(Y/n)'s pov

Five tells the driver to go to Gimbel Brothers. It was some department store that I had never been to. When we pull up I offer the driver the 20 bucks I was gonna give to Klaus but he just tells us to have a great day so we jump out. We start towards the entrance.

"Five, o think we scared the absolute shit out of that guy. I mean he looked like he had seen his dead grandma or something." I laugh but he just ignores me. "Hello? Five?"
"Hmm?" He looks at me.
"You okay?"
"Yeah. Come on." He holds his hand out as we walk up to the doors and he blinks us in.

"Why are we here?" I try to look through the dark.
"You'll see." He looks around for a moment and then pulls out a flashlight. He starts walking through the aisles, pointing the flashlight at every mannequin we walk by. Why the fuck he looking at the mannequins? Bro is weird. He then stops in front of one display and smiles. He walks slowly to the middle mannequin and stops in front of her still smiling.

"Delores..." Oh. Her. I look around the mannequins but no one's there. I glance at Five and he stares straight at the mannequin. What. The. Fuck.
"It's so good to see you. I've missed you... obviously." Is he for real 'talking to a mannequin right now? I read his mind to make sure. Holy shit! He is! Okay, Five is crazier than u thought. Can't believe I felt like... that over a goddamn mannequin! Whatever.

"Well, I- it's been a rough couple of days. Oh yeah! That's Number Eight. Delores this is Eight. Eight this is Delores." I wave awkwardly at the thing. I hate her still even if she's a hunk of useless plastic.
"Yeah, she really is." He turns to me. I just stand there staring at the ground until I sense to people behind the plastic bitches.

"Five-"
"No!" He jumps and pushes me to the floor as they bring up guns and start shooting. We crawl into an aisle. One of them shoots 'Delores' causing her torso and bottom half to split and she falls to the floor. Ha, bitch. That's what you get.

"Oh, shit. It's them."
"Who?"
"Wait right here." Five then runs out.
"Five!" He watches him grab the piece of plastic and run back. He risked his life for her!? Oh my. I'm so done.
"I'll be right back for you." He says to her and then turns to me."Stay here, please. I'll be right back."
"Wait don't leave me here with... her." He runs off before I could finish. I look at her.
"I guess it's just me and you then, huh?

What am I doing? Your not even alive." What if I just leave her here? No. Five wouldn't. Oh my god. I can't believe I'm doing this. I grab a duffle bag off of a shelf and place her in it.

"You better be glad I love Five or id leave your ass here." I then look around and see Five running back.
"Delores!?" He looks around frantically
"I got her." I motion to the bag and he calms down.
"Thank you." I roll my eyes.

He grabs my hand and we start running. I see his hands glow blue but nothing happens. "Shit! Come on!" He tries again but it happens again. He then drags me along again until we're at a dead end.

"Shit." I whisper
"Got him!" The person in the pink dig mask says. Soon sirens are heard and the two shooters turn to the sound. I yank Five behind a cash register before they turn back around. I hear them conversate for a second before their presence disappears. I let out a sigh of relief before turning to Five. I instantly turn pink when I notice myself straddling him, again.

"Shit! I'm sorry!" I jump off of him before standing up offering him a hand and he takes it pulling himself up.
"You're fine but we need to get out of here." He looks around real quick.
"No shit. Come one." I was still holding his hand so I drag him out of the back exit and back towards the academy.
