Chapter 4 Night Two

I made it to the door with time to spare, even so, it seemed like Mr. Fazbear had already shut the place down. He was waiting for me at the door. I grabbed my Extra Large coffee and walked over to him.

"Hi Mr. Fazbear," I said warmly.

"Good evening, early close tonight?" I asked curiously.

He gave me a curious look. Almost as if he was debating telling me. In the end, I think that he decided it couldn't help because he answered me.

"Yes, there was only three parties today, and I wanted to try to work on Foxy some more. Are you ready to start your shift?"

Working on Foxy, that suddenly reminded me, "Uh, yes sir. I noticed last night that Foxy was singing, any reason for that?"

Mr. Fazbear blinked, smiled, and replied smoothly, "Yes, part of what I'm trying to fix is his voice box. He must have glitched last night. Shouldn't happen again, but if it does, it's relatively normal."

I nodded and ducked into the building. Mr. Fazbear closed and locked the door behind me. I hurried into the office and sat down in the chair. I checked my phone and noted that there were still a few moments before Midnight proper. The generator hadn't even kicked in yet, making my phone the only light in the building. I could hear the sound of the generator kicking in.

Midnight. It was time to get through the second night. I set the Six AM alarm and started looking through the cameras. Foxy was behind his curtain, everyone else was on stage. A ringing noise startled me out of looking at the cameras. A sound like a tape recorder started clicking, and a familiar voice started talking.

"Uhh, Hello? Hello?"

"Hello again, strange voice," I replied to no one imparticular.

"Uh, well, if you're hearing this, then you made it to day two, uh, congrats!"

"Why did I come here again?" I asked aloud.

"I-I won't talk quite as long this time since Freddy and his friends tend to become more active as the week progresses."

"What?"

"Uhh, it might be a good idea to peek at those cameras while I talk just to make sure everyone's in their proper place... You know..."

I looked at Foxy first, he hadn't moved, then went to the stage. I gave a startled jump when I saw that the three on stage were staring into the camera. Talk about creepy...

"Uh.. Interestingly enough, Freddy himself doesn't come off stage very often. I heard he becomes a lot more active in the dark though, so, hey, I guess that's one more reason not to run out of power, right?"

I'm beginning to think that this guy is a total dolt, or that he needed some serious therapy after this job. Looking at the stage revealed that Bonnie was missing. I quickly searched his usual haunts and found him starring in the camera in the room with all the spare parts. Stupid rabbit.

"I-I also want to emphasize the importance of using your door lights. There are blind spots in your camera views, and those blind spots happen to be right outside your doors."

What the actual hell had I gotten myself into?

"So if-if you can't find something, or someone, on your cameras, be sure to check the door lights. Uh, you might only have a few seconds to react... Uh, not that you would be in any danger, of course."

Oh, come on, you practically admitted it.

"I'm not implying that..."

You sir, are an ass.

Banging in the kitchen made me note that Chika was on the move for pizza.

"Also, check on the curtain in Pirate Cove from time to time."

I checked, Foxy was looking out of it.

"The character in there seems unique in that he becomes more active if the cameras remain off for long periods of time. I guess he doesn't like being watched. I don't know. Anyway, I'm sure you have everything under control! Uh, talk to you soon."

A click.

The words of wisdom if they could be called that actually made the place seem creepier, if that was even possible. I kept a close eye on Chika and Bonnie, choosing to let Foxy chill out in his corner. The caller was right, Freddy seemed more than happy to just stay on stage and stare at the camera.

Suddenly, Bonnie disappeared from his area. I searched every area. Heading the words of the previous night-watch, I checked the right door. Nothing. Huh, okay then. I checked the left door and screamed while slamming my hand on the button to shut it. Found Bonnie. The generator started flashing a red light. Looks like he was right, the doors use a lot of power.

I would have to be more conservative. I flicked the light, the shadow of Bonnie was there, telling me that he was still standing out there.

I checked on the other animatronics, Freddy was still in place, but he wasn't starring into the camera any more. Chika was in the party room, staring into the camera with her jaw unhinged. I glanced at Pirate Cove, Foxy was further out of his area. I sighed and looked at the door light, Bonnie had moved on. I looked at my phone, it was now three in the morning, Bonnie had been outside the door for an hour.

A toreador march started playing, my first guess was to look at Foxy again, he was now completely out of his curtain and was starring into the camera. Foxy might be the creepiest next to Chika. I moved into the kitchen. Well, I found the sound, who was making it?

I wandered around the restaurant's cameras, leaving Foxy's alone. Freddy has left the stage. Well, that answers where the sound was coming from. I sat back in my chair. I'll have to conserve power and listen more than checking for everyone. I heard something from my right and checked the light and then promptly slammed the door down. Chika had been starring in through the window.

This place is a new sort of hell, I decided.

With a start I heard something running towards the left door. I slammed it down and checked all the cameras, Foxy was gone. His 'Sorry! Out of Order!' sign had changed to read 'IT'S ME'. I looked into the left hall's camera to see him running down the hall for the door I had closed. A banging sound came followed by three knocks.

Foxy was knocking on the door.

I ignored it and looked at the clock, a few minutes left until six am. I opened the right and left doors carefully, ready to slam them back down at the first sign of animatronic. Neither Foxy nor Chika were there.

In fact, looking around the restaurant, found that they had all returned to their places.

Once more I sighed with relief as Victory Fanfare played.

I had survived my second night.

I kept a close eye on both the animatronics and the front door, switching back and forth between the two. Both waiting for Mr. Fazbear, and waiting for the animatronics to move again. Nothing moved. I stayed like that until Mr. Fazbear opened the door. He wandered over to the bathrooms and then disappeared off all the cameras. Where was he going every morning?

I stayed in my place until he showed up again, making a beeline for the office.

"Miss Voguel," he said almost surprised to see me.

"Good morning," I replied, "The night was..."

"Good?" he asked.

I didn't want to complain, it was a new job and probation was a real thing that I didn't want to get in trouble over. So I sighed and swallowed the words that I knew would do me no good.

"Active is a more appropriate word, Mr. Fazbear," I answered, "seems they get busier on day two."

"Well, hopefully you'll do just as well tonight?"

"Yes," I replied.

I knew I wasn't going to be able to leave this place until I figured out what was going on here.

"See you tonight Mr. Fazbear"

Sorry for the long wait. Life tends to muck about, and I'm trying to gear up for FNAF 4. It's coming out early August and I can't wait. Until next time!
