Joshinette~

Chapter 7

A/N: I'm sorry this was kinda short...i had horrible writer's block forever -_- But i think it's gone now~

An alarm went off, startling Josh awake. He squealed, trying to jump up. A weight held him down.

"What the-" Renamon was sleeping on top of him. Josh quickly pushed her off, jumping on the counter in fear. She woke with a start, jumping to her paws and growling. "D-d-don't kill me!" Josh crouched, whimpering with his tail fur bristling. Renamon blinked, yawning and looking around.

"Oh! Don't worry, that's just the alarm that signals the end of your shift." She informed him with another yawn. Josh signed in relief, letting the fur on his tail relax. He reached for his phone to call Leena, but it seemed to be missing.

"Er...you didn't take my phone, did you?" He asked, looking at Renamon. She shook her head and checked under the desk.

"Nope. Didn't even notice you had one." Josh groaned, sliding off the desk and sniffing around. Where could he have misplaced his phone?

"You appear to be looking for something, Joshinette." A voice in his head said. It scared him so much, he fainted.

When he woke up again, Renamon was fanning him with her tail. He blinked, pupils dilating as he sat up.

"What happened?" Renamon asked. He shrugged, a bit shaky from the shock.

"I heard this voice...it was in my head." Josh thought for a moment. Didn't the Marionette call him Joshinette? He forced a grin and dismissed the thought. It was probably nothing. He stretched on all fours and yawned. Renamon peeked out into the halls, then checked the vents.

"All clear!" She announced. Josh nodded, tucking his tail around one of his legs and walking out toward the exit. His ears perked, hearing a static noise. He whirled around, unsheathing his claws. Renamon jumped, putting her paws up in defense. Josh sighed, retracting his claws and turning to continue walking.

"Sorry.." He mumbled. Renamon patted his back.

"I know it's been a rough night for you. But don't worry! I'll help you during the nightshifts." Renamon promised. They smiled at each other and continued walking. Nearing the doors, Josh had only put his hand on the handle when Renamon screeched and fell to the ground, twitching and spazzing.

"What's wrong?!" Josh was at her side in an instant, too afraid to touch her as her body was sparking.

"They're...coming.....run...." Renamon whispered. As if on cue, Mangle flew from the ceiling and tackled Josh. He screamed in fright, grabbing Mangle's jaw and pushing it away from him. Its tongue lolled, trying to bite him. Josh heard multiple sets of footsteps coming his way. He had to get Mangle off quickly. He bunched his hind legs, then thrust Mangle off of him. Mangle landed with a thud at least 6 feet away. Josh scrambled to his feet and took off running away from the front doors. He dared to look back, and nearly fainted at what he saw. Toy Freddy, Toy Chica and Foxy were sprinting after him. Josh ran faster, heading back to the office. The animatronics were still chasing after him. Josh ducked into the right vent, only to be greeted by a pair of glowing green eyes. There was Toy Bonnie.

"NOPE!" Josh backed out quickly, turning to face Renamon. But she wasn't happy. She looked...meaner. Saliva fell from her jaws, and her eyes were black with white pupils. Josh's blue eyes widened in fear, backing up against the wall. "Hey friends..heh..let's talk..." Josh's tail quivered.

"LEAVE MY BOYFRIEND ALONE YOU DEMONS!" Josh heard Leena's voice. He sighed in relief, wanting to see his girlfriend and get out of here as quickly as possible. But he also had to protect her. The animatronics were now focused on Leena. Josh could see her brown hair from between Toy Freddy and Foxy. Toy Chica lunged for Leena, and Josh threw himself at her, kicking and clawing furiously. Toy Chica flung Josh off, grabbing Leena and running off with her. Josh screeched, scrambling to his feet. He took a step to run but was dogpiled by Renamon, Mangle and Toy Bonnie. "JOSH WHERE ARE YOU?!" Josh heard Leena's voice carried through the vents.

"I'M COMING!" He fought furiously, kicking and shoving the animatronics piled on top of him. No matter how hard he fought, he couldn't escape. Then he heard a familiar voice.

"Good job, my children. You caught him." It was Marionette. All at once, the animatronics stood up and moved away. Renamon stayed there, holding Josh by his shirt collar. The neko snarled, thrashing as he tried breaking free of Renamon's grip.

"I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS!" Josh wailed. Renamon's eyes held no emotion, gripping Josh tighter. Marionette appeared from the darkness and smiled at him. Josh froze.

"Hello, Joshinette. Thought you could escape my puppets so easily?" The Marionette chuckled, lifting Josh up with psychic energy. He tried to struggle, but couldn't move. He was trapped with the Marionette.
