Yup, this is a thing now. I wanted to do two, but..yeah..11 animatronics and 1 human being to handle...not happening. So, I skipped right over FNAF2 and went straight to FNAF3. I really liked how the first chapter came out and I hope you all like it as much as I do. Sorry for any formatting problems, you can blame formatting on fanfiction and not me XP My setting for this story is that the fright attraction takes place in Fredbear's Family Diner, since from the mini games in the 3rd game for Springtrap and Golden Freddy, it looks like it takes place at the first restaurant which was Fredbear's Family Diner.
Also for this one story, I've put some 'Easter eggs' You might recognize a few lines from some FNAF songs out there. This one in particular (as well as the title of the story) has the first and second intro verses for the song 'Run Run' by ChaoticCanineCulture on youtube. You'll see what I mean. But enough of me ranting. Let's get to the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own the future animatronic, Phone Dude or the mentioned lyrics. I only own the manager and my boyfriend owns the security guard (It's his police cop OC that we made a security guard for the sake of the story..cause I demanded it)

|Five Nights at Freddy's 3|

|Prologue|

As my breathing continued to come out in panicked gasps, I pulled up the maintenance panel on the tablet and saw that the ventilation system was out. I had to keep repeating to myself that these were just hallucinations from the lack of air...that or this place was really starting to get to me. I wouldn't be surprised...this was my fifth night here, after all. The fifth night and I was still wasn't used to anything here. The hallucinations weren't so bad...it was the animatronic the Scavenger found and placed in this stupid horror attraction. I'll have to remember to shake that guys hand for a job well then and then punch him in the dick for putting me through this!

Hearing a few noises from the air vents, I turned back to the camera and changed it to the air ducts just in time to catch the golden bunny animatronic looking at me from Camera Thirteen. I made sure to tap the icon twice (probably a lot more since I was freaking out) and closed the vent so it wouldn't get to me.

How did I get this crap job? I mean...it was fun, in the beginning. That was before this broken down animatronic was introduced to the attraction. I was so naive that night...thinking it was just a statue that looked like the real thing...

I still remember the first night when it wasn't around...that night was so simple.

|Welcome Back|

"Wow ah...you guys really went all out over the weekend, huh?" I looked over the newest addition to our little town. 'Fazbear's Fright: The Horror Attraction' is what it was called. It was almost like a haunted house in a way. It was based off those murders that happened long ago at this old restaurant called 'Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria' and after doing a bit of research, the owner found out that two of the restaurants were actually located within the town. The one where the horror attraction took place was a lot older than the more recent one. This one being under the name 'Fredbear's Family Diner.' I remember coming here last Friday for a small test. They had me sit in one of the rooms, just guarding the place. It wasn't too hard, actually, even without the cameras set up yet. To be honest, I almost fell asleep.

The manager gave a laugh at my statement with a slight shrug "Well, you have to remember, when we found the place it was already broken down and in disrepair. All it took was to get some electrical equipment working, find some props and set the mood of a haunted house. I actually have one of my guys still looking through these boarded up back rooms for an animatronic or anything salvageable. Hopefully, he manages to find one" he stated. I couldn't help but get a little nervous at that "I-I don't know about that...what if the rumors are true? You know, about them stuffing you into a suit?"

"Well, if that happens, you don't really have anything to worry about. We don't have any full suits of these characters. Just heads and torsos. Nothing more, nothing less" The manager tried to reassure me. I thought about it for a moment before giving a nod in agreement...and what are the chances that they'll even find one and get it working?

"Now, let me show you to your new office" with that being said, the manager led me inside. I winced a bit from the loud screech the hinges gave as the front door to the restaurant was opened. The manager groaned in annoyance "I thought I told them to fix that. Their excuse is that it adds to the atmosphere, but the least they could do is oil the hinges so it won't be so loud. Hopefully, you won't be able to hear it from your office. It's near the back exit" As I followed the manager, I looked over the place just taking in the atmosphere. It really felt like a haunted house now...or well, an old abandoned haunted restaurant...which it, technically, was. It looked a lot different from when I was first here.

There were wires, tubes, some kind of fabric and dingy little lights hanging all over the place; the lights giving the restaurant this yellowish green glow. We went pass a few of the mascot heads that were rigged with lights inside them and set to light up at small intervals. There was even a section that had a few old-styled arcade games. Some of them were working, but they only showed a blue screen, not surprising really. We even walked pass this hallway that had paper dolls hanging from the ceiling and a bunch of presents in the corner of the floor...I wonder if they found those in the restaurant as well or were just trying to make the place seem as 'kid-friendly' as it did in the past...there were child drawings of the old animatronics along the walls of the place. On the way here, the manager had told me the drawings they found were authentic, but he wasn't too sure about the heads and bodies of the suits they found.

By the time we reached my new office, I had already managed to map the place out. The first office they had me in was at the front, so I never got to see the whole place before. "Here you are. Your new home away from home" the manager said as we walked in. It was pretty roomy actually. The ceiling had a single light bulb, a few wires and tubes hanging from them (like the rest of the place), a few children drawings along the wall and two of them on the large window in front of my desk. The desk itself was kind of huge. There was a tablet right in the center of it, a phone, a working desk top fan and it even had these three little figurines of the original animatronics I've been hearing so much about and...a soda? "Um...who's soda is that?"

"Probably one of the guys. You can throw it away if you want, but knowing them, whoever it belongs to might come back for it." the manager answered. I gave a shrug and continued to look around. There was a vent on the far right wall and in the corner next to the entrance of the office was an old box...filled with more heads?

The manager must have noticed me giving the box a scrutinizing look because he chuckled quietly next to me "Don't worry about that box. My guys found those things at the second restaurant on the other side of town. Said the pieces there looked too...childish. Nothing we could use for a horror attraction, so we just scrapped them in the box and set it here in the office. They're supposed to come by and set the box in storage, but if you want, I'll let you keep it in here for your shifts" Well...the contents inside did look nice...and they kind of brightened up this gloomy place. "I'll think I'll keep it here for now"

"That's the spirit. I know this place can probably get to some people after a while. Hell, one of the workers that helped set the place up says he saw something while working on the lights. Almost fell off the ladder. Who knows? Having that box of brightly colored parts could do you some good" the manager replied as he ushered me over to the desk.

"Try to get settled in. This is your real first night and no one really knows what we're doing to the place. We still get some teenagers coming by to vandalize and ruin everything. Your job is to make sure whoever wanders in, wanders right back out. If they manage to touch or destroy anything, let us know and we'll see if it's fixable" He explained. I smiled and nodded, showing that I understood before glancing down at the tablet on the desk "And what's this for?"

"Oh right, I meant to tell you. My best guy, practically my second-in-command on this thing, he's going to call you before your shift starts. He'll tell you everything you need to know. I made sure to tell him to call right at eleven-thirty. No earlier and no later, but don't be surprised if it's a little later" he answered. I couldn't help but laugh at that and nodded once more. "I understand, sir"

"Good. Hey, wanna hear the intro I have for when the attraction opens up?" the manager suddenly asked. I was surprised by the request, but smiled and gave another nod. Couldn't hurt could it? Besides, it was nice to have someone else around before my shift started and I would be alone. The manager gave a cheerful grin before he straightened up and gave a slight cough to clear his throat. I almost laughed at that.

"Let me welcome you, newcomer, to your job. If you listen you'll survive this. I believe that you can overcome the terrors that you'll see here. The puppet's watching, always stalking. Be careful, now" and with that, he took a bow. That time I laughed "Well, what did you think?"

"It sounds great, sir." I replied, obviously making his day as he gave me a cheerful smile. "But, why are you introducing them to the place as though they're going to work here?"

"Well...it's still a work in progress. Trust me, it'll sound a lot better and make more sense the next time you hear it." He answered before glancing down at his watch. "Ah, it's almost time for your shift. Well, I won't hold you up any longer. I'm going to lock the doors this time and hopefully that'll make your night a lot easier. I'll be back at six in the morning to let you out. Have fun, Wade, and good luck"

With that said, the manager left, leaving me with a clear view of the Freddy costume outside the office and walked out the backdoor. Hearing the hinges screech on that one as well, I laughed a bit at hearing him groan at the sound before he closed the door and locked it in the process. I gave a sigh as I picked up the tablet and looked it over. I was able to find the power switch and pressed it. The screen turned on with a small flash and on it displayed two tabs. Both of which just said 'Click' although the tab on the left was in yellow and the tab on the right was in blue. I wasn't touching anything until that guy called me.

I sat there at the desk waiting til eleven-thirty for the call...but it didn't come until my shift started at exactly twelve. It scared the crap out of me, honestly. I was just listening to the lights around the building give off that buzzing noise and then suddenly the phone rang. It was loud and echoed throughout the place. I had to wait a moment for my heart to stop beating rapidly in my chest before I answered it on the third ring. "H-Hello?"

"Hey-Hey! Glad you came back for another night! I promise, it'll be a lot more interesting this time" the guy answered on the other line. I wanted to tell him that he was late in his call, but decided against it. The voice sounded familiar and knowing this one, he probably wouldn't listen to me. Best to just let him talk.

"We found some-some great new relics over the weekend and we're tracking down a new lead right now. So-uh...let me just update you real quick, then you can get to work."

"Um...alright...?" was all I could reply back before going back to listening. "Like, the attraction opens in like, a week, so we had to make sure everything works and nothing catches on fire! Uh-when the place opens, people will come in at the opposite end of the building and work their way towards you, then past you and out the exit. Yeah, you've officially become a part of the attraction. You'll be starring as...the security guard!"

Really? I wouldn't have guessed.

"So, not only will you be monitoring the people on the cameras as they pass through, you know, make sure no one steals anything or makes out in the corner, but you'll also be a part of the show. It'll make it feel really authentic, I think"

Oh, joy...I get to see horny teenagers try to bang each other in the attraction. Suddenly, this job was losing it's charm. Slowly, but surely.

"Uh...now, let me tell you about what's new. We found another set of drawings, always nice, and a Foxy head! Which we think might be authentic...then again it might be another crappy cosplay. We found a desk fan, very old school - metal, though so, watch the fingers."

Good to know. Note to self: keep any kind of appendages away from the fan with rapidly spinning blades.

"Heh-uh...right now, the place is basically just, you know, flashing lights...spooky props. I honestly thought we would have more by now. If we don't have something really cool by next week, we may have to dress you up in a furry suit and make you walk around say "Boo...!" Hehe"

Please let them find something before next week. I can't be a security guard and the main attraction for the attraction.

"But you know, Like I said we're trying to track down a good lead right now. Uh, some guy who helped design one of the buildings says there was like, an extra room that got boarded up or-uh...something like that. So, we're gonna take a peek and see what we can find. For now, just get comfortable with the new set up. Um...you can check the security cameras over to your right with the click of that blue button. Uh, you can toggle between the hall cams and the vent cams"

I was quick to pick up the tablet and pressed the blue tab. Just as he said, I was looking at the attraction through one of the cameras. Camera two, to be exact. Nothing interesting there. There were also two extra tabs which were named 'Play Audio' and 'Map Toggle'. Pressing the second button took me to the vent cams. What interested me were the five green dashes over the vent tubes. I looked at them for a moment before tapping it and a notice suddenly came up, reading 'To seal a vent, double-tap the vent cam button' Huh...that's strange...why would I want to seal a vent? Best not to think about it right now.

"Then over to your left, uh, you can flip up your maintenance panel. You know, use this to reboot any systems that may go offline. Heh, so in trying to make the place feel vintage, we may have overdone it a bit. Some of this equipment is barely functional. Yeah...I wasn't joking about the fire. Tha-That's the real risk."

Still losing it's charm...

"Uh, the most important thing you want to watch for is the ventilation. Look, this place will give you the spooks, man, and if you let that ventilation go offline then you'll start seeing some crazy stuff, man. Keep that air flowin'"

Another nice thing to know as I pulled up the maintenance tab after closing out the camera panel. It was a black screen with green words as stated:

'System Restart
Menu

audio devices
camera system
ventilation

reboot all
exit'

For now, I clicked on exit. I didn't need it just yet. "Okay, keep an eye on things and we'll try to have something new for ya tomorrow night."

"Ah um..alright, looking forward to it" And with that, we ended the call. I checked my watch and saw that it was four'o-clock already. I only had to be here until six! Either that was the longest phone call ever or this night was going by fast. I didn't think much of it as I went back to the camera tab and started looking around the place. Nothing new, nothing different. For the rest of the night, I just watched the Freddy head light blinking at me from camera two. By the time I realized it was six in the morning, I had heard some keys at the back door and the familiar (albeit slightly annoying) sound of the door hinges, signaling that the manager was here and my shift was over. Well...that night wasn't interesting at all.

"Hey, kid. How'd your first night go?" he asked as I gave a stretch in the chair. "Well, your guy called a little late, but by the time he got me up to speed with everything it was already four in the morning." I answered. The manager sighed and shook his head "I'll be sure to tell him to call earlier then. Wouldn't want him calling while you're watching the place. You might miss something" Or I might miss nothing, but I didn't say that out loud. "Well, you did good for your real first night. The place still looks the same so far, but we'll give it a thorough look around, just in case you missed anything. Not that I'm doubting you"

"I understand. Same time tomorrow, right?"

"Same time tomorrow. Want me take you out to your car?" the manager offered, but I declined with a shake of my head "I'll be fine. I'm sure the whole town is still asleep and the parking lot is only two inches away from here" the manager chuckled and nodded "That is true. Well, try and get a good sleep. We're hoping to find something good today in those back rooms. Who knows, if we do find an animatronic then your next night will definitely be more interesting"

I tried to get the arrow symbols on the maintenance panel in the story, but fanfiction won't let me :I
Ah well, here's the prologue and first chapter. What do you think? Flames will be ignored and used to bake cookies for the fans.
