Would it be right to say he was shocked? No, rather, it was just so surprising and sudden that fear didn't even register in his mind. He was just confused. He was almost certain that Lisa was looking at him, and yet, here she was, staring at in front of her, not at Damien. Damien could've sworn she was staring at him for a split second.
Damien, instead of leaving the stage out of fear, slowly stretches his hands out and examines Lisa's face. Caressing it gently, to see and to check if anything happens. It was just such a bizarre thought that maybe, just maybe, this thing was alive. They were turned off, he was sure of it. As long as the tubes were planted into them, there was no way they'd be turned on. The Manuel he got 2 days ago said so itself.
And even if it was turned on, why did it just stare at him for only a split second? He knows they have eye-tracking features, but if it worked correctly, then she should've kept on staring at him.
Damien took off his hands from Lisa, and rubbed his temple. Perhaps the lack of sleep was getting into him, he thought. An animatronic that was actually alive? Not even a drunkard and a meth addict will believe it.
Or perhaps, it was just a glitch, if it was actually turned on, that is.
Though, it was a bit unsettling. Not that it might be alive, but the fact that Damien felt excited, as if he'll be happy if it was alive.
'What is wrong with me?'
With a sigh, he stepped down from the stage, giving Lisa one final glance, before checking the other rooms.
---
He had checked every room, from the kitchen, which was covered entirely with dust, all the way to the pole rooms. He cringed at the sight when he first saw it, he had no idea how animatronics were supposed to dance around it when they could very likely just rip it off due to their sheer weight. And he also decided to check the backstage room as well.
There were spare parts of all the animatronics, including their sexual parts. And not to mention, this room was massive. He checked the spare parts, and he might've slightly groped the breasts spare parts, but he would never admit that.
But there was one thing that kept clinging to his mind. 'Where the hell is Isabella?' The star of the show was nowhere to be found. He had checked every corner of the kitchen, pole room, and the backstage, but no, she wasn't here.
Scratching his head in confusion, Damien decided to go back to the stage room. Lisa and Ruby were still there, because of course they would be. He glanced around the room, and from the corner of his eye, he noticed a room he hasn't explored yet. It was so well hidden, even he himself was surprised he noticed it. Upon inspecting it, there were numerous warnings all over it.
"Off Limits"
"Warning: Staff Only, do not enter the room."
Among other things.
Curious, Damien slowly opened the door. He was technically staff now, so it should be fine.
The room was pitch black. And ghost-quiet except for his own breath. He kept checking for a light switch, and found it after a few moments.
The bulb lit up, although barely. Clearly, this bulb wasn't replaced like the other ones. It barely lit the room, and it couldn't light up the corners of the room. But still, that wasn't important.
For in the end of the room, dimly lit by the lightbulb, Damien noticed a figure leaning off on the wall.
It was an animatronic.
It was Isabella.
Slightly surprised, Damien slowly approached her. Upon a closer look, he noticed that she was damaged, as evident by the parts of her machinery exposed in her left thigh, stomach, and her right hand was entirely bare, revealing sharp claws and the metal skeleton beneath it. It wasn't an exoskeleton like his previous restaurant, this was advanced, way more so. He didn't know a place that has been abandoned for god knows how long had such advanced skeletons.
But despite all of that, there was something on Damien mind that kept on bothering him.
She was beautiful.
Red hair that reached her elbows, green eyes that were beautiful even when it wasn't lit up, and the cute blush she had on her face, and she seems to wear something akin to lipstick. She had a small smile on her face, similar to Lisa.
And unlike Lisa and Ruby, she seemed shorter than them. Of course, that only meant she was about his height, but still, Lisa and Ruby were almost a full head taller.
Another difference was the fact her rear and chest size was smaller than them as well. Still a bit large, and a few women would definitely be jealous, but nothing compared to the behemoth that was Lisa and Ruby. She was wearing a dress, although it was slightly damaged, and the dress covered her pretty well, unlike the other two.
Also, the most important difference, was the fact she didn't seem to be based on an animal like the other two. Rather, she was human-like. No fur, no ears, no tails. Although the claws were still a bit jarring. It was also rather odd that she didn't have dust on her, similar to Lisa and Ruby.
Even despite her broken parts, thoughts of doing it with Isabella surfaced on Damien's mind, but he quickly shook them off. First off, it was weird, he's a security guard, second off, she was an animatronic. And third off, considering her damaged appearance, the chances of him losing his manhood increased from 60% to 99%.
Though, it was still a mystery on why she was damaged like this. He thought it was due to how long she was abandoned, but the other two weren't damaged, not to his knowledge anyways. That means someone was taking care of them, perhaps. And from what he knows, no one actually had sex with the animatronics, as the club didn't even stay open for that long, and Mr. Drew forbid it apparently, at the time, for whatever reason. He recalled the reason why the club closed down. Apparently an accident of the sort happened, but Mr. Drew kept avoiding the subject at the time. But he assured him he had nothing to fear.
A shame, he thought. She was definitely the most outstanding out of the three, easily becoming his favorite. He wondered what would've happened if he visited this place when he was a child? He probably would've fallen in love with her, and just kept thinking about her all night long. Probably annoying his mother to no end to visit it every day.
Damien tsked, before turning off the lights, and left the room, closing the door on his way.
What a shame, indeed.
Unbeknownst to him, though, was the fact that Isabella's pupils kept staring at him as he left the room, her eyes slightly letting off a dim glow.
