Lurking Nightmares: Lost Memories

Propositions and Dirty Tricks (Cinder)

February 13th, 2021

Yesterday was a day that had filled me with pain and regret I just couldn't stand the fact that all my friends left me for something I've done. Throughout these months I've tormented poor Uniqua to a point they harmed themselves I began feeling very guilty after thinking for hours about my actions towards one innocent animatronic created a big rift between ones who once followed turned away leaving me alone. Refusing to let tears fall I stare in between the slightly opened curtain to my stage watching Karina, Ryan, Thomas, and Uniqua mess around with the night guard I only sighed shutting my curtains completely in darkness I sat in the center where not even my once loyal parrot, Polly would be beside me sitting among shoulder; I stared at nothing feeling trapped, feel lost and all alone nothing but silence til a sudden movement alarms me I stand up looking around frantically "Who's there?" I growl "I know your here" my eyes follow a dark shadowy figure standing amongst the darkest side of the corners it's form hard to make out but what has the shape of some sort of rodent animatronic they open they're eyes to a plain white emptiness which startled me "Don't be afraid Cinder" a voice broke out sounding male this time really surprised me "Who are ya? How do you know me name?" The question makes the figure laugh. "I know everything. Your past, your life, your memories, your family, everything" they chuckled amused"And as for my name, just call me Whisper the chinchilla" I stand a few feet away from the stranger known as Whisper feeling as if he could be some possible threat "What do you want from me?" The question brewed up inside like a bomb of terror was going to break out.

Whisper walks around my stage opening the curtains slightly revealing a bit of light "Nothing really, just control of your mind and body that's all. Maybe if I can I'll take possession of your friends too" he smiles darkly only from a hint of light I could see his fur looked greyish white I looked away "They're not my friends. Not anymore at least" my ears go flat sudden feel of a hand lifts me up by my chin I end up face to face with Whisper "Oh poor dear Cinder do not feel bad, after all it was your fault for hurting Uniqua I mean who would be your friend after you almost got them killed. Such a shame. Such a shame" I pull away becoming more upset and angry "Yeah I know, but maybe if I apologize they could-" "No" Whisper cut me off "After what you did, what makes you think they'll ever forgive you? Cinder, just think about after doing what you did they probably want nothing to do with you all your are is pawn waiting to be crushed once again if you even try asking for forgiveness it won't work" tears fall from all he is saying feels true I peek towards the sight of my former friends then look back to Whisper sadly "Your right I guess a monster like me doesn't deserve forgiveness." Whisper cane up behind placing his claw like hands on my shoulders and tail wrapped around me whispering into my ear "Don't worry Cinder, I'll be your friend I won't ever leave you alone" his words echoed in my head as he pulls away "Now why would you want to be friends with me? I don't understand why you would want to" Whisper takes both my hands "Well actually I was thinking much more then friends Cinder, I want you as my bride."

Those final words made me react in shock "What?" He pulled out a ring "You heard me, trust me Cinder we can do so much more then those low life animatronics do I've known you long enough to understand how threatening you can be so what do you say?" My resistance to answer created tension for me I didn't know what to do "I don't know..." Whisper becomes impatient "Well you have a choice Cinder either be stuck here alone with no one who cares about you or with me the one who does" I think for a long moment thinking of a way out but in this situation I don't think there is one. "So what will it be?" The chinchilla animatronic asked holding up the ring I sigh then look at him "I'll accept" like being strangled those words deeply tore me up inside "Good choice" Whisper grinned placing the blue sapphire ring on my finger I stared at it's glossy charm filling me with regret Whisper takes my hands "Now that we're married let us go to my domain" with a snap of his fingers we were teleported away later reappearing in what use to be Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria has become abandoned I look around in horror at the broke remains of Chica, Rosy, and oh no...my father.
