Hey guys, PandoraPup here! I've been writing this actually for a while now, but I haven't gotten a fanfiction account until Monday. This is about a guard named Melissa and her life as a night guard at Freddy's. Bonnie is a girl, Goldie and Bonnie are siblings, as are Foxy and Chica, with Freddy as the father figure. This is in an AU where the murders never happened and the bite hasn't happened… yet. So enjoy Guarded!
Melissa was by far their favorite. It started with her always piecing the Mangle back together at age four. Then, at six, she discovered the Parts and Service room and played with the animatronics back there. But Foxy and Bonnie were always her favorites. She didn't necessarily dislike Freddy or Chica, but Foxy and Bonnie were the ones she found better. And Toy Chica scared her. On the day before they removed the toys when she was nine, she said goodbye to Mangle. "Thanks for rebuilding me." The torn apart animatronic said. "Don't mention it. Least I could do." Melissa replied. Then she walked out to the show stage. "Hey Melissa." Toy Bonnie said. Melissa jumped up onto the show stage. "Bye." She responded sadly, then hugged him closely. "Do I get a hug too?" Toy Chica asked. "That's rude Chi! We both know that we scare the poor girl." Toy Freddy reprimanded her. Melissa gave each of them a quick embrace, then walked out the door, knowing that this would be her last time seeing the toys. A man stopped her. "Do you want some candy?" He asked, and began to pull a shiny object from his pocket. Melissa opened her mouth, seemingly to respond, but instead ran back into the building, screaming, "STRANGER DANGER!". She dashed straight into the Parts and Service room. "What is it?" Bonnie and Foxy asked simultaneously. "There's a man with a knife, and he's going to kill somebody!" Melissa cried. "C'mon!" The two bots looked at each other in concern. It was against the rules for them to go out during the day, but people were in danger. "Go get Mangle and Toy Bon." Foxy said. Melissa nodded and darted into the hall and back to kids cove. "What is it?" Mangle asked. "Scary knife man outside, gonna hurt someone." The terrified little girl said. "You get the other toys." Mangle replied. "Will do." Melissa ran out. Mangle climbed up the wall and crawled across the ceiling to the front of kids cove. She then made her way across the ceiling and to the front door. The other toys ran up behind her. They walked out the door, and saw a man standing next to them. "Why are those things out here?" He said. "I brought them!" Melissa cheered, riding outside on withered Bonnie's shoulders. The animatronics moved to make a circle around the man. "Show us the knife." Withered Freddy said menacingly. "What knife?" The man asked nervously. Melissa jumped down, darted over to him and grabbed the knife from his pocket. "This one!" She said cheerfully, then handed the weapon to Toy Bonnie. A police officer walked up to the confrontation. "We heard reports of disturbances outside of the restaurant." He said. "This man was going to hurt me, so I got the animatronics to come out here and help me. Then I took his knife and handed it to Toy Bonnie, because a nine year old like me doesn't need a weapon." Melissa explained. "We'll need to look into this more. But for now, we'll believe you, kid." The police officer replied. "And as for you, you're coming with me." He said turning to the man. He grabbed him and put him into the police car, and they drove off. "Did I do the right thing?" Melissa asked the animatronics. "Absolutely. Most kids your age would have trusted him and gone for the candy. But you ran right inside to find the closest adult or animatronic who could help. That way we apprehended the man so he couldn't hurt anybody." Foxy told her. "That was a very brave thing to do." Toy Bonnie added. "Melissa! Time to go!" Her mom called. "Bye." She said sadly, hugging the toys especially hard, even toy Chica, then walked away. The next day at the scrapyard, Mangle was about to be scrapped, leaving the only remnant of the toys' personalities the memories of them. "Be brave." She told herself as her power faded for the very last time. "For Melissa."
