CHAPTER 2: A TEAM
"I-uh, okay?" I'm pretty sure Nightvern slapped himself as we entered the home. It was nice in there. Pictures of people hung on the wall, some with blood on them. I wonder what happened to those people. Most likely dead.
"Come on, tubby. My group's waiting." Nightvern said as he led me downstairs. "I'm not fat." I whispered. He chuckled as he flipped a light switch.
A table and couple of chairs laid in the middle of the basement. I saw some old blankets in the corners. Didn't he say a group? "Where your group?" I questioned.
"Probably searching for food, meds, or something." He answered quickly. He sat in one of the chairs and beckoned me to sit in one. When I did, he said to me, "We better wait. Can't tell it without them." The wyvern smiled at me. I nervously smiled back. "So, tubs, how'd ya get in there? Been trying for weeks now, and suddenly you burst out of there."
"I-I think someone put me there."
"Really?" Abruptly, the door slammed opened. I jumped and looked at the door. Four animatronics walked down the stairs. A bull, bunny, wolf, and dragon stared at me while I stared back. "Your back. Where were you?" Nightvern asked them. The bull glanced at him, and stated, "Looking for stuff. The norm. Who's he?"
"I am Freddy Fazbear. How are you?" I politely smiled. The bull scolded. "You brought a random guy off the streets?" He shot at Nightvern.
"Dude, BB, chill." The dragon told the bull. While they spoke, I took notice of what they looked like.
The bull, BB, was black, with a brown head. One of his horns was broken. I pondered how to broke. He wore a hoodie, with the word, 'Mess with me, I dare you'. His pants were black with chains hanging on the sides. His Jordan's were white and black.
The dragon, who defended me, was red, with black spikes running down his back. His teeth poked out of his mouth, too big for it. His turquoise eyes glowed under the light.
The wolf was bone skinny, and shorter than the others. Much like the dragon, she also had glowing turquoise eyes. Her fur was a really, REALLY dark blue. She looked younger than any else.
The bunny had black tipped ears. His body was silver and gray. All of his belly was silver. He had a lean muscular build, making him looked tough.
"Hey, tubby." I snapped out of my thoughts. Nightvern stood in front of me. "Zone out, bud?" He asked.
"I guess." I admitted. He snickered and faced his team mates. "As he had said, he is Freddy Fazbear. He came out of that building we've been trying to get in."
"Really?" BB once again glanced at me. He sighed and simply went back upstairs. We watched him leave. "Sorry about that, tubs. He has trust issues."
"Why?"
"Siblings left him when he saved them."
"Oh." I said quietly. That must of been terrible for him. The other three sat in the remaining chairs and we started a conversation.
"I'm Tundra. Fitting for my fur, no?" The bunny asked.
"Yes, it is." I answered. The wolf smiled and held out her hand. "Aimee. A-i-m-e-e." I shook Aimee's hand. The dragon nodded his head. "Lee."
Nightvern coughed to gain our attention. "So, want to hear the story?"
"What story?" I asked, wondering.
"You're gonna tell him about what happened, aren't ya?" Lee spoke, excited. I glanced at him, then at Nightvern. Aimee tapped her finger on table. Tundra smirked as he watched us all. "Are you gonna tell or am I?" he said to Nightvern.
"I will, Tundra." He inhaled and began.
"About a month ago, a man came in a hospital, throwing up everything in his stomach. He was sweating, pale, bags under his eyes. Doctors quickly attended to him, trying there best. A day later, he died for a heart attack. But, he kept moaning and moving his hands. Soon, the doctors showed the same symptoms as the man."
"Soon, the world was overrun by the dead. We are the only, 'living' thing, besides animals."
"So, there's no humans?" I asked, worried. Nightvern shook his head, giving me a deadpanned look. "W-Well, it was nice to meet you guys, but I need to go. Now."
"Wait, why?" Tundra questioned, standing up as I did. "I need to find my friends."
"Where are they? We'll help. Right, guys?" Aimee announced, glancing at everyone in turn. The others nodded in agreement. I was stunned by it. Why would they want to help me? A random stranger? "Why?" I asked.
"Why not?" The rabbit answered, wiggling his ears. I smiled. "Well, let's go then!"
