Chapter Text
‘Well that was a terrible experience.’ Sitting down on a dirty log, William Afton felt like shit after that so-called trail he experienced. ‘I can’t believe I'm trapped in an endless hell where I’m chased by a killer and one of those killers is my son.’
“Aw what’s wrong Willy?”
‘I was wrong, this is the real hell.’ Turning over to stare into the shaded glasses of the man who helped guide him through said trial, William felt his lips curl into a smile. “Why Ace, I didn't think I would be seeing you so soon.”
Laughing off William’s words the gambler took a seat on the log. “Come on now Willy you know I gotta check up on you. After all this was for your first time in a trial and I gotta say despite ending up on a hook you handled yourself pretty well I must say.”
“Well it was thanks to your guidance that I was able to get through it.” Putting a hand on the Ace’s dirty shoulder the serial killer watched as the gambler bashfully rubbed the back of his head at the praise he received. ‘Acting just like a dog that’s been told it’s a good boy.’ William idly thought
“If you keep that up I might start blushing Willy.” He commented despite the fact that he was already blushing. “But still you shouldn’t give me too much. I wasn't that helpful.”
“Come on now Ace.” Dwight commented from across the bonfire. “William’s right if it wasn’t for you guiding him back there who knows how the trial would’ve gone he probably would’ve been sacrificed to the entity back there.”
“Yeah but he did get hooked back there after we finished that gen and I ran off like some coward.”
“No worries dear Ace.” William assured him. “I-I was just caught off guard by the killer is all and I had a moment of weakness that he capitalized on so don’t beat yourself over it.”
“Don’t worry about Mr. Afton.” Claudette spoke up as she regarded the older man with kind eyes. “You should’ve seen the way Dwight acted when we first got brought here.”
“Can we not mention that right now please.”
“Heh heh, alright Dwight.”
Laughing alongside Claudette and the others, William regarded them with warm eyes as his thoughts swirled. ‘I can’t believe I’m stuck here with these morons trying to survive in this horrid place and for what! I bet the fools haven’t even bothered with looking for a way out of here, too obsessed with all this comradery to even get off their ass!’
‘To think after all the work, all the money and all the blood on my hands has led to this!’ Sitting down as he appeared relaxed to the other’s, William looked up at the orange sky and cursed the God who brought him here. ‘Just you wait I’ll escape from this place and finish what I started back in my world, I shall become immortal!’
