A Five Nights at Freddy's

Chapter Seven: Mangled

7:50 AM

"Let me go!" Melody screamed as she struggled against the grip of the animatronic. "Let me go! MIKEY!"

"M-Melody!" she heard her brother said weakly before there was a loud crackle of radio static. "AUGH!"

"MIKEY! HELP ME!"

"Shut up, brat!" The animatronic holding her hissed. "And stop squirming!" Melody refused that order and tried kicking the animatronic, which wasn't working. She noticed that there was a larger hole in the animatronic's arm, near her head. She scrunched her nose at the smell before she bit down one the gray, wiry object inside, hoping that it would let her go. It did, luckily, though she was tossed into the chairs. "You brat!" The animatronic yelled as it clutched its arm. It looked down at where she bit and chuckled. "...I forgot about that..." He said absently before looking at the little girl, who groaned and gagged, trying to sit up. "I was going to make this painless for you...but now you've made me mad."

"You leave her alone!" The animatronic looked up, bemused that, as he thought, one of the animatronics was going to attack him, only to be stunned as he saw Mike, weakly push past the animatronics, his uniform around the shoulders were dark red from pushing off something. "You. Leave. Her. ALONE!" The animatronic blinked twice, like someone punched him in between the eyes.

"M-M-Michael..." The animatronic started to say slowly, stepping back. Mike staggered forward, not exactly sure how he was going to stop the animatronic, but no one was going to hurt his sister. His head started to spin, but he struggled to ignored it as the yellow animatronic stepped back, as if Mike was terrifying. "N-No...You can't be..." The animatronic clenched its head before running away. Mike stopped briefly, confused, as his sister got up and looked at him.

"M-Mikey!" She cried out as she raced to him. Mike forced a smile as he fell to his knees. "Mikey!"

"Mel...I-I'm so sorry..." He managed out before he collapsed fully. Melody was barely able to keep his head from banging onto the floor.

"M-M-Mikey..." She barely managed out before she looked at the animatronics staring at them, and any fear was replaced with anger that these animatronics didn't help her or his brother. "What are you staring at?!" She snapped. "One of you go grab the first aid kit! Now!" The animatronics flinched, clearly stunned and shocked before Chica nodded and ran towards the kitchen, hoping that's where a 'first aid' kit was."

8:00 AM

"Well, uh, thanks for fixing the pipes." Jeremy said as Virginia collected the tools and got ready to leave.

"It's my job," She smiled. "But thanks." She turned to leave but Jeremy stopped her.

"Hey, uh...do you think that later...we can go out for lunch or something?" Virginia glare at him.

"I am working."

"I know...but I was thinking that maybe we could catch up, or something..." Obviously Jeremy was thinking on the fly, and not thinking about the consequences. "I mean it's been a while..." Virginia chuckled and shook her head; maybe she'd be able to tell him more about the changes that happened.

"You know, I think we can chat over my break..." She looked back at him. "How does 11:30 work for you? We can have something downstairs..." Jeremy grinned like an idiot.

"Yeah, that works! 11:30! See you there!" He said as she left, chuckling at him. She made it down the hallway before she saw the smirk on Vin's face. She frowned and placed her hands on her hips.

"Seriously, Vin? You were listening in?!"

"What, me?" He asked, feigning innocence, much to unimpressed woman. "Only the last little bit." She sighed and rolled her eyes. "Oh shush, I'm just making sure my buddy is alright...Nobody's gonna make a fool outta you..." Virginia smiled.

"Thanks, Vinny..."

"Now come on, we've got to some work before your hot date," Vincent beamed as his coworker went neon red.

"VINCENT!" The man laughed as he lightly jogged away from the woman.

10:30 AM

Mike groaned as he opened his eyes; his body ached and didn't want to move and he felt like a train was pile driving his skull.

"M-Mikey?" He looked over to his left and saw his sister, trying to hold back tears as she rubbed her eyes.

"M-Mel.." He said, before groaning, his voice cracking.

"It's ok Mikey...I'm fine..." She promised and Mike smiled sadly. "That thing, whatever it was, didn't hurt me that bad..."

"Mel...I'm so sorry...I shouldn't have-"

"Oh shush!" She said. "Momma would've killed you if you left me home alone. And we're still alive, so we've just got to wait till the storm's over 'n stuff...and well..." She looked at the ceiling. "And until you can get up again..."

"What?" Mike tried to sit up, but his upper half burned with so much pain that he was barely able to let out a squeak before he had to stay still as the pain slowly subsided.

"Yeah...Miss Chica was able to find a first aid kit and I did my best to bandage all of the cuts and to fix your nose...the manager guy is going to need another box of first aid stuff..." Mike smiled at his sister.

"Mel...t-that's amazing...I'm really proud of you,"

"R-Really?"

"Really, I mean, how many people could control the situation and help me out and be six while at it?" Melody blushed as she smiled.

"Thanks Mikey..." There was a knock at the door. Melody frowned as she looked at the door.

"Who is it?"

"It's Freddy..." The bear's voice came from the other side. "We caught Mang-the creature that hurt your brother Mike...and she wishes to apologize." There was radio static. "Yes. Yes you do, or you're getting tossed back into the room." More static and Melody looked at her brother, just as confused.

"Do you have a tight grip on it?" She asked.

"Yes."

"Well...gimme a second." Melody carefully walked over to the door and after checking through the peephole to double check, she opened it and went back to her brother as Freddy entered, carrying a tangled endoskeleton with two heads, one like the normal endoskeleton, and with a white fox with pink tipped ears and make up. "Oh wow...that's..."

"Toy Foxy." Mike said, surprising Freddy and even the fox.

"Huh?"

"That's Toy Foxy..." Mike said, looking at his sister. "Well, it was called the Mangle sometimes too..."

"How do you know her?" Freddy asked slowly.

"Well, when my mom worked at the New and Improved Freddy's, she had me stay in Kid's Cove." Mike would've shrugged if doing that didn't cause that much pain. "It was before you were born, Mel..." he added and Melody nodded as the fox raised an eyebrow and studied Mike before looking up at Freddy and making radio noises. Freddy frowned slightly.

"I'm not sure..."

"Sure about what?" Melody asked.

"Well...she's," He gestured to the fox. "Saying that couldn't be right."

"Why?"

"Because the boy that was there was named Michael Schmidt."

"That's my name."
