Chapter 4: Vanny the Bunny

When Vanessa woke up, it was Monday again. She looked around her bedroom, observing the world around her, and then at her hands…

A smile appeared on her face.

But it wasn't Vanessa's normal sweet smile…

It was a sick and twisted smile.

She got off the bed and tried to walk. She had a bit of a hard time trying to keep up her balance, and her footsteps were uneven, but she eventually managed to walk normally and went to the bathroom.

There, she went to the mirror and watched her reflection.

Vanessa's green eyes were gone, and glowing purple eyes replaced them.

"…Hahaha"

"HAHAHA!"

"HAHAHAHAHA!" Vanny laughed maniacally.

"Let's have some fun…"

-x-x-x-

Back at the Fazbear Entertainment Bata-Testing building, Luis was already working when he saw Vanessa come in. He happily went to say hello to her.

"Que onda, Ness? How are you?"

"That's Luis Cabrera, Vanessa's friend, greet him." Afton said.

"…Hello… Luis…"

She said to him reluctantly.

"I'm fine…."

"That's great! Ready for the weekend?"

Vanny frowned upon hearing Luis's stupidly joyful tone.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Goodbye."

She answered in a harsh and annoyed voice and walked past him, leaving Luis with a shocked expression.

After that, she went to Vanessa's desk and started the computer.

"Now, I want you to enter the Fazbear Entertainment website. There, I want you to request a job as a security guard at the Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex. Understood?"

"Yes Mr. Afton."

And so, Vanny started filling the request and sent it to the office of the Pizzaplex. After that, she closed the tab and leaned on the chair she was sitting on. It didn't take long for Vanny to get bored, so she opened Google again and looked through Vanessa's search history…

And she was morbidly amazed by it.

She went through every gory search that Afton forced Vanessa to make. And as she looked at the grotesque imagery, Vanny let her imagination run wild with sick and twisted thoughts.

When William created Vanny, he made sure that she would feel the same kind of twisted glee that William used to feel when he killed kids or saw anything related to it.

She could already hear the screams of the children, the red blood dripping out of their bodies, the sound of their shaky breaths-

"No internet connection"

"What?! Oh, come on!"

Vanny said, irritated that she was snapped out of her twisted fantasies. She stood up from the chair, and angrily stomped towards Luis.

"Hey you! Yes, you."

She said pointing at Luis, who was drinking a cup of coffee.

"Uh, yes Ness?"

He asked, a bit concerned as to why Vanessa seemed to be in such a grumpy mood today. What happened next was something that neither Luis nor anyone else in the office would have ever expected to hear from Vanessa…

"The fucking internet stopped working. Why don't make me a favor and go fix it, huh?"

Baffled by "Vanessa's" words, Luis dropped his cup of coffee, and the entire office went dead silent.

Vanessa almost never said bad words, and when she did, it was always in a low voice, and they were never too offensive.

"Well? What are you waiting for? Go!"

She yelled, exasperated at Luis who jumped a little bit at Vanny's abrasive words.

"Y-Yeah, uh, sure, sure…"

He hurried towards the modem while Vanny watched him from the distance. After a while, Luis managed to get the Wi-Fi to work again.

"There. It's… working again."

He said to Vanny nervously.

"Thanks"

She answered apathetically. And just when she was about to start walking off to her desk, Luis stopped her.

"Um, Ness, are you alright?"

Vanny rolled her eyes.

"I already told you, I'm fine."

She answered irritated.

"…Maybe you should take a rest you know? We could grab some coffee if you want to-"

"I have work to do." Vanny harshly said.

"Besides… It's already time for today's class..."

Her tone changed into a more sinister one, as a twisted smile appeared on her face…

"I bet the children are worried about you…"

Vanny said to him. Although she was using Vanessa's voice, it sounded off for some reason. There was something about it that felt wrong. The pronunciation, the tone, the way she said some words… It was so similar, yet so, so different.

Luis felt a shiver go down his spine.

-x-x-x-

Vanny got back to Vanessa's apartment after a long day at the office. She went to Vanessa's room and changed her clothes. She frowned at Vanessa's pink and slightly childish bedroom, so she decided she would sleep on the couch instead. Vanny grabbed a simple white blanket and laid down on the couch. But before sleeping, she set an alarm on Vanessa's phone, which would wake her up at 10:45 pm.

There was one last thing Vanny and William had to take care of before she could get transferred to the Pizzaplex…

-x-x-x-

Back inside Vanessa's head, William pondered. He was still reluctant about letting Vanny take control. Even though Vanny was "programmed" to be subservient to him, there was always the risk that Vanny could decide to not to listen to instructions correctly or do them her own way. But that wasn't the only thing that concerned William about Vanny.

Vanny was the exact opposite of Vanessa. Vanessa liked candies. Vanny didn't. Vanessa liked the scent of flowers, Vanny didn't. Vanny cursed constantly, Vanessa didn't. Vanessa liked sunny days and being outside. Vanny liked dark basements.

Vanny also couldn't feel any kind of sadness or sympathy towards others, unlike Vanessa. This was done in order to avoid any kind of doubt when she needed to hurt or kill someone.

The thing is, due to Vanny's personality traits, she was extremely irritable and abrasive. Even the smallest things made her lose her temper and explode. Which could draw unwanted attention from others. And people meddling with his plans was the last thing William wanted.

So, now that Vanessa's body was asleep, William decided it was time to introduce Vanny to Vanessa. And he would take this chance to attempt one last time to gaslight Vanessa into obeying him.

-x-x-x-

Vanessa sat quietly in the dark prison William had trapped her in. She was curled up in a corner, wondering what she had done to deserve this. She had no idea how much time had passed, or what the Golden Bunny had been doing with her body.

Suddenly, she heard a voice inside the room.

A laugh…

"Hahaha…"

She quickly stood up and looked around the room.

Another laugh echoed around the room.

It was strangely familiar. It almost sounded like her own voice.

"H-Hello?"

"HELLO, VANESSA! HAHAHA!" the voice announced.

Startled, Vanessa quickly turned around. And there she was…

Vanny

She looked at her with a mix of shock and horror. Standing before her was someone dressed in a white, anthropomorphic rabbit fabric suit. It looked just like the drawing she had made weeks ago.

Except…

It was dirtier, baggier, badly stitched, and had two horrifying red glowing eyes with a big, twisted and unhinged mouth. The suit also had blood-like stains, but they weren't red, they were black. It was like a nightmarish version of her drawing. And the worst part?

She talked with her voice.

"Are you having fun yet?" The imitation of her said.

It made her stomach sink.

"Who… Who are you?!" Vanessa asked.

"Vanessa, I'd like you to meet Vanny" Afton responded

"Greetings!"

Vanny said as she made a theatrical bow, giggling as she did so. Her tone was extremely cheerful, yet incredibly creepy at the same time.

"V-Vanny?..."

"The Bunny. Yes."

"H-Huh?!"

"Well, since you were unwilling to obey me, I had to take drastic measures. So, from now on, she's going to be the only one in charge of your body." Afton explained.

Vanessa tried to say something, anything. But she had no words. She was confused, sad, and terrified.

"What's wrong Vanessa? Rabbits got your tongue? HAHAHA!" Vanny joked.

Vanny taunted her cruelly. Naturally, having William's sociopathic tendencies, Vanny enjoyed making others suffer. But it wasn't personal.

Not yet at least…

…

Then, in the distance, there was an alarm ringing.

"Oh, too bad. Seems like I have to go now. It was nice meeting you, Vanessa!"

Vanny waved her goodbye

"See you soon…"

And so, with a glitch effect, she disappeared from the room leaving William and Vanessa alone.

"…"

Everything went quiet. William stared at Vanessa, who had fallen to her knees, and was looking down, horrified. She could feel a sinking dread throughout her body. She knew this was bad.

However, she had no idea of just how horrifying it would be to be under Vanny's control for the next 6 months…

"You know, Vanessa… You could still have some control over your body. All you have to do is obey me… Think about it."

And just like that, he disappeared too.

Vanessa was alone.

Terrified.

Depressed.

But despite all of that, she was NOT going to listen to him.

-x-x-x-

It was 11:00 p.m. at the Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex Office Building. Fazbear Entertainment had many small office buildings, where each one took care of a sector of the company. There was the Headquarters, where the big company decisions took place, the Beta-Testing building, where Vanessa worked, the Innovation building, where people came up with new ideas to keep the franchise afloat, and the Mega Pizzaplex Office building, where the executives monitored the Pizzaplex.

Mr. Burrows, the Boss of the Pizzaplex, was leaving the building after a long day of work. The Pizzaplex had been open for about 3 months now, and there were lots of tasks that he and his fellow executives had to take care of. Bills, contracts, promotions, updates…

Cutting corners…

Covering up things…

The streets were dark, and the darkness of the night surrounded Mr. Burrows, who was oblivious to Vanny's presence…

She was wearing a half mask that was Vanessa's first attempt at making the bunny costume. It wasn't a lot, but it was fine for now.

She also carried a big and sharp kitchen knife…

"So, has the building company been… You know…" He asked someone he was talking with on his phone. All the while Vanny stalked him from the shadows.

"Oh, good. That's a relief to hear. Thanks Hank, have a goodnight."

He hung up. All of his problems had finally been solved, he would finally be able to relax in his house! -

… A sharp pain through his chest stopped him right there. He turned around and saw a woman with blonde hair and a cheaply made bunny mask.

"HAHAHA!"

She cackled. Before he could say anything, Vanny cut his throat, so that he wouldn't scream, splashing her mask with blood. The blood dripped through his neck and her arm, causing Vanny to feel an adrenaline rush throughout her body.

She would have liked to give him a slower and more painful death, but William said that this was an ambush operation, and that she had to make things as quick and as cleanly as possible.

"Good job. Now, hide the body and stay the course."

"Yes Mr. Afton."

And so, one by one, all of the executives met their demise at the hands of Vanny that night…

After she made sure no one else was left in the building, she sneaked inside and entered Mr. Burrows office with his keys. There, went to his desk an opened his computer. It asked for a password, which Vanny didn't know. But she didn't need to. She simply plugged in a purple USB and the computer magically unblocked.

"Perfect. I'll take charge of things from here. Go back to the apartment and wait for instructions."

You may be wondering where the security guard in all of this was.

It's simple.

There was no security guard.

In an effort to appear "modern" and "futuristic", Fazbear Entertainment had decided to replace most of the security staff with "S.T.A.F.F Bots" that were set to roam throughout the building at night. Surely spamming STAFF Bots that mindlessly roam everywhere would work just as well as having a human security guard, right?

…

Security job request accepted!

…

"W-What?! Security guard? At the Pizzaplex?!"

Luis asked Sarah, completely in disbelief.

"I'm afraid so."

She answered in a sad tone.

"But… Why?"

"I don't know… Why don't you go and ask her?"

Luis, filled with confusion and sadness, went to Vanessa's desk, where Vanny was packing all of her things.

"Hello Vanessa…"

"Oh, hey. It's you again."

Vanny answered apathetically.

"Yeah, haha… Um, I see you are going to be transferred to a security job at the Pizzaplex…"

"Indeed."

"Well, it'll be sad seeing you go…"

He said with a shaky voice.

"It's not a big deal. Stop being so dramatic."

"…"

"Now if you excuse me, I have to get out of here."

And just like that, she left the office, leaving Luis wondering what had happened to Vanessa. Why did she change so suddenly? Was it something he said? No… It was something else… And he needed to help her.

Before Vanny exited the building, Luis came running behind her.

"Vanessa! Vanessa, wait!"

Vanny rolled her eyes and turned around to see Luis.

"What is it now?"

"Look. I don't know what's happening. I don't know why it's happening, but I know there's something wrong! I-I… I don't know what it is… But I want to help you! But I can't do anything if you don't tell me!"

Vanny looked at Luis with a frown. Why couldn't he leave her alone? Some people around the building had stopped to watch the scene unfold.

Then he grabbed her hand softly…

"Please… Vanessa… I-I… I lo-"

"Listen here, Luis. I don't NEED your help. I don't WANT your help, so make me a favor and leave me alone!"

Vanny coldly said to Luis, and continued her way, leaving him completely heartbroken and with teary eyes…

And for the next 6 months, Luis would know nothing about Vanessa…

Because Vanny was in control now…
