Chapter 1

Finally Book 3 is out! And it's been a while but it's finally out after a bunch of problems which had to be sorted. Hope you enjoy this first chapter!

Her eyes opened after what seemed like hours since she got murdered. Was she alive?

She felt stranger than normal; in fact, she didn't feel anything at all! Maria looked around her and spotted Bonnie and Freddy staring at her with their robotic eyes glowing in the dim light. She sat up and spoke "I'm alive?"

Bonnie looked at her before responding "Yes…but in order to save you we had to do something…..hold out your hand in front of you."

Maria looked at him confused but moved her hand in front of her and was shocked at what she saw. It was purple and was made of metal instead of her old human hand she had. The girl had no idea how to respond other than stay quiet and stare at it. Freddy grabbed her hand and pulled her up trying to look as positive as possible. Maria stood there looking at them sadly and looked worried.

"I'm sorry Maria we weren't there to save you from him but at least you're still here with us," Freddy tried to reassure her.

"How am I an animatronic?! What am I going to say to my parents!?" Maria answered in a worried tone. The two animatronics just looked at her. They obviously didn't know what to do about it either.

"Look maybe it's better if we didn't tell them the truth, you know about you being an animatronic," Freddy suggested but Maria wasn't sure how to respond. It would be hard not to tell. "But it's not my choice."

"You're right, it is better. I'll try but it's going to be hard for me," replied Maria looking at him sadly. Freddy hugged her to cheer up.

"I'm so sorry that it all happened but we'll do all we can to help you," promised Freddy. Bonnie nodded in agreement. "Now how about we go check on Chica and Foxy? They might still be shut down." Freddy, Bonnie and Maria walked out of parts and service and walked up to the lifeless bodies of Chica and Foxy. Bonnie immediately went and switched on Chica and Foxy. After a couple of glitches, they woke up and looked around. Chica straight away noticed Maria next to Bonnie but didn't recognize her.

"Who is that?" Chica pointed out staring at the new animatronic.

"Oh um you see…..this is Maria," Chica looked at Freddy in disbelief and then he continued "She was murdered by the man so I revived her in this suit because her old body was too damaged," Chica looked at Maria for a moment.

"Is it really you Maria?" Chica asked her and Maria nodded.

"Y-yes it's me Chica," Maria suddenly realised how different her voice was but didn't bother to mention it. She was soon greeted with a tight hug from Chica followed by Foxy who were still in shock at the news they had been told. Chica backed away a little afterwards.

"So what are we going to do now? What do we tell her parents?" Chica questioned Freddy and the bear thought for a moment.

"How about we tell them what really happened, change Maria's name and…uh well tell them that the animatronic she is in has started working suddenly. Easy?" Freddy suggested and the others looked convinced.

"Sounds like a plan….but what would Maria's new name be?" Foxy asked fiddling with his hook.

"Well…I am no good with names but what about….Candy?" Maria said to them. "It's all I can think of and it's an alright…name." The animatronics nodded in agreement.

"Good name to choose…from now on we'll call you Candy then…" Freddy replied smiling at her. Suddenly, they could hear the gasps of Maria's parents as they walked in surprised to see the door of its hinges. They quickly went upstairs to see if Josh and Maria were okay. Maria went and hid in the basement until it was time to reveal herself.

Maria's Mum and Dad went to Josh's room where he was still playing video games. "Josh…what happened downstairs?" Mum asked in an urgent tone.

"I don't know what you're talking about?" Josh replied looking confused.

"But the front door is broken…you should know what happened," Dad pointed out but Josh shook his head.

"I didn't know it was broken. Maria would know as she was downstairs the whole time you were out," Josh explained which made them both look worried. They quickly ran downstairs and went to where the animatronics were waiting for them. Freddy kept thinking about what he would say to them.

"Freddy…where is Maria?" Dad asked in a rushed tone.

"Um…well...when you were out…something happened," Freddy replied nervously.

"What exactly happened?" Mum folded her arms.

"Well…um…you see…this guy bursted through the door as you probably noticed the door was broken down," The two listened carefully as he continued ", and then he used this device to shut us down quickly which lasted for around two hours…and then we woke up finding Maria was…."

"Was what?"

"Murdered…" Mumbled Freddy making it loud enough for them to hear. Mum looked horrified.

"That can't be true…prove it," Mum said to him.

"If you really want me to…okay," Freddy hesitated a moment. Maria's mother already looked extremely upset. After a while, he finally led them to the parts and service door. "Are you sure you want to see this?" The parents both slowly nodded. Freddy opened the door and switched on the light revealing the room. Maria's father looked around with a disgusted yet upset look on his face. Maria's mother started crying with her hands buried in her face as Dad went over and comforted her with hugs.

Freddy felt awfully guilty. "I'm so sorry…"

"We'd better get out of this room and discuss what to do," Dad said and mum wiped her eyes before walking out. The two went upstairs to their room to talk about everything. Freddy decided to clean out the room which took a while before heading to see the others again who were down in the basement doing stuff.

"How'd it go Freddy?" Chica asked him.

"Well…I'm not sure…Maria's mother burst in tears…and her father wanted to talk with her about it upstairs. But overall, I think they are definitely shocked about the situation."

Maria's ears slowly lowered as she thought about what her parents would be feeling now should she tell them? Freddy looked at Maria with a concerned look. "You okay Maria…or…Candy? You look upset…what's wrong?"

"I don't know if I should tell my parents or not now. It's going to be hard seeing them upset. If they knew i wouldn't have to go through that. What do I do Freddy!?" Maria explained.

"Well…that's a decision you have to make. It isn't up to me or anyone else. Just you."

So sorry for taking SO long. It's been a busy time. Sorry if this chapter seems rushed at all. If it does feel free to mention in comments so I can perhaps improve/update chapter again. Anyways thanks for reading!
