Hi,
So this is my first story so if this starts a bit slow or gets boring im sorry. If you think any ideas resemble any other stories please tell me (In a nice way) so i don't cause any trouble. In this story i've decided a 19 year old girl called Charli has taken up the night guard job shortly after moving to the area, she hasn't heard about the bite of '87 so see's in a big shock when she see's the animatronics move... but thats not all... they seem to be able to shift to human forms... *Rated T for swearing*
[1pm ~ small apartment Charli lives in]
My eyes scanned the newspaper looking for a job that requires no skills whatsoever and pays enough for my rent, Everything i come across are things that you need skills for or when i've called up the job has been taken. I was about to give up hope when a advert near the bottom of the page caught my eye -Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria, Night guard wanted- Trying not to get my hopes up in case you needed to have experience the small chunk of writing just explained about how they want a guard. I picked up my phone and typed in the number, after four rings the receiver picked up and grumbled a tired & stressed hello this is Mr Fazbear owner of Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria speaking.
"Hello, I'm calling about the night guard shift job" Charli says crossing her fingers hoping that it hasn't been taken.
"T-the night guard shift? Oh yes!" at first he sounds like it was some kind of joke but recovers quickly "Ahh yes, the night guard job. Still on the market if you want it" He speaks into the phone sounding desperate
"Yes, yes please ill take it! Do i need to come down for an interview or anything?" Charli asks with excitement
"Well, if you could come down in about an hour or two i could give you a tour and just run some things over with you that would be marvellous" He says trying to act casual but i can tell theres something in his voice telling me theres something being hidden but shrug it off
"I can come round about 2pm if thats ok?" Charli says looking at the small kitchen clock sat on the counter which needs to be put up, 1:26
"That would be great" He says cheerily trying to speak over the loudness of the children in the pizzeria "Ill see you then, Bye" He says and quickly cuts off
Strange, i think to myself but shrug it off going to have a quick shower and change into clean clothes. I pull my hair up into a high ponytail and grab my keys heading to my car. I get in and start driving towards the pizzeria, I look at the clock as i pull up with 5 minutes to spare. I stroll into the pizzeria looking around for someone to tell me where to go, I see a girl who looks like she's in her mid 20's and walk over to her hoping she'll know where to go.
"Errr hi, I'm here about the nightguard shift. I called about 20 minutes ago" Charli says giving her a friendly smile
"T-the nightguard shift?!" Her cheery smile drops but she quickly recovers "Oh yes, you'll want to see the owner if you go up those steps and to the first door on the right he'll be in there" She says giving me a synthetic smile and walks off quickly
"God this people are acting weird" I mutter to myself as i climb up the stairwell, I stop in front the door and give to soft knocks before waiting to be called in. A man comes to the door who seems to be in his late 50's, his stomach was plump and the suit he was wearing looked a tad to small. The bags under his eyes drooped low and his eyes looked like there were about to close any second from lack of sleep.
"Ahh, are you the young girl who called about the night guard job?" He says giving me a weak smile
"I am" I give him a small nod and step into the office as he motions for me to come in. He closes the door and sits down in his chair behind the table, I sit awkwardly on the uncomfortable wooden chair on the opposite side and wait for him to talk.
"Ahh before i start rambling away could i ask for your name? I didn't catch it on the phone" He pulls folder which seems to have employee names in and looks up eagerly waiting for my reply.
"Its Charli, Charli Thornbury" I say playing with my fingers in my lap nervously
"Ah ok, now let me just explain a few of the basics and we'll start the tour" He smiles
"Ok" I give a nervous smile hoping that something doesn't come up and make it so i can't have the job.
"So this job is very simple. Your shift starts at 12pm but it's best if you come in early, it then ends at 6am Mondays - Fridays, so it's best if you start editing your sleeping times now before you start so your body adjusts. There are camera's set up around the pizzeria every now and again check them with the tablet that will be in your office, but remember to conserve power as money is tight right now" he rambles on about how the other employees leave around 11:30-11:50pm and come in just after six. "All you need to do now is sign this contract that you agree to the job and will work a full week before being able to quit" He quickly passes over the sheet of paper with a load of words on and i sign it only half reading some.
"Done" i say passing it back over "Is there still time for that tour?" I say eagerly wanting to see the pizzeria
"Ahh yes, come with me and i'll show you your station and all the other important parts of the pizzeria" Mr Fazbear says jumping up from his chair and leading me out to the main stage area. We stop in the center of the room and i look around seeing three animatronics on the stage singing some weird edited song and some surrounding the stage while others run around throwing bits of food or screaming. Mr Fazbear explains about how it is very popular and gives the names of the singing animatronics. He then leads me past the stage to show me the arcade room, I stop at a large area hidden by a purple curtain. I go to pull it back but the owner stops me before i get a good look at what's inside.
"Ahh no you must go in there..." He rubs the back of head and i can guess he was hoping to avoid that certain area "An old animatronic is in there but he is out of order and needs to be left alone now let's carry on with the tour" He avoids eye contact and gives me a small nudge to move away before walking towards the arcade.
"But.. its..." i can barely finish my sentence as he shoots off trying to act casual. We near the end of the tour and we stop in the main room again.
"Do you have any questions before you leave?" He says and gives off a weird vibe.
"No not right now but if i do i'll let you know" I smile and give a small wave as he walks away quickly after being told he has an emergency phone call
I turn to the stage as the animatronics finish their song, i get suddenly nervous as all three turn towards my direction and give off a stare like their looking into my soul. I turn round quickly and head towards my car putting the uniform the he gave me during the tour and drive home quickly. Its around half 4 when i get home but after skipping lunch I'm starving so i order chinese. I lie on the sofa while i wait for it to be delivered and think about tomorrow night when i start, i try and figured out why everybody gave off a weird vibe when the night guard shift was mentioned. i shrugged it off and got up to answer the door to the take away person and made sure i had a early night...
So that was the first chapter of Fnaf: Hidden Secrets, I'm sorry if it was a bit slow but things should get more interesting as the first night begins in the next chapter. Please don't hate as this is my first but do leave a review so i can improve :) The second chapter will be up by tomorrow.
