Syngenesophobia

1. An Angry House

A/N: Hello, dear readers. This is something I wanted to get out there for a while.

Disclaimer: I don't own everything from Five Nights at Freddy's.

The middle child of the 13-member family looked at disbelief as 9 of her brothers started arguing among themselves, she couldn't help but feel guilty about this. All she needed to do was keep her mouth shut, but given her good-natured and truthful habits, she accidentally spilled some secret the brothers had about each other. Elizabeth backed into a corner next to the fireplace when it seemed evident that the fists would fly very soon. Her parents were hiding with Linx in the bedroom, which seemed like the best place to be in. But instead, fate had other plans.

Before another cloud fight could ensue, Goldie whistled between his fingers, calling the attention of the others. "Hold on a second, boys. Why are we even fighting like this again?"

"Because Mr. Sporty here thinks he needs a car cleaning material due to my lisp! It's not something I can help you know!" Carter glared at Michael, some of his spit getting on that jocks face.

"And since Mr. King of the mud here thinks I snore so loud, maybe he should FART louder!" Charles pointed out to his twin.

"Well, you wouldn't have known about it if Elizabeth hadn't-" the moment those words left Liam's mouth, the remaining Brothers went wide-eyed before turning their attention to their only sister, who by now was halfway towards the safety of their parents room.

"Elizabeth..." the girl went pale at the mention of her name. Before she knew it, she was surrounded from all sides by her siblings.

"H-Hi, boys."

"And just where do you think you're going?" Charles asked, a huge frown on his face.

"Um..." She paused, trying to think of an excuse.

"Nowhere, that's what." Michael spat, cracking his knuckles.

"W-W-Wait, I'm sorry for accidentally spilling those secrets! I couldn't stop myself before it came out." The girl stated, the fear evident in her voice. However, like predators who cornered their prey, this didn't faze the brothers.

"Well, it is true those secrets you said were distasteful in nature, it was your responsibility to not speak word of it to anyone else, especially on who it was. And that is a trust bond you have broken too frequently as of late." Carter stated in his usual monotone.

"And it was thanks to your big mouth me and Fred started fighting again!" Goldie yelled in anger. "Thanks to you, our brother fight protocol didn't work like it should have!"

"All you had was one job, sis." Christopher stated.

"DON'T. GET. INVOLVED!" All nine boys spoke in unison.

Those words again, 'Brother Fight Protocol' and 'dont get involved'. The orange haired girl recalled how it seemed everyone but her knew about it: William and Vanessa, heck, even Nightmare knew about it (no doubt because Goldie texted him). It angered her that her brother's excluded her again from something that would have benefited all of them, but what did she get? Getting kicked out of her room twice, couldn't eat lunch or use the bathroom, and getting her sheets taken, only to have a pile of dirty laundry dumped on her. Rather hard to not get involved when you have your things being used without you constant.

Elizabeth gritted her teeth in frustration. Normally, she would have just taken the yelling and backed down, but not this time. The boys were making this both more complex than needed, and the solution was so simple that she was honestly surprised the boys hadn't realized it. Giving a heated stare back at Her Brothers, "What is SO important about the stupid protocol that you just HAD to exclude me from it?! Why is it I can't enjoy the things I want to do just because you and Fred needed space?! You both aren't the only ones who live in this house you know! Have I been informed of it, none of this would have happened! Okay, so my first idea didn't work, I could have thought of something else! And how I'm supposed to not get involved if you keep taking over my room and using my stuff?! Why couldn't you just use some place else other than my place of peace?! But since you guys were being stupid, selfish, and not once thinking about that this dumb 'system' of yours isn't working (probably because you were being as dumb as Fred to realize it), I had to... To..." She stopped her rant after noting the angry glares her brothers were giving her.

Each of the nine boys had a look that was much harsher than what they would normally have when they were irritated. Fueled by the rage of their constant arguing and would be brawl, the boys were highly tents and ready to unleash that anger on the girl that stood before them. Elizbeth felt her blood run cold. The predatory stares from her siblings told her that she screwed up horribly, and that she was a prey that was about to meet its end. The girl flinched when she saw Michael cracking his knuckles, followed by the rest of the boys instinctively clenching their fists. Sweat formed on her forehead as her pupils shrink.

"Dang it! Poor choice of words..." She thought to herself. Seeing as she was close to getting pummeled to possibly death, her mind only thought of one thing: RUN. Pushing past three of her younger siblings, she lunged for the stairs. If she could make it to her room, she hoped she could barricade the door and wait this out. Unfortunately, as she was halfway up, Michael tackled her and tussled with her back down the stairs. Once at the bottom, the rest piled in.

Now, Elizabeth was used to getting into fights with her brother's (which she never won due to numbers), but this one was much, much worse. It seemed as if they were hitting harder than they usually would and had thought to literally turn her into a human pretzel. Everything was coming at her so fast she didn't know what was going on, but all she knew was pain, and to try to protect her face. several fist collided in quick succession, given her a black eye, missing teeth, and a broken nose which had blood beginning to seep from it. She moved her hands to protect her face. the pain was conflicting with her brain, making it hard for Elizabeth to decide which area needed more shielding.

Against nine people, it was almost impossible for Elizabeth to protect herself. The hits just kept coming, and the girl felt they were starting to grow fiercer with each impact. She wasn't much of a fighter like Michael, so even if she try to fight back it wouldn't have made a difference. In fact, even some of her younger sibling seems stronger than her. Her mind told her if she kept her stupid mouth shut, she wouldn't be in the situation. It then decided to remind her all the things she did that made her siblings angry: the video contest, the whole sweet spot ordeal, and now... This. Part of Elizabeth felt she deserved this after making her brother's mad at her for the last time, but the other part told her this was too much, even for them. The girl was pulled from her thoughts when one of her arms got stretched out and bent in a direction opposite of its natural bent. She screamed in agony as the hits kept coming, tears finally falling from her face like a river flowing from a mountain.

In the parents room, William and Vanessa were huddled with their infant child, listening to the constant banging and fighting happening in the living room.

"I know they've had fights before, but this is nuts!" The matriarch of the family stated.

"I know, I know..." William stated, looking at linx for a moment. Only reason he was with them was because he was still very young. The father of 11 didn't like it whenever his children faught over something trivial, and it did bother him when neither him or Vanessa could do much about it. So for their parents sake, their sons invented the Brothers Fight Protocol do help reduce fighting in the house. However, this seems to have failed to.

"Vanessa... I know we try to let her children handle their issues themselves, but... Do you think we do too little to stop them?"

The mother nodded in agreement. "I do... I mean, we agreed not to pick favourites so we don't cause any unintentional revelry well at least more so than they already have... I don't like saying this but sometimes I couldn't help but think if we had a smaller family... but I can never think about how fun and interesting ours is as it it stands."

William couldn't help but agree to that. However, he also noticed the noise had stopped, both now hearing only the sound of someone crying. Both assumed it was linx, but even he had a strate face and was confused. Cautiously, both parents peeked out the door. The brothers have stopped fighting, but now they had looks of guilt, regret, shock, and horror adorned on their faces. A few of them had their hands shaking unconsciously, with one of the boys staring at his somewhat bloody digits. The source of the crying was coming from the centre of their circle, which now had both parents are immensely worried. In all the years that kids fought each other, it never resulted in someone wailing like they were in serious pain.

"Uh, boys? What's going on?" Vanessa asked.

The boys couldn't say anything, but instead Christopher and Frederick parted a bit. The looks on the adults faces sais it all, with William practically had tears in his eyes. "Oh my god, Elizabeth!"
