Chapter 5 Scraped Animatronic

(Later in the night)

Eclipsa was still in the room with Katie, however she wasn't listening to Katie's unborn baby anymore and just sitting behind her. Katie felt very awkward regarding the situation as she didn't know what Eclipsa wanted from her. She was also worried that she'd harm her and her child but she didn't do anything and just sat next to her looking at her.

'Okay I think I've had enough of being here with a scraped animatronic. I'm feeling very uncomfortable and scared for my and my child's safety so I think it's best if I head upstairs.' Katie thought to herself as she collected her security items and headed to the elevator.

Eclipsa followed her to the elevator but didn't get in as she didn't like the elevator much. When Katie saw that Eclipsa didn't follow her inside the elevator she felt relieved as she didn't want her following her everywhere. So she pressed the button that would take her upstairs and Eclipsa just stood staring at her till the elevator doors closed completely. Once the doors closed Eclipsa went back to the Security room to wait for Katie to come back.

Meanwhile Katie felt a wave of relief when the doors closed as Eclipsa just gave her a feeling of dread. Especially after what happened to her the other day when she almost had her arm ripped off.

Soon the elevator reached the top floor and Katie got off it and started walking around the place hoping to find some work to do. However when she went into the main eating area she saw that Polly, Pat, and Dawn were no longer there.

She shrugged it off and thought that they just went to another part of the restaurant. However she still couldn't believe that the animatronics here are alive, and she wondered how that was even possible.

"Maybe I should ask one of them how this is possible." Katie said to herself.

"Ask how it is possible?" A female voice asked.

Katie looked back and saw Molly standing behind her, giving her a curious look.

"Oh well I hope this isn't rude but how are you all alive?" Katie asked hoping she didn't sound too rude by asking such a strange question.

"Oh um... well that's unimportant. Anyway, what are you doing up here? Aren't you supposed to be in the basement in the security room?" Molly asked.

"Oh well I am but the boss said I could do some work up here for extra pay. Also I kinda had an interaction with one of the scraps down there that kinda made me feel uncomfortable." Katie explained.

"Hmm what did they look like?" Molly asked.

She was surprised that Katie did not seem to be hurt as most of the scraps down there are down there because of them expressing violent behavior. Katie then started explaining what the animatronic looked like to Molly and as she described it Molly looked shocked when she finished explaining.

'Eclipsa? But she was scrapped because she showed violent behavior to adults. Why would she be so calm with Katie here? Unless...' Molly thought to herself.

"Hey Katie, are you pregnant by any chance?" Molly asked.

"Um... yes, why do you ask?" Katie was confused by why Molly asked her something like that.

"Well you see the animatronic you encountered is Eclipsa and she was scrapped as she showed violent behavior to adults. However she was calm with children and pregnant women. So I thought that the reason she was calm with you was because you're carrying a baby right now." Molly explained.

"Oh... well I guess there's a good reason my EX got me pregnant." Katie said.

"Your EX?" Molly said, confused.

"Yeah My Ex boyfriend cheated on me with some other chick and I kicked him out of our apartment. I then found out I was pregnant later on and I wanted to keep the baby and raise it on my own. I also didn't tell my Ex as I want him to have nothing to do with my child's upbringing so he doesn't know about it. That and I'm kinda worried that he might try and do something to me that'll potentially cause me to have a miscarriage." Katie explained.

"Ah okay so in other words your ex is a douche." Molly stated.

"Yeah he is, anyway I'm gonna call up my boss and see what extra work he wants me to do around here." Katie said as she got her communicator out and left to contact her boss.

"Well I better inform the others about this, now we gotta really look out for her." Molly said to herself.

Meanwhile Eclipsa decided to go through the vents to keep an eye on Katie as she worried about the Baby she was carrying. So she decided to go through the vents and stay out of sight of the cameras as she knew she'd be turned off if she was found outside of the basement. So she remained in the vents and out of sight but also made sure she could keep her eyes on Katie to protect her and her baby.

"Alright sir thank you, you have no idea how much I need this job." Eclipsa heard Katie say.

"C-Child... protect.... Child... at... any cost." Eclipsa struggled to say due to her severely worn out and broken voice box.

She then crawled to where she heard Katie's voice and soon found her standing in the girls bathroom talking through the communicator. She then saw Katie hang up on whoever she was talking to, and Eclipsa was relieved to see she didn't have to defend Katie from anyone yet. Katie then left the bathroom to go do some extra work and Eclipsa followed her through the vents in order for her to be there when Katie and her baby would need protection.

Katie meanwhile was heading to the kitchen to restock some of the plates and clean up some dishes. When she entered the kitchen she saw Shelly the sea otter sweeping up some broken plates that were on the floor.

"Um hello?" Katie said awkwardly.

"Huh? Oh hello, don't mind me I'm just cleaning up the mess I made after I got spooked by a rat I found." Shelly explained.

"Really? What happened here?" Katie asked.

"Well, I happened. Like I said I found A rat and whenever I see rats I freak out and leap up onto the nearest shelf and hide from it till someone gets rid of it. However I'm left in quite the shock so it's kinda hard for the others to get me down. So I often accidentally make a mess and break some plates. Priscilla told me to clean it up and you don't wanna make her mad, she can be nice but make her angry and you'll regret it." Shelly explained as she threw some of the glass shards away.

"Alright noted... I feel so strange talking to a robot, how are you all even alive?!" Katie asked.

"... Um that's not important, you just work, and we'll do our own thing." Shelly said dismissing the question and leaving the kitchen.

However Katie was left confused as she wondered why the animatronics seemed to be so dismissive about how they are alive. She decided to just brush it off as she needed to get the work for the night done so she'd get paid. So she started cleaning up some of the dishes that the day workers didn't manage to finish before the building closed.

"Hmm there's a lot of dirty dishes here. Then again what do you expect out of a restaurant that's so popular." Katie said to herself.

She then looked down at her stomach, gently placed her hand on it and rubbed it gently.

"I wonder what you'll think of this place little one? I do hope you'll have just as much fun here as I did when I was a kid... but I will need to tell mom and dad about you soon. I just hope they'll have a good reaction to this." Katie said to herself.

She then went back to washing up the last of the dishes and then went to restocking some of the plastic cups.

Eclipsa meanwhile watched Katie from the vents and wondered what Katie was talking about. To her it seemed strange why she'd haven't told her family about her pregnancy yet. Her family should always know about this kind of thing, as in the past she lost a child of her own to a terrible adult.

'If any nasty adult tries to hurt her and the baby I'll kill them! All adults don't care about kids they never did! They just cared about Money! That's it! And I'm going to protect kids at any cost even if I have to kill!' Eclipsa thought to herself.

"Alright everything in the kitchen is done! Now I just gotta try and fix some arcade games around here and restock some more merchandise." Katie said to herself.

She then left the kitchen with Eclipsa once again following her through the vents to keep an eye on her and insure the baby's safety. Throughout the night Katie fixed up any machinery and arcade games that were broken. She also restocked any merchandise shelf that was empty, while also keeping an eye out for the animatronic that attacked her the other night. While Katie worked Eclipsa kept on following her through the vents keeping an eye on her to ensure she'd be safe.

"Hmm, I haven't seen that red eye's animatronic yet, so maybe the workers up here had indeed taken care of it." Katie said.

When Eclipsa heard that she got very angry upon hearing that Katie was potentially assaulted by one of the other scraps in the basement. She decided to rush down to the basement and give them a peace of mind for what they did to an innocent pregnant woman.

When she got to the basement she saw Urchin who was a scraped sea urchin animatronic. He was scrapped as his security system malfunctioned which caused him to use his spikes to attack any human around him. This was because the glitched prevented him from telling who was a guest or employee to an intruder and instead of restraining like they meant to do he'd try to kill.

As a result of this behavior Urchin was sent down to the basement deemed too dangerous to work upstairs. He turned around and saw Eclipsa standing not too far away from him. He backed up a bit as he knew she'd get violent with any adult who'd be too close to her.

"Ugghe... P-Peasant... where... are they." Eclipsa struggled to say with her old worn out voice box.

Urchin pointed to where he believed Peasant was as he couldn't talk as his voice box was taken and put into Vex. Eclipsa nodded and headed to where Urchin pointed and hoped to be able to give Peasant a good peace of mind. She soon found Peasant sitting in a corner blankly staring at a wall with their head tilted lightly.

"Gggghhhh" Eclipsa groaned, getting Peasants' attention.

They turned around and saw Eclipsa giving them a very angry look.

"You... attacked... child... need... lesson." Eclipsa groaned out as she approached Peasant angrily.

(Meanwhile with Katie)

Katie was fixing up one of the arcade machines and once she was done she tested to see if it worked. After playing for a bit she felt like it was working just as it should so she turned it off.

"Ah, this night has been very productive." Katie said.

"Hey you've been doing a good job around here." Katie heard someone say.

She turned around and saw Priscilla standing not too far away from Katie.

"Oh hey you Priscilla right?" Katie asked.

"Yeah I am, and Molly told me about your pregnancy and I wanna give you a congrats on that." Priscilla explained.

"Aww thanks, even if it's not the way I planned of being a mom I'm still happy to have this baby." Katie explained.

"Yeah and I hope you'll understand that being a parent won't be easy. I work with kids everyday and I see how parents work with their kids so I know they aren't easy at all." Priscilla explained.

"I'm aware but I'm willing to go through it all as I want my child to be as happy as they can be." Katie explained.

"Cool cool... Are you also planning on telling your family soon?" Priscilla asked.

"Um... I don't know when I'll tell them as I'm still struggling financially so I think when I get into a more stable position I'll ask them to come over to my apartment and tell them." Katie explained.

"Okay... but word of advice I think you should tell your family a bit sooner as this is really big news and they deserve to know about it." Priscilla explained.

Katie didn't say anything to what Priscilla said and she remained quiet. Priscilla decided to leave Katie alone and let her think over the matter as this is her child.

After Priscilla left Katie looked at her watch and saw that her shift was almost over so she decided to go to her office and clean up. So she headed to the elevator to head down to the basement and to her office in-order to collect her things. When she arrived in the basement she saw that Eclipsa wasn't there anymore so she assumed she went somewhere else.

"I better make this quick as I don't want to get caught by any of the scrapped animatronics as they're meant to be down here for a reason." Katie said to herself.

She then went into her office and cleaned it up, she also changed into her regular clothes. After she was done changing and cleaning Katie gathered up her things and left her office. However when she came out of the office she was startled by Eclipsa, who was standing right outside of the office. Eclipsa had some oil on her and Katie swore she saw Eclipsa throw away an animatronics arm that didn't have a suit on it.

"Um... hey, I need to go, my shift is almost over and I need to go home to rest for my next shift." Katie explained.

Eclipsa tilted her head slightly and her eyes showed disappointment as she couldn't express it due to her missing her jaw.

"Child... will come... back?" Eclipsa struggled to ask.

"Um... yeah me and my baby will come back." Katie said hoping Eclipsa would remain passive.

Eclipsa seemed to have smiled (despite missing her lower jaw) and she allowed Katie to pass. Katie smiled and passed Eclipsa but was also prepared to run in case she went nuts and tried to hurt her and her baby.

Katie managed to make it to the elevator without any issues and Eclipsa waved her goodbye as the elevator closed and Katie went upstairs. Once the elevator reached the upstairs floor and opened up Katie headed right for the entrance. However before she left the building Katie was stopped by someone putting a strong metal hand on her shoulder. She turned around and saw Vex standing behind her.

"Hey Ma'am thanks for not turning on security mode, we really needed some time to think freely before work today. Polly and Pat also wanted me to tell you that they say thanks for fixing up their daughters. Dawn and Dusk mean a lot to them so they're grateful you got them working." Vex explained.

"Oh really? Well let them know that I'm grateful for their gratitude and I'm just doing my job." Katie explained.

"Alright will do, hope you get a good amount of sleep. We'll see you on your next shift." Vex said as he walked away and waved Katie goodbye.

Katie waved back and left the building, still with millions of questions running through her head. She was asking herself how the animatronics were able to walk and talk all on their own? That and many other questions, but she was too tired right now to think much and all that was on her mind was her bed at home.

"I might try and ask the animatronics more questions when I come here again for my next shift." Katie said to herself as she dove to her apartment.

(Later when Katie got to her apartment building)

Katie got out of her car after parking it in its usual space and made her way to her apartment. When she got up to her apartment floor she saw someone standing outside of her room. She cautiously got closer to see who it was and when she clearly saw them she felt her blood boil.

This was because the person was her EX boyfriend Keven standing outside of her room door leaning on the wall next to the door.

"KEVEN WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Katie screamed angrily as she stormed up to her EX.

"Katie! Hey, how have you been?" Keven asked as he tried to hug Katie.

"Don't touch me you dick!" Katie screamed as she swatted Keven away from her.

"Wow wow is that anyway to speak to your boyfriend?" Keven asked.

"Um excuse me! You're not my boyfriend anymore! We broke up! End of story! Now what the hell are you doing here? Aren't you meant to be living with that whore?!" Katie asked demandingly.

"Well she apparently had a husband and he demanded compensation form me and I don't have anywhere to stay. So I was hoping you'd like to try again Katie, so would you like to get back together?" Keven asked.

"Ugh no! You Cheated on me! And got me Pregnant! I want nothing to do with you ever again!" Katie screamed angrily.

"What! You're pregnant! Well that's an even better reason for us to get back together! Listen I'm sorry Katie, I made a mistake by cheating on you! But I'll be better at it! So please let's get back together after all the baby is gonna need their daddy in their life! Right?" Keven asked.

"NO! I'm raising this baby on my own! And if you wanna be better, then do that with someone else! I want nothing to do with you now! So do us all a favor and stay out of my life!" Katie screamed angrily.

She then pushed Keven out of her way and quickly unlocked her apartment door and went inside before locking it again. Keven got up angrily and stormed down to his car. As he headed to his car he thought about how he could make Katie regret not taking him back.

"Ugh! Katie! You're not going to get away with this! I'm going to make you regret rejecting me!" Keven declared as he got into his car.
