Chapter 1: The Night Guard's First Night
1993
Mike Schmidt walked in to Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria he had always wanted to work here as a kid until it was shut down due to oder really oder? He walked up to the animatronics, "Hey Freddy," he chuckled, "long time no see." A smirk crossed his face, "Long time since I've seen any of you, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy all the way in pirates cove." He looked at his watch 11:50, well my shift doesn't start for 10 minutes he walked around something was different he felt like he was being watched. He walked to a window it looked like Freddy was looking at him head tilted to the left, Mike turned around and Freddy was looking straight ahead on the stage, Mike looked at the time and headed to his security office.
Night #1 [12:00am]
Mike walked into his office and turned on the cameras"Here we go."
The phone started to ring he put it on speaker, "Hello, hello? Uh I wanted to record a message for you to help you get settled in on your first night. "
"That's nice." Mike said nervously.
The recording continued, "Um I actually worked in that office before you. I'm finishing up my last week now as a matter of fact."
"Okay." Mike muttered under his breath.
"So I know it can be a bit overwhelming, but I'm here to tell you there's nothing to worry about. Uh, you'll do fine. So, let's just focus on getting you through your first week. Okay?"
"Sounds good to me." Mike said, "Wait what the fuck am I doing? I'm talking to a god damn probably dead guy's recording."
"Uh, let's see, first there's an introductory greeting from the company that I'm supposed to read. Uh, it's kind of a legal thing, you know. Um, "Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. A magical place for kids and grown-ups alike, where fantasy and fun come to life. Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or person. Upon discovering that damage or death has occurred, a missing person report will be filed within 90 days, or as soon property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached, and the carpets have been replaced." The recording stated.
"That sets off my GTFO alarm, I can't stay her five nights." Mike stated scared.
"Blah blah blah, now that might sound bad, I know, but there's really nothing to worry about. Uh, the animatronic characters here do get a bit quirky at night, but do I blame them? No. If I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for twenty years and I never got a bath? I'd probably be a bit irritable at night too. So, remember, these characters hold a special place in the hearts of children and we need to show them a little respect, right? Okay."
Mike looked as Bonnie was walking off the stage, "What the fuck?"
"So, just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit." The recording played
"NO SHIT!" Mike shouted, "YOU COULDV'E MENTIONED THAT EARLIER!"
"Uh, they're left in some kind of free roaming mode at night. Uh...Something about their servos locking up if they get turned off for too long. Uh, they used to be allowed to walk around during the day too. But then there was The Bite of '87."
"There was a second bite?" Mike said curiously, "The sanitation errors must've been a cover up."
"Yeah. I-It's amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe, you know? Uh, now concerning your safety, the only real risk to you as a night watchman here, if any, is the fact that these characters, uh, if they happen to see you after hours probably won't recognize you as a person. They'll p-most likely see you as a metal endoskeleton without its costume on. Now since that's against the rules here at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, they'll probably try to...forcefully stuff you inside a Freddy Fazbear suit." The recording played.
"To hell they will." Mike shut the doors.
"Um, now, that wouldn't be so bad if the suits themselves weren't filled with crossbeams, wires, and animatronic devices, especially around the facial area. So, you could imagine how having your head forcefully pressed inside one of those could cause a bit of discomfort...and death. Uh, the only parts of you that would likely see the light of day again would be your eyeballs and teeth when they pop out the front of the mask, heh."
Mike vomited in his mouth, "I didn't need to know that but I'm bringing a gun tomorrow."
"Y-Yeah, they don't tell you these things when you sign up"."
"No they don't." Mike replied shaking his head.
"But hey, first day should be a breeze. I'll chat with you tomorrow. Uh, check those cameras, and remember to close the doors only if absolutely necessary. Gotta conserve power. Alright, good night." The recording finished.
"Okay so he checked a camera, "AH!" He shouted and nearly jumped out of his chair Bonnie was extremely up close to the camera, he checked his power, "Okay pretty good 85%." Mike heard breathing he checked the camera again Bonnie was gone. There was scratching on the door, "Shit." He blurted scared he checked the power, "71% & dropping."
"Gotta conserve power" he remembered the recording the scratching had stopped Mike check with the light Bonnie is gone he opened the door, checked Pirates Cove and immediately shut the door Foxy was getting ready to run.
He walked over and sat in his seat, "Ugh!" He shouted as his head faced the ceiling he looked straight and saw a decaying golden Bonnie suit, "Holy fuck!" He fell backwards.
"It's Me" a demonic voice said waking Mike up he checked the time, 4:50 a.m., he checked the Battery, 35% he opened the doors since they were taking up power. The hour of 5 seemed to last forever he was at 10% when the clock struck 6 and his alarm sounded he looked at the cameras all the animatronics were all back in their proper straight ahead, what the hell?" He said exhausted.
Day #1 Schmidt House [6:50am]
I'm
Mike walked into his house with groceries and other stuff.
"Hey." Mike's wife said standing in the doorway wearing a bath robe, "So how was work?" She asked moving to hug him. He hugged her tight as if it could be the last time.
"Dangerous, scary, and long." Mike answered exhausted..
"How was it dangerous."his wife asked curious.
Mike chuckled, "Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy tried to kill me and I heard a voice in my head." He said as the embrace ended.
"You sound crazy " she replied through giggles taking his hand.
"I know Michelle." Mike said as they walked to the couch and they started watching television. He rested his head on Michelle's shoulder, "I got a pre-recorded message from a guy who I'm pretty sure is dead, he told me that the animatronics are left in a free -roam mode, I can't let them see me or they'll try to stuff me in a suit and that will kill me, the only parts of me that will see the light off day are my eyes and teeth. Apparently it will start getting tough tonight." He said as his eyes were heavy.
Michelle started stroking his hair she looked at the bags on the counter, "That explains the firearms." She mumbled as she heard light snoring when she looked at her husband he was asleep on her shoulder. A few minutes later Mike woke with a jolt, "I need to stop sleeping on this couch I always have nightmares." He got off the couch and changed out of his uniform until it was just his under-shirt, boxers, and socks he crawled into bed and wrapped his arms around her waist, a smile crossed her sleeping face. Mike got a good six hours of sleep and he spent the day at a nearby firing rang, he came home at 7:00p.m with supplies to try to keep the animatronics from leaving the stage , he kissed Michelle and headed to the showered and put on clean clothes at 8 o'clock he and his wife ate dinner, at 10:50, he left the apartment to arrive early he had to prepare for the night, because he'll be damned if he doesn't survive four more nights. He put his firearms in a duffle bag he looked at his wife, Michelle had over the day come to believe him a worried expression on her face, they embraced and shared a sweet kiss Before Mike walked out of the apartment.
