It's ME
11:55 PM. It was a cool night, but I knew that I'd need that fan in the office. With 'major criminals' on the loose, you'd think a pizzeria would make use of the locks on the doors, but not Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. What criminal would want to rob a place like this, with creepy animatronics and a low amount of cash in the bank? As far as I'm concerned, that manager is paranoid. I started walking through to the office, passing the show stage. Bonnie, Chica and Freddy were staring at me. I moved around and watched them. Ever so slightly, they turned to follow my movements. These things were alive. They knew I was a human. I thought of why they weren't attacking me yet, then I realised they were probably running on a timer. They start roaming at midnight and they head back to the stage in a 'friendly' mode at 6 AM. This made me walk briskly to the office.
12 AM. The phone rang again, it was the Phone Guy. He said most people don't make it this far, moving on to 'other things' by now. I chuckled when he said he wasn't implying that they died. I checked the cameras. Foxy was already peeking out, but everyone else was on still stage. He carried on, saying that he won't take up too much time, since things are getting 'real' tonight. Is Freddy becoming active now? I was just listening at this point, not focusing on anything else. He said that if I get caught, I should play dead. If I do that, they might think of me as an empty costume. I got annoyed when he said they might try to stuff that endoskeleton inside of me, that's time I could've used to check what the animatronics were up to. The recording ended and I checked the cameras.
Only Freddy was on stage. Not only that, he was looking at the camera as well, it was worrying me. Foxy was still only peeking out, but Bonnie and Chica were both at the corners by the office. It wasn't even 1 AM and both of those things were worryingly close to the office. At that moment, the cameras jammed. I switched to the Pirate Cove feed before I put my tablet down and as expected, those two were at the blind spots. Bonnie left almost immediately, but Chica was still there. I wish I could close off that window, so that stupid chicken couldn't see me. Cameras were still jammed, damn. The rest of the hour passed quite slowly.
1 AM. Chica didn't move, but the cameras were back online. Bonnie was in the dining area and Freddy was on stage. Foxy was still only peeking out. I was quite lucky that night. I thought he'd be ready to sprint by then. Only problem was, I had 80% power and I had 5 hours to go. Using 20% power in the first hour is bad since the animatronics were only going to become more aggressive. Chica finally left, retreating to the kitchen. I was starting to hate chickens. Most of them run away when you're near them, but the most dangerous one lingers near for long periods of time. A pot crashed to the ground, making me have a mini heart attack and nearly drop my tablet. I calmed down fairly quickly, which means that I've gotten better.
A few minutes from 2 AM, I checked the cameras again. Freddy was still on stage, just not staring at the camera anymore. If turning to face a camera is all it takes to prevent servos from locking up, why don't they just have a box around the stage so they can move around there? This was making me even more suspicious of the manager's reasons. Foxy was ready to sprint and Bonnie was pretending to be a statue in the supply closet while Chica was in the East Hall. I put my tablet down to try and relax, but a few seconds later I started hearing a robotic voice and pictured Freddy with human eyes. I heard a whisper:
It's ME
I started panicking and checking my lights, finding nothing. I checked the cameras and saw Foxy sprinting down the hall. The door button seemed so far away and I missed 3 times before I saw him inside the office trying to kill me with his hook. My heart almost popped out of my chest until he faded into thin air. It was so bad that I nearly started crying. I tried to relax for a few minutes before I checked my lights and the cameras again. Bonnie and Chica were in the dining area, Foxy was ready to sprint. Freddy didn't move since the last time I checked on him. This job was getting bad, I was even hallucinating. I checked the clock, 3 AM with 50% power left.
The one good thing about this was that I had plenty of power. I could even keep one door closed for the rest of the night without running out of power. I never thought I'd start having hallucinations. They only make this stupid job worse. It's so bad that it's messing with my mind. The animatronics were far, but Foxy wasn't giving me a chance to relax. I checked the cameras, Pirate Cove's curtains were wide open, but the sign that originally said 'Sorry, Out of order' now said 'IT'S ME'. I blinked and it went back to normal. Then I realised Foxy was on his way, so I closed the door and waited. Seconds later, I heard him banging on the door. When he was done, I opened it again before checking the other cameras. Bonnie was in the supply closet and Freddy was staring at the camera again. I wondered when Freddy would become properly active.
I didn't see Chica anywhere, but I heard scrambling of pots. What does that chicken even do in there? Surely a robot doesn't get hungry. It was 3:30 AM. Bonnie and Chica decided to team up on me and camp at my doors. They refused to leave. I just left my doors closed and didn't check the cameras. Even with this much power, I still had to conserve it. I just sat there, checking the lights, waiting for them to leave. I was slightly surprised that Bonnie stayed for that long. It made it seem even more like a team attack. After checking the left light without seeing Bonnie's silhouette, I checked the cameras for Foxy and saw him running down the hall again. 43% power straight down to 37% when he finished banging on the door, but I could finally open it again. Unsurprisingly, Chica refused to leave.
4 AM, Foxy was peeking out again. He seems like he's not so shy anymore. Bonnie was backstage, but he didn't have his eyes. I saw his face up close to the camera lens, with eyeless eye sockets. These things know about all the cameras, not just the stage and the corner cameras. I didn't even bother checking on Freddy anymore, the others were a much bigger threat and needed more attention. I checked my lights and Chica was still there. I couldn't get that image of Bonnie out of my head. It was so unnerving. Why would he take his eyeballs out and stare into the camera like that? It just raised more questions.
Chica decided to leave when I had 28% power left. It was 20 minutes short of 5 AM. I thought I had it in the bag at this point. Bonnie was still backstage, but further from the camera and with his eyes in place. Foxy was still only peeking out. Chica was by the restrooms and Freddy was still on stage, staring into the distance. I was pretty calm at this point, 5 AM arrived smoothly and I had 24% power left. Bonnie and Chica were in the dining area and I checked on Foxy just enough to keep him from getting ready to sprint. This made me wonder, how does Foxy know how much I check on him? I looked around the room and saw a cupcake with eyes. How could I never have seen this before? It made me wonder how this thing even came to be, why would a person make a cupcake with eyes? Is this how the animatronics know my position? I still had so much to learn about this place.
These thoughts made me zone out. Reality caught me eventually, at 5:20 AM. I checked my lights and Chica returned. I reached to close the door, but it didn't work. The light only turned off and I couldn't use that either. I tested the left door and it worked, so that could only mean that the door was jammed. I was scared to check the cameras since Chica could sneak up on me if I did that. I thought that if I watched the doorway and stayed still, she'd stay where she was. I closed my left door in case Foxy decided to sprint again and waited. I had 20% power and I was trying my best to keep from trembling.
My power was slowly draining away as I heard Foxy banging on the door. This was probably causing strain on the electromagnets because it drained my power extremely fast. It went from 16% down to 5% by the time he stopped. Having only 5% power and having to keep a door closed wasn't good for me. I was going to run out of power. This made me tremble. I tried closing the right door, it was still jammed. 4% power, down to 3%, then 2%. I had 15 minutes left with barely any power. I wasn't going to make it. This was my last night on the job and on this planet. I wonder how many souls are trapped in that Freddy suit. I wouldn't want to share it with ten people, since that would make my afterlife annoying. I heard a low humming sound and the lights turned off. I ran out of power.
I just sat there, waiting for something to get me. I waited for around 5 minutes until I saw eyes and a brown mouth with teeth by the left door. It was Freddy, and he was playing his jingle. It brought back so many memories that I had as a child. Too bad I was seconds away from death. His jingle played on, but it cut off halfway. I closed my eyes and waited. I heard the 6 AM bell and sprang out of my chair, only to find Freddy right there. He said "I hope you're enjoying that pizza! I want a slice right now," before turning and walking out of the office. So they do know what time it is. I was trembling and I stumbled twice trying walking out of this place. The sense of relief was huge. I still needed to calm down, so I just sat in my car for a while before I drove to my apartment.
