Sparkle Like a Superstar

Chapter 27

Saphira stared at the floor as the staff bots cleaned up the foam and remains of the doll. Monty was sitting on his couch again, watching Saphira as she remained where she was. He could see she was still shaking, he did not know if she would make a move or not. He already relayed what has happened to Freddy and Roxy so they know why Saphira was not already at their windows to speak to them.

"Super star..." Freddy's gentle voice spoke through the Fazwatch. "Monty just told me what has happened. Do you want to come into my room for a little while? I know you should continue your job, but it sounded awful on what just happened. I am really sorry. I hope no more clowns are left around the place."

Saphira turned on her flashlight to aimed the light above the rooms to see if anything else was there. She noticed above Monty's window there were some ropes that must have held the doll on the wall. But they had conveniently snapped by the looks of it. She finally made a move, she shakily walked towards Roxy's room, she hesitated to go right up to the window as she looked above Roxy's window. There was nothing that she could see, but she was still nervous.

"Girl, you look horrible." She blinked and looked at Roxy, the bot was looking at her with a worried expression and had placed her hands on her hips. "Your skin...it looks different. Are you okay?" Roxy paused and blinked for a second. "Okay, that was a stupid question, wasn't it? Sorry. You don't look okay Saphira. You need to put some makeup on or something."

"I...I'll be...fine..." Saphira responded to Roxy nervously, glancing away from the bot towards Freddy's room. "S-S-Sorry..."

"It's wrong for you to apologize to me girl. At least you're not a wimp around us anymore. Still...clowns have not been a theme here, even though the daycare attendent is designed to be one...sort of, he's just got the costume anyway." Saphira did not respond. She tensed suddenly and grimaced, placing a hand on her stomach and clenching her eyes shut for a moment. Roxy frowns a little. "Kid? You okay?"

Saphira lifts a hand to her lips, her stomach was twisting and churning uncomfortably right now. She waved her hand in front of her face, shaking her head slightly to tell Roxy she was not okay. She wanted to get to Freddy, but she might not. She could see Freddy standing at his window, he was leaning slightly and watching her through the glass, he had a very worried expression on his face. Saphira gagged suddenly and realized she could not stay.

"Saphira?" Freddy's voice came through on the Fazwatch. "Do you need to go to a first aid station?"

Saphira wanted to say yes, but she stepped back a few steps before she turned and bolted out of Rockstar Row. There was no bathroom in the hallway, so she had to run back into the atrium to the bathroom on the bottom floor. She burst through the door of the toilet and ran to the first stall she saw. She scrunched her nose at the smell of cleaning chemical, making her stomach churn even more just as she felt to her knees in front of the toilet and heaved. She gripped the side of the porcelain and coughed, emptying her stomach contents into the bowl. She tasted the bitterness of the coffee coming back up and the rancid burning feeling in her throat. The coffee made the burning feeling worse. She jumped when she heard the sound of heavy feet running to the bathroom. She recognized Freddy's feet, she frowned as she did not want him to see her like this. And, he left his room!

"Saphira!" He entered the bathroom, stopping at the entrance and spotting Saphira on her knees in front of the toilet. "Are you okay?"

Saphira breathed deeply and grabbed the lid to close it quickly. "Please get out of here Freddy..." She swallowed and grimaced at the burning feeling in her throat. Her voice was raspy and she pulled herself up to sit on the lid. "You don't need to see me like this..."

The animatronic could see Saphira's skin was pale, he has seen human skin changed colour before and he knew when it was pale, it was not a good sign. The layer of sweat on her skin made strands of her hair cling to her skin and Freddy slowly approached her, making Saphira jump and glance up at him with a frown. Tears stained her cheeks from the strain of heaving.
