AUTHOR NOTES: This is a spin off of my In Their Eyes series, the toy animatronic no longer exist, including Mangle. The animatronics are not possessed, but have been designed and built to have human emotions, and to think and feel.
The Black and Red newcomers.
I am sat in Pirate's Cove. Doing nothing, apart from staring at an item in my hands. The plushie of what Mangle would have looked like if she were fixed. I had given it to her as a present way back, about seven years ago. I wipe a tear from my eye, then think about her, think about the massive crush I had on her.
FLASHBACK
Foxy walks into the Kid's Cove, Mangle was sat in the corner, her eyes closed. Asleep. Foxy silently sits down next to her and looks at the plushie in his hands. Mangle twitches and sits up, Foxy quickly puts the plushie out of her sight.
"Oh, hi Foxy." Mangle said sleepily.
"Hi Mangle." Foxy replied quietly.
Mangle looks up to Foxy.
"Why are you not with Bonn?" She questioned.
"I've had enough of him for now, so I thought I'd hang out with you." He smirks.
Mangle looks down at herself. Then she sighs.
"What's up?" Foxy looks down to Mangle, with his head tilted. Mangle looks back up to Foxy, then back down to herself.
"Just the way I look Foxy. You always tell me I am fine but, I mean, who would love this?" She scowled.
Foxy grabs her head and makes Mangle look at him.
"You are beautiful just the way you are, don't ever let anyone tell you differently. Even if you aren't to them, you are to me." Foxy looks intently at her. Mangle's eyes lit up.
"Thanks Foxy." Mangle smiles at him, Foxy lets go of her head. He then reaches over himself. Mingles tilts her head in curiosity of what Foxy had.
Foxy grabs the Mangle plushie and hands it to her. Mangle gasps and takes it off of Foxy.
"Wow, I love it, thanks Foxy." She looks up to Foxy who was proud.
"I made it myself, all for you."
Mangle sits up against the wall so she is eye level with Foxy, she looks up to him, they stare for a moment. They lean in, then Foxy hesitates. He pulls back and brings his knees up to his chest. His ears drooped and he looks forward. Mangle tilts her head in confusion.
"I'm sorry Mangle, I'm not sure if I..."
"Take all the time you need Foxy." Mangle smiles at him, Foxy looks at her, and smiles. His ears creep back up.
RETURN
I continue to stare at the plushie in my hands.
"Wherever you ended up after what happened Mangle, I hope you are safe and happy."
I jump at the sound of my curtains opening and the overly tall rabbit walking in. I hide the plushie behind me and look up to Bonnie.
BONNIE: "Do you want to come out now Foxy? The mechanics have finished working on the newcomers."
I put the plushie in my internal backpack and stands up.
"Yeah, yeah I'm coming."
Bonnie turns around and walks out, crouching down as to not hit her head, she exits the Cove and I follow closely behind her. She walks to the left towards the stage, I look at the stage and see two figures, one black, the other red. I walk towards the stage to get a better view.
I could see the genders now, the black one was a guy, and the red one a girl. I stare at both of them, they looked like, either wolves or foxes, or both?
The black one had his eyes open, the mechanics were currently fitting his tail. He had a black coat over his entire body, not a speck of any other colour, apart from his eyes, which were a dulled grey. He had large ears across the top of his head, which the sides travelled down to the side of his head, and had very spiky hair on top of his head. He had a similar tail too. He seemed about Freddy's size, about seven foot six inches. He had similar legs to Bonnie, two knees instead of just one. Like the back legs of a dog.
The red one had her eyes closed, she was already finished. She had a strangely bright red coat, which was much smoother and curvy than the black one's body, she had an extremely similar body to Toy Chica, or Chico, as we called her, maybe even a little bigger on those areas. She had a black eye patch over her right eye, in the shape of a heart, and had long, black hair, which stopped at her waistline. The red animatronic was significantly smaller than the black one, maybe even shorter than me, she looked about six foot seven inches, I am seven foot.
FREDDY: "Seems a little, inappropriate for kids, don't you think?"
Bonnie just chuckles.
BONNIE: "Still being a control freak Freddy? C'mon, the kids will barely notice."
MANAGER: "Those were my intentions, but the supplier did go a tad overboard, yes."
We all look over to the manager, who was stood watching proudly his new animatronics. I look back over to the pair. I noticed that the red one had her eyelids open, revealing a golden eye, and she was looking right at me. I felt butterflies for a moment, then stare back at her. She closes her eyes again. I look at the black one. He was still deactivated. I sigh and go back to my cove.
CHICA: "Where are you going Foxy?"
I look back at Chica.
"I'm gonna go drown in my sorrow."
Chica sighs. I turn around and carry on towards the cove, I open the curtains and look back over to the pair. They were still non moving, but I could see the red one looking at me again, an expression of curiosity on her face. I ignore her and walk into my cove. I turn around and shut the curtains. I back into my cove, looking around at all the drawing I had made, of me, my old Toy friends, Mangle. I sigh and hit the wall, I slide down to a sitting position, still looking at all the drawings. I see a clean area, where I had drawn nothing. I twist a watch like button on my right wrist, the button pops out, I press it in, and my wrist opens up, revealing a mechanism which had my hand and my wrist, connected to my hook hand, my hand folds up and the hook rotates on a pivot in my wrist joint, my hook hand locks into place and my wrist closes up, I shake it around a little bit. Still tickles a bit. I got that modification a long time ago.
I start to scratch away the concrete, drawing a picture of the red newcomer. I sit there for a couple hours, drawing this portrait, until all the animatronics had gone to shutdown, and the manager had left after his hours of paperwork.
I stand up and admire the pretty much perfect etching of the short red animatronic, I always loved my art, it's how I was able to make the plushie for Mangle.
I stand up and stretch, I then switch back to my normal hand. Watching the mechanics working. I hear a small sound, I snap up and look towards the entrance to the cove. I stand there for a moment, I then walk quietly towards the entrance. I hear the sound again. It can't be Mike, his shift hadn't started yet, it was only eleven. Maybe someone had broken in. I exit the cove, and look around. I turn on my night vision, and look towards the stage.
The animatronics are gone?
I walk over to the stage. They are gone!
I hear a sound behind me, I whip around, only to be slammed into the ground, I hit it with a grunt. I could see the black animatronic on top of me, his fist raised, ready to slam it into my head. I put my hands over my head, as I catch the fist, and stop its momentum, I use one of my hands to push the animatronic off of me.
"What are you doing!?"
The animatronics stares blankly at me for a moment.
BLACK ANIMATRONIC: "Where the hell am I?"
I look at him, I could see his confusion and fright. He was scared, I'm not surprised, we were all like this when we were first built.
"Look, I need you to calm down, I'll explain to you where you are."
He stands up straight, towering over me.
"Just sit down there, I'll find the red one."
He hesitates for a second, then goes to sit at the table I had pointed to. I turn around and walk towards the west hall. I peek into my cove, it's clear. I then walk towards the storage room, I look inside, being careful not to wake Bonnie, who was curled up sleeping inside. The room is clear, and I shut the door quietly, I go towards the office, then the hallway light turns on. I tilt my head. The red one must be in there. I go to office, before I can step foot inside, the door is shut in my face. I hear a muffled giggle come from the other side. Yep, she's in there. I hear a sound behind me, I turn around to find Bonnie exiting the storage room, she looks up to me.
BONNIE: "Is Mike here already?"
"No, the new red animatronic is playing games with me."
Bonnie chuckles. I just sigh.
"Hey, we need to talk, can you let me in?"
To my surprise the door opens. I turn off my night vision and peek inside, and see the red animatronic sat on the office chair. She stares at me, I step foot inside, the animatronic presses a button on the tablet in her lap, and the door shuts behind me.
"Why did you shut the door?"
RED ANIMATRONIC: "You said I needed to talk to you, no one else." She smiles.
I smirk.
"What I meant is, can you come out so you can be introduced to the group?"
RED ANIMATRONIC: "What if I said I'd only want to talk to you. You seem more talk able than the other ones."
She crosses her leg over the other one and puts the tablet back on the desk. I chuckle nervously.
"I'm Foxy, you are probably wondering where you are."
RED ANIMATRONIC: "Foxy huh? That's a cute name."
I stare blankly at her, I felt the butterflies come back.
"I, uh, I welcome you to, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza."
She stands up.
RED ANIMATRONIC: "Well, thank you."
She comes up to me and sticks out her small hand.
AMY: "I'm Amy, it's nice to meet you, Foxy."
I grasp her hand, and shake it sternly.
"Well, can we get you introduced to the group now?"
She sighs.
AMY: "Yeah, sure."
She grabs the tablet, and opens the door, I walk out, Amy closely behind me. Bonnie was waiting outside. I turn on the lights to the hallway.
"Hey, Bonnie, can you get the others into the main dining hall?"
BONNIE: "Sure. I'll get the others."
I walk past her and towards the dinging hall, I turn on the light and see the black animatronic.
BLACK ANIMATRONIC: "You took your time didn't you?" He tilts his head.
"Sorry, this one is feisty."
Amy growls playfully. I laugh nervously. I go to sit next to the black animatronic. At this time, Freddy had come out of backstage, and was coming over to us.
FREDDY: "So, the newcomers are awake huh?"
I look up to Freddy.
"Yeah, they are awake."
Freddy comes to sit down with us, Chica had come out of the kitchen with Bonnie, and they were now sitting down with us.
BLACK ANIMATRONIC: "So, what are your names?"
FREDDY: "I'm Freddy Fazbear, I am the band's lead singer. That there is Bonnie."
Bonnie waves at the black animatronic.
BONNIE: "I play the bass guitar on stage."
CHICA: "I'm Chica, I play drums sometimes, but I'm usually the backup singer on stage."
I sit there silently.
BLACK ANIMATRONIC: "What about you?"
I look up to the black animatronic.
"I'm Foxy, I don't have a part on stage anymore."
AMY: "Why?"
I look up to Amy, then sigh.
"My past is pretty messed up guys."
BONNIE: "Foxy had an accident, we've forgiven him, but management hasn't."
I growl.
"It wasn't an accident, and I don't understand how any of you could forgive me for what I did!" I stand up.
FREDDY: "Foxy, sit down, calm yourself."
I scowl and walk towards my cove. I don't bother to look back. I open the curtains, step in and shut them. I walk to the back of my emptied cove. I sit against the wall, and reach into my internal backpack. I pull out the plushie. I stare at it. I could feel myself tearing up, I bring my knees up to my chest and cry quietly into my arms, I drop the plushie next to me.
"Why, why did they have to die?"
...
"Why did she, have to die?"
