In The Box (Jeremy X Marionette FNAF Fan Fiction)

Chapter Five

Marionette's POV

My lid closes softly and I lean back against the wall of my box. I really wanted to go with Jeremy, but I'm afraid that'll scare him off. My mind wanders to what the old animatronics had said. If I let poor Jeremy get attacked by that thing I could never forgive myself. Slowly a fog enshrouds my thoughts and I sleep. When I wake, I'm no longer in my box. I jerk awake and look around me I'm in a dark room and around me are the spare parts.
"You're finally awake," comes a deep voice from a dark corner. The figure of Shadow Freddy forms from the dark around me.
"What do you want?" I ask with a fake bravado.
He disappears and I hear from behind me, "I heard you've befriended a night guard." I spin around but he's not there and I feel a hand at my neck.
"You know this against the rules here," he says as I struggle for breath. The hand releases me and I fall to the ground, coughing violently.
"Gold will be very unhappy," he says and I shutter at the horrible name of all the souls tormentor.
"Please," I say, my voice raspy. "Don't tell him." I hear a sigh.
"He'll find out even if I don't tell him. Do you really want to prolong your night guard's agony?" He says and I sit up defiantly.
"I'll protect Jeremy from Gold!" I say and a laugh echoes around the room.
"I certainly hope you can," he says. "This'll be quite entertaining." His presence leaves and I crawl back to the prize room and then into my box.

Jeremy's POV

I throw myself onto my bed without changing. I can't believe it. To think that I'd become friends with one of them. I feel his arms around me still and smile. Wait. What?! I shake my head and try to clear my head of those types of thoughts. I mean, we can't be. Right? He's so different from the others though. He doesn't seem evil, instead he's kind and sweet and... Stop! (A/N: It's hammer time! Lol no but onwards!) I can't think of him like that. I flip over so I'm on my stomach and I rest my head in my arms. My cat, Lenny, jumps onto my back and starts kneading my back.
"Thanks Lenny," I say and he purrs in return. With the warmth of my cat and the relaxing feel of his paws, I soon fall into a dreamless sleep.
I'm woken up by a phone call. I stumble over to the receiver and pick up.
"Hello?" I say drowsily into the phone.
"Hey Jeremy, it's Mike," he says, and I internally groan.
"What do you want Mike?" I ask, thoroughly annoyed.
"I just wanted to say I'm sorry," he say and I roll my eyes. That's what he always says.
"Sure you are," I say.
"Please Jeremy," he says. "You know we're meant to be."
"You said that last time and look what happened," I say. I think about Marionette.
"Plus," I say. "I have someone else I like now."
"Really? Who?" He asks I pause.
"It's no one you'd know," I say.
"I can't believe you moved on so quickly," he says and I sigh angrily.
"It's been nearly three months Mike," I say. "We're over for good." I hung up quickly before he can say anything. The phone instantly rings, but I let it go to voice mail. He says that he still loves me and he'll wait until this new guy would break my heart. I leave the room and head back to my bed and lay down restlessly.
