Seeing Things Through Their Eyes
Chapter: Ten - Darren's Return Part 2!
...Last Time!...
(Day 3, 4pm. Outside the Pizzeria)
M.S: Hmmmm, it's kinda strange without people being here during the day. It's so quiet, so peaceful and so...
?: Weird?
M.S: Yeah! Weird, that's... Wait a second... *Looks around* Jeremy? Is that you?
?: [Stays in the shadows] Jeremy? Me? Heh... Hehehahahaha! Nah!
M.S: Then... Who are you?
{The mysterious figure comes into the light}
M.S: *Gasps* You!
...
M.S: It's you!
D.H: Yes, it's me. Oh but my dear, you sound surprised. Whys that?
M.S: From what I've heard, you ran off years ago only never to be heard from again. You could see why I'm more than surprised to see you here... Darren.
D.H: Oh, you've heard of me? Well isn't that sweet. But yes, I see where you're coming from.
M.S: What do you want Darren? Why are you here? And... Where's Jeremy?
D.H: Wow, so many questions! Well firstly, I wanted to come down and see my old friends. *Smirks* Secondly, I'm here because I have some "unattended" business here. And thirdly, Jeremy is fine... Just a little tied up at the moment! Hehehehahahaha!
M.S: *Frowns* You won't get away with this Darren!
D.H: [Smiles] I'm sure I already have.
/With Jeremy, on the Main Stage/
J.T: "Well isn't this great? Your tied up at the edge of the Main Stage and you can't even warn Maria that Darren's back!" [Muffled growl] "DAMMIT DARREN!"
Coco: [Activates] Uh oh, that's not good! Poor Jeremy! Ohhh Maria, where are you?
Tyrone: [Activates] Jeremy? What's going on here? This... Can't be good.
{Maria runs into the room}
M.S: Jeremy! There you are, oh thank goodness your safe! It's okay I'm here now!
J.T: [Muffled cries of happiness] "Oh, thank the Lord! I knew you'd find me!"
Tyrone: [Silently sighs] Good timing! Lets just hope that whoevers behind this isn't who I think it is. For if he's back... Then I can only fear the worst.
{With that Coco goes back into stand by while Tyrone stayed active, better safe than sorry. Maria knelt down and pried at the ropes binding the man beneath her, she kept it up until she realized it was too tight to loosen by sheer strength.}
M.S: Dammit, I think I'm going to need a knife for this.
{Tyrone was about to power down when he spotted Darren in the shadows and it seemed he was holding... A weapon! By this time Maria had returned with a small pocket knife and started to cut the ropes, she was unaware of the danger.
Tyrone became fully alert, so Darren was back and not only that but it seemed like he was planning to use that knife! Tyrone glanced between Maria and Darren, torn between warning her and breaking protocol. But as Darren slivered closer and closer to Maria, Tyrone knew he had to risk it!}
Tyrone: [Thinks] Guys, please forgive me for what I'm about to do. [Takes a deep breath and steps off of his Stage] MARIA! BEHIND YOU!
{Maria spun around to see Darren, about to lunge at her with a knife! Her eyes widened and she flung up her arms to protect herself. And all of a sudden...}
*CLANG!*
M.S: *Looks around to see what the noise was and gasps* TYRONE!
{Tyrone had ended up tackling Darren but ended up being stabbed in the side. The tiger was still on top of Darren, despite having a knife buried deep into his side he was still holding the man down. His breathing very much audible, his fangs bared and his eyes a pitch black. Darren was struggling beneath the tiger but was unable to do much.}
M.S: *Runs over to Tyrone's side* Tyrone! Oh my God, your hurt!
Benn: Ty!
Coco: Tyrone!
Lilly: This can't be possible.
M.S: Guys! He needs help!
Tyrone: [Grunts] No... I'm fine. You hnngg! You need to help Jeremy. Ha... I'll be.. [Grunts again] Fine.
Benn: I'll help Jeremy, you guys help the boss!
Coco + Lilly: Understood!
M.S: Lilly, you help me get Darren from under Tyrone! Coco, you make sure that Ty doesn't pass out!
Lilly: Of course.
Coco: Your gonna be okay Ty!
...10 minutes later...
M.S: Okay, that's sorted out. Benn, hows Jeremy!?
Benn: Fine! He's just a little sore from the ropes!
M.S: Coco, hows Tyrone doing!?
Coco: Going good, he's still conscious!
M.S: *Goes over to Tyrone and kneels down* Hey big guy, how you doing?
Tyrone: [Audibly breathing] Just about as fine as anyone with a knife buried in their side! Thanks for asking.
M.S: We need to pull that knife out; Coco, can you make sure that the knife isn't stuck in any important circuits?
Coco: Already did! I gave him a quick check over while you were fighting to tie Darren down. It doesn't seem like it was launched deep enough to hit anything important. It did cut a few power lines but that's about it.
M.S: Right, so we can't power him off while we pull this knife out?
Coco: We can but there's a risk that he may power off permanently.
Tyrone: Just do it! I can't risk that sort of thing, not now!
Lilly: Are you sure?
Tyrone: [Grunts] Yes! Just as long as its out!
Coco: Okay, Maria. Do you want to pull the knife out or hold his hand for support while another does it?
M.S: *Looks at Tyrone's pained face then sighs* I... I'll pull the knife out.
Tyrone: [Smiles then grunts] The girl actually does know me. Heh, what a surprise.
M.S: *Smiles weakly* Are you ready?
(Tyrone nods)
M.S: *Deeply inhales then exhales* Okay... On 3 I'll pull it out. 1... 2... *Pauses then braces herself* 3!
{And with that Maria grasped the knife and keeping her breath steady she pulled the knife out of Tyrone's side. The tiger let out a yell of pain before silencing it with a pained grunt.}
M.S: Ty! Are you okay?
Tyrone: [Lets out a heavy breath] Urghh, yeah... I'm okay. Well, I am now at least.
M.S: *Sighs in relief* You scared me half to death you idiot! Don't you dare do that to me again!
Tyrone: [Smiles weakly] No promises there heh.
J.T: Hey, what about me? Don't I get any love?
M.S: *Sighs and smiles* Jeremy! You had me so worried! I'm just glad that your okay.
J.T: How about Tyrone? Is he okay?
M.S: He's fine, he just needs to recover. Once he's recovered Coco can repair the damage.
J.T: [Sighs in relief] That's a relief to hear. [Turns to face Benn] Thanks for helping me back there.
Benn: No prob! Wait... Your not surprised that we're intelligent Animatronics?
J.T: Eh... I kinda knew that already.
Coco: Say what now!?
Lilly: How could you have known?
J.T: Just little hints here and there. You see, during the day I'd see just how lively you were and I always thought to myself: how could an Animatronic that was programmed to entertain children be this lively, this energetic? And now... Well, I can say that I was right to question your nature.
Tyrone: That... And the fact that 2 days ago you saw us being ourselves around Maria.
M.S: *Gapes at Tyrone in surprise* How did you know he was there?
Tyrone: Heh, a magician... Never reveals his tricks.
M.S: *Smiles and leans forward so she was looking into his eyes* Your like Tyrell, you know that?
Tyrone: [Eyes soften] That sort of thing can be passed down, even though circuitry.
M.S: *Grins* Yeah, I wonder what other sort of things can be passed down. Even through circuitry.
Tyrone: [Smiles and raises an eyebrow] What are you planning on doing young lady?
M.S: *Giggles* This young lady is planning on making you pay for scaring her half to death.
Tyrone: [Chuckles] Oh really? How do you plan on doing that then?
M.S: By doing this!
{Maria gently tackles Tyrone out of Coco's arms and pins him to the floor. Tyrone was laughing as he lay there, he didn't know what Maria had planned but it was fun apparently!
Maria smiles as she leans forward again, this time she moved so that she was hovering over his face. Tyrone smiled at her and put his hands up in a surrender pose, lightly mocking the situation they were in.
Maria smiled and giggles lightly before moving her head down, lightly brushing her lips against his before instead moving and kissing his nose.}
(Maria sits up slightly)
Tyrone: [Smiles] Tease.
M.S: Told you I'd make you pay. *Smiles and sticks her tongue put playfully*
Coco: Awww, that's so cute!
Benn: Speaking of Tyrell, has anyone seen him or SpringBenn? I haven't seen them.
Lilly: Strange, neither have I.
J.T: Great, don't tell me that they've gone missing.
Spring Tyrone: Missing? Why we're right here.
M.S: Oh thank goodness, where have you two been?
SpringBenn: Tyrell and I were in the Backroom, we wanted to sort out a few things down there. It ended up taking a lot longer than expected.
Benn: That would explain why we only see you during the day.
Spring Tyrone: I'm sorry if we worried you.
Coco: *Hugs Tyrell* It's okay! Just as long as you two are safe and sound.
Spring Tyrone: [Chuckles and hugs Coco back] And as you can see, we are indeed that. If not more so!
SpringBenn: Yeah, like I said our little sorting mission ended up taking us a few nights to do. But we got there eventually!
Tyrone: [Sits up] So what do we do with Darren? We can't leave him in the Restaurant, even though he's tied up he's still a threat.
Lilly: He does have a point.
J.T: I say we phone the police and have the guy thrown behind bars!
M.S: *Nods* Let me talk to him first, I have a few questions I need to ask him.
Coco: Be careful!
/With Darren/
M.S: *Kneels down and removes Darren's gag* Alright Darren, I need some answers.
D.H: Yeah... That ain't happening!
M.S: Look, I know something that would probably wouldn't have effected me if I knew you better. But I didn't!
D.H: What are you getting at?
M.S: Do you know someone by the name of Suzanne Smith?
D.H: Suzanne? Yes... She's my sister... What about her?
M.S: Well guess what? I'm her daughter!
D.H: W-What?
M.S: That's right Darren, that would make you my uncle!
D.H: [Silent]
M.S: Look Darren, a long time ago I'm sure you were a good guy. Not only a good guy but a supportive older brother. But what you've done is breaking the law. Just tell me, why?
D.H: I... I was forced to kill those kids! The men that forced me to kill them told me they would hunt down my sister and kill her if I didn't do it... I...
M.S: Was just trying to protect my mum.
D.H: Exactly. I wouldn't have done it on any other circumstances! I regret it to this very day and everyone believes I did it for fun! They even told me to act cocky about what I had done!
M.S: Oh Darren, I'm so sorry. I can't believe that it had a whole other side to it!
D.H: *Sighs* But I am willing to take the punishment, I deserve it after all.
M.S: *Frowns* Well, how about this? I phone my mum and you can explain the situation to her. We can then send you to Court where you can explain why you did what you did. How about that?
D.H: *Nods* I'd like that.
...
M.S: Hello? Mum? I have someone here that wants to speak with you.
S.S: [ , of course sweetie. Who is it?.:]
M.S: Here. *Passes it to Darren*
D.H: *Sighs* Hey... Long time, no see.
S.S: [ ? Is that you? *Starts to tear up* Oh my God... I... I thought I'd never hear from you again!.:]
D.H: I'm sorry Suz, I haven't been the best older brother. But I need to explain to you... Just what happened.
/A very long explanation later/
D.H: And that's about the long and short of it.
S.S: [ Darren, I never knew! I'm just glad that deep down you were thinking about our family. I knew you weren't a bad man Darren.:]
D.H: So, see you in Court then?
S.S: [ Darren, I want to help you clear your name.:]
D.H: Thanks sis, your the best! Love you.
S.S: [:.*Sniffs* Love you too Darren, bye!:.]
D.H: Bye.
*Click*
M.S: Better?
D.H: Thank you for your help Maria, *Smiles* I don't know what I would have done if we hadn't met.
J.T: Hey Maria! You done questioning him? The cops will be here soon!
M.S: Yes Jeremy, I'm done!
J.T: See you back at the Main Stage!
M.S: Good luck Darren!
D.H: *Smiles* Thank you.
/Back at the Stage/
M.S: Is everyone okay?
(Everyone gives their approval)
M.S: Ty? How are you getting on?
Tyrone: Couldn't be better! Coco just finished fixing my wounds, I should be fully functional by the morning.
M.S: I'm glad to hear it!
Lilly: This has been quite the hectic few days hasn't it?
Coco: Your telling me! Wow!
Benn: *Puts an arm around Coco's shoulder* But its just the kind of crazy that keeps the World interesting!
Spring Tyrone: Quite so!
SpringBenn: So what of Darren? Did he say anything?
M.S: Yes, but it's personal to him so I don't have the right to speak about it.
Tyrone: Such things create respect throughout the human race.
J.T: True that my friend!
Benn: So what now?
Coco: Do things go back to normal after this?
M.S: Hehe, I don't know. But if you ask me then I don't really mind what happens!
Lilly: As long as we're all able to experience it together.
M.S: Indeed!
