Lurking Nightmares

Framed But Crimes Never Pay

November 25th, 2016

Darkness. All I seen was darkness surrounding me only voices echoed from my silent slumber and the many noises of beeping objects when I thought I was gone for good as I let my eyes flutter open exposing bright lights above me I look around my vision trying to adjust to it's new surroundings. I notice a doctor to my left writing down something on her notepad  without hesitation she turns her head and sees I've awoken from my slumber the doctor sets a hand on my head "I see you are finally awake, now how are you feeling right now?" Asking me as of commanding to know "I don't know tired and I got a headache but I feel fine" the doctor placed her hand in a thinking position then saud "Hm" scooting over to my right and feeling my arm "Does this hurt?" I shook my head confused "No, not at all" I responded feeling confused. "Okay Ms. Henderson you do believe to be just fine though it still doesn't explain how you got those scratches among your arm" the doctor looked at me as if expecting an answer which of course if I told this women what happened she'd think I was crazy so I had to make up a different explanation otherwise I'm gonna be stuck here. I look at my arm and see the scars have healed just seem to me like it'll be permanent I look at the doctor and take a deep breathe "Well..." I began "I was on my way from work and I was very exhausted I was gonna head towards my car when I heard...a bear!" The doctor's exppression quickly changed to surprised "A bear?" She sounded disoriented. I nodded "Yep a bear and I tried to fight it back but then out of nowhere the bear struck me down by scraping my arm quickly as fast as I could I grabbed my keys, hopped in my car then drove away and pretty much bye then that's when everything was starting to get dark so yeah" I smiled innocently trying to hide any proof of the lie I just told.
The doctor looked at me as if I was crazy but she straightened up and crossed her arms "Um...okay if that's all that happened then I'll have the authorities take a look around that place to see if this "bear" is still there until then you won't be able to attend your job for a while." She advised getting up from her chair and leaving the room and right as she left a large actual grin crawled across my face as I thought to only myself *Free! I'm free for just a few days, but I'm finally free!*

That day I was able to leave the hospital early and head home. Grabbing my keys I started the car driving away from the hospital towards the location of Ellie's Diner and Arcade I go past it at a slow motion only to stop seeing the glowing yellow eye of Ellie staring at me I stare back at her we stare at each other for a long cold minute before her claws scrape across the glass of the window carving in words saying "There's no escape." I scowl at her when that demonic smile comes creeping along that cats face she shuts the curtain to the window and vanishes as I stare back at where she carved the letters I shuddered turning away from that place then driving off towards the direction of my home.

Once I returned to my humble abode I collaspe among my black sofa and flick the television on. I listen to the news report on the weather and everything when the name Mr. Brinks was suddenly mentioned. I sat up ultimately horrified as to what the reporter had to say "The missing manager of the popular establishment Ellie's Diner and Arcade. Jonathon Brinks went missing one Wednesday night at 11:30 he vanished, searchers discovered his body in pieces spreaded about on the diner floor people believe it was murder and the animatronics could be the cause but investigators declare nothing wrong with them. Many are questioning each other and some believe there could only be one suspect behind this horrendous crime." I was horrified as to what they meant by one suspect and before I could listen anymore I heard a knock at the door. I stand up and head to the door but as I place my hand on the knob I pull it away "Who is it?" I ask nervously the response was loud and tense "This is the police! Open up Luna Henderson you are under arrest for death chargers of Jonathan Brinks!"
My heart just stopped for a good two seconds and I began inhaling fast "No this can't be happening, it's not my fault!" I whisper myself. I take a deep breathe and head towards the back door when the police banged on tje front one again "We said open up! Don't make us come in there Henderson!" They shout aloud. I quickly grab my rifle and load it with many bullets then bringing back ups just in case I shout back "Not until I prove my innocence I'm not gonna do such thing!" I shout back breaking through the back door with rifle in hand making a run for it. Hearing the foitsteps of the officers behind me I turn around towards them and without thinking I take aim and fire straight at them til one by one they fall to ground motionless I keep running. No looking back, I quickly search for a place to hide and I vanish deep into the darkest parts of the alley.
