Sorry it took forever to upload this title. I was working on other things, the wiki site was hacked, then when I tried to upload the story Fanfiction was having server problems, so yeah XP Anyway, I speed wrote this so, sorry if it's not as suspenseful or anything like my last chapters. Errors will be looked as closely as possible and this chapter's title comes from the song 'The Hunt' by MiaRissyTV on Youtube.

Disclaimer: I only own the security guard and the manager.

|The Hunt|

What the hell?! It was only twelve-ten and this thing was already on the move? I'm guessing that 'free-roaming' switch or whatever it was called still wasn't fixed...or maybe it was and this thing really could move on it's own. "No no...that would be silly. It's just an animatronic and nothing else...I just need to keep a closer eye on it because it's in free-roam mode...that's all" I tried to convince myself.

"There's been a slight change of company policy concerning the use of the suits-" Oh right...nearly forgot that I answered the phone just moments ago..I was too busy going into an almost panicked state at seeing that thing move at such an early time. Alright, have to watch this bunny thing and listen to this new company policy about these suits.

"Um, don't" Well...that was simple.

"After learning of an unfortunate incident at the sister location, involving multiple and simultaneous spring lock failures, the company has deemed the suits, temporarily, unfit for employees." ...Huh...

"Safety is our top priority at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, which is why the classic suits are being retired to an appropriate location, while being looked at by our technician. Until replacements arrive, you'll be expected to wear the temporary costumes provided to you. Keep in mind that they were found on very short notice, so questions about appropriateness slash relevance should be deflected" Seriously?

"I repeat, the classic suits are not to be touched, activated or worn. That being said, we are free of liability, do as you wish. As always, remember to smile; you are the face of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza" And with that I hung up the phone.

So, these...hybrid suits (that I suddenly decided to call them) were dangerous to be worn and they're just figuring that out after having an 'incident' at the other restaurant? They should've known about that beforehand and tried to do something to prevent it. Now, I'm not so sure that safety was this place...top priority. I was so deep into my thoughts that I hadn't even recognized that the animatronic bunny was gone from camera nine already.

I gave a quiet curse as I searched through the building, going in numerical order. When I got to camera seven, I was almost certain I would've missed the damn thing. There, just at the entrance of the room, I spotted a hand and a foot...this thing really liked to keep to the shadows.

I didn't want him getting any closer to me...so I changed back to camera eight and played some audio there. As the child-like 'Hi~' echoed through, I changed back to camera seven and saw he was gone. That must have worked! However, when I tried to go back to camera eight, I got a video error.

"Shit..." I changed to the maintenance tab and tried to fix it...but something caught my attention...something in front of the office window. I turned my head upwards so fast I was surprised I didn't get whiplash from that.

There was someone...someTHING walking outside the office...it seemed to be limping and...the silhouette was very familiar? It almost looked like...Freddy Fazbear himself. I wanted to get a closer look, but it suddenly ducked down under the window. Before I could get up from my chair to see if it was still there, the fucking thing was suddenly in my face, lunging at me with that same fucking hissing noise like the others!

I didn't even manage out a scream! That's how scared I was. The blaring alarm and the flashing lights hadn't registered for a long time and I just sat with my back firmly pinned to the chair, the tablet gripped tightly in my hands and probably a look of pure terror on my face before I finally managed to breathe in oxygen just to yell out "What the fuck is wrong with this place!?" and then a scream after that.

I was panting by the time I fully turned my attention back to the maintenance panel. With shaking hands I decided to fix the ventilation systems first and once the alarms and red lights stopped going off I focused on the video error that had already occurred. When everything was back in order, I took a moment to take in a calming breath. I know I was supposed to be watching that animatronic bunny, but after what happened, I needed a breather.

Once my heart was beating normally again, I changed the tablet back to the cameras. It was still on camera eight, but the bunny was nowhere to be seen...of course. Flipping through in numerical order once more, I found the animatronic on camera five. Christ, this thing moves quick! Hoping this would actually work, I changed to camera six and played some audio there. Hearing the childish laughter did bring some kind of ease to the situation. I flipped back to camera five and saw the bunny was gone. I prayed that this worked and moved to camera six...and there he was.

It actually worked this time. The animatronic was barely in sight, at the end of the hallway. I couldn't see its head, but I could make out the rest of his body just fine...and then something didn't feel right. I mean, sure I was glad that this audio thing actually worked, but something just felt...wrong. Ever since working at this place, I almost developed a sixth sense for this kind of thing. When something didn't feel right...I was usually correct. So, when I glanced up, I was half surprised and half not to see...another broken down animatronic in the office with me.

This thing...was in the office...with me...just standing there and staring back at me. All I could manage out was a stupid sounding "Uh..." before that thing lunged at me too! Oh, did I mention, it had the same loud hissing sound as the other hallucinations! This place was really getting to me. You'd think I'd be used to things just launching themselves at me, but I wasn't. It was always something new and this was no exception. I gave a yell from a mixture of fear, annoyance and frustration as I went back to the maintenance tab to fix the ventilation so that everything could quiet down and go back to that somewhat calm...but there was one problem...the uneasy feeling I was getting.

When the flashing red lights had turned off along with the blaring alarm, I took another glance up and dropped the tablet onto my lap. The animatronic bunny...he was right outside the office, standing in front of the window and staring back at me...smiling. Well...on a better note, I can finally get a good look at this thing.

It was so broken down and in disrepair that I was still surprised it was even functioning at all. Our tech guy must have been some sort of miracle worker. I couldn't tell if the suit was yellow or not because of the green lighting of the building, but he definitely seemed to be some kind of...dingy golden color. Wires and cross-beams were just showing everywhere on this thing. It's face showed a permanent smile, the material around it seemed to have...been torn off or something. One of it's ears was partially missing and its glowing eyes was just gazing back at me...not blinking.

I hadn't even heard when the back exit to the place suddenly opened...I hadn't heard the manager walk in until he spoke to me "Hey, kid, how did it-...what are you staring at?" I didn't give an answer...or at least a verbal one. I merely raised a shaking hand to point at the thing staring back at me from the office window.

"Oh fuck me, it's still moving around..." I heard the manager curse. "I thought I told that guy to fix it...he said he did, but...there must be some bugs or something still" he added, but I was still staring at the animatronic who was gazing back at me. I didn't know what it was about this thing. It might have been the appearance, the creepy atmosphere, but something really didn't sit well with me when it came to this thing. It almost felt like...it really wanted to hurt me...

I was pulled out of my thoughts and jumped slightly when I felt a hand on my shoulder. When I glanced up, I noticed it was the manager...I, actually, forgot he was even here. "Hey...you okay, kid? You're shaking pretty badly" he asked with a worried expression.

"This night has been...not the best for me" I managed to answer, trying to keep my tone even...and failing. You could practically hear the fear in my voice and I mentally cursed at that. The manager looked me over and gave a quiet sigh. "I think this place is taking its toll on you...maybe you should take a break" he finally replied, but I gave a shake of my head.

"I'm fine, really. Just...need a good nights sleep is all...I can come back tonight. I mean, it's only the last night, right?" I answered. The manager seem to be thinking of something before he finally gave a nod "You're right. Tonight's your last night and after the weekend, we'll be able to open up..." he replied out loud before glancing over to the office window, seeing the animatronic was still there "And, again, I'll have the tech guy give another look over the animatronic. He said that there was nothing wrong with the roaming switch...and yet this fella should be at the front entrance while you're here...Might have it programmed to move using a remote control or something...Just to get it to sit still"

"Yeah...control" I managed out, looking back at the thing with its unblinking, unmoving gaze.

I could only pray that the tech guy would get this thing fixed so it could stop terrorizing me...or do something worse than that

Short chapter, I know. But 2 more chapters after this.
Springtrap is getting closer...I wonder if the security guard will survive the night...
