Genuinely, it was unnecessary for this to have been in person: the client didn't want to see the robots, and the client didn't even have any machines or tech that they wanted to show off. There was no reason for Anna and Luis to have taken the time out of their day for this meeting: the client just spent an hour talking at them, thinking that they can throw their weight around complaining about things outside of Anna and co's control as if it was somehow Anna's fault.
Anna and co barely survived Fazbears: she was not about to start putting up with a bunch of Fazbear wannabes.
The meeting left Luis knackered and Anna considering blacklisting the client and telling the bastards to pick their robots up tomorrow lest the sacks of metal get left on the curb.
Even Fazbear's wasn't this big of a diva, and they have plenty of other contracts anyway.
Due to technical complications, users of the funtime delivery service received emails that were not addressed to them.
Thanks to this defect, we got to see some insights into the employees of Fazbear Entertainment and some of the contractors they hired!
It's that time of year again!
So let's pull one of Fazbear's own strategies and have a party to try and make light of the chaos that was the behind-the-scenes of the special delivery service, from the virus that locked contractors out of their systems, to the nearly impossible feat of engineering that was re-making the mangle (as that thing from the 80's was definitely held together by a ghost)! Grab a drink, mind the sling and try to avoid agitating that bruise, and lets' have some fun! ~AK
The event will run from May 1st to May 31st, but let's be honest, you can do this whenever you want (you can even prepare what you want to make now).
This year, I - with the help of the vanessaverse server - opted to go for a week based event rather than a prompt-per-day event. This should help facilitate larger 'projects'.
Art, crafts, and and written works are all accepted.
No AI.
Tag what you make with "fnafARemailMonth2026" and the week. Also, @ this blog so we can see what you create!
Whilst most of the emails appear in The Ultimate Guide, not all of them do. Fortunately for us, people have documented the emails, and the most reliable resources I've found has been a few google docs found via a redit thread, and more recently, someone going by the alias of Under_Score made a very pretty repository of all of the emails. The fnaf fandom wiki is also a semi-reliable resource.
Week 1 - System Glitch
For week 1, the focus will be on the leaked corespondence between Fazbear Entertainment's Office of Legal Affairs and their contractors regarding halting work on all vintage hardware, the corespondence between the contractors regarding a virus that started spreading through the contractor's systems, and their corespondence with Fazbear's technical support.
(Characters: Anna, Mark, Steve, Raha, Dan, Kayla, James. Event: all in-game emails involving the contractors)
Week 2 - Red flag
For week 2, the focus will be on the leaked corespondence between Luis Cabrera and Nessie97, the disturbng searches leading to red flag reports, and Nessie97's attempts to obtain 'help'.

Week 4 - Transfers & Layoffs
For week 4, the focus will be on the transfers, layoffs, and the things that never saw the light of day.
(Event: anything and everythig from the in-game emails that were dug up from the game files that never actually made it into the game.)
Description: A Special Fnaf Fan Story made for the Vanuary Month Event, Specifically made for Day 18: Hurt/Comfort.
Extra: I have little to no Knowledge of how Therapy Sessions in real life work, this story is simply based on stuff I’ve researched and/or seen on TV Shows - Movies and any form of Media.
Extra: this Story takes place 1 Year after the Events of Security Breach in my AU.
Please Enjoy.
A Dark and Stormy Morning surrounded the sky at every inch, nothing but endless amounts of Heavy Rain - Loud Thunder - Gushing Wind and Crackling Lightning
if weren’t for the all the Drainages the town would practically be a flooded pool, it had been storming for the last few Weeks with barely any sign of ending any time soon
All the houses were drenched in endless rain, The Arrington House was no different, inside all the lights were turned off and it was barely visible to see anything
Vanessa in her bed began to tiredly open her eyes, she rubbed her eyes as she then heard a thud
Vanessa: hello, Gregory, Freddy ?
Vanessa then got up from bed and opened her room door and made her way to the living room, it was dark, way darker than she last remembered
She was then shocked when a bright bolt of Lightning Strikes outside as well as Roaring Thunder suddenly happened
she walked over to the light switch and flipped it but to her surprise nothing happened
Vanessa: what, don’t tell me the power went out
Vanessa’s focus was then interrupted as she heard another sound come from the kitchen, her gaze immediately met with the kitchen as she slowly approached
Vanessa: Gregory, Sweetie is that you, Gregory if this is some kind of prank then it isn’t very f-
Vanessa would then find herself cutting her sentence off short as a horrible scent assaulted her nose, a smell that was all too familiar to her, as she took a step forward she stepped in something that appeared wet and red
She soon noticed that it wasn’t just blood, she noticed that their were motionless body’s laying in her kitchen with Knives on the floor covered in red
Vanessa froze in shock as she could start feeling her heart beginning to race as it felt as if her heart was about to burst out of her chest, her vision starting distorting as well, the body’s began staring at her
she soon began to noticed that it was the faces of all the Pizzaplex Victims, They all began Insulting and Reprimanding her
Vanessa desperately covered her Ears and closed her Eyes
She slowly backed out of the kitchen into the living room and suddenly the Distortion stopped, she would then be shocked by the sudden appearance of Gregory, his back was turned and he was facing the TV that had Glitchy Static on it
Vanessa: Gregory, we need to leave, something horrible is-
Vanessa’s fear and nervousness only strengthened when Gregory made no response, she started to step closer and put her hand on his shoulder
Vanessa: Gregory-
Vanessa stopped what she was saying as she noticed the TV screen
The TV depicted a clear and focused picture of Vanny’s Mask as the imagine started becoming more and more clear
Vanessa then noticed Gregory slowly turning around, now fully turned he was depicted with Red Glowing Glitchy Eyes
Vanessa: no, no, this isn’t possible
Vanessa’s heart sank as she then heard a voice behind her, the voice of all her worst fears
Vanny: oh Vanessa
Vanny: Nothings Impossible
Vanessa wasn’t able to understand how any of this was happening, she wanted to run but found that she couldn’t move, vanny then screeched in a high pitched roar as she grabbed Vanessa by the hair and threw her to the ground as she wrapped her hands around Vanessa’s neck
Vanny: (Psychotic Laughter) aw Poor Helpless Vanessa, no Family or Friends to help you out this time
Vanessa was struggling to call out for help while also trying to get vanny off of her but she soon started losing her strength and soon her eyes started closing, as her eyes closed she saw the Red eyed Gregory Watching her
Vanessa: Gregory (Strained Voice)
Vanessa started losing her breath as tears began to form in her eyes
Vanny: Nighty Night, (Glitchy static Roar)
(Suddenly)
Then suddenly Vanessa’s eyes bursted open with a few tears down her face, she checked her surroundings, the lights were on and their was calm music playing on her phone and the TV was paused, outside was Cloudy and Raining quite a bit
Vanessa felt a small weight on her, she then looked down and noticed a small child’s head laying on her lap sleeping under a blanket, it was Gregory, Vanessa then remembered that she and Gregory both fell asleep on the couch watching a movie last night
Vanessa closed her eyes, took a deep breath and sighed in relief while also wiping her tears, her attention was then focused on small grumbles
The grumbles were coming from Gregory who was waking up, tiredly rubbing his eyes as he moved his head to face Vanessa
Vanessa: (small giggle) morning Sleepy Head, sorry I didn’t mean to wake you up
Gregory: oh (small yawn), you didn’t wake me up, I had a bad dream that I woke up from
Vanessa: aw, it’s ok sweetie (gently pushes his hair out of his face) do you want to talk about it
Gregory looked up at Vanessa’s face as he was about to talk then noticed that she had a couple of Tears on her faces d she looked like she was thinking hard, he knew she only made that face when she usually had nightmares or when she was remembering something bad
Gregory: Vanessa, your making that sad face, are you okay
Vanessa: uh yeah, no need to worry, I just also had a bad dream
Gregory: was it about, you know who
Vanessa: …. Um yeah, but no need to worry, this nightmare wasn’t too bad, and it didn’t last that long either
Gregory tiredly makes a small soft smile as he takes Vanessa’s hand
Gregory: it’ll be alright Vanessa, just remember your not alone anymore, you have Me - Freddy and all of our other Friends, and if Vanny ever does manage to come back I promise I’ll always protect you
As Gregory finishes his statement his eyes close and he falls back asleep
Vanessa gave a soft and sincere smile as she softly kissed Gregory on the forehead as he slept
Vanessa: thank you Brownie Bean
Vanessa’s attention was then turned to behind her as she heard Wheels, Glamrock Freddy stepped into the living room in his Backup Robot Body (made after he lost his Original Body)
Freddy: Hello Starlight, did you have a good sleep
Vanessa: oh hi Freddy, yeah I’m fully rested
Freddy: Good, I am glad to hear, so listen, I could not help but overhear your conversation with Gregory
Vanessa: Oh, you uh, Heard that, well it’s nothing to worry about, really
Freddy: are you certain, I’ve notice that you’ve been having trouble Sleeping and it feels like you have been forcing a happy look on your face
Vanessa: oh, I didn’t realize you were knew all that, I guess lately I’ve just been feeling a little down and drained
Freddy: well Vanessa, I know you might not feel like your ready, but I’ve been thinking, maybe you should try finding a new Therapist
Vanessa looked at Freddy with bit of a shocked and surprise expression, she remembered how Gregory told her how he found all the Therapy Session CD’s
Vanessa: uh, I don’t know Freddy, what if-
Freddy: I understand that you are scared that if you try therapy again something bad will happen to you or your therapist, but now that you are no longer working for Fazbear Entertainment I think it’s unlikely that anything bad will happen if you find one that has no connection to Faz-Ent LLC.
Vanessa: (deep breath) maybe your right, I guess I can give it a try
Freddy: that’s the sprit
Vanessa: but I’ll have to find a new and good therapist
Freddy: do not worry, I will help you
(One Day Later)
Vanessa and Freddy then spent a couple of hours on the computer looking for a New and Private Therapist
Soon enough Gregory half awake still covered in his blanket walked up to them
Gregory: Hi Vanessa, Hi Freddy (Yawn), what are you guys doing
Freddy: oh hi their Superstar, we were just, um-
Vanessa: well we’re just looking up some information for something important
Gregory with a tired expression then proceeded to walk up the the both of them and climb up and sit on Vanessa’s lap to see what they were doing
Gregory: why are you guys looking up Therapy Websites
Vanessa: well you see, Freddy and I decided that I’m going to try therapy again
Gregory: but I thought you said you didn’t want to do that anymore after-, well you know
Vanessa: I know, but remember, all my former Therapist were all Associated with Fazbear Entertainment, this time I’m going to be looking for a New and Private who isn’t connected to the Company at all
Gregory: mmmm, I don’t know about this, how can we even be so sure, can you even talk to them about what’s specifically troubling you
Both Vanessa and Freddy both looked at each other with somewhat Worried and Contemplative looks on their faces, Gregory’s question did raise a good point, even if Vanessa found the right therapist it’s not like she could just tell them that she was possessed and trapped inside a mental prison for 6 months
Freddy: well I suppose the best thing to do is tell her what happened, but change a few details
Gregory: (soft sigh) I guess, if you really think this will help you
Vanessa: it will (giving a soft smile while ruffling Gregory’s hair)
The 3 proceeded to continue searching on the computer until Gregory noticed something
Gregory: Hey, how about this one
He pointed at a well rated Therapist Website: In Sound Mindfulness
Freddy then closed his eyes as his System/Processor’s began looking up this website
Freddy: oh, it seems this Therapist Site is well Recommended, good for us then
Vanessa then proceeded to press the link and began searching, soon she saw the Head Therapist: Clarissa Smith.
Vanessa: well, her reviews are pretty good, guess she’s the one
Vanessa then proceeded to press her tab (I don’t know how searching for therapy works lol)
Vanessa: alright should I call or just leave an email
Freddy: well you are going to be talking to her in your Sessions so Calling her would might be much more Efficient, plus it will give you a chance to know her a bit before your Therapy Meeting.
Gregory: he’s makes a good point, and it’ll be kind alike practice before actually going for your Sessions
Vanessa: (small sigh) ok, I’ll call her and Schedule a session
Vanessa proceeded to get her phone and dial the number, after dialing the number she waited only then to immediately have her call answered, shocked Vanessa nearly dropped her phone but catches it and proceeds to answer
Vanessa: uh hello
Office Lady: Hello, is this Ms Vanessa Arrington Speaking
Vanessa: um, yes, this is Vanessa Speaking, is this Mrs Clarissa Smith
Office Lady: oh no, I’m Ms Smiths Assistant, she’s currently busy, I understand that you would like to book a Session
Vanessa: yes, if that’s ok with her
Office Lady: yes that’s quite alright, now let’s see
The lady on the phone then was quietly humming for a few seconds, Vanessa assumed she was doing something important as she could hear her on the computer
Gregory: what’s taking so long 🤨
Vanessa put up her Index finger to her mouth and quietly made a shushing noise as she then patted his head
Gregory: 😑 mmm
Officers Lady: alright, is your schedule open for next Sunday
Vanessa: oh, yeah I’m free on Sunday
Office Lady: great, how does 9:00 AM sound
Vanessa: sounds good, I’ll be there
Office Lady: alright then, Ms Smith will see you then, goodbye (call ended)
Vanessa: (breath of relief) well, everything’s set now
Gregory: next Sunday huh? That’s just 3 days from now
Vanessa: I know (said with a somewhat nervous expression)
Freddy: do not worry Vanessa, 3 days will be more than enough time for you to prepare
Vanessa: (nervous laughter) I sure hope so
As the next 3 days passed Vanessa could barely focus on anything other than what was to come, a part of her was ready to start but at the same time she couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious worrying that what happened during her last therapy sessions will happen again.
Soon enough Vanessa alarm clock began beeping as 6:00 AM began flashing, Today was the Day, Vanessa got up - helped Freddy make Breakfast - and then spent the rest of her time getting ready
Vanessa proceeded to Shower - get Dressed in a White/Green/Pink Striped Sweater with Dark Pants and then started Packing her Bunny Backpack
(Sunday 7:00 AM)
Vanessa: ok I think I have everything I need (she says as she ties her shoe laces)
Freddy: ok, it’s 7:00 AM, you should make it their pretty early
Gregory: I still don’t know about this, can’t you just do your therapy online or something
Vanessa: I mean I could, but I think going in person would be much more beneficial
Gregory: well yeah but, I just have a bad feeling about this
Vanessa then faced Gregory and placed a hand on his head
Vanessa: I know your worried Brownie Bean, I’m worried too, but I know this will be good for me, besides I won’t be alone (pulls out phone) Sylvie will be with me
Sylvannia: thats right
Gregory: (deep sigh) fine, but just promise me to be Careful
Vanessa: I will, I promise
Sylvannia: Boss, we should probably head out now
Vanessa: ok, I’m off now, I’ll see you guys later
Vanessa was about to open the door but then she turned around
Vanessa: before I go, just one last goodbye
She proceeded to hug Freddy and then hug Gregory and gave him a Gentle Forehead Kiss, she then went over to the door
Vanessa: ok bye now for real
Gregory and Freddy both said bye as she opened the door
She waved at them with a soft smile as she got to her car, she then proceeded to drive off
During her drive she had this Nervous and Somewhat Scared look on her face
Sylvannia: Just relax Mrs Arrington, try to remain Calm and it should all go well
Vanessa: I know, it’s just that, all my Previous Therapist, they all disappeared, one of them was even found, dead
Sylvannia: you never really told me about this Vanny person, who was she
Vanessa hesitated for a second before answering Sylvie’s Questions
Vanessa: she was, basically my Dark Side, she hurt me, and she hurt so many people, I still remember everything she did
Sylvannia: wow, that’s, a lot
Sylvannia: but it’ll be ok, the Therapist will be able to help you, and I know it will work
Vanessa: hehe, thanks Sylvie
After the Conversation Vanessa could see the Location, she soon parked her car and checked her phone
Sylvannia: it’s 8:00, were a bit early, why don’t we wait a while
Vanessa: sure, just make sure to keep track of the time
Sylvannia: you got it
Vanessa tried to relax and clear her mind, soon she started to get a little sleepy and dozed off a bit
(Suddenly)
Vanessa’s head started throbbing, her entire body felt cold, she was in a dark Hallway/Corridor unable to see anything
Vanessa: what, where am I
It sounded like her voices was echoing off the walls and hall, her vision started to blur a bit but then she heard a voices in the distance
Vanessa: hello, who’s their
No one answered but then Neon Red lights started flickering on and off and in the distance she saw a figure in the shadows
Vanessa: I know someone’s here, come out and show yourself
Vanny: if you insist
Soon Vanessa’s ears were assaulted by loud Screams - Screeches and Laughter
Vanessa was shocked to see Vanny (Again), she closed her eyes while telling herself what she was seeing isn’t real
Vanessa: this isn’t real, none of this is real
Suddenly it went quiet and when Vanessa opened her eyes, vanny was gone, or so she thought as she heard a whisper from behind
Vanny: Peekaboo
Vanessa then felt a sharp pain coming from behind as she groaned in pain and saw that Vanny had cut her with a kitchen knife
Vanessa suddenly started losing her strength and fell to the floor, soon Vanny grabbed her by the collar of her shirt and picked her up and slammed her to the wall
Vanny: HAHAHA, I can’t believe how easy it was to catch you off guard
Vanessa tried her hardest to resist, she pried at Vanny’s hands but to no avail, she closed her eyes with a Fearful and Frustrated Expression
Vanny: Aw, I just love that look on your face, knowing theirs no escape, at least your able to recognize my Superiority (Crazy Giggle)
Vanny: I do hope you keep making this fun for me
Vanny’s grip tightened as she started to raise her other hand with the knife, Vanessa felt like her entire body was going numb, unable to do anything to get out of this situation as she started hearing a voice
???: Vanessa
Syl: Vanessa
Vanessa: what-
Sylvannia: MRS VANESSA
(Suddenly)
Vanessa eyes suddenly opened as she woke up and checked her surroundings, she was still in her car in the parking lot of the Therapy Office, she then heard Sylvie
Sylvannia: Vanessa, it’s 8:59, its time
Vanessa looked at her phone as she did her best to regain her composure while putting a hand to her chest
Sylvannia: is something the matter
Vanessa: no, I just had a strange dream was all
Sylvannia: do you want to talk about it
Vanessa: maybe later
Sylvannia: if you say so
Vanessa proceeded to grab her phone and exit her car and walk towards the front entrance, she opened the door and saw the front desk with a women sitting their, she proceeded to walk up to the lady and saw a name tag that said: Johana Houser
Vanessa: um hi um Ms Houser, I’m Vanessa, I’m here to see Ms Clarissa Smith (she said in a somewhat Nervous Tone)
Johana: ah yes, Vanessa, your here early (in a Joking/Teasing Manner)
Vanessa: hehe, yeah, I just figured getting here as soon as possible would be more efficient 😅
Johana: I’m just joking 😁, please follow me
Vanessa then Followed Johana to a room and waited as she waited
It didn’t take long, suddenly Vanessa heard her name being called
Clarissa: Vanessa!
Vanessa wa s about caught off guard about how sudden it was
Clarissa: come in
Vanessa then walked in the room and looked around
The room was quite Spacious, the Walls were a light blue and had pictures of Art and Culture, the Window showed the Beautiful Blue Sky - White Clouds and Bright Sun, they’re was a small Table between a Brown Hair and Couch, on the sides of the room were a few Desk - Tables and Shelves with different Books - Papers and what looked to be a Ballerina Music Box
Clarissa: Hello Vanessa, it’s nice to meet you, how has your day been
Vanessa: hi, uh it’s nice to meet you too, my days been quite alright
Vanessa was focusing very hard on Ms Smith, she noticed her Yellow Amber Eyes and Yellowish Blonde hair, her hair looked a bit like Vanessa’s but Vanessa’s hair was more Lighter, she was wearing a Green Shirt under a Purple Jacket while also wearing White Pants, what seemed to attract Vanessa’s attention the most was the Beautiful Silvery Heart Pendant that she was wearing
Ms Smith was nothing if not Beautiful, she looked like a Gorgeous Supermodel or even a Noblewoman, she looked to be in her Early to Mid 20s but Vanessa wants t entirely sure
Johana then proceeded to leave, closing the door behind her, the sound of the door closing brought Vanessa out of her train of thought and she started to focus again and sat down
Vanessa: sorry, I got all little Distracted their, hehe 😅
Clarissa: oh it’s quite alright, anyway, why don’t we begin
Vanessa stood their with bit of a confused look on her face, Clarissa seemed to take notice of this
Clarissa: is something troubling you Vanessa
Vanessa snapped out of her daze
Vanessa: huh, oh no, nothing, it’s just, aren’t you going to record this session
Clarissa: oh no, that won’t be necessary
Clarissa: so, what made want to seek me for Therapy
Vanessa was quiet for a second thinking of what to say
Vanessa well, the thing is, i guess i was just ready to get some Professional Help for my Issues again
Clarissa: I see, that’s nice to hear, is their anything in particular that’s troubling you
Vanessa found herself distracted again by the Pendant she was wearing
Clarissa: Vanessa, are you ok
Vanessa: huh, oh sorry, I was just a bit distracted by your Pendant
Clarissa: oh, this old thing, it was an gift from my Husband, he never told me where he got it from though
Clarissa the flipped the paper she was holding and looked at it
Clarissa: so I heard that you were originally working from home, but you recently started working at, Silver Parasol, I that’s the name right
Vanessa: hehe, yeah that’s right, I figured I should get back out their instead of just staying at home
Clarissa’s that’s good to hear, you must really enjoy your job
Vanessa: hehe, yeah, I do (Vanessa felt a bit Nervous and Flustered), I guess it’s mainly because my friends also work their so I always feel Safe and Comfortable
Clarissa: you must have really good friends
Vanessa: yeah, It wasn’t always like that, I kinda use to just be by myself, not many friends and I didn’t have my parents around
Clarissa: yes, I heard about that, I’m sorry that happened
Vanessa: it’s ok, I did have my Aunt to took care of me, but she’s no longer around anymore either
Clarissa: yes, what happened to her was Tragic
Vanessa: uh but I still do have Family
Clarissa: a Cousin or distant Relative Presume
Vanessa: um, well I do take care of a kid who lives with me now
Clarissa: Huh, I wasn’t aware you were a mother
Vanessa: 😶😳, WHAT, oh no, well I mean, I’m his guardian but uh, I never really considered myself Motherly Material 😅
Clarissa: any reason why
Vanessa: well, I’m sure he doesn’t really see me like that, I’m probably more like Nanny Material
Clarissa: I see, any other family
Vanessa: uh well I do have my Father Figure/Role Model, they help me out alot
Clarissa: that’s nice to hear, how about any friendships
Vanessa: well, a year ago I did make 3 friends in particular, they really helped me out when I was going through some stuff
Vanessa: I also have a friend name Luis, he’s Nice and Funny ☺️
Clarissa: oh well that’s good
Clarissa: alright, why don’t we move on to the next question
Clarissa: so I was told you wanted to see me to help with something you were going through, Correct
Vanessa: yeah, it sorta started back when I left- my old job at the Mega Pizzaplex
Vanessa: around the same time as, the Pizzaplex Incident (trying her best to keep her Composure)
Clarissa: oh yes that’s right, I heard about that, it was quite Tragic, I can’t imagine what was going through people’s mind when it was over
Clarissa looked back at her paper
Clarissa: so I was informed that you used to have previous Therapy Sessions back at your old Job, is that Correct
Vanessa was a bit caught off guard by the question as she was quiet while trying to find a proper answer
Vanessa: um, yeah, but they didn’t exactly work out, and all my therapist
Clarissa: is see, how did they make you feel, did you feel like you were making any Progress with them at all
Vanessa: well, they were trying to help me, but I guess I never really felt like I was really getting anywhere with those Sessions
Clarissa: I see
Clarissa: so from what I heard, all your Previous Therapist went missing around that time and one of them is- no longer around, this seems to have happened around the same time Local Residents began Disappearing
Vanessa could feel her Anxiety start to build up as she was getting a bit more nervous
Vanessa: it’s, it’s something that I don’t really like talking about (her voice was began to get quieter and shaky as she could feel her eyes watering)
Clarissa: Vanessa, if you don’t want to talk about this it’s perfectly fine, but i do think we’ll make much more progress if you allow yourself to open up, remember these sessions are just between the 2 of us, theirs nothing to be afraid of (says as she places a comforting hand on top of her hand)
Vanessa looked at Clarissa, she didn’t really understand but something about Clarissa’s presence made Vanessa feel very at ease, she wiped her tears and tried to regain her Composure, she knew she could Trust her
Vanessa: (what do I tell her, I can’t explain the whole Vanny thing)
Vanessa: the truth is (she hesitated)
Vanessa: I was being, targeted by this Person (her voice becoming more and more shaky)
Clarissa: Targeted, by Who
Vanessa: she was, a Former Coworker I knew, her name was uh, Giovanni
Clarissa couldn’t help but realize that Vanessa seemed to be shaking up a bit, her tone was completely different from before, she also felt like what Vanessa was saying about “Giovanni” wasn’t completely the full story
Clarissa: I see, and how did she make you feel when it was over
Vanessa stood still feeling more Nervous and Anxious then before
Vanessa: I felt, Destroyed, and Devastated
Vanessa: she wasn’t just a Monster
Vanessa: she was this ever looming Presence that- I just could never get away from (she struggled to speak while Tears started to pour)
Vanessa: everything that she did, all the it was all just to Torment me (more tears came as the Memories Flooded her Mind)
Vanessa: she Hurt so many People, (hic), and for what, just because she wanted to Hurt me
Vanessa: she (Small Sniffles and Hics), She just wanted to watch me Suffer (as she lowers her head and wipes her face with her hand)
Clarissa was taken aback a bit by Vanessa’s words, she helped patients with many problems but for some reason she couldn’t help but feel that Vanessa’s case was far more, Personal
Clarissa: that, must’ve been really hard for you to tell
Vanessa wiped her remaining tears and her crying was reduced to simple sniffles
Vanessa: I just can’t help but feel, like it’s all my Fault
Vanessa: after everything that happened, I’ve had these, Terrible, Terrible Thoughts
Vanessa: Thoughts on doing things that I would never do
Vanessa: and what if things didn’t go the way they did, if she got her way
Clarissa: if I may ask, when this Giovanni person went away how bad would you say your Experience was
Vanessa was a bit confused by the Question but she answered as best as she could
Vanessa: well (sniff), I was sort of closed off and I had trouble not thinking about what happened, I had Terrible Nightmares and I sorta tried avoiding people
Clarissa: and those are completely Understandable Response’s
Vanessa: (sniff) what do you mean
Clarissa: listen Vanessa, I won’t lie and tell you that I understand your feelings or that what your feeling will just pass, because I don’t and I likely never will fully understand what you went through
Clarissa: but what I will say is that even if you may not feel like it, you’ve come a long way from where you were
Vanessa: you really think so
Clarissa: I know so
Clarissa: Tragedy often makes people feel Lost or Hopeless, the way I see their are 2 ways people take Tragedy
Clarissa: you can either choose to Ignore it, and try to Suppress it and try to forget all about it until it eventually it comes back to bother you all over again
Clarissa: or you can choose to Embrace what happened, to Learn and Grow from it so that when you find yourself in a similar situation you no longer feel Helpless or Afraid
Clarissa: that’s what I think, of course
Clarissa: and always remember, even when you feel like your alone and theirs no point in trying, it’s always ok to try and Find Comfort in those you Cherish in your Heart
Vanessa seemed to find a shimmer of hope after Clarissa’s Words, she couldn’t help but think back to everything that happened after she was freed, if Vanessa had been all in her own this whole time she probably never would’ve been able to improve her life, but she knew she wasn’t alone
she had a Protective and Headstrong Bestie in Nora, A Comedic and Goofy Friend in Tristan, a Stubborn and Helpful Friend in Daniel, a Supportive and Caring Partner in Luis, A Guardian and Role Model in Freddy and a Chaotic but Loving Child in Gregory
If it hadn’t been for them she probably wouldn’t have been able to move on in her life
Vanessa smiles softy as she felt her Anxiety and Nervousness start to go away
Clarissa: are you feeling alright Vanessa
Vanessa: yeah, I’m feeling much better now, thank you Ms Smith ☺️ (Soft Genuine Smile)
Clarissa: well I’m glad I could be of Help to you
Suddenly the 2 of them were caught a bit off guard when a ringing sound started
Clarissa looked at her watch and was a bit surprised
Clarissa: oh well look at that, I guess our session is over, felt shorter than I thought
She proceeded to get up and walk to the door
Clarissa: well Vanessa, I hope this Session was able to help you, I feel like we made very good Progress
Vanessa: I think it did, thank you again
Clarissa: it was nothing, Anyway, will you be Scheduling another Session
Vanessa: sure, when are you next Free
Clarissa: let’s say, next Week
Vanessa: sounds good
Clarissa: good to hear (she proceeded to open the door and let Vanessa out)
Vanessa: goodbye
Clarissa: bye, have a nice rest of your day
Vanessa proceeded to walk back to the front entrance as she waved to Johana
Vanessa: bye and thank you
Johana: goodbye, see you next Session, have a nice day
Vanessa proceeded to walk out the building with a Smile on her Face, even thought this was just the first session she really felt like things were finally looking up
She got back to her car and got back on the road
Sylvannia: so how did it go
Vanessa: hehe, it actually went a lot better then expected
Sylvannia: really, well that’s good
Sylvannia: glad to see that you actually like you seem to be Comfortable with Therapy now
Vanessa: (Small Giggle) me too
(Later)
Vanessa made her way back home, she parked her car in the drive through and got out the car, she walked to the front door and proceeded to open, when she opens the door she was surprised when she was grabbed into a hug by Gregory, the kid excitedly looked up at her
Gregory: Vanessa, your Back
Vanessa: Hehe, hey their Gregory, what’s the occasion, your usually pretty chill when I come home
Gregory: I just, missed you was all 😒
Vanessa: aw, I missed you too Brownie Bean (she says as she ruffles his hair) 🥰
Freddy then came a greeted Vanessa
Vanessa: Welcome home Starlight, how was your Therapy Session
Gregory: yeah, how was it
Vanessa: well
Freddy and Gregory: 😶
Vanessa: it actually went a lot better than I expected it to go
Gregory: Really
Vanessa: Yup
Freddy: well that’s good to hear, glad to know you’re doing alright with these Sessions
Gregory: so what are you gonna do now
Vanessa: well, I’m tired, so I think I’m just gonna go rest for a bit
Freddy: ok, have a nice rest
Vanessa: I will
Vanessa proceeded to go to her room and immediately changed into some comfortable clothing, she then got out one of the notebooks and proceeded to make a list labeled: New Self Care Routine
Gregory: whatcha writing
Vanessa was shocked when she saw Gregory beside her bed, she didn’t even hear the door open
Vanessa: geez, don’t scare me like that ya little Monster 😅😁
Freddy: cmon Gregory give Vanessa some Space
Gregory: hehe I will, but I wanna know what’s that for
Vanessa: well I’m sorta gonna start trying to do things a bit differently now
Gregory: Differently how ?
Vanessa: you’ll see 😉
(Epilogue)
Johana spent her time gathering everything she needed before going home
Clarissa: Checking out for the day
Johana: yup, I’ve got a date with a nice Comfortable Couch at my house
Clarissa: (Quiet Giggles), so I’m curious, what did you think of Vanessa
Johana: Me? 😶
Johana: well, she was very Nice, she did seem a bit Nervous and Anxious when she first came, Poor Girl 😔
Johana: how did the Session go
Clarissa: it went better than expected
Johana: you don’t seem all that surprised
Clarissa: you think so
Johana: just a little bit
Johana: well, I’m off, I’ll see you tomorrow, bye
Clarissa: bye
As Johana left Clarissa prepared herself to go home, she got to her car and drove off, while on the road she was listening to Classy Ballerina Music
Soon enough she made it to her home, as she opened the door she was greeted by a Cute - Furry Little Cat
Clarissa: Hello their Midnight, did you miss me
Midnight: Meow
Clarissa: I missed you too
Clarissa proceeded to go to her bedroom and as she entered she noticed that her Silver Heart Pendant began Glowing a Dim Light
Clarissa: ah no, not now, you were supposed to be fully charged
Clarissa then looked into a mirror to see herself out her finger onto the Pendant as it started glowing brighter
For a split second in the mirror the reflection revealed a Glossy White/Purple Ballerina looking robot as she proceeded to fix it, then she reverted back to herself
Clarissa: I just need, a little more time (as her Voiced changed from a completely Normal to a somewhat Electronic and Monotone Tone)
Ballora: and soon enough, Like Always, Everything will work out in the End
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the
Organization for Transformative Works
Short work but I actually had fun writting it. I have taken a different approach however, Gregory does not travel to 1980s, he travels two years before to stop the events of SB from happening (Its really an interesting concept that it can be its own AU)
