This one is kind of short compared to my last few, but I'm still happy with it. And I will say something very important will be happening in this chapter. What is it you may be asking? To bad, I'm not gonna tell ya. Ha! You all will have to read and find out. So please enjoy as you read my tenth chapter!
Freddy gasped when he heard Bonnie begin to groan. "I guess it's time. Mike let me help you to the office."
Mike nodded his head. "Thanks," he said grabbing his crutches. Freddy patted the boy on the shoulder as he helped him through the restaurant. As they walked, Mike looked up at the robotic father figure. "Uh...Freddy,"
"Yes?"
"This Daniel guy, why didn't you like him when you first met him?"
Freddy was silent as they approached the office. He continued to remain quiet as he lightly pushed Mike inside. The guard was thinking that Freddy wasn't going to answer and sighed as he turned to grab the tablet. He froze when a very soft sentence escaped from the bear. It was so quiet Mike almost didn't catch it. "...because it was all his fault."
The guard looked over at the bear just as he left down the hall. He was tempted to go and ask him about it but the phone quickly rang. He snapped his head over to it in surprise. "Another message? Do-does that mean the guy survived that night?"
He quickly grabbed it and for the first time he wanted to listen. But what he heard wasn't what he expected. A deep garbled up voice came out of the phone. The very demonic sounding voice continued on for a few seconds before the sound of one of the animatronics' screaming ended it with a static trail at the very end.
Mike didn't know what to think. He slowly put the phone down when the message was over. He sat there in silence for what felt like forever before he finally responded. "What the heck was that!?"
In a flash he reached for the tablet and gasped when he saw Bonnie and Chica were already gone. He briefly looked down at his foot and remembered how close he came last night to his death. "I have to be very careful tonight..."
Meanwhile Puppet was hiding out in the basement as he watched the Toys walk around almost mindlessly. Each night since they woke up they would revert back to their zombie like attitudes they had when they were still the main attraction. He slightly thought of the night guard who managed to survive the entire week during that time. "What was that guy's name again?"
BB slowly looked at him. "Who's name?"
"That blond boy who used to work as the night guard but survived the whole week."
BB tilted his head as he thought. "Oh, you mean Jeremy? He was nice. He talked to us before each of his shifts."
"That's right, I remember now. He used to complement me when I was still part of the restaurant..."
"You used to do magic tricks for the children, right boss?"
Puppet nodded his head. "Yes. The kids loved me." He jumped slightly when there was a loud bang and he looked down to Bon-Bon who was hitting on the door loudly. "I guess they are still trying to look for a place with noise."
"Boss, they aren't like the Originals or you, so how come they act up at night too?" BB asked as he observed Fred who looked like a moving corpse at the moment.
"It's just their programming BB. They really weren't given a proper night mode..." Puppet smirked when he watched Chicky accidently bump into on of the beams that kept the restaurant in place. "Of course that was mostly my fault for tampering with Scott's computer when he was updating the A.I.s."
BB looked at the Toys again. He noticed Mangle wasn't down there. "Where is it?"
"It? You mean Mangle? I think it is hiding over there on the ceiling like us." Puppet pointed to the opposite corner where he could barely make out on of the fox's arms. BB giggled softly as he turned to look at it. Puppet normally would find the little child robot cute when he acted like a real little kid, but now he was just growing more and more bored. "BB, you stay here. I'm going to pay a visit to Freddy."
"Alright boss!"
Puppet slinked away from his hiding spot as he moved closer to the door. He knew he could have just teleported, but he needed to conserve his power. So with a quick shove, Bon-Bon went flying down the stairs and colliding with Chicky. Fred and Mangle were too far gone to notice their friends, in fact even the bunny and chicken didn't seem to notice the impact as they slowly stood back up.
Smirking at them, Puppet opened the door and snuck out. He slipped through the rooms until he made out Freddy's form still on the stage. "You're doing a good job. Aren't you already gone at this time by the fifth night?"
The bear didn't look at him as he continued to fight off the urge to move. "What do you want Puppet?"
"You know what I want. I want to see that guard stuffed in a suit. So hurry up and move!"
"No!"
"No?" Puppet repeated as he glared down at the leader. "I'm sorry Freddy, but I think you should reconsider that answer."
"Li-listen boy, I am sorry you have suffered so much, but that is no excuse to kill all those innocent people and Mike. I want to help you, but not like this Nick."
"Stop calling me that!" Puppet snapped.
"It's your name!" Freddy snapped back.
"No it's not. It's Puppet now!" the lights began to flicker on and off. "You can not call me that name. That is the name of a boy who was killed all those years ago."
Freddy sighed. "Alright Puppet, but please don't do this! Mike is not the man who killed you. I promise you he is not. Mike wasn't even born when you died. You have to understand that."
The floating animatronic grinned. "Well how can I be sure for a fact until he dies. If he dies and I'm still here then you were right. If not, then I was right and I finally get my revenge."
"Puppet!" Freddy screamed as he lunged at the taller robot. He grabbed him by the throat as a dark growl escaped his throat. "I will not let you hurt Mike. Do you understand that?"
The mask wearing robot smirked more as he pushed away the furious bear. "I'm afraid I don't. I'm sorry but Mike will die. I hope you understand that."
The leader snarled as he watched the Puppet disappear.
Mike fearfully clicked on Pirate's Cove. The fox looked like he was ready to bolt. "I have a feeling if I look away he's going to make a run for it..." He set down the tablet and closed the left door before grabbing it again. He flipped through it and managed to see Chica who was very close to him. Just like the last couple of nights, her head was twitching violently as before. Gulping, Mike switched back to Pirate's Cove. He flinched when he saw Foxy was gone like he predicted would happen. "Good thing I shut the door." He switched to the hall he would always find Foxy running in and just like he thought, there was the pirate sprinting down it as fast as he could. Mike had to chuckle when a thought occurred to him. "Maybe I should grease up the floors so Foxy slips when he runs..."
He shook his head, erasing the thought when said fox began to pound on the door. This continued for longer than usual. "Come on Foxy, just leave..." Mike peaked out to the other door and hit the light. He gasped when he saw Chica standing there at the window. "A-alright!" he shouted as he slammed the door shut. The pounding stopped then and he quickly opened the door. "Have to conserve power. Have to make it to six..."
He clicked on the tablet and yelled when he noticed Freddy was gone from the stage. "Oh come on!" He began searching for the bear. "Where is he!? Where is he!?" At the sight of dark black eyes Mike jumped, dropping the tablet. "Oh...there he is."
From what Mike could tell, Freddy was only a few feet away from the right door. He quickly slammed said door close before looking back at the camera. He noticed the time and groaned in annoyance. It was only five. "If Freddy is already near me, I'm not going to make it to six! I need a miracle!" Mike sighed as he turned on the light to the left door. "Oh of course!" he screamed when he noticed Bonnie standing there. He slammed the door shut before plopping down on his chair. "I'm so dead!"
The front door to the restaurant opened up with a click. A dark figure walked in slowly as he looked around. He peaked to the stage and sighed in relief when he didn't see the animatronics. "Good..."
Puppet was hiding out on the ceiling when he noticed the figure enter. He tilted his head as he hid more. "Hello?" he whispered to himself as he watched the man walk in cautiously. "And who is that?"
Sharp green eyes looked around, jumping at every little noise. "You got to calm down. I'm sure they are too distracted with the night guard." The man sighed as he walked to the stage. He opened up the curtain so he could quickly get backstage before closing them again behind him. Puppet looked around to see if anyone noticed him, but of course he was the only one left in the room.
With a curiosity he almost forgot he had, Puppet slipped behind the curtain without the man noticing. He saw the man shuffling through a bag he had with him. "Let's see...where is it?" he tossed out a few things that looked like rope to the Puppet. They clattered to the ground loudly. He carefully leaned in closer so he could watched the man better.
With a soft sound of triumph, the man pulled out a small devise that looked like Taser. "What's that for?" the animatronic asked quietly.
The man set down the Taser and quickly shoved the rope back inside the bag. Once he was done, he ran his hands over the wall he stood by. Puppet watched in awe as the man pulled out a loose brick revealing a large hidden space. "I'll hide this here. So when I'm ready for it, I can easily grab it." the man muttered before replacing the brick after hiding away the Taser. "I can't afford to bring anything with me that day. Let's just hope that uncle of mine doesn't know about this hiding spot too."
"Uncle?" Puppet questioned as he watched the man grab his bag again and slip away from the stage. Just as he was about to grab the door, the black jacket he wore slipped down to reveal a dark purple uniform. The Puppet felt his eyes widen at the sight. "Th-that uniform..." But before he could do anything, the man slipped out of the building.
Hmm...what could the purple man be planning? Will Puppet warn anyone or just stay focused on his own plans. We'll just have to wait and see. Well you guys will have to wait and see. I already know what's going to happen. Haha!
Also I really want to bring out Puppet's character more. I'm sure you all understand he is the spirit of the first child by now. And really, I just love him. I don't know why but Puppet is just one of my favorite characters, especially after I decided that the first child goes on to possess him. (Yes I know that's not proven yet, but a lot of people think so and so do I) I just hope you all see he is still just a small child who just wants to find peace. And yes, that is basically his goal. Not really a spoiler so don't worry. I kind of mentioned it in this chapter anyways with his conversation with Freddy.
Anyways I hope you all like this chapter. I may not post another one tonight like I usually do. But I will tomorrow. I promise. If I don't, you all have permission to yell at me. Well anyways, until next time. See ya and don't forget to review!
