Chapter 10 Traumatic Experience

With no hesitation, Mr. Bear dragged me to his office. Passing by the lounge, I saw the girls glance over with shocked looks. I guess they noticed my shaking expression.

He sat me down with a firm force before standing straight in front of me. He had a serious look that I have never seen before.

"What the hell were you doing there?" I leaned back.

"I was trying to find a place warm, and that was the only place that was open." He raised an eyebrow, but not of suspicion. Like he was at a whole new level of surprise.

"Do you know what happens when you enter, and you're not a child?" I squinted.

"Unfortunately, I do now. I had to survive for six hours straight. I had to face all of them at once and knock one in the head in order to make it out just in time." I told him the story and how I was trapped, to how I escaped from that hell.

"I see." He took a deep breath.

"I do apologize, but promise me that you never go there again." I nodded nervously.

"Never again, but your reaction, what's the story?" He shuttered.

"I know I can trust you, so you have every right to know, besides, if it can keep you away from that place, I will gladly tell you." He coughed as he seemed to start to tell a story.

"This bar wasn't the only location the girls were working at. Years ago me and my brother opened a place called Freddy Fazbear's Pizza." My eyes opened wide.

'How could they have been in a place like that, with robots like them?'

"We started with one animatronic, me and my brother wanted to grow, so we just engineered more animatronics. They were just normal animatronics, they would play performances and entertain kids." There was a pause.

"But as technology began to evolve, our business ideas started going out of hand. We then programed them to free roam, to sing, and serve pizza. Then we gave them free will, of course with morals, or a code of honor if you will." I nodded.

"And is that when things went bad?" He nodded.

"My brother became greedy, I wanted to entertain children and expand, but my brother wanted money. He then created the women animatronics for the umm… adults. He created them with a little more...sex appeal." I gulped.

'I mean, yeah, they are sexy, but I have morals of my own, and they're animatronics.' I shook my head before going back into the story.

"As time past the place split into two. It would be a bar on one side, and a pizza place the other. The relationship between the original animatronics, and the girls were getting worse." I gulped.

"The original animatronics started to grow evil, and they started to abuse the girls." I clenched my teeth.

"I'm guessing that's when you pulled them out of there." He nodded.

"After arguments with my brother I left the business and took the girls with me." I nodded back.

"Wait, you said there was one animatronic, was she a woman?" He stood up in shock.

"How do you know that information?!"

'Could he be referring to star?'

"Umm, you might not believe me, but she's been haunting my dreams." He pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Ok then how about this? What color was it." I smiled.

"I named her star, and she has a gold color for a body." He slammed his hands on the desk, his body was shaking.

"She was my idea, she was kind and gentle toward the kids, and she would tell stories with a gentle voice. She was like a good mother to every child free will or not. But my brother got rid of her the worst way possible, and even in the beginning, my relationship with my brother started to deteriorate.

"But that doesn't explain why the original animatronics started killing." He shrugged.

"I have theories, my brother turned them evil, or a glitch occurred."

"One hell of a glitch." He shook his head.

"But anyway, since we are open, you are welcome to stay here, and I could imagine that you need sleep." I slightly nodded. I picked my weak body from the chair and limped to the employee lounge. I was too weak to look at any of the girls on my way. I opened the door to find a small cot that was laid out. I said thank you before closing the door. Limping to the cot, I collapsed right beside the cot, unable to aim my body to it.

My dreamscape was cold, and I was shaking. I clenched my fist. I heard a familiar rustic sound. I turned to see four pairs of red glowing eyes. I immediately turned and ran from those eyes, screaming in horror as heavy steps grew closer. The steps grew silent and stopped to catch my breath, I looked up to get a face full of Freddy that that picked me up, and he looked more horrific version of Freddy. (Nightmare Freddy)

I was shaken awake from that nightmare by what looks to be Frida. I sat up and curled before shaking. My breath was violent and images of the animatronics flashed through my mind.

"Are you alright?" Frida asked me with concern.

"Honestly, I don't know anymore." I said between breaths.

"I'll leave you alone for now until you calm down."

"Wait, I grabbed her wrist before she left."

"What is it?"

"I was there." She gave me a look, hoping that it wasn't the place she was thinking of.

"Freddy Fazbear's." She began to shake.

"No, why would you go there?" I shook my head.

"It's not like I could have stayed at this place when it was closed." She was on the verge of tears.

"Did they try anything?"

"I had to knock one in the head because he tried to kill me."

"Which one?"

"Freddy." She covered her mouth and ran out of the room.

"Frida?" I left the room to go follow her.

"Frida, what's wrong, is everything alright?" She shook her head.

"I can't, not now." I nodded.

"Ok, but please talk to me when you're ready." I placed a hand her shoulder trying to comfort her, it didn't take a genius notice that she was in pain. She left the room and to Mr. Bear's office.

I went to relax at the lounge. I was grabbed from behind and pulled into a hug. The back of my head was pulled back and ended between two soft pillows.

"I finally got you." I heard a playful voice.

"Sorry Bailey, I've just had a lot on my mind." She sat next to me.

"So you actually went to that place?" I nodded.

"Yeah, but I'm never going there again, not ever." She leaned against me and patted my head.

"Was it scary?" I nodded.

"I could have died, they wanted to kill me with no remorse, I had to protect myself and get out of there, it was one of the most terrifying nights I have ever experienced." She smiled at me.

"But hey, if anyone who can deal with animatronics I know you can." I grew a gentle smile.

"I appreciate that you have faith in me." She giggled.

"Not just me, everyone, in a way, has faith in you too." Everyone walked in the room after checking on Frida.

"You helped us out with that guy who was about to shoot Foxy." Bonnie stated.

"Plus you're pretty cool with us, unlike the others." Maggie added.

"Well I'd hate to be a loser." I joked back.

"We just want to say thank you, you've done your job, and you went beyond to keep us safe." Chica helped.

"And you helped me out and I opened up again." Mary told me. I then stood up.

"I gave you my word, and I don't plan to let any of you down, I'm not going anywhere." They all smiled before they all hugged me at the same time.

"We're so glad the we met you Zach." They all spoke.

"I don't know who I'd be if I didn't meet you girls." I told them. Soon after, Mr. Bear and Frida joined us in the lounge.

"Ok Zach, your shift is starting pretty soon, make sure you do your best." I gave Mr. Bear a thumbs up.

"Don't worry Mr. Bear I won't let you down." His expression turned serious.

"Zach, please be careful, ok?" I nodded.

'I hope he doesn't mean that.' I thought.

I was in my office and the bell rung indicating that my shift officially started.

'12 a.m., survive until six.' I felt shivers up my spine. I checked my tablet to check on the girls. On after another I checked each room. Everything seemed to be ok, but my heart stopped as Nightmare Bonnie cover the screen. With a scream I tossed the tablet on the desk. I shook my head before picking it up. I checked the camera again to see that the face was gone. I took a deep breath and scrolled through the cameras. I looked at the main lounge and saw to glowing eyes staring from the other side of the glass wall.

I threw the tablet before running out of the office and into the main lounge. My heart was beating, and I ran past everyone who was helping with the bar.

"Zach, what's wrong?" I went to the lounge and saw nothing there. I turned freaking out.

"They are here, I don't know how, but they are here." Frida started to look scared.

"How do you know?" Mary questioned.

"The cameras, I saw bonnie, not our bonnie. And then I saw two glowing eyes right out there." My hands were at the side of my head , trying to convince myself that I'm just seeing things, and my eyes are trying to play games.

"We didn't see anything Zach, are you sure you're alright?" I didn't say anything, I was staring at the window, waiting for something to pop out. Time stopped for me as I unknowingly stood right in front of the window facing outside. Nothing was happening and everything went quiet. I was sweating as my heart raced. I turned around.

"I guess I am just seeing things." I stopped as the girls looked at me horrified.

"No, just no." I slowly turned around and saw two glowing red eyes above me, and through the glass. I jumped back in horror screaming.

"Freddy DON'T." Frida yelled out Before the he broke the glass in and stepped forward.

"You're dead meat, security guard."
