-You Can't-
Chapter 14: Confession
Just a friendly reminder :)
"That's when Spring Bonnie decided to tell Mario about his feels. That didn't go the way he wanted it to go. Indeed, Marionette remained silent, and Spring thought that she was rejecting him. That day, he heard about the fact that he and I were going to be scrapped, and he ran away from the pizzeria."
Here goes the chapter
Toy Bonnie tilted his head to the right and glanced at Springtrap. This one was very sad, lowering his head and his single ear. "So that's it ?"
Fredbear nodded, smiling friendly to him before continuing the story. "I was even more jealous when I saw his house. He had a huge apartment while I had nothing more than an empty room. What really made me mad was that I've been trying to escape from the pizzeria many times, but I just... couldn't. I wasn't brave enough to live a life on my own. And he did. He succeeded, above all. He succeeded forgetting about his whole life, he succeeded buying a house... He was really wise and made his way to live on his own in only one day."
Springtrap raised his head and looked at Goldie, gulping. "I didn't forget about my life... That's not the secret."
Everyone looked at him, wondering about what was the secret, especially Mangle who had a conversation about that with him a month ago, and Marionette smiled to him. She knew what he wanted to say. "You're not obliged to tell that, love."
"I know, Mario, but I need to... And Mangle already knows what I'm going to say." Springtrap replied, smiling back. "You'll never forget what happened to you. You'll never forget your friends. You'll never forget the voices of the past. You'll never forget the pain. What you need to focus on is what you want for your life. What you need to be happy. What you need to make the others happy. And you must try absolutely everything to do those things that are required." The golden rabbit explained, his arms crossed against his chest.
The toy animatronics were fascinated by his explanation. That was fantastic for them to hear an old animatronic sharing his secrets to success in Life. Mangle, who had always been fascinated by the golden animatronic, smiled hugely to him. The rabbit just smiled back, Marionette staring at Mangle furiously, jealous.
Goldie continued. "He asked me to visit him... But I was so mad at him that I couldn't even think about trying to do that. I just wanted revenge. So I said that I would try, but never tried anything. I even forbid Marionette visiting him. I was so mean... Now I realize the errors of my way... I'm sorry, my friends..."
Springtrap walked towards him and put a hand on his shoulder friendly. "Don't worry. It's okay now. Mario and I forgive you... We're not totally innocent either."
The other animatronics smiled, Chica cuddling up Bonnie and Freddy grumbling furiously while looking at them. Foxy just laughed, happy to see the two animatronics happy together, even if Freddy was not happy about that. He just couldn't command everything.
Toy Chica came closer to Goldie, hugging him and kissing him lovingly. Springtrap looked at them, smiling like an idiot, and Marionette joined him, putting her hand on his shoulder and stroking it. "What a lovely family we are now, hm ?"
"Family ?" The bunny asked, wondering about that. That reminded him the picture. He'd lost the other part. The only part he had was the one where only the original animatronics were standing. He wasn't on there anymore.
Marionette nodded, smiling joyfully, and glanced at him. When she noticed his worry, she lowered her head and took the part of the picture he'd left behind when he ran away. She gave it to him, the bunny smiling when he saw the picture again. "You lost that when you fled, last time, after the incident with Bonnie."
"Thanks..." The golden animatronic said, taking the second part and reuniting them.
Marionette smiled and took the two parts of the picture. "I'll fix that, I promise."
Everyone was waiting for their gift, Marionette and Springtrap giving them to the animatronics. Toy Chica took her gift, thanking Springtrap before sitting on the floor some meters away and opening it. She gasped when she saw a new and shiny beak for her. Goldie was by her side, wearing his new purple bowtie and hat proudly.
Beside them, Mangle was wearing her new pink bowtie, and enjoying her new eye. She now had her two eyes. She was happier than ever. Toy Freddy smiled to her and showed her his new top hat. It was nearly the same as before, except that this one had inverted colors. Instead of black with a red line, it was red with a black line. He was so happy about his hat.
Not far from them, Toy Bonnie carried his new guitar, ready to play a Christmas song on the stage. Chica was next to him, carrying her new cupcake happily while Balloon Boy was playing with his new shiny blue balloon.
Freddy was talking with Marionette while she was giving him his gift and Bonnie hesitated before coming towards him. "Erm... Hey Springtrap, I wanted to ask you something..."
"O-Of course, what is it ?" The golden rabbit asked, taking Bonnie's gift in his hands and waiting to give it to him.
The purple animatronic seemed a bit nervous before asking him what he wanted to ask. "Wha-What did you want me to do last time ?"
Springtrap blinked in confusion at the question, Marionette walking towards them as Freddy was enjoying his new golden microphone. She smiled to Spring but noticed that something was disturbing him. "What is it, honey ?" She asked, putting her hand on his shoulder but he didn't even react.
He was lost in his mind. He remembered exactly what Vincent asked him to do to Bonnie. He wanted him to... scrap that. That was not important, was it ? No, that wasn't.
"Nothing, here's your gift. As for your question Bonnie... I-It's better if you don't know." Springtrap replied as fast as possible, going out of the room right after giving Bonnie his gift.
The purple rabbit raised an eyebrow and looked at Marionette, who shruggled before joining them.
Toy Bonnie went to the show stage, according his guitar, and Toy Freddy and Toy Chica joined him. They sang a Christmas song, the other animatronics singing along and dancing together.
After that, the party began, everybody dancing and enjoying the celebration.
Everybody except Mangle. Mangle was wondering why Springtrap left the room after giving the last gift... why he seemed so disturbed... why he seemed so sick... Maybe he was ill and nobody was aware of that ? No, Marionette would have notice... What was going on with him ?
"Just let him alone and dance !" Foxy said to her, grabbing her arm and pulling her with them.
She smiled and nodded, enjoying the party and dancing all night.
Until... Something happened that wasn't expected by anyone, except Freddy. He felt something bad. As Goldie and Marionette would say, he had a bad feeling. And he was afraid. Something was about to happen. Something really bad and, perhaps, murderous. He needed to know what it was.
Springtrap's absence seemed dubious to him. He disappeared right before the party. Weird...
Suddenly, they heard the entrance's door opening. Toy Freddy turned off the music, listening attentively to everything. The others weren't moving anymore. Soon, they heard a laugh coming from the doors. There stood Vincent, holding Springtrap against him and threatening to kill him with what seemed to be an axe. "Hello friends." He smiled, coming closer while Springtrap was obviously unable to move. "You didn't invite me to your little party ? Am I not your friend anymore ?"
"Release him, Vincent." Freddy said, looking dangerously at the human.
"Only if you give me Marionette or Fredbear." Purple Guy replied, his smile growing more and more each second.
Marionette stared at him without understanding. "Why ?"
"I have some-" He was interrupted because Springtrap moved, trying to escape his grip. Vincent hit him in the head, the bunny hissing in pain. "propositions for you."
The Puppet narrowed her eyes, cautious. "What kind of propositions ?"
"You'll see if you accept to come with me. One of you. Only one."
Bonnie wanted to say something but Goldie reduced him to silence by waving his hand. Bonnie just looked at him, alarmed, but Fredbear seemed quite confident. The bunny decided to trust him.
"Goldie and I won't come with you until we know exactly what you want." Marionette explained, staying at the same place without moving.
Vincent smiled evilly and showed Springtrap. "Shall I kill him ?"
"Do what you want, I know that you won't kill him."
"And why so ?"
Fredbear winked at Marionette and answered Purple Guy's question: "Just because you're too smart to do so."
The toy animatronics raised an eyebrow, wondering what he meant by that, but the golden bear quickly explained: "He's your puppet. You play with him as you wish. He's a toy for you. You won't destroy your toy if it can help you to do what you want."
Vincent smiled to him. "Good answer, good answer."
"But you are going to release him, trust me." Marionette threatened, walking slowly towards the guy.
Purple Guy wasn't scared but amused by the situation. Knowing that the Puppet wasn't going to accept if he didn't explain a bit what he wanted, he started to explain his plan. "I need you, Puppet, to destroy the toy animatronics and bring down Fazbear Entertainment. Is that what you wanted to hear ? And I need Fredbear to be my guinea pig. I have some experiments to do."
"And were you seriously thinking that we would accept ?" Marionette bursted in laugh, looking mockingly at him. "That's ridiculous."
"Indeed, friend." Fredbear added, laughing too.
"Well, it seems that you didn't listen. Okay then. You don't want to help me, so I will do that by myself and have a little reward." Vincent simply said, taking his axe and hitting Springtrap's neck with it.
Chica gasped and ran to him, trying to wake him up while Vincent was trying to destroy the toys. The others were fighting against him, what was more than enough. She knelt next to the golden animatronic, shaking him vigorously and tearing up when she saw that all her efforts were vain. She called Marionette, glancing at Springtrap's unliving body on the ground. "Mario ! Come, please !"
The Puppet managed to come to Chica, looking at Springtrap and kneeling beside them. She put her hand on his forehead. "He's still alive, just unconscious. Don't worry, he... he'll be fine..."
The chicken nodded, not noticing Mario's hesitation, and went to the others, fighting with them. Marionette remained by Spring's side, holding his hand lovingly. "Stay with me, love... Please."
Soon after, Purple Guy escaped the pizzeria, promising that he would be back soon. Fredbear was wounded, as Toy Bonnie and Foxy were, but the others were alright. Maybe a little scared, but physically alright. Toy Chica gave Fredbear all the support he needed and Freddy quickly came towards Marionette and Springtrap. "Is he alright ?"
"I think... but for the first time in my life..." Marionette glanced at Freddy, worry visible in her white eyes. "I don't... know..."
Freddy knelt next to her, looking at Springtrap without saying anything. All they needed to do was waiting. Waiting for his golden eyes to open. But still, it seemed really strange. Usually, if not always, Marionette was aware of everything and knew everything. But this time, she was doubtful.
That wasn't good at all.
