Behind the Mask | Aphmau Five Nights At Freddy's

(62) Old Animatronic Souls

Aphmau's POV

"Wakey wakey Aph~" Jason's singsong voice rings through my ears.
I slowly open my eyes to see him smiling down at me.
"Have a good nap~?" He asks.
I nod.
"I'm glad~"
He goes silent and we just stare at each other, smiling.
"Aunty Aph! You're awake!"
Andy cheers as he enters the room.
In a split second he's next to me leaning for a hug. I hold my nephew for a bit until he let's go.
"SF suggests that you don't talk still. She doesn't want you to mess up the work she did on your voicebox." He tells me.
I give him a weak things up.
"I'm glad you're doing okay, but someone wants to meet you."
I furrow my eyebrows.
"Hye'Jin!" He calls out toward the door.
Sure enough, Hye'Jin walks in with my brand-new son in her arms. I smile and clap my hands.
The little boy giggles as she walks over to me.
"Jason named him Brandon." She tells me, placing the precious boy in my arms.
He has little bits of brown hair and very dark brown eyes, almost black. I look up at Jason to see he's staring at the newest addition to our family.
"One more to go~" He whispers.

I had almost forgot that there was a third one still to come.

"We're opening really soon, so I sadly have to go~" Jason frowns.
"The Originals will be with you if you need anything though~"
Jason then stands up from the chair he was seated in, and kisses me on the head before walking out the room with Hye'Jin.
Little Michael is playing with a toy boat in one of the corners.

He looks like he's a three year old.

The sudden presence of Mari's voice in my head startles me.

Where have you been?
I've been dealing with some problems going on in the suit.
We wouldn't want any complications now, would we?
No we wouldn't!

I smile.

Thank you so much for all your help Mari.
No problem Aphmau. I feel like I need to do this. Now I have more things to do, we'll talk later.

And just like that she's gone.
"

Ma ri?" I turn my head to see Michael standing next to me.
When I decided I was going to have my Dad take care of them, I started to have Michael call him Dad and me Mari.
"She can't talk right now sweety."
Sara tells him.
"Why no?" He asks.
"Mari is sick and it makes it so she can't talk."
He continues to stare at me.
Getting an idea, I move Brandon so he's laying in his blanket between my right arm and side.
I then carefully reach down and pick up Michael, laying him on my chest.
"Mighty." He mumbles and closes his eyes.
I just continue to smile and stroke his hair.

I love my family.

Mari's POV

As Aphmau falls asleep I enter her mind to make sure she only has good dreams tonight.
She's been in so much pain lately both physically and emotionally that she deserves it.
I can feel a smile stretch across her face as I plant in a dream about Corgis.

Time to make sure everything that Galaxy can't see is okay.

Her bad leg seems to be doing okay. Last time it was terrible. It took so long for me to fix it.
I'm not saying that Galaxy and Leo didn't do a good job, they did they best they could, but it kept coming undone.
This time it seems to be going okay. All I really need to do is change the rag that no one else can. With magic, I somehow make a rag appear and wrap it around the broken tube.

I hope this helps, even if just a little.

I check every other place to find that everything seems to be going smoothly. After all these years I'm surprised that this suit is still in working order.
I remember when this suit was controlled by the Puppet Master.

I wonder what ever happened to that suit.

Lastly, I go and check on the baby. It's a little girl as we all know. The child looks like she's almost ready to burst out.
I let a small smile onto my face before making my way back into the head of the suit.
My mind begins to wander.

Do any of them miss me?
Do they even remember that I'm still stuck in this Pizzeria?
I hope they didn't forget me.
One day I'll leave this place and finally be able  to join all of them.
To join Aaron.

Aaron's POV

The red trees, the red pond, the red man. Everything here is red.
"Son, why don't you just go up to heaven and enjoy the afterlife before you get reincarnated?"
The old man asks.
"I've already been reincarnated. My heart had at least."
The man furrows his eyebrows.
I sigh and walk over to his small pond, dipping my fingers in it.
"See for yourself."
As I run my fingers through the water an image appears.
It's Jason.
He's stuck in the same type of suit that I was in.
They had destroyed my suit after I was gone. They said it was damaged beyond repair. I agree.
"Son, that boy will never be whole without the rest of you."
He says.
"I know, but I promised Jess that I would wait for her." I tell him.
"She's down there still with her reincarnation. It's odd.
I brought her heart with me when I came and it became Aphmau." I say, swishing my hand through the water again to reveal Aphmau asleep on a metal table with her two sons sleeping next to her.
I smile.
"That's what you wanted."
He says with his own smile.
"Not exactly, but even that would have been nice."
He nods.
"Well you've been in Purgatory for a long time. It may feel like just a few hours, but it's been seven years down there."
Taking my hands out of the water, I look up at the old man.
I can't make out any features on his face.
"And why are you still in Purgatory?" I ask.
He goes silent as he stares at the fishing pole in his hand.

"Sadly you have to figure that out yourself."
