Late Night (Intro) A Fan-Made Story By Andrew M. Ernst

(Yes, this is a FNAF story. The door's right there if you don't want to read)

The door slammed shut with much more force than what was expected, the sound of the metal hitting the cold hard floor so loud that it sent shivers down Alex's spine even more than the animatronic that was standing on the other side. Alex could no longer move, for he was frozen in fear. He never thought such a thing was possible in real life, just in the cartoons and stuff. Yet here he was, frozen in fear. He stood there for what seemed like hours (but was really only fourteen minutes) before he was jolted out of his trance by the sound of footsteps coming from the other side of the office. Alex quickly zoomed to the right side door and shut it, the noise still making him shiver. The footsteps had stopped, and the other animatronic was now on the opposite side of the window, staring directly into the new security guard's soul. Alex could only hide underneath his desk, silently praying to a god he did not believe in as he wondered why he took this job in the first place.

Night 1
11:30PM

Alex had taken a brief look at the giant sign posted just above the restaurant before heading inside. He saw the friendly-looking animals and could not help but smile. He remembered going to the place when he was just a little kid. Back then there were more than just the four characters that were here now. He remembered a strange puppet and how it spoke to him as if it were another kid like he was. Sometimes they would play little games, away from the other children. After he told his mother, she kept a much closer eye on him, and no longer allowed him near the puppet. The puppet would always look at Alex and smile, remembering the fun they had together, but when it looked at his mother, it would just... stare. Alex remembered how the little toddlers tore foxy apart over and over again. He hated it, and tried to look away the best he could, sometimes shedding a single tear, sometimes more. He never knew why he seemed so sympathetic for the robot. He also remembered his 7th birthday, the day...ithappened. How Chica interacted around him and the other kids, making strange faces towards the strange man occasionally, as if it hated him for some reason. The man himself was unnaturally tall, with a haircut similar to Alex's. He wore some sort of uniform that made him look like a purple police man. The poor guy didn't see it coming. Foxy just came out of nowhere and bit the man's head off when he got close to Alex. He had heard the man lived, but just barely. Alex never visited the place ever again, even when it was reopened a couple of years later. The animatronics were different in both look and behavior. They were not allowed to walk around the place anymore, and the kids had to keep their distance from them. Especially Foxy. That one in particular was always... twitchy. He was shortly discontinued for unknown reasons, being locked away in Pirate's Cove for eternity.

Now Alex was here, the first time he had entered the place since it reopened. He wasn't too happy about not seeing the puppet around, since it was his favorite. He took a look around the building, and was disgusted. The place was not as big or as nice as it was before. He could tell there was no janitor cleaning up the place (or if there was one, he/she was not doing his/her job very well). He walked over to the show stage and took a look at the "new" animatronics. They were slightly more terrifying, the purple bunny in particular. It took Alex a moment to realize it had to be Bonnie, and it seemed much less kid-friendly than the previous one. He could not quite understand why, but it scared him, but not as much as what jumped him from behind...

?: GRAWWWWWWWWW!

Alex: *Girl Scream*

?: Hee hee hee, you scream like a girl!

Alex:...s-sh-shaddap!

?: Heh heh. Soooo, you're the new guy?

*The mysterious lady eyes him up and down before suddenly punching his arm really hard without warning*

*Alex wines in pain, then deeply breaths in and out to control himself*

?: You don't look like much... *whisper: He's so doomed...*

Alex: W-what was that?!

?: Oh, nothing!

Alex: Ok... wait a sec, who are you, anyway?

?: You can just call me Rae. I'm the janitor, but I don't really do much, and yet I still get paid!

Alex: *takes another look at the place* that explains a lot...

Rae: Yeah, I just draw all day *walks over to the show stage* I like drawing these guys in particular, since they are really the only source of "inspiration" I have here...

Alex: *goes to join her and look at the animatronics* sooo... is there any sort of... "puppet" here?

Rae: Puppet? I don't think so, why do you ask?

Alex: uh... n-no reason.

*The two stared at the characters for about twenty six minuets before Rae broke the silence*

Rae: Well, I should be going, now. My parents will kill me if I don't get home soon enough. *Points down a nearby corridor*
your new office is just down there.

*Rae walks out the front door, turning to lock up for the night*

Rae: Oh, and uh... good luck *whisper: y-you're going to need it*

*Before Alex can reply, Rae locks the door and is gone*

Alex: Uh, t-thanks?

Alex walks into the office and is greeted with nothing but mess. "Thanks for sprucing the place up, Rae" Alex says as he takes a seat at an old and withered chair, booting up the monitor and jumping back a little as the screen jumped to life, revealing the characters on stage. Alex jumped back once again as the phone jolted to life, ringing throughout the pizzeria. Alex scrambled from his chair to pick up the phone.

Alex: HELLO?!

Rae: Ok... ouch! That was REALLY loud!

*Alex quickly lowers his voice to a harsh whisper*

Alex: What do you want?!

Rae: Well, I, uh... I MAY have forgot to mention that the animatronics tend to... wander a bit at night

Alex: Wait, what?

*Alex looks at the monitor, and his eyes widen as he sees that the bunny that is supposed to be "Bonnie" is gone*

Rae: Yeaaaaah... they don't tell you this stuff when you sign up

Alex: And you couldn't have told me this before?!

Rae: Like I said, I forgot. Must have just slipped my mind

Alex: *Irritated silence*

Rae: Look, this is only your first night, so you don't have much to worry about. First of all, don't try to run, they WILL catch you. It's best you stay in that office, it's your safe haven in that place, ok?

Alex:... O-ok

Rae: Just use your door lights to see if one of them is there, and if they are, shut it. But don't just keep it closed the whole time, gotta conserve power. Also, be sure to check Pirate Cove every once in a while

Alex: You mean the one in there moves too?!

Rae: Yep! If you see the curtains wide open, then close the door to your left immediately!

Alex: Um... ok

Rae: Well, that's all the info you need for tonight

*Alex speaks at the same time Rae does*

Alex: Wait, no, don't go!

Rae: I'll talk to ya tomorrow

Alex: No, please don't hang up!

Rae: Good night, and good luck!

Alex: PLEASE, DO- *hang up*

Alex: DAMN IT!

Alex slammed the phone down in frustration, then he heard footsteps coming from the left hall...

Well, this was much longer than I anticipated, not to mention this took FOREVER! But most of the time I didn't even notice since I was having so much fun writing this. Anyways, for anyone who actually found this, thank you SOO MUCH for reading my stuff, it really means a lot that some one would actually take notice to stuff I do in my free time (which I have way too much of!). And Rae, if by any chance you find this (which you never will) I just want to thank you for the drawings and animations you share with us all. You are the main reason I noticed and enjoyed Five Nights At Freddy's, and I've still been a fan of the series since. I also hope you don't mind me using your name ( I probably should have asked first...) If you do, I'll delete this or something. Sorry bout not asking, but there is no way I'm writing this shizz again, so sorry if you don't like me using your name (once again, I'll take it down if you don't like it.) Thank you all for reading my crap
