Greeting: A monster has slipped in. It is walking among the animatronics as Storm Jr. But there is more.
The brown wolf, Jenner, is still asleep. Let's check him out. Enjoy!
( Crystal and Willa with the brown wolf. Backstage)
They had brought the brown wolf to the backstage. Willa thought it might have been a calming place for both him and Crystal.
They had put the wolf to the bed, Foxy had lain in.
It was more comfortable than where they had left him first. Foxy's sudden outburst had been more important than the brown wolf.
He had been left into one of the party rooms.
Luckily, Mike had taken care of him during those hours when Foxy had still been sleeping.
Crystal was glad to be still alive and her leg was shivering because of it. She had never even considered that she would be alive by then.
Willa had told her to focus on cleaning up the brown wolf. He was extremely cute but dirty as heck.
It was no wonder considering what he had gone through. Willa hadn't been there but it sounded horrible.
" At least he is safe now. All fixed and well, just like Faith", thought Willa.
She was leaning into a wall and trying to see if there was any dirt left. She had a towel in her hand as she had been wiping the dirt off the wolf.
" Is he clean now, Willa? Doesn't look like it", Crystal peered at the wolf from the other side of the bed.
Willa wiped the wolf's neck with her finger and checked it for dirt.
" Difficult to say really. He is so brown. The dirt blends in with his fur", then Willa glanced at Crystal.
The wolf was a sight to behold. There was a weird tint of happiness in his teeth.
The wolf's upper teeth were in front of his lower lip when the mouth was closed. It was the same as with many of the other wolves and foxes.
Willa hadn't paid special attention to that design but the brown wolf made her think of it. The way his teeth were always showing looked good on him.
Willa didn't see herself marrying the wolf though, not like her parents wanted.
There was something special about the wolf but it wasn't his charm.
The wolf looked familiar to Willa, she recognized him. It was weird since she had never seen that wolf.
He reminded her of Storm Jr. a little bit.
Maybe that was why he looked so adorable.
Crystal noticed how Willa leaned in to take a closer look at the wolf. Willa's eyes widened for some reason.
She looked scared.
" Does he scare you? He scares me a bit", Crystal asked Willa.
" What? Excuse me", Willa's thoughts were interrupted.
She looked at Crystal and her pupils got smaller.
" Does he scare you? Your eyes widened there for a second", Crystal asked her again.
Willa backed away from the wolf and glanced at his face.
" Does he scare me?", Willa asked herself.
Crystal waited for an answer. For a second, she thought that Willa would not answer at all.
" No, he doesn't. He scares you? Why?", Willa glanced at her and asked Crystal in turn.
Crystal glanced at the brown wolf.
" I don't know. It is hard to explain. I can hardly even understand it myself. It is weird. He sort of..", Crystal tried to look for the word.
" ..looks familiar to you. Is that it?", Willa finished her sentence.
Then it was the turn for Crystal's eyes to widen.
" Yea. Exactly. He looks cute but I don't understand why. It's scary in a way.
Also, your sister forgot about Leslie as soon as he showed up", Crystal nodded at the wolf.
Willa raised her eyebrows in awe.
" He must have been one adorable trash pile back then. Nothing can make my sister forget Leslie", Willa couldn't believe it.
" Nothing", she repeated and stared into Crystal's eyes.
The fox showed no signs of lying, she had been serious.
" That's what I thought. Storm Jr. assured me that she was still thinking about Leslie.
According to her, saving him was only suppose to take a minute", explained Crystal.
Willa pondered for a second and rubbed her own chin.
" That sounds more like Storm Jr. Still, why did she want to rescue him?", Willa asked Crystal.
The fox tried to get inside the thoughts of Storm Jr. The train of thought that ran inside Storm Jr.'s head was quite easy to track down.
" She wanted to be a hero, I guess. More fighters means a better chance to get Leslie back", Crystal shrugged at Willa.
The wolf did not look like much of a fighter. He didn't have a strong build, he was actually quite thick.
Animatronics were faster and stronger than humans but the brown wolf had not been built for fighting.
Like Shadow had said, the animatronic might have been from another pizzeria.
" That makes sense. I'm sure Storm Jr. had her own reasons. At least we will have another friend. He will be so happy that we saved him.
I hope he is less like Foxy and more like Springtrap", Willa wished.
Crystal's ears drooped after that.
" What's wrong with dad?", she asked the hopeful wolf.
Willa blushed in embarrassment.
" Nothing. Sorry, Crystal. I didn't mean to say that out loud. Your father is kind", Willa corrected.
Crystal nodded and her ears stopped drooping.
" It's okay. I got your point. I really hope he is like Springtrap. We could use more like him", Crystal agreed with Willa.
" We already have so many fighters. Springtrap and Catty are good but we need more positiveness in the pizzeria.
Imagine having another Springtrap", Willa giggled.
Crystal giggled too. Then a door, leading to the Arcade palace, opened behind Crystal.
" That would be good. For you and for me", a fox said by the door.
Crystal turned around and looked at her father.
Foxy had been on the other side of the door and heard their conversation.
Willa was unsure of how long Foxy had been there but it didn't matter.
" Hi, Foxy", Willa greeted him.
Foxy stepped inside and looked at Crystal.
" Hi, dad. Doing well?", Crystal asked him.
Foxy smiled a tiny bit.
" I'm just fine. Mike told me I would find you here. I just want to see if you are alright. You know, after all that", Foxy answered her.
Crystal wasn't doing too bad, she could have been a lot worse. Like dead for instance.
" We are cleaning up the wolf. We want someone to be here when he wakes up", Crystal told Foxy.
" That is if he wakes up at all", Willa added.
Crystal glanced at her with a worried expression on her face.
" Of course he wakes up. He isn't dead, Mike said so", Crystal said to her.
Foxy walked to his daughter.
" I'm sure he wakes up very soon. Let's hope his awakening is calm. I could stay here if you want. But only if you want to", Foxy looked straight into Crystal's eyes.
" Dad. If you want to be with me, just say so. You don't need to make up any excuses", Crystal said to him.
Foxy patted her shoulder and got closer to her face.
" I just hope you're not angry with me, honey. It was just a one-time thing", Foxy was sincere.
Willa walked around the bed and put her towel away.
" I'm sure she isn't. We have been talking about that. I think we have spent enough time alone and calmed down already.
Don't you think so too, Crystal?", Willa told Foxy.
Willa looked at Crystal, hoping she wouldn't send Foxy away. Willa's concern was pointless.
" I do. You can join us, dad. It's good to have a third opinion", Crystal answered.
" A third opinion on what?", Foxy chuckled at the girls.
Willa and Crystal's gazes gave it away. Their eyes glanced at the brown wolf.
Foxy went closer and sat on the foot of the bed.
" He looks alright to me. He is in coma. Shadow thinks it's been caused by a traumatic experience.
He might launch out of the bed and ask you a lot of questions but he doesn't seem violent", said Foxy.
Willa disagreed.
" Leslie didn't seem dangerous either at first. We know what happened to mom when she was not careful with him", Willa pointed out.
Foxy and Crystal remembered that. Storm had almost been torn to bits.
Jenner had made Fang beg and laughed at his misery.
Willa had a strong point. The wolf seemed different though.
" Does he seem familiar to you, dad? We think he does. I didn't notice it at the factory but after staring at him, I noticed it.
Now that he is fixed up and we are not dying, I see that he looks like.. Can you guess?", Crystal told him.
Foxy smiled at her and Willa. Then he glanced at the wolf quickly.
" He does have the same type of build as Storm Jr. I agree with you on that. I think he might be a good boyfriend for her", Foxy shrugged.
Willa and Crystal glanced at one another. Foxy had made a good point.
Had Storm Jr. fallen in love with the new wolf?
" That could explain why she forgot Leslie when she saw him", Crystal told Willa.
" Storm Jr.? Forgetting Leslie? You are funny, lass", Foxy petted his daughter's head.
Crystal looked into his eyes.
" But she did. This wolf was not important but Storm Jr. saved him anyway", Crystal argued.
Foxy shook his head.
" You were there, Crystal. You must remember how sad Storm Jr. was when we wanted to leave. She hasn't let Leslie go.
I thought about this wolf comforting her. He could make her feel better", Foxy chuckled.
Crystal and Willa thought about it. It was worth considering. If Leslie was never going to come back, the wolf could become Storm Jr.'s new boyfriend.
" We could at least try to make them fall in love. Storm Jr. will otherwise never be truly happy again", Willa said to Crystal who smiled at her.
Right then, Willa's hand was touched. She took a step back and froze her hand.
The wolf's hand had tried to grab hers.
" He moved his hand. I think he is waking up", Willa went into her fighting stance.
Crystal reacted to her friend's move and copied her. Crystal got ready too and pulled a sword out.
Foxy stood up and looked at the two girls.
" Whoa. Calm down, hot heads. We don't want to scare the crap out of him. I wouldn't want to see this when I woke up", Foxy calmed them down.
The girls took a deep breath and put their weapons away.
" That's it. Let's not attack unless he attacks us first", Foxy smiled at them.
Foxy was right but Willa couldn't help but disagree.
" Says the fox who attacked an innocent bunny", thought Willa.
She didn't say it out loud luckily. Crystal and Willa had sort of been scaring each other when they had been by themselves.
They would have attacked the wolf if Foxy hadn't told them to take it easy.
The brown wolf was gently moving his eyelids. It was the first time he had showed any signs of activity since Leslie's banishment.
The Fazbears were lucky that the wolf wasn't with Electra right then.
Willa took the wolf's hand and petted his arm tenderly.
" Let's make sure he doesn't freak out when he wakes up", Willa told Foxy and Crystal.
The foxes went to work. Crystal leaned over the wolf's body. Foxy went to the side where the wolf's head was.
He touched the wolf's shoulder and kept his hand there.
" Wakey, wakey. Open your eyes, sleepy head. You have been sleeping for a long time", Foxy said to the wolf as the eyes began to move more.
Foxy was sure that the wolf could hear him. The brown wolf's mouth opened a little.
He squeezed Willa's hand.
The wolf opened his eyes and glanced at Willa.
He said nothing.
" Take it easy. Just lie there, don't hurry. It's okay, you're safe with us", Willa tried to sound like Storm.
The wolf looked confused and a sudden tint of panic took over his gaze.
" Are you all dead? Is this the afterlife?", the wolf muttered with a gentle voice.
It wasn't cute squeaking like Springtrap's voice but it was gentle just like the wolf himself.
Foxy pushed him back down when he tried to get up. Crystal helped her father and pushed the wolf's chest down.
" Just rest. We have just fixed your wounds. I promise you that you are safe. You are not dead and neither are we.
And we won't hurt you. Take it easy", Foxy told him.
The wolf looked around and saw Crystal.
Willa was still holding his hand. Crystal was touching his legs.
" Does it hurt if I touch your thighs and feet? They were very wounded when we found you", Crystal was checking him out.
The wolf's head was dizzy.
" My head hurts. It's frozen", the wolf moaned.
" Another reason for you to stay still. Let's wait until the headache is gone. Then we can try to get you up.
It will take time but it's worth it. Be patient. I know you're confused but you'll get answers", Foxy promised the brown wolf.
He seemed to have no idea of where he was.
" Is this...I don't know", the wolf got an idea but it faded as soon as he thought about it.
Crystal saw no wounds and the wolf didn't moan when she was touching him.
" Do you know who you are? Do you remember anything?", Willa asked the wolf.
He seemed to be confused and Willa thought he might have had amnesia. The wolf closed his eyes and tried to recall anything at all.
" I can't..my head. Why? Who did this? Who the hell are you?", the wolf forced the words out of his mouth.
He tried to launch up but Foxy stopped him once again.
" It's alright. Hey. Slow down your breath. Panicking is what you don't want to do right now.
I'm Foxy, that's my daughter Crystal", Foxy introduced himself and Crystal.
" Hi. It's so good to see you awake", Crystal smiled kindly.
The wolf glanced at Foxy after glancing at Crystal. The brown wolf looked at him confusedly.
" And that wolf right there is Willa. Her sister is the one that found you. We saved you from an evil place", Foxy introduced Willa.
" An evil place?", asked the brown wolf.
Willa got closer.
" Yes. An evil place. Do you remember it? Try to. I know you are scared and confused but it's just amnesia", Willa encouraged him.
The wolf obviously could not remember any of it. He was as confused as a fly in space.
" I remember..a light. It was like a million suns all together. Is the sun actually bright? I feel that I have been on a very long trip", the wolf stuttered.
Willa glanced at Foxy worriedly.
" I know, Willa. That sounds bad", his gaze told her.
The wolf was unsure if the sun was bright or not. Something had messed up his mind.
" Don't confuse your mind with it. Just..um..I know! Focus on your name. What is your name, fella?", Foxy asked the wolf.
The brown wolf shook his head.
" I want to get up first. My head is clearer now. I need to get up", the wolf said to Foxy.
The wolf started to get up and Foxy kept him from going too fast.
" Take it easy. Go very slowly. If you feel pain, feel free to rest down again", Foxy informed the wolf who nodded.
Crystal put her hand on the wolf's back as he got up. The wolf did it very well.
Willa helped him too. The brown wolf was up in no time.
" Are you still okay?", Foxy asked him when he was sitting up.
" Yea. I think so. I feel no pain", the wolf answered and turned to face the edge of the bed.
He slid his legs over it and touched the floor. Willa helped him up by wrapping her arm around his body.
" He isn't so bad. Why were we scared of him? He has been treated horribly, he can't even remember anything. Poor guy", thought Willa.
The brown wolf got up without anything too crucial going wrong.
Foxy checked him from head to toe.
" So. Can you focus on your name? We would like to call you something. A nice guy like you must have a name", Foxy was in front of his face, smiling.
The brown wolf tried so hard but the light was too bright.
" It's like my journey lasted forever. I have forgotten my name. I can't remember anything.
I know that earth is round and people are happy but nothing else", the wolf told the others.
" Well that is good at least. Do you know what you are? Is it weird to have a snout?", Crystal asked him.
He sounded like someone who had been killed and moved to an animatronic body.
Crystal could still recall the first moments of her second life. How she had not known anything about her past life.
Foxy and Vixey had said that they were her parents. Crystal had just accepted that.
The brown wolf sounded like he was going through that too.
" What? No. It feels nice. I'm a wolf. An animatronic, that's what I am", the wolf answered her.
Crystal's theory was busted.
" So. Is it just the three of you?", the wolf asked at the right moment.
The curtain, replacing one of the walls, moved as a happy wolf and two girls came in.
" I think you might..hi!", Storm Jr. noticed them.
Willa was right between her and the new wolf.
" Hi. Did you come to see if the wolf was awake? Well, he is", Willa greeted her sister.
Storm Jr. was smiling and holding Harriet's hand. The brown wolf looked at Storm Jr. weirdly.
" Who is this life of the party?", he asked Willa.
Storm Jr. peeked over Willa's shoulder before she could answer.
" Oh! You are awake. How nice? I thought you had to wake up sooner or later", Storm Jr. pushed Willa out of the way quite rudely.
Julisa and Harriet were astonished, Storm Jr. was extremely glad to see the new wolf.
The brown wolf didn't know what to think of this weirdly happy animatronic.
Storm Jr. stumbled a bit.
She looked like she had to fight an instinct to fall on her knees.
" Welcome to our pizzeria. You must be really eager to meet everyone", smiled Storm Jr.
" Well, yea, I am", the wolf didn't know what to say.
Foxy touched Storm Jr.'s shoulder.
" Actually, he isn't well yet. We thought about letting Mike have a look first", he told Storm Jr.
" Oh. Foxy, that is nonsense. Come, newcomer", Storm Jr. shook her head at Foxy and giggled.
Willa and Crystal looked at each other.
" She hasn't forgotten Leslie, has she? I think she might have", Willa told Crystal.
The fox agreed with her, Storm Jr. was joyful. She was already dragging the wolf to the main room.
" So, new wolf. What is your name? I'm Storm Jr. Nice to meet you", Storm Jr. bowed like a fine lady.
The new wolf stopped and she stopped as well.
" I actually don't know. I know you. They say you found me. I thank you for that. I would love to tell you my name but I just can't recall it", the brown wolf seemed sad.
Foxy came to him.
" It's alright. We'll make you a new name. How about..?", Foxy looked around.
He tried to make up a name.
" Storm Jr. seems to like him", Willa glanced at Crystal.
They had been talking in the background.
" That's it!", exclaimed Foxy.
" He likes Storm Jr. and she likes him. Maybe they could have similar names. Like Thunder for instance. Storm and Thunder", Foxy made up a name.
The brown wolf smiled at him.
" No! It can't be! Thunder is a name for a runt", Storm Jr. snapped suddenly.
The others looked at her.
" Why not, Storm Jr.? It sounds nice", Foxy asked in a calm tone.
Storm Jr.'s rage was gone in a second.
" Sorry! I meant to say that someone with a name like that will crush runts under his feet. It's fine with me", Storm Jr. looked embarrassed.
Willa and Crystal had gotten scared there for a second. They shrugged it off.
Storm Jr. was so jumpy that day.
" I like Thunder. It sounds like a name for me", the brown wolf told Foxy who chuckled.
" Thunder it is then. Welcome to our family, Thunder. You're one of us now", Foxy hugged the brown wolf.
" Thank you, Foxy. I will love to be in your family", Thunder wrapped his arms around Foxy.
" Let's go introduce you to our friends", Foxy led Thunder out of the backstage.
Everyone left and went after Foxy and Thunder. Harriet and Julisa were excited to have a new animatronic to play with.
The wolf sisters were the last ones in the backstage room.
Willa stopped by Storm Jr.
The sisters smiled at each other.
" You are so joyful, sister. You like him, don't you?", Willa giggled.
Storm Jr. covered her cheeks. It was probably to hide the fact that she was blushing.
" Yea. A little bit", Storm Jr. revealed.
Willa giggled at her and shook her own head. She left and Storm Jr. stayed in place.
Storm Jr. removed her hands from her face to reveal perfectly normal cheeks with no red on them.
" I like him. I bet I'll like him even more when burns this place to the ground. Just wait until that stupid amnesia passes. I will enjoy watching him kill you.
I swear this, brat. Your sister will have to watch helplessly as I sit here while you beg me to save you.
She will suffer, just like the rest of you", the new Storm Jr. whispered.
No one could hear her. Willa was already too far away to hear anything.
Storm Jr. walked forward and smiled at everyone around her.
´She will suffer, just like the rest of you´ was left floating in the air like the dust of dried bones.
Farewell: Jenner is up. Let's hope his amnesia lasts. Like for a very long time.
Remember that every satisfied reader is a reason for me to smile. Keep on reading, I hope this chapter left most of you satisfied.
Remember: THE ONLY WAY TO LIVE IS TO WRITE.
