Wolf's Mate
We pulled into the empty parking lot of the pizzeria. No one was there, must have gone home since it was getting late. Aaron, Eric and I walk up to the door, and I see inside piles of wood, holes in the walls, exposing the buildings skeleton and it's wires. There looked to be skapeholding in the dining area, meaning they were taking down the lights and or moving them to make room for a second or bigger stage. I unlocked the door, allowing us entrance to the place. I shivered slightly for the place just seemed darker, more hauntingly empty without it's resadents here within it's walls.
"Damn this place is scary. You once said there were ghost kids Rose?" Aaron asked. "There was but I helped them move on. There is going to be a new one coming with the toys but from what Goldie said, it's just one kid this time. Less power means less control to affect the group, just the toys." I said, walking to Matt's office. "Rose...I know this is not the time but what did Dracoessa mean by the iron need?" Eric asked the question I want to avoid. I wanted to not tell them at all, to save face in front of them but then I thought that if I didn't then it would show they were not truly friends to me. That I kept something this importent to my health hidden. Sure I can argue that no one but doctors and my parents know but they may not see it that way.
I stand in front of Matt's door, ready to test the knob but couldn't move an inch. Not after hearing that question. "Rose? Girl?" Aaron called to me, hearing the worry in his tone, his voice. "Look Rose you don't have to tell us. I was just curious. If this is a sencetive topic-" Eric started but I cut in. "It is. I don't want to talk about it but I know I somepoint I have to. I fear telling you for it may change how you see me but I don't, it still will. I'm depating on it. So please wait for me to figure it out in my mind. You both are still my friends throu and throu. I don't want to lose you or the gang." I said, not turning to face them as I say all this.
Holding back all that I feel in my chest to the slight sting in my eye, letting me know tears are there. I hear them walk up to me and wrapped their arms around me. "It's ok girl, we'll wait for the answers. Your blood is different from us so things with it are complex. We just want to make sure you are ok." Aaron said while I return the embrace. "Thank you. I just hope to make it throu winter this year." I said with a sigh, letting go of them and turning the knob, finding the door was unlocked. "Yeah, the gang doesn't know you grow a winter coat in the fall/winter times do they? Don't you also go into heat for like a day?" Eric asked as we walk in. "Yes and yes. I just know they are going to joke about how hairy I'm going to get. Also I do go into heat but I usually workout, take cold showers, read, all things to just distract myself." I said, look through some of the files Matt had out on his desk.
I must have said that with an unknown tone that for both Aaron and Eric, look at me concerned and confused. I can tell why they are concerned. I almost ALWAYS hated myself during the fall and winter times of every year. I'm always LESS human, MORE animal due to the hair, the extra kick in hormones during my heat never helps, the need to feast on un-cooked meat for the blood in it for the iron. The need to hunt, hybernate, almost irritated all the time for not being able to fill my gut with food like any animal would do before going to sleep for a few months or so. Overall I hate the person I become durning those times. The wolf comes out and Rose hides away so the beast can be free.
A beast that if seen doing bad will be hated and unloved.
A beast that can never be loved for people will fear it harming them.
I always hated that part, this part of me for I always try to hide it from prying eyes. Hell all this is connected to the iron need. Lack of iron does equal minor to mayjor health problems but also less control of one's self. So a slight scent of blood of any kind my set us off to find and devor it. I lower the files I'm holding and just stare at them. Thinking about Chica, love of my life. A reason, possably the only one, I dated Lusy before was because she seemed to understand my mannerisums and accept them but that was all a lie. She saw only the person and the wolf as two different beings. Not one whole, like Chica seems to see.
I want to test her, to see what she would do after seeing the hidden side of me after seeing the human me. But I'm scared, scared that she will see me like almost any older generation then my parents see me. 'Will she see me as two different or whole? Maybe even change my view of myself?' I thought to myself. I stayed like this until I was pulled from my head but Aaron and Eric calling out to me, while hitting me in the head with a folder. I growl at them, with a glare, as they look at me concerned. "Rose. You ok? You just sort of spaced out and had this angery then sad look on you face. Does this have to do with?" Aaron trailed off for me to finish the sentance.
"I"m sorry guys. After Dracoessa made that request and everything going on and that time of year again coming. It's just...building up on me...I'm bit stressed." I said with a weak tone, wanting to curl up in a ball. "Rose, it's all going to be ok. You have us, your parents, teachers at school, Matt, and the gang! Hell maybe even the toys, Dracoessa and the animatronics you are looking for! We are all by your side you are at ours." Eric declared.
"He's right Rose. You don't know the full extent of what the gang has been through, you have no clue about the toys but are already planing of figuring out ways to help them and by extention the gang. You are even going out your way based on a dream for christ's sake to find more animatroics and HELP them!" Aaron said before Eric stepped back in.
"You don't know the toys or the animatroincs from your dream but you are going out your way to try and help them. Hell you've been a huge help to Freddy and the others by just being there, being an ear for them to vent to. You are helpping everyone from this fucked up company by just bringing them all together so they can have more people like them who gone through the same or close to the same problems."
"That's right Rose. The Fazbear's are greatful to have you. To have you back with them as a family. To have you as someone they can talk to out of their group. They love you like you love them, with the exception of Chica but they care. They are going to be by your side. Don't let the negative get to you and be strong for if not yourself then for them. Get the negative out of your head Rose. We're hear to listen when you are ready to talk." Aaron said to me in his comforting tone of voice. A voice he rarly let's out but when he does, he shows he cares. I started to tear up at their speech and just broke down sobbing.
I told them everything from the true facts of the iron need, to how I felt about my nickname Wolf, to how I felt about myself durning the winter time. They stayed there, listening to me speak, rubbing my back, holding me, whispering to me, that everything was alright, just comforting me. Once I calmed down, they stayed there holding me. I lifted my head up to look at them and all I see was looks of love, friendship and support. I smile, feeling a wieght finally fell away from my chest, making me feel that I can take on the world and all that it will throw at me.
The same feeling I get when around Chica. I look down to my knees, blushing at the thought of my favorite animatoinc. I felt that when the time comes and I tell her the truths about me, I'll be met with the same look but hopfully with love of romance. "Aww is little Wolfy thinking about her little chicky wicky?" Aaron babied at me, pinching my cheeks. I laugh and swat his hand way, before doing the same with Eric when he started. "Quit it guys. Leave me be." "Nah ah girl. Not after the roller coaster. Nah we are here to stay." Eric said as he and Aaron wrapped their arms around me and kissed me on the cheeks. "Gah! Ah! Hey gross! Bleh. Boy kisses." I said making us all laugh in synch.
We stop when we hear someone clearing their throut. In all that was going on, I failed to notice Detective McBride standing a few feet from at a the door, watching us with an amused smile. "What are all you doing here? Cross, I know you work here but what of them. All three of you are not allowed here during construction." she said as we all got up. "Ma'am please let us explain." Aaron started before she cuts in. "I'm sorry but you three are tresspassing. Since Rose, you are an employee here, you are free to go with a warning but you two." She gestured to my friends. "Are coming with me."
"Wait Mcbride. Please don't. I brought them and let them in. Reason why and I know you will think this is crazy but I had a sort of dream." I went to explain it to her and she seemed to have understood my intentions. "I see. Heart of gold Rose. Alright, Collins and Petterson, you both are off the hook and the diner I remember it being about 50 so minutes from here." She gave us the directions, causing all of us to be surprised by how close the place seemed to be. "Thank you Mcbride. Thank you for believeing me, helpping us out, my stalker case, everything. Thank you."
"You're welcome Cross. Now go get yourself cleaned up and all of you head home. Cross, I'll try to get you updated as much as I can on your case." She said before leaving. I ran to the bathroom while Aaron and Eric waited by the door. I faintly heard them talking about what happened in the office before Mcbride came which is fine. They are still free to call me Wolf since I know they would never mean it in any other way then with love and enderment.
I washed my face and after I was done drying my face, I saw in the worped metal reflection of the dispenser was that someone or something was behind me. I turned around and of course saw nothing. I didn't smell or hear anything other then the normal scents of the place, my friends and them talking. 'Trick of the mind after my brain going super nova?' I thought as I left the bathroom.
(A/N: Wow, during that moment between Rose, Aaron and Eric, I will admit, a few tears fell from my eyes while typing it. Tell me your thoughts on this development with Rose? Did you shed a few tears or are you heartless like the actual heartless from Kingdom Hearts? Anyway, hoped you enjoyed. Sage out~)
