Saphira was relieved when she finally finished oiling Freddy. He was the last of the animatronics for her to oil the joints of and she looked forward to being able to be in his company. Mr Hippo had remained after his joints were oiled to observe Saphira. She was a bit upset by that because he knew she was feeling the need to be with Freddy. She did not know if she could convince Freddy to have sex with her as they both knew that doing that could risk her getting pregnant. But, all she wanted to do was to seek comfort in his arms.
"Do you think you could tell me what is on your mind?" Freddy asked suddenly as Saphira finished the diagnostic process. She looked at him in surprise when he asked the question. "I can tell something is on your mind. It isn't just the recharge station, is it?"
Saphira sighed and turned away, walking out of the cylinder to the computer to finish the log. "I…there were nightmare bots…in the tunnels again…"
"You went through there?" Mr Hippo asked in surprise.
"Well…it was that or go through a very busy atrium and lobby, it would have taken more time." Saphira typed on the computer to finish the log. "I didn't think anything would happen while the pizzaplex was still open, or risk another employee see them."
"They chased you, right?" Freddy asked gently, seemingly unsurprised by that given all she has been through already.
She nodded. "One of them had 'I am Dave' written on the chest, that was not the most disturbing thing. And the bots made hissing sounds that snakes make…I guess he's playing on my fear of snakes now." Saphira sighed deeply and turned to face Freddy. "Will you stay with me tonight? I just need you tonight."
"Of course, super star, you know I will be there for you," Freddy said to her with a smile. "We won't have as much time since you had to oil all of our joints, but we have a few hours to kill."
"Great." Saphira hugged him and wiped her forehead. "I need to have another shower I think. I don't know why I am sweating so much…"
"Just as long as you keep from being intimate," Mr Hippo said in a stern voice. She nearly grimaced to show that was what she was thinking, but she simply acted surprised at the sentence. "We all know that you cannot go ahead with it."
Saphira just nods her head to him silently. She knew she shouldn't, but…she felt like she was in a battle with herself at the moment. She knew part of it was the injection having an influence on her mind and emotions right now, and she just didn't know what to do. She finished the log and turned to face Freddy, she felt a sense of guilt in her. She didn't know why she felt guilty, but because she was going to ask him to try and do what they both know they should not do.
"Come, super star." Freddy held his hand out to her with a smile. "Let's go. I am sure you will be wanting something to drink."
She smiled at him and takes his hand gently. He noticed her hand was shaking, though he did not comment on it. The warmth of his hand around hers sent waves of excitement through her body. She walked with him out of Parts and Service to the office. Mr Hippo did not follow them, he watched curiously before he would leave to head to Glam Corner to spend time with Pigpatch. They both walk together silently to the office, though when they enter the office, Saphira stopped suddenly with a small whine.
Freddy looked at her with a frown, she was looking down and seemed very sad. "Hey…" He moved closer to her and placed a finger under her chin to lift it so her eyes could look at him. They were full of tears. "Is everything really, okay?"
Saphira shrugged and stepped closer to him, kissing his lips gently. "It is now, now that you are here." She smiled at him and wiped away her tears. "All I want right now, is you."
Freddy chuckled lightly at her. "Yeah, well, your body needs to cool down. Shall we go into the bathroom?"
Saphira nodded and walked around Freddy, unbutton her shirt slowly and swaying her hips. "I can think of plenty of ways to pass the time in the shower."
He frowned slightly at her seductive tone, though he shrugged it off. He followed her into the bathroom, he himself was feeling warm as he watched Saphira remove her clothes. She slide off her pants and smiled at him, pressing her bra covered breasts together and running her hands over her curves. Freddy was almost lost in that before he realized what she is doing.
Freddy stepped back from her, the movement surprised Saphira and she blinked at him in confusion. "Saphira…I am happy to help you however I can. I want to comfort you. But…we cannot be intimate. You know it, and I know it. It is not for your benefit."
Saphira said nothing for a moment before she shrugged. "Who said I wanted to be intimate? We don't have to be to enjoy each other's pleasure." She smirked at him, unclipping her bra and pulling it off. "How about you join me in the shower, and I will show you."
Freddy did not know if he should believe her. Her tone was seductive, the way she moved her hands on her body was enticing him and her eyes…they were screaming at him with seduction. He did not sense love like before. He stepped back again and she frowned a him.
"I am sorry, Saphira, you must have the shower alone." Freddy watched Saphira's face falter, and her eyes fill with tears. "I am sorry…maybe…maybe when this injection in your body passes…we can go ahead with it. But not now. I am sorry, super star."
Saphira bit her lip, she knew he was right, but another part of her was angry at him for rejecting her. She let out her tears and sniffled, moving her hands to her head. "What is wrong with me, Freddy? I felt okay earlier, now all I want to do…I just want to feel you inside me again. I want you to make me scream."
"I wish I knew…but it is not your fault. Please…don't tempt me." Freddy looked at her with a sad expression, he wanted to hug her, he feared she would try to convince him before opening the flap on his crotch. "Surely, the injection will stop influencing you soon."
Saphira began to sob uncontrollably. She also wanted it to stop, but she wanted Freddy right now to comfort her. She covered her face with her hands, dropping to her knees sadly and lowering her head to the ground, digging her fingers into her head. Freddy felt really bad for making her cry, and seeing how she was. Saphira herself also knew it was herself she was fighting with, all she wanted was to just make it go away.
"I'm sorry…" Saphira's muffled voice said through her hands. "I just want it to go away."
"I know." Freddy stepped closer and dropped to one knee, placing a hand on her back gently. "But you and I both know we cannot be intimate. I guess it must be like fighting yourself, it must not feel good. And I am sorry this has been placed on you. However, I do believe you get through this. You are very strong, super star. I believe in you." She listened to him, but she does not look up at him. "You just need to believe in yourself."
Saphira looked up at him and smiled. "Thanks…I really needed to hear that…" She paused when she saw Freddy frowning at her with concern. "What now?"
"Your…face…" Freddy points to her. "There's red fluid coming coming from your nose."
"Huh?" Saphira placed a hand under her nose and looked at her hand. "Oh damn!" She stood up and grabbed a piece of toilet paper to place against her nostrils. "I haven't had a nosebleed in a long time."
"Is that not something to be concerned about?" Freddy asked curiously, he did not like what he saw. It frightened him. She shakes her head. "Is it because it is normal or something?"
"Well, yeah. The last time I had a nosebleed was two years ago." Saphira did not see it as a problem. "I'll admit, this seemed worse than what that one was. But, the reason why I had a nosebleed was because I actually ran into a door, face first. That was embarrassing."
"Okay…but what about random?" Freddy asked in a slow, curious voice. "Has that happened before?"
She thought about the question and shakes her head. "This would be a first time…"
He was very worried about her. He didn't know what could have caused the bleeding, Saphira didn't know either. However, the fact she had felt overwhelmed with her need to be with Freddy and the need to fill her desire was strong…no, that couldn't be the reason. That would be foolish. But, if the injection was hurting her subtly, that actually would not surprise her.
"Hopefully the bleeding stops, I would hate for you to block your nose." Freddy rubbed his chin and glanced at the shower for a moment. "Maybe just have a shower now, perhaps a cold shower will help."
She nodded, it most likely will. She threw the paper away and slipped off her panties. Freddy's eyes glance at her core, he saw the string of fluid attached to her panties and he glanced away. He could tell she was feeling the desire for him. Freddy himself was lucky he did not have those forced feelings, though he was dealing with his own desire right now. Saphira's actions had made him feeling very warm, he wanted to nothing more than for her to wrap her hands around his length and stroke it. But he knew that would be dangerous. At least, at this time.
Saphira turned on the water, gasping as she felt the cold water hitting her skin. She smiled as the heat on her body was soothed and she wiped under her nose to get as much of the blood off as she possibly could. She glanced over her shoulder to look at Freddy, he was standing there with a sad expression on his face. She felt herself feeling sad again and she turned away, sniffling softly and sobbing quietly. Freddy's presence made her want to drag him into the shower and go through with it, but she had to keep telling herself that they could not. It would only risk her getting pregnant.
But as she thought about it, was it really that bad? Because, if they defeated Mr Miller and the virus early enough, she and Freddy could have a child. But…it also wouldn't be natural. However…it was perhaps her only chance of having something so special with Freddy. It never had been something she had thought about until all these events. Maybe a part of her wanted the child to be made. It wasn't an ideal situation, but Saphira wondered what a child would look like from the both of them. She placed a hand on her stomach as she thought about what it would be like to carry his child. She pondered on that, and realized…maybe good could come out of it. Sure, they were somewhat being encouraged by the virus and Mr Miller…but their choices and actions from now will impact the outcome of their child's safety.
She turned to face Freddy with a curious expression. "Can I ask you something?"
He blinked as he was in his own thoughts and smiled at her gently. "Of course, you can ask me anything, super star."
She hesitated on the question at first before speaking. "If…if we didn't have this…um…insane being wanting another body through me being pregnant…um…how you would feel about me having a child with you? You know…without all of this insanity…"
Freddy was surprised by the question. "To tell you the truth, I have not thought about it. However…I am not sure if it should happen." Saphira blinked in surprise at the answer. "I am not even sure how a child mixed of metal and flesh could even survive. I have wondered…can humans lose children during pregnancy?"
"Um…yeah, it's called miscarriage." Saphira knew that was also a possibility. She would hate to go through that, but she didn't know if she even would. "It's not very nice. But…I suppose you are right. There has never been a case of living metal. You guys are alive, but…your metal is not."
"Precisely, we were built. We understand that. I am not sure how a child from you and I could cope…in fact, I understand that maybe having a child with me might be exciting to you. But…I am not so sure. Mostly because I am afraid of what could happen." Freddy glanced away from her with a frown.
She smiled at him. "You know, that makes you a good father in a way." He looked at her in surprise again. "You are already concerned for someone who doesn't exist. I like that about you. You are so kind, caring…I bet if you had the option of adopting, you would probably be the best dad ever. Like Mr Hippo."
"Thanks, that means a lot to me." Freddy rubbed the back of his head with a chuckle. "I had no idea I could be capable of that."
"Hey, consider spending time with the kids that come here as practice." She giggled at him gently. "Look, I know this is what he wants. But…I have to admit…the idea of having a child with you seems…"
Freddy shakes his head at her, making her frown slightly. "I would want to believe that is your mind talking, but I also believe that injection is influencing that desire. Please, don't keep that thought in your mind."
Saphira felt fresh tears falling at that, she knew Freddy could be right. But she herself wanted that chance. She was lucky the shower was washing away the tears, but Freddy could tell this was hurting her. He sighed deeply and closed his eyes for a moment before opening them.
"I am sorry if I am hurting you, I just wish I knew what you are saying is real," Freddy said to her in a very gentle tone. "I am sure you understand. After all, before, you wanted me to get intimate with you. You made that very clear with your words and actions. Now, you're telling me you want a baby. To me, that is another way to try and convince me. I am sorry."
She could see how it would look that way to him. She sniffled and took a deep breath. "I am sorry…I guess you're right. It does look suspicious…honestly, I didn't think of that." She was starting to feel cold again, she shivered and realized her desire for Freddy had finally faded. "I will put away the baby idea…and…maybe you're right. Even if Mr Miller somehow managed to figure out a way, I don't think a child made of living metal and flesh would even survive. Not very well anyway."
Freddy watched her turn the shower off and he noticed she was shivering. It seems talking it out has helped her. He was pleased with that, but he was sad that it had to be this way. She grabbed a towel and wrapped around her body. The blood had stopped running from her nose, and she seemed a lot more like herself. He smiled and left the bathroom for a moment. She frowned a little before she slipped her underwear back on. He came back shortly after with a pair of folded pyjamas, warm pyjamas with Chica on them. Saphira was surprised and she smiled at him.
"Thanks…" She took them from his hand and slipped them on. "Just what I needed…I guess Vanessa can do the rest of the night on her own."
"Well, it is about three-thirty right now, and she dealt with several annoying guests already. I think she will be fine for two and a half hours." Freddy glanced at the hairdryer as Saphira grabbed it to dry her hair. "Besides…I…you should take a look at the cameras."
"Huh? Why?" Saphira frowned and placed the hairdryer down, not even bothering to dry her hair and stepped around Freddy to leave the bathroom. "What is on the cameras?" She walked over to the monitors and looked at them with a frown. "Point it out…" Freddy points to the utility tunnel view. "Oh."
Saphira takes a seat as she saw Vanessa in the utility tunnel. She appeared to be pacing and arguing, she could not hear anything that was being said of course. But, she was by a very, dark tunnel where no light was shining and she was pacing in front of that. Saphira wished she could brighten the image, although she doubted it would help.
"She was doing that when I came out to grab you some clothes," Freddy said softly as he observed Vanessa's actions. "She's talking to someone. We cannot see him."
"Mr Miller, probably," Saphira said with a shrug. "Although, I can't confirm. Woah."
She widened her eyes as it appeared that Vanessa was suddenly pulled into the tunnel by something. And Vanessa seemed terrified when that happened. Saphira tensed a bit and glanced at Freddy with a worried expression. She wondered if this stuff happened to Dave, though she did not know. This was extremely, extremely strange.
"Should we investigate?" Freddy asked curiously.
Saphira looked at him like he was crazy. "I hope you are kidding. There is no way I am going down there. Not after I was chased by nightmare bots that were hissing at me. Something worse probably will happen if we go down there. I am not stupid."
Freddy glanced at the camera with a frown. "But…what if she disappears?"
That was a good question. Saphira did not think that would happen. Mr Miller has made it clear that woman was important to whatever plan he had for the pizzaplex. She sighed deeply and sat there watching to see if Vanessa comes out of that tunnel. But she does not. However, strangely enough, Freddy points her out on the atrium cameras ten minutes later. That meant that the cameras were being masked in real time. That was not good. Saphira did not bother trying to find out where Vanessa went though, that was not something she wanted to find out.
Saphira felt a buzz on her Fazwatch and she looked at it to see there was an email sent to her. She frowned and saw it was an email sent directly to the security department. It was sent by someone who let her know that two people who had been at the pizzaplex did not come home after the show that night. A young man and young woman.
"Hang on, I just got an email from someone…" Saphira said as she read through the email. "Two people didn't come home from the pizzaplex tonight. Hmm…Jesse and Naomi…" She turned to her computer to check the guest list to see if they were in the system. "Oh, seems like they were here and checked out at ten thirty."
"So, their profile was not deleted like that girl?" Freddy asked curiously.
"Nope. It might be the case of they went somewhere else." Saphira pulled up the pictures of the couple and turned to the monitors to see if she could find the couple. "It won't hurt to see where the couple had gone to."
"A little strange this happened right after that girl disappeared." She nods in agreement. She started the lobby camera from five thirty, that was when the guest list said they checked in. She used her program to see if the cameras were masked again. "Maybe…if the Princess Quests…check the arcades."
"That is going to be the plan…oh, no masking used here," Saphira said as she watched camera footage. "Let's see where they go."
Freddy and Saphira watch together as Saphira followed the footsteps of the couple throughout the facility. Nothing seemed strange until after the big show. Both young man and woman started to fade from the cameras and Saphira was able to figure out there was a masking program on at the time. It wasn't ideal, but it was needed to find out what happened to them. Saphira and Freddy watch the cameras closely, the couple have some food at El Chip's, they then go to Roxy's Raceway and finally the Shy Foxette. A third person shows up to their surprise. They introduce themselves to the couple before they seem to lead them to a staff door and walk through it.
It took Saphira a few minutes to figure out which hallways that door goes into and followed their steps, which seemed to lead to an elevator. She was confused, she doesn't remember an elevator in this part of the pizzaplex, the three people get in and the doors close. Saphira tried her best to figure out where they went next, but there literally nothing.
She slammed her fists on the desk, surprising Freddy as she was feeling very frustrated. "Grr! I can't believe someone lured those two somewhere. They must have had too much to drink to be led astray."
"It seems that way. But…who would do that?" Freddy rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Dave isn't here…"
"Oh, who else would be doing that?" Saphira shakes her head with a frown. "It's Vanessa!"
"Now, hang on, Saphira," Freddy said to her with a frown, raising his hands slightly to calm things down. "I may not like her either, but we don't have any evidence that it was Vanessa who did that. It could have been someone else. We also just found out Darren is part machine, he could have had a part of play."
"I suppose that could be possible…but Darren does not seem like Dave or Vanessa…so…I don't think it is him. He's been too open and honest with us to go and do something like that." Saphira knew it was just accusations right now, but she had a gut feeling on who it was. "But still…"
"She's new, I get it, she's been recruited by Mr Miller. But…what if there is someone else doing the dirty work?" Freddy wanted to believe Saphira, but there was no evidence that pointed to Vanessa regarding these disappearances. "Look, I think you want to find anything to get Vanessa out. Fine, I understand you want to protect us and yourself, but…I don't like that you are just accusing her. There is no evidence."
Saphira frowned at him. "It's just a gut feeling…you believe me when I have that."
"Looking back on those incidents, fine, if there was a similar incident that involve her directly I might consider it. However…I am sorry, until we have evidence, I am not going to accuse her of anything. You are simply making assumptions." Freddy hoped she would relax as she looked away from him. "I am on your side, know that, but I am not going to throw accusations at someone where there is no evidence."
She completely understood where he is coming from. Saphira took a deep breath and sighed deeply. Maybe she was making an accusation. Unfortunately, the blurry picture of the three people didn't really show who was male or female, so he was right. She still couldn't shake the gut feeling Vanessa had something to do with it. But…given what both she and Freddy saw in the utility tunnels…she wasn't sure what to believe. She could be a victim, but she could also be enjoying it too. She was not sure. She rubbed her forehead in frustration. This was becoming more like a giant headache at the moment more than anything.
