Chapter 8 Nice to Meet You

It was cold out and I was shivering, I bundled myself hoping to to conserve body heat, but I started to not care due to my body going numb. Suddenly my exhaustion took over my consciousness, and I began to slip. A warm feeling surrounded me in my dream scape, until a shiver went down my spine as I heard a familiar voice.

"Seems like you're doing well." I shrugged.

"Besides freezing my ass off, I guess. But right now I want real answers."

"Ask."

"Who are you?"

"A friend."

"That's what most creepy people say."

"Well I'm not."

"Can I get a name?"

"I don't have one, or maybe, it's been so long that I don't remember." I paused.

"Why are in my dreams?"

"Because I trust you."

"With what?"

"With who you are, even when you thought about giving up, you didn't and kept trying with the girls, you kept on hoping to earn their trust. And you're slowly reaching that goal." I shook my head.

"I'm not worried about that anymore. For now, I just want to make sure that they are safe." I heard a giggle.

"How can you have such a rough path, but still be honest and kind?" I gave a chuckle.

"I would I just do what anyone else would, but that means I would be lying." I shook my head.

"That's why I know you can do it, I know you can defeat the world, all you have to do is stick to your gut." I laughed.

"My gut says I'm hungry." She gave a giggle.

"But I want to talk about you though." There was a pause.

"What about me?"

"Can you show yourself to me?" Another pause. A figure began to form right in front of me. Her figure matched her voice. And her details started to take place, and she was complete. My eyes were wide when I realized that she looked just like Frida, but she had a shade of gold.

"What do you think?" I gave a gentle smile.

"Beautiful." She gave a cute smile.

"I think I just thought of a name."

"What?"

"Star, because your shade of gold shines like the stars in the sky." She smiled.

"Creative, I like it." She walked closer to me and puts her hand on my chest.

"Time to wake up." She whispered.

"What was that?" I asked before getting pushed what felt like a hundred feet away before I shot up from my slumber. I rubbed my head before looking up at the sun. It was saturday and that meant that people were at home, and so the street were less crowded. Shivering I went around the corner to see if Frida's was open, but it was inconveniently closed. Wrapping my arms around my chest trying to keep warm.

I walked down the street until I found the first open thing. It was a diner that looked familiar in a weird relative fashion.

'Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.' I tilted my head.

"Oh god, why I'm okay with one, but two?" I was going to walk in the door before I had a massive headache. For some reason I felt as if I shouldn't enter the building, but I was curious. I took another step forward and ended up with a migraine that that caused me to kneel down.

'Don't go in there.'

'What?' I heard Star's voice in my head.

'Unlike the other location, these would rather kill you, than talk to you." I blinked.

"I still have to check it out, plus it's the only thing open, and I'm cold." I talked out loud feeling irritated. She gave a loud and overreacting sigh.

'Fiiine.' She said.

"Hey, I'm the mortal, I don't need the sas." I remarked. I opened the door and was ear raped by what sounds like carnival music and a bad kids band playing. Walking toward the main stage I noticed three characters singing in an animatronic fashion.

'Great, a Chuckee Cheese knock off.' Studying the three characters from the back of the room.

'Bonnie?' There was a bunny looking animatronic, that had a bulky exoskeleton. Instead of a blue, seemed more of a purple color fur.

'Chica?' Just like Bonnie, Chica was bigger and seemed more terrifying.

'Frida, no that can't be her, or him, or whatever.' Remembering the place was called Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.

'Must be Freddy.' I kept studying them as they stood there singing their songs and talking to the kids.

"You all are terrifying." I remarked before jumping from a loud voice that rang in my ear.

"Argg, ye bet you enjoy your pizza, or ye truly captain foxy will make ye walk the plank." I looked to where the voice was coming from. My eyes were wide, and I was horrified from a terrifying version of foxy, that looked like there were broken parts and fur that was gone. He had a hook which was new, and its jaw looked like it could rip my head off. I gulped before slowly backing up.

"We had fun didn't we kids, but the gang and I have to help foxy find his treasure, so we'll see you next time." The kids cheered before the curtain shut on the three animatronics, and what was said to be pirates cove. The room went dark as the kids and their parents left the room. The lights were dim and I was ready to leave.

"Where are you going?" My body froze as I heard a dark voice from behind the curtain. They opened just after being shut and the lights on the stage went up. I looked at the stage and saw that Freddy was looking at me with dark eyes.

"Nice to meet you." I put my hand on my hip.

"Don't count on it, you're a night guard aren't you?" Bonnie growled. I frowned back.

"Sorry to disappoint you, I am, but not at this location." Chica growled.

"Doesn't matter, you can die now." I tilted my head.

"That's my question. Why aren't you chasing me?" Freddy clicked his tongue.

"Our free foaming mode was deactivated."

"Oh what a shame." I mocked.

"But foxy made his way around it." My eyes went wide. I slowly turned my head to the left to see foxy standing right in front of pirates cove.

"It's nice to meet you, I'm Zach, I hope we can be friends." I squeaked. Foxy tilted his head. He came after me. I head toward the entrance to find that the door was stuck.

'Are you kidding me?!' I thought before shooting down the nearest hallway. I took a right into a room that seems like an office. Looking around to find something to fight it off. I find the nothing but noticed buttons beside the door. I pressed the red button that said 'Door' causing it to close off. Foxy approached the door smacking it multiple times before leaving. Setting my back against the door I noticed that the other side was the same. I moved quickly and pressed the other button. The door closed and I sat on a nearby chair. I jumped from another jump from Foxy trying to get in through the other door.

"Hah, don't think you can get me. This is my house, my house bitch. Even when I'm in an enclosed space with little ventilation, with no guarantee that I will get out of here alive! I'll shut up now." I gulped as foxy disappeared in the shadows.

"It's fine, all I have to do is wait until another party starts." I looked at a clipboard with today's date. It was a schedule for the parties for today. It was the last party of the day.

"I have to stay THE NIGHT?!" I yelled gritting my teeth.

"It's ok, I can just hang here, I'm safe as long as the doors are closed." I looked around to find any clues about the place. I noticed a machine that had a red blinking light. I pressed a button and a voice started to play.

"Hello? Hey, welcome to your first nigth at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, we are happy that you took the night shift and make sure that the animatronics are in top condition for tomorrow.

"Wait, someone would actually be here at night?" I listened to the recording.

"Now I would like to warn you that the characters free roam at night so that they don't lock up, you can use the doors if you don't want them to enter." I shrugged.

"Eh, I was thinking about living, so I'm not sure I want them in here." The call continued.

"There is a tablet so that you can keep track of the animatronics, but I must warn you, after midnight we have to use the power reserves. Unfortunately you have limited power, and you should conserve as much as possible." My heart skipped a beat.

"You're kidding right? Limited power?" I threw my hands up grinded my teeth.

"That's all there is, just check those cameras and try to conserve your power, alright goodnight."

"Go fuck yourself." I was pissed. All I wanted was to find a warm place to stay until tomorrow.

'I guess that's the world, shit happens. Life threatening or not.'

"Hey Star?" I had a little headache before hearing her voice.

"Yes?" She had a mocking tone.

"Not now, I just thought I should say you were right, and remind me to listen to you more often." There was silence.

"I'm stuck in the office, and I guess I have to survive until morning, I might die, but I want you to know that I will survive this. I promised myself I would protect the girls."

"I just want to say, I told you so." I chuckled.

"Yeah, you can fuck yourself too." We both laughed, but right below my laugh, I wanted to cry in fear.
