Mary stepped out of her car into the refreshing night air. It was a relief to the stress she had today. In the morning she had been certain she'd never get a job again and now she was security guard at a children's pizza place. It's all like a twisted game where the developers try to get to the interesting parts as fast as possible.

The guard shook her head. what was she thinking? It was just a hectic day. Nothing else. Mary wasn't surprised when she saw Vincent leaning at the front doors of the pizzaria, smiling. Scott had already told her that Vincent would meet her at the beginning of the night. "Hi there Mary! Ready to guard the crap out of this place?" He said while turning around and unlocking the doors. "Uuuh i think so-" she replied, surprised by his chioce of words and followed Vincent inside.

The pizzaria was illuminated warmly and gave Mary a cozy feeling. The only 'bad' thing was the smell of chemicals, which seemed to become stronger during the night. But Vincent didn't seem to mind, so she just ignored it. "Scott told me to give you a tour of this place, because he had no thime this morning." He told her and gave her an Uniform. " But before we start, try this on. You can change in the Bathrooms" Mary was surprised. Her own uniform! She immediatly turned to the East hallway and stormed into the woman's bathroom. A few minutes later she watched herself in the mirror. Trousers and shoes black with a long sleeved light blue shirt and a red bowtie, she thought that she looked good. Suddenly, she heared a voice calling out for her and hurried back into the dining hall, where a slightly impatient Vincent was waiting. He pionted wordless at a clock which said twenty to twelve and started their tour.

"Scott showed you the cameras, so the only thing you really need to see before your shift starts is the kitchen. As you may have noticed, there is no video feed on that camera. That's because we don't want anyone to see how we make our food."

"Why wouldn't you want anyone to see that?"

"Eeh to keep our special recipies a secret." Vincent replied a bit nervous and showed her the kitchen. It was pretty uninteresting, so their tour was soon finished and the two went to Mary's new office. It had been cleaned up for her and on the table was the tablet to watch the cameras with and a small drink. On the drink was a note from Scott that Mary decited to read later.

"So any last questions?" Vincent asked nervously as he looked at his watch. Five minutes to twelve. Mary shook her head and Vincent started to hurry to the entrance without a word. Before Mary could react or say goodbye, Vincent threw a gun at her, spilled the drink on her desk and was gone. Surprised she picked the gun up and looked at her watch. One minute to twelve. Why had Vincent been in such a hurry? According to Scott, the 'killer Animatronics' had all been scrapped.

But Mary didn't want to think about the animals grinning at her from the poster inside the office and read the note Scott had left her:"The drink i promised you. Enjoy your new job!" She read. Suddenly Mary heared a bell chimming and looked at her tablet, where the words TWELVE AM were flashing. Her shift had begun.

Mary was sitting on the couch in her office, checking the cameras. When Scott had showed them to her, he had just clicked on the cameras quickly and told her how the tablet worked. With Vincent's short tour she still didn't know how everything worked, so the first few hours Mary had figured out how to use the doors, save energy and see everything trough the cameras by herself. The doors could be opened and closed with a button next to each one, but when the doors where closed, Mary could watch the powermeter om her tablet drain from 100% to 64% so she decited to leave them opened. Even if someone entered her office, she still had the gun Vincent had throwed at her.

The camras where a bit more difficult to handle. On each camera feed was very strong static, which made it very difficult to see trough them. Also, they were all viewing only a small part of the pizzaria, so burglers could easily get into the building.

If this had ever been a bank, Mary could highly imagine why it closed.

Also, why did Scott say this Morning that those Animatronics had 'bugged out' at night and killed the nightguards? Mary looked at the poster in her office. Those animals had been robots, programmed to entertain children! Why would they kill the nightguards then? When Mary still worked as as reporter, she would often hear people talking about the missing Night guards at Freddy's.

One thing was for sure. Scott's father ad wanted to keep those deaths a secret. But why did Scott tell her that on their first meeting?

Suddenly Mary heared humming coming from the east hallway. How could that be? the restaurant had been empty when she started her shift! When Mary peeked out of the door, she was greeted by two glowing eyes just an inch away from her face.

"HELLO!"

Mary let out a surprised scream and fell on her back, as a young woman stepped into the light. She was wearing a pink pyjama and had short blonde hair. When she chuckled at Mary's sight, the guard got up quickly and grabbed her gun.

"Who the hell are you and what are you doing here at four am in the morning?!"

"Oh sorry for scaring you! My name is Chica!" The woman said, simply ignoring the last question and the gun in Mary's hands.

"I'm Mary. What are you doing here at four am in the morning?" Mary replied, still holding the gun.

"Hi Mary! First off, you don't need that thing- whatever it is-" Chica said and pionted at the gun, "I was just curious about our new Night guard since Scott told Freddy that we finally have one."

And then Mary realised who Chica was. "Wait. You're one of the actors? Why are you still here and why are you wearing a pyjama?"

"Wow that's a lot of questions! Just calm down!" Chica replied, pushed Mary on the couch and sat down next to her. "You don't have to worry about anything! we are living here!" When Chica saw Mary's expression, she continued. "It's because we can do our jobs better when we are near our workplace. The entrance to our appartment is backstage."

"Ok well that explains everything." Mary said sarcastic and hoped Chica would leave her alone soon. That was just too much at the moment. Why didn't Scott tell her that the actors live here?

But Chica didn't notice Mary's attitude and suddenly jumped up. "Since you are our guard, you have to know every room in this place! Come on! I'll show you our appartment!" Before Mary could say anything, she was dragged out of her office and led Backstage.

"Chica! WAIT!"

Mary screamed as the blonde pulled her trough the pizzaria. "What is it?" Chica replied and stopped. "You can't just show me your home! First off I don't know you, and second, I have to watch the restaurant!" Mary said while rubbing her hand, where Chica had held her. Chica just looked back with innocent eyes. "But you are my friend! Aaand nobody ever breaks in here." Chica. Look-" Mary began but was interrupted by Chica suddenly hugging her. "Please." "Ok ok I'm coming, but aren't your collegues all... sleeping?" "Nah, at least Freddy has to be awake by now. And I can wake up the others, too!"

The guard blushed by the mention of the handsome man and turned away. Damm it, why did Chica have to be so sweet? She was supposed to guard this place, not to hang out with some random actors she knew for five minutes!

But Chica had already pulled her backstage. The room was a bit bigger than Mary's office and had shelves filled with junk and boxes inside of them. In the middle of the room a large table was standing, which took almost the whole space of the room. The somehow dark atmosphere send Mary shivers. Chica walked directly to a wooden door at the other side of the room. Behind the door was a staircase which led upstairs. While Chica stormed upstairs, Mary followed slower. Why was this entrance Backstage?

At the top of the stairs was another door, which Chica pushed open to reveal a friendly, white hallway with wooden floors and photographs of the actors on the walls. At the end of the hallway was a large window. Mary could see that the sun was going to rise soon. Chica pulled Mary to the end of the hallway into the kitchen. Just as the hallway, most of it's furniture was white and modern looking. At the window, with the back to them, Freddy was standing. He was wearing the trousers and the white long sleeved shirt of his costume. Not noticing the two, he was silently singing to himself:

"We are waiting every night, to finally roam and invite.

Newcomers to play with us, for many years we've been all alone.

We are forced to be still and play the same songs we've known since that day,

An impostor took our lifes away, now we are stuck here to decay!

Please just let us get in!

Do not lock us away!

We are not like what you're thinking!

We are poor little souls, who have lost all control

And we are forced since then to take that role.

We have been all alone,stuck in our little zone,

since-" "HEY FREDDY! I GOT THE NIGHT GUARD! HER NAME IS MARY AND I'M HER BEST FRIEND!"

Mary jumped at Chica's sudden scream and Freddy's head snapped in her direction. She could see that his eyes were completely black with two white glowing pupils, before quickly turning normal again.

"Chica. Why did you bring the Night guard."

"She's my friend!"

"That is rulebreaking."

"But Scott gave her a drink!"

Mary had been just standing next to Chica, not knowing what to do. Freddy seemed very upset and somehow sorrowfull. Why on earth was he behaving so strange? When Freddy turned to her, Mary could feel Chica's grip on her arm tighten. Freddy suddenly pushed her against the kitchen wall and put his hands on her throat, looking deep into Mary's eyes. "Did you drink it?" Mary's eyes widened. "Drink what?" "THE DRINK! DID YOU DRINK IT?" Mary didn't reply. She knew Freddy for barely a minute and she was sure that he was a psychopathic controlfreak. She looked to Chica, but the blonde was staring blankly at the ground. The only thing she could hope for, was that the other two actors would help her. But Freddy was the leader. Damm it, why didn't she bring her gun? Gulping, Mary answered. "No." Freddy's eyes went black again. "Vincent spilled it!" The guard sobbed, as Freddy's grip around her throat tightened.

"Vincent always ruins everything!"

Freddy said to himself, as he strangeled Mary. She tried to push him away, but the male was too strong.

Everything started to get black and fuzzy. Mary's lungs screamed for air. Her movements became weaker. The last thing before she heared was Freddy's deep, charming voice.

"Next time, look for a best friend who is under control, Chica."

"Did you drink it?"

Mary's eyes widened. "Drink what?" "THE DRINK! DID YOU DRINK IT?" Mary didn't reply. She knew Freddy for barely a minute and she was sure that he was a psychopathic control freak. She looked at Chica, but the blonde was staring blankly at the ground. The only thing she could hope for, was that the other two actors would help her. But Freddy was the leader. Damm it. Why didn't she bring her gun? Gulping, Mary decited to lie. "Yes."

Suddenly, Freddy let go of her and Mary sank on her knees, coughing. Chica stormed over to her and helped her up. Glaring at Freddy, she led Mary to one of the chairs and sat her down. "Freddy! Why do you always have to be so... Controlfreaky?!" Freddy ignored Chica and walked over to the coffee maker. "I am very sorry for this... missunderstanding, miss?" "Taylor." Mary replied coldly. Her throat was still burning and she wanted to get the hell out of here.

"Miss Taylor. Since you know our company policy, you know that you are not allowed to talk about what happens inside this restaurant,do you?" "Y-yes? "And you do exactly as I demand?" "Yes?" "That is good to hear." Freddy said and placed a mug of coffee on the table. Mary did't drink. When there was something off with the restaurant's drinks she couldn't be sure that there was nothing in that coffee, too. Chica wordless patted Mary's shoulder and walked out of the kitchen, leaving her alone with Freddy.

"Once again I am terribly sorry, miss Taylor. There is much you are not allowed to know when you are not under control. You will get everything explained eventually." Freddy told her calmly. Mary nodded and was happy to see Freddy walking to the window again, away from her. "But I guess you have to leave now, since your shift is ending soon." Mary checked her watch. Fifteen minutes to six. Had she been here for two full hours?!

The guard silently said goodbye and made her way back to the office. She said goodbye to Chica when the blonde hugged her from behind and had to promise her to hang out the next night.

When she stepped into the dining hall, the restaurant looked rather creepy with the smell of chemicals covering everything. Yep, she was going to keep her act. Something had to be solved.
