Chapter 4
~~4 months in~~
I couldn't sleep at all tonight. Actually, I couldn't sleep the past week and have been only getting about 2 maybe 2 ½ hours of sleep. This isn't good for my healthcare. Especially for the baby that will be joining this world soon.
I sat up quick with my eyes open wide and my heart beating fast. I was panting and panicking about what I had happened. I've been having different nightmares back to back, but it always ends with our little child dying brutally. I hate it so much!
"There is always a way for us to get the baby. There is no way you will be able to save her once born!"
"You really think your brave? How pathetic and outrageous of you to think that! Very funny."
"Oh what's that? Are you begging us to spare the little ones life? Ha! Your so weak and pathetic!"
The screaming and crying of the child is so audible as the guy cuts into the little ones fragile body. You would be able to hear her cries for help from miles away. Balls of tears erupted from my eyes, there was nothing I could do to safe our daughter. I am so so so sorry Lefty! I couldn't safe her. I am a horrible parent!
"Crystal!" Lefty called my name out. I guess I didnt realize he woke up. He put his hands on my face and wiped the tears that I never knew were there, closing my eyes. "What's wrong?" I sighed, tears coming and going. "I had the same nightmare again. It felt real." I slammed my head into his chest gently, while he rapped his arms around me for comfort.
"I couldn't safe her Lefty! I felt so horrible..." I cried. "Babe, you are alright. Your not a horrible person. Our daughter is safe and sound. Nothing will come and hurt her. Your brother's my siblings and I will always have your back. If we ever needed help we will call for it! I know the other's would love to help. I promise nothing will happen." Lefty reassured; calming my racing heart down.
'Trust what you believe is true!'
'You can't escape! No one can!'
'Don't worry, everything will be perfectly fine.' An evil laugh is heard after the last voice in the fare back of my mind.
"Crystal please stop crying." He hugs me and gives me a kiss on the cheek. "I love you and our daughter equally. Nothing will change that. You have to trust me that everyone that loves you and supports you will always be there to protect you."
'Not on the day of our return.'
I pushed the voices in the very far back of my mind and tried ignoring them. "Please don't tell anyone any of what I have been telling you." I plead him. "I won't. I promise, but how long are you gonna keep this up? They all are already suspicious about your mood, the way you have been acting, and i think they can tell your really tired. They are gonna want to know why your like this at some point." I sighed and nodded knowing he was right.
How long was I gonna keep this up? I guess however long it takes for this nightmares to go away.. but when will that be? Another week? Months? Years? No one knows. I just kept cuddling with my husband pushing the thoughts away. I want to sleep, but that won't happen. I sit up, out of Lefty's reach; getting off the bed and out of the room.
My tummy growls as it is egered to get filled up with food. I sighed and walked downstairs to find something to eat. Once I get down the millions of steps, I turn to walk to the kitchen, but stopped immediately as to see someone, wait two people on the couch sleeping. Gold and Shadow. I sighed quietly walked to the kitchen turning the kitchen light on to see what I was doing; hoping that I didn't wake them up.
I looked at the time on the microwave; it's says that it's.. 3:53?! Wait why this early!? I should of- I calmed myself down before things got worse and looked around for something small to eat.
It feels like I haven't eaten in over a few days.
It's because you haven't!
I started crying to myself silently. I really am a horrible mother. Even if the baby isn't born yet, if I don't take good care of myself, she might not make it after birth. I grab a box of the honeycomb cereal and the milk. Making myself a bowl and then going to the table to eat.
"Hello?" Gold called out from the living room. "Anyone there?" Shadow's harsh voice was heard afterwards. "Don't worry. No one broke in." I told them, taking a bite afterwards. "Crystal? What are you doing up so late?" Shadow asked normally as her voice as gained itself over the few words that were spoken.
I froze, not knowing what to say to them about my sleeping routine that has been happening the last week.
They came walking into the dining room and sat right next to me. "Crystal? Why are you so tired?" Gold asked worriedly. I didn't say a thing nor did I look at them. I just looked at my lap, not wanting to eat anymore. "Crystal please tell us what is going on. We want to help." I shook my head no. "Why not?"
I started crying again after calming myself down. "You won't understand!" I slightly yelled, hoping I didn't wake anyone else up. Lefty was the only one that knew that I was awake. "Is everything ok down there?" Another male voice was heard. I really hope it was my other brother, but I couldn't lie to myself about who it was.
"Springtrap. We need to talk. Get Lefty and you guys come down" Gold stated. "Will do." He called back and left walking back up the stairs. I just sighed. "You are going to say something or I'll ask Lefty too. One of you has to spill out what has been happening to you." Gold harshly stated. Shadow just wide eyes him in suprise and then slapped him on the arm, "that is no way you treat your sister like that!" She called out. He didn't do anything, but sigh.
I glared at him really wanting to grab the bowl and break it upon his head. My heart broke into pieces but I didn't breakdown crying. Two pairs of feet came downstairs and into the dining room. I had stopped glaring at Gold and have been looking down.
"So what was it that you needed to speak to me- I mean us about?" Springtrap asked. "Crystal." Gold replied with a bit of an attitude.. not that I can tell if it was ment to be one or not. "What do you mean?" Lefty asked. I could tell he was nervous, not wanting them to know since I've asked him to keep it between us alone.
"Something is wrong with Crystal and I know you know something about it! So spill it!" Gold was getting unpatient. "Gold, the yelling is not needed." Springtrap stated calmly, not wanting to make the problem more of an issue. "Lefty, what is wrong with her?" Gold didn't yell but his voice was harsh. I looked up, seeing that Lefty was keeping eye contact with Gold. "Well?" My brother growled.
Nothing was said. He didn't want to upset me. I understood, but Gold's behavior is so unnecessary. He just glared at my husband for far too long which made me angry.
I stood up almost hitting my stomach on the corner of the table and having the chair fall back, hands on table and having everyone's attention at this point. "FINE! If You Want To Know What Is Wrong With Me So Desperately, Then I'll Tell You!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.
They were all looking at me with sorrow and fear, "I haven't been Getting enough sleep lately, having nightmares of my daughter, Our Daughter Dying", referring to Lefty and I, "and haven't been eating the past few days! If You want To Yell Then Yell, But it isn't gonna Do you no good To yell at Me, your sister! You yelling at me is Basically Yelling at your niece that will be joining us soon in this dangerous World! Be Happy You Got Your Answer and Have A Good Day!" I ranted about what has been happening to me the past week because someone was so desperate to know, so I told them.
Now walking out of the dining room and back upstairs to my room. I slammed the door and laid in bed. There is no point on going back to sleep.
~5:21am~
~No One's POV~
"What the hell Gold?!" Lefty growled.
"What?" He looked at everyone as if he didn't do anything wrong. Shadow got up, picked up Crystal's chair, placing it back to it's original state; grabbed her bowl of cereal and took it to the sink.
"What.. What? WHAT!? Is this how you're gonna act after she left?! Acting like you did nothing?" Lefty yelled. "Boy's.. Blank and Midnight are up stairs sleeping! This little bickering between the two of you is not needed. You both are acting like 5 year olds. Grow up!" They both stopped talking. Springtrap left and went to go see if Crystal was ok. Wanting to comfort her.
~Springtrap's POV~
I knocked on her door. "Go away.." she called not wanting any visitors. "I want to talk, please." She didn't respond right away, giving her a minute, she then says "ok." Before I opened the door, Blank came out of her room. "Spring.. is everything alright?" I shook my head. Couldn't hide the truth. There was no way around it. The yelling woke her up. "What's wrong?"
"I'll explain it later. Please go back to sleep. At some point in the afternoon, I'll explain what has been happening then." She nodded and went back to her room. I finally walk into my sister's room and closed the door behind me. The lamp in the room was on in the far back corner, illuminating some light.
Crystal was sitting on her bed, legs crisscrossed and her head and arms on her belly. I came up to the bed, sat next to it and hugged her. "I'm sorry for how they were acting. If you didn't want us to know then I would understand your reason, but with what has been happening, I know now. I'm glad you told us. You need the care. I know your in pain, but please there has to be a better way for you to sleep and get yourself back into a normal routine. Whether you're sleeping or not." I told her. She was leaning against me, crying.
She nodded, "you're right, but having to find a way to go back to sleep is hard and you know it." She told me. I sighed, not knowing what to do. This was hard. There was nothing more I could say so I just sat here, comforting her.
Knock knock knock
"Come in", I called out. Lefty walked into the room. "Is everything ok?" He asked. I looked down at my sis and slowly shook my head no. She was still hurt and broken. This was literally the first time gold has ever yelled at her in a long time. Lefty just sighed and leaned against the wall, "I'm sorry for how I acted. That was my fault."
"N-no.. I-it wasn't.." Crystal's voice cracked as she spoke, "it wasn't your f-fault." She was still hold me. Not wanting to move away. She felt safe in my arms, away from anyone that would lash out at her at any given time. "It kinda w-" I sighed and Crystal cried, but she spoke once more. "S-stop pl-please... it hurts me.." she stops to catch her breath, "it hurt me to k-know, that your blaming y-yourself."
I looked at Lefty and he was looking down, sad as ever. "Come here." I told him. He looked at me confused as to why, but came regardless. Sitting down beside me, I picked up Crystal and moved her over in between us both. From all the crying from Crystal that was caused from what happened downstairs, she was tired as ever and had fallen asleep on the bed in between us.
"Poor girl.. she's been through to much in her life as it is." Lefty sighed. I nodded in agreement. We as a family are now more responsible for making sure she stays healthy and ok, for her and the baby's sake. "I'm gonna leave you guys. Let you rest and her too since she needs it a lot." I told him, leaving.
~Lefty's POV~
I watched as Springtrap left, closing the door softly behind him. I turned back, looking at my love sleep so peacefully. I lay down next to her and fall asleep within seconds. Hoping that whatever is to happen, does happen again.

~Flashback to when she had one of her Nightmares~
Lefty and I are walking down the sidewalk letting out daughter see the outside world. As we are walking to see Springtrap after so long, we had to stop to get some supplies for our daughter. As Lefty is walking around to get some diaper and baby food for her, I walk around finding some clothing for her to wear for the next few days.
"Thses are so cute, what do you think of them sweetheart? Want the panda or-" stops midway of her sentence while looking at her empty baby wheelchair shocked out of pure horror. She looks up all around her and then sees a guy in the corner of her eye run by with her daughter.
Screaming and running after him, she tries so desperately to keep up with them, "GET BACK HERE!!" Lefty starts following her quickly, panicking and is wondering what is going on. "Crystal, hon. What's wrong? Why are you chasing-" he then sees why and gets angry but worried at the same time.
Then out of no where they dissapear. "Nooo!" Crystal cried out. Lefty hugged her and tried to confront her. Grabbing his phone he calls the police, telling them all about what happened.
A few months later there was a knock at their door. Lefty went to answer it while Crystal laid down on the couch cuddling with her daughter's stuff teddy bear she got for her birthday.
"Sir, is there a problem?" Lefty asked worried.
"Yes. Mind if we talk to you outside?" The cop asked. Lefty nodded, "Crystal, I'll be right back." then walked outside with them. Crystal only sighed in defeat and cried once more, knowing that her daughter is in danger and she couldn't do a thing about it.
A few minutes later, both the cop and Lefty walked inside. She looked at both the men and had a worried, yet tired and depressed look on her face. "Ma'am.. I'm sorry to brake it to you, but.." the cop stops for a second taking a deep breath before continuing. Lefty comes back to sit next to her. Lefty didnt look ok, as if he was heartbroken. "You're daughter.. we found her."
"You did!? Where!? Is she ok?! Where is she at Now?!" Crystal asked suprised and relived, only for it to hit her like she got back stabbed in the heart, "she isn't here with us anymore. We found her buried." The cop continued. Crystal started crying once more walking away wanting to be alone for the rest of the night. Both men talked for a bit longer before the cop left.
Lefty didn't know how to confront his wife anymore. There was nothing that could replace their long lost diseased daughter. Nothing.
~Flashback ends~
