She Fixed Them - So They Kept Her

Chapter 3 of 3

Frowning at Bonnie Jenny shook her head still not understanding what he was trying to explain. For over a week he had been taking her aside, trying to explain why she should not go near the basement and ignore the noises she was hearing. Until finally he began telling her stories of when their creator was alive, clearly trying to avoid telling her something though. "I still don't get it. The man who made you sounded nice, but you keep telling me he was mad" Leaning forward on the chair, Jenny made sure to lock eyes with the purple haired man in front of her. "Plus you said he made monsters... none of them sound like any of you guys though. So who are you talking about?" Bonnie sighed at her quiet question, he had been trying to avoid telling her the truth but he was running out of ideas. A few days ago he had given her tools back to Jenny and he knew she was dying to try again, but thankfully Mangle's presence had stopped any attempts she had yet to try. Leaning back Bonnie looked around, his pink eyes ensuring none of the other animatronics were present. He knew they would beat him for what he was about to do, even if it might be the only option to keep Jenny from harm. She didn't realise the monsters who were below her were making the calls she heard - or just how dangerous they were. "Jenny you need to understand we were all made with good intension, but something dark is inside us that turned us into something else. And with each new design our creator was more... adventurous. But some of his final characters were darker than even he wanted them to be, one of them isn't even fully like us anymore" Tilting her head Jenny wondered what he meant until it hit her. There was one story of an animatronic suit made which was too dangerous to wear, it had spread around before the pizzeria even closed. But no one said anything about it again until after the building was abandoned. After that people said a murdered was stupid enough to try and wear it hiding from his own mad mind screaming at him, which of course killed him. Not daring to look up at Bonnie as she swallowed lightly, finally managing to whisper the question that kept turning in her mind. "Y-you mean Springtrap right?" The reaction was immediate as the name entered the room, Bonnie's eyes widened as he stood the chair he had been using scooting back loudly. Jenny jumped not sure what to make of the purple haired man's sudden change in behaviour, he had never showed her this side of him before in his human like form and it was unsettling.

"How do you know that name?" Bonnie's voice was a harsh whisper, but his eyes shouted at Jenny to respond and tell him what he wanted. Not sure why he was so upset Jenny's reply stalled in her throat, sadly that triggered the man before her to spring forward. His hands took hold of Jenny by her shoulders forcing her to stand, the slight sting of his overly strong hold making her cry out in shock. The sound was followed by running feet but the sound didn't seem to reach Bonnie's ears, his pink eyes bore down on Jenny in seemingly mild panic. "How do you know that name?!" Hands pried Bonnie from Jenny as he shook her trying to get an answer. Chica and Foxy took Jenny moving her away as Bonnie struggled in Freddie's grip, Mangle at his front all but snarling in his face. Jenny moved into Foxy's protective hold as he glared over her, Chica's hand stroking over her hair as she listened to the arguing trio ahead of her. Bonnie had been shoved away with the two now human like animatronics blocking his way, his insistent attempts to explain why he needed to get an answer cut off. "What were you doing Bonnie, you could have hurt her?!" Freddie's authorative tone cut the air like a blade stilling everyone, but Bonnie quickly recovered looking away slightly seemingly guilty but defiant. "Jenny...she knows about him" Mangle glanced at Jenny who watched on confused, she still didn't understand why the usually calm rabbit reacted that way. Slowly Mangle turned back to Bonnie. "Him?" Bonnie nodded locking eyes with Freddie letting the name out in a hoarse whisper. "Springtrap" The name rang out in the room as if it has been screamed out, all four of the animatronics froze in shock before turning to Jenny. Slowly Mangle moved to approach Jenny but Freddie put a hand up stopping her, his steps echoing as he moved to kneel in front of her eyes. There was no harshness in them like when he might usual approach her this way to reprimand her, instead he seemed almost worried and apprehensive. "Jenny how do you know that name?" Turning Jenny almost left Foxy's arms, but his hand and hook remained gently holding her in the cocoon of his arms. She didn't mind feeling safe in his hold, so settling back against his chest Jenny slowly looked between the five. "People tell scary stories about him in the back alleys, they said he was a murderer before he died in a faulty animatronic suit that no one was suppose to find" All eyes went to Freddie in concern and fear as he continued to gazes with Jenny, his calm exterior hiding nothing from the other animatronics. Tension rolled from him in almost invisible waves infecting the others like a virus into their circuits. Standing tall Freddie turned to look at Mangle who nodded sadly before turning back to Jenny, his voice suddenly very solemn as if addressing a serious matter. "Jenny – I think its time we told you a little story. Its time you realised there are monsters more dangerous than us lurking in these walls" Shivering in Foxy's arms Jenny simply listened not sure what he meant... that was until he and Mangle began spinning their tale. Her skin went pale and silently Jenny promised herself to ignore the basement from now one, and the voices that seemed to grow ever more urgent for her to follow them.
