Greeting: The question everyone has( or at least should have) on their lips is, what happened to the pink bunny and Carrie.
Maybe Storm Jr. has the answer.
That and more happening now!
( Jenny Summers. The Department of magic. Two days before the Beginning)
The main door of the facility opened. It was hard and heavy.
It was as thick as a giant sequoia tree.
The grey concrete door had been made to make sure that nothing was going through if it was closed.
A tank, a nuke or an alien plasma beam; nothing was getting through. Nothing!
The iron cables had been attached to its top and were contracting it. The door itself was not able to bend one little bit.
Whoever had built it, had built it to hold its ground against any enemy that might come across.
The door was making way for a red car which drove inside. Jenny drove the car into her usual parking space.
She had been listening to music from the radio but now it was the time to turn it off.
She took her sunglasses off and put them back into a small compartment, in the car.
She had come to check the animatronics out.
Apparently, some traumatized fox had caused some hassle the night before.
Jenny wasn't completely aware of what exactly had taken place.
She had actually been home when Frank had brought the pink bunny in.
Jenny had only heard the heavy breathing of the pink bunny and seen black splatters on her fur.
She was not sure, if she had heard correctly what Frank had told her. This fox had spat on the bunny.
She was there to form her own opinion about the situation and the fox's state.
The doctors had put the fox to sleep. She was sleeping peacefully in a locked room.
Jenny was confused and eager to see the fox herself. She got out of the car and locked it.
She had a cup coffee in her hand. She drank the rest of the coffee and dropped the cup into a trash can.
She walked right across the underground parking lot and took huge stairs down.
The stairs were leading even deeper into the underground facility. There were some others in the stairs as well.
The guards nodded to her politely as she greeted them.
Jenny had spoken to her colleague earlier. Based on his tone, the situation was extremely dangerous.
The fox had wounded several guards and the doctor, Jenny had spoken to, had almost gotten his arm chopped off.
They had restrained the fox and given her an injection which put animatronics to sleep for a long time.
Jenny reached the bottom of the stairs and arrived to the central area which had been a metro station once.
There was the guard post, from which all the security cameras could be seen.
Jenny showed the guard her ID card. Then she glanced at the map to see where she was suppose to go.
The facility was really big and she didn't actually work there.
All the witches who worked as police officers or firefighters, had to come there sometimes. Witches brought some dangerous threats there.
Jenny had never liked that place but her father insisted that she tried to work with the staff.
Jenny took the left and then the right and so on. The fox was kept in the room 6B.
There were some guards outside the room.
" Go inside, Officer Summers. They're waiting for you", said the guard on the left as he opened the door for her.
Jenny nodded to him and walked straight in.
The room was medium-size and circular. There were lots of tables for examining corpses and living patients.
A doctor was in the middle with a green dingo who seemed worried. Jenny was weirded out by the color.
" Is she going to be okay? She looks fine to me", sighed the dingo.
" Her vital signs are stable but her brain seems corrupted", a female doctor told the dingo.
" We are animatronics! We don't have vital signs", the dingo told her.
" We know. I only refer to them as vital signs. Witches built the animatronics. We know what we are doing, don't worry", the doctor assured him.
Then they noticed Jenny, walking in.
" Ah! There you are, Miss Summers. You are late. We thought you'd never show up", the doctor seemed relieved.
Jenny was not very happy.
" The station was buzy. We have had lots of petty crimes lately. Mostly violent ones", explained Jenny.
The doctor didn't really care about her explanation. All that mattered to her was that Jenny had arrived.
Jenny walked to the table casually.
She was not capable of expressing her excitement.
Jenny took a good look at the fox who was lying in front of her eyes.
The fox was breathing heavily just like the bunny. She was covered in dirty fur. She was mostly white so the stains were easy to spot.
" Why is she so dirty? Do these animatronics not get washed?", Jenny asked.
" They do. She had to be forced against the floor and she was rolling on it. You tend to get dirty in a fierce fight", answered the doctor.
To be honest, she was annoyed by Jenny's question. There were more important things to focus on than the stains.
Jenny did see a lot more than the stains.
She saw the extended claws and the grin that was on the fox's face.
" She looks pretty crazy, I'll give you that", Jenny tried the claws.
" Carrie isn't dangerous! She's sick", the dingo snapped at Jenny.
" And how is that?", chuckled Jenny.
She thought animatronics couldn't get ill. The dingo thought for a minute but couldn't find an answer.
" Her brain is corrupted", the doctor answered for him.
" This fox has gone through a lot of fear. The fear and pain have left their mark on her", the doctor added.
" Am I suppose to understand any of that?", frowned Jenny with a sassy look in her eyes.
The doctor decided to remain calm and tolerate Jenny's attitude.
" She had a mental breakdown. She couldn't live with the memories of all her friends which are now dead.
It caused her system to break", the doctor explained it to her.
" She has friends. Me and the pink bunny. We are her friends. Carrie would never hurt us", the dingo interrupted.
Jenny glanced at him and pondered. She looked at Carrie and her lethal teeth.
Carrie looked like she was about to rip someone's throat open and eat their insides.
" What happened to that pink bunny anyway? This fox spat on her but that's all I know", Jenny dug deeper into the case.
The dingo took his time to explain it all to Jenny.
At the end of the explanation, Jenny nodded to him.
" Interesting. She just flipped out", Jenny was astonished.
The dingo nodded.
" A mental breakdown can happen anytime. Her system broke. That's what caused her to spit oil.
Oil is sticky; it got stuck into the bunny's system as well", the doctor did not see anything unnatural in this.
Jenny was not convinced. She agreed with the dingo; something weird was going on.
Carrie did not seem depressed or sad. She was angry and full of desire to kill.
" Carrie was so nice to us. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw her attack", the dingo petted Carrie's head.
" Don't touch her! She might wake up and kill you", the doctor panicked and grabbed the dingo's arm.
" Carrie won't kill me. She is my friend and I love her", insisted the dingo.
" You saw her attack. She isn't well", said the doctor.
Jenny thought about that sentence for a minute. Carrie wasn't well.
" Hey. What was it that she said?", Jenny pondered out loud.
" She said that she wanted to vomit and then she did", the dingo reminded her.
Jenny thought about Carrie vomiting.
" Can you remember anything else that was weird? Carrie's expression. The vomit. The way she threw up", Jenny listed.
The dingo scratched his chin and thought at the same time.
" I remember the vomit. It made a puddle on the floor. It wasn't behaving like oil. It seemed..sentient", the dingo got scared.
Even the memory of it creeped him out.
" Sentient? What do you mean?", Jenny's eyes widened.
The dingo didn't want to answer but he wanted to save Carrie as well.
" It crawled towards me and the pink bunny. There was something living inside it.
The oil was trying to take a form of some sorts. I could hear bubbles inside it too", explained the dingo.
Jenny grabbed the edge of the table and took a deep breath. She seemed to be panicking.
" Jenny? You alright?", the doctor asked her, worried.
Jenny had heard that story before.
" Sorry. I need to go outside the room for a minute", she exclaimed and ran out of the room.
Jenny didn't go very far. She simply went to the nearest phone to call a friend of hers.
The facility was deep underground and mobile phones didn't work.
She was glad they had installed those telephone stations.
This was a life and death situation.
If she was correct, this was not the first time this black goo had been seen.
Jenny grabbed the phone and called her friend who was at the police station.
" Come on! You have to answer, Holly", Jenny whispered as the phone was ringing.
What a relief! The phone was answered.
" Hello!", a female voice greeted.
" Holly! It's me, Jenny", she shouted to the phone.
" Jenny. Why are you shouting? My ears almost broke", Holly's ears hurt.
" I'm sorry. Look, Holly. Are you at the computer?", asked Jenny.
" I sure am. What do you desire to know, homie?", Holly answered.
" Can you check the file of the case 46?", Jenny requested.
Holly dug into the case files and found what Jenny was looking for.
" This guy? He was found from a highway", Holly scanned the file.
" Yea, that's the one! Does it have any records of reviewing the witnesses?", asked Jenny.
Holly clicked a few buttons on the keyboard and found them.
" Found them", she exclaimed in a serious tone.
" Does it have anything about the victim vomiting?", Jenny asked in fear.
She had checked that case out but she wasn't sure if she was remembering it correctly.
" The victim was vomiting black goo as this eyewitness approached him. He describes the goo as being sentient", Holly read the text with shock.
" Thank you, Holly. You're a miracle", Jenny thanked her.
" What are you doing, Jenny? You sound very shocked. Is this important?", Holly tried to make some sense of the situation.
" I'll tell you once I get back. Bye!", Jenny told her and hung up.
She couldn't believe it. Jenny had wished that she was wrong. Turns out she wasn't.
The shock and terror slid across her spine. If that didn't prove something was off, then nothing would.
Jenny went back into the room and the doctor as well as the dingo were there waiting for her.
" Have you relaxed?", the dingo asked.
" I wasn't freaking out", answered Jenny.
She glanced at the doctor.
" Just thinking, you wouldn't happen to have taken a sample of that goo", Jenny asked her.
The doctor seemed weirded out.
" It was just oil. Why would we take a sample of that? And the floor was cleaned. We don't have any left", the doctor shook her head and shrugged.
" Damn. It could have given us a clue. I need to take a look at this black goo. I want to see if it truly is alive", Jenny cursed.
The dingo looked at Carrie and got an idea.
" We could open her up. See if there's any goo left inside her", he suggested.
The doctor disagreed.
" No! No way! If she wakes up while she is opened up, it will cause her to flip out even more", she informed them.
The dingo was afraid of it. But it was the only way to figure out what was wrong with Carrie.
" We need to take that risk. I want to solve this mystery. Carrie would want it too if she was in my place", the dingo nodded with a determined expression on his face.
The doctor agreed to help him and Jenny.
They started working on Carrie and slowly opened her face plates.
While operating, Jenny spoke with the dingo.
" She must be important to you. Did you come from the same pizzeria?", asked Jenny.
" No, we didn't. We are just friends. I don't even remember my pizzeria", the dingo said sadly.
" You don't? Was it that bad?", Jenny chuckled.
" Not actually. Fredbear messed with our minds to cause amnesia", the dingo explained to her.
" Why?", Jenny frowned.
The dingo sighed.
" We needed to put away the bad memories and devote ourselves to the cause. Kill all humans", the dingo told her.
" Wow. Do seriously none of you remember anything?", Jenny was astonished.
" No. It depends on the animatronic, how much memories he looses. I lost everything.
The pink bunny lost some memories. She still remembers her origin at least", the dingo corrected.
" I get it. That's why you refer to her as the pink bunny, even though she is your friend", Jenny got the idea.
" True. We can't remember our names. We didn't bother to make new ones. Not that we needed them really.
We called each other friends and buddies and the superiors called us slaves or didn't bother to call us anything at all", the dingo nodded.
" Carrie seems to know her name", Jenny pointed out.
" Fredbear was a sadistic monster. He didn't do anything to Carrie even though she begged for him to wipe her memory.
According to him, it gave her strength", the dingo shivered in disgust.
" He told her, it was going to make her remember to trust nobody. He thought she was going to fight to the death", the dingo added after getting over the disgust.
" You hate Fredbear. Good to know. Makes helping you easier", Jenny smiled a bit.
At that second, she got through Carrie's inner plates and saw her wiring.
" Why? Did you even know Fred?", the dingo asked her.
" Not really", answered Jenny.
" He murdered my cousin. That bear stabbed him in the back like a true coward", Jenny explained to him.
" Sorry to hear. Please don't hate us for it. We aren't evil. We had just lost our way and started to follow an inspiring leader", the dingo pleaded.
" Why would I be angry at you? You didn't kill my cousin. Fredbear did", Jenny was a little bit shocked.
The dingo sighed.
" Fredbear and Springlock would have never gotten to join the Legends if we hadn't been there for him.
Technically, the death of your cousin was our fault", answered the dingo.
Jenny shook her head.
" No, it wasn't. If I do a mistake and it ends up killing Carrie, you won't be mad at me. It was an accident more or less", Jenny told him.
" That's true but I would prefer if Carrie remained alive", the dingo did not want to think about what they were doing.
" I've got this", Jenny assured him.
They had to stop talking because they needed to focus.
Jenny had reached the core and looked around in there.
The core was still working and everything seemed to be in order as well.
Jenny cursed in her mind. There seemed to be no goo left.
The wires had not been cut and the core plates were unharmed.
Carrie was open but still asleep. Perfect.
If only Jenny could find some goo, at least a drop or a few.
" Can you find any goo? Is it all gone? Can we wake Carrie up safely?", the dingo whispered to Jenny's ear.
" I wouldn't recommend that", the doctor told him.
Jenny grunted in frustration. This was impossible.
There was no way the goo could have just appeared out of thin air and vanished.
She searched the outer levels of Carrie's system. There were some broken wires and damaged plates.
All those had been caused by Carrie herself.
Some plates had broken during Carrie and the pink bunny's fight. The rest had been caused by the witches who had stunned her.
There was no damage from before.
At this point, it was clear that Carrie had not broken down. Her system was fine despite the damaged plates and wires.
Jenny grunted again and glanced at the dingo sadly.
" I can't find any goo. It's like it just vanished", she sighed.
" How about the damages? Are they great?", the doctor moved forward.
She was more interested in the damage dealt to Carrie's system by the mental breakdown.
" This is impossible", the doctor gasped in shock as she looked inside.
" Do you believe me now? Carrie's system is not damaged", the dingo asked her.
" Yea. I believe you", the doctor told him slowly.
" What the heck is wrong with her then? We don't have goo. We don't have anything. We have no clues", Jenny got angry.
This was not a small incident. It was a new phenomenon, like of which no one had ever seen.
That's the only thing Jenny could describe it as. A phenomenon.
It scared her.
Her witch blood was telling her to go home and lock the doors. It was screaming it into her ear.
" This has to be a nightmare", she muttered to herself.
The dingo placed his face near Carrie's and kissed her cheek.
" Sorry, Carrie. I love you", he told her as his ears drooped.
" Wait a second", the doctor shouted quickly.
Jenny and the dingo looked at her. She had gotten their attention.
" Maybe we are looking for the wrong thing", she thought out loud.
She glanced at them.
" Perhaps the secret is simply out of our sight. We could try going inside her head", the doctor suggested.
The dingo did not like the idea.
" I don't want her brain to get actually damaged", the dingo shook his head.
" No, not like that. Let's call in Carrie's psychologist. She can go into her mind", corrected the doctor.
And that's what they did. They told the guards to go and get her.
They brought the woman inside.
" I hope this is urgent because my day was about to end", she said as she came in.
" It's about Carrie", the dingo told her.
" Well..in that case. Okay! What do I have to do?", the psychologist was ready.
" You need to check if her mind is alright. But be careful", Jenny informed her.
" I always am", the woman nodded.
She placed her palms on the sides of Carrie's snout.
Carrie had been put back together while they had been waiting for the psychologist.
Her eyes turned blue and the pupils diminished. She went into a trance of some sorts.
She was a powerful telepath.
She did not only break into Carrie's mind, she united with it. The energy which floated through Carrie, was as fast as a rapid.
It was a sign of stress and fear. It was nothing new.
Carrie had to be calmed down. She had to find something that was out of order.
Then she found it.
Carrie was drowning in darkness. Her psychologist got worried. She had checked Carrie before the incident and she had been fine.
What had happened? She was all broken inside.
There may not have been black goo in Carrie's system but her mind was full of it.
It was a never ending fountain of evil which was empowered by Carrie's fear and tearful past.
There was no hope in that corrupted mind. The psychologist realized that she was doomed.
Uniting with the mind had not been such a good idea. She was getting tangled in the web of oil.
There was something in it. There were dozens of arms grabbing onto her.
" Help! Help us! Or die!", the voices were shouting at her.
Her mind was being sucked into the eternal darkness.
" Get off me!", the woman shouted.
Her mind was too strong for them.
She was confident and there was family waiting for her back home.
They were not going to take her. She gasped and realized she was in her own mind.
" What happened to you?", the dingo was in front of her face.
She realized that she had gotten out and ran towards the door in a hurry.
" Wait! What did you see?", asked Jenny.
" I saw the end", the woman told her and opened the door.
" Help us with this then. Don't go! We need you", Jenny tried to get her to stay.
" No, Miss Summers! You need a miracle.
You need to pray for the God to save you even if it is pointless", the psychologist shook her head and closed the door behind her.
That was all that they heard her say.
She left the facility and Jenny was left without answers.
They didn't know what had scared the woman out of her mind. The danger was right on top of them.
The worst part was that the psychologist had not seen the end.
She had seen the Beginning.
Farewell: In the next chapter: Storm Jr. and her nightmares.
I was suppose to make this part short and cover Storm Jr. in this chapter but the plan failed.
Let's move on and tell the world: THE ONLY WAY TO LIVE IS TO WRITE.
