Notes:

ive been wanting to put this story on ao3 for a short while. it used to be a more wattpad exclusive story because i wasnt fond of ao3 at the time, but now im porting the shadow watchers over to ao3 so more users can enjoy it
i started my work on shadow watchers many years ago, all the way back to middle school. i used to upload more often but after years of working on this, ive lost motivation due to completing school, and working at a fast food joint. i hope to be able to write more chapters for you guys to enjoy

Chapter 1: prologue Chapter: awake

Chapter Text

I was in my laugh house ...i don't know what went wrong...why does everything hurt?

Molten?

Freddy?

Where did you go...why can't I see anything???

...ever since bad things happened in the park i became scared to leave the laugh house...every time i left...i got scolded and told to return back to the laugh house...where i was supposed to be safe....but i dont feel safe

I feel scared...alone...lied to...

Where's molten....why isn't he here....why did he leave...did he not want to be friends?

.

.

.

Why?
Everything soon became loud...i could hear...i felt like i was being held in someone's arms...who...what's happening...why does everything hurt...i dont wanna die

"Please don't die on me, i've already lost too many people at this point"

A voice...molten's voice...

"Lefty...lefty...lefty please...Lefty"

Why is molten sad...im right here...why can't i move...why can't i talk...why cant i speak...

"Hes-...hes not coming back...that thing knew to stab at least, huh-"

"Im sorry." another voice said...Baby

"Stabbed him right though his memory core...down the rabbit hole...and now i am all thats left..." Molten said

All thats left...im dead...im dead...why am i dead...what did i do...im scared

"Everyone i know...has died once....e-even him..." molten said...confirming my death

"You're not even the real elizabeth..not anymore" molten said

"I may not be, but i still remember everything" baby replied

It became silent for a second...

"Lefty's gone...he was like a brother to me" molten said

"I know..." baby mumbled

"I think i've just lost..everything" molten muttered....

Molten sounded like he was crying...dont cry....dont cry...im right here...why cant i get up and hug you....

"I think..this is what they call sadness" molten said before chuckling as he tried to cry "i cant even cry, but i feel the need to!" molten laughed..."he's really gone...isnt he..his systems are damaged beyond repair..it wouldn't matter what i do if i repair him...its like- hes like a whole new person...no memories...new personality- nothing...would kinda like to see what would that be, huh?" molten suggested...

I dont wanna be replaced...i dont want to be rejected...we already argued about this once...i dont want to be left behind and replaced...

I felt numb...i can't hear anything anymore...molten...baby...where did you go

Moments passed of nothingness...like a void...i then...woke up..i woke up...im alive..i could move and see...

I was on a hill side...right outside the park..i looked at my hands...glowing pink and sparkly...like a portal...portal...

I looked down to see a headstone...a wooden cross with a picture of me and molten together...from the old pizzeria...they buried my body...im a spirit...what? How? Why? Im not human...not like freddy, not like molten, not like baby, ballora or afton...

I ran down the hill, going through the wall of the park...it felt like shivers as I passed through the wall...like a ghost. Weird- i ran to the laugh house, soon getting inside and running through the doors, trying to look for glass...something reflective...why doesn't the laugh house have reflective shit here >:(

I ran out of the laugh house and to a bathroom...soon seeing myself in a mirror...I looked different...my hat, bow, and...button star? That's not a button sewn onto my chubby body...its a cracked gem looking star...it was pretty

I tried removing the weird replacement but it was glued to my chest like it was super glued on...or like...i don't know

I tried removing the star, but my paw pads quickly turned yellow, soon shocking my chest like a taser...but it looked like anime lighting

"OW OH MY GAD-" i shrieked

I looked at my plushie hands before trying to do what i did before...and like again, my pink paw pads turned gold and little lighting strikes went all around my palms..i managed to turn that off, thinking to never do that again

I looked at the mirror again...looking at my features...my missing eye was...missing and replaced by a white X...i looked like vaggie from Hazbin Hotel now. My actual eye though...it was there...but different...my pupil and iris were gone...my entire eye looked the way moltens red eye looked...just without the lines or pupil...just..orange..my red rosy cheeks were still there...but my six freckles, eye brows, and nose were red...

"What am i..." i mumbled as i put my hand on the mirror

As i kept playing around with whatever i was now, i saw molten walking past

"Molten, I'm here!" I said with joy

I ran up to hug molten but my body...phased through him...molten didn't even flinch or shiver...molten was just hunched over, looking like he still wanted to cry his eyes out and holding his arms...

I felt my robotic heart drop...molten doesn't know im here...he doesnt know im okay...

We haven't talked in a long time...last time we talked...i snapped at him for...what felt like being ignored...abandoned...for not talking to me or even showing up to my birthday...he was always too busy with jon...or something else to ever hang out with me...he was always around baby or jon...but never me...

I can still remember the hurt look on my face before I had locked myself in the laugh house to cry my heart out..even if i didn't have tears...i didn't know that would be the last time he would see me...and we left it off at such a bad note...i'll bet he even blames himself for my death...because i snapped at him

This is probably the most hurt he's been in a long time...losing another friend he was attached to...

As i sat in silence, i heard a yell..an angry yell before someone ran at me and tried to choke me

"You little shit!"...shadow freddy

"Wha- HUH-" i yelped, not knowing what to do

"Why are you still alive!" Shadow Freddy yelled...demanding answers

Even though he looked different...his eyes white, his hat and bow were the same...but no buttons on his chest...he had a gem on his chest too...a fire shaped gem? His arms were purple fading to black like mine...only i was pink.

"A-alive!? Im not alive!" i yelled before pushing the shadow off me

"How does that even work" shadow freddy growled

"Um...portal?" i replied

"Portal!?" shadow freddy questioned

"Look man...i don't get it either...earlier i tried to hug molten...to tell him i was here..but...i can't touch him...i don't know what to do" i said

There was an awkward silence before Shadow Freddy sighed

"Alright...since we can't do anything anymore...then we can just camp out in that shack where you make horrible jokes-"

"HORRIBLE JOKES!?" I yelled, cutting off shadow freddy

"Shut it, pinkie pie!" shadow freddy yelled "as i said, we camp out in the laugh house and figure out a way to turn normal again"

"I dont think thats possible" i muttered

"What do you mean?" shadow freddy asked

"My body was buried..and I'm here...as if i'm not in my body...molten said my systems were damaged beyond repair and my memory core was jacked up....oh no my pokemon...MY TWITTER!?" i yelled, realizing what this meant

"Calm down...i think figuring out how to be normal is more important than your pokemon and twitter page" shadow freddy said as he smacked me

"Sorry" i muttered through his hand

"So...what are we exactly?...i think you would know since your boyfriend molten knows everything" Shadow freddy stated

"Boyfrie-...im not even...i dont know what we are...but um...we're all black...portally..cant talk to anyone or touch...how about shadow watchers" i suggested.

"Works...now lets plot so we never have to see each other ever again...i hate looking at you" shadow freddy said coldly

"You're so mean" i whined

"And you're an idiot" shadow freddy said back

This was going to be my life now...i just hope i can get to molten...to let him know im here..im okay...to hug him

Don't worry big brother...ill be back soon...i hope
