-You Can't-

Chapter 5: The Hunt

While Vincent was making his way to the nearest window of the restaurant, he heard an animatronic shout inside the pizzeria. They were aware that he was there. But that was not important. They were only six from now. The plushies didn't count, even if two of them were gone too. Let me tell you how it happened.

Some hours ago:

Spring Bonnie was broken. His heart was just broken, he had imploded when Mario rejected him. Technically, she didn't say anything so she didn't reject him but it clearly felt like that. He was so sad. Alone in a corner of the Safe room, he was whiping without caring about anything else.

But then, an idea came to him. More like a decision.

He needed to go. Anywhere, but he just couldn't remain there. Determined, he wiped his tears and stood up, leaving the pizzeria without noticing the two little plushies that were following him.

That's what happened only a few hours before Vincent's arrival. He wasn't scared by the animatronics. They were just too many for one man. But he had the perfect plan now. He entered the restaurant and went as quick as he could to the Music Box. Marionette was the most powerful of those things, right ? Then, he'll bring it down right now.

He called the animatronic and this one, recognizing his voice, came out of the box. Then, he catched it by the throat and pulled it in a bag, quickly leaving the pizzeria. The thing was trying to get out but couldn't so it let go. Vincent dragged it in his car and drove to an abandoned building, where he pulled down the thing and attached it with chains.

When it regained consciousness, the puppet managed to escape its chains but couldn't. Vincent couldn't stop smiling while approaching the animatronic without fearing anything.

"Hello, Marionette."

"At least, you know my full name." The thing answered, probably echoing to the fact that her friends always called her 'Mario' and that it was annoying her. "Why am I here ?"

Vincent sat in front of her before answering: "I heard that you were the most powerful animatronic so I kidnapped you and now you're in there with me."

"Do you still intend to kill us ?" Vincent nodded and Marionette sighed angrily. "But why ? You've already killed us !"

The Purple Guy smiled meanly. "Not enough, over that I see."

"Listen, you don't need to do that !" Marionette cried out, trying to stand up but she just couldn't.

Vincent laughed suddenly after that line. "What makes you think that way ?"

Marionette frowned while looking at the Purple Guy in the eyes. She felt that something was wrong. She started to think about what could possibly go wrong when she realized. "Where is Spring Bonnie ?" She asked in a low voice, thinking.

"That golden bunny animatronic ?" Vincent asked before laughing meanly. "Why would you care about him ?"

"... Did you hurt him ?"

Vincent's smile grew all of a sudden. "Maybe. Anyway, good night..." He said, starting to go away and Marionette raising her head and looking at him furiously. He turned to her and added before leaving: "... Mario."

Spring Bonnie was walking in the street while wondering without noticing the two plushies behind him. Why did he leave the pizzeria ? Oh yes, he remembered. Marionette broke his heart and he simply left the place to avoid her. What a stupid idea. Where could he go ? He hadn't any home or a place to live for a while. He was just... there.

In the street, walking.

He didn't notice the humans' glances. He didn't heard the whispers. He was lost in his mind. That's when he felt that something was looking at him. He stopped walking and turned around, only to see Plush Mario and Plushtrap following him and arguing with each other. Plush Mario wanted to tell him that they were following him while Plushtrap wanted to let him noticing them by himself.

Spring Bonnie smiled softly and cleared his throat, the two plushies jumping with surprise. "Well, what are you doing here, you two ?"

"We were worried about you... Why did you left the pizzeria ?" Plush Mario asked, approaching him slowly and putting a hand on his leg, too small to reach his shoulders.

Plushtrap went closer to them and jumped at Spring Bonnie, climbing his legs and sitting on his shoulder. Spring Bonnie looked at him without emotion before turning to Plush Mario. "Marionette rejected me..."

"I'm going to kill her." Plushtrap promised, angry.

"No, no need to do that because I will never go there again." The golden bunny animatronic said, his eyes wet with tears.

Plush Mario lowered its head before freezing. "And where will you go ?"

Spring Bonnie's heart missed a beat while he was wondering. He didn't know. He hadn't think about it when he'd left. That was the problem. Where was he going to sleep this night ?

He took a while before answering, his ears lowering a bit: "I don't know..."

Plushtrap and Plush Mario stared at each other for a while, surprised. In fact, they were not really surprised, they kind of knew it since the beginning, but they just hoped that was not true.

They hesitated before saying something, thinking about what they could do to help their friend. What were they able to do ?

Plush Mario thought about that before telling Spring Bonnie to find, just for this night, an abandoned place where sleeping as it was very late. He nodded and began to search, finding one not so far from the pizzeria and hiding in the darkness, in a corner of a gigantic room.

The two plushies came towards him, looking at him as he was starting to cry. Plush Mario lowered its head before coming closer, putting a hand on his cheek. He brought his legs closer to his torso and put his head between his hands, whiping sadly. "What did I do ?"

Plushtrap lowered his ears and approached Plush Mario. "You genius, have you got another brilliant idea ?"

"Stop being such comtempteous towards me." The other plushie replied dryly, turning around to face its friend. "You'd better have listen to me, anyway."

"My idea was good too, Mastermind !"

"No, hiding was a stupid idea." Plush Mario said angrily. "And stop calling me like that."

Plushtrap sighed, annoyed by the discussion. "You know what ? Good night."

"Plush-" The other plushie started but the other one wasn't listening anymore. "Well, fuck off ! See you tomorrow !" It shouted angrily at the other plushie.

Spring Bonnie stared at Plush Mario, eyes filled with tears, before closing his eyes, shooting in sleep-mode. A single tear ran down his cheek. Plush Mario felt so bad for him. He was... destroyed from the inside. Nothing of the Spring Bonnie they all knew remained. He was... nobody. Just a corpse with a broken soul inside. A broken soul stuck inside his own madness and fear.

Plush Mario sat next to him and fell asleep against his arm, giving him all its support. He needed it. He needed it so badly.

But, even if he seemed quite calm from outside, he was having horrible nightmares.

The other animatronics were haunting him. They were not really themself anymore. They were... monsters. Monsters hunting him while he was in a child's bedroom. How did he get there ? What a good question !

And then, he remembered. The children. The souls that were haunting the others were children. That was certainly why he was in a child's bedroom and also why he was so... small. He was like a kid version of himself.

He heard some noise coming from the bed, just behind him. He quickly turned around, only to see some... Freddy plushies. They were two. They quickly hid when he lighted up the bed with his flashlight.

As fast as possible, trying to surpass the power of his emotions, he turned around and ran to the left door. There was nothing but silence. When he lighted up the hall, he saw the nightmarish figure of Bonnie going away. His hands started to shake and soon, he dropped the flashlight. The object fell to the floor and Spring Bonnie's heavy and shaking breathing could be heard in the whole room.

An evil laugh came from the closer, but Spring Bonnie just stared at its doors. He was too scared to approach whatever monster was inside of it. He closed his eyes, inhaling and exhaling regularly to soothe himself. He took a step towards the closet but he heard its doors creaking and some footsteps approaching him.

It was too late.

Way too late.

When he opened an eye, there was nothing but blood. Blood on the closet doors, asking "Was it me ?" before vanishing. Blood on the hall doors asking the same question. And finally, his own blood running down his cheeks as he looked at the monster in front of him. Fredbear. What did you become ?

The golden bear came towards him, smiling hugely while the other animatronics were whispering: "We remember everything. We won't forget." repetively.

Spring Bonnie stepped back but Goldie grabbed him by the arm and pulled him violently against him, bitting his head and crushing his whole endoskeleton's head between his gigantic teeth.

The golden animatronic woke up suddenly, sweating stream and crying in his sleep. He silently stood up and went to a window, looking at the outside world. Was Marionette alright ? He wanted to know if someone missed him or not. He was sure that it was the case but... He just couldn't go there again. Not after all that happened. He felt really sad.

"Is everything okay ?" Plushtrap asked, sitting on a broken chair next to him.

Spring Bonnie smiled friendly when he noticed the chair. "Why do you like chairs so much ?"

"They are cool." The plushie replied, raising his shoulders. "But you didn't answer my question."

"True."

"What are you waiting for ?"

The golden bunny animatronic sighed sadly and looked down. "I'm okay... I was thinking about the... you know..."

"O-Oh, don't tell, let me guess. The nightmares ?" Plushtrap cut Spring Bonnie's sentence.

Spring Bonnie nodded and took a look at the window again. "I had one again."

The plushie animatronic didn't say anything, waiting for his best friend to go on. "Fredbear was attacking me this time. What could this mean ?"

"What did he do this time ?" The golden plushie asked to his counterpart, worried.

"He bit me. Just like he did with the kid." Spring Bonnie answered coldly. "You remember... This nightmare, when I was at Fredbear's..."

Plushtrap thought about it for a while before nodding. "You told me that you heard an ambulance's siren there, right ?"

"Indeed."

"What are you wondering about ?" The plushie asked curiously.

Spring Bonnie looked at the Marionette plushie, seeing that it was sleeping, and smiled. "The child tries to deliver me a message."

"And what could it be ?"

"We'll know soon enough, Plushtrap." Spring Bonnie replied, still thinking about what could be the message of these nightmares.

"You know, I just think that they want revenge. You know... the kids." Plushtrap told his counterpart without looking at him. "Purple Guy killed them while wearing you as a suit."

Spring Bonnie winced when he remembered about that. "Indeed..."

"If that goes on, they'll kill you in your sleep." Plushtrap warned, worried about Spring Bonnie.

"I know."

"Then do something ! That needs to stop, you know it !"

"But how, Plushtrap !?" The golden animatronic shouted in return, waking up Plush Mario. "There is nothing that I can do ! Except kill myself."

Plushtrap sighed angrily. "Stop saying things like these !"

"That's the reality."

Plush Mario came closer to them and said, worried: "Spring Bonnie, we'll find an issue. But you need to trust us. Plush and I will find an issue."

"Who told you that I wanted to team up with you, Mastermind ?"

Spring Bonnie was shaking and breathing heavily, all of the pictures from his nightmares coming back to his mind and scaring him as hell. He felt like he was going to lose consciousness, his head killing him and his eyes closing slowly.

"Springy, are you alright ?" Plush Mario asked when she noticed his discomfort.

He suddenly fainted, falling on the ground in front of two worried plushies.
