Vince was shocked, one moment Lilly was beside him the, next thing he knew a brown dog had pushed her off the stage, and an arrow had appeared in it's side. Right where Lilly's head was moments before, he saw it look back at Mary, before falling down. Felix had rushed up to the stage and picked up the dog in his arms, and sprinted back to the saferoom. Mary had quickly followed him, but Rose had followed after her. Vince knew what Rose could do and slid off the stage, his leg had almost completely healed and he could walk. That was all he cared about, he limped after Mary Ann, he got there just as Rose crushed Mary's hand.
"What the hell Rose?! Let her go!" He yelled and Rose looked at him and let Mary go. She looked at him, and smiled viciously.
"Their going to die anyway. Why not now?" Rose said, smiling before walking past him back to the stage. Vince quickly followed Mary into the saferoom, he walked in to the room he and Flower had used to repair Mangle. Inside was Felix wrapping up the dog's side, while Mary was shaking her head.
"Kaynine, sometimes I feel like you do stupid things, do you understand me?" She said, and the dog made a small whimper, only then did he see the red colored fur on the dog's right eye.
"Wait, that's Kaynine?" Vince asked, and Felix looked at him and nodded.
"Yep that's my stupid brother, well either very Stupid or very Brave." Felix replied reaching for the arrow he had taken out of his brother, it had a red crystal arrow head, and a note tied to the end. Felix ripped it off, and unfolded it. He immediately looked, shocked and Mary took it from his hands. She read it aloud,
"It says, Death to the bloodline of the Brot-" she stopped, and slammed it down in her unbroken hand, "Damn it! Must every thing happen to our Bloodline?"
"Wait does that mean?" Vince asked, not wanting to say what he was thinking, Felix had walked up to Mary and was now examining her broken hand. She looked at Vince and nodded,
"Yes, it means they are after the only living descendant of the Brothers." She replied
"Lilly" She said, but a new voice had joined in, and they spoke as one. Felix had begun to wrap up Mary's hand, she winced, as it was being wrapped up.
"Did you guys hear anything?" Vince asked, but Mary shock her head, and Felix did too.
"Vince, dear, are you all right?" Mary asked in a worried tone, as Felix continued to wrap her hand. Vince noticed that he had wrapped all her fingers separately, he picked up at least five pieces of metal and one small sheet of the same metal. Felix wrapped each piece around each of her fingers, and connected them to the sheet of metal, which he had put down on the back of her hand. Then he wrapped that as well up, once he was done, Mary thanked him and petted Kaynine's face with her unbroken hand. Kaynine picked his head up and licked her hand, before he flopped his head back down, and started making a whining noise. Mary stopped and walked up to Vince, and the voice spoke again.
"Watch out she's going to mother you." It sounded as if it was beside him, he turned around frightened, but nothing was there. Mary Ann looked at him curiously, before patting him on the back.
"Maybe you should get some sleep." She said in a concerned tone, and he nodded
"Told ya!" It said, and he turned around, and came face to face with what looked like a younger version of Rose. She waved to him, as he walked past her as if she was Rose. He settled down in the saferoom, and the girl followed him.
"Rose go away, don't you think you've done enough?" Vince said quietly, and the girl looked hurt, she looked to the floor sadly.
"I just, thats fair.. I do look like my half blood sister... Or maybe you just don't remember me.." The girl sighed, that was when Vince noticed that the girl wore clothes from the 1950's, he sat straight up.
"Flower?" Vince said very quietly, and she nodded and floated over to him and settled down beside him. "I'm sorry I just didn't realize it was you." He said, but Flower shrugged, "But how come I'm the only one who can hear you?" Vince asked, completely confused, Flower looked at him.
"I don't know if you remember or not, but you used to talk with me when you where little until you where about nine." She replied, and Vince nodded even if he didn't remember that. She looked at him more seriously, "Hide Lilly in my room with Butterscotch, Spring, and Mangle. The door on it only opens if someone I trust opens it. Look in the reading room and open the thickest book, to Spring's blue prints. You should find a weapon, more specifically a sword in it's scabbard. Give it to him, don't worry he'll know how to use it. For Mangle, at the far back of the reading room, there is a bow and a quiver of arrows, again she should know how to use them. I will have Sehara bring them food, we need to protect Lilly, in the mean time you must sleep I will come back tomorrow. " Vince suddenly felt drowsy and fell asleep, Flower smiled down at him and slipped him the piece of paper, before disappearing.
--The Next Morning--
Vince woke up, and found the paper in his hand and opened it, it said everything she had told him last night. He got up to go talk with Spring, Mangle, and Lilly, he found them all sitting on the stage together. He told them Flower's plan, and showed them the paper. Mangle led Lilly and Butterscotch to Flower's room, but Spring had stopped to talk with Vince.
"How do we fight something off with out weapons?" Spring asked, and Vince looked at the rabbit.
"I have it covered." He replied, and Spring looked at Vince like he was forgetting something.
"Didn't Flower make sure you can't hold weapons?" Spring asked, Vince realized that he was right.
"I believe I have it covered, don't worry." Vince replied with a hint of doubt, he patted Spring on the back, "Go, be with Mangle and Lilly, I'm sure Mangle is wondering where you are." Spring nodded and walked to Flower's room, Vince followed the rabbit, before splitting up and going to the reading room. He found the book and flipped to Spring's blueprints, Flower was right inside was a sword. He held his breath and picked it up, it was longer than the book but it looked older than anything in the room but it looked completely new. He soon saw the name carved into the handle, S. Spring, he had never heard the name before but set it down on the table. He looked around and found the bow and the quiver full with arrows, the bow was wooden and had a flower carved into it, it was really a beautiful work of craftsmanship. He picked it up and set in near the sword, they were the same age. He picked up the quiver, it was mechanical, but it was the same age as the bow. Next to the quiver he found a box, it had a note attached to it with Lilly's name on it. He picked up the quiver and slung it over his shoulder, he took the bow and put it near the quiver. The quiver seemed to take the bow out of his hand and clip it on to it's self. He picked up the sword and the box and ran towards Flower's room, he put his hand up to the wall and it opened, revealing what looked to be a house inside it he walked in and the wall closed behind him forming a door.
"Uhh...Hello? Guys I brought gifts." Vince called out into the rest of the house and a new dog peeked its head around the corner, and barked walking up to him and wagging it's tail. It was gray with a white patch on its back a reverse Husky, then out came Lilly followed by Spring and Mangle, Butterscotch followed behind them. Lilly ran forward and hugged him, almost knocking him down, he just barely kept his balance. While the animatronic, were both staring at him strangely, before Spring spoke.
"Where did you get those?" Spring asked, gesturing to the weapons, Vince pulled out the paper, and handed it to Spring.
"It said where to find them, and told me to get them why?" Vince asked, as the animatronic, didn't even look at the paper. The rabbit, set the paper down and looked absent mindedly around him. Vince thrust the weapon into the rabbit's hands, Mangle looked at Spring and took the weapon out of Spring's hands and clipped it around his waist, as soon as she did that there was a loud clicking as large pieces of glass rose out of the ground separating Spring from everyone else in the room. Then at the other side of the glass, to mechanical beings rose out of the ground and charged the rabbit. He drew the sword and raised it in front of him and two swords clung off it. One of the robots lunged at Spring and swung his sword at the rabbit, Spring matched the blow with his own. Spring braced him self against the glass and ran forward, and ((So please understand and imagine that this was quick)) he stopped right before the robots and spun, decapitated the robots. He was at the other side of the glass and sheathed the sword, right as both robots' heads slid off there bodies. Lilly was staring wide eyed at the rabbit as he walked back and the glass slid down back in to the floor.
"Huh..I..Did not know I could do that..." Spring said, as Lilly shook her head, clearing her thoughts.
"Are you kidding that was cool!" Lilly said, and Vince looked at the girl curiously.
"I thought you didn't like violence." Vince said, but Lilly looked at him funny.
"But you didn't see what I saw. It was cool! Plus I know nobody got hurt." Lilly replied with out a hint of hesitation, and Spring and Vince looked at her. Spring spoke up first.
"What did you see?" Spring asked and the little girl, looked at him.
"I saw you the real, but forgotten you." Lilly said shrugging, and Spring looked confused.
"Is it what you saw me as when you saw Butterscotch as a Person?" Spring asked, and Lilly nodded, "And what was that?" Lilly thought hard for a second, before finally replying.
"A young man, maybe a bit older that Vince. With short blonde hair and scars across his eyes and wearing a leather chest plate, along with shoulder, knee and elbow pads." Lilly replied, and Spring stood wide eyed at the girl.
"Well, Mangle your next." Vince said as he handed her the bow and the quiver, that were still stuck together. She put it on her shoulders, and the robots rebuilt themselves and grabbed Butterscotch, Mangle was then surrounded by the glass as well one of the robots held a sword to Butterscotch's neck, even Butterscotch looked scared. Mangle grabbed the bow and placed her hand on it, and the quiver let it go. She reached back and pulled an arrow out of the quiver, she put it to the bow and pulled back the string. She released the arrow and it hit the robot holding the knife and went right though it, hitting the glass and bouncing off it back towards Mangle she grabbed it and put it back into the bow and released it again hitting the robot holding Butterscotch. The arrow bounced off the glass and yet again back towards Mangle, she grabbed it and put it back into the quiver. The glass fell and Butterscotch ran back to Lilly, who whispered something.
"Native American, she's Native American.." Mangle looked at her, and cocked her head.
"What?" Mangle asked, and Lilly spoke again
"You have black hair with white stripes in it, your eye is yellow, but you have scratches over the other. And your wearing a brown fluffy dress with beads on it." Lilly said absent mindedly, while Mangle looked confused before Spring told her about the 'real you' thing. Vince reached into his pocket, and pulled out the box, he handed it to Lilly. Lilly unfolded the paper but did not read it aloud. ((just a little foreshadowing from me I'm going to tell you what it said))
Dear Lilly,
The weapons where given to the animatronics to protect you. Stay near them, and if everything you care for is in danger touch the thing in the box in the sequence, Middle, First, Middle, Third. Use it wisely.
P.s. There's something in the box for Butterscotch and Vince.
Love, Flower.
Lilly opened the box and and it was a necklace, the charm was in the shape of a paw print she flipped it over and on the back numbers where inscribed on the back. She put in on carefully so she did not to hit the sequence. She reached into the box, again and pulled out a paw print shape out of it, somehow she knew she needed to put it on Butterscotch's shoulder. She moved Butterscotch's service dog vest out of the way and pressed the shape on Butterscotch's shoulder. It melted in to her fur as a bit of her fur changed into her dark golden coloring. Lilly moved away from Butterscotch, and reached back into the small box, and pulled something else out. She threw it at Vince, who caught it, it was a pen until he took off the cap. It changed into a crossbow, just like his daggers it was a crystal purple, a purple ribbon came out of it and wrapped itself around his shoulder and arrows sprung out from it. The glass came back and surrounded Lilly and Butterscotch, the robots took Lilly to the other side and held a knife to her throat. Butterscotch growled and the mark on her shoulder began to glow, something appeared in the air and Butterscotch grabbed it with her teeth. It was a small double sided blade, and it fit perfectly in Butterscotch's mouth. She lunged and sliced off the leg of the robot holding the knife, before rounding back and slicing it's head off. She turned to the other robot and did the same. The glass fell and the blade dissipated, the robots put themselves back together. They saw Lilly talking to Butterscotch and heard a new voice.
"So does this mean I can speak English?" The voice had come from Butterscotch, everyone stared at her while Lilly laughed. "What are you laughing at? And why are they looking at me like that?"
"Butterscotch, You do know you are speaking English, right?" Lilly asked, and Butterscotch looked excited.
"I am?" Butterscotch asked, and the dog beside her cleared it's throat.
"You are." He replied, then Lilly looked at him confused.
"And you are?" Lilly asked, and the dog looked at her
"I am Sehara, one of Flower's guardians," Then he looked at Vince, "I believe she talked to you about me, speaking of which, can you fly?"
"She did, but No I can't." Vince replied, and Sehara gave him this look that Vince swore if the dog was human, he would have had raised eybrows.
"Not to ask can you untuck them? I would like to see something, then we can get to your test." Sehara asked, and Vince untucked his wings and the dog walked up to him. Sehara was looking at the feathers on Vince's wings, "You should be able to you have your flight feathers." Sehara spoke, and Vince was confused, "Well then one of your tests will be flight, we will teach you like a mother bird teaches her young."
"Are you sure that's safe?" Lilly asked with wide eyes, and Sehara shook his head.
"No it is not." He replied, and Vince started to back away. "But we will save that test for last, first will be shooting then sword play."
"Hold up, how will you teach me to Fly?" Vince asked suddenly nervous
"You will find out soon." Sehara replied, which made Vince even more nervous.
"And I will not watch." Lilly said, shaking her head. The glass surrounded him and the robots picked up their swords and ran at Vince, He loaded the crossbow and fired, hitting the first robot. He when to load the crossbow again but the crossbow had loaded itself, he fired again hitting the second one. The he dropped the crossbow, and got out his daggers, he winced even though he knewthat the robots would rebuild themselves he didn't like killing them. The robots charged him, he threw the dagger with deadly accuracy, it hit the first robot in the chest and it fell. He threw the second hitting the second robot and it fell as well. He watched at the robots picked themselves up and walked to him without their weapons. He set his down near the crossbow, and a giant pane of glass rose up from the ground, picking the three of them up and into the air. Once in the air the robots moved close to him and pushed him over the side of the glass. He was falling, free falling, he opened his wings and began to glide, he moved them up and down trying to catch the air. He looked down he was getting closer to the ground, he found what he was looking for and soared up right before he hit the ground. He saw a new figure among the others, it was Flower, he glided back down and landed on his feet. He folded his wings back up, and glared at Sehara.
"You didn't tell me you where going to push me off a really high place!" Vince said to the dog, and Sehara looked at him solemnly.
"Makes you respect birds more does it not?" Sehara asked and Vince picked up his weapons, be clipped the crossbow on to the ribbon, and they disappeared.
"Sure I Guess, but I still prefer walking." Vince replied, and Flower looked at him.
"You should enjoy it while you have it you never know when you'll lose it." She said sadly, and Vince looked at the girl, and shook his head as she disappeared.
