broken strings ( Being Re Written)

hush

peridots POV

night 1.  the tester. night 2? shit would get serious.

"So peri i just wanted to give you a fair warning, keep the music box winded up ok?"

 "Vincent this is the 7th time you dont have to remind me im not that bad at basic remberming" vincent shrugged. 

He doesn't believe me "Well just good luck.".

The sentence seemed to fade away like a small shower of rain on a mild temperature day, "im sorry could you repeat that?". 

He looked confused, "Peri i - you know what whatever the rules on the poster im not gonna repeat them all."

Rules? Poster? The only thing i heard was a fishy as hell sounding voice. After waiting a few minutes my night shift had officially begun. Surprisingly, as i was walking down to the main security office i could still smell the jam. Unexpectedly the 'old' ,'broken' chair was actually pretty comfortable. That or i have low standards for chairs. 

The air was cool and damp and to be honest, smelt a bit like a swamp.The small alarm clock started freaking out it was time for the nightmare to begin. 

Silent.

For the past 3 minutes that is all its been and it is freaking me out. Everything was fine but it wasn't at the same time. Bittersweet in a weird way. then i heard it, a hushed giggle as nerve-racking as a dramatic movie. turning the corners of the pizzeria showed me that maybe everything isn't as peaceful as i once thought it was step step "hello,is someone there?" no reply but then again what did i expect? maybe i should of stayed at the office

step step.

They were getting closer now suddenly i had a thought .Did i wind up the music box?.Could it of escaped the 'monster' vincent would talk about all the time? a low growl crawled out from the everlasting darkness. fuck it.I wasn't going to sit around and let myself get killed.Anxiously i turned the corner my mind screaming at me to go back to hiding, with each individual step hope grew like a newly planted tree slowly emerging from the ground.The exit was close now just a few more steps and i would be free from the monsters clutches, the adrenaline  had started kicking in now. Excited, scared and confused i started running surely it couldn't catch up to me now, could it?. mistake. I turned around. 

White luminous eyes scowling down at me my breathing picked up there was no time for breaks we had to run. run and run away from it all .I can't die i dont want to im not like them i admit it im scared but after all aren't we all, no  break no quick breaths. stop stop!  STOP! why did i stop? a name i knew a name, but why was it important?. Hush. It was behind me again and with swift movements it went to strangle me. a moment.The moment. when everything goes white words, memories, things you said, could i have done better? them, him, her , evil bitch, mike. mike? whos mike? no time. time didn't exist  here we are time. "MIKE!"

Time stopped.

The once intimidating glowing eyes where now confused almost like a puppys 

"m-mike?" did the name belong to the mon- the robot? but how could it?.Slowly i reached for my flashlight.Monster?. This wasn't a monster it was a puppet."how did you?" a voice.The robots aren't supposed to be able to talk at night, are they?. i turned to leave, the exit was right in front of me. So why didn't i go?.

"please dont leave me again, i dont want to be alone again"

"hey hey its ok dont be sad everything's going to be fine" was i really comforting a robot?

"your not him, the one who left us all to rot"

"well no not really im generally just confused" it stared at me again confusion swimming around the air. The robot stumbled down the corridor back to where it came from simply humming a familiar tune "wait! can i atleast get your name" the only response i got was a singed lyric "hush now quiet now".
