Wolf's Mate

Chapter 6

Night 3

Night fell and I arrived to my job at 11:50 this time. My body was even more sore and I was dead tired. I treaded myself to the office and sat down in the chair and layed my head down on the table. I kept forcing my eyes open and before I realized it the clock chimes toll and the phone rings with it's new message for me. "Hello. Hello? Hey you're doing great! Most people don't last this long. I mean, you know, they usually move on to other things by now. I'm not implying that they died. Th-th-that's not what I meant. Uh, anyway I better not take up too much of your time. Things start getting real tonight." I look at the phone in groggy confusion. "Uh....Hey listen, I had an idea; if you happen to get caught and want to avoid getting stuffed into a Freddy suit, uhh, try playing dead! You know, go limp. Then there's a chance that, uh maybe they'll think that you're an empty costume instead. Then again if they think you're an empty costume they might try to...stuff a metal skeleton into you. I wonder how that would work. Yeah, nevermind, scratch that. It's best just not to get caught. Um...ok, I'll leave you to it. See you on the flip side."

After the message, I layed my head back down and dispite my fighting it, I fell asleep. I work up adruptly by cold water and ice being poured on me. I shoot up straight, chocking up water and ice. I look around me and saw I was in what looked like the parts and service room surrounded by four males I don't know and Amanda. I looked at them confused. Last I remember was being in my office and I fell asleep after the message. 'How am I not dead yet?' I thought to myself. I looked at each male around me. They each look close to my height from a even 6ft to 6ft and 7inches. The shortest male who was holding a bucket had short shaggy lavernder hair and eyes. His hair reminded me of Shaggy Rogers from Scooby-Doo. He had a slime, stocky type build and wore a semi-formal purple suit. Another male who was clearly the second tallest had wavy red hair and golden eyes, and a slight 5 o'clock shadow, he too was slime but was more musculer, he was well tanned like he been outside all day. He wore a pirate outfit.

I looked to my right and saw what could have been a pair ot twins. The shortest of the two seems to be between in build and height of the first two guys, he had golden hair and clear blue eyes, and wore a golden with black trim suit. Finally the tallest of the four had thick clean cut brown hair and clear blue eyes. He was not as slime as the others but was more musculer but not quite a full body builder. he wore a brown suit. I look over to Amanda confused "Amanda? What's going on? Why am I back here? I should either be back in my office or dead." I said starting to get a scared. "Aye lass, we found ye asleep at yer desk before the animatronics did. We brought ye back her so ye can be safe" said the male with red hair.

I run my hand trough my hair as I stretch my back, hearing my bones shift and crack into place. "How long was I out for?" I asked as I gently rub my eyes to get the sleepiness out of them. "Only an hour." Goldie locks told me. I get off the table and stretched some more. "Only an hour and yet I'm still alive. Thanks to you guys." I smiles at them but only Amanda smilies back, everyone else was stern faced. "So uhh what are your names?" I asked "Sammy," Goldie locks said "Freddy" said Sammy's suspected twin. "My name be Lucus. The lavender one be named Ben." the red head said. "Ok well how did you get past the animatronics or even get in? I have the only key at night." I question them

"No need to know that at the moment. We will like to ask you a few things." Sammy said. "Alright, ask away." I leaned against the table and Amanda sat down next to me and rested her head on my shoulder, I blushed slightly but let her do what she wanted at the moment. "First qeustion. How are you easily surviving the nights here?" Ben asked. My wolf ears twich a little at the small high pitch in his voice, you can easily tell it's a male's voice but for me it ended in a high pitch. "My higher senses. They are on par with a wolf's ever since 11 years back." "What happened eleven years ago that caused you to get your wolf ears and tail?" Freddy questioned, I rolled up my left sleeve and showed them the scar.

They look at shocked while Amanda tenses up. "I got my arm bitten into while here. My birth parents were taking me to the hospital but a drunk driver hit us. My parents died, me and the driver barly made it. We both survived but I lost too much blood between the bite and the getting to the hospital. I have a rare blood type blood type and the only thing closest to mine was a wolf's. I don't know the process of the transfusion but when I woke up, I had the ears and tail, a long with higher senses." I explained and Amanda hugged me. "Where are ye living now lass? Ye had to been placed somewhere." Lucus asked "I'm in foster care. I been living with a very good family." I told them. For a while now they been asking me all sorts of questions and I been asking them a few, although they don't give me much answers. I had asked them about this place and Sammy gave me old newspapers articals.

I was shocked when I read them. '5 missing kids never found' I thought to myself "Wow....this place....it's got a....history to it." "Yes. It does." Sammy said as I noticed his eyes turn black with bright white pinsticks and the same black oil substance falling from his eyes but this only for a second because when he blinked his eyes were back to normal. But the change was long enough for me to see. 'Golden Freddy?' I wondered to myself. "Well lass. I think its time for ye to go back to work" Lucus said "I'll escort her back" Amanda volunteered. "Alright. We'll go on a head of you and leave. You can stay here or follow us." Ben said and she nodded. The both of us left the room and snuck back to the office. On the way there I didn't see the animatronics which was weird. Amanda stayed with me in the office once we got there. We talked to each other about anything that came to mind.

As we talked I would close the door on one of the animatronics who started to appear and come me in my office. Time went by and we continued to talk. It felt nice to have someone to have a deep coversation with, I couldn't help but grin as I listen to Amanda talk, hear my heart thump hard against my rib cage as she laughs at my stories, jokes, and bad puns. My face increases in heat as she listens to me talk, leaving me tongue tied, and butterflies in my gut as she watches me with her cherry blossom eyes. I was turning into a wreak around her. The time was 5:50 when I checked, the animatronics didn't come around much but still did. "Ten minutes left before we are free to go." I looked at Amanda and saw she looked uncomforatble and blushing from what looked to be emberessment.

"Whats wrong Amanda?" I asked concerned "I-i-its about -y-yesterday." she studdered "What about yesterday?" I asked her as I placed my hands on my knees and bend down to her height. "Well remember you chased me with a cupcake after I smashed one in your face?" I nodded "Well it's what happened before you got payback for the cupcake, after you caught me." she said as I look at her confused "before the payback but after I caught you?" she nodded as I thought back to that moment. Then it hit me like a frait train. I had kissed Amanda, I kissed her after I had JUST met her two nights ago. My face bloomed to the shade of a stop light as I stiffly stood up, shooked. "Oh my god...Amanda....I'm, I'm s-s-so -s-sorry. I-I..." my heart thundered as the memory of her lips against mine replayed over and over in my head

"I-it's ok Rose. I know you didn't mean to kiss me." sh said while her blush was equal to mine. "Like I said on the first night when I scratched your ears. It's natural instinct so little kisses are to be expected. And I was scratching your ears when it happened." she explained and I relaxed a little. "A-alright. But I'm still sorry. Shouldn't have done that. I only hope it doesn't hurt get in the way of any friendship we could have." I said as she relaxed and smilied at me. "It won't but I'm glad we talked about it but." she looked at me mischiefly "But what?" I asked her "But if you still feel guilty about it then maybe me and you could go out on a little outing say in the afternoon or evening on Friday?" she said and I smiled

"Sure. I only have one practice on Fridays so the aftrenoon works for me. Practice ends at four so how about I pick you from here at 5:30 and we go out?" I asked her and she grins "I'll love that. Maybe we could go out for a bite to eat and a movie?" "Sure sounds like a plan. Any place in particular you wish to go to eat?" I asked her "How about Jardin de L'amour?" "Jardin de L'amour it is." she smilies brightly as the clock chimes goes off. "I have to go now. Well I see you again tonight?" I asked her while blushing and she nods her head. "Same time as the last few nights." "Alright. Great. See you tonight chickadee." I grin at her as she blushes at the nickname and I leave to go home, get ready for school and for both football and hockey practice later this day.
