Jeremy's POV
I sat there staring into the mask of the Marionette dumb founded of why I'm not dead yet.
"Sing," he demanded again, his voice not as raspy this time. I open my mouth and begin the lullaby my mom would sing to me.
Arms that keep you safe and warm,
They will protect you from the storm.
Sleep child sleep
Sleep child sleep
And when you wake
Your fears will go away.
Dream of birds and rainbows too.
Please just know I'm here for you.
Sleep child sleep
Sleep child sleep
And when you wake
Your fears will go away.
He sat on the ground in front of me, crossing his long striped legs. I sang that over and over and slowly the Marionette started humming along with me swaying slightly. His head slowly started dropping and his soft humming stopped. His head dropped into my lap causing me to falter in my song. He stirred and mumbled something so I quickly continued my song. The hours ticked by slowly and soon it was 5:45.
Toy Chica stuck her head in here and I froze, waking Marionette up.
"Marionette," she said fitting her beak back onto her face. "It's-" she stops when she sees me still alive.
Marionette's POV
Toy Chica looked at me angrily.
"Why isn't the night guard dead?" She asks and I sigh.
"I don't wanna kill him," I said. "He has such a pretty song." Her eyes widen with disbelief.
"You didn't kill him because of a song?!" She asked her voice getting higher pitched with each word. Such an ugly sound.
"Yes," I said standing up angrily. "Do you have a problem with that?"
She hold her hands up.
"I may not," she says. "But just wait til the originals hear about this." She turns and races down the halls. Behind me the Night Guard coughs. I turn to him.
"Thank you," he says looking down at his feet. His voice is sweet and lyrical. A light tenor that pleases my ears. I smile slightly behind my mask.
"If there's any way I can repay you-" he started but I interrupted him.
"Just come visit me," I said. "Today during the day." He starts a little surprised by my response but he nods slowly.
"O-okay," he said a little bit of pink spreading across his cheeks. The clock strikes six and I leave for my box smiling widely behind my mask.
