I am Machine: Chapter 12

It was going to be a tomb for him, for the others. He didn’t know how long he had been in this darkness, he was looking around, it was a sea of cries for help that were unanswered, it made Alec uncomfortable in the sense this was like a graveyard, he noticed some of these Lonely Freddy's were quiet and very still, it appeared they died.

It was dawning on him now that would most likely happen to him, to the rest of them, they would die and no one would realise they died.

That would be the end of his story.

Trapped forever with no escape.

This place was a wasteland just about.

Suddenly Alec heard something from outside, his eyes looked up, he heard something rattle.

Light poured in as the lid was lifted up, Alec wondered if someone else was being thrown in, but instead, he saw a man peer in, he made a disgusted face but reached in with his gloved hands, something unexpected was happening.

The man was grabbing some of the Lonely Freddy's and pulling them out, Alec was unsure why that was happening, disposing of them with fire or something?

The last one was grabbed..... Was Alec.

He was shocked the man lend down, reaching his hand down and grabbed his wrist, lifting him out, Alec was exposed to daylight again, which made his eyes slightly hurt, he blinked away irritation and looked around.

Alec was placed in a cardboard box among the other random five that seemed to be chosen. He watched the man pull a key from his pocket and re-locked the dumpster.

The man then stepped over and lifted up the box, walking away with the box, Alec looked to the direction he was walking and saw he was walking back inside the pizzeria, the door open. It suddenly occurred to Alec at that moment.

“Hey! I'm not a Freddy! Can you help me??” He spoke.

The man seemed to not hear him, Alec was positive he spoke as loud as he possibly could, he thought it was still possible he couldn’t talk, none of the other Lonely Freddy's next to him seems to talk.

Alec watched the man take the box into a strange room, a room with several desks, locked cabinets, and another man there, working on a robot that Alec vaguely remembered.

The robot was sitting on the desk, both eyes black and vacant, with the appearance of a bear that looked different to Freddy, its fur was black, Alec saw a red hat and bowtie on his neck, he tried to recall his name but it didn’t come to him in that time.

The man put the cardboard box down on one desk and went to tap the other man on the shoulder.

The one working on the black bear stopped and turned to the man, “Oh Wayne, you got them as I asked?” The man asked.

Wayne had nodded and pointed to the box. He stopped working and walked to the box, he peered in and pointed his finger at each one, “Six... I'm honestly so angry that bloody employees like Mel, Terry and Garry think it's okay to throw them out when they start acting strange, seriously I can fix them in a jiffy!”

“What? Were you talking just now?”

Alec noticed that tone spoke quite emotionless.

The man who looked at them turned back to Wayne, “I was just talking to myself, Wayne! You know how I am... You can go now if you want!”

Was that guy Wayne deaf? Is that why he couldn’t hear him?

Wayne had walked off, the man turned and shook his head, “I’m telling Mike about this, it's ridiculous! These things still work they're just... A bit filthy... Suppose I'm cleaning up... Lefty can wait for a while... I can’t understand his requirements...” He looked at Alec, “Great, stale vomit... Well, I guess I need to soak and scrub you up.”

He pulled on white gloves and lifted Alec up like a toddler, Alec kept absolutely still as he removed from the box. He saw the man had a name tag and read it.

Benedict.

Must be a mechanic of some sort, he was repairing that bear in the room.

Alec was put into a bucket, Benedict pulled off the black hat on his head and yanked off the bowtie, he looked up to see Benedict had grabbed a white bottle, he then splashed something on his head, he had to resist the urge to shiver at how cold it felt.

Benedict then started scratching at his head then moved it further down, at that moment Alec realised this was some sort of strange bath, Benedict was scrubbing a special soap mixture into the fur.

After a few minutes of scrubbing and manipulating his “body” in strange ways, Benedict sat him down in the bucket.

“Alright, need to leave you for a few minutes, let that set in.”

When Benedict looked away, Alec looked at the “hands” he had now which were covered in soapy bubbles.

He was not going to get used to the fact that this wasn’t a nightmare.

“Oh no, this one hasn't got an eye, like you huh Lefty?”

The man was talking to himself, kind of stupid but Alec didn't make that judgement known.

Alec heard the door open.

“Hey Benny!”

“Hi, Jeremy!”

Someone else entered the room.

“How long until Lefty can be back on stage?”

“I've set his systems to reboot.... He should be up and about within.... It says 10 minutes...”

“Good.... Good....”

“I'm also fixing up some of these discarded Lonely Freddy's...”

“Oh god, the staff are finding stupid reasons to dispose of them... I know some do stop working but about 40% of them can be fixed.”

Is that why Alec and some of the others had been picked out? They were going to be put back out in the pizzeria? Alec suddenly had awful flashes of toddlers pulling on his limps like a toy, he hated how he was treated by them... But he guessed this was how they treated every Lonely Freddy.

“Hey, Jeremy... I wanted to ask... About the policy of co-workers dating?”

“Well... Just as long as it doesn’t interfere with work... Why?” He asked.

“I'm interested in asking out Lewis.... I've been told he has had male partners before... So I feel less anxious about asking him out.”

“Well go ahead and ask Mr Music Man if you can duet.”

Alec kind of tuned the conversation, he was thinking about what would be next, he couldn't see a future where he went home at this point unless he did something to make it known he wasn't a Lonely Freddy.

“I will! When I get a second...”

“Don't make that second so long... It might be likely Lewis could find another love interest if you don't pluck up the courage to ask him!”

“Yes... Yes... I know....”

“I was told we had a ripped Yarg Foxy a week ago? Was it fixed up?”

“Yep, fixed it in 10 minutes for a sweet little girl named Hazel, she was so polite and talkative! I rarely get to talk with children when I'm working... She was slightly upset though, about her older brother she told me, his name was... Um... Alex... No, it was Alec, yes Alec was his name. I felt bad for her, clearly, this Alec character doesn't realise he has an amazing sister. Apparently, she wanted the toy for him.”

Alec felt ashamed of himself, for everything, not just that, but for so many other countless things. Hazel just wanted to be his friend and he was too stupid and paranoid to see that, he thought they were a problem but he was the problem.

“Fan of Foxy, I'm not surprised, most boys like Foxy.”

“Well, he's cool. I like the original though, I mean.. Rockstar Foxy is good but the original was amazing.”

“I understand what you mean, Mike is a fan of Foxy also. I see him usually looking at the pictures from back in the day, he uses to work as the nightshift in one of the original places years ago...”

“Kids go nuts over Foxy....”

Alec slowly stood up, peering out of the bucket, he saw Benedict and Jeremy having a conversation, this body appeared to move easier now, his movements were stiff before but he found now they were much better, it was like his self conscious had adjusted to this body, which he admittedly didn't want to adapt to a body that wasn't his and would never be his.

He saw the bear on the desk slightly moved his hand.

“Anyway, I need to go start working, have a good day!” Jeremy smiled and left.

Benedict nodded, he had turned his head one way then turned back.

“Hello there! You still work little guy?”

He was talking to Alec, no doubt, his eyes were on him, Benedict walked over to him, “I bet being in that dumpster was pretty scary huh? Dark place...”

Was he searching for a conversation? Alec didn’t feel like talking honestly, he knew this guy wouldn't treat him as a human.

“Let's wash the soap off, I think the smell should be gone by now....”

Benedict pushed Alec down so he was sitting in the bucket again. He then abruptly splashed cold water on him.

“Cold!!!” Alec screeched unintentionally nearly jumping out of the bucket.

“Sorry cold water is the best...” Benedict lifted him out.

Not too long after, he had been dried off and placed on the desk.

“Alright... Let's try some basic tests, Hello there!”

“Hello?” Alec responded sounding unsure, he did actually hear his voice and Benedict seem to react, frowning when he spoke.

“Why does its voice sound so peculiar?..... Eye colour is also incorrect...” Benedict asked, “Okay, try this... Tell me who you are.”

Alec looked around, a bit uncomfortable, he couldn’t understand anything, he was in a strange place in a strange body.

“What's wrong?”

“Why did I do what I did? I made a mess of everything...”

Benedict looked even more confused, “How did you, Fred?”

Hearing that name made Alec nearly cry, it was like he lost his identity as a person and had become a mindless machine, “I'm not Freddy!!!” He shouted not wanting to hear the name ever again.

“Benedict! We need help immediately!!”

Benedict got up from his seat and left the room.

Alec looked around this place, he thought about Benedict's confusion, he sees me as factory reject probably, he thought, starting to feel sick.

“I’m watching you, demented little bear your days are numbered.”

Alec shivered, he was supposed to be alone, who just spoke then?

He looked around and his eyes fell on that black bear who had somehow moved his head towards him, his eyes were black voids but he seem to stare straight at him.

Impossible! He thought, These things can’t move on their own accord! Somebody must be controlling it!!

The bear just stared at him, Alec had the strangest feeling, a sinking gut feeling like this robot should be avoided. Alec got off the desk, and ran outside the room, he turned to make sure the robot wasn’t following him, but he hadn’t turned back in time and he hit directly into something.

“What the? What’s your hurry?”

Alec had smacked into one of the robots, he looked up, oh god it looked so much more bigger and scary than it should.

And it was Chica he struck, she wasn’t even a threatening animal!

Alec wanted this nightmare to end! But there didn’t seem to be an end in sight!

“What's going on?” Freddy had approached them, and with that, Alec was outnumbered.

“This one ran into me. Dunno why, they don’t run,” Chica replied.

“Maybe we’ll ask Lefty about it... can you come with me for a minute?”

Alec wanted to say no, but he just shook his head. He was gripped by fear and being outnumbered wasn't helping.

“Why does this one have green eyes?”

“Lefty!” Chica yelled out.

Alec didn’t like the idea of being around these robots, they had looked around with their eyes away long enough that Alec ran off from their view, he saw the door to the back rooms was open so he ran though there, he decided at that moment no one would see him ever again if they couldn't see who he really was.

“...I thought the voice was you, but it sounded very different.... I was scared of you... But I’m not scared of you anymore...”

“I’m glad to know that Alec, because I’m not scary... I was built to help kids, not give them nightmares.”

“This still.... is kind of like a nightmare... it feels like one... but I can’t wake up.”

“I think reality can sometimes be the worse sort of nightmare, because you can’t wake up from it.”

“That's.... that’s really true actually...”

They both heard thunder, Lefty looked up at the celling, the garage was unlit but his eye and Alec's eyes had reacted and turned into a beam of light, it was like a flashlight beacon of yellow and green, the feature was useful to see. Lefty looked slightly irritated by the sound, “Dam it that bloody storm is not letting up... It's probably well pass midnight now...”

“Lefty?”

“What is it?”

“I’m actually scared that I can’t go back,” Alec admitted.

“I know it's really scary... Just know whatever comes next... I’ll help you, whether that be talking to your parents, or even confronting Lonely Freddy.”

“I see both of those as bad ideas honestly.”

“We need to keep all the options open at this time... I am aware Lonely Freddy will not give up without a fight and I hate to imagine what could happen if you accidentally get caught up... as I said... if he realised you were still alive and there is a chance he can be stopped, he would want to kill you... I have little doubt he is beneath killing... but I will protect you from him.”

Alec's ears lowered, “I... I want my life back... this isn’t what I want.”

Lefty gently ruffled the patch of fur on his head, “Rest assured, I'm not letting Lonely Freddy get away with what he did... I know the body you are in feels like a cage but I will break this curse, your story is not over and I will help you fight for your happy ending.”

Lefty has vowed to help Alec get a better ending....
