A/N: Hello new readers, welcome to my ever first story on Five Nights at Freddy's!
I know you're expecting a lot, and you want to dig right in, but I want to clarify a few things, first of all, this is a revisioned Chapter 1. The very first version of chapter 1 has a lot of grammar issues, a lot of mistakes inside it, it was so bad that I felt I needed to go back and redo the entire chapter. This should be more enjoyable to read, I hope it's worth what it is. I didn't change too much about the contents.
Some quick things to note, this is an AU, so things are different. I will get this out of the way, Mike Schmidt and Micheal Afton are going to be completely different characters in this AU, I know that may seem to throw things off, but bear with me as we go through this journey. This story was made before the entire story was being revealed to us, so things will be different, repeating myself. In another example, the kids don't possess the animatronics in this AU, this is to create more dramatic characters and to give sense to bigger characters, believe me, it'll be worth it.
Let me know what you think as you read, and don't forget to review! Reviews are important!
[Disclaimer: FNaF does not belong to me, AT ALL! It rightfully belongs to Scott Cawthon, I am just borrowing his characters.]
I'll see you at the end of the chapter for more notes!
The night glooms from any kind of light, the streets were emptier than most would want it to be. The only kind of light that can be seen at all, was the massive white ball of light reflecting onto the Earth's atmosphere. It reflects its massive light towards the buildings, the water, everything that can see the moon, and to most, this was beautiful when giving a good look, and always was worth seeing.
However, this would only be more apparent when reflecting on a specific pizzeria...
One that never was been called 'light.'
The pizzeria glooms with a kind of special light. Comparably to any other building. The pizzeria outside was as dead as ever compared to any other building, business towers at least had a few cars still to show some still cared to come around, yet, the pizzeria had none. Reflecting so much of the position the building was in right now.
Inside the pizzeria, the lights were of course off, no one would want to use that much power inside the building during early morning hours. So it would become apparent a problem anyone could find would be the obvious lack of sight.
"Bunny! Get over here now!"
The voice, however, was enough to scare anyone to come to see what was going on.
Lies a bunny's story.
A lone bunny tickling a guitar, the guitar itself wasn't the most concerning thing to the bunny, he only ever has it to play the strings. He moves closer to the edge of the stage when hearing that disgusting voice. In so much motion, he wouldn't want to do what he says. Always was it he to discover what he does when no one is around. He almost thought about it, however, he felt an instinct that he must turn himself in. If anything like the last few attempts, it was gonna be worst if he didn't.
In defeat, he simply nods and moves forward slowly towards the demanding individual, he walked into the back room. The backroom was still as messy as ever, with the heads of the main attractions of this pizzeria still disorganized. Everything about the room wasn't the best definition of staying clean about it.
This wasn't relevant.
There lies ahead a singular bear. The same bear to have ruined him as he knows it. He remains stiff when seeing his cold optics, but he couldn't help but move forward, instinct tells him.
"Care to explain what's the meaning of this?" The same one that has yelled exclaimed while pointing at a screwdriver that was on his left, the screwdriver looked it was dented a little from the looks of it, and of course, this didn't fly so much with him.
The bunny of course didn't have much of an answer, in actuality, he didn't have a choice, he couldn't help but shake his head, shrugging.
This made Freddy angry.
"If your not gonna explain, I will make you myself," Freddy yelled at the bunny felt his robotic ears were grabbed, he could feel them being ripped, though not really, it felt like it. The misbehaving bunny looked at Freddy with fear of knowing what Freddy is talking about. He has done it before, he suffered, to suffer is like to torture, it was anything he would never want to do. With very little choice, the purple animatronic pointed towards his back, mainly his back panel; the rabbit looks down at the ground.
The bear seems to get it rather quickly, and in reaction, just huffs, "Now, why would you do that?" he scowled, and due to this, hits the animatronic right in the back of the head over a bad action, the bunny felt oil starting to escape from his optics.
He simply didn't answer, mostly out of technical issues, but he himself knew the answer, the rabbit knows the bear was simply doing this out of the pure pleasure of hitting him, he knew he loved that. The awful bear loves to torment people, regardless if their humans or even animatronics.
"I want an answer, now," The abuser would not hesitate to do what he must, and the next thing to occur was a bit of a wall to be bend because of how hard Bonnie's head was hit to the wall. If the purple animatronic could curl up, he would right now. There wasn't a singular choice, he points directly towards himself, he could feel his own paw go against him when doing this, but he didn't stop it.
As a result, the abusive bear puts a sinister kind of smile, the face that could scare many children if they saw him like this. His body movement was very jerky, his eyes glow brightly, maybe a bit too brightly, "Now that's quite sad, why do such a thing? Your part of the family."
All of those words could be used in the lie detector and would be all lies.
The bunny really wished he could rant to Freddy that this family is not a family at all, the very opposite in fact. Nothing about this screams family anymore, they weren't family anymore. Long ago was the definition of a family ruined by him, oil springs down. Unfortunately, he simply couldn't argue. Freddy goes on a bit more, "I hope this doesn't happen again," He drops the bunny to the ground, the bunny felt like his head potentially had a hole in it now.
However, the bunny wouldn't hold anger, they very knew that something like this was very possible.
Freddy grabs the Screwdriver and makes his leave without a fraction of care whatsoever. The miserable animatronic felt devastated, he sits where he was. He felt nothing, he could lay here for hours on end; the feeling would remain. So badly did he want to leave, there was no sense being around here anymore. He has tried many things to get out of the hell he called home,
The time to attempt to burn himself alive, it was all to be simply put back together.
He tried to hit himself with very hard things to break himself, almost no damage was done.
This month specifically, he attempted to hurt children so he can get out, the only thing that was done was his roaming switch shut during day hours, and now? He was paying for it.
Bonnie wanted to yell, he wanted to scream, he wanted to completely break himself to the point of non-existence thinking. So much to the point, he felt some sparkles inside his broken voice box, he couldn't speak since his voice box was broken, in anger, he begins to bang one of the walls,
At the very same time he did such a thing, he only barely noticed the very small footsteps. He didn't notice someone entered. "A-Are...you okay, Bonnie?" A very familiar voice in Bonnie's ears. Bonnie felt a bit more relieved to have her here.
Stands a chicken, the Chicken looked in a way better in the state than the bunny, her body was more rounded, and the fake feathers across her looked refined. The name was 'Chica,' the very same chicken to have 'help' through certain times. Chica has been a decent friend to Bonnie. They weren't as friends as they were back in the good old days. Freddy has made a rule to not go near Chica at certain times, ever since one attempt was made with Chica, still, when she gets the time, she always talks to Bonnie if Freddy isn't around.
The chicken has explained many times before. Chica came over to Bonnie, attempting to hug him, "He hurt you again, did he?" She guessed exactly what happened, she looked down on him with optics of hope.
Bonnie looked down, he always imagined it, wanting to be in the skies he has seen outside of the pizzeria. Finally resting, away from Freddy's wrath, he could just imagine the quiet it could bring, to no longer suffer over the past years over the same bear to have completely emotionally damaged him.
He felt a shake, "Bonnie...I know its miserable, I know he's awful...I'm sorry for this to happen..." Chica shouted attempted reasoning with him, trying to get into his head, "...but I don't want you to leave just yet, your still an amazing bunny, Bonnie. Don't forget that...please," Chica rubs Bonnie's head, which somehow did not get a dent that he presumed.
He has given up on chances long ago.
He nods, however, for the sake of it anyway.
Chica smiles as she hugged him for one more time and looked behind her. "I gotta go, wouldn't want Freddy seeing us actually being family..." Chica semi joked as Bonnie got it and smiled a little. One more time she hugs Bonnie to the chest, hoping for the message to come across. Chica ran out of the backroom, leaving Bonnie to be in thought.
The moment she did, he sulked in his mind as he hugged his guitar. It truly gets worse as years go. He remembered exactly when he first woke up, everything was truly amazing at that moment, he could still remember when Freddy actually smiled right at him. He remembered Chica being with him at all times and making him the happiest bunny in the entire pizzeria. It was only getting better within' those first few years. If the rabbit could, he'd go back to those days and live them forever, it sounded like a place he would love to go. However, things got bad quickly after the next location, history goes on. It was times like now that would make him regret everything. Freddy getting any chances to make Bonnie's life hell, Chica being too busy to care for him, and Foxy being ignorant of the sudden attention he's getting, almost forgetting Bonnie existed. Children almost never noticed Bonnie, even if he's on stage and clear. When it's forced on him, children either attempt to look away or forced applause him. Some liked him, but were very far from between time, the lack of attention leads to Bonnie being almost emotionless on stage and putting on such a fake act in front of the kids, which doesn't make a difference since Bonnie barely gets noticed.
After a while, he knew he needed to move a bit. He still had time before it was showtime, the worst time of the day, in fact, it covered half of the day. Bonnie walked out of the back room and into the diner, it was as bad as it was in there, the place was falling apart and management doesn't do a thing, he knows why, he simply doesn't know what he can do, but a part of him just wishes the place to get shut down already to get his life over with, but he knew it wasn't that simple, a wall named, "Freddy" covers that scenario.
He looked over to the cove, it was slightly open, but that means Foxy has probably moved. He moved over his body or forced it towards the closet, it's normally a safe place to sulk and wine, but before he could actually make it...
"Bunny! It's time to get to the stage already, Captain's order!" A very rocky voice yelled towards him from the hallway. He's very sure it's Foxys.
The bunny shook his endoskeleton, he was sure that he had more time, though when he noticed it, it was still 5:20, it all meant Freddy was taking all of his time away. Bonnie sighs before he begins to make past Pirate Cove, and towards the stage, with already Freddy and Chica getting into position.
He goes deep into thought while straightening the guitar of his. The time goes by as once in a while, he stares at the walls for minutes. When it hit 6:00 A.M., he felt his legs stiffen, meaning his free roam is off. He could already predict what's gonna happen next.
The manager coming in?
He heard a bunch of metal noises and comes in the Manager. Check.
Later on, some employees come in to get started early?
6:15 and employees of washing and serving are here, check.
Freddy throwing an insult towards his face?
"Wonder how many people are gonna forget your existence? Wait, who are you?" Freddy simply sniggered to himself. Check.
And by the time it hits 6:46, all the employees were there, "Alright, everyone, today is gonna be an important day! We're gonna have a birthday girl here today!" The manager announced.
The sounds come in grunts and cheers.
To some, birthday parties are the best thing in this place, while to others, it's a disaster guaranteed. The manager walked off to who knows where as the employees were getting ready for the day. Bonnie took a glance to see what Freddy and Chica thought, Freddy was simply straightening his bowtie, but, his face would say it all. He needed no words.
"Dare to make the same mistake, and you'll face the last punishment."
These words have always stuck to him ever since the bear was becoming the very image of an abuser. He felt his aura, Bonnie makes space as he stares away from the bear. Chica herself sees this, and would only just stare at the wall, she couldn't do a thing about it, she knew very well Freddy and she wasn't in best terms after what happened a few nights ago. She had to stay low for a while.
The employee comes right to the front of the restaurant, which meant there was no longer any time to chat or doing anything. It was time to perform for the audience!
Let hell begin.
~Change~
"Let hell...begin...ow…"
A brunette mumbled as he hit the clock that was ringing like a truck horn, rubbing his brown messy hair. He quickly got out of bed, stretching out his arms, and took a small look around his apartment before sighing. The entire place was a complete mess. His current job he has right now isn't doing much of his rent and he's forced to work overtime to get a little more money, still, he needed the money, despite how shitty is living is.
He yawns a little, shaking his head, "Dumbass job, can't believe I'm stuck with this shit," Mike sneered to himself, despite doing the money, Mike really felt underwhelmed as he felt he could have done a job that's actually worth a damn, not doing something anyone can do, it felt wrong to him. It felt like his literal potential was being wasted as if drained down a hole. He goes to get his usual clothes for the day, he didn't have to work today, which to him was a relief, considering how much he would hate to work today. He walks out of his room.
He walks towards all the way towards the small kitchen to get some cereal.
He would begin to do so while trying to press on the controller to the TV, he always rather try to get it done twice as quick than the usual taking time. However, he gets a little frustrated while pouring milk and trying to even get it the controller to work, resulting him and banging it a little, and letting it slip in his hands, and the cereal spilling downwards.
Mike only sighed, "This morning is already some shit," He simply rolled his eyes while picking up some of the cereal to pour it into the cheap bowl. He swore to get the rest of it later on. He sits down on the stuffy chair, and watched the show the TV offered, it was a movie, as well as a scene with overly dramatic effects with a hot girl and a hot boy kissing.
"Always the same shit, some girl gets saved, and now practically is all over the man. I hate these stupid ass shows," Mike grumbled, he felt no reason to watch, but he ironically continues to watch, commenting on every single hint that's stupid in his eyes. To most, it would be considered a little cheesy, but after a couple of seasons in, most would enjoy the romance going around this boy and girl, but of course, Mike sees this completely different. After getting tricked by a girl, wasting all of his precious money, he simply couldn't stand seeing romance in his eyes, it's all dramatic, all shady, and most of all, fake in his opinion. He kept on watching it, hating every moment of it.
Before more complaining, the phone rang loudly, Mike sighing in relief, "Thank fuck, couldn't stand this cheesy, stupid movie," Mike mumbled loudly while placing down the cereal on the floor and going up to the phone. He picked it up and checked the number, he did truly hate those numbers of just bots calling, he just didn't like bots all too much altogether.
He coughs, readying up the invoice, "Hello, Mike Schmidt speaking," He professionally said, admiring how professional he sounded.
There was silence for a few seconds, but then, a voice rises up, "H-Hey, Mike!" A voice that sounded a bit rough, but young.
Immediate realization, "Oh, Hi Jeremy," Mike said, back to his casual voice very quickly.
The one and only friend of his, he was the only other person he could ever trust with his life. Jeremy has been a good friend to Mike when Mike was with his "girlfriend", Jeremy was behind the scenes to give him tips and such. He was there when Mike got heartbroken, he was there for job interviews, and much more. Jeremy act weird at times and Mike always wondered what his health is like, but he tolerates it.
"S-So, Mike...I-I have a f-favor to a-ask you.."
"If it's about doing the chores in your house, I already said I'm not doing it," Mike sharply declined the upcoming question, as sometimes Jeremy asks in the middle of the day to do such a thing.
"N-No Mike! I a-already got th-that covered! It's j-just..umm.." Jeremy hesitated a bit in the phone, his sighs become frequent.
"...Just spill it already, I want to go relax and watch this dumbass show."
"...W-Well, I km-kinda need you t-to..go to a b-birthday p-party…"
"What? Why the fuck.."
"B-Because I can't go!" The brunette could practically feel the spit coming from the other side, "M-My boss won't l-let me! I d-don't want to disappoint m-my little sister! S-She'll be happy enough t-t-to see you, you know t-that!"
Mike simply groaned, knowing how much Jeremy's little sister likes him. He doesn't know why.
"P-Please Mike, p-please…"
"Well…"
"F-For her.."
"But…"
"P-Pleeeeeaaasssseee.."
"Jeremy! I ain't doing it, you know how much I don't like going to Birthday Parties after you know what!"
"P-Please, Mike...t-think of Susan, the li-little girl is already sad e-enough for me to not c-come, but think of h-her face, w-when she has to go, w-without anyone c-cheering her up, i-it'll probably m-make her s-sad and-"
"UGH, FINE! I'll go to the birthday party, where does it take place!"
"O-h, you'll h-have to go to my m-mother's place to know, I-I don't know."
Mike simply rolled his eyes, really wishing he isn't alive right now, "Alright, but you own me."
"T-Thank you, Mike."
The phone call ends as Mike was standing there, wondering why he accepted to do this. He shook his head, he can't do anything as he doesn't want to break Jeremy's promise.
"So much for a day off," Mike sneered once more as he walks over to his bedroom to change clothes.
After he does that, he went to grab his wallet, no doubt he's gonna pay for something, grabbing his keys, and started to walk out the door. The outside of his room wasn't any better. The walls were filled with dirt, sticky food, and such, the floor was slippery and anyone can easily fall, with pieces of paper all over. Mike really wished his living states were better, but, it was somewhere to live, right?
As he started to walk down, he saw a figure, and he smiles, "Hi, Mrs. Guzman.." Mike simply said while waving his hand around.
'Mrs. Guzman' looked over to Mike and smile a little, though that disappeared quickly, "It's only Ms. Guzman now, Mike," She quickly pointed out Mike's mistake as Mike blushed.
"Right right, I'm sorry, how goes it?"
"Oh, dating? Can't really find anyone that really is my type."
"Well, I could hook you up with some people if you want..." Mike rose eyebrows a little smoother.
She laughs a little, "Tempting, I'll see. Hm, what are you doing out of your apartment? Isn't it your day off?"
"Hey, I get out, and well...yay, but...I'm going to a birthday party."
"Oh, how sweet! Is it a friend of yours?"
"Close, Jeremy's sister."
"Oh, I see. Well, hope you have a good day, Mike."
"Same to you, Mrs-Ms. Guzman," Mike quickly said as he speed-walked out of the apartment.
After he did so, he almost facepalmed himself to have a red mark of his hand on his forehead. Mike really liked Mrs. Guzman, two problems though. One, Mrs. Guzman is Mike's landlord, so it would be really awkward in his eyes. Two, he was behind rent, so he thought it wouldn't really work if he's gonna be kicked out soon.
'Goddamnit Mike, it isn't gonna work. Besides, I won't let the same mistake happen twice!' Mike thinks to himself while straightening himself up.
Luckily for him, the house isn't too far off as he quickly saw the neighborhood of Jeremy's mother. He walked a few more blocks. Jeremy's old house, or better known as Mrs. Fitzgerald's home. It's a bit old looking, but still can hold up, while the paint was coming off, the bricks still were able to hold. He knocks on the door, since there's no doorbell, and expected an answer. He heard footsteps.
"Coming, I'm coming!" A very motherly voice said as the noise was made.
He still remembered those days, the days when he and she used to spend so much time together, the voice kinda reminded him of...
'No...I gotta stop thinking about that..it happened a long time ago...' Mike lied to himself, he still felt it deep inside his heart, he was still heartbroken about it. He tries to hide the pain as the door swung open to a woman that was overly dressed, she was wearing tight jeans with a belt with a shirt that looks stuff, but she doesn't seem to mind, with a lot of makeup to cover the oldness of her age. She smiles as she saw Mike.
"Ahh, Mike! It's very nice to see you, my little baby wouldn't stop talking about you coming," Mrs. Fitzgerald said as she clasped her hands. Mike did his best to smile while not trying to cut himself.
"Yay, I'm sure he did..."
"I'm sad my big boy won't be here. But I understand. How's your job?"
Mike looked at her, swearing that he can feel his twitching, she then gives a more motherly look and glances at him with a concern with a face.
"You don't like it."
He groans, Jeremy's mom had instincts to tell what was wrong and what wasn't, he tells the truth, "I don't, It barely gives me the money, and it's just fucking tedious."
"Why don't you work as a repairman for something, you have a degree on that, right?"
He just crosses his arms. It was true, he has the basic knowledge of repairing things. Metal or wood, he can do it, as long as it isn't complex. However, not a degree and a lot of places required such a thing.
"I do, but I can't really find anything that takes advantage of my repairing skills."
"I see, well-"
"MIKEY!" A very high pitched voice was heard from inside the house.
Mike look behind the mother to see the little girl, he knew this little girl, her name is "Susan", as the little girl hugged Mike really tight.
"Susan?" Mike asks calmly, and puts his more stupid face on, to act stupidly innocent, "Is it your birthday today?"
Susan nods eagerly, hugging him a bit more, before getting pulled back by her mother.
"Mikey! I can't wait to show you where we're going this year, it's gonna be so much fun!" Susan quickly, shouted while shaking with excitement.
"Well, what is this exciting place, then?"
"Bear pizza!"
"...what?"
Susan gave a confused face while looking at Mike, as the Mother looked at her daughter with worry before answering Mike's answer, "She meant Freddy Fazbear's Pizza."
"Freddy Fazbear's Pizza? That fu-freaking creepy place?" Mike simply said as the smile lowered on Susan's face.
"It's not that creepy, Mikey! I heard it's so much fun!" Susan claimed while jumping around Mike.
"But…" Mike tried to say something about that entire place.
Though quickly interrupted by Mrs. Fitzgerald, "Please Micheal. This...this is for little Susan, would you at least do this for her?" Mrs. Fitzgerald had a very suspicious smile, her stance suddenly grew more stern.
Mike shrugs it off, "I mean, I guess...?"
Susan looked immensely happy while shaking the brunette's hand, "Yay! Mikey is coming with us!" She ran out the door, as she jumps up and down.
Mrs. Fitzgerald follows along, "Come on, Mike, let's get it over with," Is the finishing sentence, coming from the mother before she and Jeremy's sister started to walk.
Mike raised a few eyebrows, but he shrugged, probably she was as uncomfortable as he was.
Maybe.
~Change~
Loud noises are all Bonnie heard, the kids cheering in the song Freddy's singing right now, all attention focused on him and the chicken, very little on him. The bunny long ago stopped caring about all that jazz. It was meaningless to try and think about it. He felt empty knowing that attention would never be less, nor will it be more. He simply stares towards the front of the audience with such little passion.
After what felt like a long time, Freddy finally ends the song, "Thank you, Thank you, everyone! Stay around to see us play more, we'll see you around kids, right Chica?" Freddy said to Chica.
"Yes, we will! Right, Bonnie?" Chica happily said, though, looking at Bonnie. Bonnie barely had time to even get out of his thinking space, he was so deeply interested in no longer thinking to even consider that he would be called out.
He would have said performed an action, Freddy immediately goes out of his way to say something before he could, "Take that as a Yes, folks! We'll be right back!"
He didn't care whatsoever about being interrupted.
No one commented how Freddy outright interrupted Bonnie, the curtains were closing. Bonnie felt no care, he didn't care about the children, he didn't care if he got interrupted, he didn't care if they thought he wasn't worthy anymore. He simply was in defeat and the worst part? He can't really do anything about it, he tried. It just seems to make things worse, and that's the problem! He makes everything worse.
Freddy gets annoyed how much of a drag the bunny could be, sometimes wishing he would just stop functioning. The bear noticed how annoyed Bonnie looked as simply rolled his eyes, "Get yourself together Bunny, we have a birthday girl coming up," He scoffed while looking at the animatronic. Bonnie didn't have an answer as he nodded slowly.
Chica would only look in the sidelines seeing Freddy being himself, she frowns. She truly wished to help Bonnie, so many times he was most indefinitely not deserving to be yelled at for each and every little mistake he made. She would help, but due to Freddy always watching her, she simply can't. She doesn't have the guts to do anything with Freddy around, you could call that cowardly. Chica at one time attempted to help Bonnie by distracting Freddy while the Bunny getting something he wasn't allowed to have. It failed in the end and she was banished to be around Bonnie, disobeying will lead to punishment, and she has seen what Freddy will do to others, she simply doesn't want to be in line. She sighed as she wanted to do something, but can do nothing with Freddy around.
Freddy straightens his tie, while sharply asking, "You two better be ready, I don't want more disappointment. You see what happens when you disappoint," Chica and Bonnie only nod, not daring to speak against him, Freddy smirked and got ready.
The announcer then spoke in the speakers, "Hello? Hello, hello! We have a special birthday party today! A little girl becoming seven! Give her applause!" A whole lot of clapping was heard behind the curtains, "And now, to introduce her to the great Fazbear Gang!" The announcer proudly.
Freddy and Chica were already putting on the fake smiles while Bonnie didn't. Bonnie got a good look at the birthday girl, she looked to be smaller than she should be as well as the curly brown hair, with a bow on her head. A red dress covered her with black shoes. She screamed to see the Gang!
"Freddy...Chica!" The girl yelled out as she jumps up and down, to people's amusement, except Bonnie. Bonnie felt like correcting the girl, but he remembers what Freddy said and simply just stands there.
"Why hello there, birthday girl! My name is Freddy Fazbear! And here's Chica!"
"Hi there, Birthday Girl! Enjoy eating those yummy pizzas?" The girl eagerly nodded while holding a slice. Freddy smiled down at the girl, "That's great! How about a little song for you?"
Just as she was about to say, "yes", a voice spoke aloud.
"What about the bunny?"
Everyone turned their head to the voice, wanting to know why the voice just interrupted the conversation. A singular human who definitely looked like he just got out of the bed. The human stands completely still as his stance was a little more angular compared to the rest. His hand was pointing right towards one of the most forgotten animatronics.
"What about him? I mean, aren't you going to show the 'Birthday Girl' the bunny as well?"
The employees all around would look right at each other. All of them didn't look all too pleased to find their show to be interrupted by a customer that wasn't the birthday girl. Freddy glared at the brunette for a bit, of course not enough for anyone to even notice. He would have to place a fake smile right on the face. He can't just reject him, it'll look the opposite the way kids see him, though he would hate what he was going to do, he puts a smile,
The speaker would then shout, "Bonnie! Bonnie, introduce yourself!" At that moment, everyone's attention went right straight to the purple animatronic, Freddy sharply turned to Bonnie.
Bonnie for a sec froze, he didn't expect to actually introduce himself and was NOT expecting a human to actually notice this, and he couldn't, he wish to speak, but his voice box is broken. A lot of eyes were being stared at him, as Bonnie put on his fake smile, Bonnie quickly waved as he looked down a little.
Susan tilted her head before smiling, "I like him, he's cute!"
Bonnie for a sec, felt something, for the very first time in his entire act. Deep inside his pump, he felt a change in pumping, it almost felt like he kinda liked that. This was before brushing it off and quickly got back into holding still. The more emotional animatronic looked over to Freddy, knowing the controlling leader is getting angry on the inside.
The bear grumbled something under his mouth for others to not hear before smiling, "Let's get this song on the road!" Freddy announced as the song started to play.
The performance begins once again, as Bonnie's hands automatically started playing the guitar, and so do the others. Bonnie's mind was somewhere else, questions rise inside his own mind. Why did that human care about his introduction? Why did he even acknowledge his existence? In a small chance,
Does he actually care about him?
...
He couldn't, maybe just simply saw that he wasn't introduced. That seemed exactly right. There wasn't much reasoning other than that. It was almost impossible for something like that to happen again after last time. He was just seeing things.
...
He kept on glancing at the human that asked, the human stared back, very neutrally.
~Change~
"That bunny is weird."
Mike continues to mumble to himself while sitting down, he notices that the Animatronic kept on staring at him time and time during the cheesy song the gang was playing.
When he first arrived at this place, it seemed a bit too childish for his taste. He could definitely see why kids would eat this kind of place up for granted. The place was practically filled with so much of kid-friendly posters. Plushies were everywhere. It was a kid's paradise...
However, he as well had some shivers.
He had heard of the rumors of this place, though he intends to excuse them as, 'a bunch of baloney,' still, it's in the back of his mind when he looks at this place, and so far, those rumors are coming up. He noticed during the song's performance that the bunny isn't really showing that he's going along the flow, heck the animatronics goes out of its way to look at him during a turn that shouldn't be possible. Still, they're simply animatronic, and animatronics tend to do that, so why did he think they had emotions, they can't, right?
It definitely seemed right, he couldn't see any other reasoning why.
"...excuse me, sir?" A voice that suddenly interrupts his thoughts. Mike felt him hear catch on a voice coming into his mind. He turns his head to see a man that had a uniform on that looked annoyed, an employee.
"What?" To the point he was.
"That was quite the ballsy move to interrupt a girl's birthday just for some introduction."
This for some reason made Mike mad, causing his cheeks to go red a bit, "What the hell do you mean? It's just an introduction. It wouldn't hurt anyone to do a literal fucking introduction."
"Still one hell of a stupid thing to do," The man counter bites the Mike, feeling scoffed over something so entirely pointless.
He felt a tick, "Just what the hell do you mean?"
"Nobody really gives a shit about that old thing. No reason to put attention on it if it even isn't going to be worth the effort. We're on a tight schedule here. That's a whole ass minute off the chart now."
"Seriously? Can't even effort a literal fucking minute? Something tells me it's more about bad management than anything else. You're just pulling shit out of your ass now."
The man crosses his arms as he begins to turn around, "You can't blame me for this kind of shit. Don't go around expecting everyone to agree with your shit choices. We're a business, we need to do what we can to survive, this place already is at it's lowest. Keep in mind we're here to make the buck. So don't just go around and do shit like that, a bit of a head's up."
Mike stared at the man while the man walked off, almost wanting to flip him off, the only thing stopping him was a few kids looking straight at him. Damn, he supposes he was right. He still thinks the guy was a bit of a cheap shake for even suggesting even a minute was too much. He decided to just block off any words that guy and just continue to watch. After what felt like hours, the music ends, making Mike look back on stage.
"Hm, Birthday Girl, here's an idea. You should meet Foxy, he's very much into pirates!" The supposed leader exclaimed while pointing towards Pirates Cove.
"He'll be ready in a few minutes with a couple of kids! So hurry on if you want!" Chica puts her line with Freddy, as required.
Susan easily was convinced, "Okay!" Her mother grabbed her arm and started to walk over to Pirates Cove, leaving Mike and a couple of random families. Though, Mrs. Fitzgerald came over to the table.
"If you feel like joining us, Micheal. You can..."
Mike stares at the Mother at that idea, "...I mean, I don't think I would want to watch a literal kids pirate show."
"Come on, Micheal. It won't be so bad, I-I'm sure..." Her face warys of sweat suddenly, the brunette immediately took notice of it, "Y-You can come along."
"...If I feel like it."
The mother tilts her head, "Well, alright. We'll be near the cove if you need us."
Mike simply nods while he watches both of them walk away towards the cove, and he would turn his head back to the animatronics. More specifically the bunny, who still stares at him, how does no one else pick up on this?
"How about another regular song, folks?" Freddy yelled out, heard throughout all the restaurants.
Oh hell no. He wasn't going to be dealing with this. If they were daring to make up some more bad stuff. He ain't going to stick around another five minutes to bleed his ears out-
"Yay!"
NO.
"And a 1, And a 2, And a 3-"
"Going to the cove," Mike mumbled to himself.
He took his time to completely ignore the next few seconds and to leave right towards Pirates Cove. The place was crowded enough with children all around the ground. There wasn't actually any seating near the cove, so the ground worked. The cove wasn't too bad, it looked like it would at least look kid-friendly to the kids for the next few years. The purple curtains still being cleaned, the decorations looked only barely been repainted. Though it had the rusty feeling that it would need to be refined. The point however that the kids were waiting for him. Not surprising him as he saw the kids eagerly waiting for the fox, giving him the message that the Fox was popular.
Just as he took a look around, he felt something bounce right onto him. The kid bounces, "Mikey! Are you excited?!" The girl's voice yells at Mike, while the brunette took seconds to realize who just violated his space, and would poorly attempt to hug her back.
"...Suuure."
Susan was convinced easily as she yelled out a little, Mike couldn't help but feel embarrassed, while the mother laughed a bit and grabbed her daughter, "Susan, how about sitting at an open spot? And save us from the room."
The idea seemed to entertain her enough and she nods, "Okay!" Susan ran to an open spot.
Mike and the Mom looked at each other, and saw the poor man's face, she tried to cheer him up, "Don't mind her, Michael. She's just way too excited."
Mike knew it was bothering her, but he swore he was fine, "It's fine. It's her birthday...kinda reminds me when I used to be excited for parties."
"I'm sure Susan and You would have been great friends then."
He scoffs, "Saying it like that as if we aren't already."
"Maybe a bit closer," A smirk grows on her face.
Mike and Mrs. Fitzgerald chuckled. Mrs. Fitzgerald looked to be worried, and Mike seemed to catch on, "What's wrong?"
Mrs. Fitzgerald shook her head, she lowered it, "Nothing Micheal, it's just...well..." She took a deep breath, "I'm not a good fan of this place."
"That makes two of us, too...cheesy.."
"I find that fine, it's just...well.."
Mike stared at the women, she also stood quiet, while they were waiting, a certain rocky voice boomed up.
"Ahoy, Mateys! Ahoy t' me Pirate Cove!"
The children cheer for the Fox, while Mike couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Th' names Foxy! Now, be this th' birthday lass? She's a pretty one..." Foxy fiercely look at Susan, with Susan blushing and nodding. "A quick one says I, I hope ye 'ave a mighty fun Birthday!" Foxy loudly said while making movements, making the children laugh.
In the back, Mike couldn't help. It feels weird in all of this, a bit out of place, he finally spoke a bit of his mind, "This bothers me."
Mrs. Fitzgerald looked over to Mike in confusion, "What you mean, Mike? Sure, it's a bit childish, but it's good in that way."
"I know but..." He glares, "...can't help it."
"Help with what?"
"Can't help but feel...something is wrong..."
"I'm sure it's just a gut feeling, Micheal."
"Yay...I guess..."
Mrs. Fitzgerald seemed somewhat happy and pushes her attention to Foxy, but not Mike. For some reason, he can't help but feel this was just wrong. Yay, their animatronics, yet he feels there was even more to this story...
Those rumors...
"Damn it, Mike, they're faking it, of course, they are programmed to be like this, why am I thinking this way?" Mike thought to himself while clenching his hands. Stupid random thoughts, right?
Mike then shifted his attention to the stage, the Bunny seems to be looking down for some reason, maybe it was a glitch? Mike shook off this random bought as he shouldn't really care, he has a birthday party to pay attention to.
~Change~
Hours pass as Mike felt himself dying on the inside, it was just as bad as he participated, if not worse. It wasn't bad at first, but it got worse and worse as the hours go, and the songs got to him. A lot of cheesy songs, going back and forth when a Pirate Fox that tells bad stories in his opinion, with a bear that smiles way too much, a chicken that sucks up, and a bunny that looks like he has depression but sings and dances the opposite of that.
Heck, the songs they sing are so terrible to him, he went to the bathroom just to get all his frustration out to how terrible this is, "FFFFFFFUUUUUUUCCCCCCCK!" Mike yelled out while covering his mouth, he didn't really want to be heard and get kicked out, still, he needed to get his frustration out somehow, "'I LOVE PIZZA, I LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!' Why is this so fucking annoying?! God!" Mike almost yelled out but lowered the tone.
The brunette would calm a bit more down as his hands slammed a little on the sink. He would take a couple of deep breaths as his hair flickers downwards. After a bit of silence, he thinks a little bit of it. He thinks a bit as the entire bathroom grows a little too quiet for his taste. He could even hear the sounds of the water dripping from the lack of budget of this place.
...
A single footstep made him turn a 180 across his back to see who caused it.
...
Nothing...
He held his forehead, "I'm losing my mind...I need to get my fucking head sorted," The toed man grumbled as he then sighed loudly and walked out.
Singular eyes watched...
Mike walked back to the area, only to find Susan eagerly waiting for her Mikey, "Mikey! It's about to happen!"
The brunette took a second to aside his anger and to think what was about to happen, "...what again?"
Susan giggled while spinning around, she was super excited to tell Mikey, "The gang is gonna wish me a happy birthday!"
Mike did his best to use his fake smile and fake happy voice, "That's...great. I'll be there in a moment..."
"Yay!"
Susan skipped away to the table she's destined to get her cake, while Mike was there to sit how to sit out the birthday song.
"That means they're going to sing another shitty song, wonderful!" He sarcastically thought as he only dreads on the thought.
Mike walked towards Susan's table to sit down to think about it all. The place itself wasn't terribly bad, the budget was however horrendous. He knew as well as any other adult that this place was practically on the edge of its seat. The creaked walls, the drying paint. The worse would be the animatronics, they looked to be old looking in some ways while they look dirty, more specifically, the Bunny. Chica, Foxy, and Freddy didn't seem to be all dirty, though still there, the Bunny look as it wasn't cleaned at all throughout the years, making him almost bad for him.
"Too bad you sing such annoying songs," Mike almost said for others to hear, but quieted himself down. The song ends as Freddy puts on that smile that Mike started to hate.
"Now then, it's time for a very special song! For a very special girl." Freddy cheerfully shouted to the audience.
It seemed painfully obvious who it was since they already introduced Susan. But they still make it out to be like they don't know, it makes Mike imagining himself breaking Freddy's hand to tell the bear to fuck off.
"I think I seeee her.." Freddy overly announced while making his arms look as he was seeking her. Susan quietly was giggling to herself. "Ah! There she is! Why don't we sing you a birthday song?"
Susan nod and jump to make sure to let him know she does want him to do it.
"Alright! Let me and Chica come over there, as well as Foxy!" Freddy said as he started to walk over to her.
For the second time, Mike looked at the bunny to come over as well, but he stood in place, looking down to the floor. Mike thought of some theories as the Bunny was showing such weird behavior. Was because he hasn't been upgraded for a long time and he stopped functioning right? Was it because something has happened to cause the bunny to be this way? Or was it because...their sentient? The last theory is a dumb one since their behavior is too robotic.
Still...
It's an option he wanted to try out.
Mike decided to walk towards the stage where everyone's attention is to Susan's, he looked left and right before he would get right on stage. Mike jumped on stage, causing some noise to the purple animatronic as he raises his head up to see Mike.
Mike stood there with his arms folded, "Hello?"
Bonnie didn't move as he looked at Mike with his red eyes.
"Can you hear me?"
They both stare at each other as the human stands a bit closer to the bunny. The temptation grows through the roof, Bonnie almost wanted to break harshly out of the command. Wanting to nod, but then saw something, he saw Freddy glaring at him from panicked and looked at Mike, with slightly more widening eyes.
"Hello?" He asked again, only more impatient.
Bonnie didn't move.
He waved his hand, "I'm talking to you, at least a wave back?"
No response.
"Seriously, at least not even a wink?"
He kept going, but as he does, the Bunny got more and more emotionless, later on, was fed up, he sighed. Mike walked off, he wanted to test out that they were sentient, but from that bunny's response, he could tell it wasn't the case. The bunny sighed to himself as he saw Freddy looked back to Susan, satisfy that Bonnie didn't do it. Bonnie felt sad as he looked even more down, a chance to be wasted.
~Change~
It felt like an eternity. The show went on for hours on hours, it felt like dragging itself to the ground with its content. Dry and unoriginal, but it still would give in to the small children's interest. The bunny felt like he would peel his own optics right out of his sockets and simply no longer deal with anything anymore. He wanted nothing more than to rest away his days and never think about his entire life wasted to this misery.
Yet, he was only then reminded of that human. The human that was so 'kind.'
He never met someone like him. He could only think of the human, the human had such a good impression, while it was a short interaction, it almost felt like forever. He was interested to say the very least...
Bonnie stared at the messy floor where so many children made a mess. They never cleaned it, it was expected that it would be messy every time a child's presence was near here. The animatronic had no reason to think anymore about it. The place looked second-worst at a time like this, he never really had much of a dare to give a look at the place as a whole...
He still had no desire to be here, nor to live.
He would then felt a flicker right to the head, he didn't need to know where it came from as he could practically feel the bear's face. The controlling animatronic would flicker his head more while would even grab it, "I knew you would make the right choice, little bunny. You know how little that would truly benefit you in the long end," the bear snickers a little while teasing the purple rabbit some more...
It was only a little bit more before a few stomps were all it took for the bear to slow down.
"Stop it, Freddy. There are still some employees left. I don't...want us to get caught..." Chica mumbles and points to the two employees still mopping the floor. It would seem so that Chica was actually paying attention.
However, Freddy sees it in a different way, "There is nothing wrong with a little teasing, Chica. Do you think I don't pay attention to where I am? In no way do I want to listen to what you have to say after what you've been pulling lately," He snapped suddenly while glaring at the chicken downwards.
She shrinks a little, "I-I just...was worried...is all..."
"Is it that? Or is it something else?"
"Nothing else! I was...just..."
"Then you can keep quiet about it. I know exactly what I'm doing."
The animatronics suddenly shut themselves up as then two mere employees were coming right into the main area, by then, they were all staring at nothing. The male looked significantly more annoyed than the female, he would show this by simply placing the hats in an aggressive stack, most of the hats tipped themselves by the ends of them, which she wasn't exactly all too better at it. Both of them do such a lousy job at decorating the place to the mere point of not even trying with stacking the chairs whatsoever, and just leave them be. they worked through the decorations for minutes, they both were making sure they were getting through this without trouble...
That's when one of them would finally break the silence with a cough, "Ya heard they're going to get another nightguard?"
The female didn't hesitate to answer that, "Heard that already. It's just stupid, man. What the actual hell is wrong with these nightguards? Can't they stick around for one fuckin' night or what?"
"Beats me. Could be that pay ain't worth five nights," The guy wondered while dropping a hat.
"People are desperate for everything these days. 120$ is a fucking steal if you think about it, basically watching these lifeless puppets with little work. I'd get something like that."
The guy employee shrugs, "Wouldn't know, though it would be a bit hard with that...uh, purple guy over there. Guy almost broke a kid there," He points right toward the big bunny, who didn't show any emotion, but definitely felt those man's words hit. Freddy giggles a little.
She rubs her forehead, "Right...well, couldn't be too bad right? His free-roaming is off-"
"Until midnight..."
"Doesn't matter, no kids are around at night, and certainly no anything. What is he going to break?"
"It's whatever, another nightguard, more useless as things, honestly, can we finish? I want to actually get home and hit the night."
She scowls while continuing on to her work duty, her eyes glued to the floor more while no longer really putting the effort on trying to get this done. The two of them sweep around the entire place in an effort to get this done. The brooms go by fast...
This also meant the obvious animatronics reacting to the news, the chicken of course had no feeling about it herself. It wasn't even a full day until they got another human to do the job again, it was becoming more of a nightmare to keep up with so many of the nightguards. During the night, Freddy has set up rather a simple game, the game involving his new favorite thing, killing. The game would start with all of them trying to get to the nightguard with specific rules. They were only allowed in specific locations, the game lasted from 12:00 to 6:00, and finally, if they were able to get the nightguard...
...Let's say the nightguard finally gets the sleep they desired...only forever.
It wasn't how much she would be forced into this. She already knew herself what she was getting herself into, it was only, however, that her friend is forced...
Bonnie...
She was terrified of him...
She didn't want anything to happen to the miserable animatronic. So far, he has tried so much to avoid the night guard, he didn't want anything to do with this game. He was numb to everything accordingly, but one thing for sure was how scared he was when it came to brutally murder Nightguards. It haunts him, he never once killed, yet, he was completely against the idea. Just by stance alone she saw, the bunny's optics widen further, and his expression grew wary.
To top it all off, the bear grins a little, he had no heart, he lost it long ago, and he couldn't help but just find amusement over it all, "It's about time," He straightened his bowtie, "I was getting quite bored."
Chica wouldn't help but interfere, "W-We just had a nightguard last night..."
"Chica, I do understand that, but I'm feeling good, I want to keep on feeling good...to feel lifeless is to feel no purpose. We wouldn't want that, would we? Besides, the faster, the better..."
The Chicken lays down her head for a moment, before realizing something, "W-What about the children? I know they aren't you-"
"They never were my care."
"...They never...were?"
"Never," He stares up close to a poster, "Nightguards are the only thing to ever entertain me during these boring times. Of course before...all of that."
"...I suspected you never cared, but...do you seem nothing more of them than just distractions?" She was raising her tone where exactly she didn't mean it, "We were supposed to entertain children, and I know that wasn't in your interest, but you don't even feel anything when you see those children smile? Anything?"
"I don't think your listening, Chica. I'll make this very clear for you. I never cared. The children themselves get us business. The more business, the longer we last, they served their purpose, then comes the night, it's a festival, a festival of fun! We get to have our only fun in this forsaken place."
Chica would feel quite awful overhearing all of it, she knew herself that Freddy has been caring less and less about what's around him. The reflection of his actions mirror this, however, to hear it coming from the bear was another feeling she could not get over, it was almost as if...
...The realization came to her.
He never cared...
He...
...never cared...
She felt anger.
She knew it wasn't exactly rational, she knew this wasn't a feeling she should be having, she knew this exact emotion damages her. All of this, however, would become shallow to her as she could feel all the same feelings gather themselves into one bottle. The single bottom bursting and breaking as it merges all of these feelings towards the bear. She could feel her own hands shake in anger.
Her optics would rise in anger as he could see the smug bear tilt his head while poking at Bonnie more, "You can't wait as well, can't you?" He teases as flickering the bunny's head against his own will. The depressed animatronic does nothing while letting the bear have his fun, letting him make him feel nothing.
The bear rolls his head, "Now, it shall be time until-"
The biggest regret the chicken would ever feel...
She would slap Freddy to the face.
...
The bear himself stands completely still, his expression becomes still. His optics were completely stiff as the chicken would stare directly at the big bear with her hand still in a long and stiff position. Her realization wouldn't come in before she then felt the emotions come right inside her. She would then begin stepping back, watching as the bear's head would shake never like before. She takes a step back, her talons scratching the wooden floor with the mere pressure she was putting on the floor.
It was only seconds later, before Freddy's expression darkens, "I see."
The chicken wouldn't understand exactly what that means, all she knew was that she was going to get it, not after what she did. She knew exactly what happens to those who oppress the mighty leader. She was more scared of what could happen to her as the bear's expression twists some more...
He begins smiling.
Nothing about that was good news.
It would be suddenly the sounds of the door begin to open, and at that single moment, all expression and action come to a mere halt. She stares directly still as do the other animatronics. It would be then a singular human comes right out those doors. The door sprung open another young man. The young man gives off such a 'careless' feeling towards the entire restaurant. He would smile directly at the broken establishment.
That's when the other man comes into the restaurant, it was no other than the Owner of this entire building...
The Manager.
The man had a very uptight and very mature appearance, there wasn't a single thing that was even slightly out of place when it came to this individual. The shoes of his each made a very rough, but low sound. His tie was tightened perfectly, everything about him was as professional as a Manager could get. He had the more brownish-grayish hair coming out of him, though it's clear he has been brushing his hair brown to maintain a good look. The only negative thing about him would be the expression, the expression looked exhausted, he didn't look nearly as energetic and upbeat as the young man next to him.
He sighs, "Now, let me give you a very quick tour, you see-"
That's when immediately the youngster grins and waves his hands, "Woah, hey, I'm good! I don't need a tour, I'm good to go!" He claims as he puffs his chest a bit and would give a gesture of command.
Yet, he still wasn't sure, "Are you sure? I would be certain that you would want a tour of some kind to get to know the place a bit more-"
"Bro, look, I get it, you want to help me. I'm good! I can handle myself, I know how to nightguard."
It would then become not much of a struggle to convince the Manager, "I see. Then I trust you to know what to do."
"Course. I got it in the bag!"
"Then you'll need this," He would then bring out the uniform that was mostly known again, staff, "This is to let anyone know if ever, that you're the Nightguard."
The youngster immediately grabs it, "I got it, man."
"Remember the rules," After that, the Manager would look a little worried, but he wouldn't feel too bad about it as he would turn his back. He would begin to exit the main area and reach for his keys and begin to lock the place. Sudden guilt would shiver down the Old Man's place. He knew this was very wrong...
Yet, there wasn't a single thing he could do about it.
After all,
It wasn't his game.
The new guard inside the pizzeria would scoff and throw the shirt right on the table, "The old man expects me to wear something like that? Getting a little old to really think I wear something like that," The youngster would rudely grumble, "Being a guard here is going to be easy."
He begins to make his way across the main area, he would somewhat push the tables aside and even spit a bit on one of the cups that were badly organized on one of the party tables. He walks to up towards the stage, though maintaining his space with him smirking upstage, the curtains were closed, but it wouldn't matter as the new Nightguard would foolishly begin to jump up to the stage. He sluggishly moves his body up and would begin to peek his head through the curtain and towards the 'powered down' animatronics.
He walks up to one of them, the bear, "Big bear himself. How the hell does my brother like you? You're damn ugly," The young man rubs the muzzle of Freddys, and then he turns his head towards the Chicken, "Wow...your even more ugly than the bear, that's damn impressive," He mocks by simply smirking, all before he would then turn his head to the very bunny, and though he had a more neutral face, he laughs, "Wow...I didn't know there was another robot like you out here Wow, you look like a damn bastard," He laughs while hitting the bunny a little, "Can't believe they let something like this on the stage, seems like a waste," He would finally turn his head around.
Though there wasn't exactly any emotion coming from the animatronics, the bunny shook his body a little...
A little.
The human would begin to make his way off the stage and to where one of the hallways is, it was getting close to his shift, he rather not get yelled at if he wasn't near his office at the time. The man walks as lazily as he can towards the main office. Now ready to begin his shift.
The chicken throughout this entire thing simply watches the human do these rather not so nice things to her and the bunny. She felt directly bad with her friend, even if he didn't directly affect the bunny all too much, she could just tell the words hurt more than his actions did. She almost wanted to comfort him...
She only then reminds herself that there was a single big 'STOP' sign in front of her.
...right.
The bear still hasn't said anything this entire time, which strikes as odd to the Chicken, as normally he would begin expressing something in regards to the nightguard, the biggest surprise would be the lack of care over touching to the bear in the first place. It was in every right for the bear to begin twitching over such a touch of a finger, yet, he still doesn't move. His eyes remained cold. He remains completely still...
It scares her.
Bonnie still hasn't felt anything regardless of the Nightguard, it was all routine at this point. He expected the guard to never care all too much. He never found anyone to truly care for their job, it was as simple as it can be, the money. The money was always the driving point for these guards, enough to make a quick buck and go. He didn't really care for all of that, though at one point, he did want one of the guards to survive. They did make it further into the night than anyone else...
Unfortunately, they were so quick to put a stop to it.
Freddy never allows anyone to make it past any further than the later Nights. He was so keen eye on the Guard's weakness, he was always on top of anyone he has ever met. To him, every human was the same, they all had the same predictable movements, all of them had the same mindset, all of them were the same...
It was almost instinct, but he would hear a sound coming from his own chip. He wasn't alarmed, he knew exactly what this met...
The game was going to begin-
"Bunny," He would shake to the tone, he would immediately turn his head to the abusive bear, his stance was still so dark, "Begin."
"...begin?" Chica repeats, and clearly that was the wrong thing to say, the bear would glare in her direction.
"Begin."
Bonnie himself was utterly confused, never once have they ever begin so quick to the night, it was always usually 3-4 A.M. when they could begin moving. He wasn't even sure if he should, and if this was one of Freddy's old jokes, what sets away this mindset however was how serious the bear looks, his eyes looked as cold as they could produce.
He wouldn't question him, and he awaits when the clock ticks.
The sounds of the lights instantly turning off rings his ears. The pizzeria's semi-happy atmosphere disappears in a flash, and everything becomes completely different. The bunny would usually not care so much about the dimmed lights...
However, Freddy seemed in no mood to play all too much.
Bonnie would begin to walk right off the stage, he would remove the guitar from his hands, and walks right towards the right view of his, the very same room he grew himself desperately in, the backroom. He walked right inside and would look directly at the camera.
The camera's red dot wasn't active, and in this case, meaning the camera wasn't being watched by the Nightguard.
He would do what he usually does, stare. It was the only thing he felt he was ever good at. He stares at the camera either until the camera's dot lightens' up, or any sign of watching coming from the Nightguard...
...He stares...
...stares...
Staring...
...
...
...
...
...
Bonnie feels he was losing track of time. He wasn't exactly sure how long he has been staring at the camera for ages. He was keen on it, he wouldn't even let a single second go to wasting himself a slap to the face by the bear for not even staring at the camera for a literal second. He always kept in mind what punishment shall be if he were to ever disobey the rules, plain and simple, torture. Torture was something he never liked, he always never liked the feeling of torture. Freddy always mentioned how he would love to do hell at the bunny if he ever got the chance, it was something he wanted to avoid...
It was this time around however, the camera would be doing practically nothing.
It confused the bunny quite a bit, he was wondering why the camera would suddenly stop moving, he himself wasn't sure. He knew questioning wasn't something he was supposed to do, questioning always gets him into trouble. It was only the idea of what was going on that intrigues him.
The animatronic stares at the camera some more, feeling all kinds of feelings getting him. He watches and watches...
This wasn't exactly-
"AHHHH!"
Suddenly, he stops. His optics were to drop downwards, he would completely move his head to the direction of the scream, his face expressing surprise. It wasn't exactly an animatronic scream, they would be robotized to be able to tell the difference, mostly out of poor voice boxes. He was however hearing the pain in the voice. Bonnie should know better than to interfere, he almost felt like he wanted to ignore it...
"F-FREDDY...!" The bunny would suddenly hear the chicken's voice. His optics then wary at the door, that's when all focus led to whatever the heck was happening inside the pizzeria.
It was in better judgment.
He would run right out of the door and would tilt his entire body to check what exactly happens outside the door he was just in...
All he would see was the sound of footsteps heading right towards the Office, this would cause immense confusion to the bunny. He watches from afar. He almost knew that he should be hiding from behind the scenes as always to avoid most of the conflict coming from himself. He stays put as he would only hear distant screaming coming from his own ears. He felt more fear coming from his own heart seeing as it was getting louder and louder...
It was only a matter of time until certain figures come out of the hallways...
It would be no other than Freddy...
...and Chica...?
...and the human, being held by Freddy?!
What was going on...?
The bear wastes no time to get across the area, with the chicken not lacking behind whatsoever, they both seemed to have two completely different expressions about the entire thing. Chica would look almost angrily confused, but at the same time, was keeping her space from the bear. She looked almost distressed about this entire situation, she definitely looked like she wasn't exactly having with Freddy's completely contradicting rules.
Freddy's expression, however, would develop a completely different emotion.
His expression was a stone-cold smile. The smile had nowhere else to go other than to the face of the bear's. He was completely determined to do what he must, he almost looked like he didn't care that he broke his own rules...
All of this told the bad news.
The bear held the human firmly while he would yell all kinds of things, "S-Someone help! Someone help! SOMEONE!" The man bangs as much as he could right on the animatronic, he would go as far as to fist it right to the metal. It didn't seem to bother Freddy.
The bear would finally come over to where the backroom was, his footsteps echoed across the room, the eyes of his glowing brightly in the darkness. It was only a little over a minute before he would stand still, the man still struggling...
"...Bunny, come out."
Bonnie would freak a little, but at the same time, knew very well that Freddy would find him. It was only a matter of how much he would care about the animatronic, which was so little, yet, he wouldn't get why he was still here...
He would come out at the command out of sheer force. He saw the human struggling inside the bear's grasp, the leader grins, "Now then, it's time to make a little settlement," He then threw the human right on the table, causing head pain onto the human, and in that, slamming a palm right to the chest of the human, it makes Bonnie cringe seeing the human being crushed by a mere paw. The human coughs blood immediately to the action.
The human continuously would attempt to struggle, this was useless as he could feel the bear crushing him more with his paw, it was as if the power surging through the bear was being placed into him. He felt all of his blood leaving him, he could feel his organs beginning to fade a little, he felt everything beginning to shut down little by little, he was struggling for air...
It would be a little terrifying to the bunny, but this was something he was almost used to-
"Now bunny, I want you to finish the job."
...What?
Bonnie stares directly at the leader, his face remaining the same way, and the chicken would gasp...
"Y-You can't do that to Bonnie! He-"
A slam to the table was enough to alert the chicken, the bear's eyes become black, "If you know what's best Chica, you shall remain quiet," He turns his head, "Finish him."
The rabbit animatronic looks at the human, he was paling more and more by the second, he was growing whiter. He was practically dying, it would begin to twist the bunny's pump. He could feel all of his emotions beginning to get in the way, he felt himself beginning to oil a little by optics, he wanted to shake his head, he wanted to refuse. He didn't want anything about this. He wanted to simply run away and not even look at what's happening, however, the face of Freddys begins to convince him otherwise, he could feel all of his will slipping away by the sheer look on Freddy's face, he could feel all feeling to run away falling apart...
You shall never run away. You shall never run away. You shall never run away.
Bonnie felt his own optics stare at the dying human more, he felt his own paw coming closer, he begins to feel his own paw holding the human. Everything was becoming blurring, he begins to no longer have any feeling about it. He didn't know what was happening, it almost felt like his movements were being completely restricted...
All he could think about...
Was the human.
He only heard voices by then...
"B-BONNIE!"
"Good Bonnie."
"AA-AAAA-AAAAACKKK!"
Instantly, all he saw was his own paws in blood. He felt like he woke up...
He saw the complete mess, the human corpse was bleeding to death. The bear's paws were messy with the blood of yet, another victim. The victim would soon be placed inside the bear's suit, which would usually be the cause of the death. He stares down at the mess he made, he looked at what he was has done, everything about him felt wrong. Bonnie felt oil run his eyes, he couldn't believe it...
His very first kill.
"Congrats Bunny. Your very first kill, it's wonderful...is it?"
He didn't even make a single move...
Freddy turns his head to Chica, "Maybe next time, you won't have to be such a moron," He begins to turn his head, "That was fun."
Chica was in disbelief as she felt immensely guilty, she begins to look down as she felt a bump to the shoulder by the same bear. She watched as coldly, the bear leaves to what Bonnie has done, she wastes no time to come over to Bonnie, and shake him, "Bonnie, are you alright?"
However, Bonnie heard nothing, his optics were just varying at his hands.
In an instant...
He fell asleep.
A/N: The very first chapter of this emotional adventure.
Okay, I know that a lot of you want to move on to the next chapter and to continue to be invested, however, word of note is that Chapter 2 has not been revisioned, and it's quite literally the same thing as Chapter 1 in the grammar issues and all. I just want to say, please bear with it, while it may start off in a rocky start, it gets better. It gets so much better. You simply don't have to, but it would mean the world to give it a shot...
I will continue to try and work on this story, to make it the best it can be.
Also, it will happen, if you know what I'm talking about :)
Don't forget to review...
See you on the flip side.
