Here it is guys. The sequel to Facing the Past! I hope you guys are as excited as I am! At the moment I don't know how many chapters there will be but it's possible it will be about the same as the last story. I don't know, we'll see.
Now I don't have much to say yet, so I will just shut up now and let you guys read on. Please enjoy the first chapter of Facing Our Nightmares!
The door to the children's restuarant opened swiftly with the bell at the top jingling softly to indicate the arrival of the night guard. Mike Schmidt's smile fell as he looked around the dark building. He worriedly glanced around, clutching on to his crutches tightly as he felt sweat start to fall down his neck. "He-hello?"
He briefly glanced at his watched, the moonlight being the only thing that allowed him to see it properly. It was a few minutes passed midnight. "I know I'm a little late, but why the heck are the lights out alread?"
He stepped deeper and deeper, as a slight fear began to creep through his body. "Guys?"
Just then a black pointed hand landed on the guard's shoulder. Mike tensed as he slowly turned around to see the tall figure of the Puppet standing over him. A dark sinister smile spread over his lips as he leaned down. "Hello Mike..."
The young man screamed, letting go of his crutches. Without the support the guard fell down hard, groaning in pain softly.
Giggling suddenly erupted before the lights flashed on. Mike sighed irritably as he threw his head back. "Again Nick, really!?"
A childish laughter escaped Puppet before a figure slowly appeared in front of the tall animatronic. Nick kept on giggling loudly as he pointed at the fallen man. "I got you again! You really are stupid Mikey!"
"Haha...you had your laugh. Hey Puppet, want to lend a crippled guy a hand?"
The animatronic smiled shyly before bending down and helping Mike up. He let the guard lean on his side as the human adjusted his crutches. "Sorry Mike," Puppet grinned. "But he can still control me when he wants to."
"Yeah I know." Mike nodded his head before frowning deeply at the giggling ghost. "Nick, I thought we discussed this. You can't just keep scaring me when I come in for work."
Nick calmed down, smiling innocently. "I'm sorry Mikey. But I love scaring you. It's too fun. The others think so too." A devious smirk suddenly played on Nick's mouth.
Mike's eyes widened. "Where are the oth-" The young man didn't have time to finished as four sets of screams suddenly erupted from behind him. Mike shouted in fear as he jumped and clutched his heart. He paled drastically as he fell to the ground again.
Four tall animatronics were laughing loudly behind the fallen night guard. They were laughing in pure joy as four children slowly began to fade in next to the robots. The laughing died with the animatronics as the ghost children continued their giggles.
Freddy sighed and glared down at the boy in front of him. "Shawn, that wasn't nice."
Bonnie however found the situation just as funny, but when the rabbit was about to giggle, the leader glared at him, silencing any laughter. He sighed and glanced down at the girl in front of him. "Y-yeah Angelica. You shouldn't be laughing..." Bonnie had to look away as he finally let loose his laughter.
Foxy rolled his eyes at the rabbit before looking down at the little boy in front of him. "Timmy you shouldn't be scary Mikey now." he scolded.
Chica nodded in agreement. "Yes, you hear that Heather?"
But the laughing ghosts paid no mind to the robots as they continued their childish ways.
Only Nick wasn't laughing as he worriedly looked over the still fallen night guard. "Mikey?" he asked softly, catching the attention of the others. They all glanced at Mike who was still clutching onto his heart, a pained expression washed over his face as his eyes clenched shut tightly. He wasn't moving at all in his hunched over position.
Foxy instanlty bent down and placed a hand on Mike's arm and began shaking him. "Mikey, ye alright lad?" When the young man didn't answer Foxy began to shake harder. "Matey, ya better answer your Cap'n right now!"
Freddy crouched down, bending his head down so his ears would hover over Mike's mouth. "He's not breathing!"
Nick and the other children's eyes widen as tears fell from their eyes. The four all ran to Nick and clung to him. "Nick, wake him up! Wake him up!" Heather begged burrying her face in the older ghost's shirt.
"Y-yeah, wake him up. He has to be alright!" Shawn cried as he looked at MIke.
Nick was shaking as tears burst from his eyes. The first night guard, the first human he's friended was...dead? The lights began to flicker on and off as Nick fell to his knees. "MIKEY!" he screamed crying loudly.
Suddenly Mike sprung up, huge bursts of laughter erupted from him as he laughed loudly. Freddy and Foxy smirked as they backed away from the guard.
The ghost all looked at the human with the widest horror filled eyes they could muster. Shawn was pointing dramatically at Mike. Angelica was shaking as she slapped her hands over her mouth. Heather was opening and closing her mouth like a fish. And Timmy looked like he was about to faint.
Only Nick looked emotionless as his wide tear filled eyes looked at the still laughing Mike. "You're alive?"
The guard smirked as he slowly stood up, with the assistance of Bonnie. "Not so funny when you're being scared, huh guys?"
All the ghost, minus Nick gawked at the animatronics who were all chuckling softly. Freddy winked at them. "We came up with this little plan last night when you all fell asleep. Thought it would teach you guys a lesson about scaring Mike every night."
After a moment to let this all sink in, Shawn slapped a hand over his forehead. "I was wondering why it was so easy to control you tonight!"
Freddy laughed as he ruffled Shawn's hair. "You didn't actually think I would suddenly just give in now that you aren't going to hurt Mikey, did you?" Shawn just glared at Freddy as he stuck his tongue out at him.
Puppet smiled before worriedly looking over his ghost. "Nick?"
Mike looked over at Nick as well. The poor traumatized child was staring off into space, completely shaken up from the fright. "Nick? You better not be trying to scare me again..." Mike warned as he approached the boy.
Suddenly Nick flung at the guard, his eyes turning red. "You bastard! I thought you died!" he screamed through his sobs that suddenly took over again. Mike yelped when he felt the strong force push him back once again on the ground. Nick wrapped his arms around Mike protectively as he cried into the guard's chest. "Don't die Mike. I don't want you to die anymore..."
Mike just smiled softly as he petted the ghost's head. "I won't Nick. I promise. I won't die because I have a super powerful ghost looking after me now, right?"
Nick looked up shyly at the guard who winked at him. He pouted before nodding his head then once again burrying his face into Mike's chest. "Yeah that's right. I'm super powerful...Nothing can hurt you now. Nothing..."
The man groaned as he rubbed the back of his neck to help ease his tense muscles. "Damn, another rough night..." His dark eyes looked up at the night sky. "Oh well. When this week is over I won't have to keep hiding anymore. I'll finally be free from all those nightmares."
He looked over at the purple suit that hung on his door before yanking off the hanger and putting it on and walking out into the night.
And there you have it. The first chapter. Again I hope you guys enjoyed. I hopefully will be posting the next one up soon
By the way, I bet you guys were expecting Nick to hurt Mike instead of them being friendly to each other huh? ...No? You figured it out? ...Well *clicks tongue* aren't you all the clever little readers...But yeah, now that the ghost understand the truth, they don't see Mike as the purple guy anymore. But what's this, the purple guy is showing up again!? That's right everyone, this time Daniel is going to be showing up a lot more than he did before. What's he up to? Is he going to hurt anymore people? Am I ever going to just shut up? We shall see! By the way, the answer to the last question is no.
By the way, here is a little extra part that will explain the ghost children better. Kind of like what I did with the Toys in the first story remember? So here they are! The ghost children!
Shawn: He is the ghost possessing Freddy. He is a bit serious for his age. He nine by the way. He loves to read and to learn knew things. He's also a bit of a know it all. But thankfully he hasn't reached that annoying-know-it-all-level when he died. He lived with his single mother and older brother and sister before his death too.
Angelica: She is the little eight year old possessing Bonnie. She's the princess of the group. She loves anything that is girly and when she was alive she always carried around a little stuffed bunny. No it wasn't a plush Bonnie, it was just a regular rabbit. But when she found out she was possessing Bonnie she was thrilled since he was her favorite after all. She's also very hyper.
Heather: She's a bit quieter than the others. She likes to read like Shawn and also loves to paint and draw. She would spend a lot of hours of the day with her coloring books. She probably would have become an artist when she was older. But when the time comes around she can be very hyper.
Timmy: He's a bit rambunctious. He loves pranks and loves to tease people. He also loves animals a lot. He found a stray kitten by his house one day and convinced his mother to help him take care of it. When he's caring for animals is the only time he doesn't act like an annoying brat.
I won't describe the ghost possessing Golden yet and I think you guys understand Nick by now. If you still have questions on him though I'll answer them. But I won't answer anything on the girl possessing Golden yet. She's a bit of a secret at the moment.
So that's it. The next one should be up soon. Until then see ya and don't forget to review!
