Beep-Beep-Beep Beep-Beep-Beep, went the alarm on my Ipod. Even though Freddy was right there, I couldn't resist glancing down at my iPod.
6:00am
There was a loud bang as the power came back on and when I looked up at the doorway again, Freddy was no where to be seen.
I went home, white as a ghost. I slept for nine hours straight- Bonnie haunting my dreams. When I finally awoke, I ate some left-over pizza before I sat down at my desk to think.
What the hell had happened at Freddy Fazbear's? I mean, I might not know much about animatronics, but I don't think they're supposed to roam around in the middle of the night scaring people to death.
Should I go work at Freddy Fazbear's again tonight? I thought of Freddy and I knew that I could never step in that restaurant again.
Or so I thought.
"So, Caleb, how was your night at Freddy Fazbear's?" Mum asked at dinner time. I nearly choked on my food when she asked that.
"Um, pretty good," I lied. I still hadn't told them I wasn't going back there tonight.
"Were you scared? I bet you were scared- you're scared of everything," smirked my little sister, Sophie.
"I wasn't scared- mind your business, dork-breath," I snapped.
"Caleb, mind what you say," Dad warned. Sophie poked her tongue at me and I kicked her from under the table. Mum gave me a smile.
"I'm so proud of you Caleb," she gushed.
"We both are. I can't believe how much you've matured," Dad grinned. I gave them a smile before sinking lower into my chair. What will my parents think now that I was about to quit. oh God, I can see it now.
One night! You quit your job after one night! You need to show more dedication in life, Caleb, my parents would say.
Hmmmmm, perhaps I should give the Night Guard thing one more shot?
So yeah, that's how I ended up on my second night at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Worst decision I ever made.
I parked by butt in the office chair and started to flick through the cameras. Everything was in it's proper place- for now. I was wondering if Bonnie would come and get me tonight when the phone rang.
It was Phone Guy.
"Hi Caleb! Didn't expect you to come back tonight! Not too many people last this long- I mean, usually they, um, move on. Career opportunities open up everywhere, you know?" Phone Guy gave a laugh and I rolled my eyes. This guy bugged me.
"I dropped your pay in the letter-box, did you get it? I hope so." frowned when he mentioned that. Mum had opened the letter box to find an envelope filled with a hundred dollars with my name on it. It was a bit weird to receive my pay like that. But a shrugged it off.
You take what you get and you don't whine about it, was what Granny had always said. I frown as an old distant memory drifted into my brain. But it fluttered out of my reach before I could grasp it. Phone Guy continued to prattle on about this and that.
"Take care, Caleb, and I'll see you tomorrow," Phone Guy said finally. Once again, I found myself alone in the dark.
