Wolf's Mate
Rose's POV
After school I drove to Freddy's since Damin wanted to meet there, not sure why he wanted to meet there but hey I was not going to question it. Once there I parked next to his car and got out to meet him. "Hey Damin, thanks for meet up with me. I was kind of hoping you can help me with something." "Of course, Rose and uh who is the young boy with you?" "Oh, good you can see him too, makes it easier to tell you what I need help with," I said as I took out the metal head from the trunk and held it up for him.
He looked surprised by the head as he came closer to examine it in detail, "Fascinating. Where did you find this piece of machinery?" "At the old Fazbear restaurant. The boy you see with me is a ghost from said place. One of the victims of Afton. I was hoping you can maybe make a body and study this thing see what you can find. There were more parts at the restaurant but…they were rusted or broken that I wasn't sure if you could fix or use them," I explained as he stood up and look at me then at the boy then back at me.
"I see and why are searching for that cursed history?" "It's been years, it's time for the victims to move on and for those who are hunted by them to be free as well. The toys have ghosts too and to help them, I need you to keep Mangle 'out of order' as long as you can." He looked at me with confused concern. "I made a deal where we just skip to the sixth night. The hardest night and where the ghosts try their absolute best to kill me. With Mangle out of the way, I more or less have an easy win that night. Plus, with me going to another place related to Afton, I may be able to find something to help you fix the toys, mainly mangle or others you can put back together," I exclaimed to the almost full lion man.
"I don't know wolf; all this is dangerous but I'll help out with this young man here." He looks to the ghost boy who has been in silent awe of the grown bipedal lion in front of him. "Hello there, I'm Damin, also known as Draga." The boy waved to the lion man in front of him. "So Draga can you try to keep Mangle out of order, out of the restaurant?" "I can try to do so but not sure if I can do so" "I'm sure you can. There is nothing binding them to the place so you can take her out for that one night. Just do it before midnight and keep her at your place or at the storage till 6." "Alright I can do that before the pizzeria opens back up in the morning it's down renovating," he said with a shrug.
"Awesome, thanks for this Draga, I appreciate the help. The more I can do to increase my chances to live the better. And Mangle is the more major player in their game," I said. We talked a bit more before we went our separate ways and the ghost boy went with Draga and I went home. Once there I was greeted by Chica first then the rest of the Fazbear gang, "How was school Rose?" Chica asked as I walked up the stairs to head to my room. "It was good, Eric and Aaron being the goofy guys they are and a small hiccup with my ex but thankfully they didn't bother me again for the rest of the day."
I heard a small growl behind me and I had to hold in a chuckle knowing that Chica is upset about me mentioning my ex. The rest of the day went by smoothly as I chatted with the group and helped out with my family to make dinner and soon it was near the dead of night and everyone but me was asleep. Chica was sound asleep curled up next to me and like the night before, I carefully got out bed, got ready and sneaked out the house and went straight to the address of Circus baby world.
'I've never heard of this place before but then again this town has some skeletons hiding in the oddest of places,' I thought to myself as I wonder what was in store for us at this place. Both the boys and I pulled up to the address at the same time and what we saw was strange yet underwhelming to say the least. "A house? I was expecting like a warehouse or another restaurant, not someone's abandoned house," Eric mildly complained. "How much you both want to bet it's either in the garage or may be a basement workshop that never made it off the ground before he had to close it?" Aaron said with a chuckle.
"So, we are assuming this is Afton's house?" I asked, "it has to be otherwise why named the company that made circus baby after himself?" Aaron countered and I just shrugged since I had nothing to counter to that since it's not uncommon for start ups to literally start up in your own home in the garage or basement workshop. While we talked Eric went ahead of us to search of an opening or at least make one for us. "Wolf! Get your fluffy tail over here and help me tear some of these boards off this window!" he called out as he struggled with a board.
"I am more than just the brawn scrawny boy," I joked as I walked over with Aaron to help him out with the boards. Once in we all saw the amount of dust, covered, missing or broken furniture scattered in what looked to be the living room, through an open doorway looked to be a kitchen/dining room combo, next to it was a cracked open door, a hallway leading to more rooms maybe from what we saw in front of us. We all split up, I went to the garage, Aaron went to the slightly open door and Eric went down the hall, all of us to search for any and all clues. In the garage it was standard size for a car or two, a desk with tools scattered on and around it, shelves filled with animatronic parts from arms, hands, legs, feet, and the heads.
It was a bit unnerving to have the eyes that were in the heads staring straight ahead at me. 'I know these are not alive but god that is creepy. Almost like they are watching my every move,' I thought to myself as I slowly walked closer to the desk, keeping my eyes on the parts, ready for a jump scare that I know will never come. 'It's one thing when the group does it, they are ALIVE, these are the dead stare they were suppose to have before they were made what they are now.' Once at the desk, I look down and see 3 little holes in the ground in such away that suggested that something was kept here long enough to leave said holes. 'A tripod maybe or maybe he just accidently drilled into the ground? But this is cement,' I thought as I looked to the desk.
I saw these weird, small little disks in the center and went to pick one up, as I turned it over in my flashlight to get a better look at it, "GGGGAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" At least I felt myself yelling as I covered my wolf ears from the ringing, God that ringing. It was almost like this god damn dog whistles but worse. My eyes were screwed shut, I felt my tail bristle, the hair standing on end, my body tense as an anger just boiled inside me, I felt growls ripping away at my throat before my eyes shoot open.
I grabbed the nearest hammer or blunt object and I just swung it down again and again at the little disk that I thought was causing the ringing. And I was right, with each hit, the ringing grew quiet till it stopped with the disk was no more then tinier pieces of itself. There was still ringing in my ears but now it was starting to go away. I panted as the anger subsided and I tossed the tool back onto the desk. I looked around and saw the boys, staring at me with awe and hints of fright from the doorway.
'Fuck that is not what I want,' I thought but a couldn't blame them. I would be possibly scared of what I might saw, a 6ft tall wolf girl just for no reason yelling out in pain before snapping with anger and breaking something with a blunt object. "…Rose? You ok man?" Aaron asked as they slowly came over. "Yeah, sorry you had to see that guys but I had to stop that ringing. It was these little disks; I think that made it." I picked up my flashlight and showed them the small pile of this damn disks. "Not sure what they were for other then maybe annoy the neighborhood pets."
"I think I do," Eric stepped forward, reaching for the pile but stops short of touching them. "While we didn't hear this ringing, we did see these parts on the shelf here," he gestures to said parts, "turn and look like human body parts." "So, Afton somehow made some serious enough tech to distort an animatronics' appearance to be that of a normal person. Child killer or not that's somehow genius to have made but still dangerous since who knows how he really used these things," I said as we left the garage.
"So, what did you all find before coming to help me?" "Blueprints of more animatronics. A gator, more freddys, another chica, more bonnies, a hippo to name a few. Didn't find more before hearing you yelling," Aaron said as we all stood in the living room. "kids' rooms, not much else from that, but from the looked of it, Afton had 3 kids, a teen and 2 young kids, boy and girl," Eric said. "I wonder what happened to the kids. Did they move? Die? Change their names?" I asked but the guys shrugged. "Well, we didn't see a hatch for a basement in the garage so…" We look to the kitchen and went into the room, it looked nice enough and of course as suspected we saw a door that can lead to the aforementioned basement.
I took lead and opened the door and went downstairs, careful as I go since I did not like the creak in these steps. In the basement, we found little to nothing other than boxes of either cardboard or plastic. We searched the boxes and didn't find anything useful till, "Hey guys I feel a draft right here," Eric said from the far wall. We felt against the wall till one of us hit a switch or something that made a door, an elevator door appear before us.
'I know this elevator. It was from that dream, this is the elevator leading to Circus baby,' I thought as we caution our way on the elevator which closed as soon as we were on. This freaked us out since this was our only way out and it was now heading down into the depths to where the other animatronics are.
It played out almost like my dream, as the handunit appeared, "Welcome to the first day of your exciting new career! Whether you were approached at a job fair, read our ad at Screws, Bolts, and Hairpins, or if this is the result of a dare, we welcome you. I will be your personal guide to help you get started. I'm a model 5 of the Handyman's Robotics and Unit-Repair System, but you can call me Hand-Unit. Your new career promises challenge, intrigue and endless janitorial opportunities." "What the hell? How the fuck is this all still running?" Aaron exclaimed in confusion, "Please enter your name as seen above the keypad. This cannot be changed later so please be careful." Eric tried to put in the name Mike but like I thought, it didn't work the handunit is not working properly.
"It seems that you had some trouble with the keypad. I see what you were trying to type, and I will auto-correct it for you. One moment. Welcome: Eggs Benedict" it said as we continued what was hopefully not our one-way ticket down.
