Chapter 9 – Memories.
Dark stood for a moment, afraid to speak up until he finally did. "This is where you work, you must remember since you came here first, right?" he questioned. The white fox paused in the middle of what she was doing and turned round to face him. She started at him, her light blue eyes fixed upon him.
"No, this place just seemed interesting. I don't know what you mean." She said to him.
"You, your snow, this is where you work. Im your uh best friend, dark. We always talk to each other remember?" he tried desperately to get some sort of acknowledgement from her.
"Look, Dark. I know your trying but if I remembered this, I remembered you I would have spoken up by now. Im sorry I just don't even remember knowing you, or any of them, so stop bugging me. Please" She went back to what she was originally doing, touching the prizes, staring at them. Dark slouched over slightly, his ears drooped. He wanted to speak, to try even more, but nothing came from him, not a word. He just stood there a crushing sadness came over him. Snow turned back to face him, a sense of guilt hit her but still she didn't know what the two of them had together. She shrugged and moved on down the hallway and disappeared into one of the party rooms.
Jen was walking down the hallway after just have coming out of p/s. She noticed dark still stood there, looking more depressed than ever. Jen walked over to him and lay her hand upon his shoulder. "Hey, whats wrong? Did she not remember anything?" she spoke softly. Dark shuffled over slightly, knocking Jen's hand off of him and turned his back to her. "Cmon dark don't be like that.." she said.
"Its your fault…" he whispered, his tone sad yet angry.
"How, I fixed her?" Jen answered
"So, that's why she doesn't remember a thing? Fixed, yeah ok." He muttered
"Look I don't know what happened, I'll have to check her wiring and whatnot." She explained
Dark sighed and walked away leaving Jen stood by herself for a moment until she went to find Snow. This time snow was sat in the night guard's office, since he was off duty for the night, staring at the variety of decorations strung around the room. There were stars dangling from the ceiling, glitter thrown over the walls and kid's drawings stuck to every surface, yet everything still seemed dark with black stains running down the ceiling. Jen walked up to her. "Hey, how are you doing?" she asked
"getting harassed by a black wolf trying to get me to remember something that I haven't done. What about it?" she explained
"Ah, you see, about that… come here a second" Jen said, shuffling closer to the artic fox. Snow jutted backwards away from the mechanic, confused to what she was doing. "don't worry, I'm just looking at something." Jen reassured her. Snow's sense of panic faded as she sat while Jen did what she was about to do. The mechanic reached around to the back of the fox and lifted a panel at the back of her head to reveal a small switch. Jen flicked this switch and the animatronic soon lost power, becoming lifeless once again. Then she opened panels on the robot, revealing the network of wires inside surrounding the endoskeleton. There seemed to be no fault until she reached the head section where the slot for the memory chip was found to be empty. "shit.." Jen mumbled to herself, closing the panels on the animatronic and once again flicking the power switch. Snow jumped up, backing away from Jen.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST DO TO ME?!" snow yelled.
"calm down, I was just checking you" Jen tried to reassure her
"don't ever touch me again.." snow trembled, backing even further away until she finally turned around and walked away, bumping into dark who just stared at her.
'where was the last point when I had her memory chip.. in the uhhh P/S. It should be there right?' Jen thought to herself before making her way down the hall towards p/s. She stared at the piles of junk and boxes. This may take a while…
