Freddy walked around the small room for a while before finding a single lightswitch, which he turned on.  A single lightbulb, flickering on and off in the middle of the room finally made it able to see.

The parts and services room was old and dingy looking, paint peeling off the walls and covering the floor.  Dust filled the air, enough to give the room a smoky look to it.

Overall, the entire room was very sad, and gloomy.  I wished I hadn't said whatever I did, because now I really wanted to escape.

Freddy turned back to me, his endoskeleton eyes glowing slightly in the dim light.

"Gold should be around here."  Freddy said.  It seemed it wasn't really paying attention.  "You can't really miss him.  To be honest...I don't really watch him as much as I should."

"And he can tell me about Fredbear's Family Diner, right?"  I asked.

"If he feels like answering your questions."  Freddy replied, sitting down against a wall.  The gears in his leg joints squeaked painfully.  "Just don't bombard 'em with all those questions all at once."

"...'Them?'  What do you mean...?"  I asked.  I hope I had just misheard him, because what would he mean by 'them'?

"Who are you?"  A shy voice asked.  I turned around to see a young girl standing behind me, with long light brown hair down to her knees.  She wore a plain white dress with spaghetti straps that went to her mid thighs, with a strange expression on her face, as if she had no emotion.  On her right wrist was a dark green chain, and on the other end of that chain was a golden Freddy Fazbear suit, limp and lifeless looking.  Yet, there was a strange air about it, as if it was thinking.

Like the puppet.

Always...thinking...

"My name is Vixen."  I said.  The girl nodded.

"You're one of the toy animatronics."  She replied.  Her voice seemed to be full of emotion, despite her looks.  She seemed curious, not bitter, unlike everyone else.  "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here for answers."  I said shortly.  "I seem to have another side to me, a side I don't have any control or recollection over."

"That should be impossible..."  A gruff, male voice said.  The golden Freddy suit moved its head slightly.  "Only I have had that occur to me."

"So, you're the one they call Gold, I'm guessing?"  I asked.  He nodded.  "To be honest, I wasn't expecting you to be...sentient."

"I was the spirit trapped inside Golden Freddy."  The girl explained.  "I could hear his voice inside his head.  Then..."  She sighed heavily.  "I don't remember anything before I found myself chained to him.  In fact, the only reason why I know about my identity is because Freddy told me."

"In short, there used to be two souls trapped inside this suit."  Golden Freddy summarized.  "Or, so it seems.  I, too, have no memory to call my own."

"So, you're thinking that there's two souls inside my body?"  I asked.  "But, how?"

"That is actually a good question, Gold."  Chica said, walking up.  "The Joy of Creation...wouldn't we know if that happened again?"

"Well, what if it's not another soul, but her true personality?"  Bonnie asked.  "After all, the Toys were programmed with personalities."

"So, there's a soul and her personality, and they're fighting for dominance."  Anya clarified.  "That makes sense.  But, still, Chica brings up a good point.  The Purple Man...we did get rid of him, right?  Not to mention the fact that we should've known if there was another act of the Joy of Creation."

"I think there's a guard somewhere at night."  I said.  It felt like I was being left out of the conversation somehow.

"Thanks."  Chica said.  "We'll start doing recon soon, then.  See if the guard's any threat.  Freddy, anything else to add?  You've been rather quiet."

"I'm fine."  Freddy grunted.  "Foxy, you're the fastest of all of us.  You take first watch starting tomorrow.  Be careful of the other Toys.  They might start picking up on our plan.  If the Purple Man really is out there, we're going to need to be cautious.  We can't protect the children, but we do have an ally who can."

I felt my cheeks light up with happiness.  I was an ally!  One of them!

But, still...something didn't seem right...

"Um, who exactly is the Purple Man?"  I asked.  "And what is the Joy of Creation?  You've mentioned this several times, but I don't understand it..."

Bonnie opened the door and looked out.  "No time to explain that.  It's nearly dawn.  You'd better get back to where you came from."

I nodded.  "So, we'll talk once night falls again?"  Bonnie nodded and gently pushed me out the parts and services room.  As I turned around, it was then I noticed that Bonnie actually didn't have a face.  Even the metal faceplate on his endoskeleton was gone.  It was then that I realized that it wasn't just Bonnie who was ruined.  All of them were in bad condition.

These were the former puppets.  The ones who had been set free long ago.

The new puppets were treated as special things, like they were above the ones who managed to fall out of the clutches of the puppet master.

The puppets who were set free...they were ruined.  Destroyed.

Left to die forever.

I had to set the new puppets free.

I had no choice but to.

It was the only thing way to make everything right, after all.

When I got back to Kid's Cove, I was welcomed back to the familiar sights of my former life.  It felt like it was so long ago, when I was just telling stories to kids and not having to worry about Fredbear's Family Diner, or the Joy of Creation, or anything else.

It felt so...hollow, so fake now.

When the kids came running around, laughing and talking, I just sat down in a corner, thinking.  My other side was getting out of hand.  I was aware of that.  I didn't even know what I was thinking half the time anymore.  Was this the "soul" inside of me trying to come out?  But, why, and what for?

No, this isn't your soul.

A voice inside my head?

Do you know me?  The voice continued.  Do you remember me?

"No."  I whispered.  "I've never heard you before today."

Close your eyes.  The voice replied.  You can see me that way.

I wasn't sure why, but I felt I had no choice but to.  I closed my eyes, and let myself be suspended in darkness.  A mysterious figure that looked almost like me was standing there, almost floating in the air.  When she moved, she drifted through the nothingness with ease.

"Are you Vixen?"  I asked her.  Her fur was slightly darker than mine, and covered in bloodstains.  A trail of darkness followed her as she came towards me and held my hands.

"Vixen...?"  The mysterious figure asked.  She seemed puzzled.  "Is that the name they gave you in this world?"

"It's the name I've always had, isn't it?"  I replied.  "I...am Vixen."  The mysterious figure sighed and smiled.

"So, it's true, then."  She said.  "You've truly...forgotten everything..."  She let go of my hands and held me close.  "That's good.  You were supposed to."

"But, who are you?"  I finally asked.  "I'm lost.  I don't..."

"You will remember everything in time."  The mysterious figure answered.  "I will help you.  After all, I...am you.  I am Vixen."

"So, are we the same?"  I asked.  The darkness was fading.  Being replaced with light.

"Yes."  The mysterious figure said.  Her final words lingered in the air around me as I opened my eyes to let in the light.

"You and I are one and the same."

And with those words, I received my first memory, an image of a young girl with wild long hair, put in a high ponytail and wearing boyish clothes with a pair of goggles around her neck...

I'm sorry for not updating in forever.

I meant to, but I just got busy with everything, and I didn't really have time to write, not only this, but just in general.

I'm hoping to get more out soon, but I'm not sure.
