The 'puppet' side of him

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Travis sat on another tree, waiting the morning out. He had gotten back his music box from Sunset and wound it up for the night, not falling asleep, but looking at the moon. He took the mask out of his hair, looking at it. Hating that he was a puppet. Hating that he had no freedom. Hating that people were able to pull on his strings, and that he couldn't do anything about it. He put the mask back where it was, hoping not to touch it again, and hoping that it wouldn't take control of him. But the only way to prevent that we to wind up the music box, and just wait it out. He put is knees to his chest, and started crying.

"I wish I could just go home...." He sat there on the tree, waiting out the night.

"Hey Travis." It was Sunset. He needed to clean up fast.

"Yes? I'm kinda busy right now." He wiped his eyes, getting the tears on his sleeve so that he wouldn't be caught crying.

"I just want to talk with you. It will be quick." She climbed up the tree, sitting right next to him.

"Are you okay?" He nodded.

"Listen, I think today was just confusing. Tomorrow will probably be better." She looked down at him.

"Maybe we can all hang out tomorrow Travis. Me, you, and my friends." He shook his head st this.

"They all think I'm a freak. I'm a dead person anyways. But as soon as the man's dead and I give the children cake, I will be out of your hair." She looked at him, extremely confused. Cake? Is this what killing him was about?

"Well, revenge isn't always as sweet as it looks." They stared at each other.

"What do you mean? My death will be avenged. His killing spree will be stopped." He looked down.

"I have to save them...." He looked at Sunset with tears in his eyes. She felt bad for him.

"Well.... forgiveness is always tough, you know?" She looked him in the eyes, seeing sadness.

"I used to be a terrible person, but that's where my friends came in. They helped me realize what friendship is." Travis looked at his right hand, it being completely black.

"What happened to your hand?" She grabbed it, feeling that it was warm, unlike when she first shook it. It felt... Alive.

"This is what happens when the music box plays." He touched the back of his hand, feeling the smooth, black skin.

"It goes out of control when the whole song plays on the music box. It's also extraordinarily painful." Sunset felt his hand, feeling terrible for unwinding his music box when he was strangling that student. She would've been better off if she just forced him to let go.

"Yeah... Sorry about that." He put his hand in one of his pockets.

"It's fine. You didn't have any other choice but to play the music box." She smiled at him, suddenly getting an idea.

"I have an idea!" She hopped out of the tree, falling on her feet.

"Tomorrow, me and my friends are going to take you somewhere. You should get some sleep." He looked at her and shook his head.

"I don't sleep. I wait out the night." She stared at him with a grin plastered on her face.

"Well, goodnight then." She ran to the nearby house where her friends were hosting a sleepover, when she realized that she forgot something.

"By the way, my friends don't think you're a freak. They're just a bit confused. Goodnight!" And with that, Sunset left him on the tree, just staring into the sky...


The next day...

"Well guys, we're here!" The 7 friends were in front of the one and only 'Fredbears family Diner'. It was Saturday, so they were free to do whatever they wanted. Sunset told them about her idea, which they were a bit uneasy about, especially since she told them how Travis can get out of control.

"What are you waiting for guys? Let's go in!" They walked in and sat at a table, when they saw a robot bear coming to their table.

"May I take your order?" It said. They started ordering food, but Travis was deep in thought.

'Why does this feel so familiar? Why am I having Dejá vu?' A sudden memory flashed in his head. The slit in his throat.... He looked out to the door, seeing that a man dressed in purple... was killing a child.

"No..." Sunset looked at him uneasily.

"Are you okay Travis? You seem a bit uneasy..." He ran away from the table and went outside to see a dead child laying there.

"Travis! What the- oh no!" She knelt down in the pool of blood.

"What in tarnation is goin on out-" Applejack was taken by surprise by the dead body lying on the floor. As the rest of her friends came out, they were also taken by surprise. Fluttershy fainted from the sight of blood, Rarity covered her mouth. Pinkie Pie vomited in ANOTHER nearby trash can, while Rainbow just stared.

"Travis, what happened? Do you know who he is?" Travis stared at the body.

"It's me..." Sunset was shocked to hear this. The music box started playing.

"Travis, you need to wind up your box. You're gonna get hurt if you don't!" Tears were falling down his face.

"It's me..." Sunset stared at Travis, wondering why he kept on saying it.

"IT'S ME!!!" He shouted, blackness covering him. It consumed his whole body, except his mask. White pupils appeared in the masks eyes. It finally took him over. He turned into the puppet.
