"What?" That was probably the worst explanation Bonnie could have given her. Trying to remember? Remember what? Why couldn't he answer any of her questions while still making sense?
Bonnie scowled at Cathryn, and she scooted away. She wasn't out of his reach, but the slight distance made her feel safer. Especially since he still seemed irritated.
The rabbit's gaze drifted to Chica, and his head subtly cocked as he eyed her rebooting form. She looked dead. Bonnie firmly shook his head and turned away.
"What does that mean?" Cathryn insisted. This was the closest she had come to answers, and interrogating Bonnie couldn't be much more dangerous than shoving her hand inside him and Chica to grab some tiny chip!
Bonnie grumbled something incomprehensible under his breath before slowly rising to his feet, rocking gently back and forth like he wasn't entirely stable.
"Where are you going?"
"Enjoy your shift," Bonnie said as he walked to one of the doors. He clicked the button, and it dropped shut with a clank before he made his way to the other side of the room.
Cathryn was surprised to find herself scrambling to get up. "Wait! Where are you going?" Bonnie didn't answer as he passed through the opening and into the hallway. Pain tugged at Cathryn's muscles, but she didn't care. Her answers were getting away!
"Buzz off," Bonnie told her in a hollow voice when she reached the open door.
Cathryn hesitated to follow his heavy footsteps. She didn't want to run around the dark restaurant unprotected. But she also needed to know what was going on. Curiosity got the best of her, and she jogged forward to catch up with Bonnie. What she didn't expect was for the rabbit to turn around and block her path.
"Go back to the office," he commanded, his voice almost reminding her of Freddy's when he'd yelled at her. Except that Bonnie's lacked surety.
"I'm not staying there by myself." Especially with Chica's body still on the ground! They'd even left the pole sticking out of her mouth.
"Go!"
"I can leave if I want to."
"No you can't."
"Why not?" This was stupid. So utterly, stupendously stupid, but Cathryn didn't care anymore. She was going to get some type of explanation whether the animatronics wanted it or not. Logic said otherwise, but she didn't care about that either.
"Because." Bonnie's hands curled into claws, but they stayed stubbornly pressed against his side.
"Let me through, Bonnie." Cathryn tried to move around him, but when she realized that wouldn't work, she attempted a light shove.
His eyes widened threateningly.
Stupid. That was way stupider than she should've been. Cathryn braced for something, some type of attack by way of his mouth or his hands, but nothing came. She blinked up at him for a moment until a theory entered her head. "Can you hurt me?"
"What?" His anger dropped away and he fell a step back.
Bonnie had been quivering, with smoke practically fuming from his long ears, so why hadn't he attacked her? What was holding him back? All Cathryn could picture was two days before when she'd seen Bonnie stop in his tracks despite being on the brink of an attack. "You can't hurt me."
"I can hurt you," he said assuredly, gripping her upper arm hard enough to cut off the circulation.
Cathryn bit her tongue before spitting out, "Then why haven't you killed me?"
