Dragon Spirits

Chapter 15

I woke up. I was in a dark place. I started freaking out, and it took me a few minutes to remember what happened. "L-LUNA?! W-WHERE ARE YOU?!" I screamed. "Hey hey! Kid! It's ok! I'm here! Calm down..." At the sound of her voice, I calmed down. "Where...are we? What happened?" I asked. "You fell asleep and didn't wake up. A few days later, some police officers came and found your body. They took it away...and for a while everything was silent. Finally, a couple of men came and brought us to this place...and we've been sitting here ever since. I'm surprised you slept through all that..." I looked around. We seemed to be in an old pizzeria... but I don't know of any other pizzerias...then I remembered something. "Luna...what happened after I....after I died?" I asked. Luna didn't say anything for a few minutes. "I...put your soul into the animatronic. I used my power to do it. Shadows can hold anything...transparent, I guess? (idk go with it please)"
"Why'd you do that?! I killed myself to save you! To save my family! But now you're dead, and it's all my fault!" I screamed at her. Luna stayed silent until I'd stopped my screaming. "I did it because I didn't want to lose you too..." She sounded like she was in pain. "I've lost too much already. My brothers, my parents, my rider...my mate...do you now realise how desperate I was? I didn't want lose someone else I loved." I closed my eyes, trying to stop the tears again. "I...understand Luna...but you should've just let me go to hell." I got up and tested my legs. They seemed sturdy enough. Walking around though, it didn't feel...natural.

(Time skip)

I walked around for hours. Everywhere I went, I saw old newspapers around, but they were too damaged to read. For a while, I'd felt like someone was watching me. After a little longer, I heard it. Something falling down, like someone knocked something over. "Who's there? Show yourself!" I shouted to where it came from. A head poked around the corner. It freaked me out a little, because it wasn't just any human or animal head. It...was an animatronic head. A golden, fox animatronic to be exact. "W-who the hell are you!?" I shouted once again. The fox, now seeing it was useless to hide any longer, came out. "Hi! I'm Mimi! I didn't know you were alive! It's so exciting to have someone else here!" Her attitude surprised me. The last animatronics I'd met had tried to kill me. But this one...was really nice. "She's probably only nice because you're an animatronic too." Came Luna's voice inside my head. I guess that's true... The fox 'Mimi' was still talking. "I saw them drag you in here a few years ago, but you didn't move a make a sound! I thought that you were just scrap so I left you alone! Every now and again though I'd hear something like a voice come from the room you were in so I went and checked but there was nothing there! But I wasn't scared! I'm not scared of anything! Sometimes grown ups would come and have a look but they'd leave as soon as they saw me. I don't know why though..." Wait, what? A few years ago? How old is this kid? Luna chuckled at her never ending talking. "Heh, reminds me of my little brother." I was still concerned though. "Um...Mimi?" Mimi stopped talking. "Did you...die?" Mimi tilted her head. "Well, I'm talking aren't I miss?" Luna laughed. I sighed. "How old are you?" Mimi held up her hands. "5 and a half miss! I'll be 6 soon! But I don't know when..." Luna stopped laughing now, realising what I meant by 'alive'. "Mimi...do you know what year it is?" Mimi shook her head. "No, but the newspaper should say miss! I'll go get you some I saved to read when I'm older!" She ran off. "Luna...do you think...she's dead too?" I asked her. Luna sighed. "I don't know...there's a high chance." Alright, onto other matters. I died in 1992, and Mimi said a few years ago...so what had happened in that amount of time? How long have I been asleep? Mimi came bounding back. "Here you go miss! I brought all the ones I saved!" I thanked her, then started searching. 1992...1994...1995...2000...2001...the latest one I'd found said it was 2008?! I started panicking. "Hey! Bon-bon! Calm down! No use in panicking in front of the kid." I nodded. But...2008? I must've been asleep for longer than a few years. I looked through the oldest ones. The children that had gone missing had been found in the Freddy Fazbears animatronics...tears started welling up once again. I stared at the title of the newspaper, in big, bold letters: MISSING GIRL FOUND IN FREDDY FAZBEARS PIZZERIA BACK ROOM. There was a picture of me, smiling into the camera, and another picture of Freddy's. I quickly moved onto the next one. Freddy's closed down, and was later demolished. The animatronics had all been moved to the newer, 2nd pizzeria, as scrap pieces. Candy's, another family restaurant, had closed down too, due to an accident with a worker. I hope they're ok....until finally there was a horror attraction that opened, displaying all the scraps from the Freddys Family Diner and Freddy Fazbears. Well, that should go well... I looked up at Mimi. "Mimi, do you know where we are?" She shook her head. "Well...are you all alone Mimi?" She nodded, her ears drooping a little. Then her eyes lit up once again. "Oh! I nearly forgot to ask! What's your name miss?" I said nothing. Luna noticed. "Bon-bon, what's wrong." I sighed before responding to her mentally. "I...I'm not Bonnie anymore...I want a new name." I smiled at Mimi. "I...erm...don't remember..." Mimi gasped. "You don't remember?! Then I shall give you a name! Hmm....you're a bunny...so...Bunny-ears? No no...Fluffytail? No! Hmm....I GOT IT! COTTONTAIL!" She giggled. I was confused. "Why's that?" I laughed nervously. She pointed to the tail I didn't notice. "Because! You're tail looks so fluffy! Like cotton! Can I pet it?" I nodded. Mimi's eyes nearly popped out of her head. I could hear Luna laughing her ass off. "Shut it!" I mentally cursed to her. Luna sniggered. I turned my attention back to Mimi, completely ignoring Luna. But still, there was a soft smile there. After Mimi had finished patting my tail, she decided to show me around. She must've been here a while to have memorised the whole place. It was huge!

Mimi had stopped talking now. "She must be tired." Luna said softly. "You like her then?" I asked. Luna sighed. "She...just reminds me so much of him. Always having something to say, always so excited, even for the smallest things. I just...wished I could have saved him..."
"Luna! Whatever had happened, it wasn't your fault! How long have you been blaming yourself?" I asked. "...a few hundred years...but you can't talk. You're blaming yourself for killing me." I closed my eyes. It's true, so I shouldn't be talking. "We all have something we regret don't we?" Luna decided to drop the subject, so I did too. As I opened my eyes, I caught my reflection in a puddle on the floor. A yellow, tattered bunny, with one ear missing. I sighed. Mimi turned around. "Oh! I'm sorry! You must be tired too! I'll show you where you'll sleep!" She then turned right. "Mimi, I don't think I need sleep..." I yawned. "Geez how tired are you kid?" Luna sniggered. I ignored her again. "Nonsense! Everyone needs sleep! Especially after a happy day!" I was confused. "Happy day?" I asked. Mimi nodded. "Uh huh! The day you woke up of course!" Oh...yeah...so much has happened in a short amount of time. Mimi opened a door to reveal an empty room. "Here you go! This will be your room! And...can I ask you something, Cottontail?" She asked timidly. I nodded. "Can...you be my big sister?" Tears came to my eyes, remembering Nick and Kate. "Sure, Mimi." I smiled. Mimi nearly jumped out of her robot body. "REALLY?! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! I'VE NEVER HAD A BIG SISTER BEFORE!!" She then hugged me. "Heehee! Well I better let you sleep big sis! Good night!" With that, she ran out of the room. I giggled. "She's so cute..." I then lay down. As the sleep over came me, the last thought I had was, "Wait...do robots sleep?"
