In Time you can be Betrayed

Freddy used his override system to break free of the stasis lock, and went over to Chica. "Sorry sister, it is just he always trusted you almost as much as he trusted Foxy. And I have got to do whatever it takes to insure the safety of the children." Freddy then proceeded to open Chica's circuitry and coding panel, typing in command after command, ordering her to bring James to him alive if possible, dead only if necessary.

James walked in the front door, and was going to take the East Hall when he noticed Chica missing. Knowing she was a prankster sometimes, he started to take the West Hall. Suddenly something grabbed his head and mouth from behind, him able to smell obvious chloroform on a rag, before passing out.

James woke up bound and gagged in a chair, seeing nothing in the dark room he was being held captive in. Suddenly, two blue eyes opened in front of him. "I can hear your accelerated breathing, so I figured you must be awake. I was correct." Freddy said, before taking the gag out of James's mouth. "Are you really James? And how can I know I can trust you, hmm?"

James gasped as soon as the gag was removed. "Yes, I am James. And how can you trust me huh, Freddy? How can I trust YOU? You had me knocked out by Chica, and now have me bound against my will!" James said, venting some anger and frustration, before sighing. "Freddy, you can trust me because I still see you as an uncle."

Freddy's eyes widened when James called him an uncle, as he knew James had never told anyone much about his life, even when he was still young, and knew he would have told nobody of him, and also knew the other animatronics missed him too much to even think about him. Until he got back, that is. "Then James, my last question is, are you still the same James we loved back then?"

This question got James to freeze up. "Are you afraid I am gonna hurt the children or the business?" James asked, trying to dodge the question.

Freddy's eyes narrowed, as he could see what James was trying to do. "Don't dodge the question James. Are you still the James we know and love? Or have you changed? Are you unstable now? A wild card?"

James was starting to freak out a bit. "I-If I have ch-changed, what will h-happen to me?" James was sweating bullets, freaking out slightly, worried that he would be injured, or worse, die.

Freddy backed away slightly. "Then I will let you go, and depending on the changes, will let you stay or make you leave. If I make you leave and you come back, there will be consequences."

James sighed, and looked up at Freddy almost with an angry glare. "Yes Freddy, I have changed. That is what loosing a father while never knowing my mother, or even sister really. I only had you 4, but the cops messed that up too. I was put in foster care, for years I changed family after family, all of them hating me because of my interest in robotics and my liking of children. I was yelled at, beaten, and even stabbed one time. So yes Freddy, I have changed. I am just a tad more defensive now, but it only happens when someone my size or bigger gets their ego a bit to big for their body. Hint hint, Freddy."

Freddy's eyes were wide by the end of the story, with oily tears gathering in his eyes. "I-I had no idea, I-I am so sorry James!" Freddy quickly untied James and gave him a gentle and caring hug, before leading him out of the spare parts room, and to the office.

Foxy had sat in Pirate Cove, thinking about James. "Why is he not here yet? He should have been here almost an hour ago!" Suddenly Foxy sees Freddy take James out of spare parts and lead him to the office, but something seemed off. James seemed to be a bit tense, so once Freddy left, Foxy raced towards the office to talk to James. "James? Are you okay? Do ye need me to cheer ye up with me pirate accent?" Foxy said, obviously concerned for James and his health.

"Yeah, I am fine. Just had a little talk with Freddy, that is all." James said, trying to wave it off while thinking of a change of topic. "Oh hey, Foxy? I have a question."

"Yes James?" Foxy asked, tilting his head slightly in curiosity.

"Is y-you know, anatomically c-correct?" James asked, blushing slightly, glad to have found a change of topic but embarrassed that his first thought was of such a matter.

Foxy blushed, and nodded slowly. "Oh! I j-just remembered, I got to h-help Chica cook f-for the party tomorrow, s-see you later James!" Foxy said, quickly sprinting out the right door and down the East Hallway until entering the kitchen.
