Mike Schmidt pulled into the gravelled car park in his blue Ford Mondeo. He got out of the car and stretched whilst looking up at the sign on the side of the building, remembering how he'd came to be here...

Flashback

Walking into the corner shop, Mike walked to the back and grabbed a two pint bottle of milk from the fridge and some cat food for the monster he called a cat. He walked to the counter and put the items down whilst handing the shopkeeper (a heavy set man with rough stubble who would look more at home in the middle of a mafia safehouse than a small shop) a five pound note. "Keep the change, Bill. Maybe buy yourself a razor" Mike said to Bill. The man just took the banknote before answering, "maybe you should keep it Mike, buy yourself some friends". Mike just picked up a newspaper before asking "but you're supposed to be my friend Bill!"

"Don't flatter yourself! Why would I, a respected man of the community, be friends with a bum like you?" Bill said, laughing. Mike put a hand to his waiting fnd staggered to the side comically "Why Bill, you harm me with your cruel words" he said before going back to reading the newspaper. Bill leaned across the counter, all humour from his face gone as he spoke "Mike, you seriously need a job. Why don't you look up some jobs in that newspaper instead of reading about the rugby for a change?" Mike folded up the newspaper before answering "OK, I'll do that. See you later, Bill!" He walked out of the shop before beginning he two minute jog back to his house.

Time Skip:Two hours later

As Mike watched the X Factor (which he thought was crap) he remembered about the newspaper. He crossed over to the table, grabbing it before flipping to the job ads. Flicking through, he saw spots open for engineers, builders office workers and even a taxidermist looking for an apprentice. But the one job that caught his eye was a night guard at Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria. Apparently the hours were midnight to six AM, and the pay was 120 pounds an week. It said all applicants were to report to the pizzeria at nine PM (after closing hours). Mike realised it wasn't a lot of money, but he needed the money, so decided to go in the next day, which would be a Monday.

Flashback Ends

He looked away from the sign with the three friendly looking animatronics. Walking through the double doors, he spotted a blonde woman in a smart black suit sat on one of he cleaner tables filing her nails. Mike stood there waiting for the woman, waiting for her to notice him standing there. Five minutes later, the woman stood up as if to leave, before finally seeing him. "Oh, hello!" she said with a bright smile appearing on her face. She quickly walked over to him sticking out he arm to him. "You must be here about the job, Mr...Umm..."

"Schmidt-Mike Schmidt" he jumped in, helping her out. "And yes, I'm here about the night guard job". He shook her hand, surprised by how firm her grip was. She nodded before stating "Before Freddy's came to England, it was based in America. After the Missing Children Incident and the Bite, it kind of lost credibility. If you want to know about those things look them up when you get home. But we shouldn't have any problems like that here now that their programmings been fixed. Now, your job is to guard the place-but you probably figured that out already. Your main job is to watch the animatronics to make sure they're not damaged or stolen." Come with me and I'll show you all of them!" She walked off as suddenly as her speech cut off, and Mike had to jog to catch up.

The first place the woman took Mike was Pirate Cove. There wasa big, mock up pirate ship dominating the floor space with a three metre deep splash pool around it. On the deck of the ship stood a six foot tall white fox, a vixen to be precise. The woman did a little spin on the spot to face Mike before speaking in her trademark fast excited manner "This is Vixxy The Pirate Vixen-my favourite animatronic. She tells the kids stories during the day about the hundreds of adventures she's been on. Even for me they're exciting. Vixxy had a rough time back at the old establishment. The kids ripped her apart and put some pieces on her, giving her the nickname 'The Mangle'. But she's fixed now, so that's good!" She was about to run to a different room when Mike noticed a cubicle with a purple curtain covering the entrance, and an out of order sign. "What's behind there?" he asked, the woman walking back to him. She took a breath before answering "A red fox animatronic called Foxy. He's being refurbished". She ran off again, leaving Mike wondering why he didn't believe her. Next, they visited the main stage. Mike could see three animatronics on stage: a yellow chicken with rosy cheeks wearing a white bib and holding a pink cupcake, a blue bunny holding a guitar who also had rosy cheeks and in the middle was a brown bear wearing a tophat and holding a microphone. "To the left and right we have Chica the Chicken and Bonnie the Bunny. And right in the middle, we have the famous Freddy Fazbear!" she said this with her arms out in front of her as if she was a salesman trying to persuade Mike to buy him. He was wondering about something so decided he'd ask. "So why do these ones look different from the animatronics on the sign?" She turned away from the stage to answer "These are the 'Toy' versions of the characters. The original animatronics are in a room backstage, under refurbishment like Foxy." Finally, they went to the office where he'd be working. It had a large desk with an office chair behind it. There were two doorways into the office, with two buttons near them labelled 'door' and 'light'. There was also a vent in the ceiling on he opposite side of the room from the desk. On the desk were four items: a tablet (which according to the woman could be used to access the cameras) a flashlight, a Freddy Fazbear mask and a phone. "There's an employee from the old establishment who recorded some messages to help you-one message will come each night. And that concludes the tour!" she said and with a flourish produced a bunch of papers. "This is your contract. It basically boils down to saying you have to work five full nights. After that you can continue or quit at anytime. If you don't work the five nights, you will be criminally charged." Mike stared at the contract, reading and thinking about whether or not he should take the job. Then he thought about the empty fridge at home and decided. He signed his name at the bottom of the sheet, which the woman put in her bag. She started walking out before Mike shouted "hey! I didn't catch you're name!" She turned around looking flustered. "Oh, sorry! My name's Emma Livingstone!" she did a little bow before hurrying out of the building, leaving Mike to sit around in his office. He looked at the tablet, seeing the time was 11:34 PM. He played on Flappy Bird until the tablet sounded a small beep to tell him it was midnight. Mike picked up the tablet and started flicking through the cameras. As he flicked back to the stage for the fourth time he stopped with his finger poised about to change the screen. The stage looked different and it took him five seconds to work out why.

Chica was missing.

Authors Note (A/N) Sorry guys, I ran out of time on this one, but don't worry, this will be continued in the next chapter-things are about to get interesting. This might be a big ask, considering I haven't given you a lot to work on but could you please review? If not just watch out for next chapter and judge it on that.
