AN: Huh, strange I usually don't upload this late. Ah, whatever, here's a new chapter, I'm sure Thomas is happy to see it.
Thomas: I want to kill that bear.
Me: Geez, Thomas isn't that a little excessive?
Thomas: Whatever, he deserves it.
Me:...Anyway, let the chapter commence!
Chapter 4: Secrets and Lies
"6:15," Thomas said out loud, looking at the clock in the dining hall, "he should be here soon." Who was Thomas waiting for, his boss Roy Fazbear who happened to be the manager of the restaurant. The guard looked up at the stage, all the animatronics were back in their usual spots. He gave a friendly smile at Chica while glaring at Freddy. Once Thomas told Chica the plan, the 6 AM bell rang but the chicken waited a minute so she wouldn't have to explain what happened to the others. Bonnie gave him a shocked look when they walked out, but didn't say anything.
The sound of the front door opening rang through the silent pizzeria, and not more than a minute later the manager walked into the dining hall. He saw Thomas sitting on one of the tables, "Didn't think I'd see you here Thomas, you're usually gone by the time I get here." The guard shrugged, "Never had a reason to stay before." Mr. Fazbear nodded, "I see and what is the reason?" He pointed to Chica, "Someone had a little accident." The manager walked over to the chicken, a sad look on his face, "Oh no, Chica." He inspected the damage, "This isn't good, you can't perform with this and we don't have the money to hire you a technician." Thomas saw his opening, "Actually, I know my way around machines boss, I could fix her free of charge." Mr. Fazbear gave the guard a very confused look, "You would? Even with…...ahem, nevermind. I can't not pay you though, how about I pay you in pizzas?" Thomas shrugged again, "If you want. My tools are at my apartment, I'll have to work on her there if it's alright." The manager nodded, "By all means." "Alright," Thomas stood up, clapping his hands, "I can take her now. I just need to load her into my car."
After Thomas drove back to his apartment building, he noticed the chicken in his backseat was powered off. "Great," Thomas groaned, opening the back door of his car, "more work." He pulled Chica from the back seat and threw one of her arms over his shoulder for leverage. It was difficult enough trying to carry the chicken with two people, one person was just miserable. After a good five minutes, he reached a flight of stairs. "Screw it," Thomas said, catching his breath, "time for magic." He closed his eyes, focusing on the earth around him, "The strength of an earth titan." Thomas's arms got a strange, faint, shine to them and turned slightly darker. He then picked up Chica bridal style and started walking up the stairs to his apartment. "I love magic."
Once inside of his apartment, Thomas placed the chicken on his couch and went to get some food from his fridge. He just took out a bottle of tea and sat beside Chica on the couch, turning on his TV. There wasn't anything interesting on, being honest why would there be at almost 7 AM, so he turned off the T.V and went into a secret room he kept locked.
When Chica powered back up, she saw that she was no longer in the pizzeria. "Where am I?" she asked herself, looking around the room. "My place." The chicken looked over towards the voice, to see Thomas. "It worked?" She asked, a smile creeping on her face. The guard nodded, "Follow me, I'll get ya patched up." He began walking down his hallway, Chica close behind. He stopped in front of a wall and placed his hand on it. The chicken gasped when suddenly a door appeared. Thomas opened the door and revealed his secret room, his magic room. There were several tables with various kinds of odd instruments on them, such as flasks and jars of various different colored liquids and plants, a bookshelf completely filled with very old looking books, candles with various different colored flames floating around the place, and strange symbols and drawings covering the walls and floor. Chica was in awe, "Wow." Thomas chuckled, "Yeah, expected that reaction. Sit on that table."
Chica did as he asked and sat on one of the empty tables, making it creak under her weight, and Thomas went over to one of his bookshelves and pulled out one of his books. He walked back over to Chica, opening the book and setting it beside her. "You may feel a tingling sensation." The magician placed his hand on the side of the chicken's head, "Repair what has been lost. Repairous." Chica felt a jolt pass through her body which caused her left arm to jolt towards Thomas's face. Fortunately, he backed away at the last second and she simply knocked of his hat. The magician's face paled and Chica looked at him apologetically, "Thomas, I am so sorry I…...Um, what are those?" Thomas quickly put his free hand over his fox ears while still using the other one to repair Chica, "Y-You didn't see those!" She gave a curious look, "But what are-" "Just drop it!" The chicken shuddered, "S-sorry." Thomas sighed as he finished fixing her and put his hat back on, "Sorry, didn't mean to yell. It's just those are a touchy subject with me." Chica nodded, "I understand, I won't tell anyone about it." The magician sighed in relief, "Thanks. You're all fixed by the way." Chica smiled, "They're kinda cute you know." Thomas blushed, "How about we just go watch a movie or something?" She nodded and followed him back out to is living room.
Back at the pizzeria, Fazbear's just closed for the day and Freddy was pacing back and forth in the Backstage. He was still mad as hell and was trying to think of a way to kill that night guard. Freddy felt as if he was about to explode, not only did that guard somehow brainwash Chica but due to his powers Foxy and Bonnie refuse to even try and get him. The bear growled, "If it's magic he wants, it's magic he gets." Freddy walked to the west hall and stood in front of the poster. "Goldie!" He yelled, "Come here!" A gold colored bear appeared in front of him, his eyes tiny white pinpricks, "What do you want?" Freddy crossed his arms, "We have a problem." "I know," the gold bear replied, "that new guard. I know he has magic." Freddy smiled, "Then you know what to do?" Goldie began to chuckled darkly, "Brother, brother, brother, of course I do. I promise by the end of tonight you will have your guard." The brown bear began to also laugh evilly, "Thank you brother."
Once Freddy was back on stage, Bonnie was immediately questioning him, "Ok, spill the beans what happened to Chica?" The bear knew that if he told the truth he wouldn't be trusted anymore, so he saw the perfect opportunity to get the others to hate the guard. "It was that new guard of ours." The rabbit went wide eyed, "W-what!?" Freddy nodded, "That's right, I saw it with my own two eyes. Chica thought she'd give it a shot at trying to get him but he somehow used that strange power of his to hurt her." Bonnie grit his teeth, "I'm gonna kill him!" Freddy chuckled, "Don't worry, we will be able to soon. I just enlisted the help of Goldie."
Foxy listened to the conversation between the two on stage from his cove, unbeknownst to Freddy, the fox had seen what ACTUALLY happened to Chica. "That no good bilge rat," he muttered to himself, "what kinda captain lies to his own crew?" This got Foxy thinking, if Freddy was lying about what happened last night what else has he lied about? "Are ta night guards really bad?" he asked himself, "Have we actually been doin' ta right thing?" Suddenly, a voice spoke in Foxy's head, "He used magic to hurt you! Of course he's evil!" It was the voice of a child, the spirit of the child that haunted Foxy. "But lad," the fox replied, "the captain just lied about what happened last night, what if he be lying about this lad being evil?" The child stayed silent. Foxy sighed, "'Sides, the lad was probably just defendin' himself from me." The fox felt a feeling of guilt resonate from the child's spirit, "What about the other guards then?" Foxy went wide eyed, "Oh sweet Neptune."
Me: Ok Thomas I had a change of heart, Freddy may deserve it.
Thomas: Atleast Foxy is coming to his senses.
Me: I think Chica has the hots for you.
Thomas: Fox, I swear to god...
