Goldie's Virginia or Bust

Chapter 1:

Thirty years.

It's been thirty long years since the events that shaped his current situation began. 

At the time he was nothing more than a machine with very basic AI, but that all changed with the deaths of so many people. Two in of which had the most effect on him.

First was a boy.

He was shy but sweet. He still can hear the loud crunch of the poor boys skull radiating in his head. He didn't mean to hurt him. 

It wasn't something he wanted at all.

Thankfully the boy forgave  him. 

He was his friend after all.

The second was a girl. 

Cass as she liked to be called.

She was tragically killed by one of Freadbear's own creators. Her fragile body hidden within him. Her rage moved him even though he lacked an endo skeleton. Thanks to her he wasn't stuck in one place but it was by her will that he moved.

Those two souls changed him. They made it so he could feel the world around him and through their memories he gained understanding and empathy. It wasn't hard for him to care about them he was literally made to bring joy to children. His own metaphorical heart filled with compassion for their situation and he gladly allowed them to use his body to seek their vengeance. 

But now they're gone.

He has no idea of how or why they left but they did and now he like his fellow animatronics are free. This would be great news if it wasn't for the fact that he and his friends were about to be scraped.

After years of bad publicity and tragic events the old pizzeria could no longer remain open. The rumors of him and his friends attacking people wasn't exactly working in their favor either. The company had no choice but to destroy the lot of them. 

It didn't take long for he and the others to decide too escape. 

After making some minor preparations they all broke away from the old pizzeria that was both their prison and home and went their separate ways. One animatronic was already going to stand out a group of them would be a surefire way to get caught and scraped. It was hard to say goodbye. They are like a family in a way. There's no doubt they would all will miss each other but they all must go their separate ways. 

Freadbear would surely be tearing up if he could as he walked away from the pizzeria. The pizzeria and his friends were his whole life till now. 

With one last glance at his old life he  tiped his old tophat in respect and turned to walk away.

After walking for some time. Mostly trying to work through his emotions Freadbear came to a realization he was free he could now move on his own. Thanks to his friends taking the time to get him an endo skeleton before they left. Even at expense of repairing themselves. They went out their way to help him and he would be forever grateful. But the point is he can move on his own. He could go anywhere. The realization of this new found freedom gave a buzz of excitement he hadn't felt in years.

But where would he go? There are so many places in the world and he didn't exactly have a form of transportation other then walking. As he pondered where, a memory left over from the the kids that possessed him flashed in his head.

"OK here we go!"

A soft thud was heard and the sight of of a dart hitting an old map laid before him. A fuzzy recollection of a man walked over to the map secured firmly to a cork board on the wall. He swiftly removes the dart and turns to face him. I guess fate decided on Virginia. With the man's smile the memory fades.
