Meeting an Afton

Road to Recovery part 4: The Pets

Hey guys. So yes, the pets are next. Now I just want to point something out. For this chapter I gave the pets dialogue. Now the reason I did this was because I felt that it would be easier than just writing the words 'bark' or 'meow' or 'chirp' or whatever sound a hamster makes. So that is the only reason I did this. Also I have something to tell you guys. Now I'm going to try something different for the disclaimer. Bear with me on this. (Elizabeth's voice) The following is a non-profit fanbase fanfic. Give Nights at Freddy's and its characters are all owned by Scott Cawthon. What did guys think? Let me know in the comments. Now, on with the chapter.

Chapter 17

Coraline rested on Elizabeth's bed with content. This was the first time in a while that she had been able to relax. Elizabeth currently wasn't home because she was with the boys at the mall. From what she understood, they wanted to get her some more things to entertain herself with. While Coraline didn't fully understand why the boys wanted to get her more stuff after what happened last time, she could tell that they were trying their best to help her. And this was something Coraline was grateful for. It gave her a peace of mind knowing that Elizabeth was in good hands.

As Coraline lay on the bed, she heard a noise coming from downstairs. At first she thought that the humans came home. But then she realized that it was still too early for the humans to come home. So, being a dog, she couldn't help but feel the need to investigate. This was her house now and she had to defend it. As she made her way downstairs, she saw that the noise she heard wasn't an intruder. The noise was coming from that weird flat picture thing that the humans stared at. What was it called? She believed that they called it a television. As she walked into the room, she saw that the T.V. was indeed on, but was kinda surprised to see who was watching it. As she looked towards the thing that humans called a couch, she was shocked to see Cassy, Wendy, and Gab sitting on the couch watching T.V. with Cassy in control of the remote.

"Hey guys." Coraline greeted. "What are you guys doing?"

"Oh, hey Coraline." Cassy meowed. "I actually forgot you were here. You're usually upstairs in Elizabeth's room."

"Yeah buddy. What brings you down here?" Wendy asked.

"I was in Elizabeth's room when I heard a noise." Coraline explained.

"Oh, sorry about that. We were just watching T.V. Sorry for disturbing you." Gab apologized.

"It's all good." Coraline told them. "Well, I guess I'll head back upstairs since everything is ok down here." As Coraline turned to make her way upstairs, Cassy suddenly stopped her.

"Hey Coraline, why don't you join us?" Cassy suggested.

"Yeah dude. We hardly ever see you." Gab added.

"I don't know guys. This seems like this is your thing and I don't want to intrude." Coraline said.

"It's not a bother at all Coraline." Wendy assured the dog. "We want you to join us."

"Yeah. So please. Have a seat." Cassy insisted.

Coraline thought about her options. On one paw, she could go back upstairs and sleep on Elizabeth's bed until she came home. On the other paw, this was possibly a good chance to get to know the other pets and possibly make some friends. After a few seconds of thinking and hesitation she finally made her decision.

"So, what are we watching?" Coraline asked after few seconds thinking. The pets exchanged smiles at the answer.

"We're watching the 'Animal Whisperer'." Wendy answered.

"Sounds interesting." Coraline said. "Move over. I'm climbing up." With that, Coraline jumped onto the couch and sat between Cassy and Gab. "So how often do you guys do this?"
