Chapter 2: Meetings

Bonnie stood in front of the sleeping night guard, with an evil grin thinking about how lucky he is that he doesn't have to put any effort into trying to catch the poor sap. He slowly reached for the guard's throat, savoring the moment so he can remember just how easy it was to get this idiotic guard. Bonnie's hand was about two feet away, when suddenly he felt a strange, almost shocking, sensation start running through his body. He tried moving, but his body refused to do what it was told. 'What's going on?' The rabbit thought panicking, 'Why can't I move?' Thomas started to chuckle, and he lifted his hat up so he could see the look on whatever animatronic's face that tried to get him. "Wow, I can't believe that worked." he said, looking up at the rabbit, "And here I thought I would actually have to put effort into working here, silly me." Bonnie started to struggle against his invisible binds, making Thomas laugh even more. 'What the heck did he do to me?!' Bonnie thought trying to struggle even more.

Twenty Minutes Earlier…

"The rune of control." Thomas read from his book, "Once charged, anyone who goes inside, other than the one who charges it, will be unable to do anything unless commanded by the one who placed it. The effects and duration of this rune will last only as long as the user keeps charging it." Thomas picked up the piece of white chalk that way kept in the book. "Well, this should work out quite fine." He memorized how the rune was drawn in his book, and began to copy it onto the floor of the office, under his chair. Once he was done, it extended just far enough from the chair that nobody who steps inside would be able to touch him. "Ok, time to hide it." Tapping into his arcane power, Thomas attempts to try element channeling. Element channeling, allows the caster to control, and manipulate the magical elements that make up the world. These elements include, fire, water, earth, air, light, darkness, ice and lightning. "Mighty light, bend to my will and hide this rune from sight!" The light in the office grows somewhat dimmer, and the rune also begins to vanish from sight. "And now," he began placing his hands on where the rune is located, "charge!" Thomas felt the energy leaving his body, and enter the now invisible rune. "Whew," Thomas said, slumping into the chair and pulling his hat down feeling somewhat drained from using his powers, "I need a nap."

Thomas just stared at the helpless rabbit with a smile, "Alright, enough of that, I'll give you control of your body back, but you are not to leave the stage for the rest of the night." Bonnie growled, 'As if, you're not my boss!' The rabbit's body started moving on its own, much to his dismay 'What the hell did this guy do to me!?' Once Bonnie was gone, Thomas gave one more small chuckle and pulled his hat back down. "This is going to be the easiest job ever." As Bonnie stepped back onto the stage, he felt that strange feeling in his body begin to disappear. "What the heck just happened to me?" he said out loud, "I'm going to kill that guy!" Bonnie tried to walk off the stage, but the second any part of his body way over the stage that strange feeling came back and forced him to stay on the stage. Bonnie eventually gave up, and sat down in the middle of the stage. "What did that freak do to me?" "Bonnie, what are you doing on stage, weren't you going to get the guard?" The rabbit looked up, and saw Chica coming out of backstage, where Freddy and her were waiting for Bonnie to bring the guard. "He did something to me, Chica!" Bonnie said, a hint of panic in his voice, "I can't leave the stage, and when I went to get him something strange happened!" "Woah, calm down Bonnie," Chica said, walking over to the rabbit and giving his shoulder a reassuring squeeze, "now tell me what happened." Bonnie began to explain what happened to him, everything that occurred once he got to the office. "So I went to grab him, when suddenly this strange feeling overcomes my body. I tried to move but I couldn't and whenever he told me to do something, I did it like he was controlling me or something." Chica nodded as he finished, "Ok, so why can't you leave the stage again?" Bonnie let out a groan, "Because he told me I wasn't allowed to for the rest of the night. This guy is bad news Chica, I swear he isn't normal" "Ok, I'm going to see this for myself, this guy can't be much different from the other guards" Chica got off stage, and began to walk towards the east hallway. "Be careful Chica."

Chica made her way down the dark hallway, and started to hear someone snoring just like Bonnie did. She peeked through the window, and saw the guard sleeping in the chair with his hat down. 'He looks normal enough,' Chica thought, stepping inside the office, 'the only thing I see that's strange is that choice in hair color.' She got closer, so she way about four feet away from the guard. She was about to get closer when she heard him speak. "Unless you want to get controlled like the rabbit, don't take another step closer to me." Chica froze, staring at the guard while he lifted his hat up. They just stared at each other, looking into each other's eyes. 'Ok, two different colored eyes, that's not normal.' she thought taking a step back. Thomas smiled, "And I thought my life was strange already, but here I am talking to a robot chicken and rabbit in the same night." Chica's jaw dropped in shock, this was a first, usually when they went after the guards they would always scream and try to run. But this guy just sat there smiling and talking to them like it was no big deal. 'What is wrong with this guy!?' Chica started to feel a little scared, this guy definitely wasn't normal. "W-what did you do to Bonnie?" She asked shakily. Thomas chuckled, "Well, what do you know, they can speak. Well, my dear Miss Chicken, since you asked so politely I will show you." Chica started backing away, towards the door, "What do you mean show me?" Thomas closed his eyes, began to focus on light channeling he did earlier that night. The light in the office got brighter, and the rune that Thomas drew became visible. "What you see below me is known as a rune of control. Anyone who steps inside becomes my puppet, and I can make them do whatever I want." Chica was horrified, "I almost stepped on that!?" Thomas shot her a reassuring look, "Hey, don't worry, I would've only made you stay out of the office the rest of the night." She seemed to calm down a little, "What about Bonnie, what did you do to him?" "Oh, the rabbit," Thomas said, leaning back in his chair, "don't worry, he'll be allowed to leave the stage come tomorrow night. I just needed to catch up on my sleep." Chica was relieved, "Thanks, I was worried about what you did to him." Thomas just waved off the comment, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you guys unless you force my hand." Chica was uncertain on how to feel about that, "Well, um, thanks, I guess."

Thomas looked at the clock on his phone, and saw that it was about ten till six. "You should get back to the stage, it's almost opening time." Chica looks at the clock in the hall, "Oh, I guess it is. Thanks nightguard." She goes to walk out the door, when he says, "My name is Thomas, just so you know." Chica turned her head back towards him, "Oh, um, I'm Chica." She walked out the door, and back to the stage. 'She was nice.' Thomas thought, turning to the rune on the floor, 'Well, time to hide you again.' Closing his eyes and focusing, Thomas bent the light of the room to hide the rune and cut off the supply of energy he was sending into it. A bell then rang, signaling that it was now six A.M. Letting out a sigh, Thomas gathered his things into his pack, and proceeded towards the exit. Passing into the Dining Hall, Thomas decided to say one more thing before leaving. "This has been quite swell guys," he said leaning against a chair, "I'll see you guys tomorrow, and this is just a little advice from me. Don't try to kill me, because as that rabbit has figured out, it's not possible. Anyway, I gotta get going, so bye." He walked to the door, and turned back around giving a brief wave good bye, then left for home.

Once the guard was out of sight, Freddy turned towards Bonnie. "What did he mean by that exactly?" he asked crossing his arms. Bonnie looked away, "I don't know, he was somehow able to control me." Chica decided to speak up, "He said you stepped on something called a rune of control. Thomas said that he's able to control anyone who steps inside it." Freddy narrowed his eyes at the chicken, "And how exactly do you know that and the guard's name?" She scratched the back of her head nervously, "W-we may have talked for a little bit." Freddy was mad, "Chica, you're not supposed to talk to them, the guards are evil! That's why we kill them!" She shrunk away from the bear, "But, he seemed nice to me." "He was just tricking you," Freddy said, "don't talk too him again understand?" She reluctantly nodded her head. "Good, now onto other business," He walked over to the Pirate's Cove. "FOXY!" he yelled, "Your turn!" A red fox poked his head out of the starry curtains, "Aye, it will be done." Freddy smiled evilly, and walked back to his place on stage, but Chica was having second thought about killing the guard, 'He was so nice to me though.'

Thomas: As if that fox can get me.

Me: Don't you think you're being a little too cocky Thomas?

Thomas: Nah, I've got magic on my side.
