The Life Behind an Animatronic IV- Solace

Chapter 5- Prove It

The brown bear who looked like Funtime Freddy looked at the yellow rabbit animatronic. He said something I could barely make out, but was able to anyway.

"What on earth is that sitting on the counter?" He asked. The yellow animatronic held up a hand to stop him, and then slowly approached me.

"H-Hey there, who are you?" They asked. Both were male. Upon closer look, I saw the yellow animatronic had a dark bowtie, green eyes that had a friendly look. I felt like I could trust him.

"Oh, uh, I'm Ennard. I came to find you." I replied. I set the can down and presented the newspaper photo to him. He took it from me and investigated, then showed it to the Freddy animatronic who was sidling near him. They both furrowed their brows and looked at me.

"This is years old. Where'd you find this?" The brown bear asked.

"In my old home. I found a stack of newspaper and needed that to find you." I replied. I took another scoop of red, thick liquid and brought it to my mouth again. The two seemed shocked I was doing that.

"You...why are you eating?" The yellow rabbit questioned. I found that question kind of stupid, so I frowned.

"I'm hungry...I figured you guys wouldn't miss a can. I can put it back if you want." I responded. The yellow rabbit just chuckled.

"N-No, we don't need you to do that. You might as well finish that can." He said. I smiled and continued scooping out from it. The rabbit took the bear by the shoulder and turned and walked a little bit away. They spoke in quiet whispers, but I managed to pick a few up.

"Is this some trick by the Nightmarionne? He doesn't seem threatening at all..." The rabbit said.

"It has to be. This is too weird. We should make it leave." The bear replied harshly. The rabbit frowned and turned to look at me again.

"Where are you from, Ennard?" He asked.

"The Underground." I replied. The two looked confused.

"Where is this 'Underground?'" He questioned. I furrowed my brow in thought.

"I can't really say. It's further from here, that's for sure, but I don't know exactly where." I muttered. The yellow rabbit smiled, albeit a bit sadly. I looked at him and realized he hadn't told me his name.

"What's your name?" I asked. The yellow rabbit blinked in surprise, as if he had forgotten to tell me.

"Oh, uh, my name is Spring Bonnie. This is Freddy." He replied. The brown bear shot him a look as if he didn't want his name revealed, but it was pretty easy to guess. What shocked me was that there was more than one Freddy.

"Oh, I know a Freddy! His name is Funtime Freddy. He's back in the Underground. I went out to find help because my friends want to have me Scooped." I said eagerly. Spring Bonnie and Freddy stared at me in utter confusion.

"Ennard...can I ask you something?" Spring Bonnie asked, seeming to completely disregard my previous statement. I nodded as I began to just take the can and drink the liquid like a soup.

"Are you an...agent of the Nightmarionne?" He interrogated. Freddy threw his hands up in the air in frustration.

"I don't know who that is. That does sound like a sinister name though." I replied. Spring Bonnie nodded once. I was about to ask more questions when I felt a terrible stab in my side. I dropped the can, spilling the contents on the floor and clutching it, groaning. I collapsed to the ground, the pain unbearable. Freddy took a few steps back, but Spring Bonnie looked at me with concern. He knelt down and grabbed the bandages and began to carefully unwrap them.
