I was attracted to it. Like a moth is to light. It was a green. And small. And around the wrist of a child.
The child was banging on the window out the lobby in an attempt to reach someone on the inside. It was raining and the child was drenched. But I was more concerned with the green light around her wrist. I walked towards the door to let her inside.
Following my programming to be nice to anyone who walks through our down, I say,
"Welcome!"
The child looks at me and runs. It don't know why. To I look normal. I have always looked this way. Thin limbs and constant smiling face. No emotions. No decisions.
I follow the child with the green light into the rain. I can feel my wires begin to sizzle, and my vision becomes fuzzy. I hear a skid and thud. A car turns the corner and leaves. My Master is driving away. My systems begin to fail as I walk around the corner.
The child is lying in the middle road. With a gaping hole is her forehead, the blood staining the puddles red. I fall down beside her as the remnants of my system breaks. And my vision is lost.
I wake up later. I mustn't have been to long as the rain is still pouring. I stand up slowly and realised something very quickly. I made that decision. Did the rain over ride my system? I giggle at the thought of having control over my movements and mind, and slam my hands over my mouth.
My voice. It is the voice of a child's. I look and the limp body next to me and turn the body over. Child had no eyes. Shocked, I ran inside. The realisation that I had absorbed the child's soal was frightening.
I began to calm down. Can I do the same to help my friends? Can they absorb the soals of children as well. I gathered up my friends body parts and rebuilt them. Going into my Masters office, I found his of killings. Four children, murdered by him at this facility.
I took the corpses and laid them down beside each robotic body. And then sat down in the middle of the room. Waiting.
After about 5 minutes, a blue ball of light rose from the bodies of the childern, and then fell into my friends chests. They stood up in the dark room looked at me.
"What's going on?" Said a confused voice from the back corner of the room. I turned on the lights and saw my friends standing there. Foxy, Chicka and Bonnie were in front of me. Freddy was behind me.
"What is going on, Puppet?"
