Chapter Text
Cassie couldn't remember the last time she slept without nightmares. She couldn't sleep properly for days. The place was torn apart, but at least she was able to find some part of the broken mascot to give it less of an emotionless look.
Gregory had betrayed her... at least that's what she remembered.
There she was, laying under what little shelter was left of the Pizzaplex, next to a literal robot.
... At least she wasn't alone. The sky was grey and rain was hitting the ground with the reoccurring splashes of white noise. It was too cold, too dark; but at least she wasn't alone.
Roxy had barely curled herself up around the small girl, protecting her. The robot's face was barely distinguishable, but she did manage to find one eye and a shattered faceplate to give the wolf just a little bit more of her original recognizable look."Are you cold, Cassie?" The withered robot whirled into action with a wobbly broken voice. Cassie shivered, holding her knees and nodded slowly. "A little..." she said quietly. "Here" Roxy motioned for Cassie to lean into her torso. The girl started to feel her body warming up from laying close to Roxy's endoskeleton torso. The torso itself was radiating slightly like a heater.
She didn't even know the Glamrocks had heating mechanisms like that! She instantly felt warmer, despite the steel hard and jagged surface of the her robot friend. "Thanks Roxy" She smiled at the machine whose ears twitched back almost bashfully.
The uncomfortable shivering down her spine was already going away from how quickly Roxy could heat her body up. Cassie's head started to drop, her eyelids getting heavier by the minute. She let her head fall into whatever matted faux fur was left of Roxy's hair.
Roxy's one working eye peered over to the girl, eyelid lowering softly as she reached her skeletal claw gently around the girl, holding her still. "Rest well, Cassie" she said quietly, very briefly stroking the bridge of Cassie's nose with her cold metal claws. Despite it being hard and cold, Cassie couldn't help but smile being comforted either way.
The question of what could happen now; still lingering behind, but all they could do at that moment was sit there in silence, resting while Roxy waited for her energy to deplete. She lay back, keeping the girl close to her as she slowly started to run out of energy, somehow at peace.
