Chapter 1- Masks

Tick Tock Tick Tock

Boredom hits hard, and with nothing to do but read a book or sleep, you feel more or less like you're going to die from it. Rodri sighed, she had already finished reading one of her very few books for the third time, and she figured that an hour walk to the library was not in order. It was already pretty late, she thought, and it was not exactly safe for her just walk outside alone.

As if on cue, Rodri heard something stuck her window, which was only a few feet away from her. It sounded like a small rock, or maybe a twig. Not enough to alert anyone else in the house but the person near that window. That was what made Rodri smile as she slipped the window down and saw Oliver with a wide grin on his face too.

"Hey!" He said in a quiet voice. "Can you come with me and my friends?" He asked politely. Rodri grinned.

"Where?" She asked.

"Just around downtown, you know, nothing big. Might break in somewhere though… are you good to go or what?" He said impatiently. Rodri pondered this. He spoke in a hushed whisper, knowing good and well that it would be dire if he woke up the only other person in the house with Rodri, her brother. Her parents were out of town for the week, they were both traveling on business that required them both to come, which left Sixteen year old Rodri alone with her younger brother. She had an older brother, but he had already moved out and couldn't come in until wednesday, which was in three days from that now.

"Sure, let me just find my coat and throw on some shoes…" Rodri whispered. Before she left the window, she spotted a few other friends out the window, Clive and Amber standing awkwardly off to the side. She expected to see Ethan or Tuesday, but she figured they were already asked and refused, probably not wanting to break into some place. She quickly found her shoes and tiptoed out of her house to meet up with them, trying to avoid being spotted by her neighbours. Neighbours with her mother's phone number were almost as scary as the dark in which they snuck around in.

"Rodri, here, take this." Clive said, handing her a flashlight. "We're going to need them, the lights won't be on in there, and if they are… well… we won't go in." He whispered, his eyes darting from Rodri to Amber, who also looked at him expectantly. "I only have two, so you girls carry one and Me and Ollis will hold this one, Okay?"

Oliver sneered "Well, that's a bit sexist, is it not?" He said, his grin widening. Clive scratched his head, wondering if he was being serious or if he was just teasing, as Amber and Rodri laughed at him.

"Okay, it's fine, we don't mind, right Rodri?" Amber said.

"Yes, It's fine. Ollis and Clive might not agree with it though. I think Clive just wants to share a flashlight with you." Rodri grinned, making Clive nearly drop his flashlight and trip on a fallen tree limb. A few cars had driven past them, though none that looked familiar to any of them.

"Are we almost there, Oliver?" Amber asked. Amber was the only one who did not call Oliver 'Ollis' like Rodri or Clive did. She was one of Clive's new friends, whom was not quite used to Oliver enough to call him by his nickname yet. Clive and Rodri had known Ollis for years, and knew that he hated his actual name, and any distance he could put between himself and it was welcome.

"Fairly close, I think." Ollis shrugged, fairly uninterested. Rodri looked at Clive, expecting him to know. He shook his head, not wanting to tell.

"Well, I hope it comes up soon…" Amber complained "My feet hurt."

"It's okay Amber, there will be things to sit on in there." Clive reassured. Clive didn't give Rodri any proof of where they were going either, much to her dismay.

"Can you two just tell us where we are going already?" Rodri blurted out, shocked by her own rudeness. Ollis laughed.

"Sorry! We're going to that kid's restaurant… what's it called? Fred Bear's Family Diner? Well anyway, Clive's dad works there, right?"

"Yeah, he does." Clive sighed. "We go there every other day when he works late. It's pretty weird… I don't like it much. My little brother is even scared of it… but he's just a cry baby so that's not saying much."

"Why are we going There?" Rodri asked, accepting her rude attitude at that point.

"Well… you'll see, now won't you?" Ollis said, a grin spreading across his face.

Pushing the heavy door, Rodri flicked on her flash light. The backdoor of the restaurant had been locked, but to their advantage, Clive had "borrowed" the keys to them from his father.

They were in the kitchen, many pots and pans covering the walls and racks. Amber shivered, not from cold but anxiety. Rodri tried to flash her a reassuring smile as Clive and Ollis started to walk towards the main room.

"Don't go too far, okay?" Amber said, her voice confirming Rodri's suspensions of her being scared.

"Okay Amber." Rodri flashed her another smile. She didn't seem to react to it.

"Have you heard the stories? About what happens here?" Amber asked. Rodri looked at her, a puzzled look enveloping her.

"Like what?"

"Well… I heard… little kids that come here… and get lost… are never seen or heard from ever again." She visibly shook as she walked behind Rodri, her hand wrapped around Rodri's, the grip almost painfully strong. "They put them into the suits."

"Suits?"

"The bunny… the bear… I hear the spare ones and the ones in use are… filled."

Filled? Suits? Rodri was puzzled even more. She only then realized how very little she knew of the restaurant. She only knew they sold pizza and and had strange robotic animals. She heard none of the rumors Amber talked about, and it gave her chills. She hated not knowing things.

"I'm sure that's just, you know, little stories they tel the little kids… to scare them, you know?" Rodri realized how her words were not at all reassuring.

"Well, it works on more than just… little kids." She sighed. They finally got to the end of the kitchen, seeing the door was already cracked. As they peered inside, Rodri saw that the others were not in sight. She knew they were checking out the backroom. She still had no idea what they were doing there but she felt like Clive and Ollis had some plan.

She was sure they'd let them in on it later, but at that moment, she only wanted to see the robotic things everyone had talked about. She never had the chance. Whatever was brewing in Clive's head could wait for her curious tensions.

Time seemed to stop as she approached the show stage. She say yellow and like green spot lights pointed towards the two robotic figures standing solemnly still. The bear was very large, his yellow skin and blue eyes appealing to Rodri. It reminded her of herself.

The bunny, though, was strangely… eerie. As she came upon the stage she realised that the bunny was greenish yellow, not golden yellow like the bear. His green eyes peered at her with a soulless gaze, one only murderers or crazy people could have. Deep fear stung at her eyes, and her lip shivered.

It was probably nothing, she thought, it was just a robot thing. It was just take fur and little wires. Nothing to fear…

"The bunny is really cute, I like yellow and green." Amber said, making Rodri jump. She had forgotten she was behind her the entire time.

"Really? The bear is much cuter, and didn't you say you were afraid of this place?"

"Yeah, but I feel better, knowing that no one else is here but us. Of course you like the bear, Rodri, he looks just like you, blonde hair, blue eyes, and… well he is fat, he has you in that, you're way to small for that."

"Oh, I guess… in any case we should move along. I want to find Clive and figure out what we're doing here." Rodri said. Amber nodded, clearly wanting to know the same thing.

They assumed that Clive and Ollis were in the storeroom near the back of the stage. The door was cracked, and she heard a faint, muffled sound come from there. She pulled the door all the way open, looking around for her friends.

"Clive? Ollis?" She whispered. Amber tried moving a bit closer, but she tripped on a long cord extended across the floor. She tumbled forward, causing Rodri to also fall.

"ACK!" Amber cried out, making Rodri cringe at her volume. She heard hysteric laughter sound out behind them. She froze, fear filling her.

The laughter quieted behind them, but it sounded like it moved to be in front of them.

HAHAHA

"Oh my god, that was a riot!" She heard Clive say. He moved out from behind the door, a power cable in his hand. He had pulled it up when Amber walked in, causing her to trip.

Ollis came up from behind a table, a strange looking purple Rabbit head covering his face. The laughter was his! Clive must have been behind them… though… it sounded like more than one person… Rodri shook off the though. It was just those rumors Amber talked about. It put those thoughts in her head, making her believe that. In truth… it was probably just Clive.

"You two are the worst! I cannot BELIEVE you did that! Also, what the HECK are you wearing?" Rodri growled, looking at Ollis. His brown eyes were filled with amusement.

"They're masks." Clive said. Rodri hadn't noticed until then, but he also had a mask on: A red Fox mask.

"Thanks for the information, captain obvious, but what are they from or what are they for?" Rodri asked impatiently.

"Come and see!" Ollis said, grabbing her hand lightly and gently leading her around the table. Clive helped Amber up and they also joined in. Behind one of the suits, which had been 'carefully' kicked over, there were two other masks, a strange yellow bird, and a bear. Ollis picked up the bear mask, handing it to Rodri.

"Here, we'll need these soon." He said, slipping it over her blonde hair. She felt small in the mask, but it fit, strangely, she guessed it was a one size fits all sort of deal. Clive did a similar thing with the bird mask for Amber.

"Okay, please explain this plan to us before we kill you both." Amber said, pulling the mask back off, her long brown hair pulling out of it oddly. Rodri laughed and pushed it back into place. "Yikes, that's my bad. I can't wear hats for a reason." Amber giggled. "But seriously Clive, what's up?"

"Well… my brother has a birthday party planned for this Friday. We're going to crash it!" Clive said, pretending to crush his palm with his fist. Rodri shook her head, disappointment on her face. She knew they couldn't see it, the bear mask obscured her entire face, leaving nothing but her blue eyes visible.

"I don't know guys… what did your brother do?" Rodri asked, crossing her arms. She thought of taking the mask off too, as Amber did, but she decided to just leave it on.

"He's just a cry baby." Clive said, his eyes narrowing at her through the mask. "Plus, it won't just be him I think, there will be other little kids. It will be hilarious!" Amber and Rodri exchanged glances.

"It could be fun…" Rodri admitted. Amber looked around, seeing the others looking at her expectantly.

"Alright… I'll do it." Amber said, clearly giving in. Clive stepped up to her.

"No... no, if you don't want to, we can ask Tuesday, she would do it, or maybe Nate, he could do it too… you don't have to if you don't want to do it. I'd understand if you don't." He said, his voice serious. Rodri assumed that he didn't want Amber to just give into peer pressure. Amber shook her head, putting the weird bird mask back on.

"No… no it's fine, It will be fun, I think. Little kids are easy to scare and make fun of, and we're teenagers, who says we can't live a little?" She said, making Clive clap his hands together.

"What is that bird mask anyway?" Rodri blurted.

"Chica the Chicken… the bear you have is Freddy Faz… bear…" Clive realized how silly he sounded.

Rodri took advantage of the joke "Real original, what is the bunny? Buddy the Bunny?" She jested. Ollis laughed.

"Bonnie actually." Ollis corrected. Rodri smiled.

"Well, she fits you. You ARE a girl after all."

"Oddly, he's a boy." Ollis chucked again, making Clive and Amber join in.

"Bonnie is so NOT a boy name!" Amber said, slapping the back of Ollis' head with her palm.'

"Well, Chica is literally girl in spanish, so that is REAL original too!" Ollis said. Rodri could tell he was sticking his tongue out at Amber, his eyes scrunched up as he laughed.

"Calm now, children, Let's talk details!" Clive said authoritatively. They all lnodded, following him into the main party area. After spending about fifteen minutes in the place, they all had adjusted their eyes to the light, or lack thereof, and could see everything in the room clearly. Rodri saw colorful stars dotting the ceiling above her head, children's drawings on the wall, many tables and chairs, and party hats atop all of the tables. It seemed like a birthday would be had here very soon.

"Okay! Well, um, we don't really have a SOLID plan, but essentially, there is this: He is Deathly afraid of… them." He said, pointing at the Animals on stage. As they looked, he pulled off his mask, laying it on the table. "We took the metal and stuff out of these, so we can wear them with no problem. We want to wear these because we need to hide our faces, and he will be scared of them too! It's a win win! I actually use this Foxy mask already, to scare him at home and stuff…" Clive seemed pretty proud of that. Rodri wondered why he didn't like his brother, she had met him, and he was pretty weird, but he wasn't rude or embarrassing. Her brother could be both, yet she still never played too many tricks on him. This seemed extreme… and yet… she felt that if she said something to go against the plan, like if she told Clive this felt wrong, then she wouldn't be able to do it with them. She knew Clive, he would do whatever it was he thought he needed to do. She decided to go along with the idea, though she wouldn't hurt the little kid if it came down to it. She didn't want to hurt him if she could help it.

"I'm in on this!" Ollis said. He put his mask on the table too, next to Clive's. Rodri saw that he was grinning widely; had he been doing that the entire time? He had stared at her, she realized, which made her feel weird. Not creeped out, but weird.

"Me too!" Amber said, doing the same with her bird mask. The three masks seemed funny, sitting on the table. Rodri thought of what it would be like to see the full body of these heads, to see what the body of the bear's mask she wore was like…

"I'm in… but on one condition." Rodri smiled, making the other's look at her expectantly. "I want us… to have a great party crashing time!" She ripped off the helmet, sitting it on top of the other masks. They all cheered and laughed, their sounds suddenly muffled by the sound of rain pounding on the roof. Rodri didn't even notice the rain start, which was weird, but she just figured that it was just a coincidence. The lightning that struck so close the Thunder sounded just as it flashed must had been a coincidence too.

Tick Tock Tick Tock

The sound was familiar… but… it felt wrong, it felt like it was not supposed to be there… or maybe she wasn't supposed to be there…

"You know… it's only just… that that is how you ended. It's lucky, and it's right." The voice sounded like it was in Rodri's ear, but she knew that he or it was not there. It felt distant, yet very close.

"I didn't forget, but you did, didn't you? What a shame... "

"What are you…" The voice didn't sound like her own… but as she laid on the ground, her memories jumbled around in her head like sand in a sandstorm. She could barely remember her own voice anyway. Actually… what was her name… what did she look like? She couldn't remember.

"Nothing you say or do can change what you did… what you ALL did…" The voice faded… but she could still hear it, though faintly.

"Now you are like me… though… he doesn't like you for what you did… neither do I…" It was almost gone, but it said one, final thing. "...now you suffer… as I do."

Author's Note-

HEY! So I KNOW that this seems a bit weird, I'm pretty weirded out by it too. After months and MONTHS of trying to think of how to continue my other stories, writing my own ORIGINAL STORY ON TOP OF THAT (Which is for me to see if I can actually take writing into an actual job for myself, which is my ultimate goal) , and also holding up in school, I decided that it was too much. So instead, I started writing this for fun, around the four kids at the end of FNAF 4; during the party. It's weird, I liked writing it, and I have NO idea if I'll finish it. Which is why, if you look at the top of the page, you'll notice that it is not labled with a chapter! Which I never forget to do. But for this one... I dont know if I will even write a chapter 2! If you enjoy this, heck, if you even read the whole page, let me know what you thought, if you think it is good as 1 chapter, or if I should continue it into a little, mini series! I enjoyed writing this, but I know that I should finish what I start, and that includes both The End is the Beginning 4 AND Why the Gear's Turn! Whichever one I feel like finishing I will attempt too, UNLESS this one get's enough attention to motivate me to complete it!

Keep in mind I wrote this mostly in a car ride; in the back seat of a Mini-van at that, and if anything is spelled wrong, well, bumpy rides, chubby fingers on my phone, you get the idea!

Anyway, hope you enjoyed this, and have a GREAT DAY!

EDIT- Because I started continuing this story, I put a title in (Crazy, I know) and I changed it's status from complete to IN PROGRESS, so yes.
Also chapter 2 is out what are you doing reading this Scrub :P

P.S.
Just so you know, I play a LOT of Orcs must Die, I've been a huge fan since I discovered the series! I've been playing OMD Unchained the day it came into open beta, and if you ever see me (GamingPyro is my username!) feel free to say hi! I love talking to you guys! 3

SORRY IM A HUGE NERD :D
