My Shattered Soul {Book 1}

{}:{Chapter 1- The New Nightguard}:{}

"Alright kids, that's all for n-now!" A wolf animatronic named Wolfy, called out. Yeah. That's my best friend, Wolfy. There were kids running around the dark, spooky, room that was filled with chairs and tables. Huh? Who am I? My name is Katie. I was killed when I was nine years old. How am I saying all this? Answer is, I am an animatronic. I possessed this cat suit thing. 

"You heard the wolf! Out you get!" The manager of this Restraunt yelled. I looked up at the dusty clock. It was 11:50pm. My heart began pounding. Today there was going to be a new nightguard! A few moments later, a familiar man walked into the Restraunt. I looked over at Wolfy. 

"What are you looking at me for?" Wolfy whispered. I shrugged. The mysterious man walked over to us.

"Katie, Wolfy. Meet the new nightguard. He will be starting tomorrow." The manager (Will) introduced. The new nightguard looked at us. 

"Hello there..." He mumbled. He looked so familiar, but I couldn't think who! Will gave the new nightguard a tour of the Restraunt. I tried to think of something to say.

"Uh...welcome to Katie's Fun Friendly Family Restraunt!" I quickly burst out. Will and the nightguard turned around. Will smiled, then nodded his head of approval, but the nightguard just looked at me. 

"Good job." Wolfy whispered. 

"Ok, well, you know Wolfy and Katie, so lemme introduce you to Foxlee and Crystal." Will told the nightguard. Foxlee was a fox (obviously) and Crystal was a dragon. The nightguard didn't speak much. 

At 5:30am, Will and the nightguard left the building. I had half an hour to talk to Wolfy.

"Wolfy, do you think he looks familiar?" I enquired.

"Nope. Lets just leave him alone, Katie. Why do you even want to always attack the nightguards?" Wolfy replied.

"Because I always feel like they are HIM!" I hissed. If you don't know what I mean by, HIM, well, lemme explain. So, we don't exactly know the killers name, so we call him, HIM. I always just get the feeling the nightguard is HIM, so my friends and I always attack them. 

"Katie, he is gone. He is never gonna come back. Do you want us to get thrown out, on to the streets? You have already put the words, "YOU DID THIS" all over the walls!" Wolfy spat.

"No! I don't want that! Also, when did I do that?!" I questioned. 

"You do it, like, every week!" Wolfy answered.

"Would you two shut up!" Crystal roared. Wolfy and I stayed silent. Soon came 6am. Finally, we could move our arms! In a matter of seconds, kids burst into the Restraunt. Wolfy and I began to sing songs and tell jokes. 

"But I'm weak, and what's wrong with that!" We sang softly. The kids laughed, sang along, and played. Foxlee was always in the library, reading some of the children stories. Crystal has her own stage, where she went on mining trips to find gems. Well, not really. It was just pretend. I love pretending! Will passed out some food to the kids and their parents. It was a Restraunt after all. A little while later, the curtains closed at our stage. This happened so that Foxlee and Crystal had a time to shine. We heard Foxlee reading stories and teaching toddlers nursery rhymes. Crystal was also performing. 

"What type of gem did you find?" Crystal asked a little girl. 

"I think it's a diamond." The girl replied.

"Good job!" Crystal smiled. Obviously that smile was fake. All the smiles that come from us animatronics are fake. We all just want our souls to be free and sent to heaven. At around 4:00pm, the curtains at our stage opened up again. It was time to perform. I was so excited for tonight. Finally, I would get to have a bit of fun again...
