Forever Mangled - NatePat

{Chapter 4: Puppet's Shocking Surprise}

Matt's POV

As the three of us walked into the prize room, we could see a white and red stripped box sitting in the corner of the prize area.

"And that is where the famous and mysterious marionette would pop up to deliver presents." She said, gesturing to the box behind the counter. "You're welcome to open it if you like."

Nate and I walked over to the box. It was made out of plastic instead of cardboard, most likely to prevent it from being damaged or something.

I zoomed the camera in on Nate as he slowly opened the lid.

Nate and I jumped with a start as a loud shrill sound came from the box and the puppet jumped out.

Tina giggled a little and helped to adjust the puppet on top of the box properly.

"The puppet was one of the more recent additions to the Fazbear franchise." Tina explained. "He's not all puppet, but not all animatronic either. He used to be controlled by a wire rig system built into the wall."

"Interesting" Nate said, whilst looking at the puppet in awe."...um is it alright if I take a selfie with him?"

"Absolutely!" Tina exclaimed, stepping back to allow Nate to get nearer to the puppet.

Nate grabbed his phone and went to pick up the puppet.

Nate wrapped his arm around the shoulders of the doll and raised his phone up to snap the picture.

Suddenly, a flash of light and a loud sparking sound came from the puppet, jolting Nate and throwing him to the floor.

"Nate!" I screamed, dropping the camera and running to his side. "Oh my goodness, are you alright?"

Nate groaned, sitting up rubbing his neck.

"Ouch," Nate groaned. "That really hurt...what the hell caused that thing to spark like that?"

Tina picked up Nate's phone that had been fried during the sparking of the puppet.

"I think it may have been your phone," she said. "Some of the puppets wiring may still be active and your phone created a full charge or something."

I helped Nate up, leaning him on my arm for support.

"Let's get you back to the hotel," I said walking with Nate towards the exit. "Tina, if Nate feels better, can we go to the Fazbear Fright location another day?"

"Certainly," Tina confirmed, writing it down in her phone. "I can give the tour tomorrow at 4 pm, would that work?"

"Certainly," I said. "And sorry to cut this short like that."

"Oh goodness, don't even worry about it." She said. "It's my fault he got hurt anyways. I should have known better then to let the public touch the animatronics. I'm very sorry that happened."

"Don't blame yourself Tina," Nate piped up. "It was a simple accident."

Tina showed us the way out and I helped Nate into the passenger seat. I loaded up all the equipment, waved goodbye to Tina and began to drive away.

"You feeling any better Nate?" I asked, eyes on the road.

Nate didn't respond for a few second.

"Nate?" I asked again, still looking at the road.

"Huh?" Nate mumbled.

"I said, are you feeling any better?" I repeated.

"Oh sorry," he said. "Guess I zoned out. I'm fine, thanks."

"How strange..." I thought as I drove us back to our hotel.

"What did that shock do to him?"
