--With Vince--
He woke up and realized he was floating, he looked around and all he could see was awful things. But some where good, they all floated in broken pieces around him.
"Hello?" He called but all he heard was his own echo, he looked at his arm that was still burning. And rolled the sleeve up and was surprised to find that all the scars had opened and were dripping blood. He floated/Walked, and looked at the small Images that kept showing themselves to him. He found one of Argos and his master, the two of them were running though a forest. But he heard a familiar voice call out,
"Vince what did I tell you about playing in the snow without a jacket on?" It was his adopted mother, Mrs. Lock.
"Not to go outside without a coat on..." The younger version of him replied, there was a slight giggle,
"Okay then go inside and get a coat, then you can come right back out." His mother replied, there was the sound of snow crunching as the younger Vince ran inside. Vince found the image making the noise, he saw Henry walk out of the house,
"Anna, When do you think we should tell him?" Henry asked his wife, and she turned her head to look inside the house,
"I hope we never have to, I hope he will always be our child." Anna replied, and the younger Vince ran out of the house in a coat. Suddenly the image changed and darkened, it was the younger Vince he was running, he ran into Anna's arms crying. That's when Afton walked into the image, he was holding a knife. "What do you want?!" Anna demanded, and something yanked Vince off of her, She reached out and grabbed him. "Leave us alone!" Afton smiled crookedly, and threw the knife at Anna, she screamed and it hit her in the chest. Afton smiled and Disappeared, she collapsed and the younger version of Vince was crying even harder.
"Mom? MOM?!" He cried "Please wake up! Don't leave me!" The younger version sobbed, his eyes flickered Henry walked into the picture. He looked shocked at first, but he picked up the crying Vince and held him. He dialed 911 and there was the sound of ambulances, Anna's body was carried away, while Violet and Harry where comforting Vince.
"I say the weird one killed her, He was the only one here.." It was their uncle, but Henry shook his head,
"I don't think so, He was crying, there's no way." Henry replied, and their uncle shrugged,
"You never Know, with those adopted kids, they could be real evil at heart. His uncle replied and the image disappeared, Vince looked around,
"He was right... I am evil..." Vince sighed, and looked at his arm, "Maybe all those parents were right...Maybe I do deserve to be put down..." He could hear another image speak, (((Don't think that! Noooooo Bad thought, Bad thought!))
"What if what they say is true?" It was the younger version of him, it sounded as if he had been crying,
"What about you? Or about me?" It was Flower, Vince found the image and watched it,
"Both.." The younger version replied, and Flower paused,
"About you, they don't know who they are talking about. All they have done is judge you by your looks, not who you are on the inside." Flower replied with a smile, and Vince looked at her,
"But what about you?" He asked, and Flower put her hand on his head,
"I am who you want me to be, real or imaginary, only you can hear and see me... So what am I to you?" She replied, and Vince thought for a second,
"I want you to be real!" He said, and hugged her, she smiled,
"Then I am real." She told him and the image disappeared,
--With Flower--
She walked into the Forgotten Universe and looked around,
"Vince?!" She called, no reply, she sighed and began to walk further into the universe, she could hear the images calling out to the people inside her. She forced herself to keep walking, "Vince?!" She called again, no reply, "I hate this place..." She sighed, and kept walking, the silence freaked her out more than anything. "Vince please answer me!..."
"Why did you come here?" Vince asked, and Flower looked him in the face,
"What do you think?" She replied, Vince shrugged,
"To collect a Freak?" He said, and looked at her, she was blind sided by his answer,
"Explain to me why you think that?" She asked, and he shrugged,
"What else could I be everyone else thinks that..." Vince sighed, and Flower looked hurt,
"Fine if you think that then you can stay here!" Flower yelled which surprised him, "If you are going to talk nonsense, then be my guest and stay here!" She glared at him, "Let's try it and see who all misses you! If you are going to keep saying that!" He realized that she was just upset, "You act if no one cares for you! Would it surprise you that some do?!" She demanded and he stayed quiet, "WELL?" She asked angrily, his eyes flickered and blackened.
"I want you to be imaginary!" Vince yelled, No stop! Flower stopped,
"What?" She asked she sounded as if she were going to cry,
"You heard me!" He shouted, Stop it! Leave her alone! there was a crackling sound and the bottom of her dress turned gray like stone.
"Fine. I will be Imaginary. I hope you are happy." She said with tears running down her face, she straightened and turned to stone. Vince looked at her,
"Flower?" He asked, "Flower I'm sorry... It wasn't me..." He cried aloud, and the whole Universe was silent, "Please I'm so Sorry!" There was a Voice behind him,
"That won't fix anything Boy." Vince turned around and there was what looked to be an impure behind him, "Crying and asking for forgiveness, won't do anything." She sighed, and crossed her legs, "I have been in here for eons, I did nothing wrong so I guard the Forgotten Universe.."
"Weren't most of the impures killed innocent?" Vince asked, and she nodded,
"True, but, I am an impure of the guardian angel and the guardian demon. So I get to Guard something, they didn't care what.. For all they cared I could have been guarding a pool of lava and they wouldn't care if I died or not." She explained, "But it has been a long time since I have seen an Impure like her, Two angels, one Demon.. Or like you, Two demons and one angel... I mean most of the impures I knew had two parents but you two had three.." She sighed and walked over to Flower, "Didn't you learn anything from the memory?" She asked him, and he shrugged, "You weren't paying attention where you?"
"Sort of.." He admitted, and she rolled her eyes, "But you're asking about something in particular aren't you?"
"What do you think?" She asked sarcastically, and Vince thought about what was in the memory, He realized what she was suggesting.
"You want me to think of her as real, and see if that works..." He said and she nodded, he thought of her as real and there was a cracking sound as the stone fell apart, and revealed Flower. She still looked upset,
"Fiona, How are you?" Flower asked, and Fiona shrugged,
"As okay as you can be when you are trapped in a trash dump for universes, and I haven't been called my real name in so long I had forgotten it." Fiona admitted, and Flower's eyes brightened,
"Well, It has been a long time hasn't it?" Flower said and Fiona nodded,
"Eons, Star Flower, Eons, I have been forgotten by the angels and the demons." Fiona sighed, Flower stopped,
"Well, I'm sure the Dollhouses appreciate Your help..." She suggested and Fiona shrugged,
"Sure, yea... I wish I had a few more visits... from the beings of the universes.." Fiona sighed and Flower looked at her suspiciously, "I know what you're thinking and no, the memories here would not be much company.." Flower shook her head and whistled, out of nowhere bounded a dog, "I'm not even going to ask how it got in here..."
"It was already in here it's a memory, anyway, She's been in here the same amount of time you have been here for... So now you have some company!..." Flower replied as the dog stood on its hind legs and changed into a human, and hugged Fiona, "Well we have to go, Lilly's freaking out..." And Vince looked at her, "If you're wondering how I know that it's because I can hear her." Vince realized that his left arm had stopped bleeding, he looked at it and found that it had been bandaged.
"You're welcome, But Star Flower is right you must get moving." Fiona said, Vince nodded and his vision darkened, he began to hear voices.It was Spring and Lilly, he was tempted to stay on the floor and scare the rabbit, but he thought better of it. Because most of the times he scared anyone in the restaurant, He ended up with a knife in his throat. He got up and continued his work on Fredbear's body he wondered if the rabbit would notice. Lilly peeked around the corner as she was putting the book back, she looked at him. He waved to her and she stopped,
"Do you care to explain?" She asked, and he shook his head,
"Nah, I'm good, Watcha got there?" He replied, and she walked in and set the book down, The Dollhouses, By Darling ((No joke that's my real last name)), "Never saw that one before.."
"I bet you'll never believe me if I told you they are real." Lilly muttered, and Vince looked at her and set the tool he was holding down,
"I have no doubts that they are real.." He told her, and put his hand on her head, and she looked at him confused, before looking at Fredbear's body.
"How do you know you're doing a good job?" She asked, and Vince looked at the body,
"Well if it isn't leaking oil, or ready to blow up in your face then, You are doing a good job." He answered with a smile, and Lilly looked at the table that had oil from the wounds dripping from it.
"But what about that oil?" She pointed out, and Vince looked at it,
"I haven't fixed that yet..." He replied taking his hand off her head and grabbing the tool, "I started this not too long ago.. So I haven't gotten around to that.." Lilly's mind crossed with a another question,
"What about Foxy?" She asked, He paused and looked at her,
"That's Freddy's problem not mine." He told her sternly, and she looked confused,
"Why? Didn't you build them?" She asked and he nodded,
"I did they just don't like me, like the rest of the restaurant.. If I went over there they'd try to kill me.." Vince sighed, and Lilly nodded, "So what are these Dollhouses like?" He asked changing the subject,
"Why don't you meet them?" She asked and he set down the tool and followed her put of the room, and locked eyes with Faeya. She had something in her hand,
"What's the match for?" Lilly asked her, but Faeya shook her head,
"It may look like a match now but it's our only remnant and friend from our Universe." Faeya replied, and Kay nodded his black and white hair got in his face.
"The only thing you saved was a match?" Spring asked, and Kay shook his head,
"It's called a Firebug, but Faeya named it Flame." Kay explained as Faeya's necklace glowed and the match lit on fire, becoming a little floating fire with little black eyes and stubby legs. It rubbed itself on Faeya, "Its lucky we are fire proof, but other than that it has caught things on fire.." Faeya was holding it, in cupped hands it just sat in her hands making a purring like noise.
"Why are you called Dollhouses?" Vince asked startling Spring, Kay paused and Faeya still holding Flame answered,
"We are dolls that's why, If it weren't for the necklaces, we would just be lifeless dolls." Faeya replied, and Kay became his black and white plush dog, "He can't talk right now, forcing sewn shut jaws open is... uncomfortable..." Faeya explained as Flower walked out of her room and Faeya let go of Flame and it flew into Flower and knocked her over, it was rubbing its head/body on her and was purring. She picked it up, and stood up, she seemed to pet it.
"So this is Flame?" She asked and Faeya nodded, as Flame made a cat like meow or some sort of strange higher pitched squeak.
"It likes you!" Kay said becoming human but with his black and white ears and hair,
"I had no doubts it would.." Flower sighed and handed Flame to Faeya,
"Why do you say that?" Kay asked and Flower opened her hand and there was a flame in it, "Huh okay.." Suddenly something flew out of the fire in her hand startling her, it was another Firebug but this one was blue.
"Everyone stand back..." Flower said gesturing for them to back up which everyone did,
"Why?" Vince asked, Flower looked at him,
"Because Blue is the hottest type of fire.. That's why... But according to Solstice.. Its a message..." She said reaching out her hand, it climbed on and there was a bright flash and she was gone. Everyone was left in a awkward silence,
"You know what...I'm just going to go back to the Work bench room and work on Fredbear..." Vince said, slowly backing up and going to the room as Mangle bust in and the Dollhouses became dolls, She looked at Spring and he pointed to the work bench room. She walked in and shut the door behind her,
--With Vince and Mangle--
"Vince! Why can't you Fix Foxy or Maggie?" She demanded, and Vince looked up from Fredbear,
"One I don't know Maggie's circuitry... Two, I'm working on Fredbear... And Three, I can't go to their side." He sighed and looked back at his work, "Besides I have told you this."
"Why can't they just let you fix him?!" She demanded, and he didn't look up this time,
"Because of our past history," He sighed, "Plus it won't matter once they find out Harry can't fix him, nor can Flower... They would rather let him die then ever letting me help..." He mumbled,
"What?" She asked, she heard what he had said, but couldn't quite understand it.
"What I mean is.." He grabbed something from inside the bear and began to pull it out, "Is that half his endoskeleton is missing, so most of him now is just costume.. And when I destroyed the robots I didn't tear out their endos, I just cut them to bits.." He finally pulls out the metal piping, and tosses it aside, "So it was an easy fix, just reattach this and that... But what Foxy's body needs right now is something like what we did to you.. Only because No offense, but Harry isn't really a good engineer.. That's why he could fix you.." Vince explained and counted as he listed a new thing, "New endo. New wiring. New costume. New mechanics. Control panels, Mother boards, Circuitry, lights, Power devices, and stuff like that.." Vince sighed and continued his work, "Do you get my point, Besides Freddy would be watching me the whole time... and that's not okay with me.."
"Why is that?" Mangle asked,
"Because having something you destroyed that doesn't really like you looking over your shoulder.. is uncomfortable." He sighed, and Mangle nodded understanding his point,
"But couldn't you just ask him not to?" She asked,
"Okay then, Imagine this," Vince said stopped what he was doing, "The same person who killed people and destroyed you and your crew, wants to fix one of your crew alone without anyone looking over his shoulder." Vince told her, she imagined it and got his point, He nodded and went back to work on Fredbear. "But hey at least he can still get around." He sighed, and she watched as he shut of the oiling systems that kept the animatronics alive. He turned around and picked the bear's arm off the floor, "Do you need anything else?" She shook her head, "Then go comfort your kids they've seen alot right now... So maybe you could pick out a book from the reading room and read it to them... I dunno..." Vince suggested, and she left, he sighed and continued his work.
((Next few chapters around the 9th I might do breaks in the story to show exactly how much of SmM gets done.. I might even add the times I start writing and the time I stop))
