Chapter 2

"Have you ever had one of those slow-motion moments? For example, when you drop your ball of ice-cream and you watch as it slowly falls to its impending doom? Or that moment when your phone slips and all you can do is pray it doesn't fall face-down? Now imagine a 6.8 foot robot duck, chicken, thing standing not 3 feet away from you. How would you react? Would you freeze on the spot? Say your last prayers? Or would you do what I did?"

Never in my life had I seen myself move so fast. "No, seriously, I didn't even see my hand move." A heavy slab of metal prevents me from having to look at the monstrosity any longer. The door had come down. I grabbed the bin located under my desk and upchucked whatever was in my gut. When I was done with the horrible process, I lifted my head, wiped my mouth with the back of my hand and looked out the window. Big mistake. There she was, in all her yellow, feathery glory, staring at me through the window with pain filled eyes...wait what? "No, seriously. This thing looked like it was gonna cry on me."

"What do you want?"

I sounded pathetic, weak. I was glad I was sitting down because I'm pretty sure my legs would not have supported me. I was shivering like a chihuahua in the rain. Actually, it felt more like quaking.

"I just...I just wanted to hang out."

That weirded me out. Not because it came from a killer animatronic, well that too, but what weirded me out the most was how... HUMAN it sounded. I thought there would be some kind of robotic static or metallic sound but this...this was too real.

"Why don't you hang out with the rest of the animatronics?" I reached for my duffel bag, not once breaking visual contact of this...this thing.

"They are sooooooo booooooooaring! I have to listen to them every night, talking about how they did this, and nearly did that."

I pulled out my water bottle and took a few swigs to get some fluids back in my system.

"You get bored?" This thing was more human than I thought. Good job manufactures.

"Yeah. Why wouldn't I?"

Cause you're a robot, is what I wanted to say but I thought better of it. Chika shifted her glance from me to the hallway behind me.

"I'd close that door if I were you."

I was really confused now. Then I remembered there were other animatronics in this hell hole. Not even bothering to check the cameras, I jumped to the other side of the room and mashed the door button. A few seconds later, I heard the faint metallic sound of an animatronic foot meeting the concrete floor. Learning from my previous mistake, I decided to use the cameras to check who was out there instead of using the hallway lights. The picture was grainy but I could still see the distinct features of Bonnie the Bunny standing right outside my office.

"You're welcome."

I half jumped, remembering that Chika was still waiting by the other door.

"Why did you help me?"

She was an animatronic too, so why did she prevent one of her buddies from getting to me?

"Because I learned that you night guards are homo sapiens, not endoskeletons. The others won't believe me though. They are so thick in the head."

There was a sound of metal connecting with metal as Bonnie's fist connected with the door.

"Every time!" I heard him shout from my position under the table...wait, how did I get here? And why am I hugging my legs?

I got out from under the table on heard a light giggling sound. Chika had her hands to her mouth and was trying to suppress her laughter. For some reason, I felt my face burning up. Why was I getting embarrassed over this?

"What's so funny?" Still weak from my previous endeavour, it took me a while to locate my stash of Snickers.

"Oh nothing, I've just never seen a human move that fast before. I'm pretty sure you broke a record."

"Oh ha ha very funny" I said with a mouthful of chocolaty goodness. A sense of humour, another feature these things had. I need to make a list.

"Anyway, I think I'll head over to the kitchen. You want anything?"

Swallowing the rest of the chocolate, I considered for a second. Chika had protected me, which was weird since I was pretty sure all the animatronics wanted to brutally murder me. I had a nightstick if anything went wrong anyway.

"Sure. You got any pizza?" no turning back now.

"You do know this is a pizzeria right?" she gave me one of those 'Are you serious?' looks. This list is getting longer and longer by the minute.

"Yeah, I knew that. I just wasn't sure you still had after closing."

"Anyway, I'll bring you a slice on my way back."

She walked off down the hall and I noticed light swing in her hips. I also realised I had been staring at a particular..."asset" for a bit longer than I thought. These guys really didn't leave out any details. I checked my watch. 4:30. Wow, time really flies when you're cowering under a desk. The door came down again and I returned to my seat to check the cameras. I saw Chika in the kitchen retrieving some leftover pizza from a freezer and placing it in the oven. Chika noticed the red light was on on the camera, turned to it and gave a small wave. I waved back...*facepalm* "What? Don't act as though you've never done something like that before. You know, telling a waiter to enjoy their meal too?" I switched to the Pirate Cove camera to check on Foxy. The curtains had been drawn back a bit more so I got to see Foxy for a split second before he (at least I think it was a he, the fur around...its neck seemed very bushy. Maybe too bushy.) zipped back behind the curtains. Bonnie and Freddy were also on the move. Bonnie still looked pissed from earlier, but hey! I was alive so I didn't care. 30 minutes of camera surfing later and Chika returns with a plate in one hand and her signature cupcake in the other. I hesitated for a second. What if this was all a ruse? What if she really is planning on killing me after I let her in? I'm not sure how effective my nightstick is against solid metal but I guess it could allow for a quick escape. Ah screw it. I pressed the button and in walked Chica. I'm 6 foot 2 and she still towered over me. It just added to her creepiness.

"Here's you Pizza…uh…" she handed me the plate.

"It's Nico, and thanks." I say as I take the plate from her and place it on the table to cool.

"Nice too meat you Nico!" she says and offers her right hand.

"Likewise Chica."

We shake hands for a second or so. Her hands were surprisingly soft but at least she didn't have one of those death grips. I guess working with children can have that effect on you no matter what you are. Chica made her way to the sofa and took a seat while I took a bite out of my pepperoni pizza. I should have checked how hot it was first. The hot oil under the surface burnt my tongue on contact and cursed before dropping the pizza on the plate. I stuck my tongue out and started fanning it with my hands since the fan on the desk was coated with dust.

"Told you it was hot." I hear Chica say from the sofa. I don't even bother responding and just take the pizza into my hands again and start blowing on it. I watch as Chica begins surveying the room, taking in every detail with her big, purple, anime-like eyes before moving onto the next item.

"This room is a lot smaller than I thought it was."

I turn towards her after successfully taking a bite out of my pizza without unleashing another tidal wave of pain on my tongue.

"Don't you get to see this office every day?"

"I do but…only from outside the window. You're the only security guard that has ever let me in before."

Can't say I'm surprised though. I mean, who in their right mind would let a towering robot chicken into their office after finding out that she wants to shove you into a robot suit? But she looked sad after that confession so I couldn't help but feel a little bad for her.

"Hey, Chica. You want a Snickers?" I can't believe I'm asking this. Does she even eat? Can she even eat?

"What's that? Is it some kind of candy or something?" she brightens up a tad after hearing my offer.

"Yeah, sort of! It's only the best chocolate bar known to mankind. Here, let me get you one."

I rummage through my duffel bag and pull out 2 of the heavenly sent chocolates. I stuff one in my shirt pocket and toss the other towards Chica.

"This doesn't look like chocolate." She says while turning the bar around in her hands.

"You're supposed to take the wrapper off first. Here let me show you."

I walk over to her and sit myself down beside her.

"May I?" I ask meaning to use her hands to rip open the wrapper.

"Uh, sure." She sounds a little flustered but lets me use her fingers to rip down the wrapper from the top.

"There, now you can eat it." I say and she looks at the brown coloured candy in her hand. She takes a tentative nibble of the top corner. Her slightly worried eyes go full anime after the taste seeps in and she gobbles the chocolate down in mere seconds. I stare dumbfounded at the incredible speed and subconsciously stuff my Snickers deeper into my pocket.

"That was AMAZING! How have I never heard of this gift of the gods!?"

Chica is suddenly full of energy and would most likely be bounding all over the place if not for the restricted space. I remember that my pizza is still there and head over to my desk to finish it off. Once that task is completed, I check my phone screen for the time. It's 5:50. I pull out the Snickers from my trousers and open it. The room went eerily quiet after I opened the chocolate bar. Chica was now staring at the bar that was located in my hands. Her pupils had contracted and I think I saw some drool hanging out the side of her mouth.

"Chica, what are you doing?"

I slowly moved the bar behind my back and her head followed. Once the bar was out of her field of view, she shook her head and her eyes returned to normal. She wiped the spittle hanging from her mouth and recomposed herself on the couch.

"Sorry about that. Guess I went feral there for a second." She placed her hand behind her head and rubbed it awkwardly.

"Alrighty then. I'm just gonna…"

I quickly turn around and shove the chocolate bar into my mouth before she can get another good look at it. I make sure to swallow before I start talking with her again.

"Hey, Chica. I need to head out soon. My shift ends in a few minutes. Shouldn't you head back on stage?"

"Yeah, you're probably right."

She sounds a little downhearted but gets up and heads for the door. I open it for her and takes the left turn heading for the stage.

"Hey Chica." I get the last Snickers bar out of my bag.

"Yeah?" She turns around and faces me.

I toss the chocolate bar at her and she catches it expertly with one hand.

"I had one more left. You can have it." Not sure if that was a good idea or not but, hey. She saved me from Bonnie and brought me pizza. I guess one little slip up was fine as long as she didn't physically hurt me.

"Really?" She goes all googly eyes on me and clutches the chocolate close to her chest.

"Sure, why not?" I shrug and am about to turn around when I hear her squeal like a school girl and come running at me. The next thing I know, I'm caught in what feels like the softest, most comfortable hug I have ever had in my life. My head was ended up wedged between two particularly soft components but I didn't care. It felt heavenly.

"THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!" I heard Chica squeal above me (remember, she's like, 6 foot 7). Recovering from the initial surprise, I return the hug.

"You're most welcome Chica."

She let's go and practically skips to the stage in joy and once again I find myself staring where I shouldn't be. "Hey, I'm pretty sure most of you would do the exact same thing so DON"T JUDGE ME!" I begin packing my things when my alarm goes off. 6 o'clock at last. Once I had made sure everything was packed, I made my way to the front door, avoiding eye contact with the animatronics. I remembered to lock up after myself, unhooked my bike from the bike stand and made my way home. Somehow, I felt like I was forgetting something though… Bah, I'm sure I'll remember it tomorrow.

Soooo? What did you think? Let me know in the reviews. The next chapter might take a little longer to finish since I'm writing my end of semester exams but there will be one nonetheless. So until next time guys. Shadowassassin out!
