Vanessa and the Glamrock Gigatronics

Chapter 5 - Sad Girly Dates

TRIGGER WARNING: MENTIONS OF SUICIDE, SELF-HARM AND DOMESTIC ABUSE

During the initial weeks following the new night guard's employment into the Fazbear team, Roxanne had continuously cautioned Chica about her close relationship with her. The grey wolf thought that her friend was being naïve by trusting the night guard of all people.

Fazbear Entertainment had never been able to find a decent person to fill the role and Roxanne had hoped that the company would eventually give up and just install more cameras or security bots. Instead, the management had continued their strange crusade and had gone ahead to hire that blonde girl, and now Roxanne did not know what to feel about the situation.

Roxanne knew she was the best and that she deserved all the attention that she got from the hordes of guests that visited the Pizzaplex, so she definitely did not feel like she was missing out on anything by not hanging out with that Vanessa girl. She had absolutely no interest in joining in on Vanessa and Chica's fun chats. She could care less that they were always sharing snacks and having fun during the night shifts. In fact, she most definitely did not want to tell Vanessa about all the new hairstyling techniques she had learned when her AI database was updated. And she certainly was not jealous when Chica would gush about her new friend to her and the boys.

After much denial and self-deprivation, Roxanne put her ego aside for once and admitted to herself that she was actually envious of Chica's sweet friendship with Vanessa. It was great that there was another girl to share the night with and it would be silly to continue acting like she did not want to be Vanessa's friend in some way.

The wolf lady had to figure out a way to approach the night guard without appearing weak or needy, as that could have dire consequences.

But how?

Vanessa had just concluded her rounds through Rockstar Row, after stopping to say hello to Chica for a little bit. She parked the green and yellow shuttle by the Monty Golf entrance and settled into the security office right beside that area, near the main stage. This was her favourite security office to relax in, as it was the most central out of all of them.

The night guard carefully picked up the carton of pink lemonade Fizzy-Faz that Chica had kindly gifted her, and went to the back part of the office to hide it in a special drawer, so that daytime security would not have access to it. As soon as she was done stuffing the carton in the drawer and locking it tight, she heard a loud thump come from the front of the office. It sounded like a few things had been knocked over.

Vanessa stood frozen for a moment. She had just checked the cameras, as well as her general surroundings. She knew that she was here to keep an eye on the building, but with all the security protocols, she had come to the conclusion that it was technically impossible for someone to sneak in undetected.

She took in a short breath, waiting to hear a follow up noise like shuffling feet or whispers, but there was none. Was it one of the robots that had accidentally come into the office? Worried that someone was trying to hurt her, she snapped out of her stupor, pulled out the taser in her pocket, and immediately ran to the front to confront whoever was there.

This led to her tripping over something and landing face first into an unexpectedly soft material. She quickly sat up to see what looked like a massive silvery-white rug that had appeared out of nowhere.

"What? Where did this come from? And why does it look so much like-

Vanessa's thought process was interrupted when the rug started moving and thrashing around the room, knocking over multiple appliances and manuals. Vanessa screamed as the "rug" wrapped itself around her body in some sort of strange hold. She tried to fight off the strange creature as she felt herself being lifted up off of the ground and into the air, whilst still remaining in the confines of the security office.
