CHAPTER 10
"Well, that was weird." Bonnie said out loud. Chica nodded, and Foxy joined them.
"It was unnerving."" Foxy said. Freddy knew that Foxy was the only one that really knew that something strange was up with that guy, and he decided that he should fill the other two in, because Freddy did not like the guy, and he was really suspicious.
"It was weird. It was like two different programmings were controlling me at once. I was drawn to the noise, but I also wanted to put whoever was making the noise into a suit. But I was being drawn away from the night guard." Chica said, and Foxy and Bonnie nodded their agreement.
"Bonnie, Chica, we need to talk." Freddy said. It didn't take Freddy long to fill them in on his suspicions about Mark, and they all agreed that there was something off about the man. Mark was sitting outside the pizzeria again, watching the kids line up before finally leaving. Freddy watched the car as it left, a bad feeling making his stomach queasy. This guy needed to go.
Kids soon poured in as the pizzeria opened. Freddy kept an eye out for when the Boss arrived, and followed him immediately to the soon as it was just the Boss and himself inside the room, Freddy looked the Boss straight in the eye.
"The night guard has to go." Freddy said solidly. The Boss looked confused.
"Why? He survived two nights, I need him here."
"No- there is something off about him. He isn't right."
"Why? What has he done?"
"Well… nothing yet, but he acts strange. He watches the kids, and leads the others around at night as if he is trying to control us."
"It just sounds to me like he is trying to find an easier way to survive. He is staying. I can't afford to loose him and have to find another night guard. Now please, I have some paperwork to do, and you have an audience waiting for you."
Freddy fumed as he left the office. While it was true that the man hadn't done anything, it was what he might do that really worried him.
"You okay?" Foxy asked the distraught bear.
"Don't worry, Foxy. I'll be fine."
The day went on and night time came. The night went pretty much the same way the previous night had. Except that this time, Mark made sure he kept Freddy on the stage, much to Freddy's annoyance. He actually wanted to get to the office. What did the guy do all night in there?
Daytime came, but this time Mark did not leave. Instead, he loitered around.
"What is he doing? He should have left long ago." Chica said.
"Maybe he wants pizza?" Bonnie asked. Chica growled. She was annoyed at the fact she had been led around for two nights in a row.
"I could fix him a pizza. Can't say he would like it, though." Chica smiled.
Freddy wasn't listening. His eyes were fixated on Mark, who was staring right back.
"Freddy?" Foxy asked. Freddy broke eye contact, and looked down at the fox.
"What is it?" He growled, surprising everyone. The bear looked more angry that they had ever seen him. The bear was just really annoyed by the fact that he couldn't do anything about the man. Freddy shook his head.
"Sorry. Don't worry about it. After all, we have a job to do." Freddy said. The bear sighed, and let a smile back on his face as a little girl ran over to him, and gave him a picture she had drawn of the bear and herself. Freddy smiled. He loved the kids. If he ever felt down, he could count on them and his family to cheer him up.
The morning went by normally, kids coming and going. That afternoon, there was a birthday party going on in one of the party rooms. The band performed for them, then the kids ran off to play.
"Hey, anyone seen Mark?" Chica asked. The others looked around, but there was no sign of the man. Then one of the parents started to go crazy.
"Joshua! Joshua!" She looked panicked. Then soon she wasn't the only one. Five kids were gone, vanished. Soon the entire pizzeria was in an uproar,but the kids were not found. The pizzeria was closed and the police searched the pizzeria, but finding nothing they spread out to the rest of the town. At some point during the search, Freddy spotted Mark. His hair the deep purple that meant no good, and Freddy knew he was responsible in some way. But the kids were not found, and a robot couldn't blame a seemingly innocent man for such s terrible thing as kidnapping five kids.
"It was him. I know it." Freddy growled. Chica and Bonnie agreed. Foxy just sat down. He was frustrated that even though they had told the Boss that it had been Mark, they had no proof, and no one was going to listen to an animatronic. They were all furious. But where were the kids?
Freddy had looked everywhere, but couldn't find anything. The animatronics were on their stage when the night guard entered. They no longer cared what their programming told them to do. Tonight, there would be no resisting. This man was going to meet his end. They hadn't been able to see the man's face, but they knew it had to be Mark, they could tell from his vibrant purple hair.
Twelve hit, and the hunt began. There would be no holding back. Soon, all the animatronics were rushing at the office. Doors were closed and Foxy pounded on its closed surface, unrelentingly. Within an hour, something happened that hadn't happened in a long time. The power ran out. The doors that the night guard had frantically shut opened. The man inside was all Freddy's. The anger that Freddy felt flooded through his body as he approached the office, and his eyes lit up as his song began to play. But what his eyes revealed was not what he expected.
Mark was not inside but what else was there shocked the animatronics and they froze, momentarily freed from the programming as they saw the scene unfolding before them. Five kids were before them, shivering in terrified fear. In one corner near the door Freddy saw what seemed to be a golden suit that resembled himself, but there seemed to be something it lacked, but Freddy had no idea. But he hardly paid it attention.
"Just in time. Though I have to say, you came a bit early." A voice came from behind the animatronics in the doorway and they turned around surprised. Mark laughed as the animatronics tried to grab him only to find they couldn't. His hair burned a flaring purple and his face held a sickening grin.
"Can't move with your A.I off, huh? Even though you show some strange understanding, you are still robots. All I had to do is walk up behind your distracted backs and push a button. How easy!" Mark laughed again as one by one he shut down the animatronics. Then, holding a knife in his hand, he looked towards the children who were huddled in the far corner from the open door.
"Now then. Who is first?"
Somewhere else, two beings woke up to find themselves locked in a dark forgotten room.
"It has happened again."
