~ Flashback ~
Savannah, what...What are you doing here?" Riff asked as the young girl ranger began to turn back into her normal human form.
"I should be asking you the same thing, Riff. You're not allowed to be roaming about during the day. It's dangerous." Savannah said as she looked at him.
Riff sighed.
"Savannah, can I tell you a secret?" He asked as they began to walk towards the door.
"Sure but...can we sit out here?" Savannah said as she looked at him, with a concerned look on her face.
Riff began to scan the area.
Just as he was scanning the area, he began to glitch.
"Riff, are you okay?" Savannah asked, concerned.
Riff mechanically turned around to look at her.
His eyes were black, white and red.
"Riff, whatever has gotten a hold of you just now, I can help you get rid of it. Together." Savannah said as she was trying to help Riff calm down.
Riff's eyes began to return back to normal.
"I'm sorry about that, Savannah. The animatronics and I are not supposed to be outside of the restaurant." Riff said as he was apologizing for earlier.
"That's okay, Riff. Though, how come you and the other animatronics aren't aloud outside?" Savannah said as she was forgiving him.
As Riff was thinking, nothing wouldn't come up.
"I...I can't seem to remember. Maybe we should ask the Puppet." Riff said as he looked at Savannah.
"Wait..." Savannah said as she looked down at her energem, which was glowing and tugging her.
"What is it, Savannah?" Riff asked as he looked at her.
"I'm sensing a spirit nearby but...This spirit..." Savannah said as she felt a strong wave of pain.
She clutched onto her head and cried out.
"Savannah!" Riff said, worried for the young girl.
After Savannah felt the pain, her eyes began to turn white.
...
She was in a blank white space, looking around.
"Hello? Hello? Is anyone there?" Savannah said as she was looking around.
Just then, she saw something black moving inside the white space.
Savannah then heard a loud screeching sound.
She looked around the space.
"Hello?" Savannah said as she heard the thing slithering in the walls.
Then, the black thing came out of the wall and came slithering right towards Savannah.
It was a nightmare Allosaurus.
Savannah screamed.

….
Savannah's eyes returned to normal and she looked at Riff.
"Did you see why us animatronics can't be out here?" Riff asked as he was looking at her.
"I see now." Savannah said as she looked at him.
"Let's get back in." Riff said as he and Savannah began to head towards the door.
...
As Savannah and Riff were walking down the hallway, a thought came across Riff's metallic brain.
"Savannah, have you..." Riff began to say, hesitatingly.
"What is it, Riff? You can tell me anything." Savannah said as they were now outside of the security office.
Just as Riff was about to speak, they began to hear footsteps.
They were quiet and still as they could muster.
Savannah's eyes adjusted to the darkness and she could see someone going into the security office and coming out.
It was Trevor who was going in and Prince Philip coming out.
Prince Philip was looking around in the dark hallway.
Riff looked at Savannah, worried.
"Riff, shh. It's okay." Savannah said as she was trying to comfort him before he could let out a scream.
Prince Philip turned around and looked into the darkness.
"Who's there? Show yourself." He said as he looked into the darkness.
"Riff, stay there. It's okay." Savannah said as she began to take control of the situation.
Savannah began to step out into the light, with a confident posture and a smile on her face.
"Savannah, what are you doing here? I thought you was out, looking for Riff." Prince Philip said as he looked at her.
"I'm already done looking for him. Apparently, he doesn't want to see you right now!" Savannah said as she looked at him, with a rejecting look on her face, saying that she was mad at him.
Riff peeked from where he was hiding at and smiled at Savannah.
He was glad that he wasn't alone anymore.
"Okay, Savannah. Just put Riff back in his normal station." Prince Philip said as he was walking towards the party room.
After Prince Philip left, it was just Savannah and Riff in the hallway.
"Let's get you back to where you belong, Riff." Savannah said as she held her hand in his and they began to walk back to the main party room.
Savannah and Riff walked back to Hangout Cove.
"I'd like to thank you, Savannah." Riff said as they entered the silent cove.
"About what happened earlier?" Savannah said as she was trying to remember.
"Yeah." Riff said as he sat down in his chair.
"You're welcome." Savannah said, with a smile.
Savannah looked at the clock.
It was almost time for lunch break to be over with.
"I want you to take it easy for the rest of the day and I'll talk with you tonight." Savannah said as she was about to walk to the door.
"Alright, Savannah. I will. You take it easy too." Riff said as he turned to look at the girl leaving.
"I will." Savannah said as she walked over to the door, opened it and walked out.
(Okay. Sorry for the short chapter. I'm figuring out how to divide my chapters and taking time to name each one of them. I hope y'all can understand. Anyways, there's a spirit lurking which forbids the animatronics to not come outside. Does it have a tie to the murderer of the children that were killed? Stay tuned for chapter fourteen.)
