*In Mari's Room*
Foxy sat next on the bed, holding Mari's hand. She felt cold but the thermometer said she was fine. Chica had already returned with the water and heartburn pills but they didn't know if they should give them to her while she was unconscious. Chica was sitting in a chair close to the bed, her leg bouncing repeatedly. They were both nervous and scared for their friend. Obviously this has happened before judging by how Jynx reacted but they still weren't sure what caused it. Hell they didn't even know Mari had a heart condition. "Please my Queen, please wake up. I will dress up in my costume as much as you want just please wake up," Foxy begged. He was nearing tears. 'Doesn't she know how much I still love her?' he thought. "Damn it Mari, WAKE UP!" Foxy screamed at her.
"Screaming at her to wake won't help," said a new voice. Chica and Foxy turned to see a middle aged woman with a medical bag. It was Mari's doctor. "There is only one way to wake her up after an attack. But do tell me young man, what is she to you?"
"Wha- she's my world. But she... we have a job to do. She said-" Foxy said but his voice began breaking.
"Young man listen to me. You will not like this but there is one thing you can do to help her. You have to stop her from breathing. Her condi-" Doctor Len tried to say but was cut off by Chica's protest.
"If he cuts off her air she'll die!"
"Listen to me. If you want her to wake up then you need to do as I say. Now cut off her air!"
Foxy looked at Mari's sleeping form and pulled the pillow from underneath her head. "I am so sorry," he said before pressing the pillow against her face. However Mari did not thrash around but her breathing quickly stilled.
"Now quickly, very fast press on her chest. Like you're performing CPR."
Foxy did as the doctor asked, waiting for her to tell him to stop. '5-6-7-8' he thought. He was just about to ask when to stop when Mari suddenly jerked up, taking in a deep breath. She stared at Foxy, giving a small smile before collapsing back on the bed and closing her eyes.
"MOVE NOW!" The doctor yelled and pushed him aside. She had her bag open and had pulled out a couple instruments. Foxy and Chica didn't know what she was doing. After what felt like hours but was only minutes, Mari was sitting up right and breathing normally.
"Can someone give me the water and pills? If I'm gonna work tonight, I'm gonna need them. Can someone tell the boss I can't be the Marionette today? Tell him it's doctor's orders. Doctor Len wants me to rest. Hey where's the others?" Mari said, carefully taking her time speaking.
Foxy grabbed the water and pills off the desk they were on and gave them to Mari who took a big gulp for the pills before slowly downing the rest of the water. "Mari, what happened? Why did you collapse?" he asked.
"Well uh see, I kinda have this heart condition that if I get excited too much too quickly I have these attacks. So after the joy ride, that fight with Bonnie kinda almost did me in. I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys earlier," Mari explained sheepishly. She looked down at her lap waiting for someone to say something when she realized nobody answered her question. "Wait, where is everyone?"
This time Chica spoke. "Mangled is taking care of food for the kids and Freddy is on stage. I don't know about Bonnie."
"Derrick is looking after him sweetie. Someone named Mike said he can watch him so nothing happens to you. We didn't want his presence to cause another attack," Doctor Len said.
"You brought Derrick? Doctor you know how he feels about me. I was trying to get away from him when I had my family move us down here and you just brought him straight to me," Mari said.
"I know dear but you have to accept how he is. Just because he looks much older than he is doesn't excuse you for treating him like he's a pedophile."
"He's my cousin! He's only a few months older but he looks-"
"I look what babe? Damn you grew up! The last time I saw you, you were flatter than a blade of grass. Now look at you," said a gruff voice.
"Derrick. Nice to see you. Raped any kids lately?"
"Naw sweet lips, you're the only girl I want. Who would have thought my cousin was a gothic loli?"
"Back off Derrick, I'm with Foxy."
"And I don't mind kickin' some idiotic pervert's ass," Foxy growled standing up to the man. They were the same height but Foxy was a bit slimmer, not ass buff as Mari's cousin.
"Relax kid, if Mari wants us both I don't mind sharing. Hell I'll even let you go first."
"FREDDY!" Mari screamed. It would take both Foxy and Freddy to get Derrick out. Freddy showed up a few seconds later and saw the bulk of the man in Mari's doorway and the way Foxy stared at him.
"I got this Foxy, I know where to take him. You stay here with her," Freddy said calmly.
"Freddy that's against the rules and you know it," Foxy replied.
"When it's customers and co-workers. Besides, if it's hungry we should feed it right?"
"Am I talking to Freddy or Fredrick?"
"Don't say my name!"
"Thought so, take care of him," Foxy said and then went back to Mari's bed. "Well Doc, I think your work here is done. So if you don't mind, leave. Chica go check on Bonnie and help the boss close up. I need to talk to Mari. Oh and Chica, tell Mr. Frazbear about our special guest. It seems like he is waking up." Chica and the Doctor left leaving Foxy with Mari. He looked at her wondering what to say.
"Please say something," Mari said, her voice sounding dead. She had her walls up. The same walls that he took down so many years ago.
"Do you still love me?" he asked, the question being the first thing in his mind.
"Foxy you know-" Mari started, pain filling her words.
"But do you? I heard what you said during the joy ride. You never throw those words around." Foxy stared at her, daring her to say what he hoped but she just remained silent. "Damn it Mari! I need to know! Do you still-mm?!" Foxy was saying but he was cut off by a pair of full soft lips pressing against his. He began to melt into the kiss but the lips had gone.
"Does that answer your question you crazy fox? I can't get emotional right now because I just had an attack! You really think I stopped us because of some asshole biting my arm? Damn it Foxy I got scared. I was scared that if things got big between us, my condition might have caused you to lose me. I would rather love you and not have you than love you and break your heart by dying. Like this, we can still have each other. I don't want to leave you, not like that." Mari was crying now. She was laying back down not even looking at him.
"You could have told me. We could've worked things out. I still love you my puppet. Always have, ever since you were little. I watched you grow from an innocent child to a confused teen into the woman you are today. I fell in love with you, you crazy lady. We all have."
"Wait what?" Mari asked, drying her tears. Did she hear him right?
"Well we all watched you grow but I fell in love with you. As for Bonnie, I think I might have had some competition."
"You watched me as I grew up? What the hell? How old are you guys?"
"Fuck I forgot to tell you that... Well uh you see me and the gang, we're kinda immortal. We don't age so uh..."
"The fuck? We dated for six fucking months and you just happen to forget to tell me you guys are immortal? What the hell Foxy?"
"The thing is, well now you're immortal too. Yeah um anybody who willingly puts on a suit and works here become immortal. Something happened with the old store and a curse was placed on the suits. Freddy knows more about it than I do."
"So you are telling me, that because I put on the Marionette costume and helped y'all with the kid I became immortal? Is that why Mr. Frazbear freaked out on Freddy that day?"
"Yeah... Are you still upset?"
"Well let's see, my favorite person in the world was a creeper before I knew him, some stupid shit happened, details happened and now I'm immortal. Nope, not upset at all."
"Are you being sarcastic?"
"Nope, but I do have a question. If I'm immortal why did I have an attack?"
"Umm, one sec. Be right back," Foxy said leaving the room. He returned with a soda and a slice of pizza. "Can you taste any of this?" He asked handing it too her.
She popped open the soda and took a few gulps before giving a confused look. She glanced at the pizza before taking a bite, giving the same confused look as she swallowed. "Foxy why can't I taste my soda and pizza?"
"Damn, I was afraid of that. Mari-,"
"You gotta clock in," Mike said bursting into the room. "Do you know how much time has passed?"
"Umm only a few minutes?" Mari asked.
"Little lady, it's been hours. Your doctor showed up only thirty minutes before closing. I thought suit wearers knew about the time shift of planes?"
"Time shift? What are you talking about, Mike? You make it sound like I'm dead," Mari said.
"You ain't tell her? The hell man, you know the rules." Mike said to Foxy.
"I'm a fucking pirate fox, rules don't apply to me."
"Tell that to the boss, see what he says. C'mon Mari, let's get to work." Mike said helping Mari off the bed. She was still in her school clothes, so he helped her look for her uniform before leaving the room. "Foxy you staying?"
"Ain't nothing I haven't seen before. Now go so I can explain things while she's like this."
"Good luck, just send her out before it wakes up again." Don't want a repeat of the last guy who worked with me."
"Alright fine go!" Foxy said, sending Mike running down the hall. "Mari?"
"Yes?" Mari replied as she took off her shirt showing the black lace bra underneath.
"Look as for what Mike said about the whole time shift thing don't worry about it for right now okay? But umm if you feel weird or like something is wrong in about a month you let me know okay?"
"Mm, well if it's not that bad that I can wait a month before something might happen I guess it's okay," she answered throwing her pants in a random direction. Foxy had to control himself at the sight of her purple thong. Mari could feel him staring. "You know I try not to match my bra and panties. That's how girls get killed in places like this."
"Doesn't mean I can't look. And if you bend over one more time I'm gonna shove my dick so far in your pussy, you won't walk straight for a month!" Foxy growled, his pants becoming very uncomfortable.
"Mmm, maybe later sweetie. But I have a job to do. However you can help me with my uniform," Mari teased.
"Fuck it, I'll take what I can get!" Foxy said grabbing the dark blue slacks off the bed and carefully helped Mari put them on. As he pulled them up, he stopped at her thighs, staring right where he sweet treasure was hidden. Taking a chance, he sniffed at the spot. 'Sweet fuck, she smells like strawberries!' he thought. Before he could go any further, he forced himself to pull her pants the rest of the way up and closed them. Next was the undershirt she was supposed to wear.
"Foxy?" Mari said, seeing him stare at her breasts with the undershirt in his hands. "Foxy, sweetie I have to get dressed," she stated pulling him out of his trance.
"Sorry," he said helping pull the shirt down over her C-cups. "You're just so beautiful."
Mari blushed and quickly grabbed the button up uniform top, putting it on herself. "See you after work," she said leaving the room with Foxy watching her.
"Get it together! You both have a job to do. Work and love don't mix remember? That's how you got Mangled in this mess. Now you got Mari in it too. Why can't you ever behave? Bad dog, very bad dog!" He said berating himself as he left for the cove. He was just about to pull back the curtains when he saw a figure heading for the security room. "What the hell?" He said walking a few steps closer to the figure. Then he realized that the figure was one of the suits, Bonnie's suit. "Fuck... HEY! HEY BONS OVER HERE! LOOK I'M OUT OF MY SUIT! LOOK AT ME!" He yelled at the suit. Foxy looked around for a camera and ran towards it, the Bonnie suit following him. "Mari, Mike, one of you check the cameras."
*Security Room*
"So you and Foxy huh? Honestly before today, I thought you'd be with Bonnie. You two are so alike and he has such a thing for you," Mike said to Mari not looking at the cameras.
"Look Mike, you're a cool dude but if you continue that thought, I'll become the scariest thing you know. Now pay attention to your cameras. Anything weird?" Mari said looking through her share. They really needed to get the kitchen camera fixed. She swore she heard something coming from there.
"Nope, Chica isn't in her room so she's probably getting something to eat. What about your end?"
"So far nothing, but the night- WOAH WHAT THE FUCK?! Mike, get over here," Mari said, waving her co-worker over. "Do you see that?"
"Yeah why is Foxy dancing in front of the camera? He should be sleeping. You guys got school tomorrow and he doesn't drink coffee. Wait look there, someone is in the corner. Who is that?"
"I don't know, check everyone's room."
Mike went to his monitor and checked the cameras. Everybody was fast asleep except Chica who was eating a pizza in her room. "Everybody is in their rooms."
"Fuck. Please let me be wrong!" Mari begged as she switched the camera to the back room. "Damn it!" she said as she saw that the Marionette costume was missing. "I'm going out there. You watch the cameras and keep track of that suit. It might disappear as soon as I get to Foxy. Use the radio to let me know where it is," she ordered as she grabbed a flashlight and left the room.
"What? But I- fine," Mike grumbled. 'I just got ordered around by a noob. Great.. There she is, just around the corner and she'll be there.' "Hey Mari, take that right, they'll be straight ahead," he said into the radio.
"Thanks Mike, I see them," came her voice moments later.
*Back with Foxy*
'Mari, Mike, someone turn on the lights. Something!' Foxy thought as the suit moved closer to him.
"Hey! Look, whoever you are you need to get out of that suit. Don't make me call the cops," he heard a stern voice say. The command was so strong he almost felt compelled to take off his clothes before he realized the voice was talking to the suit. "I said take off the suit!" Mari said, making the suit turn to her.
"Mari! Look at it, look at the suit," Foxy said cautiously. "Take a good look at it."
Mari stared at the suit and fear filled her eyes. She saw empty eyes and a toothless smile. It cocked its head as she stared, as if studying her. She took a few steps back but it simply followed her, seeming like it was floating a few inches above the ground. She reached for her radio and was about to call Mike when she heard a disturbing laugh come from the suit. Mari's eyes grew even wider as it moved closer until it was right in front of her. She was frozen in fear, the adrenaline in her veins doing nothing to help her. She was about to scream but was stopped as the smiling suit's mouth moved. It was saying something but she couldn't hear over the pounding of her heart.
"Get away from her Marionette!" Foxy yelled, bringing the suits attention back on him. The suit walked until it was halfway between Mari and Foxy. "You don't want her and you know it!"
"She wears me, does she not? She willingly put on the suit and mask, did she not? She played the part perfectly to the point you thought I woke up on my own," said a dark yet playful voice. Mari recognized it as the voice she used when playing with the children.
"That does not make her yours Marionette," Foxy growled.
"Oh yes, I almost forgot. You have already claimed her. Tell me Pirate, if she is yours, why does she throw herself at others. Why I'm sure if I had a normal body of my own, I would become one of her toys. What do humans call people like me again? Dark and mysterious, very desired amongst her people correct. That was the image Bonnie was going for right? Too bad he was too much of a coward to pull it off," said the suit.
"I said back off!"
"Or what? You have a human form, I do not. What can you do to me? Nothing! I, on the other hand, can do many things to you. Or maybe to her," Marionette said calmly, turning back to Mari. "Tell me my sweet, if I didn't come off as bad as I do, would you find my voice attractive? Or maybe you should feel my touch before you judge."
Mari gathered up as much courage as she could muster and spoke evenly. "Sorry creep, I go for a guy's personality and your's kinda sucks."
"I'm sorry you feel that way love," commented the Marionette right before he got close to her again. "Maybe I should try to change your mind. I'm sure if I try enough, you will want me," he said with a smirk and before Mari could move, Marionette grabbed her chin and pressed his lips against hers.
Mari was disgusted and shocked. This thing was kissing her! But it was kissing her.. How could it kiss her when it was just a mask? From what was pressed against her face, she felt skin. How could she feel skin. This thing was a suit and mask. The hand holding her chin felt solid. 'What the hell was this thing?!' she thought. Soon the Marionette pulled away, smiling.
"Surprised my dear? It's okay, I will give you a few moments to recover. But trust me, you will be mine. And you will come to me on your own," he said letting go of her. She could only stare ahead as her mind tried to understand what just happened. "Now Pirate, look at her. Has she ever looked like that when you have kissed her. Or have you never kissed her like that? Judging from the glare you are giving me I would have to say not. Tsk, tsk my boy. Maybe I can give you a few lessons, if you are willing to watch," Marionette toyed. He was soon greeted with a firm right hook, literally.
"I will shred that suit faster than you can move if you touch her again! You need an empty suit to occupy. You will be gone soon," Foxy threatened.
"My friend, this will forever be my suit. Yes she may wear it during the day but she only sees it as a suit, not a life. Besides, the moment she does see it as a life a suit will be created for her. Until then, she is technically mine," Marionette countered before returning to the still confused Mari. "Are you ready this time my dear?" he asked. Mari cocked her head, not yet understanding his words as her mind was still clouded. But Marionette took it as an opening and quickly pressed his lips against hers. He was rewarded with a surprised 'MM!' which soon turned into a soft moan.
"Mari no! Don't give in! Mari, please listen.." Foxy begged but he knew she couldn't hear him. She was lost in Marionette's kiss, she was lost to him. He knew in the morning, she would think it all a dream.
Okay guys, sorry it took a while to post this one. My ipad died and the charger was being stupid. Hope you liked it. I sort of strayed from the original idea for this chapter but I thought instead of having Marionette try to kill someone, I'd have him seduce Mari. If anbody has any ideas on a new name for Mari for the next chapter I'd love to hear them. If I choose a name, the creator will be given credit. Anyway this is DramioneLover21 signing off.
