Survive Another Night

'(Yawn) Tikki… How much longer do I have to keep walking?'

Marinette looked with tired eyes, it had all been chaos. What she first thought was a normal job came out to be a living hell. She sat down on the sidewalk, her head started to fall heavy as she fell asleep. Tikki flew over to her, folding her arms

'Come on Marinette, you can't sleep here'

'Why not~ Come on Tikki, I can't take one more step'

Tikki giggled

'What if Adrian sees you sleeping here? What would he think?'

Marinette jumped up springing back to life one more. Regaining her balance, she continued to walk down the street till she finally reached her house. In reaching the house, Marinette looked back to Freddy's.

'Hm.. Hey Tikki'

She frowned while keeping her voice hushed

'Yes Marinette'

Marinette looked at the ground

'Let's keep this a secret from everyone, okay?'

Tikki's eyes widened, hadn't Marinette said she would contact them before?

'Marinette! You can't go back there alone! You need help!'

Tikki panicked. Marinette tried to calm her down

'Come on Tikki, m-maybe this was all just some sort of crazy hallucination! Maybe I was just hearing and seeing things you know?'

Tikki looked at Marinette

'Phone guy's messages were giving me the creeps, so why wouldn't I have freaked out? They freaked you out too didn't they?'

Tikki nodded

'So, that combined with your supernatural sense could have just lead to some confusion created by our fears.'

Tikki rubbed her arm uncomfortably, she knew that it wasn't a hallucination, it couldn't be, it was all too real. Either way, this wasn't the time to make Marinette stress out, she was having enough issues handling her new job.

'(Sigh) Alright Marinette, I believe you. Now let's get inside, you need some sleep haha'

Marinette smiled and laughed, she took the key out of her pocket and opened up the door.

'If something bad happens in the next shift, I promise, 100% promise, that I will call the others, okay Tikki?'

Tikki flew pass Marinette

'You better silly'

7:30pm

Marinette lay in bed sleeping, since the moment she got into bed, she hadn't moved an inch. Tikki slept in a little special box designed room with a bed that Marinette had designed for her, it even had lights. Her parents had tried to wake her up, but were unsuccessful, so they decided it would be for the best to let her sleep.

-—-

9:34pm

Marinette shifted uncomfortably in bed, she could swear there was someone, something calling her.

"Marinette… Save us…"

She pulled the blankets up to cover her face

"SAVE US"

The voice became distorted, angry, frustrated

"SAVE THEM!"

Marinette woke up startled with a hand on her head, which was boiling. She huddled her legs in and tried to breath more steadily. In getting herself under control, Marinette stood up and walked down stairs, trying not to wake her parents. She tripped while walking down and expected someone to appear, but nothing happened.

'They must be out…'

She wiped her forehead in relief, she didn't want to explain what happened at Freddy's to them, they would never let her go back if she did. She walked towards the fridge and got her water bottle, she chugged down a heap of water.

'Ahhh! That was nice. What time is it?'

She looked at the clock to see 9:46pm.

'Hm… I'll try to get some more sleep…'

Marinette slumped back upstairs and flopped down onto her bed. Tikki didn't make a sound, but poked her head out to see Marinette awake, she turned away and decided not to ask or say anything for now.

11:39pm

Marinette was roused awake by Tikki

'Owww… What time is it Tikki?'

'Time for your shift'

She chirped. Marinette flopped out of bed, rubbing her eyes

'Well, let's get going then, I have the night guard uniform on anyway'

Tikki laughed

'You were so tired, you just fell asleep the moment your face had contact with the pillow'

-—-

11:57pm

Marinette sat down, staring at the blank tablet, was everything really just a dream? Or was it all real? Tikki could feel the same presences as the night before, this time, it was much more aggressive.

'Marinette, something had changed, the energy I could feel yesterday has become more aggressive.'

She gave a worried glance over to Marinette, she looked back at Tikki, this wasn' what she wanted to hear.

'Hey, what could be the worst that could happen? We'll be fine'

She gave her usual big bright smile, this time, it was more forced.

Ring. Ring.

'The phone guy! I didn't think he would have left more than one recording'

"Uhh, hello? Hello?'

Tikki sat on Marinette's shoulder, she glanced down at the recorder. What phone guy said next gave Marinette shivers down her spine

"Freddy and his friends tend to become more active as the week progresses"

Marinette took ahold of the tablet, she wasn't going to take her eyes off any of the animatronics tonight, not a chance. If phone guy's message wasn't enough to creep Marinette out, seeing 3 animatronics staring right at the camera was.

'Eek! Tikki! Look!'

Freddy, Bonnie and Chica all glared at Marinette through the camera, their eyes were empty, glassy, yet there was anger, hate, revenge. Tikki felt as if she had been hit by a wall, a wall of energy to be more precise. They wanted them out, they wanted them dead, she could feel it and she knew it.

'Marinette, we have to get out of here'

Marinette stood her ground, she wasn't going anywhere, she needed the money and was willing to spend another night at Freddy's for it.

'Don't worry Tikki, this could all be just some elaborate prank. I will not fall for it'

Tikki sighed, it seemed that Marinette's determination to get some extra cash wasn't going to be broken by some haunted animatronics that are trying to kill her.

12:49am

Bonnie had disappeared to the hall, Chica was still sitting with Freddy. Meanwhile, Foxy was already sticking his head out the curtain. Marinette had completely forgotten about the fox animatronic since when she first came, she never saw him or heard of him.

'Marinette, have you checked Pirate's Cove?'

Tikki had been checking the doors often incase one of the animatronics decided to show up while Marinette had been checking the cameras so often and was drawing new designs in her journal. She jumped as Tikki scared her

'Wait? F-Foxy?!'

Tikki flew over to Marinette's side as she scrambled through the cameras, looking for Pirate's Cove. There, Foxy was staring at the camera just like the others had been, it's eyes were slightly glowing.

'H-He is starting to leave the cove Tikki'

Marinette's hands began to shake

'Tikki… I'm starting to think that maybe you were right all along…'

-—-

1:22am

SMASH!

Marinette slammed her body against the door button, she couldn't find Chica on any of the cameras so that only meant one thing. She turned the light on to reveal a large yellow chicken with it's mouth open, staring at her from the outside

'Tikki, tell me I'm just having nightmares'

'I wish I could Marinette, I wish I could…'

Tikki approached the animatronic while Marinette went back to checking the cameras for the other animatronics. Tikki whispered

'Please, tell me, why are you doing this? What happened to you?'

All she could do was hope that the animatronic would be able to understand her, well, what was inside the animatronic. Chica tilted her head down slightly, she closed her mouth for a moment before letting out a horrifying shriek

'HISKSK!'

Marinette looked towards Chica with a horrified expression, the large chicken then left back to the main stage. Tikki stayed frozen on the spot, that screech, it sounded somewhat like a kid screaming?

'T-That was c-creepy'

Marinette swallowed back her screams, this wasn't a time to be afraid, this was a time to survive, survive another night at Freddy's.

-—-

3:54am

'AHHH! TIKKI! HELP!'

Marinette screamed terrified, the Fox was gone. There was a loud banging sound from the heavy animatronic feet sprinting down the hall. Marinette only saw a glimpse of the animatronic Fox and that was enough for her to see her life disappear before her eyes.

SMASH!

SLAM!

Tiiki rushed across the room and pressed down on the button seconds before the fox animatronic could get it's head inside of the office. It slammed it's body against the door, Marinette held her head, what if the fox got inside of the room? Tikki glanced over to Marinette, who was having a meltdown

'Marinette, we WILL get through this, don't worry'

Marinette lifted her head, she gave a small smile and nodded. This was going to be one long night.

-—-

4:12am

There was only 35% power left, Marinette sat well pressing the light on the left door, Bonnie had been there for about 10minutes, staring at Marinette which was freaking her out. Tikki would guard the other door and remind Marinette to check the tablet so often.

'Tikki, I don't know if I can take this any longer'

She tried to get up but struggled to stand, her legs felt cramped from running side to side and jumping in surprise to the animatronics scaring her. Tikki looked at Marinette and smiled

'We are nearly there Marinette, just hang in there'

-—-

5:35am

'CRAP!'

Tikki pressed the door button right before Chica could get ahold of her, that was too close. Marinette half lay on the floor as she had tripped when pressing the door button. Foxy had made another sprint from the cove towards the office and caught Marinette off guard. Foxy glared from the window, Marinette didn't intend to make eye contact but did anyway, Foxy gave a frightening smile and turned away.

-—-

6am

The bell went off finally, setting Marinette and Tikki free from the hell hole they got themselves into. Marinette took her phone out immediately sending a message to Adrain, Nino and Alya.

"Hey Adrien, Nino, Alya.

Could you please come to the local park at 7am? I need to tell you all something really important and it's urgent. Thanks! See you soon!"

-—-

Adrien poked his head out of bed, his messy hair covered his eyes. His phone was on the floor with a new text message he just received. He reached down to picked it up

'Who would send a text so early (yawn)…'

Adrien squinted his eyes

'Marinette?'

He tilted his head confused, his hair still covering his eyes and making it hard to see anything. He wiped it away and began to read the message.

'Important? Urgent?!'

Adrien flung his bed covers to one side, this wasn't a time to be sleeping, something bad could have happened.

'Plagg! Get up! We have to get going!'

He shouted across the room, Plagg slept in a specially designed box just like Tikki, but Adrien had sent it to be especially made for Plagg. The black cat awoke, it stared from it's home with sleepy eyes.

'Do we seriously have to go Adrien? Can't we just sleep? (Yawn mixed with a meow)

Adrian gave him a glare

'Yes, we do'

He was serious. Still, he knew Plagg wouldn't be happy unless he was given something more

'(Sigh) Yeah yeah I'm coming Adrain…'

Adrien smiled

'Hey Plagg~'

Plagg looked up annoyed

'What?'

'Who want's some fresh, smelly, delicious, Camembert? I kept it just for you~'

'YES! I'LL GO! GIVE ME THAT CAMEMBERT!'
