Metal Souls

Trying Again

Bonnie POV

I was walking back and forth on the stage with my hands behind my back. Chica meanwhile had her legs on table and leaning back in the chair with her hands on her lap.

Chica: Can you stop? You're making me anxious.

Me: He's been in there for hours.

Chica: Then we will wait a few more.

Me: You can't be serious.

Chica: We all needed to take time at first. So we need to respect him and let him have the same.

Me: That was until we took the screws out of our brains and let each other help one another.

Chica: Well what do you plan to do? Pull a "G." move and magically make the doors open?

I stopped pacing as I turned slowly to look at her. She raised a brow and crossed her arms.

Chica: What?

Me: I'm going to make the doors open.

I jumped off the stage as I went to the storage room.

Chica: How you can't do that unle- Wait a minute. Hey!

She got up into her feet running up behind me as I kept walking.

Chica: You can't just cut the power! That'll screw the whole building!

Me: That's why I'm not gonna cut it. I'm going to overload it.

Chica: Are you kidding me? You'll reset your whole body! You won't be able to move for who knows how long!

Me: Then you better be able to get in there and pull him out when I do.

As I was about to open the door. Freddy opened it on the other side.

Freddy: What are you two doing?

Me: I'm making a move.

Freddy: The hell is that supposed to mean?

Moving past her I went to the door in the back of the storage room.

Freddy: She's still asleep in there.

Chica: She's not going in there for her.

Freddy: What?

Chica: She's going to overload the generator.

Freddy: Have you lost your circuits!?

Bonnie: What? Worst case scenario I can't move for a couple days.

I said ad we descended down the stairs as they kept trying to talk me out of it.

Freddy: No. Worst case scenario is that you can't move permanently!

Bonnie: So what? We can find parts for replacement.

Opening the basement door I stopped seeing her laying on the ground in the shadows. Without even moving the slightest since the last time I saw her.

Me: I'm guessing she didn't say anything to you.

Freddy: Not a peep...

Me: ...She'll come around one day. Look guys. He's the one shot with no strings attached that can help us. Plus we know what Freddy saw he needs it too.

Chica: Is there really no other way?

Me: You know me. I'm not really a patient woman. Now who's going back upstairs to grab him from the office?

Freddy: (sigh) I will. Chica just pull her out before she blows a fuse okay?

She rolled her eyes before leaving and going back upstairs. I took the plastic off my hands as as I removed the cover to the central power.

Me: I just gotta put some power in my hands and then-

My hands now buzzing with electricity I reached far back into the generator until my whole body shook. The lights flickered as I started to lose control.

Chica: Bonnie!

She pulled me back as the lights when out. Her eyes lit up shining down on my face as she held me on her lap.

Chica: You okay?

Me: Didn't feel a thing... But I think I'm going to lay here a bit.

Chica: Or I can take you back up stairs to charge before your body needs a new battery.

Me: ...That can work as well.

Your POV

Me: You both used me! One of you treated me like a lab rat and the other as a toy!

Mom: Honey. You know we love you.

Me: You two have some so fucking twisted in your minds that you convinced yourselves about what you're doing is just nature.

Dad: I guess I forgot how to teach you how business works.

Me: Just leave me. The FUCK. ALONE!

As I banged my hands on the desk as the room suddenly went dark. I looked around as the doors opened up. Going to each one I pressed both of the doors buttons. Getting no reaction out if either. I sighed putting my hands back on the desk looking down.

Me: ... Just leave me alone okay. I'll be gone tomorrow. Just like you wanted.

Freddy: You don't have to leave. Look can we just talk?

Me: I rather you'd just kill me.

Freddy: Look. Bonnie just could've just gave up movement entirely tonight just so we can talk to you. So you can either be stubborn or listen to what you have to say.

Leaning over I rubbed my eyes before standing up straight.

Me: Go ahead.

Freddy: Stay. You don't need to leave. We'll keep our distance until you feel comfortable. You don't have to explain anymore of what happened to you.

Me: ... I.

I don't really have a choice. Rent is due soon. It'll take who knows how long to find another job.

Me: It's a deal...

Freddy: Good... I'll tell the others. Do you-

Me: Just-!

I raised one hand up before slowly putting it back down breathing.

Me: I'm sorry. I just (sigh) I need to go. I'll be back soon.

I said stepping towards the other door as her eyes remained on me.

Freddy: Take as much time as you need.
