Greeting: I've reached 10 chapters again. I'm not as far as I thought. Action is coming. Enjoy!

( The Cat world. 9 AM)

Lara, Candy and Catty were showing off various costumes. Children laughed at Candy's hilarious hat.
She couldn't see anything, because the hat was too big for her. It had feathers on top and there was a green ring on the edge.
Lara giggled at her and Candy pointed at her waist. Lara realized that she was wearing a tie. It looked ridiculous on her.
" Lara is a business cat! Lara is a business cat!", the kids shouted and laughed at her. Lara started to walk like a very serious man.
" Where might my suitcase be? I think Chica ate it", Lara said in a deep voice. Children clapped their hands.
Catty wanted to look ridiculous as well. She looked at her sister and Lara. Someone was still missing. Cathy, their second sister, had died in a fight.
Catty had loved her, even though Cathy had betrayed them. It was unbelievable. It still creeped Catty out.
She had been talking to Willa a lot lately. Willa had been betrayed by her sister too. But Storm Jr. hadn't died as their enemy. She had changed sides a second time.
" Why did you have to do it, Cathy?", Catty thought. Lara snapped her fingers right under Catty's nose.
" Hello! Earth to Catty", Lara said to her.
" Oh! What? I didn't hear you. Sorry, I was thinking about..stuff", Catty apologized.
" We need more clothes and costumes. Could you get them for us?", Lara asked. Catty thought about it. A little walk would be nice.
Clothes were kept in Luna's basement. She could check on Scarlett while she was at it.
" Sure", Catty answered, smiling. Lara slapped her back.
" I knew I could count on you", she said happily. Catty chuckled shyly.

Candy put on a western style clothes and slapped the floor with her fake whip.
Catty shivered in fear. Springlock's whip was stuff from her nightmares. She left quickly. Lara glanced at her and saw that something had scared her.
Lara decided to leave it be and focus on more important things. Candy and Lara started their play.
Catty looked back until she couldn't see the stage anymore. She would have to get rid of that whip somehow.
It was fake, but the sound it made was scary. Catty could almost feel the whip hitting her back. Toy chica, Foxy and Fang had all experienced the whip.
Their stories had been Candy's favorites. As her sister, Catty was forced to listen to them. Their descriptions had been too detailed.
Catty was lucky she hadn't felt it herself. At the first sight of Springlock, Catty would run away as fast as she could.

She reached the basement and walked down the stairs, trying to be as silent as she could. Animatronics down in the basement were loud.
" Can you please shut up for one second?", Faith covered her ears.
" It's not us! It's these noisy machines! We have to shout if we want to hear each other", a tiger shouted over the noise.
" What?!", a wolf, next to the tiger, asked.
" I was talking to Faith!", the tiger shouted.
" What?! I can't hear you!", the wolf asked again.
" I said..!", the tiger continued. It had never been this noisy. Catty had to cover her ears as well.
" This will be harder than I thought", she thought. Luna was helping the new wolf, who Leslie had convinced to join the pizzeria crew.
" This is what we do. It's better than working for that Elder", Luna was speaking in the wolf's mind.
The wolf pointed at Catty, who waved at her and Luna. Catty walked to them.
" Could I get that other set of clothes? Me and my friends and running low", Catty thought as hard as she could. Luna nodded to her.
Luna had read her thoughts. Normal voice wasn't enough in this noise.

Luna and Catty walked to the corridor that went past Leslie's room.
" Finally. We can talk normally", Luna sighed in relief. The noise was lower. The walls blocked it pretty well.
Luna hated these days when she had to start the big machines. They cleaned the clothes well, but the noise was unbearable.
Customers couldn't hear it, because there was too much music and other noises upstairs.
Catty peeked into the room as she walked by. Luna didn't notice it. They went to the end of the corridor and opened a smaller room that was for storage.
" How many baskets do you need?", Luna asked from Catty.
" Just one", Catty answered.
" Or maybe two", she added. Catty definitely didn't want to do this a second time.
She got the baskets that were full of clothes. Luna walked back to the noisy room, but Catty stayed in the corridor.
She put the baskets down and went into the room where Scarlett and Leslie were.
Catty sneaked up behind Scarlett and put her hands on her shoulders. Scarlett turned around and smashed Catty's face to the floor.
" Ow!", Catty shouted. Her nose bled a bit.
" Oh! I'm so sorry. You scared me half to death", Scarlett helped Catty up.
" And you almost killed me", Catty added.
" Why are you here? Do you need something?", Scarlett asked.
" No, I don't. I was just delivering clothes to the Cat world. Decided to say hello", Catty explained. Scarlett nodded and glanced at Leslie.
" Is he still okay? Is there anything wrong with him? I saw Shadow at one point and he seemed to be very worried", Catty asked.
" Shadow is just paranoid. Leslie is fine", Scarlett answered. Catty reached out for Leslie's hand.
She expected something horrible to happen. Catty looked at the hand like it was made out of acid or something.
She touched the palm of Leslie's hand. Catty felt that it was warm and alive. Blood was flowing through the veins and Leslie was breathing.
" See? Nothing's wrong. He's just sleeping", Scarlett said to her.

Catty went closer and put her head against Leslie's chest.
She went sideways, so she could hear the heart. Catty closed her eyes and listened to the sound.
" I love that noise. It's steady and it's calm", Catty said. Scarlett let her be there for a moment. She had seen how Catty played with the kids.
Scarlett had thought that Catty's style was weird. Catty wasn't a fan of wild games. She liked calm games.
She had been holding them on her lap. Catty had been listening to their hearts. Scarlett wondered why.
Probably, because it meant that the children were alive. Not dead like Cathy. If Nadia died, Scarlett would break.
Catty was young and sensitive. She had been strong, because of her sisters.
" Did this same cat save Storm Jr.? It seems weird", Scarlett thought. Catty stood up and walked out.
" Get well soon, Leslie", Catty said to him. Scarlett waved at her. Catty picked up the baskets and went back to the Cat world.
Scarlett was secretly happy that Catty came. Scarlett had wanted to go to sleep mode.
Sitting was so boring. She might as well just follow the grass grow. Leslie's condition didn't change.
Leslie just lied there and let out a deep sigh every once in a while. Scarlett was curious.
She wondered what it meant. As he sighed, Leslie seemed to be extremely relieved. Was he having a dream?

Scarlett tried to get inside his head. Scarlett felt the mental barrier fight against her. It was ridiculously strong.
Compared to any normal barrier, Leslie's was 15 times stronger. Previously it had been only twice as strong.
Leslie and Jenner. Their minds had protected each other. Scarlett hoped that they hadn't gotten any new friends. She gave up and sighed.
Scarlett remembered the agony of having two people, who didn't like each other.
Jester hadn't been the best of buddies, but luckily there hadn't been more of them. Scarlett shook her head.
She needed to focus on Leslie. She would miss many things, if she let her thoughts take her away.
" Don't think. Say what you see. Don't think about anything else", Scarlett commanded herself. Scarlett began to say things out loud.
" Leslie has short hair. His arms are quite skinny. His witch mark is moving slightly", Scarlett listed. It went on and on.
Scarlett had to stand up and move around. She didn't take her eyes away from Leslie. Scarlett almost hit a wall.

She walked back and forth, back and forth. It was frustrating. She should have declined.
She could have been playing with children. Shadow was with Crystal or Willa. Scarlett was sure of it. Or with the colorful coyote.
Scarlett didn't know the coyote's real name. Maybe he had forgotten it. Nobody had used his name in a long time.
His brother just called him ´brother´. The Legends had called him a slave. His only name was Mr. Fluffy rainbow.
It was kinda cute and he seemed to love it. Scarlett giggled at it. She wasn't concentrating on Leslie anymore. Scarlett believed that nothing would happen.
This boy wasn't easy to wake up. Shaking didn't do anything.
Breaking through the barrier was nearly impossible and whoever got through was instantly attacked by a mysterious cloud.
Whatever that meant. Scarlett thought about Nadia. She had tried her best to revive Storm Jr. Scarlett felt bad for her sister.
Nadia had been happy in the morning, but Scarlett wasn't fooled. Nadia was still thinking about it. She thought it was her fault.
" I need to tell her that it wasn't anyone's fault. I should have done it earlier", Scarlett thought out loud. Leslie shivered and gasped a little.
Scarlett glanced at him, but didn't think it was anything special. Leslie was having a dream of some sorts.
Maybe it meant that he was waking up. Usually people see dreams when they are about to wake up.
Scarlett was excited to see, if anything would actually happen. She bended over Leslie and touched his face.
Scarlett petted Leslie's cheek with her forefinger. Storm Jr. must have done that at some point.
Scarlett had seen many lovebirds do that to each other. Storm Jr. had gotten all of her ideas from them.
Leslie reacted to the petting. He turned his head to Scarlett's direction. She stopped immediately.
Leslie could be very sad after hearing what happened to his girlfriend. Scarlett needed to be careful. Leslie's head shook a bit. He was definitely waking up.
" Leslie. Are you awake? It has been a long night. It's time to wake up and start a new day", she said to him Scarlett was sure of it now.
Leslie's eyelids were moving. His eyes opened slowly. Very slowly.

" Hello! Remember me?", Scarlett smiled at him. A big smile filled his face.
" Scarlett? Why are you here?", Leslie asked in a very slow and happy tone.
" It's me. I was waiting for you to wake up", Scarlett explained. Leslie looked at the ceiling. His straps opened on their own.
" Whoa! Don't get up yet. You have been in coma for a long time. Let's make sure that you are able to walk and all that", Scarlett grabbed his arms as he was about to stand up.
Leslie sat on the table. He glanced at the mirror next to him. Scarlett allowed him to take his time.
Leslie looked like his own face was the most amazing thing he had ever seen. Leslie wiped his mouth to his shirt and looked at the pink stain.
" Luna is sorry for that. She kissed you last night. She didn't have any other choice. You were freaking out", Scarlett explained.
Leslie looked at her with a big smile on his face.
" She doesn't need to be sorry. That was a wonderful kiss. Such affection, such passion", Leslie said.
" Oookay! I'm happy to hear that", Scarlett said. Leslie was acting a little weird. He had never looked so happy. Leslie stood up and walked towards Scarlett.
" Is everything alright? You look cold", Leslie asked. To be honest it was due to the fact that Leslie was creeping her out.
Scarlett backed off. Leslie grabbed her by the armpits.
" There's nothing to be scared of. Everything is okay, Scarlett", Leslie said, smiling. He got unpleasantly close. Leslie pulled Scarlett closer and kissed her.
" I love you", Leslie said. Scarlett felt that Leslie's fingers were going into her pants. Scarlett pushed Leslie away immediately.
" Leslie! Stop! I don't like the way you are acting. What is wrong with you?", she said to him.
" There's nothing wrong. Why do you care about that when you can just let it all go?", Leslie said to Scarlett.
She was pulled closer by a telekinetic force. Leslie was a hard one to resist. Scarlett was pulled to the table and Leslie wrapped his arms around her.
He had the strength of a lion. Scarlett teleported away. Leslie was panting and he had a freaky look in his eyes.
" Calm down. I'm not your girlfriend. I'll talk to you once you have relaxed", Scarlett said to him. That way Leslie was looking at her.
He was a savage. Taken over by the reproduction instinct or something similar.
" We don't have time for this. I need to tell the others. Storm Jr. is not well", Scarlett said.

Leslie's expression changed after Scarlett had mentioned Storm Jr.
" Leslie?", Scarlett walked closer to him. Leslie looked around.
" Scarlett? Why am I here? Where are my parents? Where is Shadow?", he asked. That was the Leslie, Scarlett knew and loved.
" We are in the basement. You were brought here by me, Luna and Michelle. You remember Michelle? And Luna?
The one, who kissed you. The one I just told you about", Scarlett asked from him.
" What kiss? What are you talking about?", Leslie asked. This was getting weirder and weirder.
" I just said it. Luna kissed you last night. You kissed me many times after you heard it", Scarlett said.
Leslie's expression revealed that he had no idea of what was going on. Leslie looked like he had never even seen the room he was in.
" What happened to me? Why did you bring me here?", Leslie was full of questions.
" Just relax, buddy. It's gonna be okay. You were crushed by your house. You wanted to stop Jenner", Scarlett told him.
" I..I don't remember. Ah! My head hurts", Leslie moaned. Scarlett put her hands on his temples.
" Look at me, Leslie. I need you to listen for a minute. You were at your house. Something attacked you and Storm Jr. while you were in there.
What was it?", Scarlett couldn't wait any longer.
" Storm Jr. Who's that?", Leslie asked. Now Scarlett was absolutely sure that nothing was alright.
" Your girlfriend. She's the world's cutest wolf. And she is in critical condition. Do you understand? She's dying. You have to help her", Scarlett explained.
Leslie looked at her like she was crazy.
" A cute wolf? Storm Jr. An attacker? How should I know who did it?", Leslie asked.
" You were there! She came to help you. She did it, because she loved you more than anything. Help her, Leslie. Remember", Scarlett said.
She grabbed a picture from the table. Michelle had found it and put it there. Storm Jr. had wrapped her arms around Leslie and they were smiling in the picture.

" Storm Jr. Remember?", Scarlett showed the picture to him. Leslie peered at the picture and his eyes were focused.
" She is smiling. She's adorable in that picture. Just like..", Leslie stopped and his eyes widened.
" Who attacked you?", Scarlett asked. She kept repeating it. Leslie's breathing got faster. The whole room was shaking like a leaf in the middle of a tornado.
" She.. She", Leslie tried to remember. Scarlett started to see pictures inside her head.
Storm Jr. was dancing on the dance floor and she pulled Scarlett closer. Scarlett saw it happen.
She was dancing with Storm Jr. Except that her snout was gone and her hands looked like they belonged to a human.
Scarlett was experiencing Leslie's memories.
" Leslie! What are you doing? Stop. I can't take this", Scarlett begged.
" I can't control it. I never can. It comes when it wants to", Leslie spilled a tear. Scarlett saw why. She saw Storm Jr. in front of her.
They were at the ruins of Legends' old hideout. Her vision turned black and white. Storm Jr. screamed as the shockwave tore her to bits.
Scarlett looked at Leslie, terrified.
" I killed her. It was all my fault. I hurt my friend. Just like always", Leslie cried.
" No, no ,no! You didn't do anything. We can fix her with your help. If you help us, we help you", Scarlett said to him and their foreheads touched each other.
Scarlett closed her eyes and begged.
" We won't be able to do anyhing. I love her just like you. Please help us. Storm is so sad. She doesn't want to lose her daughter.
Everything will be okay once you fix her", Scarlett said to Leslie. His hands grabbed her face.
Scarlett was forced to look straight into Leslie's silver colored eyes.
" Storm is a weakling. And everything is already as good as it can be", the murderous Leslie said to Scarlett.
He threw her at the wall. Scarlett's endoskeleton broke and she passed out.
Leslie's clothes were torn apart by an invisible force and they vanished. Leslie looked at his almost naked body.
He wasn't naked for long though. His new clothes seemed to appear out of thin air. His jacket was black and the shirt under it was golden.
Leslie's pants had a weird glint in them. He looked into the mirror.
" You thought you could use us, weaklings. You thought that we were your slaves. We aren't slaves of weak animatronics. Pathetic weaklings!
No one will ever use us again. The strings are not on us", Leslie said to unconscious Scarlett in pure anger. He had a very grim and dark voice.
He walked towards the door. The entire wall just bended like it was made out of hot butter.
Leslie walked through the big hole he had made and headed outside. The animatronics in the other room were still using their big machines.
Nobody heard anything. Leslie tore down another wall with his powers. He stepped outside.
He had been barefooted just a second ago, but he had gotten new shoes with the new clothes.
He looked at the stuff around him. Leslie had extremely angry and bored expression on his face.
He walked through the backyard. He wasn't fast, but nobody could have stopped him. The power he had was incredible.
If he was on the side of the pizzeria crew, The Elders would never dare to cross them again. Unfortunately this didn't seem to be the case.
Leslie was heading straight to his old home. Right to the Legends' new hideout.

( Eclipse. Upstairs)

He had been having lots of fun with the new animatronics. The slaves, who had been rescued, had wanted to meet all the kids.
Eclipse brought them upstairs sometimes, two at a time. Children loved how there was someone new to play with everyday.
This time, he had brought a dingo and a hyena. Kids made a lot of noise, but he felt the energy around him.
Eclipse was not able to hear the sounds, but the walls shook the entire building as they fell down.
" Excuse me for a second. I need to check something really quick", Eclipse said to the kids and the animatronics.
" Okay. We will play carefully", the hyena said with a sad voice. These animatronics were still afraid of everything.
They were polite and afraid, because Eclipse had once been punishing them. Eclipse wasn't thinking about that a lot as he ran down the stairs.
" Why was I so stupid? Let's hope I'm wrong", Eclipse thought. He could be wrong, but for some reason those quakes gave him a bad feeling.
He had been hesitating a little bit. Those quakes had ended a couple of minutes ago. If he was right, he was also late.
As he came down the stairs, he pressed the emergency switch that turned off the electricity that ran the machines.
" Hey! We were just about to take the clothes out", a fox said to Eclipse. He didn't listen to the fox. Eclipse listened carefully for anything else.
He couldn't hear anything weird. Eclipse opened the door that led to the corridor and Faith followed him.
" Eclipse, stop! What's wrong? Why did you just.. Ohh!", Faith stopped as she reached the corridor. Scarlett was on the floor.
Eclipse came to help her. He rubbed her chest. Eclipse had heard that it warmed up the black blood. Scarlett's head healed and she woke up.
" Scarlett! What happened?! Where's Leslie?", Eclipse asked in panic.
Scarlett looked at him: " Leslie was the enemy. Nobody attacked him. Leslie killed Storm Jr. We will die! All of us!".

Farewell: This is gonna be fun. The Legends and an unstoppable witch versus Freddy's crew.
See you in the next chapter and remember: THE ONLY WAY TO LIVE IS TO WRITE.
