A Puppet With Cut Strings (EDITING)

(3): Seperation

Ashley's P. O. V.

I'm completely terrified, what is that  stuff dripping on her teeth?!

"Why do you have blood on your teeth Mangle!? Do you know what this could do to the pizzeria?!" Freddy yelled.

Mangle whimpered.
" I-i was p-protecting a p-preteen from getting k-killed by Vincent's counterpart! I WAS DOING THE RIGHT THING!!" She suddenly screeched.

I backed away from her slowly, I could feel my whole body shaking. Chica sees me shaking and engulfs me in a hug.

"Sweetie you should go find your mum. She's probably worried." Bonnie suggested. I nodded in response and ran through the door as the older animatronics and Mangle start to quarrel loudly.

I saw the the newer versions running down the hall towards the Parts room. I could hear yelling and screeching as I sped away from the room.

Where should I go, mom might take me back home... I don't want to go back home!

I decided to sprint towards the Prize Corner and rapidly knock the special knock on the door. Mari came out the box with a worried expression.

I can't take it anymore. Why is all this happening today of all days, I don't wanna leave Mari if mom takes me away!

Tears rolled down my eyes like a river as I broke down onto the ground, clinging to my music box.

Mari picks me up and hugs me tightly.

"It's ok, Ashley what happened?"
"M-mangle, the newer and older animatronics a-a-are.... Are...."

I broke down again. Sobbing and crying, I sounded like a child mourning for my lost mother.

"Calm down before you talk okay?" He said as he wiped my cheeks.

Marionette's P. O. V.

I was just peacefully sleeping in my box, having a dream.
  I mostly have regular human dreams but this one wasn't. I rarely tend to have these prophetic dreams but they only happen when someone is going to end up distraught.

My dream was about Ashley, she ran into my room and knocked on the box like she always did.
She was sad, crying in my arms while i just shushed her telling her it was okay. She explained to me why she was crying but then everything went black.

Another scene popped up. It was Ashley being dragged away by her mom saying that she'll never come back to the pizzeria again. I tried to help but I couldn't.

I  woke up with a jump and held my chest, breathing heavily.

That couldn't be a future dream could it.. I care too much about Ashley to let her just easily disappear like that...

I soon heard a rapid knock on my box, it was Ashley.
I opened the box worried about what i saw in the dream. The dream was right on track.
Ashley was sobbing her eyes out, ready to jump into my arms.

I wanted to break down in fear but i put on a worried poker face for Ashley's sake. She tried to explain but she kept stuttering.

"Mangle b-bit someone who was t-trying to kill a girl. The newer and older Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica are fighting..."

I was quite shocked, how did she know about them?

"You know about the older animatronics?" "Yeah I was playing Hide and Seek with Mangle and hid in the Parts room. They were nice to me especially Chica!" Ashley smiled a bit through her flowing tears.
