Wolf's Mate

Chapter 25

Wolf's Mate

Time went by until the end of my shift, during that time Goldie was teaching me how to play chess. I knew what the pieces were and how they moved but to actully play I had no clue. I tried to use tricks that would be used by the players on the football team which did good so far but in the end I lost. "Checkmate Wolf. That's 7 games for me and 0 for you." Goldie said, a little smug about it. "At least I tried. I came close in game 5 and you know it." I said while smirking at him. "True but who still won that game? Hmm?" He asked matching my smirk but adding more smug to it. It wiped the smirk I had off. "You did." I huffed as he laughed. "Indeed. Want to go another round?" he asked as I help reset the pieces. "Yeah. Let's go." I said.

About half way through our 9th game Matt came in and greeted us but was abit surpirsed to see me still there. "Hey Rose. What are you still doing here? Your shift ended a while ago." He said as he came over to us. We look up at him and smile. "I took the gang out to a house party hosted by student at school and well a few of them got druck and by the time they wake up, hungover." I said as he shakes his head. "Rose. Why did you allow that?" He asked as he walked over to the sleeping gang. "Hey. I still looked after them when we left. Besides I know a little home remedy that well take the hangover away with just one sip." I said with a slight smirk. "Oh and what is it?" Matt asked as Goldie eyed me curiously. "Not going to tell. It's a secret. I had to make it before for a bunch of my friends so I never drank it before I just know it gets rid of hangovers the moment it hits your lips." I said as I got up and looked at Goldie, "I'm gonna go make it and Goldie we just call this game your win since we both know you would have won anyway." I said as he laughed.

I went to the kitchen and throw random food and drink into the blender and made an odd colored smoothy. I filled up 4 cups of it and put them on a tray to bring to the others. As I made it to the stage Foxy, Freddy, Bonnie and Chica were just waking thanks to Goldie and Matt. "Guys why were drinking when you know it's not good for you and that today we are hosting a birthday party?" Matt and I could tell that even though they are rest and the beer and what ever else they drank should have ran out its time out of their systems but it must be different for them since they look to still be under the effects along with its loose lip effect. Bonnie and Chica seem to have started to cry, Foxy started growling angerly, and Freddy was just hiccuping and giggling. "We just....we just...we just wanted to drown our bad memories of the previous guards. We hurt, scared, and killed so many. We just wanted to forget." Chica cried causing Freddy to stop and look at her before wraping an arm around her and hold her as a way to comfort her. "We just wanted to forget our pain. We didn't mean to do what we did. We don't deserve to still be moving." Bonnie said as Foxy tries to comfort him.

"Chica...Bonnie.." Matt started before I gently pushed him out of the way. "Guys. Look at me." I said gently to them while kneeling to their level. They look at me with sadness in their eyes that broke my heart. I smile at them softly. "I have no clue how it is for you guys and I can not even begin to understand even if you explain it to me. But I say you lot do deserve to still be moving. Because your nightmare it is over. You have a new start. To help prove it, I have 4 special drinks. One for each of you. It's called restart. One whole cup of it will remove all negative from you and show you a new light. And should that not work then I'm here. For you guys." I said as I held up my hand, palm facing them. "Come to me and think of my hand as a restart button, then press it and you will be alright. For you have people, Matt, Goldie, and me to be there for you. And I'm sure even my friends Aaron and Eric well be there too." I said them as they smile at me. I hand out the drinks to them.

"Warning the drinks probably won't taste good but drink the whole thing and your hangover and bad throughts will be gone and you will be happy." I said as they each took a sip of the odd drink. They gagged alittle and made faces of disgust but I engcourged them to continue to drink it and they did. Once they were done, they all looked surprised before smiling happily. "Hey I think it's working. I feel better now!" Bonnie said as he stood up and went to get his guiltar before playing it. The others got up and started smiling. Foxy went his stage and started to sword fight with the air. Freddy and Chica started singing. Matt and Goldie look at me surpirsed and confused while I just picked up the cups while smiling at my handy work. The gang stopped whatever they were doing, then came over to me. "Rose! Thank you so much!" Chica said as she jumped up on me, wrapping her arms around my neck. I blushed as I wrapped my free arm around her. "Your welcome guys. It was the least I could do for you. I have a feeling that your past is not easy to get over or forget but know that you always have people who love you to look out for you. And I'm one of them." I said as they all came and hugged me.

"Lass, just what was in those drinks? I could not place a bloody single thing in it." Foxy asked me but I gave him an mischif like smile. "Magic, and love." is all I said, while he gives a hearty laugh as he ruffles my hair. I stuck around a bit longer to talk with the gang about their past but I could tell it made them feel better to have someone other then Matt and Goldie to talke about this sort of thing. I was glad to help them just by listening to them. The time came where I had to leave so I could rest for tonights shift. I was just glad I had no practice today. I was tired. I walked over to the front door before I stopped by the voice that I loved. Chica's voice. "Rose wait." Chica said as she ran over to me in her animatronic form and I turned to her. "Yes Chica?" I asked. She shifted from side to side slightly and I could she was emberressed but I waited for her to speak first. "Rose....thank you again for all that you have did. It may seem so little but the fact that you brought us back here after the party, staying here with us even past the end of your shift, making those odd but helpful drinks for us, your words, you listening to us....it really means alot to us....it means alot to me. Rose...you are no longer that little girl that followed me around like a lost puppy, you are a mature young woman. You grown alot Rose." She said as she looks at me straight in the eye.

I blushed while my tail wagged slightly. "Thank you Chica. But I still have my immature moments but hey thats just what makes me, me." I said as she laughed, making me blush more and my ears twich alittle. She hugs me and I hug her back. "Thank you so much Rose." "Your welcome Chica." We let go of each other, she looked to have wanted to say more and I think I had a feeling of waht it was about. I held up my hand to her and she chuckles. She raised her hand and pressed the center of my palm. "Congrats Chica. You have restarted with a new life." I said as I started to hold her hand. She smiled sheepishly and I think she would be blushing if she wasn't in her animartonic form. She chuckled and held my hand back. "I really can not say this enough Rose. Thank you. I'm glad to have this new life, given to me." We both laugh as we let go of each others hand. "No problem Chica. I'll be here to help you and to give you a new restart when you need it." We hugged each other once last time before she kissed me in the cheek and I left the pizzeria.

'I may not fully understand their demons but just by being there I can help them light the way to a new future for them.' I got in my car, still thinking of all that has happend the past few hours that I barly noticed something was in my backseat on the drive home. I pulled over and got out the car to look in the back. There sitting in the middle of the seat was about a dozen roses with a lace bow tied around them and a small note. I was straight up scared. 'How the hell did someone break into my car with out me hearing the.....did I not turn my car alarm on when I brought the others back to the pizzeria?' I thought as I picked up the note. The note read: 'Here are some roses for my beloved Rose. You make me soar through the sky like the football that you throw. You are cool like the ice you skate on. Love you lots. ~Your mate.'

I was really scared now. 'It has to be Lusy's doing. She must have been this crazy enought to do somthing that you would find in a suspense film.' I thought as I depted on throwing the roses out on the street but I may need these when I report this to the cops. 'They not be able to do much with this now but it may still help them in some way at some point.' I thought as I got back in my car and drove the rest of the way home. I greeted my parents as I went to phone and called the cops.
