Lurking Nightmares: Lost Memories

The Message (Tony)

February 13th, 2021

After dealing with Cinder the day before she has kept herself hidden away behind her stage curtains out of sight not once showing herself. Even the others started noticing but few cared thinking she was hiding from the shame thinking she deserved to just be left to suffer with guilt but knowing Cinder long enough she does attempt apologies after spending her time away to think but something wasn't right at all it was all too quiet; staring over at her stage from where I am standing near the tables with Ren who snaps her fingers to get my attention "Hey Tony! You okay? Your staring over at Cinder's stage for quite a while now is there something wrong?" I look at the beautiful lemur concerning "Yes, I'm afraid Cinder is probably hurt or far worse" I respond Ren waves her ringed tail back and forth "I'm sure she's fine, but now that you mention it something does seem off" I nod looking around the room spotting the small green and red parrot, Polly talking with the Wolflings. "Polly!" I call to the miniature parrot who looks my way then flies over landing on the unplugged microphone "Yes, what is it Tony?" Polly squawked "Could you check on Cinder I'm quite worried about her and knowing you are a close companion to her" the parrot at first was hesitant "I don't know...after what she did I...sigh actually I'll check cause I do know that there probably is something wrong" he flew up in the air "I'll go check on her" Ren and I watch as Polly glides himself swiftly over to Cinder's stage appearing gracefully through the curtains a minute later flying straight out quickly "She's not on her stage, she's gone" Polly's frantic squawking alerted everyone bringing to our direction "Wait? Cinder's missing!" Marble announced "No, not Cinder I can't lose my sister" Miles clutched his head "Where could she had gone?" Uniqua questioned.
So many of us started freaking out I tried to calm them down not even Ryan could get them to settle it was useless when out of nowhere a sudden jolt of energy erupted flying us backwards ending the terrified chatter. I lifted my head up rubbing it and as soon as I did my eyes widened with unease as well as everyone else's but some becoming alert from the unexpected newcomer standing before us; looking like a purple animatronic bear with white pupils watching us "Who are you?" A question Dream asked standing up the newcomer looked over to her "No one you'd know, Dream but don't be afraid. My name is Shadow Freddy but you may call me Shadow" I stand up and face the intruder "Were you the one who caused the energy jolt?" Shadow nodded "Yes I am and I apologize for that but there is no time. I have a message for all of you" "A message? What message?" This time Ryan questions "A message of which you must rescue Cinder and your families. Listen carefully, from these few months and year Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria shut down leaving your families alone to wither eventually shutting off completely to a point they became phantoms but I had to guide those phantoms to a world where they could be free but something went wrong" Shadow spoke as we listened my mind becoming lost even though I don't know if the animatronics he speaks of "What happened to our families? What happened to my parents!?" Franny flips out having Ryan trying to calm her down Shadow continues "Someone had stolen their memories. He stole one by one placed each memory he's ever captured in jars then hiding them away where no but himself could find" "Who is this "he?"" I ask Shadow opens a vision portal showing a pink eyed animatronic chinchilla "His name is Whisper. He is known for stealing memories and tricking others just like he tricked your sister Cinder, Miles and Marble."

Miles growled "No one never and I mean ever takes my sister away!" Marble stamped his foot "Yeah! Mess with one of us you mess with all of us" everyone cheered in agreement. "But wait if they lost their memories how can we get them back?" Cinnamon wonders walking up to Shadow "You must locate all memories labeled with the names of those animatronic phantoms then return them to those animatronics therefore defeating Whisper in the process. But be warned Whisper can easily take your memories as well so be careful, now I must go. I wish you all the best of luck" before anyone could respond he had already vanished.
