Chapter 9

They set themselves up so that they were sitting across from each other at the coffee table. Alice had the lantern on her right, and a wad of tape on her left, "I think I've gotten all the tape!" She said, looking over Springtrap just in case there was more, "Oh wait, you have some on your nose." She paused nervously, "Would you like, bite me or something if I tried to grab it?"
Springtrap stared at her, looking annoyed, "What do you think I am? A dog?" He suddenly grinned, "Although, I'm definitely not above it. So, knowing that, if you aren't too worried about being bitten, you could go ahead and get that tape." He said ominously.
"Uh... Nope, I think I'm just gonna leave that piece of tape there. And the one that's on your ear as well." She said, trying to sound confident.
Springtrap stopped smiling, "What? I was just joking around, but clearly you are too dumb to understand that." He leaned forwards, glaring at her, "Get. The. Tape. Off." He commanded angrily. Alice was startled at his sudden switch to being angry, "What is your problem!? You need to calm down and quit being so mad!" She realized saying that may have been a mistake when Springtrap suddenly sat up straight, staring at her with even more anger than usual, "Don't tell me to calm down. Don't ever do that. I hate it. It won't end well." He growled.
Springtrap leaned forwards again, glaring at Alice. She backed up a little, "Ok, ok, I won't ask you to calm down. I-I'll get the tape for you." Springtrap didn't say anything as Alice leaned forwards to reach the tape. But, just before she could reach it, he suddenly grabbed her wrist, causing her to gasp. He stood up, yanking her with him and holding her up in the air by her arm, "Ah! Please stop! Please put me down!" Alice exclaimed.
Springtrap grinned at her, "Don't worry, I'm perfectly calm." His tone of voice was dangerous.
Luckily, at that moment the familiar sound of Mrs. Wilson approaching footsteps could be heard. Springtrap growled in frustration and dropped Alice. She yelped in pain as she landed hard on the coffee table below her. Mrs. Wilson's light shone into the room, "Is everything ok in here?" She called out.
Alice sat up and winced. Springtrap was glaring down at her threateningly, "Y-yeah, everything's fine." She managed to stutter.
Mrs.Wilson stared at her, "Are you sure? I thought I heard something fall." Her voice was filled with concern. Alice nodded, and painfully stumbled over to the door, spikes of pain shooting up her spine from her tail bone. She hoped it wasn't broken, "Did you bring lunch? I'm starving." She asked hopefully.
Mrs. Wilson nodded and passed through the lunch in a paper bag, still looking concerned, "It has a ham sandwich and a bottle of water. Nothing fancy, but that should tide you over until dinner, although we may bring snacks. Now really, are you sure everything is ok?" She looked over to where Springtrap was still standing near the coffee table, "Did you do something to her?"
Springtrap glared at her, "No." He said bluntly. Mrs. Wilson gave Alice one last concerned look, and then left her alone with Springtrap. Her only protection was the dim light of her tiny lantern.
