The Marionette

Jeremy winced as Mike tossed the flashlight at Balloon Boy to shut him up. The rest of the nightguards sighed. It was a rare occasion to catch all five nightguards in the office on the same night. For some reason the old animontronics would stay away from the office when Mike and Vincent were working the nightshift. "Stupid fucker." Mike muttered, glaring at the animontronic. Mike stalked over and picked up the flashlight and kicked Balloon Boy. "Don't forget to check the baby's box Jeremy." Vincent said, grinning like a madman. Scott smacked Vincent in the back of the head with a rolled up newspaper. "The correct term is don't forget to check on The Marionette." Scott said. Vincent rolled his eyes at Scott. "Its just a stupid puppet." Vincent muttered. "Incoming!" yelled Fritz, diving under the desk. Jeremy yanked the spare Freddy head on. Mike ducked under the desk with Fritz. Vincent and Scott dove for the closet, shutting the doors just as Toy Bonnie crawled out of the vent. "Awww I wanted the nightguard." Toy Bonnie whined. Toy Bonnie sounded like a girl. Toy Bonnie turned and disappeared back into the vent. Jeremy took the Freddy head off and sighed. Mike and Fritz crawled out from under the desk. Mike stood up and walked to the closet Vincent and Scott were in. He knocked on the door twice, and backed up. The closet doors flying open and Vincent tumbled out followed by Scott stepping over his body. "What's that noise?" Fritz asked. "What noise?" Mike responded. "The one that sounds like the music box unwinding." Mike snatched the monitor out of Jeremy's hand. "Shit." Mike swore. Vincent's skin slowly started to change to purple and so did his hair. Scott's phone head started ringing. Fritz grabbed his box of donuts and closed his eyes. Everyone knew there was no stopping The Marionette. Jeremy closed his eyes, reaching for Mike's hand. Mike grabbed Jeremy and pulled him into a hug. Everyone now had their eyes closed. They all heard a thump, but no screech. Everyone slowly opened their eyes, glancing at the thing on the desk. The Marionette didn't look like it was supposed to. Instead the Marionette wore a black t-shirt with black and white striped fingerless gloves. It also wore black short shorts with thigh high socks. It also wore black heeled boots. What was really unusual about The Marionette was the Marionette had long white hair with black streaks pulled up into a high ponytail. Even with it's hair up, it's hair came down to it's waist. The Marionette had it's mask on. The Marionette smiled. "Hello Nightguards." it said in a soft, quiet voice.
