Wolf's Mate

Chapter 19

Wolf's Mate

I woke up to someone gently shaking my shoulder. "Time to get up sleepy-head." I heard Freddy's voice as I slowly opened my eyes and yawned. "W-what time is it? How long was I out?" I asked as I noticed I was still in Chica's lap, wrapped in her arms. I blushed slightly as she ruffled my hair. "It's 7. You slept right through your shift." she said as she lets go so I could stand up. I stood up and stretched my arms and back, feeling my bones shift back into place and get any knots out. "How ye feeling lass? Sleep well?" Foxy asked while I smile at them. "I'm feeling good Foxy and I slept well." "Oh please you slept like the baby you once were in Chica's arms." Bonnie said and everyone laughed.

"Ok ok. Anyway thanks for letting me sleep guys." "Of course Rose. You needed it. You didn't really get any sleep yesterday so you deserved a rest from your long week." Goldie said. "It was long thanks to everyone at school." "Well.....it is very rare for a night guard that worked or works here currently to well survive so long or live but leave with trama." Freddy said as they all look down sadly. I glared, starting to feel upset and I clapped my hands to get their attention. "Hey! It's not your fault. It was the kids but even then it was not their fault either. They were just delosional and scared that another night gaurd well become a child killer. I know this is easier said then done but you guys it's going to be alright. You'll get through this with my help. I survived all 6 nights and I'm still here. Once word gets around about a night guard still working here after all the missing people and deaths then they well see the rumors are not true and a brand new light well shine on this place." I said as they look at me hopefully.

"Thank you lass. We are lucky to have you as a friend." Foxy said. "Your welcome and come on guys why wouldn't I help you? Like Foxy just said, I'm your friend but to me guys you are like a family to me. You guys have been there since I was a baby up until that day, my parents tried to help you and so well I." I declared as they turning into their human forms and we got together in a group hug. We broke apart when we heard someone cleared their throut and we turned to see Matt Owens, my boss. "Hey Mr.Owens. Sorry I'm still here. I uh fell asleep on the job and uh let me just grab my jacket and my plaid shirt and I'll be on my way out." I said as I got off the stage. "Hold on Rose. I heard what you said to the gang here and well I find it heart warming that all of you are back together. You see Rose I was there with them in your hosptial room and well my heart broke for you and them." He said as he gestured to the gang.

"The fact that you all were torn apart but now are brought back together so you could help them is amazing Rose." He comes closer and places a hand on my shoulder. "I knew your parents and I'm sure that they, may their souls rest in peace, they will and are proud of you and the person you become. I'm also sure that they are glad that you lot are back together." He said as we hugged. "Thanks Mr. Owens." "Please Rose call me Matt." "Thanks Matt." "Your welcome Rose." he said as we seperated. "Well I have to get going or my foster parents well be worried as to where I am, plus I'm sure if I check my phone I well find messages and missed calls from my friend Aaron and or Eric wondering how my outing with Chica went." I said "Oh right, how did that 'outing' go Rose?" He asked and I knew from the tone in his voice meant that he too knew of my growning feelings for Chica. "Ask the gang." I said as I hurried to the parts and service room to grab my plaid shirt I left in the locker as I heard them talk about the outing.

As I grabbed my shirt I heard someone walk in and I knew from the scent of lavernder it was Chica. I turned to her and smiled while she got closer to me and held my jacket in her hands. "Hey Rose I just wanted to give you your jacket back before you left." she said as she held it out for me and I took it back. "Thanks for letting me barrow it last night." "Your welcome Chica. Anytime." she comes over and hugs me again and I hug her back. "Thank you so much for being a part of our lives Rose. You have no clue how much we wanted the nightmare to end." "Your welcome Chica. Like I said you guys are family to me, I love you all. I just really wanted to help you guys." I said as tears made their way in her joy filled eyes before it was replaced with shorrow and lowered her head. "Even though it nearly costed you, your life." I gently took her chin in between my finger and lifted her head up to look at me as I smiled softly.

"Chica that night is now behind us. Yes I knew the risks and that I got lucky at last second but I'm honest when I say that I was scared for not just my life but for your's, for Freddy's, for Bonnie and Foxy's, and Goldie's and all the future night guards that would have come after me. I was scared for the ghost kids as well. I was glad that my calls did not fall on deaf ears like their's did. I'm glad that my life was spared death at that moment. I was glad that I was lucky. Chica I took the risk because I knew that it was the right thing to do dispite my fright wanting me to run but I took that fear and used it to push towards my goal. Saving all of you. I'm glad I took the risk Chica, for who knows what would have happend if I didn't." I said as I gently kissed her on the forehead. "Don't be sad be glad that I'm alive like I am." I said to her as we hugged again. We broke apart when we heard someone again clear their throut. "What is this clear your throut day?" I asked as we looked to the person which just happend to be Foxy. "Sorry to ruin yar moment lasses but Rose, remember you have to get home so ye parents don't worry." "Right. Thanks Foxy. Later Chica, later Foxy." I said as I start to walk away but Chica grabbed my arm and pulled me down to her height and kissed my cheek, making me blush as red as Foxy's fur.

"Don't be a stranger Rose. Stop by at some point today with your parents. I'm sure we all would like to meet them." She said as I simply nodded while I walk out the room. I looked to the stage and saw everyone looking over in our direction with slight knowing smiles. "Well got to go guys. See ya'll later today." I said the them as I waved and they waved back saying their goodbyes while I went through the front area, to the parking lot, and to my car and went home. On the drive home I couldn't help but let my thoughts wonder back to my friends at the pizzeria, as well as Chica. I truely did love them as a family but my love for Chica is far more different. I just wish someday I could take my fear of rejection and turn it to the courage I need to confess but like I said to Freddy, I want to take things slow, to build back up the friendship that was broken after that one night.

I arrived home and was ambused by my mom and dad who I quickly reassured I was fine, not happend, and I just fell asleep at work. They did scold me a little about me sleeping on the job but understood that I didn't get any sleep yesterday. We talked for a bit over breakfest and I convinced them to come with me later to stop by my job later on today. After we ate, I helpped with the dishes before I called back Aaron and Eric who did infact tried to call me and message me earlier about the details of outing along with the incadent with Lusy. "Wow girl. That thot is really crazy about getting you back." Aaron said. "I know right sweetie. I swear Wolf. Before I thought the both of you were cute together but after you broke up and now this I wonder why you dated her." Eric said.

"I regret ever dating her guys. I'm just glad it's the weekend and I can just relax." I said to them over group call. "I feel ya girl. You had the most stressful week. What with the new job, practice, the questions, Lusy, and now your new love intrest is just way to much. I am suprised you DIDN'T punch anyone at school Rose." Aaron said. "I said I was close to do so Aaron anyway I have to go guys. I have to shower and rest up. I'm heading into work later to show my parents and introduce them to a few co-workers of mine." I said "Alright later girl. Either one of us well call and tell you the details of our date." Aaron said as he hung up. "He's right either us well call you after mine and Aaron's date. Chow girl." he said as he hung up. I smiled softly before I sighed and went to go take my shower.
