Chapter 18

Vicki has been at the Walter Manor for a week now and so far, it has been without incident…from her at least, They had even stopped another explosion from happening because of Rabbit and Anabella, people around the manor have begun to call them the terrible twos only cause they always seem to be working together in there plots (which usually end up in explosions)

One night Anabella had snuck down stairs like she had normally did, She and Hatchworth had became close friends over the last couple of days; close enough for Anabella to feel safe to tell him her dreams that she’s been having.

“You shouldn’t be afraid to tell people” Hatchworth told her.

“I know, it’s one of those, I’m afraid to find out myself/…” Anabella shifted on the card bored box labeled ‘magazine’s’.

“You shouldn’t be, everyone here is to help you” Anabella closed her eyes, imagining what Hatchworth looked like and putting a kind smile on his face.

“You know…maybe I will tell Peter…” she stood up, going to make an exit to tell him before realizing the time. “Tomorrow…” she sat back down on the box listing to Hatchworth laugh.

“Humans need there ‘beauty sleep’ as they call it”

“Yeah…I don’t get why it’s called that, they never seem to get any younger” Anabella shrugged.

Vicki sat crouched near a box keeping out of site. She had her eyes on Anabella the ‘new project’ that Peter was working on for a while. From what she gathered was that she was unstable and had no memory of herself, she’d be perfect for the experiments….It had taken a while of hidden phone calls and dodging her twin to get back to the Becile Industries before they could make a plan on how to move the Automaton’s heavy body. Finally plans were set into motion as a delivery was made, a small gun that admitted an EMP wave. It wasn’t strong enough to cause damage, just strong enough to knock her and the other one out. She smiled and took aim, her finger on the trigger and pulled. Anabella went stiff as it hit and fell to the side her eyes fading between static and blue before going out completely.

“Gotha!” she smirked and hurried over to the fallen body’s quickly activating stasis and pulling out a walki-talky. “got her…” she whispered

“Good, now let me in…” A wheezy voice called over the small speaker.

“Touchy touchy touchy” Vicki headed over to the window and propped open the window to allow another shadowy shape into the basement. “Were the lights cut?” Vicki asked leading him over to the body.

“You forget, this isn’t my first time…” He bent down to the metal girl and hoisted her up easily. As he came into the light it was clear to see he was another automaton with cheek vents wearing a short sleeved white shirt and black pants. “Are you ready?” as he spoke steam escaped from his vents with a soft tsssss sound. His tongue was apparent and fork shaped. His pupils were diamond like a snakes, a few idea’s of his name sakes..

“As always, let’s get out of here Snake” She hurried to the window and climbed out with the help of snake pushing her out before he climbed out himself. His steam let out another soft tss as he lied Anabella down in a truck that was parked a ways away from the manor.  “We did good here” Vicki looked down at there pray for a moment.

“How as living in the Manor?” Snakes helped her down from the truck bed and into the back

Vicki scuffled. “It was horrible…Nothing to do all day, my twin had to baby sit me” she rolled her eyes and stretched. “Now let’s go, I’m ready for bed” Snakes nodded and headed out.

“Think Boss will forgive you for blowing up his lab for this?” Smokes checked over at her.

“He has to, he has been very interested in what has been happening over at the Walter manor since he saw this bauty” she jabbed her thumb towards the bed. “He will have to forgive me, sides, it was only a little fire”

Snakes laughed. “Little? You blew a giant hole in the ceiling from it”

“Meh, who’s looking at the details?” she chuckled.

Once they got to the Becile Manor Snakes helped Vicki bring Anabella inside and tied her up in a special type of chain that was used for misbehaving automatons and stood her up in the lab. “Good…” She moved up to Anabella. “Sleep tight you light witch, tomorrow the fun begins…” The two walked form the room chuckling softly to themselves leaving the silent automaton in the box awaiting for the horrible man that will soon find her in his lab.
