The Bite: Volume I: Face To Face (Withered Bonnie X Reader)

Chapter 9: Guardian

You look up at him, shaking.

" - P-please don't kill me!

Although his voice is glitchy, he pronounces "him" very distinctively.

" - "Him?"

- Y̵e̴-̴e̸s̷.̸.̶.̴

- Who is "he?"

- Who is "she"?!

- T̷h̷e̷ ̸P̶u̸p̵p̶e̶t̸.̸"

You look at him, surprised.

" - The Puppet? That animatronic that resides inside the music bo-"

You suddenly realize that it's been a while since you last checked the Prize Corner.

" - Oh no!

He shows you a small piece of metal placed on the "wind up" button. You look up at him, thankful.

" - I still don't understand why you are so kind with me.

- Really? Four years?"

He nods a little.

"Wow. That's... a long time, indeed. Wait- talking about time, what time is it?"

You look up at the clock as it strikes 2 AM.

" - Only 2 AM?! How am I going to make it?

He nods and starts kneeling down in front of the left vent.

" - Hey! Where are you going?

He exits the room. You leave the metal piece the animatronic placed on the monitor and focus on the hallway and the vents. You can already see Withered Foxy coming colser. You flicker the torch towards him multiple times but he doesn't move.

"Come on, go away!"

You accidentally hit the monitor with your elbow, which makes the small metal piece fall.

"Shit!"

You quickly look down but can't see where it fell.

"I don't have the time to look for it."

You sigh and gaze back inside the corridor, observing that the fox is still there. You take a look at the camera panel to wind up the music box. When you look back up, you see a withered chicken animatronic standing right in front of you. You quickly put the mask on, praying that it will work. A few seconds later, the robot leaves the room. You sigh in relief, remove the unbearable mask and check the Prize Corner, then the hallway. Withered Foxy is always standing in the hallway, but a withered bear animatronic joined him while you weren't looking.

"Oh naw."

You hear a thud in the right vent, look at it, and see Toy Bonnie staring at you.

"It's a no."

You wear the brown mask once again, more pissed off than actually scared that they wouldn't stop trying to come into your office. Finally, the clock strikes six.

"FREEDOM!!"
