Heavy Metal

The red headed nightguard rocked back and forth on her feet as she thought. Her legs seemed to click more, but she wasn't annoyed by it necessarily. What worried her was that she felt oddly good. Energy was pulsing through her; she was in no way tired despite how long the week had been for her and how bad it seemed to be for the animatronics. Normally that would just drain her. Her eyes were no longer slightly far sighted as they had been all her life, and her attached limbs just felt like extensions. There was no pain. Her whole body just felt weird. The doctors wouldn't tell her what they did, but it felt all wrong.

A long sigh left her lips. "I guess I should be happy, but I don't feel like me." She clutched her hand in front of her and clinched it harshly.

"You don't have to be you anymore," a voice cooed softly into her ear.

Quickly her foot spun her around to find the source of the sound but to no avail. Her light green eyes cautiously scanned over the room searching. Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion since she found nothing.

"Not gonna find me that way, girlie," the voice chimed happily with a creepy childlike giggle also filling the room.

"Where the hell are you?" she asked rather angrily and loudly. All that answered her was giggling and laughter.

Another voice announced itself in the room, "Are you okay, Ms. Cordelia?" Toy Freddy's bright blue eyes were staring at her frazzled panic rather oddly.

She looked at him dumbstruck. "Did you not hear that just a second ago?" she asked with surprise.

His eyebrows quirked a little but he kept his composer. "No. Sorry, I did not. I feel I walked into a situation like this not long ago."

"Really?" she questioned. "What happened then? Is there another animatronic here? If so I really should know."

The rosy cheeked bear seemed to think for a moment before replying. "I am probably recalling something from one of my books I have been reading."

He smiled eternally as it did remind him of some of his mystery books. He did, however, actually recall walking in on Bon talking to himself in a similar fashion. The bear thought nothing of it then, but now he was beginning to think there was more to it. He'd tell Freddy about it and see what his thoughts might be.

The nightguard hummed uncomfortably and began shifting her weight back and forth between her feet. The odd voice took her out of her little world of strange feeling and put her in a place of nervousness. Her eyes continued to shift around the room rapidly like the scrambler ride from the fair.

Toy Freddy cleared his throat to get her attention back on him. It was successful, and her pale eyes were now glued to the toy bear in front of her. "I came to invite you to eat with the rest of us. Chik and Chica are trying to make some different things now. Bon should be awake soon, too."

She looked over her shoulder to check the room one more time before sighing and nodding. "Sounds good."

The nightguard's sneakers dragged the ground loudly as she followed Toy Freddy to a party room. She was so into her own thoughts she didn't even realize when they had arrived. She just stopped when the bear stopped. The animatronics, which arrived earlier, noticed this.

Foxy spoke up snarkily, "Don't tell me the lass has gone overboard like the blue git." This gained him a green glare from the now attentive girl. Foxy didn't back down but was mildly put off by how her glare was similar to the bunny whose attention she had grabbed. If her eyes were darker maybe they would be the same. "I see ye been takin sneerin' lesson from the git, too"

"Stop teasing her, Foxy. I'm sure she is so happy to be back that she is in a daze. Plus that glare is cute," Chica said as she pulled at the red head's cheek and patted her head. Cordelia wasn't too pleased with this, but didn't want to start anything so she stood there as her pale face got redder and redder from a mixture of frustration and embarrassment.

"Ye be treatin the lass like a baby," Foxy fussed. "She be old enough to be off the bosom."

"Ew," Chik said as she entered the room in her human form. Her orange lips were drawn out in disgust. "Can we not. I know I must have missed something but, can we not?"

Foxy huffed, and Chica just laughed a little. Cordelia had also cooled down some. The toy had diffused the slight uncomfortableness of the situation.

"So?" Bonnie asked getting everyone's attention while only really aiming to get Toy Chica's, "I thought you were going to get Toy Bonnie."

The toy chicken sighed heavily, "Well I was. He just sat there and told me he felt strange and would be here when he felt better. I don't know what his problem is. You'd think he would be fighting to be in here."

"Ye bet, the lad should be after this week," Foxy said then looked toward the nightguard. "He be putting us in hellish waters girly."

The redhead just stared for a few moments before she asked, "Do you want me to try and get him?" She really would like to see him. It had been a while since they had talked, and she was still worried about him.

Bonnie gave a reply first, "I think you should just let him figure out what he wants to do first. Liam said he might still have a few glitches that he can't tell are there until Toy Bonnie is running so he might still try to hug you to death."

"Best you be keepin space between ya or have one of us come with ye," Foxy stated. Cordelia understood that. She really didn't want to die by a hug. It wouldn't be the worst way to die, but not exactly how she would want to.

"I see your point," she said as she walked to take a seat beside Marionette.

Bonnie did look at her for one more moment to ask, "Could you ask Liam some stuff for us tomorrow before he gets here. He said something about class at 11 so he'll be late."

She nodded but had no time to give a spoken reply.

"Well we are going to get food!" Both Chica's announced as they marched off.

The blue bunny was still sitting against the wall in the parts and service room. His forest green eyes searched the room. There was something he was searching for but just could not find it. He sneered and glared at the walls.

"What do you want? I know you are here," he tried to taunt. "You might as well come out or at least talk."

"Maybe I don't want anything," the voice mocked as it filled the room. "What if I am just here watching all of this play out? Is there any harm in that?"

Toy Bonnie would normally already be frustrated, but since his AI was lowered, he was keeping his cool much better than normal. "Why are you even talking to me if you don't want something?"

The voice laughed with the unsettling background noise of a giggling child. "That a good point. I just thought I would give you some suggestions concerning that girl and her future."

The bunny perked his ears and cast a green glare toward no specific direction. "That's none of your business."

The bunny jumped up and made a loud metallic thud with his feet as he prepared to march out, but the voice again caught his attention. "She has left before you know. She left good ole Springs, too. Just up and left and never came back until now, but she didn't exactly remember him well then. You are no different than he."

The bunny felt his circuits surge with anger. "I am not the same as him. I will not lose her."

"Oh?" the voice laughed smoothly. "Are you sure? Why would anyone that isn't an animatronic work here forever. I bet she has so much opportunity outside of this old place." He paused to cause some dramatic effect. "Or maybe she won't make it out of here. Most don't especially in her position."

"I'm not going to kill her!" he shouted.

The voiced snickered and again spoke, "Not ready to yet anyway. Hate to tell you, though, but I wasn't talking about you killing her."

The bunny's blue fists clenched and he snarled out a response, "Don't. You. Dare. Hurt. Her."

The light in the room suddenly flickered off and the voice was now right in his ears. "Such big words for someone with such little power. I'll warn you now. If you don't get her or she doesn't leave, she will die. It might be me or might not, but you have been warned."

The bunny was effectively shut up as his whole core felt cold. His motors and servos felt as if they had been incrusted in ice. The feeling went away quickly as the lights flickered back on, but it was a feeling he would not soon forget.

He didn't know what to do. A sigh left his lips. "This is so stupid." His feet pulled him out of the room and toward the party room where he knew his friends and food to be. He decided to let the thoughts rest for the rest of the night and talk to someone about it later. For now, he would enjoy his time.

He snuck into the party room quietly in his humanoid form to see everyone chatting while eating something slightly new, pizza pasta. Cordelia was absorbed in a conversation with Marionette and didn't notice the blue eared boy behind her until she was wrapped in his arms.

"Hey there, sweetheart," he said with his staple grin on his face as he took the seat beside her. "Hope you haven't missed me too much."

Her pale lips pulled into a small smile. "Not too much, but I am definitely glad to see you here and well."

He just laughed and decided to try the food which unsurprisingly tasted like pizza.

"Everything is in order Springs," the voice cheered.

Springtrap just listened to his friend as he made plot after plot. He wasn't sure if he wanted to object or go along with it. Part of it seemed wrong since Cordelia and Liam had helped him so much, but it technically did not hurt them directly.

"Sound perfect. When are you going to officially let it all play out?" the golden bunny asked curiously.

"Ummm," it contemplated, "a week tops. If something goes wrong sooner or later. You know l like to stay on schedule though sooooo I'll say five days.

Well finally got another chapter. Should have another next week hopefully.
