A New Feeling

☆ Chapter 20 ☆

Bonnie was awoken by tapping on his arm. When he turned, he was surprised to see it was Chica and not Freddy.

"What's up, lil' chick?" He asked. Chica groaned.

"I've told you to stop calling me that." She reprimanded.  Bonnie chuckled.

"Ok, ok...what's up, Chica?" He asked again. The bird glanced down timidly.

"I... wanted to go to the kitchen but I don't know where it is...and I don't want to walk alone in this new place. Can you come with me?" She inquired. Bonnie sighed but unlooped his guitar from his shoulder and set it down before gesturing for her to lead the way.

"After the way you treat me? Why am I even accompanying you?" He teased. Chica groaned.

"You're the bully! I just defend myself." She huffed. She had sauntered forward again, only to be cut off by a strong arm wrapping around her torso. Before she could protest, she was lifted off the ground and draped over Bonnie's shoulder.

"Bonnie! Let go, you idiot!" She complained, punching his back in retaliation.

"No, why would I? I'm just a bully." He retorted, a mischievous smile on his face. Chica huffed.

"Yeah, but you still need to put me down!" She snapped, flailing her legs hopelessly. Bonnie continued to walk forward as if nothing was happening.

"Are you deaf or something?! Let me go!" Chica complained. She felt her body flail again as Bonnie spun suddenly, glancing around in mock-offense.

"Hey! Who said that?! That wasn't very nice!" He whined sarcastically. Chica could barely contain her own giggling as she weakly punched at his shoulder again.

"Ok, ok! You're not a bully, so let me go!" She demanded. Finally, the bunny lowered her down carefully. As he walked forward again, she smacked him at the back of the head half-heartedly.

"You are so annoying -" she chuckled. The bunny shrugged.

"At least I'm interesting." He remarked. Both of them paused at the sound of something small falling over.

"What was that...?" Chica whispered. The bunny remained silent and listened in. When he heard it again, he stepped forward and protectively held Chica's upper arms, pulling her closer.

"What do you think it is??" She whispered.

"I don't know..." He muttered. Although he could not see the source of the noise, he was sensing a threat. Whether it was true or just the paranoia he's been feeling often now, he did not want to take any chances.

"Go back to the stage with Freddy. " Bonnie patted her back and guided her to face the door.

"But we were supposed to go to the kitchen! I was hungry -" she was interrupted by the sound of metal scraping against the wall. Bonnie's ears stuck up in alarm.

"I'll get food for you, but go back to the stage, now!" Bonnie whispered. Chica finally listened and jogged away. Once she was out of the room, the bunny glanced around cautiously again but was met with eerie silence. Bonnie only got a few steps in before the noise sounded again, followed by heavy metal steps.

Was this some new animatronic?! Why did they sound so big? Why weren't they talking??

The bunny panicked and decided to take his chance and sprint out of the room as fast as possible. This was, however, cut short at the sound of a glitched yell from the unknown animatronic. Thinking fast, Bonnie slid under one of the tables to hide, thanking his now smaller body. When he was securely under, he tried peeking out to see the perpetrator but could not see well in the dark. He felt something grab his arm and nearly screamed, but instead, spun around to the noise.
