Sparkle Like a Superstar

Chapter 67

5 Days Later...

Saphira had mostly recovered after two days from the incident. She managed to fix Mr Hippo's stomach hatch, and do some other maintenance on Orville, Chica and Roxy during this time. She was really glad she was able to do that because she worried that the animatronics would be in poor condition while she was down. That did not happen, thankfully. She remained in the pizzaplex even though she was able to drive safely after day three, however she refused. Her fear of not being with Freddy changed each day. It seemed somedays it was worse, others it was neutral and they only had one day where she was mostly okay without his presence. It worried Darren and the animatronics. Especially when she was nearly caught sitting in Freddy's room during the day. Darren definitely concluded it was whatever was injected into her that was making her brain react that way. It has manipulated Saphira into believing he will disappear when she wasn't looking, and that was not healthy.

Darren did buy her a couple pregnancy tests as she requested in case she could be. Both came back negative, and she was relieved by that. However, no one knew what was injected into her. Especially as she was certain the needle either penetrated her womb, or even her ovary, that was how far it felt within her when she looked back. The wound of the injection site itself was healed, but the pain came back occasionally and Saphira hated it. She did try to ask Darren if he knew what this was, and he sincerely responded that he did not know. She wanted to believe him, but she also knew he would be punished if he told her something he shouldn't. Her distrust of Mr Miller only grew.

And tonight, was the night they would officially meet Vanessa. Saphira was not looking forward to that at all. She had been paranoid about this woman showing up, she watched the cameras to see when she would arrive as Saphira expected to see the woman walk through the door. Although, Saphira didn't know what she even looked like. And that bothered her. Tonight, she was more concerned about Vanessa than not being with Freddy, which the animatronic was relieved as her insistance of being with him all the time was exhausting. He knew it wasn't genuine, if she genuinely wanted to be with him all the time he would feel it. But it was the fear and manipulation from the injection that creating this personality in her.

"Evening Saphira," Darren spoke through the Fazwatch as she stared intently at the monitors. "Can you come down to the lobby? I would like to introduce you to Vanessa."

Saphira frowned a little as she looked at the camera view of the lobby. "I don't see you in the lobby, where are you right now?"

"In my office, we are heading to the lobby now." Saphira didn't even see Darren at all, this was so strange! "I figured you would want to show Vanessa the ropes...or at least, a little bit so she knows what her duties are as a night guard."

Saphira grumbled a little before responding. "Very well. It is just strange I did not see you greet her in the lobby. You'll have to explain that one to me."

Darren did not respond as Saphira fixed her hair and outfit before walking to the elevator to go down to the hallway to the atrium. She was not looking forward to it, but she would remain professional because if Vanessa has direct contact with Mr Miller, it did mean she had to be careful with what she did and said around her. Being professional was as far as Saphira would go. She had no intention of being friendly to the woman.

She walked through the atrium to the elevators and hummed the theme song as she stood in the elevator, tapping her foot impatiently as she waited to get to the lobby. Once the doors open, she stepped out onto the lobby and walked to the railing to look down. She spotted Darren wearing a lavender suit with a black tie, he was speaking with a woman who had blonde hair tied into a ponytail by the golden Freddy statue. Saphira huffed a little and made her way down the stairs to greet them.
