have the brightest future possible. We'll make sure of it. You would like my new family. Maybe you do already... I wish I could talk longer but we have a whole world to save, so I hope you wish us luck. And don't worry dad still remembers you, just like I have. We won't forget you. See you soon mom."
