Chapter 15 : Looking Through Memories

11-29-22

Shadow Bonnie POV:

I sat in front of Glamrock Bonnie, waiting for him to turn on. Dylan and Bryan both had to leave so it was just Orville, Glamrock Bonnie, and me. Orville stared at the computer screen. Right before leaving, Bryan asked us to make sure Bonnie's code was alright. So we have a copy of what it should look like and how it looks now. Orville had been going through the code for at least 20 minutes now. "Orville, anything out of the ordinary?" I asked out of curiosity. Orville glanced toward me and then pointed to the screen. "No, but I'm tempted to look through his memory drive. Wouldn't be surprised if some new ones were added from that whole ordeal. Could you come over, I don't actually know what I'm looking for. I just see code." I raised an eyebrow and walked over to the computer, "Alright, but what makes you think I know what to find?" Orville shrugged and said, "I don't know. I assume you know more about memory stuff or whatever than I do." "Wait, why would you-. Oh, wait, never mind. I know why." Orville nodded and I sighed. "Alright, let's see if I can find anything." I began looking at files when I heard, "Bonnie Model 001, turning on." I pushed myself away from the computer and sat down in front of Glamrock Bonnie again. Orville walked over to us and disconnected the cords from Glamrock Bonnie so he didn't pull on them. After a few seconds, Glamrock Bonnie opened his eyes and groaned. He brought his hand to the side of his head and asked, "What happened? And why does my head hurt so much?" Glamrock Bonnie grimaced and hissed in pain. Orville looked at me and I took a deep breath, (Alright, time to ask some questions. Let's hope he doesn't freak out or glitch.) "Bonnie, what's the last thing you remember?" Glamrock Bonnie looked down for a moment. His expression went from confusion to fear as he grabbed me by the shoulders and frantically asked, "WHERE ARE THEY!?" "Where's who?" I asked, feeling confused. Glamrock Bonnie quickly responded, "Adrien. Where are they?" I froze, I remembered that name. The voice I heard in my head before came back, (ADRIEN?! Did he remem&*#? Hold on, you know who that is? You know too. You just don't remem&*#. What did that remnant dis<0nne<t do? You're asking as if I know. Wait, how do you know about that? You're an idiot #@$^. I was watching the whole time. I just knew how to stay quiet. Why do you keep calling me that? I don't even understand what you're saying when you say that. I'm a glitch and any names from my world that you've forgo(&^%& glitch out wh3|\| I say the|\/|. There's your answer. Now focus on Bryan, idiot.  Alright, I will. Wait, you know his name? Yes, I know his n(*&. Also, I hope you've had fun with the once-in-a-while mini flashbacks. THAT'S YOU!? The world being destroyed and you becoming a shadow wasn't me. The rest was me giving you hints as a guide. Talk to you after you're done with him. Bye. Hold on, we aren't done! And he already left, great.) Tap, tap, tap. Someone tapped my right shoulder a few times. I shook my head and saw Glamrock Bonnie moving his hand away from my shoulder along with Orville standing over me. "How long did I space out this time?" Glamrock Bonnie spoke with concern, "10 minutes. Me shaking you and saying your name didn't do anything. It wasn't until I tapped you a few times that you responded. Did you have a flashback from our old world? I-I'm sorry if I caused that but I just." "It's fine. I just wasn't expecting to hear that name. Haven't heard it in a long time. As for having flashbacks, that's a little hard to explain." I said, trying to not let Bonnie spiral into guilt-tripping himself. I knew how easy it was for him to do that. Orville asked, "Should I leave you two to talk in private? It seems like you two need to catch up." Glamrock Bonnie looked at the ground and then at me. It seemed like he was looking to me for an answer. I sighed, "Yeah, we need to talk, just the two of us. We'll come upstairs when we're done." Orville nodded and walked upstairs. I watched him leave our view and then turned to face Bonnie. "Okay then. Bonnie." "Y-Yeah?" I stood up and helped Glamrock Bonnie up from the ground. "Do you know what happened? And what from our world do you remember?" Glamrock Bonnie nodded his head slightly and said, "I think, but it's blurry. Did I agitate my remnant to the point of disconnect?" "Yep, but once again. What did you remember from our old world? You saying Adrien caught me off, guard. Were they someone we knew?" Glamrock Bonnie thought for a moment before his eyes widened as if he remembered something. He ran to the warehouse and then came running back with his box of stuff. I watched as Glamrock Bonnie searched through the box until he found something and said, "Ah ha. Here it is." "Here what is?" I asked, wondering what he was trying to find. Glamrock Bonnie pulled out a big, blue, worn, and torn-out book. He said, "This. A scrapbook of my family and that one year in the factory." Glamrock Bonnie stopped and smiled, "Heh, I forgot all the animatronics were inside a factory unless someone wanted to rent a couple of the models. Guess that's another thing I've started to remember." I smiled slightly and watched as Glamrock Bonnie skimmed through the scrapbook. I saw a few familiar faces in the photos between 2002 and early 2003. It felt odd, I don't remember most of the faces, but I felt mixed emotions about most people in the photos. After a few minutes of skipping the pages back and forth, Glamrock Bonnie stopped on a page with eight people. He rested a hand over the photo after he slightly smoothed it out. The caption said, The Theater Family. 6-12-1984. Glamrock Bonnie had a few oil drops leaking from his eyes. He wiped them off and said, "It's us......before the pain. The divorce did hurt, and we had some trouble...financially. But we were happy. No secrets, no burdens, no pain, no death." Glamrock Bonnie whimpered slightly. I walked over and wrapped an arm around him. I pointed at a boy that wore a blue shirt, shorts, and held a peppermint sailor plush. The name popped into my head, "That's Dylan, isn't it? I recognize him now. But who's the rest?" Glamrock Bonnie nodded. "Yeah, that's Dylan. A little after you left, I connected the dots. I at first thought he was a family friend, but then I had a flashback. And you can guess what happened next. On the other side of me is Adrien. The adults are our parents and.........him." Glamrock Bonnie's hand rested over someone with black hair and he whimpered again. "I don't know how to feel about him. I know what he's done. Yet, I can't tell if I want to hate him. I just wanna rip him out, but I want him to stay here because he was a part of this family. I don't know what to do, Shadow." Glamrock Bonnie covered his face and began to cry into his hands. (Hey, do you know who Bonnie's talking about. ............... Person? You there? Vi&*e|\|t. Wait, who? He's talking about Vincent. Just ...............comfort Bryan for me. This hurts.) After giving Glamrock Bonnie time to let out his emotions on his own, I pushed the scrapbook away and pulled Glamrock Bonnie's hands from his face. Oil was streaming down his face, and his eyes were black and white. I gave him a comforting smile and he buried his face into my chest. I held Glamrock Bonnie close and I looked over at the book. A flashback popped into my head as I stared at the young version of Adrien. (I'm sorry, but you won't find that nightguard specifically. Something happened and I don't know what myself. The only ones that know are Afton and the originals. Alright, is there anything else you know about Adrien, Anna? Unfortunately, I can't tell you much, #@$^. Charlie didn't see anything and remember. I possessed the Puppet after Adrien went missing. By the time I got close to something that might have helped my side win the lawsuit and find Adrien. I ended up getting trapped in Puppet's strings. Why would he go missing? The other nightguards were found dead, but he wasn't. Which missing kid is Bonnie possessed by, Anna? ......... A-Anna. Oh, dear sorry um, oh dear......I'm sorry, but I don't think I'm the person you should be asking this. It would go against his wishes. Who's wishes? Who do you think?) Shaking my head, I stopped focusing on the memory and put my focus back on Glamrock Bonnie. He was calmer than before, meaning I could ask him the questions that needed to be answered. "Bonnie. What happened to Adrien?" Glamrock Bonnie pushed himself away from me and looked back at the scrapbook. He wrapped his arms around himself and spoke. But his voice shook as he shivered. "I-I didn't mean to do it. I-It just h-happened s-so s-s-suddenly." "What happened?" Glamrock Bonnie looked down at his hands. "Do you remember how the factory was separated?" He asked while turning to face me. I nodded. Glamrock Bonnie continued. "I heard we got a new nightguard earlier that week. And it was the last day of the week. I think you remember how I was the only original that could tell the difference between Afton and Nightguards. Right?" I nodded again and let Glamrock Bonnie continue speaking. "They were in my room examining drawings. They were ones I made throughout my time dead. Adrien wanted to ask questions. I said it depended on the questions. Then I asked them a couple of questions. They gave me my answers and asked me their questions. I told Adrien to leave. Yet he wouldn't." Glamrock Bonnie shivered again. He took a shaky breath and he began to sound angry as he spoke. "Then he came. That monster came. And I couldn't do anything to stop what happened next. Nothing." Glamrock Bonnie laughed, but it wasn't from joy. Oil instead of dripping, came flowing. "I beat them to death. And I couldn't stop it. I had blood on my hands. And I couldn't stop it." I looked back at the picture. The things going through my head were a lot. (That's w&@t hapqe|\|ned?) The voice had grief in their voice. And it sounded as though they were in shock. (Hold on, you didn't already know? That's the one thing he wasn't ever going to tell me. And the others wouldn't $@* anything either. | had a hunF$ Afton was involved. I did*(& realize he was involved *&(5 that. How did he even control the Bonnie animatronic? Shouldn't the control only belong to the remnant unless it's thrown out? You saw how Glitchtrap controlled Bryan. Glitchtrap wasn't of our world. He may not have, but because of how much Afton experimented with the remnant, I'm not surprised he figured it out. Alright, but how do you know us? F(*& you. Can't even swear properly, god damn. Alright, the next time I say something. Don't respond. Fine fine. It's not my fault you say vague things I need answers for. You can get answers later. Right now, HIM!) The person the voice came from was fuming, I could tell. I wrapped an arm around Glamrock Bonnie's shoulders and said, "Bonnie, it wasn't your fault." He shuddered, "B-But-" I brought a finger to his mouth. "Nope. Not your fault. You were trying to get him out, right?" Glamrock Bonnie nodded. "Y-Yeah. I was." I smiled. "Then none of this was your fault. You were trying to protect him. The only person to blame is Afton." Glamrock Bonnie seemed stunned for a moment. He picked up the scrapbook and flipped through the pages. "Tell me when you see you." After a minute, I said, "Stop. That one." Glamrock Bonnie stopped on a picture of three nightguards in front of a factory. One with red hair, dark skin, and orange eyes which I couldn't tell if I recognized stood to the left of the photo. In the middle was Dylan. And on the right was me. I looked so different, I couldn't tell if it was me or not. "Do you remember your name?" Asked Glamrock Bonnie sorrowfully. I looked between him and the book for a few moments before deciding my answer. I sighed, "I still can't remember my name. But......I do hear it sometimes. Even though I forget it a second later. I'm getting somewhere, finally." Glamrock Bonnie smiled. "That's good. I'm glad you're still here Shadow. I don't think I would be okay without you." I held my hand over the book for a moment before my hand rested on the photo. I hummed quietly. "Right, the book's from our world. I guess I can hold everything in that box without concentrating too hard." "Mhm." We sat in silence for the rest of the time. Glamrock Bonnie focused on the book. And I focused on my thoughts. (So, what do you think you'll do next Jake? Don't know but.........wait, JAKE!? That wasn't glitched.  No, it wasn't. You called me Jake. I......I don't. How is this possible? How are you not glitching? I-I don't know. For the first time in ages. I don't know what's going on.)

"AUNTY, AUNTY! A portal's opened. The void's letting us out." "What? It shouldn't be doing that." "Do you think we'll find them?" "Perhaps. We'll just have to see, sweetie. We'll just have to see." "Okay, I can't wait to see Bryan again. Maybe Giz, or Kay. Ooh, ooh, what about Jake and Dylan? Or, Foxy too.  I bet Pluto's excited too." "Calm down. Once again. We'll just have to see."
