Fixing the Broken and the Lost

Broke Down

Evie POV

I peeked out of the purple curtain. "Lass, what ye be checking on?" Foxy asked quietly. I shook my head, letting the curtain fall from my hand.

"I keep swearing I hear my friend's voices." I said quietly, "Don't worry about it." He flipped over his card, a king. We were playing war. I flipped over mine and smirked. "Ace." The only thing that beats a king. He frowned, and gave over his card.

"Evie?" Gold came into Pirate's Cove through the floor entrance, "I need assistance fixing TC."

I looked at him, "Again? We just fixed her a couple weeks ago." He ran his hands down his face. Nowadays, the broken down animatronics just stayed in out semi human forms.

"I understand that, Evie." He ran a hand through his hair. "Fixing was the wrong word. I need help making a charger. Her battery's running low."

"What about me sister, lad?" Foxy asked, "She been broken since Axel stopped visiting."

Gold shook his head. The new pizzeria has been open for a few weeks now. Axel hasn't visited since it's opened, and it's taking a toll on Mangle. She's sad, because he promised he would visit. "Foxy, you're exaggerating a tad." I rolled my eyes, but the worry growing in me was evident in my voice. I stood, and followed Gold below the stage.

TC was already in battery saver mode, and Gold had already started on the charger. I went down the rest of the steps and helped him until TC was on charge. "Okay. Done."

"Evie what about the tear in your skin?" Gold asked. I looked at my arms and legs, but saw nothing. "On your face." I felt my cheeks and felt one on my right cheek.

"It's nothing." I assured him, "Worry about the others first." He frowned at me.

"You need to learn to take better care of yourself." He walked towards me and ran his thumb over the cut. "It didn't nick the endoskeleton." I pulled back, knowing he was going to try to fix it, and turned and walked back upstairs.

"But Foxy-"

"But nothing, lad! Me sister been hurtin since that day ye didn't show!" My eyes widened and I paused.

"Which one?" Axel's guilty voice carried through and Mangle looked up.

"Both of tha Lasses."

"Foxy, they came back to me to see if I could pin who was the murderer. They found where Vincent lives, but he left. And he took Charlotte with him. They don't know where yet, but Charlotte left a hint."

I bolted up the stairs and hugged Axel, mangle did the same. The rest of the toys did as well.

Axel hugged back, "Evie, they almost have Vincent."

All the animatronic's eyes darkened. "It's about time." Gold growled. Axel looked to him startled. I sighed. Lately all they've been doing is trying to figure out how to get vengence.

"Some stuff has changed over the four years we were in storage and especially the few weeks the pizzeria has been open." I said, pointedly looking to Gold. He turned and walked back downstairs. "I'll tell you later."
