Run, Run

Cordelia darted as fast as she could to the office. The first thing she did was look at the camera and put it on the camera for the party room where the animatronics were located. She was surprised to see them all still there and in humanoid form. It took her a few seconds to see the condition they were in.

Toy Bonnie looked the same as she remembered, but currently he had his head down on the table and his knuckles were white from how hard he was clutching it. He was struggling worse than anyone else in the room.

Bonnie was glaring at the floor with his red eyes. Cordelia noticed that his right arm was also missing in this form, and it looked like blood was seeping from it and on his purple vest; it just blended in with his black button up shirt. His hair was the same purple color of his fur; it was a longer than his counterpart's but straighter. He, too, seemed to be struggling to contain himself.

Balloon Boy seemed exactly like himself but less round and was human shaped. Brown hair also poked out from under his hat. All of his clothes were exactly the same. He still had his balloon and sign. He looked bored and was showing no real signs of struggling with his programming.

Toy Chica just sat with a dazed look. Her eyes flickered from bright blue to black with only white pupils. Her orange lipstick was also disappearing.

Chica was taller than her counterpart, but dressed more simply. She had on a yellow sundress with a white cover up that said 'Let's Eat." Her shoes were simple orange flip flops. Her hair was in a pixie cut that flipped up a little more on top. She looked worried.

Toy Freddy was now running his hand over his human face. It, like the other toys, still had the red blush circles. His short, caramel brown sat perfectly under his hat. He had on a dark brown vest over a light brown button up shirt. His pants, like most of the boys', were black. He was looking to his counterpart with black eyes.

Freddy looked much like Toy Freddy. They shared a hairstyle but the older bear's was more chocolate brown. They both had bright blue eyes if the younger bear's had not shifted. His clothes were the same but the colors were switched so his vest was lighter than the undershirt. He was a bit taller though like the other older mascots.

He was very different in the fact that he looked like he had been in a brutal fight. His clothes had rips and tears. His face had small scratches covering it. He looked troubled and sat perfectly still.

Foxy was pacing. He had longish russet hair that flipped out and in wildly. He had on a long black pirate coat, but it was open and he wore nothing underneath since his skin had a long gash there across his chest; it looked to be bleeding like Bonnie's and Freddy's wounds. His hook swung heavily as he stopped pacing to look at the hall angrily.

Mangle stood on mainly mechanical legs. She had wild white hair that looked windblown. Her eyes were closed, but the head that was attached to her was snapping his gaze in different directions. She had on a white dress with a pink laced corset. She had a big pink bow around her neck and white boots with pink crossbones as design that reached up her endoskeletal knee.

She had metal showing unlike the older animatronics. Cordelia wondered why they were bleeding in a more human way and she did not. She ended up just deciding it was because she was toy model.

Marionnette was standing close to the exit with no expression.

After the night guard took in their appearances, Toy Bonnie pushed from the table and exited the party room. Marionette followed close behind. Cordelia looked up from the camera to find her mask only to find it gone. She glanced back at the camera to see them all staring at the camera creepily. Bonnie also looked like he was ready to bolt out of the room.

Cordelia glared at it before running down the hall past all the party rooms as fast as she could. She could hear many feet start moving. Her own feet were moving in a random direction. She really had no clue where she was going.

She wound up in the stage room. Something pulled her to not stop running despite seeing Toy Bonnie and Marionette, who might have tried to help her. Her feet didn't stop until she was in the manager's office and had the door closed and locked.

Her ears didn't register the sound of knocking on the door while she stared around the room. It was small. It had a desk like hers, but was a little messier. Promotional posters were hung along the wall. Leaning against the back wall was a tall wooden bookshelf. She, as if in a trance, started moving the bookshelf over.

In front of her was a door. Still ignoring the beating that had gotten much more aggressive and loud, she opened the door and walked in. Her body shivered at the cool air that circulated the unknow basement of the pizzeria as she walked down the stairs. She heard the dripping of water coming from a far off corner of the large room.

Finally waking from the trance she had fallen into, she remembered her flashlight that was in her hand and shined it into the darkness in front of her. Her hand ran through her red bangs as she tried to comprehend what was happening.

Leaning against the wall was a golden bunny. His silvery eyes were on her but not yet awake. Some of the fabric around his mouth was gone and showed its teeth. Other than that and a few tears, he looked fine.

She inched closer to the unactivated creature. This situation was too similar to the dream she had had only hours before. It was unnerving, but she guessed she could keep her dream promise before she died.

The beating on the door upstairs was loud now that she noticed it; there was no way the old door would hold up to it. They would come in and rush her. Sure they might eventually register her as one of them, but she knew it would be either too late or they would just do it anyway. There were only two she thought wouldn't kill her and they were probably trying to find Liam.

Thunder clattered over the pizzeria as she turned him own. She heard soft clicking and humming as everything inside him came on. Its body convulsed for a second and made a loud robotic noise. His eyes lit and shot straight to her.

Despite the beating getting louder upstairs, she decided to try and be cordial to him. She wanted to replay what he said to her so she said, "It's me."

He got up slowly and his joints squeaked ever so slightly when he did. It had been years since he was activated. His smooth voice crawled out of his mouth at a slow pace since he was not used to talking anymore, "I'm not supposed to talk to strangers, right?"

She weakly smiled at the bunny and copied his line in her own way, "You played at my birthday. Do you remember me?"

"Little one," he said with soft smile as he came closer to her.

"I found you," she stated as she glance over her shoulder at the stairs. The sound of cracking was filling her ears.

He tousled her hair to get her green eyes back on him. "Just like you promised. What is all the noise about up there?"

She hesitated. She didn't want to tell him about the currently rabid animatronic, but seeing as they would soon be upon them, she did. "The animatronics are trying to stuff me in a suit. Its against policy for an endoskeleton not to be and at night that's what I am read as."

He cocked his head to the side while looking at her and smiled. He stepped back and opened himself up. She just looked at him with a confused and scared look. "Hop in and don't worry. I'm a spring loaded suit. I will be extra careful not to harm you, little one. You are small enough to fit in with my own skeleton."

"I dunno," she mumbled hesitantly. Her mind screamed about how dangerous it was, but she was also in an equally dangerous situation. She could say no and get attacked by the animatronics behind the cracking door. She could say no and risk making Spring Bonnie mad so he'll help them. Or, she could say yes and hope she doesn't die inside him.

The door upstairs crashed down to the floor, and she made an abrupt decision. "Alright," she said swiftly as she got into the suit.

It actually wasn't very complicated like she assumed it would be. He more or less just closed around her then pulled the head piece down to cover the her face. She could fill the metal spin of his endoskeleton against her back. Her arms and legs were also pressed against the metal of his arm and legs. She was so short compared to the suit that she could barely see through his teeth and out.

"Not so bad, little one?" he asked. The sound of his voice echoed in the suit. The golden bunny had left out telling her that her the only reason his suit wasn't crushing her was because her body was what he was currently using to keep his endoskeleton in place. If she had been any bigger, his suit would have let the rods and beams lose which would have caused her impalement and his endoskeleton to be shoved where her body was. It could have still done that anyway, but he was making an effort to not allow it.

"Sure," she said meekly. She peered out through his teeth to see Bonnie, Foxy, and Toy Chica. She was surprised to see they hadn't reverted to their animatronic forms.

"Where is she?" Bonnie asked before he caught sight of his own golden counterpart. "Who are you?"

"I am Spring Bonnie," he answered smoothly. What he added made Coredelia stiffen a little. "Though I have been called Springtrap once or twice. You may address me as Spring if you like."

Bonnie looked dismayed at seeing another version of himself. He didn't know there was an older version of him. He and the others only vaguely knew about the existence of an older Freddy. He noticed that his golden version looked degraded and wonder why he was put down in the basement/safe room.

"I see you are not in your natural forms," Springtrap stated as he felt Cordelia try to tilt her head farther up to see more of what the other animatronics were doing. "Currently I don't think that would be the best idea to pursue."

"Why?" Toy Chica asked with sass as she looked at him pointedly.

Foxy quickly added in a follow up question. "And where be the lass?"

"Here." Springtrap's laugh sounded like soothing bells as he opened his mouth wide to show Cordelia's redhaired head poking up right under his endoskeletal jaw. All the other stared at the girl and gold bunny with astonishment. They didn't understand how she was in him and alive, but she was now in a suit so they couldn't do anything at all. At least with the empty Freddy head, they could rip it off to get her.

Bonnie didn't really have to kill her; he just wanted her keys. Foxy, however, was still pissed about getting punched and would love to get just a little revenge. Toy Chica was only there because of her programming; she was actually walking up the stairs and leaving.

"What are you?" Bonnie questioned as his red eyes examined the night guard that was ducking as far down as she could without hitting any of the spring locks.

The silvery clear eyes stared at purple bunny. "I'm a hybrid suit. She can surprisingly fit in the suit with my skeleton." He paused then continued. "Its interesting to see I have a counterpart."

"You have two," Cordelia mumbled from her position in his chest.

Before the golden bunny could reply Bonnie cut him off. "All I want are the keys to the storage room."

Cordelia gave a muffled reply that Spring relayed. "She lost them on her run. She said to check with someone called Balloon Boy."

Bonnie decided to leave after getting this information. He knew he shouldn't but every portion of his programming was telling him to try and get to Liam so he simply turned and left with a grumpy and grumbling Foxy following.

Cordelia felt the front of the suit open and suddenly she stumbled out. She gave Springtrap a grateful look and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, little one," he hummed. "Why don't you catch me up on the years? We should still have time before 6AM."
