Chapter 10: Getting a few well needed answers

Tom woke up later that night, finding himself using Chica's lap as a pillow and the other animatronics had already gone upstairs. Slowly getting up Tom looked around the room. He stopped suddenly. He could have sworn he saw something on the wall just then. He got up making sure not to disturb the sleeping Chica and walked over to the wall. Upon close inspection he found that there was a crack in the wall. He looked in and only saw darkness. Suddenly two bright white eyes appeared and made Tom jump, his robotic arm quickly moving to cover his mouth. "What the?" Tom knew he didn't move his arm. "Since I'm in your mind I can just manage to move parts of you without your say. Consider it a better reaction Tom, and a second mind!" Simon explained quickly. Returning his attention to the two white orbs in the wall Tom quickly realized that they were the eye's he had seen in the mirror.

"Hi?" Tom wasn't sure about the being on the other side of the wall. The bottom of the eyes got slightly covered giving the impression that the owner was smiling. "Hi!" Came a whisper. "I didn't think you would ever notice me friend!" Tom sighed, they were the same eyes he had seen in the mirror after all. "What are you doing in there? It's so dark I can't even see you properly!" Tom also whispered now trying not to wake Chica up so he could at least speak to the person for longer. "I've been stuck here for years... I'm barely functioning..." Tom frowned. "So your...a animatronic? Like Chica and the others?" Tom said looking back at the sleeping chicken. "Yes...I've been here from very early on. I'm not surprised they forgot about me. I don't blame them... thirty plus years...Not hard to forget a lot in that amount of time..." The voice sounded extremely sad. Tom felt bad for this animatronic. He had to do something, but he was still unsure if he could trust this robot. He decided to help him, but in a small amount until he was sure about whether or not it was a true friend or not. For now he would talk to the voice and try to figure out just what they were like. "So tell me a bit about yourself-err I'm sorry I don't know your name, err what might it be?" There was a small laugh on the other side of the wall and the eye's closed briefly. "I've had many names over the years... but the one that suits me best now? Springtrap..." (Don't act surprised you saw that coming long before I got to this chapter ¬_¬)

Meanwhile upstairs Foxy was looking for Mangle to see if she wanted to do something together. He found her in Kids cove hidden under a blanket. As he approached he could hear sobbing. "M-Mangle? Are ya alright?" The sobbing stopped briefly but came right back after a few seconds. Foxy quickly ran to her side and tried to comfort her. "Hey hey It's alright lassie. It's alright..." He held her close to his torn chest letting her cry more. When she calmed down He gently pulled her head up and looked her directly in the eyes "Whas' this about Mangle? Is it those damn kids again?" Mangle hesitated but nodded leaning into Foxy's chest for comfort. "I don't know how much more I can take Foxy... everyday is the same! They tear me apart and the staff don't even care anymore! Except for Tom! I just...I don't want to do this anymore... I want... to be with you..." Mangle held tighter onto Foxy's chest, Him not knowing what to say to help. "Well... I'm sure Scott is trying to do something to help. Maybe we talk to him next chance we get, eh? See what he can do... I just need you to hold out till then lassie, can you do that? For me?" Foxy looked directly into Mangles eye's. Those glowing yellow eyes did more than comfort her, they gave her strength. She smiled and nodded firmly. Foxy smiled as well and stood up. "Hows about we go ta see Tom? He always knows how to cheer you up when ye down..." Mangle jumped onto Foxy's back and they walked off towards Tom's home.

Tom sat down again, Chica having woken up a while ago and left to find the others. Tom had talked to Springtrap for about an hour now and after a bit Springtrap told Tom he needed to conserve his energy and so left with a saddened goodbye. While he sat down he detached his arm and laid it down on the coffee table. He intended to tinker with it but he couldn't be bothered. He stared at it for a while before putting his head back and staring at the ceiling. A noise drew his attention back to the table and too his surprise the arm was moving. "What the? I'm not doing that..." Tom leaned forward and looked at the arm as it tried to right itself. Tom picked up the arm and stood it up so the hand was pointing up. "Just trying out what I can actually do" Simon said with glee as the hand formed a mouth while he spoke. Tom just laughed, surprised that his second mind could take complete control of the metallic limb. "Alright you got me! What else can you do?" Tom said looking at the arm. "Well lets see how a game of chess works out, hmm? Really test how much of you I can see" Simon almost sounded sinister at this but laughed afterwards.

"It would seem we are at another draw..." Tom said looking down at the two kings on the board. He looked over at Goldie who was shaking his head. The golden bear had been resting in a place created by Puppet. Being supernatural and then being possessed took a toll on Goldie, but he was back better than ever. Goldie just looked down at his notepad. "That makes a total of two wins to Tom, seven to the arm and twenty six draws now... how do you expect to fully beat each other if you read each others minds?" Tom looked at the arm which mouthed something with it's hand, Tom then looked back at Goldie laughing. "We're not trying to beat each other we're trying to see how well we can read each other. Obviously Simon's better than me!" Tom looked angrily at the arm which just waved at him. "So does this mean we can still play with five people when your sleeping?" Bonnie asked curious to see if he could beat Simon as well as Tom. The arm mouthed again and Tom gave a shrug. "Won't know till I fall asleep, he says. But I would think so Bonnie" Bonnie gave a slight fist pump of triumph, He was determined to win against someone new, having beaten all the others countless times he was happy to have some newer competition.

Foxy woke up from his place next to Tom looking around. "Where's Mangle?" He asked when he noticed that Chica now occupied the space where Mangle had sat down next to Tom. "Five minutes till opening so she's gone up to mentally prepare herself..." Tom told him with a sad expression on his face. "Foxy...She told me about before when you went to see her, I'm going to try and get Scott to take her off of work for a few days while I get some things to make her a stage. The company won't supply us with one so I offered to make one." The fox was happy at this news and started wagging his tail. Tom laughed and patted him on the head. "You really are more like a dog than a fox, you know?" Foxy frowned annoyed which caused everyone to laugh at him as his ears drooped down. "Aww I'm only messin' Foxy! At least I'm not calling you a 'salty sea dog'!" More laughter from the others made Foxy growl slightly. Tom told everyone to stop, not wanting to upset the sea captain anymore than he already had. Tom's arm called back to him and he reattached it allowing Foxy to have a seat now and Freddy pulled out the pack of cards from his hat smiling.

"Go fish?"

"URRRRGGGHHHH!"

And that about does it for this chapter. sorry that its a little short but I felt like this was an appropriate place to stop. I'll try to make the next one longer :)

Anyway if you have a question you would like to ask me about the story or any of the characters then please send me a message or leave it at the end of a review.
