Dancing Shadows
Summary
The Animatronics find their whole lives changing after only one night with the new night guard. But that's not the only thing, this sassy and sarcastic wolf girl seems like she's hiding secrets, but will the animatronics really want to know what Ruby's hiding underneath? And when they do, how will it effect both the animatronics and Ruby?
The Observant Night Guard
I was awoken by the sound of metal feet walking down the hallway, I had fallen asleep in the office of this strange pizzeria.
I slowly snuck out of the office and as silent as a cat, I followed Puppet as she walked down the hallway. I stuck to the shadows so that I wouldn't be noticed.
I was really good at sneaking up on people and on animatronics. I smiled cheekily to myself. 'I wished I had something with me to play a prank on these strange 'bots with.' I thought to myself with a pout and a soft sigh.
PUPPET
I sighed in frustration, I couldn't sleep. It was strange seeing Puppet again. I sighed once more and stared at the crawling.
'Three Moons! What is wrong with me? Why can I sleep? And why can't I remember anything?' I thought with annoyance. This was getting ridiculous. I huffed and eventually, I decided to take a walk around.
As I was walking a question came to my mind. What had happened to the original animatronics? I tilted my head in thought. I paused and looked around a corner to see the form of Lefty, she was slumped and powered down. I sighed and I slowly made my way to the black-bear animatronic.
'Too bad it's not like my box... it can't just open like a lid.' I pouted slightly at the thought. But most importantly... I wanted answers about who I am. But how would I get more information? I wondered with a frown forming on my face.
'Who could help me?' I wondered, tilting my head in thought. I then went back to the Storage Room to think on it some more. I might think of something in there.
I felt safe in the storage Room, it was like my box. The strong smells were hard to handle sometimes... but the small space gave me comfort. Most people might feel really anxious in small spaces, but I don't mind it.
It took a lot of thinking and planning, but I eventually thought of something that could help me find the answers that I'm looking for. I could ask Scraptrap, but chances are he won't tell me... but I have to at least try.
So I waited until early morning to try my luck at talking to him. I wasn't hoping for anything... after all, I don't trust him as far as I can through him. I frowned in concern. This might end up turning out horribly, but at least I'll try.
But half way to his hiding place... I decided against it. I just didn't want to risk my life just for some answers about my life. I then decided to see if Scrap Baby knew anything.
Yeah... that's a better and safer idea. I thought with a slow nod and a small smile. I then made my way to where Baby was. It didn't take me long to get there.
I looked down at my paws, I had figured out how to open Lefty and climb inside of her. I admit, I've gotten used to being Lefty. I was still Puppet, but I'm also Lefty. I smiled softly at the thought.
As I stood outside of the door, I wondered what Baby would think. Would she be mad that I'm Lefty again? I mean... she did do all that hard work just to get me out of the black-bear animatronic. I sighed and as my paw lifted to knock on the metal door. It swung open and Scrap Baby stood in the doorway, smiling widely at me.
"I see that you returned to being Lefty. You like that better then the Puppet?" Baby asked with a tilt of her head. I smiled shyly and nervously rubbed my paws together.
"You have something to tell me... don't you? I can tell, it shows plainly on your face. Come in here you silly bear." Baby said, and I yelped when she eagerly but gently pulled me inside.
"Now, spill it Lefty. What's on your mind?" Baby asked, looking at me with a raised eyebrow and her arms crossed. I sighed quietly and looked down at the floor.
"Well... to be honest. I was wondering, why can't I remember anything I can't figure that out." I admitted with a frown on my face. Baby frowned and she gave a thoughtful look.
"I know. I'll help you on your search for answers. C'mon let's go start searching!" Baby exclaimed with a wide smile. I gave a small shy smile in response, and we made our way down the hallways in search of anything important.
We didn't know where to start looking, but we looked everywhere we thought might have any answers. We looked everywhere that we could think to look, the only place that we didn't look in was where Scraptrap hid. We weren't giving up though, not by a long shot.
"What are you two doing running around the Pizzeria?" Freddy questioned with a curious look in our direction. I laughed quietly and replied.
"Searching for answers about my missing memories." Was my quiet answer to the spaghetti-bears question.
"You have memory problems? That's strange. Need any help?" He asked, and this time Baby was the one to answer.
"No thanks Freddy. We can handle it on our own." She said, crossing her arms and glaring at said spaghetti-bear. I just quaintly laughed and we made our way outside of the rundown building.
