This chapter came out way better than expected but it's not the best so don't make proper judgements until the next chapter
Let's start this story with a typical it was a stormy night.
Rain splattered to the ground and the clouds hung their heads and their mood worsened. Now you and me wouldn't want to be in such weather, and most families that night were all curled up in bed, cosy and warm with stomachs full of satisfying dinners. But unfortunately, the beginning of this story won't be about these happy families but instead about two figures running outside. Mud splattered up their legs as they ran and the cold winds blowing seemed to be enough to blew them into the sky. They were the height of children, and they certainly were, one was a good 10-20 inches tall and the other, and was practically dragging the other as they ran.
''Come on, just a little longer, they'll tire out eventually,'' murmured the taller one, still dragging the other behind.
You see, the two won't quite alone as they ran through the deserted streets that night.
Behind them,perhaps a little too close for their liking, was a bunch of animatronics. They were tall, strong and did not have the expressions of somebody who only wanted to invite the children for a nice cup of tea.
''Foxy, I'm g-getting tired,'' said the shorter one to Foxy, who was still gripping his younger sister's hand determinedly.
''Mangle, just a couple more minutes, they'll leave us alone, I'm sure of it!'' said Foxy to Mangle, smiling at her with a brave look in his eyes. This made Mangle feel a little better and she tried even harder to keep up with her brother, clinging to his whole arm instead.
''Ruddy children,'' they heard one of the animatronics mutter, ''Always so resistant.''
''We promise we won't hurt you,'' said another, ''We just want a friendly chat.''
Mangle and Foxy both shared a 'seriously?' look at each other . Mangle of course, turned around to face the man, a buff, tall wolf with violet eyes and stuck her tongue out. The wolf growled and muttered a word I have decided not to include for the benefit of younger readers, and reached out to swipe at the pink and white vixen. Mangle gave a little yelp as a lot of her fur flew into the air and a long cut appeared on her arm. Foxy, being the protective older brother, swept Mangle straight off her feet and onto his back. Mangle knew this was causing more strain on poor Foxy but kept silent and tried to distract herself from the throbbing pain of her arm.
Almost there Mangle, almost there... she kept repeating to herself. But it was always an alarming sound to hear your enemies laughing. And that was just what was happening. A blinding light was starting to fill her eyes and she nuzzled into her brother's back for comfort. Foxy looked around but was not greeted with a pretty sight. Now chasing them was 45 animatronics on motor bikes, 20 in cars and helicopters fluttered over head. The number of animatronics chasing them on foot hand doubled too, or perhaps even tripled.
''What's going on?'' mumbled Mangle, still shielding her eyes.
''Um... nothing! Nothing at all!'' said Foxy quickly.
How far will they go to catch two kids!? Foxy thought, picking up his pace.
But they were catching up. Helicopters were shining down beams of light right down on the duo, making it almost impossible not to spot them from a mile away. Foxy gulped and found himself gripping Mangle even harder. The group had been after them for weeks and Mangle and Foxy had scars, cuts, bruises to prove it.
But now they'd finally be caught, it would be a several seconds until they'd be captured and taken to who knows where. I've failed... Foxy thought, tears brimming in his eyes. But God himself must've thought OH HELL NO at the scene as Foxy witnessed a miracle. A dark alleyway, too narrow for bikes or cars and had a makeshift roof, meaning the helicopters could do nothing to help. They could throw the runners off!
Foxy pulled Mangle off his shoulders and began to run faster and faster...
They turn a sharp turn and crashed into the alleyway.
''Ow...''
Foxy forced himself to his feet and got Mangle up too.
''Mangle this is our chance!'' said Foxy.
Mangle gave a huge sigh of relief and began to run without Foxy saying anything. Foxy laughed and began running too, the enemies on foot animatronics were still coming so the two kept going, tired as death and feeling they would collapse at any moment but they had finally had hope and it seemed everything would be-
''Not so fast.''
The children looked up to see another group standing in front of them. They'd taken another route.
''You know,'' said one, the scariest looking and standing at the front of the room, definitely the leader, ''You kids have really caused us some trouble, fleeing the scene every time. Dumb luck I suppose, but luck doesn't last forever, does it? 'Cause it certainly seems you two aren't feeling particularly lucky right now. But eh, at least we've got something to smile about, this is gonna make my day.''
The leader reached out towards Mangle. Foxy pushed her behind him protectively.
''Aw sweet,'' cooed another, a cheetah with a scar running down her left eye, ''The lil' pirate is protecting his sister like a good boy, but for someone as precious as him, you'd think he'd be able to protect one little girl?''
''He's a great brother!'' yelled Mangle, sticking her head out.
Foxy wasn't listening anymore though, he was too busy thinking. Behind the gang was the end of the alleyway, a port actually, if they just could... Foxy's eyes widened.
''Mangle keep them talking,'' Foxy whispered to Mangle.
Mangle gave a confused look but nodded.
''So um... who are you guys anyway? I mean we should at least be able to know, right?''
''Well, we're Shadow Fang, this group I mean, our organization is called Porpra...''
As the gang went on, Foxy looked around, thinking harder than ever... A few crates were piled on eachother... The rain was pounding down hard... The helicopter lights were blinding... There was a brick...
Foxy squeezed Mangle's hand twice, their secret sign to show to get ready for something...
''CHARGE!'' screamed Foxy, dashing forwards.
Mangle uttered some sort of war cry and charged with head first like a bull, the the animatronics clearly not ready by their expressions.
Foxy kept running towards them and pulled dout the bottom crate from the pile. CRASH! A good quarter of the 'tough' animatronics sprawled on the floor, cursing and moaning in pain. The others tried to grab the two but Foxy was too quick and pulled Mangle onto the floor. The floor was slippery from the rain and they slid straight through one pair of legs with no problem. They continued running and the gang ran forwards, but some slipped in the rain and some tripped over those on the ground. Foxy scooped up the brick on the floor and flung it at the roof. It went straight through with a 'pop' and landed elswhere. The helicopter's beams of light came throw the hole as the two ran off. ''AH!'' they could hear some yelp as they were blinded.
''Almost there!'' yelled Foxy, almost crying with happiness.
''WHOO HOO!'' sang Mangle.
They needed to jump the fence and scramble into one of those giant cruise ships, they were so close! Soon they'd be able to start anew. The fence was getting nearer and nearer... Both of them leapt forwards and clung to the fence as if for dear life. They both began to scramble up, Foxy was good at this, having a lot of practice from all the trees he'd used to climb when they their parents were still alive. Foxy sighed at he memory of his dad showing him the best ways to climb trees, and used his feet to give him a boost and made his paws into hook shapes to use them almost like grappling hooks. He pushed himself up with his feet and pulled himself a couple inches, then he repeated. The top was in sight, soon he'd reach-
''FOXY HELP!''
Foxy instantly whipped around, almost falling off in the process, to see Mangle far behind with a man gripping her ankles, attempting to drag her down.
''One's better than none...'' they muttered, with a malicous smile.
''THEN LET'S HOPE NONE IS STILL GOOD!'' screamed Foxy.
He jumped straight off and landed on the man's head, causing the guy to let go and stumble back a few steps.
''I AM THE BEST BROTHER,'' Foxy yelled picking up Mangle and climbing back up.
But then he felt someone clinging to his legs and he almost lost his grip, causing Mangle to hug him so hard he could hardly breathe. But she started flailing her legs around trying to kick off whoever was clinging to her brother. Foxy looked at her but then caught sight of what was happening below as he tried to drag himself up.
It seemed everyone in or on the cars and motor bikes had joined the chase and it seemed 30, 40 animatronics were trying to drag them down or knock them off or anything which would mean capture for the young duo.
You'd think he'd be able to protect one little girl... one little girl... the words echoed in Foxy's head.
He stared at Mangle, who was still trying to fight of everyone who was dragging Foxy down. Foxy loved Mangle more than anyone else, even his closest friends, even his own parents. The cheetah was right, what kinda brother would he be if he couldn't protect his own sister? And he knew how... The top of the fence was low enough to...
''Mangle...'' said Foxy.
''Yeah?'' said Mangle.
''I love you, and you are allowed to hate me for this...''
Mangle had no time to reply before she was lifted up high into the air and chucked straight over the fence. She just managed to catch a glimpse of her brother, not trying to climb up, but trying to fend them off.
He was trying to give her time to escape.
''FOXY!'' she screamed as she landed on the other side.
She began to try climb up to reach Foxy, to tell him to run, to show everything would be alright as long as they stuck together, to tell him she'd always love him, no matter what.
''Mangle run!'' she heard Foxy yell from the other side.
''I can't leave you!'' she yelled back, continuing climbing up.
''Mangle this isn't the time to bes stubborn! We'll both get caught! Run away, I'll be fine!''
''You promise?''
There was a silence.
''I promise Mangle! We'll meet up again, come to the place where it all began, I'll be there, cross my heart and hope to die!''
''And Foxy...''
''Yeah?''
''I love you.''
''I love you too lil' sis, now RUN!''
Mangle, with tears spilling down her cheeks leapt back to the ground, scraping her knees.
''Remember your promise big brother...'' she whispered.
With that, she ran off into the shadowy streets.
First chapter done! I wanted Foxy's and Mangle's parting to be as emotional as possible so I hoped my attempt of that was good enough! I have a good idea of the plot, but if you've got anything at all you'd like to contribute, even if it's a line you want a character who hasn't even showed up yet to say, tell me below in the comments!
P.S The next chapter will take place 7 years after the parting, Mangle will be 16 and Foxy 19.
Thanks for reading!
