New chapter, whoo. Last chapter was a bit of a cliffy. Well, finally got a new chapter, I hope everyone likes it.


The next thing I knew, I was being dragged down the hall, kicking and screaming. I didn't know what would happen and I didn't want to know. I tried to make Bonnie let go but it wasn't happening. I was so scared and on the verge of tears. I tried desperately to get away from Bonnie, but it was a losing battle. His grip was like a vice.

Soon enough I was back in the main room again. I don't think I was even breathing when I saw the rest of the animatronics waiting there. I was suddenly shoved in Foxy's direction and I stumbled before thankfully keeping my balance. My brain told me to run but my legs wouldn't move.

I couldn't stop shaking, I thought I heard two of them saying something but all I could hear clearly was my own heart pounding as my anxiety shot through the roof. I started to feel dizzy and must have fainted because all I saw next was black.

I had no idea what was going on. I could hear voices: arguing, scolding, complaining and then it was quiet for a while.

I woke up with my head spinning. I didn't open my eyes right away. Was that real? Were the animatronics moving? Were they the voices I heard when I passed out? I shivered before slowly opening my eyes.

"Huh?"

It was nearly pitch black. I noticed I was sitting against what I'm guessing was a wall. I looked around a bit as I waited for my eyes to adjust. I always hated the dark. Ever since I was a kid I was terrified of the dark.

As my eyes adjusted it took me a moment to realize that I was in Pirate's Cove. I was a bit relieved to see none of the animatronics around. But I still didn't know what was going to happen. That was the scariest part of the situation.

I was pulled from my thoughts when I heard arguing from the other side of the curtain. I don't know who the first voice is, but judging from the accent of the other, it must be Foxy. Curiosity got the better of me and I slowly moved to the curtain and peeked outside. I saw Foxy and it looked like he was arguing with Bonnie.

"Well I don't know what you expected to happen." At that statement from Bonnie I was guessing they were talking about me.

Foxy growled and looked like he was about to hit Bonnie, but Freddy cut in before he could.

"Enough! Both of you!" I couldn't help but notice his voice was different from the one he used on stage. "We don't even know why she's here this late."

Bonnie crossed his arms, "I say we stuff her and be done with it."

Foxy growled again, "Try it and ye be finding yerself in pieces!"

He didn't give Bonnie a chance to retort as he turned and started to walk back to Pirate's Cove. I panicked and scrambled back to where I was before against the wall. Do I pretend to still be unconscious? I had no idea what to do, my mind was racing. While I was trying to decide what to do, the curtains opened.

Foxy just stood there for a moment before he turned and looked at me. I was frozen in fear as he started walking towards me. When he was a foot away I closed my eyes again, waiting for the worst and shaking like a leaf.

For a minute nothing happened and then Foxy said something that made me open my eyes again.

"What?"

He was kneeling in front of me to be at eye level and repeated, "Ye don't need to be afraid, Lass."

I just stared at him for a moment, the silence that started to grow got a bit uncomfortable for me and I searched for the right words to force out.

"W-what's going on?"

Foxy tilted his head a bit, "That's what we wanting to know. Why are ye here so late?'

"O-overtime. I n-need the m-money." I couldn't stop stuttering like a person in an interrogation afraid of saying the wrong thing.

With what he said next I think he was smiling, hard to tell when he has that broken jaw. Even harder to believe his design would even allow any kind of expression.

"Ye need to calm down, lass. Nothing will be happening to ye."

I forced myself to speak properly, "Is that…uh...is that all you wanted…to know?"

He nodded, "Aye, among other things."

"Like what?" God let the night end, I'm talking to a robotic fox.

There was a pause, and then, "We can be startin' with yer name."

Why did he want to know my name? I guess there won't be any harm in telling him, right?

"It's…Ali."

The conversation probably would have continued until a voice called, "Foxy! It's almost six!"

A girl, could only have been Chica. Foxy growled out what sounded like a curse before he got up to stand in his spot in the cove. He looked over his shoulder at me,

"Hope to see ye again tonight."

The he faced forward and didn't move again after that. It took me moment to get up and leave Pirate's Cove and I saw the others had gone back to the stage. I must be losing my mind. I still don't know if this really happened, can cleaning chemicals make you hallucinate?

Forget it, I'm out of here, I head home with the intentions of trying to sleep and just calling in sick for my next shift.


I hope this doesn't feel like it's moving slow for anyone. I'm trying to keep my characters reactions to everything realistic while still allowing for things to move forward. Lemme know if I'm doing it right.
