A New Feeling

☆ Chapter 27 ☆

Freddy tiredly trecked to Bonnie's room again, wanting nothing more than to remove his shoulder pads and relax on the couch with him. When he went to knock on the door, he noticed it was unlocked. The doors were supposed to be locked after closing. Freddy stepped in and glanced around. To his surprise, the bunny was nowhere to be seen. He noticed his shoulder pads were still lazily thrown on the ground, as were his overall straps.

Bonnie had said he'd wait for him... and the bunny always kept his word. The bear made his way to the backdoor to check in his charging station. Once again, the bunny was not there. Freddy trudged back into his room, trying to think where else he could be right now. He supposed he could ask Chica, maybe they were together. As Freddy went to approach the door, he noticed a small dent in it that was not there before.

The bear knelt down to inspect it, now fully alert. There is no way a human would have survived a blow to a metal door like that. And considering there were no signs of blood, it had to be an animatronic. Bonnie.

Bonnie had dented the door, and now he was missing? Bonnie was never the violent type, even when he was angry, so it was unlikely Bonnie caused the dent himself. His eyes widened as the realization hit him.

Bonnie is hurt.

The bear started panicking before remembering they could call each other now. Freddy had tried calling the bunny twice, yet he would not pick up. He resorted to calling Chica.

"Hello?" She responded.

"Is Bonnie with you?!" Freddy immediately asked, panic clear in his tone.

"N-no...he's in his room?" She responded. The bear's whole body dropped in temperature, the familiar sense of fear washing over him.

"No, he's not! There's a dent in his door, and he's disappeared without a trace!" Freddy exclaimed.

"Oh my god! Have you called security?!" She asked urgently.

"N-no, I am going to call them now." He said.

"I will go and look around the place!" She claimed. Freddy hung up. He believed she could. She was the smartest of all of them and was good with directions. She already knew her way around the building very well. Freddy swiftly called security to warn them of the disappearance. The guard insisted they would check the cameras and handle it. Now, all Freddy could do was wait and worry.

Maybe it was the physical and emotional connection they had now, but Freddy could sense he was in danger. Not being able to do anything about it was killing him.

Bonnie suddenly powered on again and blinked open his eyes. He winced and patted the back of his head, where it hit the metal. To his relief, here was no dent, but a large crack on his plating. His endo head was also rattled severely, throwing his vision and thinking off. He sat up and glanced around frantically, noticing he was in some dark storage room.

"Hello, Bonnie." A feminine voice spoke up. Bonnie turned to the direction of the noise, and to his surprise, here was a woman in a stitched bunny suit starting back at him intently, her dark and narrowed red eyes glowing brightly in the shadows.

"Who a-are you?? Why am I here??" He stuttered out, trying to function again but struggling due to the head injury.

"You can call me Vanny, but I'm not the one who wanted to see you." She spoke calmly. Before Bonnie could ask, he noticed another pair of bright purple eyes further behind her, also watching him.

"So...my theory was correct." The deep voice spoke up. Bonnie squinted in confusion.

"I had thought I was just creating... things. But I had suspected for a while that there was more to you guys... now I have the proof I need." He continued.

"You guys are smarter than I realized. Especially you, Bonnie. You know things none of the others can even comprehend." He said.

Because of his malfunctioning mind, it took him slightly longer to process what the man had said. When he realized, he felt himself heat up in rage and forced himself to stand on wobbly feet.

"You! You're the one who did this!" The bunny snarled, storming over to the mysterious man. The bunny didn't reach far as he froze at the familiar feeling of a painful shock ringing through his body, forcing him to the ground again.

"You are smarter than I initially thought. I know you locked the springs on purpose...in an attempt to stop me." He pointed out. The bunny's ears lowered at the memory. He had felt so proud...he really thought he finished him off.

"W-why are you st-still here...? What do you want from-from me...?" He stuttered.

"Well. With how intelligent you are, on top of your machine strength, you would be a much needed ally for us." He insisted. The bunny shook his head, sitting up painfully again.

"I don't p-plan on helping any of you guys. E-e-especially not you, you mon-monster!" He insisted. The voice seemed unbothered.

"I had assumed you would resist. It is about time you remember who's in charge around here." The voice said. As if on command, the feminine bunny approached him quickly. Before he could speak, he felt her foot step onto the bottom of his arm, pressing all of her weight down. The bunny winced and tried pulling her off but had a hard time as he could not bring himself to hurt her.

Her foot had finally managed to break through the arm, snapping the endo under it. The bunny cried out and tried to take her off more forcefully, only for her foot to collide with his jaw, knocking it out of place. This caused the bunny's injured head to malfunction more, weakening him. The bunny stopped for a moment.

"Well?" She asked. When Bonnie didn't respond, she forced her fingers into the plating by his eyes and shoved his head onto the hard ground again. While he was recovering from the blow, she stepped over him and kicked his side painfully, causing him to whimper. She reached out and grabbed one of his ears forcefully and pulled it to come off, using a foot to step onto his chest and add more force. The ear was successfully ripped off and left to dangle on a few wires, causing the bunny to cry out only to be cut off again as she slammed his head onto the floor.

Her foot moved to his neck and hovered over it.

"If I break your neck, it will destroy your whole endo and render you useless." She smiled sadistically.

"Don't." the deep voice spoke up. Hearing the order, Vanny immediately stepped off him.

"Let him face me." He ordered. Vanny forcefully grabbed his face and held it to stare into the menacing purple eyes. The bunny let out a pained cry, no longer having the strength to fight back.

"That was only a taste of what we are capable of. Who is in charge around here?" He asked.

"Y-you..." The bunny trailed off, wincing again.

"So, if you do not want to comply, we could always bring Freddy in here...try the the same thing. Maybe he will be more obedient." Bonnie's eyes widened in horror.

"N-no, please! Please don't hurt him! Don't bring him into this!" He pleaded. The bunny began to sob.

"Please, please, I'll do anything! Please don't hurt him!" He cried.

So, the bunny had a weakness.

"Anything?" The voice asked.

"Even work for us?" He offered. More oil spilled from his eyes, dreading having to work for this man. But the more he thought about Freddy or Chica in this situation, the more heartbroken he became.

"F-fine...o-only if you p-promise...m-m-my friends s-stay out of it...especially Fre-Freddy..." He stuttered. When the voice only hummed, the bunny's crying worsened.

"Please, please don't hurt him..." His shaky voice trailed off, and his gaze met the ground.

"...you have my word. As long as you are obedient, we have no use for the others." He promised. The bunny relaxed slightly at that, trying to ignore the pain all over his body.

"Let him go." The voice said. Vanny forced him to his shaky feet and brought him to the door. When he was out, he was carelessly shoved to the ground on the other side of the door.

"Get back. It's been almost a day, the others will be looking." She said before closing the door. Bonnie lowered his gaze.

Had he been off that long?
