I pulled away from him with a small smile. "I have to get home now. I need to get clothes and stuff so…I'll see you later Vincent." He waved and turned in the other direction. I twisted the door knob and left. While I walked outside I had forgotten something important. "He drove me here…great." I passed his car and started my walk home. At least it wasn't dark out. I don't know how long I walked but it took more than two hours for sure.
When I got to my house I nearly passed out at the front door. I needed to get fit. I unlocked the door and walked inside. I thought I saw something yellow in the corner of my eye but when I looked there was nothing. "Hmm." I walked up the stairs and into my room to take out clothes and other materials for the day.
After and hour and a half I was ready to step out the door and be on my way, but not before pigging out on milkshakes made by myself. I walked to the restaurant which is a serious drag considering how far it is. "I should've never left my car at the restaurant." When I got there Vincent was pulling in.
I ignored him and walked inside which was probably the biggest mistake of my life. I walked towards the stage and sat on the corner, the toy animatronics looked at me acknowledging me so I smiled. Vincent walked in moments later looking for me of course but it was too late. "Hey kids look who's here! It's Alice!" The children clapped for me and I blushed.
It was nice to feel loved. I haven't felt that in a long time…or at least it didn't make an impact until now. "Thanks Freddy!" I stood up getting on the stage accepting the microphone. "Thank you everyone, is everyone having a good time?" OF course the restaurant became full of life. "That's great! What do you all want me to do today?" A little girl with short blonde hair and a blouse raised her hand. "Yes young lady?" She blushed at being called out. "C-can you dance with Chika?" "You want me to dance?" She nodded. I smiled a genuine smile. "Of course. Then Mangle will take the mic after we pick a song ok? So give us a moment!" I saw Vincent glaring at the animatronics from the back of the room.
In the corner of my eye while I was somewhat huddled with the animatronics I saw someone wave. I turned to see my employer waving me over. "Alright guys come up with a song I'll be right back." I ran over to him nearly tripping on the way. "Hello sir." I greeted then looked over to a boy with ginger hair and blue eyes.
"This is Jeremy…Jeremy this is our best Security guard Alice. You'll be working with her on the night shift. We're switching your other partner to day shift." I nodded and held out my hand. He took it and smiled. "It's nice to meet you Jeremy I hope we'll get along!" I smiled. I saw a slight tint to his cheeks. "Y-yeah me too." After that we went our separate ways and I walked back onto the stage.
"Alice we came up with a song!" Chika said looking at me. "What is it?" They all looked at each other smiling it made me nervous. "Carmelldancen!" I stared at them wide eyed. And I was going to dance for the little girl…."Sounds great!" Freddy grabbed the mic. "Hey kids we're going to start our song now. We hope you like the pizza…" Then Chika cut in. "And remember to eat your vegetables!"
Freddy handed Mangle the Microphone and I stood on the opposite side of Chika. We began. I nearly laughed when I saw the blonde girl doing the exact same thing as me. It was cute.
She seemed secluded from people so she was doing it on her own. I was going to go down but three others joined her and it made me smile. "Hands in the air we will show you how." "So come and move your hips sing oh wah ah ah…" I motioned them up onto the stage. At first they were unsure but the young girl ran up and her friends followed.
She stood beside Chika and the rest stood by what I guessed were their favorite animatronics.
"Dance to the beat wave your hands together come feel the heat forever and forever…"
"So come and dance to the beat wave your hands together come feel the heat forever and forever…it is time for prancing now we are here with caramelldancing!" Every step I took, every movement I made, I gave it my all. All for these children but sometimes through it I felt alone and stuck.
It felt like I was just a hollow shell. But when I look around at all these happy faces the joy spreads to my heart and it hurts worse. The song ended and I think I nearly passed out. Trying to keep up with chika and those huge thighs was hard. I smiled. I felt like I was going to pass out. I saw Vincent look up and I'm sure he noticed because he was heading towards me quickly.
When I fell though, someone else caught me. I looked up. "Vincent?" He shook his head with a frown. His eyes seemed very sharp as if he was glaring at me. He helped me up and I stood all the way. "You look like you could use a…break." I shivered. He said it like ice. "Umm I think I'll be fine." His grip on my wrist tightened. "Ow hey!" He began pulling me away towards the security office. I knew someone was following us and I was glad. I didn't want to be alone with this guy.
Once we were there he threw me by my wrist against the desk. I was nearly sitting on it. He towered over me. "My name is Richard." Something automatically triggered in my mind. "Richard…Richard…you? Wait you're the Richard who used to live in my neighborhood. We were sworn enemies because I picked up a rock and flipped it." He slammed his hands on the desk on both sides of me leaning a bit close but not leaning in. "That was my mother's gravestone!" He yelled causing me to whimper.
He looked scarier than he did when I knew him then. His eyes were black and his irises were white. "I'm sorry alright! What do you want from me?" He smirked a lot like how Vincent would. I noticed he was also wearing a purple security guard outfit but it was darker and had less resolution. "I noticed you've taking a liking to those new animatronics. What about the old ones? Did you forget about them?"
I stared at him a bit. "No I haven't I would never." I looked up at him. "You're an idiot. By doing this all you're going to do is turn in a circle. Now look at me. Do you really remember me?" I looked him in the eyes. "Foxy! He's my favorite! Bonnie is my funny friend! Freddy has an amazing voice! And chika is really pretty. I gave Chika a red ruby ring today. I hope she liked it. I get to go for my birthday! I'm so excited! I can't wait to see Foxy. I love Foxy!" "I'm not a man or a human." "You don't need to be either to love, even if it was true I still love you…" My whole childhood flashed before me and I fell to the ground holding my head, screaming.
Someone placed a hand on my head. I looked up, it was Richard. He kneeled putting his hand on my shoulder. "Do you remember me?" I blinked and all I saw was Foxy in animatronic form. "F-foxy?" I began screaming again the pain in my head and the emotional trauma was too much.
Vincent's Pov
I began running letting my arms flow free as I ran. I could hear her screams, they reminded me of mine when I was young. When I was being tortured. I sped up. When I came close I could see the other 'Purple Guy' with her and she was holding her head screaming and crying.
What the hell was he doing to her?! I ran faster. He saw me and muttered something and ran off. He's a coward. I stopped in front of her and kneeled touching her and she immediately pushed me away moving away from me still screaming. What the fuck did he do to her?! I'm going to kill him. I pulled her to me screaming and all. She was shaking and trying to pull away but I only held her tighter.
I couldn't let her go insane…not like this. I need her. I felt something inside of my chest and it felt weird so I pushed it down. Her screaming began to lessen. That was a good sign right? She stopped shaking and went completely still. I pulled away to look at her only to pull away completely. She was smiling and her eyes were black. Her irises were white like his.
She started laughing like a maniac and I was lost. I don't know what to do. He was trying to take her from me, he was trying to ruin my plans for his own. He was controlling her somehow.
"Now to set everything right…" She stood and began walking away. I looked at the space she was once in then got up to grab her hand. She turned her head to look at me a murderous look in her eyes. "Yesss?" She purred…in a voice not like her own but it was still female.
"She belongs to me Richard." "Oh huehuehue, so she's property? No wonder why she was so easily claimed by me. You don't own her otherwise she would've pushed me out…she tried but not for that reason. Now if you'll excuse me I have plans to set forth for the future."
She began walking again. I did own her. She was supposed to be mine but why does she not want to be property? I knew thinking too much on it was wasting time. If the animatronics saw her like that too early they'd go into the virus program I put in their security code and they'd kill her on the spot. "Damnit what do I do?" "You need someone to take care of you and I might be the only one who knows how." "She tried to take care of me which is what kindness is right? So what if I tried that…but I don't know how. Hugging, and words of sincerity is what was on that valentine's card from my last victim right? What do I really feel sincere about with her?" "Alice wait!" She turned around with a smirk on her face. "Hm?"
"You're not someone I want to kill yet. I want to save you for last." "That's nice." She turned around again. "Shit! Fuck it I'm going all out." "Alice you're a really good person. The opposite of me. You want to help me although you know what I am…and what I do. Yet for some reason you don't care and…you kinda seem weird because of it but I like that. I don't want you to be with Richard, I want you instead. I'm sorry I couldn't stop him from hurting you. I've always been concerned with myself but then you just came out of nowhere and I got this weird feeling. I don't know what it is. It's so fucking confusing I don't know how to explain it! I'm sorry I can't express how I feel just please."
Tears stream down my face while I desperately try to reach out to her but it feels like I'm getting nowhere. "I feel like if you leave I'll lose myself. It feels like losing a part of me and I know I just met you but…but it feels like I've known you forever. Actually meeting you was great. I've never felt so sane with someone. I feel so lost without you! So please don't go. Don't go with Richard. I couldn't take it." I fall to my knees crying. "Please…" I heard her footsteps walk away and I knew I lost her. I couldn't get to her.
