Chapter 2
I had come to the conclusion that these two guys were insane. In the last three hours, making it 4 AM, they told me about their struggles as the Night Guard job back in '87, while I told them about mine back in the 90s. They only laughed at me, saying that, if they think that was hard, try winding a music box for a killer puppet that got mad when the music stopped.
"I had something like that…" I tell them. Fritz looks at me, actually intrigued while Jeremy was sticking to his job: The Lights. I had the cameras, and Fritz had the 'door'.
"Really?" I hear Jeremy ask. "Who was it? That over used Golden Freddy?" I could tell he was joking, but I was surprised to know that he knew about that. I thought that was only in my head. Maybe I'm not as insane as I thought I was.
"No. I had to watch over Foxy." Speaking of the devil… I checked the cameras to see him sitting, err standing actually, and getting ready to run. "He didn't like being looked at through the cameras, so the more I looked at him, or the less, he would come to check me out… Err, stuff me in a suit…" Jeremy checks the hallway with the flashlight.
"Not too bad… But, I wonder, what was it like?" He asks me. I look up from the little monitor that was the camera system and look at him. Popping up the maintenance panel for a second, I could tell that the systems were fine.
"What was what like?" I ask him. He only shakes his head, meaning 'Never mind'. I only nod my head, making it clear that I understood… I think. I check on Fritz, looking out into the hallway, making sure that nothing was happening. "Everything okay out there?" I ask him, making him jump. He looks back at me, looking scared. Him, scared?! He looked so tough, yet, there he was, shaking and shivering like he was cold.
"Everything's fine out there..." He says. He was hiding his fear well enough where it wouldn't make him stutter, but he was still shaking. I only nod my head, then, the thing I feared the most: The lights went out.
"Shit! The cameras went off line…" I inform them. Jeremy looks at me pissed, while Fritz comes walking into the room. I start to pace back and forth, thinking. In times of distress, I become a walking factory, literally. Jeremy and Fritz look at each other, and jump to the sound of footsteps. I look towards the door, when it hit me: The fake door!
"Okay guys, I have a plan, but you need to follow my every movement. Got it?" Neither one nod, but I can tell that they get it right away. "Okay, Fritz, I need you to put up the fake door and hold it there. Me and Jeremy will come up with some duct tape and wrap it around it." Fritz nods and goes to get the door.
"Are you even sure that there is duct tape in here?" Jeremy asks me. I don't answer, not even thinking about that.
"Don't tell Fritz, he looks scared enough." I tell him. He only nods my head. Taking out my phone and checking the time, I see that it is closing in on 5. 'Another hour before this hell ends.' Running as quietly as I could over to the desk where Jeremy was, I started to look for some kind of tape. I shuffled through there, not hearing the familiar jingle come on. I do hear Fritz whimper and I look at him, seeing him look out the window. I follow his gaze to see Freddy Fazbear, singing the Toreador March, facing flashing as the song played. Jeremy looks up and out the window as well, freezing up.
"Guys, fall to the ground on my mark…" I tell them.
"Why?! That way we'll be an even easier target for them to get?!" Jeremy silently screams. I look at him, scolding him like the bitch he was acting like.
"They'll think that we're empty suits. Hopefully…" I say. I look towards the window, seeing Freddy still doing his thing. "Must be the long song... He's taunting us." I say out loud. I look around the room to the other two, and see them looking at me. "Okay, ready?" I ask them. Both nod.
"1…." Freddy had stopped and started to head to the door.
"2…" He moves his hand up and down the door, probably seeing that it was fake.
"3…" Me, Jeremy, and Fritz fall to the ground, going as limp as we can. The fake door is punched through by Freddy and ripped to shreds by him too. He walks in, his feet a near 5 centimeters away from Fritz' head. I close my eyes, hoping that he will think that I'm not an endo. I hear more footsteps, coming closer then stopping. I hold my breath and start to count. I hear his rickety joints as he moves again, this time away from me. He stops one more time before walking off. I breathe out, stopping at the number 16. 16 seconds away from death. But, we're not dead, due to my quick thinking. I open my eyes, and jump up.
"Everyone okay?" I ask.
"Yea…" I hear Jeremy say, but I didn't receive an answer from Fritz. Jeremy notices this too, and asks, "Fritz? You there?" We sit in absolute silence for another good 5 seconds before finally we get a reply.
"I'm fine… Not dead at least, if that's what you mean." I smile a little. We survived our first night together.
"Guys… We did it!" I tell them. Fritz laughs nervously while Jeremy does nothing. Probably smiling, meaning he was happy to be alive. I was as well. "But we aren't out of the clear yet. We still have 4 more nights ahead of us, and that still depends if they want to give us over time." I say. Fritz stops laughing and starts to sob.
The phone rings, making me jump. I heard something crash towards the door, meaning that Fritz jumped as well. I pick up the phone. "Hello?" I ask.
"Am I on speaker?" the guy on the other end asks.
"No. Should I put you on speaker?" I ask. I get a small and weak yes from the other guy on the other side of the phone. I press the button for speaker, making the other two get up as well. "There, you're on speaker." I tell him.
"Good, now, let me talk, okay?" I don't say anything to that, but, apparently I didn't need to.
"Good. Now, you're probably wondering who I am. Just call me M, and I worked as the Night guard as well, just… before they went crazy. I had been able to come out of my office and talk to them like they were people. The animatronics had actually become nice, and, for once, wanted a night guard to talk to and hang out, as friends.
"Then, I was… Fired. I tried to buy out the company and, while I was successful, it failed later on since it was taken away from me. That's when shit went south.
"Another case of murders happened right before you started work here, Mr. Schmidt." I was taken aback. He knew my name. I start to stutter, and he picks up on it.
"You're confused, right? Well, I did own Freddy's for a while, so I was given the company paperwork of past employees. I almost shredded all of it up, but then I lost the company and someone else had taken over, building new animatronics to take their places.
"But these new animatronics didn't last long, since the new ones had been destroyed into nothing but, well… nothing. The company decided to just keep using the old ones, and, to make sure that nothing happens, messed with their programming. Lots of shit has happened since 1987, with the Bite happening…" He was silent for a moment before continuing. "Mr. Smith, may I ask this: How are you doing, since you saw the Bite happen?" Both I and Jeremy look over to Fritz, who was dumb-struck. "Told ya, now, one more thing before I go: I'm sorry about the cameras, which was my fault. Its kind a hard being the Day Guard after being a Night Guard here at Fazbear's. But just understand this: This will not be the last talk. Goodnight…" M hangs up, and the lights come back on.
"What the hell just happened?!" Jeremy screams. "He knew too much! How do we even know if he's telling the truth, huh?!" I just shrug my shoulders and grab my stuff, which was only my hat and Taser since I hadn't really brought much else. Fritz grabs his stuff and tries to leave, but I stop him.
"Wait…" I say, stopping Fritz in his tracks. "We need to understand what the hell is happening here. We are over our heads in this one. This isn't like the Fazbear restaurants we are used to. No, this time, we are in a hell on Earth that is bent front and back, around every nook and every cranny. We need to talk." I say. Fritz looks at me while Jeremy is just standing, staring.
"There is a Taco Bell right down the street from here. Say… 3 PM today?" I ask them.
"Yea sure." Fritz says. Jeremy only nods, not liking the idea of being bossed around by someone younger than him.
"Then, it's settled. Gentlemen, it is time for us to fight back, finally show those things who is boss!"
AN: Hey guys, how are you? I had some free time so, here is a new chapter. While we are on this topic, I'm sorry about not posting anything these past days. Life has been hard for me, with school and all. Do I even need to apologize? Yes I do!
Now, what did you guys think of the chapter? I actually had a small outline for myself while writing it, so this is it. I am having fun with this story! Also, there is a few references to my other story Five Nights of Insanity. Extra Brownie points to whoever gets them right. No, you will get a free hug from me! How's that for a prize…. Probably crappy but I don't have money so… That's out of the question.
But, anyone downloading/upgrading to Windows 10? I'm debating to. IDK, should I? Then again, it is a free upgrade so… Download it and see how I like it? Hm, maybe that'll work.
Thanks guys for taking the time to read my stories, means a lot to me! SO, thank you for reading and, as always, I will see you… Next Time. BYE BYE!
PS: Over 1800 words! How exciting!
