Masked Souls

At the next night, the second shift of Vanessa.

00:03 am

SpringBonnie continues doing what he is used to do. Clean and act as night guard, despite what Henry told him the before day.

As SpringBonnie realizes tasks, Vanessa seems to be taking some time to be there, despite her shift already started. SpringBonnie thinks that maybe she decided to quit after her first night, what would be good for him, as he wanted, but after a slight moment, the entrance doors open, and hears steps going in.

SpringBonnie remains with his tasks, but observing, and sees how Vanessa is entering, along another person, someone who seems more older than Vanessa.

Vanessa continues her way, but before going through the hallway towards the office, waves and gives a good night to SpringBonnie, while continues cleaning, and staring at both. The other person, who might be the janitor, remains surprised and looking at SpringBonnie, while walks back, but seeing SpringBonnie already having some tools to clean, as is cleaning the tables and the floor around the Main party room, he decides to check, in search of other tools where the Janitor's storage room is, but he doesn't really know where that room is, only by what remembers what Henry told him when hired him.

After a moment, he manages to easily find the Janitor's storage room, grabbing something to clean, either the floor, or anything, but there wasn't extra tools, and SpringBonnie seemed to have the tools.

Vanessa, checking the cameras, observes the Main party room, and sees the janitor slowly approaching SpringBonnie, obviously with fear, but thinking is just a robot.

Once he approaches SpringBonnie, SpringBonnie stares at him. The janitor gets surprised, but still goes to try grabbing the mop, as SpringBonnie was cleaning the tables, but before he could reach, in a sudden, SpringBonnie grabs his right arm with his left hand.

Vanessa knows how may end, as probably same as was for her, so she instantly goes, but while she runs, the janitor gets more scared by the sudden move of SpringBonnie, who is only staring at him, while keeps the grip. Suddenly, they hear Vanessa's voice, yelling "¡Wait!", what intrigues SpringBonnie for what would she want.

After a moment, Vanessa managed to make SpringBonnie not kill the janitor, but SpringBonnie seems hesitant about having in the night both of them, not liking even the least to be with them, but respects Henry's decision. At least for now he does.

SpringBonnie decides to let the janitor clean, but observes him to make sure is doing what he has to do and correctly.

As the night passes, the janitor tries his best, knowing SpringBonnie is constantly observing him. Easy to notice, as SpringBonnie is not even trying to hide it. Vanessa being very bored, is intrigued to interact with SpringBonnie to know more about this robot, and the human eye and the flesh she saw yesterday.

After a moment, Vanessa reaches the Main party room, seeing how awkward is the situation, as SpringBonnie doesn't seem to stop staring with careless the janitor while tries to clean the tables.

Vanessa approaches SpringBonnie, who hesitates if change of who to look at, if continue staring at the janitor, or look at Vanessa. SpringBonnie hesitates for a moment, before decides to turn and look at Vanessa.

Vanessa: "Alright, you understand what I say, and much more, but can you talk?"

SpringBonnie doesn't answer, only stares at Vanessa, his pupils are red with blue outlines, meaning he is prepared for an attack, but curious, so he will remain analyzing.

Vanessa: "I guess you don't. You're a very weird robot, how are you still working? Shouldn't you be recharging? Are you malfunctioning or something? Or is a weird prank?

SpringBonnie remains silent, staring, not caring even the least, what makes Vanessa gets slightly frustrated.

Meanwhile, somewhere far away, the construction of two different locations was finished, a new Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria, and the Fazbear Jr's Pizzeria. Stephen wanted to give a direct attack at Michael and Henry, financially, and went straight highly on it, but that wasn't all in the plan. Something more was for happen soon, and was gonna heat the problems until they all melt into the chaos.

Vanessa while being getting frustrated, accidentally acts overconfident with him, trying to push with a slap on his left shoulder, something she doesn't think, but do, while SpringBonnie remains still, but not taking her way of be, neither how she is getting comfortable so quickly and acting like having the grip on the ropes or strings.

While this happens, Puppet remains in her gift box, but Charlie observing in the darkness, hiding and controlling what happens, and ready to pull the trigger if the situation requires it.

Gabriel: "Uhm, Vanessa.. I don't think it's a good idea. Is dangerous."

Vanessa: "Oh, please. Don't worry, I know someone is hiding inside this suit. It has to be a simple prank to fool us. There may be the robot, and this suit, or just him overworking and not liking anyone."

Gabriel: "Well.. I'm not sure, but if you think so..."

Suddenly, SpringBonnie gives up on caring about Henry's decision, and grabs Vanessa's neck with his right hand, and easily lifts her up. Once her face is barely in front of he's, she sees how his pupils are red, with purple outlines.

SpringBonnie (Raziel): "Shut. Up."

His voice despite being half robotic, sounds more deep than any robot voice, and half male. But before Vanessa tries to put his voice as of someone with a deep voice inside the suit, SpringBonnie suddenly throws her, crashing against the wall, and then falling down.

Gabriel drops the tools, and instantly goes towards Vanessa, while SpringBonnie slowly takes step by step, while his head glitches, struggling as also seems more menacing than before, but that's a visual effect of his red eyes, creating an hallucination of everything be slightly darker and him more menacing.

SpringBonnie stops in front of both, staring at both.

SpringBonnie (Raziel): "You two are unnecessary. I can handle everything myself. So don't feel welcomed, and much less comfortable. You have a purpose, focus on it, or leave."

Suddenly, the entrance door breaks, what takes their attention, but SpringBonnie instantly goes through the Main party room to go to the entrance, and waits near to see if someone enters, and a group of three robbers slowly enter the Main party room, and quickly, SpringBonnie gets behind them and grabs the head of two of them, and crashes the heads with the grip.

The third robber tries to run away, more inside the pizzeria as SpringBonnie is blocking the way, but quickly falls down as SpringBonnie throws the bodies of the two robbers he just killed.

Gabriel observes how SpringBonnie just killed two robbers, and was for the third, and unable to do anything else, sees it happen. Vanessa slowly gets up, but can't as Gabriel is unabling her to do so, not wanting her to see what's going on.

Gabriel sees how SpringBonnie charges the three robbers, and starts walking, entering the hallway where are the Storage room and the Janitor's storage room. He then gets up, letting Vanessa to also getting up.

Vanessa: "What was that for?"

Gabriel: "We have to get out, now!"

Gabriel grabs her right hand with his left hand, and drags her to go with him, and leave the place.

Vanessa: "Hey, hey!, stop for a moment!"

Vanessa struggles and quits his hand in grabbing her right hand, slightly embarrassed, confronts Gabriel.

Vanessa: "What is your problem? First you get up of me, and now you try to take me out?!"

Gabriel: "You don't get it. Look over there!"

Gabriel points to the blood around the floor, near tables and chairs near the entrance way.

Gabriel: "That robot just killed three guys as nothing. That thing is a killer machine, and we have to leave!"

Vanessa shakes her head, is true after all, as she was about to die yesterday, and almost the same for Gabriel today, and she also got thrown without any care, and now sees the blood.

Without losing any more time, both run towards the entrance, but as they enter the entrance, suddenly, both feel knocked, as everything starts to blur and both feel dizzy, as they feel getting cold, and their bodies slightly heavier and heavier. Both look at each other, wondering what's going on, while hear the metal steps coming for them, but neither of both seems able to flee, and soon enough, two red pupils appear in the darkness of their view, and in an instant, Gabriel is jump-scared by SpringBonnie's jump, and getting his head crashed in half by SpringBonnie's mouth, dying instantly.

Vanessa feels fear and emptiness, as if is slowly being drowned and if something was emptying her from inside. SpringBonnie stares at her, seeing how much white orbs leave her body, flying away inside the pizzeria, and then sees Puppet floating nearby.

SpringBonnie turned to look at Vanessa, and then, grabbed her and the dead Gabriel's body, taking both to the laboratory inside the pizzeria.

In the morning, despite customers are already inside the pizzeria, both Billy and Fred/ SpringBonnie and Fredbear, are busy, but apart of the employees in the kitchen, and few guards, Michael Afton was along Puppet in the lab.

Vanessa, with a blurry vision and disoriented, couldn't understand what was going on.

Michael Afton: "You finally wake up. It's quite a shame you have to see this, but was what we wanted. Listen, Henry wants you alive, but neither Billy, Puppet, and me, want you. You have two options, do a specific contract with me, or serve as menu."

Vanessa: "Serve as menu? Wait, what do you mean?"

Michael looks at Puppet, hesitating if should or not tell her anything else, as seems that was much more than enough for her to know.

Michael Afton: "Nothing you should know. Now, select. What will be your choice?"

Vanessa: "I... I think contract... I don't think I wanna know how I could serve as menu."

Michael Afton: "Good, good. You don't really know what you got out from yourself with that choice. Puppet, go tell Billy, I'll be on the contract."

Puppet nods, and flied away, while Michael grabbed a portfolio from up of a table, and a pen, placing them on her lap. After quitting the ropes handcuffing her arms and hands, she sighed and signed the contract, not reading what it was about, but with fear and thinking that was sign or worse.

The contract was unknown for her, but without any other option, she didn't even care in read, and just did what she could, sign. Michael, slightly satisfied, he freed her, and slowly she got up, while stretching out her hands.
