Chapter 14

 When we heard the scream we all jumped out of the way of a falling puppet. Mari. Shit.

 "Somebody find the music box!" I called, knowing it was the only way to escape Mari. As soon as his music box was playing he would fall asleep, but until then we were screwed. 

 "It sounded like it was coming from this way!" Dean called from the other side of the mound of puppet that was starting to stand back up. 

 "Dean, try and find it, Anakin help him. The rest of us will keep it occupied" I called passed. The two boys nodded and ran off. Mari was now fully standing and was looking around at who was left. Me, Merry, Pippin, George, and Loki. We chanted, calling it names, whenever it was about to jump one of us another one would chant and shout. Mari was getting really confused. Anakin and Dean ran back over, the music box clutched in Anakin's hands. 

 "We have it! What do we do now?" Anakin asked. Mari turned to him and saw his precious box clutched in his hands. 

 "My-My music b-box! gi-ive it ba-a-ack to me N-NOW!" Mari called"Anakin wind it, quickly!" I called, but it was too late, and Mari jumped. He threw the box over him and I caught it and started to wind it. "So-o sle-e-e-e-eepy" Mari said and fell to the floor asleep. I ran over to Anakin who was still lying on the floor. 

 "Anakin!" I said shaking him. I could see a grin form on his lips. "You son of a bitch! Now is not the time to do that! You could have been seriously injured" I smacked his chest and he started to laugh. 

 "Aw come on, you know you love me" He was joking like friends do, but he didn't know that I actually did. 

 "Nope, you are to mean" I grinned and looked away. This moment was a relief during this whole thing. 

 "Don't worry. I know you are lying" Anakin added and stood up. He extended his hand to help me up. I took it with an eye roll. I could hear the footsteps of multiple animatronics. 

 "We should head out now. I suggest the back door" I said pushing them in that general direction. 

 "Good plan. I second that" George said. We all bolted outside and ducked down behind the walls. 

 "Th-they are ar-r-round here-here somewhere-where" Bonnie hissed. He was right above the section of glass that they were under. If he were to look down he would see them.

 "Bo-onnie, I thi-ink yer mind has go-one a bi-it insane" Foxy had a broken metalic laugh that would have chilled anyones bones. 

 "Fo-oxy, you ha-ave no roo-oom to spe-eak" Just by his voice you could tell Bonnie was glaring daggers at Foxy. 

 "Le-ets go-o look so-omewh-ere else" Foxy suggested. "The Lass-ass clear-early isn't he-ere" 

 "Fi-ine" Bonnie said. After a few minutes their distant boots were gone. We stayed like that for another minute or so to make sure they were definitely gone. Dean took a chance to glance in through the window but they were gone.  

 "Okay, you guys can come out. They aren't here" Dean said and he stood up fully. "Also, who has the music box?" Dean asked. 

 We all looked around at each other and realized that none of us had it. Inside it was sitting on the table. Pippin ran to the door and went to open it but it was locked from the inside. One way lock, or they had known the whole time. 

 "If we don't get in there soon then that music box is going to end and the thing is going to be after us again." Loki pointed out. 

 "We need to get in there if we are going to rewind it" Merry said.

 "But how? The door is locked from the inside" Pippin reminded us. 

 "We could break the glass" George suggested. 

"I'll do it" Anakin said. He pulled out his lightsaber and was about to cut into the glass. 

 "Wait. I've always wanted to try something" I said putting my hand in front of him. he stopped. 

 "Be my guest" he said and motioned to the window. 

 I took a few steps back for a running start and ran straight at the window. I had seen this done many times in movies and although I knew movies weren't real I really wanted to try this. I jumped and felt the window shatter around me. Fortunately nothing was cut in the process. I stuck the landing. When I went to run forward to grab the music box I stepped on a piece of glass and slipped. I stuck my hand down to break my fall except it landed on a sharp piece of glass. I screamed out in pain and pulled my hand back from the ground. The glass had managed to embed itself into my palm, creating a decent sized gash that was bleeding profusely. The others climbed through the window. Loki ran over to grab the music box. Merry and Pippin stood watch to see if my scream had called any unwanted visitors, Anakin, Dean and George came to my aid. Anakin and Dean lifted me off the ground and placed me off my feet. 

 "I'm fine" I insist, but I could feel the tears welling in my eyes. I blinked to prevent them but it only made it worse. This hurt a lot and the amount of blood that was coming from it kinda scared me.

 "Grace this is going to hurt a lot" Dean said in a comforting voice. Although his words weren't. He grabbed the piece of glass that stuck out and pulled it out of my hand. I screamed again because of the pain. I couldn't take it anymore and I let out the tears. The piece of glass was about the size of my hand to be fair. 

 "Grace I need you to trust me and no matter what do not pull your hand back" Anakin told me. I nodded but I was confused and concerned. He pulled out his lightsaber and placed the tip of the blade to my palm, running it along the cut. It hurt like hell but I did as I was told and I trusted him. When he was done I pulled my hand back. He had cauterized the cut for me so it was no longer bleeding. 

 "Thanks" I smiled at him. 

 "No problem. I figured those animatronics freaked would be able to follow the blood so it was best to stop it" He tore off the bottom of his shirt and wrapped it around my hand, tying a knot in the back.

 "No really, thank you. For everything" I smiled. 

 "I'll give you two a moment" Dean said and walked away awkwardly, pulling George along with him. 

 "Grace what are you talking about?" Anakin asked giving me a confused look. 

 "I, um... there is no easy way to say this so I guess I'll be straight forward. Since I first walked into you on the second or third day of school I have these feelings. At first I thought it was friendship. You were always there for me. Helping me through all of the stuff that had happened to me with Gabriel, and you have helped out so much with Sarah. Whenever she hears that you are coming over her face lights up and she can't wait to see you. Anakin, you have changed my for the better and, I really like you, more than a friend" I hadn't realized I had looked down at the ground while I was speaking. I didn't realize it until Anakin placed his hand under my chin and lifted my head. The next thing I knew Anakin lips pressed down onto mine. I was shocked but I kissed back. Thus certainly wasn't my first kiss. 

 "Why do you think I came over so often? I liked you a lot Grace, I just thought you didn't like me" Anakin explained. 

 "Sorry to break up this lovely make out session, but we should really be going. The animatronics could arrive at any minutes" Dean said walking over. 

 "Of course. We should head for the library. The shelves would make a good place to hide behind" George suggested. 

 "But not to get out of. If they find us we will have our backs to the wall" I add. 

 "Its a chance i'm willing to take" Loki adds, still winding the music box. 

 "I think we should split up. Sure we are stronger in numbers but we are easier to find. Two groups of two and a group of three" I instructed. 

Merry and Pippin were clearly a group of two. George and Loki also seemed willing to team up. Which just left me, Dean, and Anakin. The two people who I wouldn't want to lose. 

 "No one tell the other groups where you are going. If they find us and want information on where everyone else is we won't be able to tell them, so they may be able to last longer" Dean told everyone before our three groups left the cafeteria.
