Animatronic Heart

Nine

There were memories....of being...on a stage. Of little children hugging the leg of a golden bunny. The deep laugh of a golden bear. She sat behind a drum kit and sang backup for the golden bear. But these weren't her memories. They were here before she was. She would walk around and talk to the children. The little girls loved her. Then she saw Fredbear, the golden bear, have a child's head shoved into his mouth... "Fred no!" She tried to say. She couldn't stray from the program. He closed his mouth, and the child was instantly killed. Blood flew everywhere. People screamed. The 4 who had put the child into his mouth wore masks. The leader was in a fox mask, the others were in a bear, a chicken and a purple bunny mask. Purple. It rang a bell in her own memories. Bonnie. She opened her eyes and looked down at her really dusty and torn up white body. She wiggled her ears. What was this? She could hear talking. "Do you think she's awake yet Marionette?" That was a very familiar voice. "Calm down Bonnie." A deeper voice spoke. They were talking about her. She stood. Her metallic joints were rusty and creaked loudly. "I wasn't talking to you. And I'm still not." Bonnie snapped. She blinked and realized she only had one eye. She could see just fine through both, but there was only one animatronic eye. She looked in the corner. There was a slumped figure of a woman. Her body was halfway into a brown animatronic suit and she was sitting in a puddle of blood. There were drag marks from the middle of the room to her. "Poor girl" is the only think she could think. She went to the door. "C-can someone h-help me?" Her voice was slightly distorted. Bonnie and the other voice were arguing.  Then it stopped. "Wait. Did you hear that?" She spoke up again. "Help m-me...please." There was footsteps and the door opened. It had been locked from the outside. The purple bunny stood there. She was about 4 inches shorter. He hugged her tightly. "You're awake!" Bonnie said with glee. "Bonnie! Hi..." She hugged him back. She knew he was her friend and she also knew he was in love with her. "Why can't I remember anything?" She asked. "O-oh... uh...Marionette?" Bonnie looked at the puppet behind him. "I assume you have seen the girl?" The puppet asked. She nodded. "She is you. You are her. Your animatronic body only owns your soul. She was your human body." She looked down and tried to remember everything. There was nothing but what happened in the pizzeria. She looked over at Freddy, Chica, and Foxy. "You killed me?" Foxy looked guilty. The other two just turned away. "We be sorry lass. Bonnie didn't tell us he were in love with ye." She sighed and hugged him. "I forgive you." Freddy sidestepped away, Chica hugged her and Foxy. "And you too Freddy." Freddy just kind of smiled. Bonnie stood back, clearly still angry with them. She pulled away. "Marionette?" The puppet looked at her. "What was my name? I can't remember that. It's blurry." The puppet sighed. "Your human name was Samantha. But you preferred Sam." "Ah." Sam nodded. "But the name of the suit you are attached to is Petra. Which name would you prefer now?" "Sam." She stated. "So Sam it shall be." Marionette bowed and went back to her musical gift box. Bonnie looked Sam up and down. "You look terrible. But at least you're okay." Sam looked down. The suit had some holes in it and the tutu she wore was ripped badly. "What are we gonna do with me?" She asked. "Well. Marionette could fix you. But she's away for the night. So when 6 am comes, you'll have to sit in the back room. Maybe they'll find you and decide to put you on stage again..." Sam sat on the edge of the stage, and held her head in her paws. "But if they don't I'll just get worse." Bonnie sat next to her. "It'll be okay. I promise." He smiled. "Did you mean what you said? When you said you loved me?" Sam looked over at him. He didn't look at her. He was quiet. "Yeah." Bonnie said after along while.
