--1 hour later--
Spring awoke it was 12am he was allowed to move, everyone else but Vince was asleep.
"I'm going to see Mangle. Alright?" Spring said to the ghost
"Is it okay if I come?" Vince asked, Spring nodded and they left together. Spring was at Mangle's door when he was stopped by police tape in the way.
"Police tape?" the last time he had saw that was when Fredbear bit a child. He ripped it and kept going, he stopped at her door. Vince decided to poke his head though the wall, Spring didn't notice until he pulled his head out.
"Dude I don't think she's going to open the door. You of all people should know what this means.." Vince gestured to the broken tape
"What another murder?" Spring suggested, Vince gave him an offended glance.
"First off that was a long time ago. Second The other thing" Vince replied, Spring understood he was talking about The bite... Spring pushed open the door. Mangle was on the floor with blood dripping from her mouth, she was clearly powered off and parts of her body where strewn across the floor. Spring went to her, picking up her main head. While Vince went to the back of her neck and pulled out two wires. The wires started sparking, leaving Spring to wonder what Vince was doing. Vince picked one of the rubber balloons off the floor, he put the two wires together and tied them with the balloon to keep them that way. Spring who still held Mangle's head felt her start up system activate, Vince walked over to behind Spring and sat down. Mangle's eyes opened, and Spring hugged her.
"Your okay!" Spring said, Mangle looked over his shoulder at Vince and started to growl. Vince stood up and started to back away from Mangle and Spring.
"Its his fault that he's dead!" She growled, getting closer to Vince
"Look here I don't know what you are talking about... wait you can see me?" Vince said pushing Mangle's face away from his. He looked at Spring, a look that read: Tell her please before she tries to kill me
"When you saw that man you couldn't move your body... I mean it's like it had a mind of its own?" Spring spoke up getting Mangle's attention off Vince. She looked at him curiously
"How did you know that?" Spring sighed, wincing at the memory of what happened to Flower and Star fresh in his mind.
"It happened today, I-I nearly killed a friend of mine.." Mangle looked shocked, she glared back at Vince who put his hands up. "It wasn't Vince...that man was my Creator and Vince's father.." Mangle felt terrible she almost attacked an innocent man for something he didn't do.
"Spring promise me something." Mangle said
"What?" ((Spring))
"Don't get too attached to me, they are coming to scrap me tomorrow.." ((Mangle))
"No they won't" Vince replied, "They can't waste any working company machinery it's a policy or they would've scraped Spring years ago." Spring literally could have been scraped he was shocked Vince kept that from him. Vince continued, "Plus if I makes you feel any better I'll right them a 'note' " Spring smiled, when Vince means note he means a threat on a piece of paper. Mangle looked confused
"What will a note do?" Vince smiled at her
"I know all the company's secrets. For instance when someone Murdered children, the company decided to hide the bodies, so they ground them up and put them on the pizza?" Vince smirked at the robots look of disgust, and started laughing. "I will threaten to tell the media they will be forced to keep you."
"Thank you Vince" Mangle replied politely but then asked, "Why would they scrap Spring?" Vince gave Spring a Don't you dare look, Spring shifted uneasily.
"Lets just say I used to be worn as a suit. The murderer of the children tried to hide I'm me and.. well... he died and now I have a rotting corpse in me." Spring explained, Mangle looked at him strangely.
"I don't believe that.." Spring moved his hands to his jaw where there was a lock he flipped it, and his top piece of his head flipped back, revealing Vince's rotting corpse. Mangle nodded "Okay I believe you now... but wait if Vince is the child killer, Why does he not act like it?" Vince looked uneasy
"You said your bodies acted on their own accord... well.. I grew up with that issue... I'd get mad the next thing I knew someone was hurt and I was holding the weapon..you didn't even feel what I felt... but let's just say that...Mine did terrible things for fun...I hated it now that I'm dead I don't have that as much as an issue.. I honestly never wanted to hurt anyone..." Vince looked to the ground, the robots were shocked with his answer. As far as Spring knew Vince was always quiet, sat in the corner and did his own thing.
--Back with the Love's Dinner Crew--
Silver had gotten there just in time, the two of them could have died. Star had woken up and was talking but her arms and leg mortars were badly damaged. But Flower on the other hand was in critical condition, Copper told Silver that the golden bunny was talking in his sleep saying things like "I didn't mean too.." and "I had no control" that lead Silver to believe that the bunny was friend not foe. Flower still laid against the wall where she'd been attacked, Silver had been to afraid to move her in case that caused something worse to happen. The two poodles sat in the far corner, and would not make eye contact with anyone. They let the golden bunny leave the room, they knew that he wasn't a threat as long as that man wasn't there. Silver knew the man, or at least he thought he did, the boy from his dinner who was almost always on the wrong side. Silver chuckled, and Star looked at him curiously, she couldn't move because of the damage done to her.
"What are you laughing about?" She asked
"That boy that always sat on your side." He replied in his western accent
"William?" ((Star))
"Yeah that strange boy!" ((Silver))
"He wasn't strange, just misunderstood." Star replied,
"Ya... it was strange that he stayed on your side, and not on mine..."((Silver))
"Well at least he didn't harass the girls unlike the other boys.. " ((Star))
"Fair enough!" Silver agreed, shrugging his shoulders as he started to play with the spurs on his boots. Star watched him, the last time she'd seen him he was on the ground bleeding. She started to hum the tune, she had somehow memorized.
If only, if only, the woodpecker cried, "if the bark on the tree was as soft as the sky" Down below waits a wolf, lonely and hungry, he cried to the moon, "If only, if only"-
Silver sighed, listening to Star, he pulled his hat down over his eyes and fell asleep. Star looked to Copper and Gold who also fell asleep, she smiled and sighed. She looked to Luna and Solar, who looked to be crying, she patted the floor beside her the best she could, trying to call them to her. They hesitated before finally going to her, Luna spoke first,
"Do you Hate us?" Star shook her head
"Of course not!" Star replied
"But we've done such terrible things!" Solar said
"Yet I still don't hate you, nor would I ever! But I need you to watch Flower, please wake me up if she gets worse or better." Star told them they nodded, and walked over to Flower. That was the last thing Star saw before being shut down.
--To Vince--
The animatronics were engrossed in a conversation that didn't involve Vince, so he was laying atop a party table staring at the ceiling. Something caught his eyes it was the dog he had drew in the sketch book Flower had given him. It looked over the rafters and dropped something on him. It was a box, tied with string. He opened it carefully, inside was three packages, each had a name on it. He pulled out the one with his name on it, then he set the box in between of the two animatronics. They both looked at him curiously, he untied the string on his and unwrapped the paper. It was a color photo of a man and woman, in a purple and blue frame with a pure white feather tied to the side of the frame with a yellow ribbon. The man looked like Afton but his eyes where bright purple instead of dark purple, she was wearing a black tuxedo with a violet in the pocket of the vest. The woman wore a white wedding gown, she had black hair and gray eyes. The man had lifted her above his head, and both were smiling. On the back of the frame was a note "I'm sorry you didn't meet them"
Mangle pulled her package out with the help of Spring. It was a box, she was still figuring out how to open the box, when it opened itself. A small animatronic parrot poked its head out, random bits were missing, in its beak held a note "Hello, my name is Petey, tell me to 'fetch' "
"Uh..Okay Petey, Fetch?" Spring looked at Mangle funny, before the small bird took flight and left the room. Petey came back carrying a giant red rubber coated ribbon. Vince went to Mangle and tied it around the balloon and her neck creating a giant bow. Spring gazed in wonder at the box Where did it come from? Who sent it? Mangle carefully picked up Spring's package and put it in front of him.
Spring opened the box, inside was a small stuffed bear, it had a black bowtie and top hat and eyes, it's color was a bright yellow. The doll reminded Spring of Golden, the doll's eyes lit up with a white iris, startling Spring enough to drop the doll. It hit the ground and cried out
"Ow! You could have done anything and you drop me!" The voice shocked all three friends, Spring recognized it as soon as he heard it.
"Golden?" The small bear nodded
"Good to see you too Spring!" Spring picked up the small bear and placed him on the table next to Vince. Vince handed Spring something,
"Mangle found it" It was a note "Hey, look he isn't dead! Happy Reunion!"
Vince went back to his table in the corner, when he saw it. A pitch black dog with red eyes, Vince started shaking, he needed to warn the others, but his voice wasn't working. He saw images flash across his mind, strange things, and the things he wanted to forget, the kids, the murders. He put his hand to his head, before his knees gave out. His eyes started to leak a mixture of blood, tears, and a black liquid, a mixture he was all to familiar with. No please! He cried out in his head. Spring saw Vince and went to him, Spring looked Vince in the face as his purplish gray eyes where replaced by black with white irises. But before he lost all control he managed to say one word "Run!" Vince's body went slack for a split second before grabbing Spring and throwing him in to the cement wall. No! Stop it! Leave them alone! Vince cried out in his head. Vince started laughing,
"Stupid machine! You can't kill me!" Mangle lunged at Vince snapping at him, but he moved out of the way, but Mangle was quicker and wrapped her extra limbs around his arm. "Dumb mechanical mess, did you really think that could stop me?" What he didn't expect was Foxy showing up and digging his hook in to Vince's other arm. Vince let out an unearthly screech as the robots where holding on to him. Mangle snapped her jaws around the top of his shoulder, as a warning. Spring could feel the pain that was being inflicted on Vince, he knew that whatever was attacking his friends was not Vince. Vince's eyes landed on Spring who was leaning against the wall.
"She's not here to save him this time! There's nothing you can do to save hi-" Mangle in one quick motion snapped her jaws shut on his shoulder leading to his chest. Some of the blood and black stuff leaked out of the wounds and his mouth. His voice became hoarse but spat something else to Spring. "You know if I die he dies! And you will too! No one can save hi-"
There was a loud snap as Vince hung limp from Foxy's and Mangle's grips, they both dropped him to the floor with a thud. Behind Foxy and Mangle was the marionette, her pointed fingers where covered in blood from the hole in Vince's back. Spring fell to the floor sitting up against the wall, but then he saw it. The pitch black dog, it looked at him and Clamped its jaws down on Vince's neck. Spring made a choked sound and fell completely to the floor staring up at the ceiling, he saw the same dog Vince had drew looking down upon him. His vision faded in and out, and then finally nothingness.
