I awoke my chest feeling broken and torn in half, I could barely move me strength coming and going. I was under constant watch as sometimes I felt my soul fading and returning, I was laying chained to James's bed. The blade had transformed me but half killed me too, I noticed the fear and worry in everyone's faces. My eyes were dull with the effort of trying to keep myself in  the living, James worked ferociously to try and fix the large whole in my chest. I lifted a hand and placed it on his arm, it was obvious he had been crying as he looked at me.
"Th-thank...............y-you," I wheezed, he game a smile tears streaming down his face. He finally finished up, trying to fix my chest but ended up removing most of it. I examined with what little strength remained my now rib cage looking chest, James looked exhausted. Shadow Freddy limped in the hole in his chest was mostly fixed, he sat down and dismissed James.
"You ok?" He asked no really wanting an answer, I began to speak as painful as it was.
"I-I..........d-did............th-that....." I wheezed but he cut me off, his wound was from me. I had hurt everyone and I was suffering from it, shadow Freddy began his voice almost a sob.
"That wasn't you marionette that was your Nightmare form even if that's your permanent form now you will forever be the carer of the children's souls....." he trailed off, I noticed by the look in his eyes he was doubting I would make it. I put my large needle thin hand on his, I gave a wheezing sigh.
"I-its..........m-my.............f-fault............I-I.............d-don't................d-deserve...........f-forgiveness........." I whispered, I could feel my strength fading. He shook his head, he began to use his power to try to give me strength. Golden Freddy came in and helped, I pushed both of their hands away.
"Let us help you," Shadow Freddy almost sobbed, I shook my head slowly.
"I-if.........I-I..........g-go..........th-then...........th-that's..................m-my............f-fate......" I sighed, my nightmare form was the only think keeping me living. Everyone came in to see how I was doing, I spotted two gleaming red eyes. I turned to face them knowing Nightmare never truly left, if I went then he would loose all power he had. Everyone was glaring at him as he came closer, he ignored their stares and stood inches from the bed.
"Sadly I need your pathetic hide to live other wise I would be as worthless as them, be lucky I give you this power," he scoffed, he placed a hand on my wound and I felt energy flood my body. After that he vanished, I knew that wasn't the last of him but that was the only thing he had done for them. Everyone was in shock but my eyes kept flickering as my energy returned, I was still sore but when they unchained me I had to stop myself from lunging at them. My nightmare seemed content on draining them of their energy but in my state it gave in to my every will except to transform, I held my head and everyone braced incase I leapt at them. Nightmare had never even bothered to even acknowledge me or even speak to me properly until just then, everyone helped me to my needle like feet. I almost collapsed at first, they sat me back on the bed. I almost lost control but my nightmare obeyed me now, my red eye was forever red and my usual white eye was purple. I shook my head softly memories of what happened flooded back making me almost hide from everyone, I looked at shadow Freddy and golden Freddy who looked far better then me. Just the look of what I did to everyone made me wince, I put my hands on my legs.
"I-its my fault a-all of it," I whispered, Freddy put his hand on my shoulder. I looked at him, he opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out. Everyone knew I was nothing but a monster that thirsted energy and to cause pain to others, I shook my head disappointed.
"It's not your....." shadow Freddy began but I cut him off with a stare, he look down avoiding my gaze.
"Don't even try to reassure me you all know the truth!" I snapped standing clumsily, everyone winced at my sudden tone.
"Marionette......" Freddy began, I again cut him off.
"Don't even try! You all know the truth! I am nothing but a monster! Nightmare is right! It was only a matter of time before this happened! I am dangerous! At any moment I could snap and kill you all! I almost killed you all before! Who's to say it won't happen again!" I screeched, everyone winced as though every word were a knife. I turned and flew out the doors and into the forest where I fell over, they chased me screaming for me to stay. My place wasn't with them, all I would do is hurt them. Shadow Freddy grabbed my arm before I could go, his eyes filled with a silent plea for me to stay.
"I can't and you know it, you will only get hurt, I can't stay here anymore," I almost wept, he sighed and let go the others still running towards us.
"It's your decision but know we will forever be family marionette," he sighed, I nodded and vanished. I appeared near where Nightmares energy was coming from, he looked almost shocked to see me in such a condition.
"You were right all along....." I sighed, he put a hand on my shoulder.
"It's our nature marionette no one will see or know you by that name, every time someone sees us they think of monsters, you deserve a better name, one that strikes them with our true nature, isn't that right...... Nightmarione," Nightmare whispered, I nodded and sighed.
"I will help you so long as you never hurt them," I whispered, he nodded.
"A deals a deal," he almost chuckled, I followed him back to the factory. He showed me around being too nice for my liking, he ordered a few of his endoskeletons to go and do something I was completely oblivious to. I was impressed by how well the machinery worked, nightmare spared no expense in his army. He then showed me how many suits he had, I was shocked. All the suits were from all the other locations before mine, each as empty as the next. Nightmare laughed at my shock, I shook my head to clear it.
"How did you get all of these?" I muttered, he stood directly beside me and smirk on his toothy face.
"Well you see i didn't get this powerful over night," he began to laugh, I began to get what he was meaning. He drained the life from every, last one of them.
