Chapter 28
After my little scene, I went back to Pirate's Cove. Alone. I forgot to tell them about Madison's current state. So I walked back out. The sun was completely gone, streaks of moonlight lay on the floor.
Questionably, all three looked at me.
"Hey, uh, guys..."
"Is it more bad news?" Freddy asked.
"Kinda, yeah."
"What is it?" Bonnie questioned softly.
"I-I forgot to mention that Madison is... broken."
"What? What happened?" They all asked with concern.
I shook my head. "I don't know. She just fell and started thrashing around."
"Surely she's fixable." Freddy reassured us.
"When Mr. Fazbear opened her back panel, it was oozing oil and the wires were a mess."
"How?! Nothing like that has ever happened before!" Chica exclaimed.
I shook my head again. "She's in the back room."
"I'm gonna go check on her." Bonnie hopped off the stage. "Mike, are you coming?" Bonnie turned around and asked.
"Yeah." I answered.
Together, we walked towards the back room. The door slowly creaked open. Madison lay on the floor. I slowly walked over and gently shook her. Not a twitch from her.
"Madison?" I whispered. "Madison?!" I kneeled closer to her.
"Madison?!" I yelled, shaking her with unneeded force.
"She's gone." Bonnie said, gentle as an angel.
"She can't be!" I whispered. I bent down closer to her. Close enough I would be able to hear her heartbeat, if animatronics had a heartbeat.
"Mike, let's go back." Bonnie suggested.
"You can. I'm staying here." I replied.
"Ok, just remember I'm here if you need anything."
"Thanks Bonnie." I told her. "I really appreciate it." My voice cracked like I was about to cry, which I was.
Bonnie backed out the door, and back to the show stage.
I sat down on the floor. "Why is everything good always taken away from me?"
I got no answer from Madison. Her dull, lifeless eyes stared straight ahead, never moving.
"Whenever I like something, it always seems to be ripped away from me!" I said, rather loudly.
Oh no. I was getting angry. More than I ever had been before. And all that anger was channeled right to the thought of the Purple Man. He did this! He killed Madison! Now I am going to kill him.
"Like my little surprise?" A sinister voice had asked.
My head shot around to the source of the sound. The Purple Man.
"You did this!" I screamed.
"Of corse I did. I had to get you back after what happened the other day." He sneered.
Light as air, quick as lightning, I had him hanging from the wall, his neck in my steel grip.
"You can't kill me." He choked out.
"Watch me." I said, my voice sharp and unnaturally deep.
The Purple Man didn't seem scared like last time.
"Mari, now!" He yelled.
I fell to the ground in a bear hug. Ropes were tied around me, disabling the function to move my extremities.
My eyes must have been blacker than black, I was so angry. No, not angry. I was furious. Red, hot rage coursed through my body. This time, I didn't try to stop it. I helped it, encouraged it. The feeling of pulling began again. I helped it, tried to pull along with it.
The Fazbear gang ran in.
"What's going..." Freddy trailed off as he saw the situation.
"GO!" My voice was different this time. It had two tones to it, like two people talking at once.
Freddy looked towards me. His mouth gaped open. He quickly scrambled out the door, followed by the others.
The Purple Man and Mari had been talking. They hadn't noticed the gang had just entered. They hadn't noticed what was happening to me yet, either.
The pulling sensation was now more of the feeling of being ripped apart.
"AH!" I yelled in pain. That's when the Purple Man noticed.
"Mari..."
"Hm?" She turned around and saw what her colleague had been looking at.
"Do something!" The Purple Man ordered.
She ran over and started swatting at the souls trying to escape this suit.
"I don't know what to do!" She screamed. "Just teleport us away!"
"I have a job to do, and I'm almost finished!" The Purple Man argued. "This stupid mutt just keeps getting in my way!"
The pain was subsiding now. It felt like a giant weight had been lifted off me. I could breath, I was free! I was floating above my suit. By my side was another soul. It had been a part of me, by my side since forever. I never noticed it much, but now, I could feel its presence beside me.
The other soul nodded solemnly to me. We dashed to the Purple Man and pinned him against a wall. The presence I felt beside me came closer, then we were one. The strength of two souls.
"M-Mari! Do s-something!" Purple Man choked.
She swatted fruitlessly at us.
My fingers wrapped around his neck, squeezing the life out of him. He gasped like a fish, wide eyed. The Purple Man was scared. Full out terrified.
"S-s-t... to-p! P-pl-ple... please." He wheezed with broken words.
"Too late for that." Said my two toned voice.
