I opened my eyes and saw darkness again. Oh, no; was I back in the scary nothingness I started in?? Before I could think too much about it, I felt something in my hand. It wasn't soft, like the Freddy teddy. It felt like...my flashlight!

I turned it on and looked around. I was in the living room, in the same spot I was in when I fell earlier. When that red fox scared me...

I wondered what time it was. How long was I asleep? Didn't I have to go to school? I slowly stood up and walked to the front door. That's when I heard the whistle.

I turned around and didn't see anything. Was I imagining that? Maybe, but I'm not sure what's real or not anymore. That's when I heard it again. It sounded like it came from the hallway with the four doors and the chair at the end.

Using my flashlight, I quickly walked over there and saw nothing. It looked just like it did earlier, only darker. I shrugged and started to walk away. That's when I accidentally kicked something under my feet and heard a loud OUCH.

I looked down and saw what looked like one of my friends on the ground, but it wasn't one I remember seeing before. It kinda looked like Bonnie, but more yellow. And torn up. And evil.

It then looked at me with its eyebrow-less face with a smile. Most people wouldn't be happy after being stepped on, I would think.

"Hi there!" it told me with a loud, squeaky voice.

"Uh...hi?" I replied.

"Hey, why so nervous?"

"Um...because you look..."

"Scary?"

"...yeah."

"Don't worry, kid. I'm not gunna hurt ya!"

"Really?" 

"Really! As long as you play my little game and play it right!"

"Game? What game?"

"Well, I assume that's why you came over here, right? So you could play my game!"

"No, I came over here because I heard whistling!"

"That I made because I could tell you wanted to play my game!"

"Huh?"

"Look, kid, do you want to play or not? Because if you don't, I'm gunna have to hurt you."

He said that last part with his super-sharp teeth in a giant grin.

"No! Don't hurt me!" I screamed as I felt my tears come back.

"Sheesh, kid! Relax! I'm only kidding. Or am I...?"

"Okay!" I told it as I wiped my eye. "I'll play!"

"Hooray!" the yellow bunny said as it jumped with joy. "Now, let's start by introducing myself. I'm Spring Bonnie, but you can call me Plushtrap."

"That's a weird name."

"Well, it's the one you created, kid!"

What did THAT mean??

"Anyway, on to the game, which is easy! I'm going to sit in that chair over there," he explained as he pointed at the end of the dark hallway. "When I say 'go', I'm going to slowly make my way to the X on the floor!"

I shone my flashlight on the floor and saw a giant white X at the end of the hallway. How did I miss that earlier?

"All you have to do to win is stop me when I'm on the X!" he concluded.

"How do I do that?"

"Your flashlight, silly!"

"Huh?"

Plushtrap just rolled his eyes and shook his head. 

"You know, that stick in your hand that omits light?"

"I know what a flashlight is!" I snapped. "But what does that have to do with stopping you?"

"Easy! When you shine your light at me, I'll stop moving!"

"Really?"

"Would I lie to you, kid?"

"I don't think so..."

Of course, I'm talking to a toy with sharp teeth and claws.

"Good! Now, do you understand everything?"

"I think so."

"You sure? Because most people don't understand what they have to do the first time they play this game. Something about how I explained it too fast."

"Just flash my light to try and stop you when you're standing on the X, right?"

"Wow! You're smarter than most adults!"

He than ran towards the end of the hallway. He practically almost disappeared instantly. 

"Okay, kid!" he called out. "When I say 'go', you'll have 90 seconds to try and win!"

"Okay!"

"Oh, and it's worth mentioning that if I make it past the X and you don't stop me, I'll have no problem ripping your face off!"

"Wait, what???"

"Okay! Let's begin in 3...2...1...GO!"

I quickly gasped and instantly shone my light down the hallway. I saw Plushtrap sitting in the white chair at the end, staring towards the floor with a scary glare. I turned the light off and waited. 

I waited for what felt like 10 seconds before shining my light again. I saw him on the ground, in front of the chair; however, he jumped back onto the chair when my light went on. I turned the light off again and sat quietly.

After what seemed like forever, I thought I heard fast scurrying on the floor. I turned the light on and I saw Plushtrap in the middle of the hallway, but he dropped to the floor when the light went on. It was like the light turned him into a normal toy.

I turned the light off again and waited to hear more movement. How long IS 90 seconds, anyway? It sounds like a lot, so I think I have a lot of time.

I sat there waiting for what seemed like forever. I didn't hear any movement, though. Was he going slower this time? Was he on the X and I'm not realizing it?? I turned the light on and saw he was still in the same spot he was in last time, only standing up. Sure enough, he dropped to the floor again. I groaned and turned the light off.

Suddenly, I heard really fast running again. I turned the light on and I saw Plushtrap duck into the front doorway on the left! I gulped and turned the light off again. He was that much closer to the X. He was also that much closer to eating my face...

I then heard the fast moving again. I held my breath and turned the light on. When it was on, I gasped with excitement! He was standing over the X and he fell on top of it! I then saw a smile on his face and he looked at me.

"Great!" he told me. "You win!"

"What do I win?" I ask.

"The greatest prize in the world: you get to keep living!"

The bright light returned and I scrunched my eyes shut.
