"Hey Mangle, wake up!" She heard the call of someone very familiar, her eyes opened up and there stood Flower, alive and well. Mangle hugged the girl she was very happy they weren't dead!
"You're not dead!" She exclaimed
"Umm I hate to burst you bubble but yeah we are.." Said another familiar voice, she turned around and there was Vince propping himself up against a wall. She grabbed him and hugged him too. Flower looked at the two of them, and shook her head.
"Anyways, Mangle how do you feel?" Flower asked, for the first time Mangle didn't notice that she wasn't sick anymore.
"I Feel great!" Mangle replied ecstatic, Flower and Vince nodded.
"That at least tells us that your working alright, Okay now try to shut down." Vince said, and Mangle tried to turn off but couldn't.
"I can't." Mangle replied after a few minutes, "Is there something wrong with me?" Both Flower and Vince shook their heads, Mangle looked at them curiously.
"Its normal, Spring can't shut down either but can fall asleep." Mangle was astonished, Flower had just said that she couldn't shut down. Mangle looked confused for a moment or two, before looking around the room, her second head was still there. But her body had been rebuilt into a soft, pink and white costume, she even had a tail. Flower opened the door, suddenly Mangle wondered if she could still hang on the ceiling.
"Do you know if I can still...?" Mangle looked at Flower, who nodded
"Yes you still climb an the ceiling." Flower smiled, "But I on the other hand prefer to walk." She went down to the main stage area, with Vince close behind. Mangle followed them from the ceiling hiding in the rafters to avoid being seen, Flower and Vince stopped at the entrance to the main room. Vince was immediately ambushed by Lilly and Butterscotch, Lilly wrapped her arms around Vince and hugged him. Flower looked at the two and smiled, but it started to fade when she saw Harry looking at her. Mangle followed the rafters to Spring who sat on the stage with his ears back. She flipped off the ceiling and sat down next to him, he had his eyes closed and didn't seem to be paying attention. She spoke to him, making her voice sound deeper she asked.
"What's wrong?" Spring flicked his ear, he sighed
"I miss Mangle..." He replied, he didn't look up, what he had said made Mangle realize just how much she had missed him as well. She put her hand on his shoulder, he jumped, but she spoke in her normal voice.
"That's good I missed you too!" She said, he turned around and hugged her. He couldn't believe it, his lover was back and repaired. He smiled, and laughed.
"Your soft!" He smiled, and she rubbed her arm, he was right, her fur was soft.
"Huh..Your right!" She smiled back, giggling, at Spring's face. "Maybe the girls and I should give you a makeover!" He looked at her funny, before shaking his head.
"No, that's a bad Idea..You know what's inside me...they don't.." He replied, Mangle thought about the body that was inside Spring.
"Can't they remove it?" She asked, but he just shook his head.
"Flower said if they did I wouldn't be able to move or even do simple tasks. My systems have adapted to his body being there, they now apparently depend on it. Ironically I find that disgusting..." He said, then stuck his tongue out in disgust after he had said the last part. They both looked to Vince who now had Lilly on his shoulders, Flower was walking with Butterscotch, but Flower was stopped by Harry. He said something to her and they both walked out of the main room. Lilly had seen it, she looked as if she had been crying, but she had this childish smile on her face. Vince had walked up to the opposite side of the stage from the animatronics, he set her down next to him. The animatronics could hear the whole conversation between the two.
Vince rubbed the small girl's hair, then looked at her face, Butterscotch hopped up next to Lilly. Lilly's eyes where red as if she had been crying, Butterscotch began to lick Lilly's face.
"Lilly have you been crying?" Vince asked, Lilly looked at him, then looked down and nodded, "Is something wrong?" again Lilly nodded Vince became worried, "What is it?" Lilly looked at him then to where Flower had left.
"A Nightmare." Lilly looked down, and leaned against Vince, he put his arm around her.
"You can tell me." Vince said, trying to help the girl get over her nightmare. Lilly closed her eyes and started shaking in fear, of the memory of what had happened.
"You where there...Flower was too..it had started as a normal day coming to the pizzeria with my dad as always... but then there was this pink cat she had one arm and one working eye...She tried to hurt me with her claws so I ran...Butterscotch was beside me and suddenly you where there...we ran to you and...Next thing I knew was in a room...Chica was there...and you where hurt...I about... went feral... Flower came in as a dog she was glitching out.. and had a giant hole in her stomach...me and Butterscotch we fell asleep..and the next thing I knew was that... I was a dog... I was standing near a staircase...and Freddy had come in and grabbed your arm...there was a noise and I lost it... I flung off the staircase and latched on to Freddy's other arm.." Lilly said, as tears started streaming down her face. Vince was listening he was shocked, how could a little girl imagine something like that? But Lilly wasn't done yet she took a deep breath and continued on. "He knocked me into a wall...Then he grabbed you again but...this time ...by..The throat...Butterscotch she did the same as me and managed to latch on to his leg...He dropped you...and flung Butterscotch across the room... I was preparing for another attack...and Foxy then came in...He hit me with his hook.. and I fell winded...He was using me against you... He swung his hook planning to kill me...and then there was Flower...his hook went right through her...She fell...there was a man with wings behind her...He spoke in my dialect and in English...but Freddy had gotten up and was behind you with something in his hands...He...He had a sharp piece of metal..he...he... stabbed you with it... I could see the end of it sticking out of your chest... you where bleeding...and you fell to you knees...and I ran to you and...you...you..." Lilly was trying to choke out, what happened but Vince was pretty sure he knew what happened. He had understood why she was crying. "I woke up in my bed... crying and when my dad came... He did as always took me here...and I looked for you in the place... that my dream showed me...there was whitish purple feathers covered in blood scattered everywhere... and in the center of it all was that piece of metal...it was cover in blood...and there was purple material on it... I thought that you where gone... Freddy he was powered off but he had mine and Butterscotch's teeth marks in his costume...and Foxy's hook was bloody...and I had found this it the closest...it was yours even in my dream.." She finally stopped and pulled out Vince's sketch book out from her coat pocket. He flipped though it, everything was the same except. A note with curly writing and one new drawing, there where two dogs in the drawing, Butterscotch and her Husky and Golden Retriever blood line sitting next to a Dalmatian it's coat was black with white spots. Lilly gasped and pointed to the Dalmatian, "That's me! But...How if it was just a dream?"
"I don't know... I don't remember drawing this..." Vince replied shocked, Lilly looked at him.
"What about your arm and leg?" She asked, suddenly worried
"What about them?" Vince replied confused
"Can you stand?" She asked, Vince looked at her as if she where crazy.
"Lilly I just brought you over to the stage, not to say also picked you up." Vince replied confused why Lilly had begun to act crazy. "You know what, you stay here. I'm going to see if Flower and your dad are done talking." Vince stood up and went to get off the stage, but as soon as he did his leg started to hurt, and then stopped moving in total. He fell face first, on to the tile floor, he went to get up, he placed his hands on the floor and pushed up, he almost got up off the floor before his arm stopped working as well. He fell again and Spring was looking at him and holding his arm. Lilly got up and ran towards Freddy's group's side, she grabbed the piece of metal, and ran back to Vince. A whitish purple feather, was in her hand as well as the piece of metal. While she was running, her form shifted to the dog and she was now on all fours, and carrying the metal and feather in her mouth.
Harry emerged from where he and Flower had left the main room, they where done talking. He walked in to the room to see Vince on the floor struggling to get up while a rebuilt Mangle was fussing over Spring who was holding his arm and telling her to go to Vince. Flower walked into the room and froze, she crumpled down to the floor, she had her mouth open as a hole tore its way right though her abdomen. The wound was starting to bleed, Harry freaked out and started looking for Lilly. When a Reverse Dalmatian ran out carrying a piece of blood covered metal and a feather. Vince's eyes widened at the sight of the feather, for it was his. Lilly kept the metal in her mouth, she knew what would happen if she dropped it. She took the metal as far away as she could from Vince, she dropped it and placed her paw on it, Butterscotch ran up to her and did the same. Flower's bleeding from shifted to the golden dog that glitched, Vince knew what the gray side was, it was a crying child, like the ones who had chased him in to Spring's suit. She got up and padded over to Butterscotch and Lilly, she placed her paw on the metal. She looked at Vince, and spoke,
"It will find its place if we don't stop it." She said, Vince knew what she meant by it will find its place, right in his chest. She looked at Lilly, "Go get the other feathers I have an idea." Lilly lifted her paw and Flower placed her other one down upon it. Lilly returned with a mouthful of feathers, she dropped them near Flower who had lifted her wings off her back. Lilly placed her paws on the metal as Flower removed hers, Flower padded to the feathers and started placing the feathers between her own until she couldn't fit any more in her wings. She flared her wings out, and barked "Now!" Lilly and Butterscotch lifted their paws off the metal, and Flower ran right though a wall, the metal followed her.
It had been 10 minutes since they had seen Flower, Vince had been moved to the stage near Spring so Mangle could fuss over the two of them. Flower ran right though the wall weaving in between tables and chairs, but she was exhausted. She stopped for a second and looked behind her, Vince saw her mistake, the piece of metal changed directions. It came in front of her, she turned around, just in time for it to zip forward and go right into her chest. Her dog mouth opened up, blood flew out of it as she was flipped on to her back and lay still. There was a bright flash as Flower disappeared all that was left was the purple feathers and a small pool of blood. Lilly whimpered and it looked as if she where crying and Butterscotch looked shocked. A man in a blue tunic, with a small golden paw print pin holding it all together, he had large white wings, and blue eyes, he had blonde and chestnut hair. Inside his head Will gasped,
"Its the Brother in Blue! Vince watched as Harry eyed the man carefully as he approached Lilly, he reached out and petted Butterscotch. Butterscotch seemed to bow down to the man, bowing her head, and bending over a bit. Lilly picked up her head, as the man approached her, he sat down beside her.
"Why my blood daughter, do you weep?" He asked, and Lilly looked up and rested her head back down on her paws.
"Something bad always seems to happen, around me.." Lilly sighed, and the man looked curiously at her.
"You mean, My impure daughter, are you not?" He asked, and Lilly nodded, and set her head back down, "Have you not learned anything? Nothing stays dead forever." As soon as Vince heard that statement hope filled him. "But as my descendant, you understand why impures are dangerous, especially of my brood. You have a feral side am I wrong? And it is quite dangerous if I am wrong that is why you have a guardian?" Lilly looked confused first, before finally nodding.
"It is only defensive, or protective use but unstable." Lilly finally admitted, the man looked to her.
"But you guardian is alive, is she not? My impure daughter, my brother killed hers every time I tried to help he would kill any animal I had sent, birds, dogs, cats, all of the animals. The animals still found a way to help her by showing her what was going on being her eyes in spirit form the followed her even in death. She grew up, on his terms, many times he tried to kill her but none ever worked accept for one." Vince suddenly felt Will's anxiety overwhelm him as the man talked. "Using the ones she cared for against her, but she managed to save him. Unlike My son her real father, the Demon had no control over his body only on certain times. But she would calm him down on those occasions. As smart as she is, and as powerful she is. She has one defect, Lilly do you know what that is?"
"No, sir, I do not." Lilly said as she shook her head
"She cares too much, She fights for the ones she cares for. And too much of the time it is used against her. She is more or less like a wild animal, those wanting to use her for themselves, they use the ones she cares for in attempt to tame her. Yet it has not worked, she will fight until there is nothing to fight for." He replied, Lilly looked interested
"I have heard of you and your sibling, but...if I am descended from you does that explain why I can hear them and others can't?" Lilly asked, her form shifted back to the small little girl that everyone knew.
"Yes, meanwhile learn from your family to help understand what to do, I would ask My direct descendant. Ask for help with your abilities, unlock new ones and seem like a normal kid." He said before standing up, his form shifted to that of a golden eagle, he soared around the room before flying right out of the roof.
There was another flash of light and Flower was laying on the ground, right where she had disappeared. She sat up,
"Remind me to Never do that again." She said as she rubbed her forehead,
"Noted!" Vince said, raising his only working hand. She laughed and stood up, walking over to Lilly, she reached out a hand, Lilly took it and hugged Flower.
"I thought you where dead!" Lilly said quietly, loud enough for Flower to hear, Flower knelt down matching her height with Lilly's.
"I've got to much to protect, to die like that." Flower had bent her finger and lifted Lilly's face up, "And that includes you." Lilly smiled and gave Flower another hug, before running up to the stage. Flower had disappeared, and reappeared right beside Spring she whispered something and he shot straight up. He looked at her,
"Are you sure?" She nodded and handed something to him, it was a bright purple bowtie, unlike Spring's it looked as if it had not aged one bit.
"Its him I'm sure." Flower replied before walking over to Vince and helping him stand up, "Let's get you fixed up!" Vince smiled, and together they made their way to the saferoom.
