Five Nights at Frida's 2
Chapter 1 Childhood Trauma
The time of business was at its peak. The music was playing, the children were laughing. Joy and happiness filled the room.
"Hiya kids, are you ready for fun filled pizza song?" A jolly male voice spoke on a stage joined by cheers of little kids.
"And don't forget the cake for the special birthday boy." A gentle but exciting female chuckled.
Those two were Freddy and Frida, the musical duo that had the spotlight for each and every birthday bash. With those two and their band of friends, the only reason why a kid would be sad is when the parents had to take them home for happy hour. Except for today.
Today was a little boy's birthday. His name at the time was Lil Johnny. It was his 10th birthday today and he wanted to go to his favorite place in the entire world. Freddy and Frida's Fazbear's Pizza. The boy was in tears of joy as soon as the music started. He danced while eating pizza until his stomach turned.
"Mommy, I need to use the bathroom." Lil Johnny said before hopping out of his seat to the bathroom.
He was heading to the hallway to the bathroom until he began to hear voices from the back. As a curious child he passed the bathroom and went further down the hallway. As he was getting closer the voices began to get more aggressive.
"I'm telling you, this is going to rocket our business through the roof." One of the voices said.
"Your insane, that kind of publicity, not to mention the fact that your trying to hurt our guests just to make a little extra cash besides the lawsuits." Another but mischievous voice said. The first voice tried reason
"Exactly, we'll have nothing to do with it. Just a glitch in the system and nobody can touch us, we get away from it scott free." The second voice began to grow more evil
"I'm not going to let you hurt anyone. I don't even understand how you can think like this, were supposed to be in this together!" The first voice began to yell.
Lil Johnny was beginning to feel afraid, he could feel the tension rising within the room. He tried to leave quietly but he tripped and fell on the floor. He could see a shadow from the room about to come around the corner. He quickly got up and ran back down the hall to see that no one was in the main dining hall. The lights were on but the room was silent. Johnny remembered feeling alone and scared in the emptied room. He backed up before hitting something soft from behind him. He slowly looked up to see a bright yellow face smiling down on him.
He shouted from the surprise of something towering over him and jumped. He took one long to see one of his favorite characters.
"Goldie?!" Johnny jumped for joy.
"Hi there little one, what brings you here?" She said.
"I'm a big boy now, today is my 10th birthday!" Johnny said still vibrating from the energy.
"Wow, you are growing, did you have a good birthday?" She asked. She was so gentle and nice, Johnny forgot what he was scared about in the first place.
"I did, thank you guys, today was the best." He said.
The lights turned off however and Goldie was nowhere to be seen. Johnny didn't understand what was happening, his eyes took a moment to adjust. He backed up feeling afraid again until he bumped into something once more. Johnny looked up.
"Goldie?" He asked timidly. It wasn't her however. Bright red eyes, dark and filthy fur. With teeth that could bite him in half.
"Why leave so soon? We have some catching up to do Johnny." A dark and evil voice said before picking the little boy up with both hands with a tight grip making him lose air.
"Joooooohnnyyyyy. Time to playyyy." A horror looking Freddy sang before shoving him in his mouth and taking a bite.
John woke up in his bed screaming at the ceiling before getting slapped in the face by his girlfriend Jessica. He gasped a breath and looked around to verify that he was in his bedroom. A tear left his eye as his mind slipped back into reality.
A glass of water was held out for him. He grabbed it as the screaming killed his throat.
"Same dream again?" Jessica asked.
"Yeah." John felt distant. Still trying to grab his thoughts from the clouds.
"This is starting to become more frequent." She said concerned.
"I'm fine, it's just a dream, that's all it is." He said.
"That's what you said before. Now that's not good enough." She said. "Maybe you need to see someone about this. I mean you drink every night which is still illegal by the way."
"What do you want me to say? I can't sleep, I can barely focus at work. All because of that damn place." He said rubbing his forehead. Silence filled the room.
"Yeah me too, which is why I think we should take a break." She suggested. Those words didn't really come as a shock. John did have a problem. And he knew that it was affecting Jessica too. He didn't want her to leave, in fact he wanted to beg for her to stay as she was the only one to comfort him at night.
"That may be a good idea." He said. Not sure what he's thinking at this point. Jessica leaned in and kissed his forehead.
"I love you." John said.
"Me too." Jessica said before walking out the door.
John slammed his back on the bed and tried to not think of anything. Not his girlfriend, or former girlfriend, not the dreams, not anything, but one thing for certain, he could not sleep the rest of the night.
The next day, John was at work. Falling asleep while the burgers were burning on a grill. As soon as his eyes closed, he saw the same terrifying face before taking a bite out of him. Next thing he knows, the smoke alarm goes off making everyone evacuate the shop.
"Damn it John, I'm not letting you in this shop ever again!" His boss yells at him as the fire crew was marching inside.
"God damn it." He mumbled before going home.
He sat on his bed, and popped open and a beer. Thinking that it's been 8 years and he still can't stop having that same dream of that stupid place. Ever since then, he refused to celebrate his birthday. It seemed to just get worse every year. He turned on the TV and an ad popped up.
"Everyone needs a place to relax, so come on down to Frida's Bar and Lounge. Our exclusive and unique servers will make sure you enjoy your drinks and sit back in our luxurious lounge." A man was standing in the middle of the screen in his mid screen faded to a help wanted poster with smaller words 'no application needed.'
It was then the screen turned black and so did the entire room as John didn't pay the power bill.
"Not much of a choice here." He said.
