The Claws Are Out
Chapter 1: Twins
Almost everyone has a large dream, something they want to do with their lives and plan to accomplish no matter what challenges they face along the way. Some dreams may impact more than just the person, maybe even a whole town, and eventually even bigger areas. However, some goals can enable negative responses that could harm the dreamer both emotionally and physically.
At one time, two cats were planning to make a big business in the restaurant industry...though with deadly consequences. At their house, a 16 year old blue cat wearing a red tie and red blushes on his face was looking over several blueprints he made for his future restaurant called "Candy's Burgers & Fries". His twin sister, a 16 year old purple cat with pink blushes came over with a glass of milk.
"You still trying to figure out how it will be designed?" She rolled her eyes.
"Yes I am...I'm very confident about this." He said.
"Candy come on, it's been like 2 hours now, time to put that stuff up and go to bed already. It's almost 11:00!"
Candy sighed and sat down the blueprints on the table in front of him.
"I'm sorry Cindy...I just want everything to be perfect for us."
"I know you do, you can look back over them tomorrow. Mom said she'd take us to Fredbear's Family Diner in the morning and I want to be well rested."
"Fine, fine, coming."
The two cats hugged before heading upstairs to their own separate rooms to get some sleep. But Candy couldn't sleep, he tossed and turned and finally stayed awake. He was just too excited to get started on the business, but he would have to wait for many years before it could come true...he was still too young. He also knew there would be competition, especially from an annoying bear he knew all too well...a bear named Freddy Fazbear.
The bear also had plans to make his own restaurant in the future. His older brother Fredbear had already partnered up with a bunnie named Spring and the two had started a business called Fredbear's Family Diner. The two sung and told jokes while the workers served everyone food and drinks. It was the main place where Candy and Cindy often went to discuss their plans while enjoying the stand-up comedy that Fredbear and Spring did on the stage. Fredbear wasn't fond of Freddy harassing the two cats and often scolded him or humiliated him at the diner.
Candy hoped his restaurant would become a big success...however...he had no idea what it would spark, a mixture of pain, regret, danger and just a little bit of happiness...at least for all the little children. The next morning, Candy and Cindy's mother dropped them off at Fredbear's Family Diner to go over their newly designed plans of their company, Fredbear and Spring were already at work entertaining the few children there right now.
"Hope you all have a very Fazbear day kids!" Frebear tipped his hat to the kids.
All the children cheered and clapped while Candy and Cindy walked in eager to get to their seat. They locked eyes on the performing duo who waved at them and the cats waved back before taking their seat. Candy spreads out the blueprints and grins wildly.
"Finally, I think I got the final setup for the restaurant, and I know the perfect location which I will show you later. What do you think of this?"
Cindy took note of the many different party rooms, the large bathrooms and even the massive show stage where he would hire some of his friends to perform and maybe build animatronic versions of themselves. Candy rubbed his paws together and he saw the smile grow on his sister's face.
"It's very nice Candy...we just got to be able to afford all of this." Cindy tilted her head.
"I know, but we've been saving up a lot of money, we'll make enough, plus some of our old friends agreed to help us out."
"True...it's been awhile since we talked to them."
"I'll call them up later."
"So where's the location gonna be?"
"Well, I thinking that big empty space a few blocks down from here, no one has decided to claim it yet, and I think it's ours for the taking." Candy slammed a fist on the table.
"Heh, you're so eager, that's what I like about you brother...and I'm with ya all the way!" Cindy smirked.
The two fist-bump and laugh, however their fun was interrupted by a certain brown bear.
"Oh I'm sure your business will succeed Candy, even if you keep changing your plans and locations so much."
"Ugh...Freddy Fazbear." Candy bared his fangs.
The dark brown bear wearing a tophat and bowtie like his older brother came over grinning evilly and stopped in front of the cats. The felines had enough of Freddy's bullying.
"What do you want this time Fazbear?" Cindy growled.
"Oh just seeing the blueprints for myself."
Freddy snatched one of them away before Candy could make a grab for it and the bear immediately laughed.
"Hah, you call this a setup? It looks so pathetic, even I will have a better setup." Freddy scoffed.
"It's a perfect setup thank you very much." Candy hissed.
"My dear boy you need to try again...or get better eyes." Freddy teased.
"Why you-"
Immediately Cindy got up and faced Freddy who was stunned at first as she ripped the blueprint from his hands and slammed it on the table.
"LISTEN FAZFUCK, YOU BETTER GO AWAY BEFORE I POUND YOUR FACE INTO THE GROUND!" Cindy threatened.
"I'd like to see you try kitty." Freddy growled back.
Candy figured this was really unnecessary and wanted to stop it. Fredbear and Spring glanced over while watching over the kids.
"Cindy lets just go, he's not even worth it." Candy stood up.
"You'd only say that because you're a coward to face a tough bear like me." Freddy scoffed.
"Hah, as if." Candy rolled his eyes.
"Then why you got your sister fighting your battles?" Freddy argued.
Before Candy could speak, Cindy shoved Freddy.
"Because I choose to fight whoever messes with my brother, and he'd do the same for me." Cindy sneered.
Freddy just rolled his eyes and groaned, he was tired of all this stalling...so were the golden duo.
"Spring, I believe my brother needs another humiliating lesson." Fredbear smirked.
"Indeed Fredbear, shall we give it to him now?" Spring asked.
"Yes we should."
Fredbear tapped his mic a few times before speaking to everyone there.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe my little brother would like to perform his popular tap-dancing routine for you all to enjoy!"
All the lights went out and a spotlight shown on Freddy immediately making him whimper in fear.
"Oh no, not again." Freddy said.
"That's what you get!" Cindy smirked.
All the kids ran to grab Freddy and take him to the stage despite his many protests. Freddy knew he was a good tap-dancer, but to do it in front of everyone at the diner was so embarrassing because then he would mess up and everyone would laugh at him. This only fueled his anger for the cats even more. He managed to turn to Candy and mouthed "I'm gonna get you" before turning his attention to Fredbear who was holding up some shoes.
"Care to entertain the crowd for a bit?" Fredbear evilly grinned.
"Uh...uh..."
"DANCE! DANCE! DANCE!" The kids cheered.
Spring looked over the cats holding a thumbs up letting them escape. Candy gathered up his blueprints and they raced outside. Reaching the sidewalk they stopped.
"Phew...that was close. I wasn't looking forward to seeing the fight between you and Freddy." Candy chuckled.
"Why you think I would lose?" Cindy asked surprised.
"No I never said that."
"Remember I train in boxing, wrestling and karate. You really need to sign up for this stuff too!"
"No thanks, I can train myself."
"Says that cat who loses every time we spar."
Candy nervously rubs the back of his head nearly dropping his blueprints. He looks down the road to see the large empty space between two buildings.
"Come on, I wanna check out the space."
"Whatever subject-changer."
The two walked over and Candy observed the area, it looked just about right. A large clearing of grass and there would even be enough space for something extra next to the building. The two buildings to the sides were a barber shop and bakery which were still good in business.
"This is perfect! Though now I'm wondering if we'll end up rivaling Fredbear's Family Diner." Candy wondered.
"Probably, but at least it'll be a friendly rivalry...unlike our one with Freddy. I bet he'll build his stupid pizzeria as the same time you do." Cindy growled.
"Well I'd welcome some competition, this just means we need to be as clever as ever."
"You can always count on me for cleverness."
"When can I not?"
Cindy chuckled and punched him in the arm making him wince.
"Ow...felt like a brick hit me."
"You're just weaker, come on let's get to the gym to work out...you could use it."
"HEY!"
Candy chased Cindy down the street towards the gym. Cindy was a big tomboy with the love to fight and get into dangerous situations. Candy was the opposite with a hate for fighting and preferred to stay out of trouble. But like Cindy, he could still hold his own, though not as long as her. He thought it was a little unusual of how much she worked out, it was no wonder she always had that hour-glass figure. The two had a rule when it came to fighting. Use only fists and feet, only use claws in desperate or deadly situations". This stuck with them throughout their life and not once did they ever had to use their claws on somebody, and thankfully not each other.
When they arrived at the gym, they saw they were the only ones there...that was perfect for Cindy. She honestly cared for Candy's dignity so they'd spar whenever no one was around. Trying to avoid her, Candy sat down his blueprints on a table and sprinted to the treadmill. Of course Cindy noticed as she put on some black boxing gloves and started pounding on a punching bag.
"Trying to be slick huh brother? Afraid to get your ass whooped every time?" Cindy teased from the ring.
Candy rolled his eyes as he started to run and increase the speed.
"No...I just would like to run." Candy lied.
"Sure..."
Candy ignored her and began to daydream about their future. He thought about the smiling children, the delicious food, the scowl on Freddy's face...the...bloodshed? Candy quickly opened his eyes nearly tripping off the treadmill.
"You okay over there?" Cindy asked.
"I'm fine." Candy nodded.
He continued to run and think back to his corrupted thought. Business looked like it was going great, many customers, kids being entertained...but something else wasn't right. Candy found himself in a hallway of his restaurant following a mysterious trail of blood. He couldn't even tell where it started as he couldn't even try to turn around. Suddenly he hears a loud scream from his sister.
"CINDY!"
He races around a corner and sees Cindy standing and covered in blood, but she wasn't hurt.
"CINDY WHAT HAPPENED?" Candy asked.
Cindy just pointed behind her to a pile of dead human bodies, about 6 of them, 2 of them were kids. The pile ended the trail of blood and Candy hugged Cindy tighty getting covered in blood too. Cindy looked up and gasped.
"CANDY LOOK OUT!"
"WHAT?"
Someone comes up behind Candy and smashes him in the head with a baseball bat.
BAM!
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"
Candy jolts from his daydream and slips right of the treadmill hitting the ground hard causing Cindy to come rushing over with the gloves still on.
"CANDY YOU OKAY?" Cindy panicked.
Candy rubbed his head where a bruise was present on his forehead.
"I'm okay, just had this weird daydream, I hope it wasn't foreshadowing." Candy feared.
"What happened?"
"We were in our restaurant, and there was a trail of blood, I followed it to you where there was a pile of dead human bodies behind you. Then someone hit me with a bat."
Cindy was surprise but didn't think too much of it, maybe he was just tired. There was no way something like that could ever happen.
"Huh...well maybe you need to stop thinking about the future, you're going in too deep."
"I guess so, it seemed pretty stupid."
Cindy was not surprised that Candy just laughed the thought away...he always did that. Cindy helped him up before showing him an evil grin.
"I think you need to fight out that dream of yours with me." Cindy said.
"What? No I-"
Cindy pounded her gloves together and growled.
"Come on brother...I'm not giving you a choice."
"You may be stronger but I'm faster."
"Yeah but I can easily get to your blueprints and rip them up."
"WHAT? YOU WOULDN'T DARE!"
"You sure about that?"
Candy hissed at her but Cindy rolled her eyes.
"Look brother just one quick match, no face-hitting."
"Ugh...fine."
Of course Candy immediately regretted following Cindy to the gym. Almost as soon as he put on some black boxing gloves, Cindy had taken a swing and punched him in the chest.
"HEY! I'M NOT READY!" Candy growled.
"Too bad so sad!" Cindy hopped in place.
Candy hissed and the two began to playfully box only hitting each other in the chest and taunting each other. Candy always got his fighting lessons from his sister though she didn't always go easy on him, this was one of those days. The whole time Candy kept getting hit and never landing a punch on Cindy. After about 10 minutes Candy fell to his knees in exhaustion.
"Ugh...can we take a break?" Candy asked.
"Aw come on...just one more minute, look I'll go easier on you." Cindy spread out her arms to the side.
Candy was skeptical...surely she wasn't serious.
"I know you'll just block everything I do."
"No seriously...go ahead."
Candy stood up as Cindy just stood there smiling. Maybe she was telling the truth this time, he didn't know until he tried. The two squared off before charging at each other, Candy was planning to block Cindy's first punch. But his plan came crashing down when he slips right into Cindy's incoming fist and instantly receives a black eye as he falls to the ground.
"OH SHIT CANDY I'M SORRY!" Cindy yelled.
She picked him up and saw his swollen right eye. Candy groaned in pain as he stumbled back a few times.
"Ugh...I slipped." Candy nervously chuckled.
"I think that's enough for today, we need to get home now." Cindy said.
"Yeah, I need to take a good cat nap."
"Was that supposed to be a joke?"
"No."
The cats took off the gloves and Cindy grabbed the blueprints before they headed outside. Upon leaving, they saw what looked like Freddy storming down the sidewalk red in the face and fists clenched tightly.
"I guess everyone laughed at him." Candy smirked.
"Seems like it...hah pathetic." Cindy shook her head.
That's when Freddy noticed them and gritted his teeth.
"YOU DID THIS! THEY ALL LAUGHED AT ME, IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" Freddy growled.
Cindy and Candy looked at each other in fake surprise.
"What? Us? Last time I checked, neither of us got on the stage to dance." Candy teased.
The cats laughed as they left Freddy behind, but the bear wasn't done yet. He raced up behind Candy and grabbed him into a choke-hold. Cindy immediately went to battle mode and clocked Freddy in the face hard, but Freddy remained there choking Candy who thrashed around. Finally Candy bit into Freddy's arm making Freddy release him. Before Cindy could react, Candy furiously turned around and sucker-punched Freddy to the ground.
"DAMN!" Cindy jumped back.
Freddy had blacked out for a moment as Candy was about ready to stomp the bear's head in. Cindy quickly pulled him away as Freddy began to stir.
"Come on leave him be, trust me he'll get more than that later." Cindy assured.
The two cats race home leaving a bloody-nosed bear behind growling. At their house, they saw that their parents were still gone, having gone to run some more errands. Cindy sighed as she read the note they left behind while Candy had a pack of ice on his eye. They both sat on the couch in complete silence, no TV, no light...just themselves.
"Feeling okay? You know I didn't mean to hit you that hard." Cindy worried.
"No it's fine really. I've been in worse condition before." Candy chuckled.
"You're so accident-prone I swear."
"That's me."
Cindy looked over at her boxing gloves that sat next to a closet by the TV. Since she always had a love for fighting, she thought about making boxing her own career. But at the same time she wanted to help Candy open the restaurant. She noticed Candy's blueprints scattered around the table again. Candy was busy looking at something on his phone while still holding the bag of ice.
"Hey Candy?"
"Yeah?"
"We need to talk about something."
"Sure what's up?"
Cindy swallowed, this restaurant was a big part of Candy's life, if anything went wrong he'd freak out and probably rampage until the problem was fixed...no matter how long it took. But still, she was her own person...she had other dreams as well.
"Look brother...I know you really want to make this place a dream come true...and I want to help out as much as I can...it wouldn't be the same without us together."
She paused seeing Candy's good eye grow curiously as she spoke. Was he really ready for what she wanted to say? She really hoped he would take it nicely.
"However...I also have my own plans." Cindy shut her eyes.
Dared she look at his reaction? Opening them a bit, she saw what she feared...Candy's ears had drooped.
"Other plans? Like what?" Candy asked nervously.
"Well...I thought about starting a boxing career. I mean not right now, just whenever we can come up with enough money to get me started. It's something I'm really interested in and I was hoping you'd be happy for my choice." Cindy explained.
She figured Candy was going to start yelling at her or panicking about how dangerous it was or how he felt betrayed. But she was shocked to see him slowly form a smile, his ears perking up and a flash in his good eye.
"Cindy...I'm proud of you." He said.
"What?" Cindy asked.
"You found something that could work to your advantage. I admit I'm surprised you never told me this sooner, but I'm glad you found an interest in something. Eh...I should've saw this coming. Besides, I honestly didn't expect you to only do what I wanted to do." Candy said.
Cindy grabbed Candy by his shoulders.
"It's not just what you want to do. I want this get this business running as much as you do, this is a family business, and we're family. But at the same time...I just want to try something different. Candy...if this happens, you'll support me right?"
Candy let out a laugh before grasping his sister's hands.
"Sis...I'll always be there for you, just like you're there for me. I'll happily support you in this...heh...maybe eventually you'll get to join UFC."
"Woah...that's a little much for me right now." Cindy shook her head.
"Oh come on, it would't be that bad." Candy smirked.
"Yeah, yeah it would." Cindy corrected him.
"Fine...scaredy cat!"
Cindy held up a tight fist.
"You want another black eye?"
Candy covered his face.
"NO! NO! I'M SORRY!" Candy screamed.
"Thought so...anyways...let's see what's on TV."
"Fine."
But before Cindy could turn it on, several police cars and an ambulance raced down the street. Their neighbors could be heard yelling and questioning what had happened. The cats raced outside and decided to follow the flashing lights and sirens. Up ahead they could see Freddy already racing to the scene himself. A few blocks down they could see a large fire rising from a familiar location. Freddy gasped in horror when he realized what was on fire. Some firefighters were already putting out the blaze while the police were busy clearing everyone out. Freddy, Candy and Cindy arrived to see a crowed gathered around the burning Fredbear's Family Diner. Two policeman, one human and the other an anthro dog, were hauling an enraged Spring who thrashed around. He was bruised up and a bit burned.
"THAT FUCKING ASSHOLE! I TRUSTED HIM! HOW COULD HE DO THIS SHIT! HE WAS JUST A CHILD!" Spring screamed.
The crowd was surprised by what he said...what had happened to a child? The policeman smashed Spring against a police car hoping he would calm down. They had his arms handcuffed behind his back.
"SIR CALM DOWN!" The human cop ordered.
"NO! HOW CAN I? HE KILLED A CHILD! HE KILLED HIM!" Spring snarled.
"Who?" Candy wondered.
Then came the biggest shock to everyone, especially Freddy. Fredbear was being brought out of the building by police completely battered and bruised...and what appeared to be bits of brain in his mouth with blood dripping down.
"No...I didn't...no way...I...I couldn't have done this..." Fredbear panted.
The cats and Freddy were absolutely horrified, and Freddy was the most affected.
"FREDBEAR! WHAT DID YOU DO?" Freddy screamed.
He raced towards his brother but was held back by police.
"Stay away from him!" One anthro policeman said.
"BUT HE'S MY BROTHER!" Freddy yelled.
"And now he's a murderer...I'm sorry, but Fredbear is going away for while...he deserves it for...that!"
One pointed to the body of a small human boy covered in a tarp, his parents crying out to the sky.
"No...NO...NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Freddy screamed.
He fell to his knees as the cats said nothing...they were too confused...what the hell actually happened?
To be continued...
Well this escalated quickly! Why would Fredbear kill a child? Is all the proof of his intent to kill in his mouth? Or is something else going on?
XJ-7: Its no use, he's doomed.
XJ-6: Way to look on the bright side of things.
XJ-6: There is no bright side, only darkness
Me: Damn you're bumming me out!
Jenny: It can get worse
Me: Lets hope not.
XJ-2: HICCUP *Blasts a window*
Me: And there goes my window...
XJ-7: Yep...no use at all
