Jeremy slowly turned around and looked at the vent next to the desk. Something dark was moving behind it. And in that moment Jeremy didn't even care what that thing was, he just ran. He sprinted down the corridor as fast as he could, tripping over his own feet a few times before he reached the Parts and Service room. Jeremy regretted he didn't take a weapon with him, but there was no time for going back. The door squeaked and showed the dark room behind it. But it didn't look like Jeremy expected it to. There were no kids, no blood and what was most terrifying: no animatronics. Everything looked like nothing ever happened in this room. Jeremy checked behind the shelves and unter the desk, but the children were gone. Maybe this had been a joke? Maybe somebody had somehow cut this record into his cameras and nothing of this ever happened? No, he had seen Arthur. Nobody could have faked that, they had to be somewhere in here. Jeremy turned around and set off to the Party rooms. The purple guy only had about 20 minutes to clean up his mess, that wasn't enough time. But what if someone helped him?
„Oh thank god you're here!"
a voice shouted out of nowhere and Jeremy froze.
„You have to help me, I can't find my daughter!"
A woman with short, brown hair came out of the party room and stopped in front of him.

„She just left with this boy called Arthur, they wanted to go and get some balloons from the room next to us but they aren't there anymore!"
Jeremy looked at the stage. The toy animatronics had left. All of them.
„Where did the robots go?"
He asked the woman and her face turned to pure disbelief.
„I just told you that some children are missing and you are worried about these bloody animals?" she screamed.
„You better help us finding them!"
„Please calm down Miss, I'm just trying to help you. Has there been a man in here? He's wearing a purple shirt."
The woman shook her head.

„Thank you anyway. And don't worry, I'm sure your daughter is fine."

He turned around and was a little bit shocked about how easy he could tell this lie into somebodies face. He was about to leave whe he heard heavy footsteps behind him.
*thud* *thud*
„What in the world is that?"
a female voice said and he turned around.
Another woman screamed as she saw the animatronic standing in front of the red haired business woman.
It was the scrapped version of Bonnie. It had dirty fur, was much bigger than a human and it's ears even touched the ceiling. Also, it didn't have a face anymore.
This was the thing nightmares were made of.

Arthur's mother didn't move at all. It even looked like she stopped breathing.
„Don't...move..."
Jeremy said and a few people nodded. Bonnie turned his head to the side and made a silent, screeching sound. Everybody exept Arthur's mom looked at Jeremy.
He gulped and made a step forward.
„B-...Bonnie?" he asked, but Bonnie didn't react.
„Bonnie, look at me."
Bonnie kept looking at the business woman.
„Okay listen, you know you shouldn't be here, okay? Do you understand me?"
"Oh god, he was talking to a robot.
"Another muffled sound came from the robot. The womans eyes widened.
„What did it say?!" Jeremy asked and the woman bit her lip.
„I-It's...me."
She slowly turned to Jeremy.
„What is that supposed to mean?"
„I don't know," he answered and made a few more steps forward.
Then he heard another woman squeak.
*thud* *thud* *thud*
The other animatronics were coming.
Chica showed up next to the woman who was missing her daughter. There were still a few children standing next to their parents who started crying now.
*thud* *thud* *CLANG*
The floor shook a little. Freddy had fallen to the ground like he forgot how to walk.
„What do you want from me?!" the woman shouted at Chica. She muttered something.
Then Jeremy heard Freddy getting up and saying something to the person next to him.
„It's me, It's me, It's me..."
He grabbed the woman's hand and dragged her after him.
„Everybody RUN!" he shouted and pointed at the exit door. The children were the first to react. They took their parent's hands and pulled them away from the robots. Jeremy stayed for a few seconds and looked around. Everybody had escaped through the exit door, exept Arthur's mother.
Three of the animatronics already started to stumble towards the door, but she stayed and looked Bonnie into the eyes.
„...Arthur?" she whispered and tears ran down her face. Jeremy ran towards her, lifted her up and carried her away from Bonnie.
„But..." she said as he ducked under Chica's arm and slammed open the door. It was cold outside, but everybody was still there.
„Please take her," he told the person that was closest to him and put the woman down on the floor.
Then he turned around and walked back to the door.

Actually he wanted to close it and never go back in there, but he had to take a last look inside. Just to be sure that all of this actually happened.
He peered inside and immediately froze. The four animatronics were standing in a semicircle, something was in their middle. Something thin and black. Is was as big as a human and a little transparent, like a ghost. It wore a mask. The mask he had seen on his records. It looked at him with it's pitch black eyes.

The animatronics were looking down at the floor, like little children who had been scold by their mother. Just Bonnie looked at him, something liquid dropped out of his eyes.
Jeremy slammed the door and turned to the people. They were talking to the business woman who was crying.
„We have to go in there again,"
a little girl said.
„Our friends are still inside."
„It's okay," Jeremy said and looked at everybody.
„The police is going to manage this."
