Several more chapters my dear readers, and the story will come to a conclusion. Not sure if I will write a sequel, but I do have other projects I'd like to keep writing and to complete. This has been one heck of a journey though.
Over the next week Saphira's craving seemed to slowly increase. The animatronics were all alarmed after Springtrap told them about her craving and all were worried about her wellbeing. Saphira appreciated the concern though and tried her best to stave off the craving as much as possible. She did manage to finish her Halloween costume as well and was excited to share it on Halloween. Saphira and Springtrap both agreed that if she were to drink any blood the animatronics would collect the blood for her and eat the rest. The idea was sick in Saphira's mind but she could find her stomach twisting at the thought of it. Saphira did buy plenty of containers for storing it. At this stage her health has been very good lately, Saphira hasn't felt sick nor out of touch. As Halloween approached Saphira became more worried about the gift Mike planned on giving her, and it probably wasn't a good one either.
"When do the staff arrive to starting cooking?" Springtrap asked curiously as Saphira got dressed in the bedroom.
"Uh, around twelve or one," She replied softly.
"At least we get to see the public one last time," He said with a smile.
Saphira sighed and turned to him. "I know you would love to have this attraction opened again, but it's for the better it remains closed and we build a new cast of robotic animatronics."
He nodded. "Yes, yes I know. I guess we still can't believe it has come to that moment where we have to say good bye to this attraction even though we aren't leaving it anytime soon."
"And the Halloween animatronics will only get to experience it today until midnight," She said.
"I'm surprised you decided to have this place open until then," Springtrap said.
Saphira shrugged. "I thought since it is Halloween tonight will be the exception. Kids are allowed to stay up late if they want to."
Springtrap chuckled. "Indeed they will try to. I hope you can last."
"I will be forcing myself to stay up," Saphira said. "I do hope to take a nap before we open at three, but I doubt it will help completely."
"It's better than nothing," He sighed. "Especially since you haven't had a real restful sleep for a few days."
"Can you blame me?" Saphira asked, walking over to the bed to sit. "Mike's threat hasn't left my mind."
"And I'm sure the craving for blood is driving you insane too,' Springtrap said with a sigh.
"Yeah it has unfortunately," She sighed. "It wouldn't surprise me if some kids or teens decide to come back after midnight."
"We will make sure to collect it for you," He said. "And, we will probably use those cups."
"What cups?"
"The ones you stick the soft drink in," He replied.
"Oh, well I guess that is a good way," Saphira chuckled softly. "At least I won't be able to see it."
Springtrap smiled and nodded. "That's the idea so you won't, uh, feel off."
She hummed as she rubbed her stomach. "And it's probably why I haven't felt any kicks or movements for a couple days."
He frowned in surprise. "Really? I doubt that's good."
"I'm not super worried, but if a baby stops moving there is usually something wrong," She said. "But I think he's like that because I'm not giving him what he wants."
"I hope so," He said softly.
Saphira looked at him in surprise. "Really?"
"Because I hate to think what that might do to you if something went wrong now," Springtrap explained.
"Oh," She mumbled, looking away.
"Want to show me what costume you've made yet?" Springtrap asked, changing the subject.
She chuckled and shook her head. "I told you and the others it's a surprise. I am not going to show you now."
"Alright," He chuckled. "I guess I'll go help the others clean up."
"Are you sick of talking to me?" She asked as Springtrap turned to leave.
He sighed and looked at her with a smirk. "I could be. You talk way too much."
Saphira giggled. "I only talk because you say very little."
"I am going to help so you can rest up," Springtrap said honestly.
"Well thanks," She said. "I will try to get some sleep before the staff turn up. And keep an eye out for Mike and don't forget to get into position."
"We're not kids Saphira," He said with a chuckle. "We know what to do."
Saphira chuckled as he left. She really didn't feel tired right now so she decided just to watch a few movies on her laptop.
Before lunch Saphira decided to put on her costume so no one would suspect her of being pregnant. She would do her hair and make up a bit later, but the outfit itself was a witch type outfit. She wore a large, black shirt with a long, black vest that was deliberately ripped and made to look old and a skirt with leggings. On her black shirt she had sewed a face on it that covered her belly. It looked like some hungry gargoyle, it was red with bright green eyes and had words in the mouth. Saphira looked at herself and chuckled. The animatronics may not be too pleased with what her shirt says, but she didn't care. She walked out of the room to find them.
"Hello Foxy," She said when she saw him first finishing his duty.
He looked up and smiled at her. "Ahoy lassie!" He sang, than noticed her shirt. "You really had to write that?"
Saphira chuckled softly. "I need something as an alibi for this belly. It's as big as a small basketball now."
"Yer…you didn't need those words," Foxy said in an uncertain tone. "I better get to Pirate's Cove."
She nodded. "You do that. And don't tell anyone yet please."
"As ya wish," He said, saluting with his hooked hand and left.
Saphira smiled as she headed for the main room. She found most of the others in here making sure everything was in place.
"Morning Saphira," Chica said loudly. "What do you think?"
"This place looks great guys," Saphira replied, looking around. "Impressive."
"Is that your costume?" Bonnie asked, his expression was almost like a scowl.
"Yeah," She said casually.
Springtrap turned around and saw the costume. He frowned. "Really? Witches love eating kids? Is that the best you came up with?"
She giggled. "It's just an alibi."
"To us it's not very funny," Toy Bonnie said softly.
"I am not going to try and drink any kid blood tonight," Saphira said, walking over to them. "Unless some break in later, then I won't have a choice."
"It is not something to joke about," Springtrap said, still frowning.
"I didn't realise I was joking," She said, folding her arms. "It is just a costume Springie. I will only need to wear it once this year."
"I guess so," He sighed. "I still don't like it."
"Oh well, agree to disagree," She said. "I'm going to have some lunch. You guys might want to start getting to your places."
Springtrap nodded as Saphira walked into the kitchen to make food for herself. She had stocked up on ingredients for Halloween during the week and the staff that were coming are the staff who will be working at the new pizzeria. They had applied some weeks ago and have been going through training. Saphira was happy to give them this night to show their skills.
After lunch she went to unlock the back door and greeted the first staff who had arrived early. They complement her costume, thinking it was very smart as they entered and placed their things in the office. Saphira herself couldn't believe how long it has been since she sat in the office. She is glad it is over for the time being though. The staff were wearing their own Halloween outfits and were eager to get started. Saphira gave them a general safety induction and tour of the attraction before letting them start preparation in the kitchen. She made sure to let them know which fridge was actually off limits as it had her food in it before returning to her room to put make up on and do her hair. She made her hair look rather messy, as though the character she was had been rather busy recently. Saphira had debated about her make up as well until she settled with looking like she had blood on her chest and face. It wasn't a huge amount, but it was enough. She put thick eye liner and mascara on to make her eyes look a bit more menacing. It took her almost the whole time before the doors officially opened. She left the room to greet the rest of the staff who have turned up, all dressed for Halloween and introduced them to the attraction the same way she did to the first. Saphira went to the front door to find a massive crowd outside and smirked. People waved to her as she prepared the registers as the front and in the dining room. Finally walking outside, people cheered loudly.
Saphira rose her hand and the crowd went quiet. "Hello my lovelies," She said loudly. "I hope you have been waiting for this moment patiently, I know I have. It is so great to see many fans of this place, and so great to see the different costumes. Don't forget to go trick or treating around the neighbourhood later." The crowd cheered again before going quiet. Saphira had a remote in her as she spoke again. "Alight ladies and gentlemen, Fazbear Fright is officially open! Happy Halloween!"
She pressed a button on the remote and the lights on the outside on the signs lit up like a Christmas tree and the auto doors behind Saphira opened. The crowd cheered and clapped loudly before Saphira stepped inside and they walk into behind her. There were six registers open to let people in and the line was already long. She giggled as she went to find Springtrap to wish him luck. He gave her a disapproving look when she stepped into his view.
"Show time guys," She said excitedly. "Be good now. The Halloweens will be introduced within an hour or two."
Springtrap nodded silently. Saphira smiled and left them to sit in the office. She had decided to sit in there until she introduced the Halloween animatronics so she could join in the party than. She stopped in front of the window that looked into the office and smiled as the memories of when she first started flooded back. Sure it wasn't the greatest start, but it was something she would never forget in a heartbeat. Saphira walked into the office and sat in the chair in front of the monitors, looking at the cameras and happily watching the excited customers flooding into Fazbear Frights. Freddy and the original cast began to sing Halloween songs when people entered, which was good. The toy animatronics soon began playing as well when people piled into their zone. People already began ordering food in the dining which kept the kitchen staff busy. She also kept an eye out for anything or anyone suspicious. While she was enjoying herself it was a bit hard to not forget the threat Mike had made, and he didn't sound like he was joking either. Saphira hoped he wouldn't pull any kind of stunt in front of the staff and customers either that would force the animatronics to respond and protect people. That would expose all of them and Saphira didn't want that. She couldn't help but get a little angry over it. She decided to keep a level head for now so she would be good to announce Jack O Bonnie and Jack O Chica to the customers.
