Exploring The Pizzaplex With Some Guy Named Michael

-- Falling, (well almost) --

Chapter Nine
 

(Michael's POV)

"I know you're hiding something from me," Lev whispered into my ear. "W-what do you mean?" I respond warily. A million thoughts rushed through my head. Does Lev know something? Have they found out one of my secrets? I have too many to know which one they might have discovered. "If you dont tell me whats going on im not helping you up." They said. What the hell?! Ive never seen this side of Lev before. They looked completely serious when they said they were going to leave me for dead. Is this what I get for finally trusting someone?

(Lev's POV)

"What do you want to know?" Michael says. The look on his face is making my stomach turn with guilt. He looks absolutely betrayed. I didnt even know myself if I was going to let him fall or not.

"Everything." I said, "I want to know why there's purple showing every time you rub your skin against something. I want to know why you look at the animatronic's faces in that blob over there that way, like you know something about them that I dont. I want to know why that kid that we dont even know the name of is so familiar to you! And I want to know why you are so scared of the place were in right now, and why you looked so shocked when I told you I saw a purple light coming from the charging station!"

Michael chewed on his bottom lip and looked away. "I knew I couldnt keep this from you forever. From the start you were very clever after all." Michael smiled warily. His fingers started to slip off the ledge more and more, and one hand was completely off now. He was online hanging by one hand. "Hurry up and tell me!" I said, panicking. I guess I didnt want him to fall after all. "You probably wont believe me but... I believe my father was the one inside the charging station." he said. "Ok.. is your father an animatronic? Is that even possible?!" I asked. "No, but yes at the same time. He got fused to an animatronic suit after a springlock failure." springlock failure. Wow, didnt that sound familiar. The thing that led to all those safety videos and banning and discontinuing the use of springlock suits overall. But what caused all that? A man dying very, very, very, very long ago.

"Uhh Michael the springlock incident was ages ago, what to you mean he was your father?!" I said, very confused. "Hes immortal." Michael responded. "Okay now you're just saying bullcrap. Immortality isnt a real thing, its not possible!" "does my purple skin seem possible to you?" Michael said. I went silent. "My father... His name is William Afton-" "WOAH WOAH WOAH. THE SERIAL KILLER?!" I blurted out. "MAY I SPEAK? IM GOING TO FALL AND DIE IF I DONT HURRY UP!" oh. I had almost forgotten about Michaels current situation. I grabbed his hand and lifted him up leaving him laying flat on the ground, breathing heavily. He tried to get up, but I stopped him. "Oh no you dont. Im not losing this chance to get an explanation, especially after you said that!" I said, lowering my knee, pushing down on his chest, while slamming my hand on the ground next to him, towering over him.

(3rd Person POV)

Lev was just keeping Michael down, but from his point of view, it was more than that. Their hair was falling down, eyes staring right into his. Michael was tempted to push a strand of hair blocking Lev's eye back. But he just ended up getting extremely flustered and just having his mouth go dry, and losing his ability to move instead. I mean at least Levs tactic was working, he wasnt going anywhere, and probably didnt want to.
