The Purple Mare.

Chapter Four.

The Shadows of Remorse.

The next morning, David and Starspring were at Arctic Crystal station, waiting for the CEE to depart for Canterlot. Thankfully, the train was barley full, giving the two a whole coach to them self.
''Are you sure you want me you join you to Ponyville?'' Starspring said, sitting a few seats away from David, keeping to herself, ''I don't want the town to think your condoning what i did.'' She said, David looked over at her.
''Its better for you to be with me while reformation. Don't want you to get into a fight with Rainbow and you two killing each other.'' He replied as the CEE started to roll out the station.

''Look David. I want to thank you for giving me a taste of my own medicine all those years ago.'' Starspring said, getting a funny look from David, ''Whats do funny?'' She added.
''It's only been 3 years.'' He said, Starspring's eye twitched. ''What!'' She screamed, David laughed.
''IT'S NOT FUNNY!'' She screeched, her masked opened fully as she continued to screech before David slammed her mask shut.
''No more screeching.'' He said, she mumbled through her shut jaw before nodding.

''Starspring, can i ask you something?'' He asked her, sitting in the seat in front of her.
''Please, call me Starlight.'' She said, not amused, ''And this question is about the blood on the floor and the sofa. I'm sorry, i'm still leaking.'' She added, banging her head on the table.
''No, its not about that Starlight.'' He said, placing his hand on her animatronic hoof, she made eye contact with him, ''I wanna know, why did you kill the children?'' He added, she sighed.
''It all started in early 1981, a few months before the Fredbear bite. I was working at the first Freddy Fazbear's in Ponyville.'' She started.

The winter sun was slowly rising on the first business day after the Hearths Warming holidays.
''Mom are you sure about this?'' A young unicorn colt said, nervously.
''Bryan, its going to be find.'' His mother said, stepping into the building, the early morning staff were trotting about, cleaning the building and getting it ready for opening.
''Morning Starlight.'' A orange and yellow earth pony mare said, ''Morning Byran.'' She added.
''Morning Silly Nilly.'' Starlight replied, ''Bryan, here are some bits, go and play on the arcades.'' She added, giving her son a small sack of bits.

Starlight walked to the maintenance room and looked at a large crate that was sitting on the floor, she levitated the paperwork pinned to it.
''Spring-Lock Suit (mare), Princess Crystal Sky.'' She read the paperwork, She placed the paperwork on the desk and picked up a crowbar and forced the crate open and found an Animatronic needing assembly. Starlight looked at the instructions, ''Ok? I guess i have to build you?'' She added, opening the instructions and grabbed the pieces needed for the first step.

It took awhile, but Starlight had finished building the animatronic, it was a butter yellow alicorn with turquoise eyes and a light blue mane and tail, Starlight grabbed a small torch.
''Once animatronic is complete, test optic sensors by shining a light at its eyes, preferably a torch.'' She read, turning the torch on and shining it in animatronic's eyes, making them snap shut, she turned the torch off.
''Ok, once optic sensors have been test, proceed to install memory drive into a computer and install the data from the data disk and onto the drive before installing in the animatronic." She read again.

Starlight pulled out a laptop and booted it up, she plugged in the memory drive and let the device be installed, once it was installed, she opened the disk trap and put the disk in and let it install onto the memory drive. She unplugged the drive once the data was installed and put it in the animatronic and rebooted it.
''Hello, i'm Princess Crystal Sky.'' It said, the eyes flicker to life, the wings moved up and down.
''I'm Starlight Glimmer, nice to meet you, Crystal.'' Starlight said, shaking the alicorn's hoof.

Bryan was playing on the arcade when he heard a ghostly voice behind him.
''Your mother will die for her crimes.'' The voice said, Bryan turned around and saw no one their, he turned back to the arcade machine, the screen went black and a marionette like figure appeared on the screen with distorted text 'She will Die' repeating over and over again, a music box began to play as the marionette got closer to the screen.
''Leave my mother alone!'' Bryan screamed at the screen, the marionette's eyes began to glow white, it jumped at the screen and screeched, making Bryan jump back.

Starlight lead Crystal Sky to the show stage, the place was to open in a few minutes and the animatronics needed to be ready.
''Morning Starlight.'' A golden bear said, tipping his purple hat. Starlight cringed slightly, the aging animatronic still creeped her out even after working at the place for nearly a year.
''Hello miss Starlight.'' A golden rabbit said, tuning his guitar, Starlight cringed again.
''H..Hey you two, i'd like you to meet the new animatronic, Princess Crystal Sky.'' Starlight said as she heard the doors unlock, ''Well, the show is about to begin.'' She added, stepping off the stage as children began to pour into the building.

''Hey kids, welcome back to Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria, i hope you enjoyed your Hearthwarming holiday'' Fredbear said into his mic as young fillies and colts cheered as they sat in front of the stage.
''Hey Fredbear have you seen my guitar? I can't find it anywhere'' Said Bonnie, looking sad.
''Have you tried your back?'' Fredbear said, turning Bonnie around to see his guitar on his back, making the children laugh.
Bonnie chuckled ''So that's where it was'' He added, Fredbear facepalmed make the children laugh even more.

''Anyway are you gonna introduce our new friend to our lovely guests, or am gonna do it?'' Bonnie said tapping his foot on the floor.
''Yes, fillies and colts please give a warm Fazbear's welcome to our new friend, Princess Crystal Sky!'' Fredbear said before him and Bonnie moved to the side as Crystal Sky stepped out into the stage lighting.
''Hi kids!'' She said, smiling from ear to ear, ''I hope your hungry!'' She added as the children cheered.
Bryan looked over from the arcade, his jaw dropped when he saw Crystal Sky, she was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen.

The CEE pulled into Manehatten as David looked at Starlight, slightly surprised by her story.
''You have a son?'' He said, looking at the table, he heard her sniffle, ''Whats wrong?'' He added.
''I HAD a son... He's gone now... He's been gone for along time...'' She said, looking at the table, ''He loved Crystal Sky, she never even got to say goodbye.'' She added.
''Wh.. What happened to him?'' David asked, Starlight trembled, her body clanked.
''...Fredbear...''
