The Angel's Gift

Sacrifices Made

Henry, Angel, and Battery walked around the studio for anything that could give answers or a way to save Boris. Nothing seemed like how it was when Henry awoke. Angel never saw the studio as her mother had been fired years ago before her birth. Battery could fly, but they preferred he stayed with them. He was perched on his owner's head. They were in an environment that was new to all.

Angel felt Battery fly off her and over to a nearby wall. "What is it, Battery?"

The bat used his wing to point to a recorder. Henry pressed the play button as it spoke its entry.

It's done. I had to do it. Now, Allison Pendle stands in the role that was meant for Susie Campbelle. I tried to explain it to her, but she just ran off. On the day she cleared her office, she didn't even want to look at me. Alice doesn't seem happy about it either, and neither did Joey.

I'm so sorry, Susie. I hope you'll have a happier life out somewhere out there. I don't know if you'll ever forgive me. I don't deserve it. I know how much Alice Angel meant to you, and I had to take it away.

I couldn't just let Joey do what he planned to you. If you knew, I...

It doesn't matter. I hope there's a way to stop all this. Take care of yourself, Susie. Don't forget us.

Henry bit his lip at the message, and who owned the voice. "You were trying to protect her, Sammy"

Sammy wasn't always as crazy as he was. Back then, he was pretty much just normal. He was very responsible and diligent. He didn't even bow or call Bendy as 'my lord' back then. He just spoke to him casually like the rest of the employees.

But he did notice that he seemed to have a bit of a fancy towards Susie back when she used to be a co-worker. Yet, he knew very well how much Joey liked her too and dated her. He decided to stay out of the way, just hoping she would be happy.

He snapped out of his train of thought when he heard a whimper. He looked over and found that Battery was fluttering around a hunched over Angel. She was currently in fetal position and holding her head as she let out her frightened sounds.

"Angel, what's wrong?" he went over to her.

Her eyes were shut tight as her breath unsteadied. He knew that look anywhere. At five years old, she was found to possess rather strange gifts. Once, he had to babysit her while Susie was having overtime at her new job and he found her sleepwalking around the house.

Susie had to make him promise not to tell anyone. She was able to see things that had occurred in the past, memories of events that occurred. The stronger the emotion, the more she is pulled into it. Yet, there were times when it made her faint after she hears and audio attached to it or sees a picture. There were times at school when the teachers found her standing near a closet as she tried to make sense.

She was able to feel emotions in places she passed by and often was able to see the memory itself unveil as if she were right there. It scared her a lot. Susie worried about it as she feared her child would be terrified of what she could do.

Soon enough, she got up and started to slowly walk around as Battery flew by her side. Henry had no choice but to follow her. If she caught something, the only way out was to let her see. They walked a bit until they came to a stop, near a wall that had the words, "I DON'T WANNA WORK HERE ANYMORE'. She let out a whimper and cringed a bit.

"What's wrong? What can you see?"

==================================================

Angel opened her eyes to see she was in a different section of Silly Vision now. Everything was now fixed up, like it was about a decade younger. She looked around, but knew what was happening. She heard something coming down from the hallway. Following the sound, she soon found what surprised her.

There was a brunette with black eyes in a white blouse and black pants yelling at a blonde male with brown eyes in a yellow shirt and brown pants. They were fighting. But the brunette was the one doing most of the yelling, the blonde was just looking down, rather ashamed. She managed to glance at the name tags on their shirts.

"And you replaced her with that?!" the brunette yelled angrily.

"Better out there than here"

The brunette tilted his head a bit. "I know you like her"

He looked up. "Who?"

"Susie"

Angel was confused. They knew her mother?

The blonde seemed to blush a bit.

"I knew it! You did this, so you could keep her out of the studio! You couldn't have her, so you decided no one could! You're even worse than I thought!"

He didn't say a thing.

The blonde glared at him before grabbing him the collar and punching him the face. He then spat on the floor beside him.

"Don't get in my way again" he grumbled before stomping off.

The blonde looked up, holding the area where he was punched. He sighed as he picked himself up. He looked up the wall before dipping his finger in a small jar of ink before writing on the wall the words.

I DON'T WANNA WORK HERE ANYMORE

Angel wished she could help, but she knew she couldn't. This was only a memory, not time travel. She could only observe and learn what happened. She hoped they would be alright. She managed to catch the names on their tags.

The brunette was Joey Drew while the blonde was Sammy Lawrence.

=======================================================

She let out a small cry before she fell to the ground and managed to snap out of her trance. But by then, she had fainted.
