*Kimmy's POV*
A cold feeling washes over me. I seem to be alone in a dark void. I start to walk around but find that no matter how far I go from my start position I seem to never reach a wall or an end. There is no scenery, there is no one around me, and worst of all I'm lost. I feel myself slowly growing anxious as I continue walking in one direction. The only sound that can be heard are the taps of my shoes.
Suddenly I hear the sound of somebody else's shoes. They seem to be far from me yet close at the same time. Starting to increase my speed the dark void begins to fill with a color. The color begins to grow in intensity but I couldn't put a name to it. It just got bolder and brighter the more I ran.
I could hear the footsteps catching up to me and with them came yelps. Looking around at the now color filled void I couldn't seem to find the source of the yelps. It wasn't until I felt a hand rap itself around my waist that I saw the figure of another person.
I'm pulled into a sudden halt by the arm and find myself dazed from the sudden jerk. Looking up at the figure I see a psychotic grin with lifeless eyes staring back at me. I try to push them away but my arms refuse to move. I stand there helplessly as the figure's hands dig themselves into my eyes.
The yelps are now full on screams of pain. Suddenly a ringing enters my ears.
Shooting up from my bed I take a moment to compose myself before looking to the side. My friend was trying to call me on Skype. "Alex?"
"Hey Dumbass bout time, do you know how long I've been trying to call you?!"
"I'm guessing 10 minutes-" Turning to the side I grab my phone to check the time, 10:07 am.
"No..it was 5- but that's not the point! The point is I got forced into a job at some pizza place and they want me to work the night shift. I said hell no that's my me time but they got all bitchy at me. Anyway I need you to work there so I can work day-"
"Why are you asking me?"
"Because you need a job and I need to go socialize with all the cute college guys at all the fun parties."
"No way, I'm going to sleep-" I go to hang up before she cuts me off.
"Hold on babe before you say no listen to me. The job is from 12am-6am. You sleep all day and stay up all night and the job is super easy. It's practically free money. You could literally sit on your phone the entire night. Come on Kim for me."
"Why would I do anything for you?"
"Because if you do I'll owe you a huge favor-"
"I really don't wanna spend my nights working at some big ass corporation-"
"Three big favors?"
"Fine. Where's the job anyway?"
"Thank you queen! It's some kids pizzeria. Real popular in the eighties and nineties. Freddy's or something-"
"Oh hell no-"
"Too late we made a deal and I already filled out your application and turned it in so."
"Bitch you better un-fill out my application before I get over there and kick your ass!"
"Stop being so grumpy you'll love it."
"Um no I wo-"
"It's super easy."
"Alex are you even listening to me-"
"K love ya bye!" I slam my laptop closed as she hangs up. Turning to leave my room I get a call from my phone.
"Alex that better be your ass telling me how sorry you are!" Grabbing my phone I growl when it's an unknown number. "ALEX THIS BETTER BE YOU USING AN UNKNOWN NUMBER-"
"Ms. Reece?" Not knowing what else to say I respond with a small "yes..may I ask who this is?"
"This is your soon to be boss at Fazbears Pizzeria, Ryan Springs. I'm pleased to inform you that we have gotten you application for the night shift and we would love to schedule an interview with you at your earliest convenience-"
"I'm sorry Ryan this must be some mistake I-"
"Your name is Kimmy Reece correct?"
"U-uh yes-"
"And your number is xxx-xxx-xxxx?"
"obviously-"
"Then there is no mistake. If you're free today I have an opening at 2:00pm."
"I guess-"
"Perfect, I'll see you then. Have a great rest of your day ."
"Wait I-" The resounding click from the other side of the phone rings in my ear. I huff in annoyance before tossing my phone back onto my bed.
I mutter profanities under my breath as I finish getting dressed for the day. Making my way downstairs my Mom smiles at me giving me a small "good morning" as I walk passed her.
"What on your agenda today?"
"I have a job interview at 2 and a class at 4, you?"
"Work from home, get dinner ready, and cleaning out the cabinets in the kitchen."
"I can give you a hand later today-"
"No you worry about your education." Pouring myself a bow of cereal I give my Mom a salut before entering the world of technology for a good 2 hours. By the time I've finished surfing the web it was 1:30.
"I better head out then. I wave towards my Mom who was in the middle of a work call before exiting out the front door.
Getting into my silver ford fusion I could feel the dread slowly rising in my stomach. "I better be making some real money for this." Spoilers, I wasn't.
After a good drive I finally make it to the old place. I cringe at how cheesy it looked.
"How could I think this dump was the greatest place on Earth." Forcing a smile onto my face I get out of my car and make my way through the front doors. The glass was smudged by child hands and you could see they hadn't been cleaned in a long time. Pulling out a napkin from my pocket I grab the handle and open the door.
Once inside I discard the napkin into the trash and shudder at the overwhelming scent of parmesan.
Soon an un-energetic voice echoed through my ears. "Hi Welcome to Fazbears." Looking up I see a blonde haired teen at the cash register. She wasn't anything special but you could tell she was ready to go home. Her head was in a magazine as I made my way over to her.
"Hi, I'm Kimmy Reece, I'm here to see Ryan Sp-"
"In his office." The blonde never looked up at me in fact all she did was point towards the room behind her. Yep this place was still shitty. I gave a nod before entering the room.
Once inside I was hit with a strong wave of smoke. I had to turn my head back out of the room to breathe before entering.
"Hi, Ryan?" I cough at the aroma.
"Are you from the bank?"
"No?"
"Then yes, how can I help you?"
"My name is Kimmy R-"
"Kimmy about time you got here. I've been waiting for hours."
"The interview was at 2?"
"Yeah and it's 2:03. It's rude to be late you know."
"I got here at 2 I don't know what else you want me to say-"
"Don't argue with me kid I have a working clock right here." He gestured to his Freddy Fazbears clock which read 10:43 so it was obviously broken. I just smiled and let him talk.
"So here's everything you're gonna need on your shift. You half to pay for your own insurance and all I really need is your ID and Nina out there can give you your uniform. Your first shift is tonight-"
"So soon?"
"Problem Reece?"
"It's just sudden is all-"
"Well as one of my employees you need to be flexible so consider this my wake up call for you."
Before I could even blink the interview was over..if you could even call it that.
"Oh and one more thing. Most of our past night guards thought their job was gonna be a piece of cake so they just sat in the office on their phones. I'm gonna tell you this right here, right now, that that is not true. It's actual work that you'll find can be challenging so get your act together before tonight or you'll be in for a rough one. Have a good one kid." I stare blankly at the now closed door.
"That went well." I jumped at the sudden noise, turning I see the blonde from before..I think Nina is what Ryan called her. In her hands is what appeared to be a purple shirt with a badge on it as well as a hat that said security on it.
"This the uniform?"
"Yeah. Good luck tonight or whatever."
"Uh thanks." And with that I took my leave not even bothering to spare a glance at the creepy animatronics I used to watch on tv as a kid.
Hope you guys enjoyed! Stay healthy!
