Fazbear's Fright: The Horror Attraction!
Chapter 3
I sat in my chair, waiting for my phone to ring. However, when it did, Jake wasn't talking, Amber's dad was. "Okay Phone Guy, what's new?" I actually never knew Amber's dad's name, so I always called him Phone Guy because he always said "hello hello" when he greeted people. It always seemed to annoy him and he'd always say I was just like my dad.
"Uh, hello hello! Uh…for today's lesson, we will be continuing our training on proper suit-handling techniques. When using an animatronic as a suit, please ensure that the animatronic parts are tightly compressed and fastened by the spring-locks located around the inside of the suit," he said.
I flipped though the cameras and played audio in the rooms farthest from me to keep Springtrap away. It kept him away from me for the first few hours and he wasn't giving me too many problems.
"It may take a few moments to position your head and torso between these parts in a manner where you can move and speak. Try not to nudge or press against any of the spring-locks inside the suit. Do not touch the spring-locks at any time. Do not breathe on the spring locks, as any moisture may loosen then and cause them to break loose."
I wonder why it's such a big deal to keep these spring-locks untouched, I thought.
"In the case of the spring-locks come loose while you are wearing the suit, please try to maneuver away from populated areas before bleeding out, as to not ruin the customers' experience."
OH, I blinked.
The next thing he said really got my attention. As always, if there is ever an emergency, please go to the designated safe room. Every location is built with one extra room that is not included in the digital map layout programmed in the animatronics or security cameras."
Every location is built with one extra room that is not included in the digital map layout programmed in the animatronics or security cameras, those words rang through my mind. That's why Freddy and Bonnie couldn't enter that room! It wasn't programmed in their digital maps, so they didn't know it was there! But wait…what about that Shadow Freddy? Why could he go in? Isn't he an animatronic, too?
"This room is hidden to customers, invisible to animatonics, and is always off-camera. As always, remember to smile. You are the face of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza," and with that, the call ended.
"Whelp, that's why there's a rotting corpse inside of Springtrap," I determined. I looked at Cam 09, where I saw a glowing white eye staring back at me. "Oh, hey buddy. I was just talking about you."
Static enveloped the screen and when I could see the camera again, he was gone. I switched to Cam 08 and saw him just…standing there. "Hello, again," I smirked, as if he could hear me. I switched to Cam 09 and played audio, but he never followed Balloon Boy's voice. He ignored it and moved closer to me.
I pulled my screen down when I heard the sound of beeping and saw flashing red lights, alerting me that one of my systems went offline. "Now is not the time," I grumbled, moving to my left to reboot the ventilation. "I don't wanna start seeing things again."
When I went back to check the cameras, I was stopped by figure walking down the hall. "F-Freddy?" I stuttered. He ducked away and when I turned, he jumped in my face and screamed. "EVERYONE NEEDS TO CALM THE FUCK DOWN!"
My systems went down again and I turned to fix them. Once I rebooted the audio, I pulled down my screen, only to see the face of Springfuck peeking at me from my doorway. The smell of death made its way to my nose again and I covered it. "Can you put on some deodorant or something? You smell bad," I grumbled. "Hey, I know there's someone in there! Can you hear me?"
I heard that voice again. "H…p…m…" it mumbled.
"Did you say that? You really need to speak up!" I said, "Can you repeat that?"
"H..l…p…m…" he groaned, still extremely muffled, but a bit more clear.
"What was that? H...l…p…m…?" I mimicked.
H…l…p…m…? Is he trying to say "Help me?" I wondered.
My phone alarm when off and the sound of a clock followed by the cheering of children filled my ears. "Well, see you tomorrow, Springfuck," I said as he disappeared. I guess knowing that there's a human soul in there makes him a bit less scary. If he was just cold, lifeless machine with no emotions, then I'd probably be terrified, but there's someone in there.
I drove home and sat in my computer chair, just waiting for the email to arrive. When it did, I immediately opened it and started up the mini game.
This time, I was Chica, who was standing on stage holding her cupcake. I'd already replayed the mini games and memorized the layout of the whole place. I'd also found a few things I hadn't found before, like in the first mini game, there were panels in the right wall of west hallway along with "bbdblclick" on the opposite wall. In the second mini game, there were four grey cupcakes in the walls of the west hallway.
When I went down the west hallway in this mini game, there were the numbers "395248" in the right wall. I jotted down those numbers on a sticky note and followed the Shadow Freddy to the safe room. Then remains of Freddy and Bonnie covered the ground. I walked up to the safe room, only to be greeted with the same red "ERROR" text. I moved away from the room and was dismembered by the mysterious purple man, again.
I began to think about all of the information I had gathered. So…how did that guy get inside the Springtrap suit? Only employees are supposed to wear them, right? So that means the guy inside of Springtrap is an employee. And that purple guy…he knew about the safe room, seeing as how he came out of there, and customers aren't supposed to know about the safe room, so he must be an employee, too. Who the hell are these guys? Or guy…maybe they're the same person. Well, I'll find out eventually.
I started to look into the five missing children case. I remember hearing something about the children being led into a back room by a mascot of Freddy's Pizzeria. That "back room" was likely the safe room, so the murderer was probably an employee.
I found an article that describes the suit the murderer was wearing. It stated that the killer used a golden suit, but there was nothing else about it. That leaves two likely candidates for the identity of this suit: Golden Freddy and the Springtrap suit. I remember Dad showing me pictures of Golden Freddy. If I remember correctly…the Golden Freddy suit only had four fingers had an endoskeleton, so it wasn't a suit meant to wear. That means the suit used was probably the Springtrap suit. According to Phone Guy, employees had to know how to use the suits properly, so it was definitely an employee at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
"So I have three people…the guy in the Springtrap suit, the mysterious purple guy, and the killer. What do they have in common? They were all employees at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza," I said to myself. I documented all of my finds and put them into a manila folder.
I called Amber again. "Hello hello?" she said.
"I have more information. Meet me at the mall at 11:00P.M. again, okay?" I asked.
"Alright. I don't think Jake will mind if I leave early again."
"Who cares if he did? This is much more important than those relics!"
"Yeah, yeah…I'll see you then. Just get some sleep!"
"I will. Bye."
"Bye bye."
The call ended and I laid down in my bed. I checked the time on my phone. It was 10:00A.M. I smiled when my eyes trailed to the screensaver of Dad and I when I was little. Then I frowned when I looked closer. Dad's eyes are terrifyingly similar to Springtrap's eye…I mean, it would explain why his eyes looked so familiar…but that would mean…NO! THERE'S NO WAY! THAT MAKES NO SENSE! I thought.
I pushed that thought into the back of my head, hoping I would never think it again. "Ugh. I'll just go to sleep," I muttered to myself.
I got up later, showered, got into my uniform, and made my way to the mall. I met Amber at the same fast-food restaurant as last time and we got a table. I shoved the manila folder into her hands as I sipped my drink, chewing the tip of the straw. "Read it."
Amber nodded and looked through the papers, reading them carefully. "Okay, so what you're trying to say is that the guy inside of Springtrap, the purple guy, and the killer are all the same person?" she blinked.
"No! I'm just saying that there's a possibility that they might be!"
"Well, if they are, he certainly got what he deserved," she smirked. "That must be pretty painful."
"No kidding. Did you borrow those training cassettes yet?" I asked.
"Only the first three."
"Yeah, those are the only ones I heard, too. I'm gonna hear another one when I get the office, I'm sure."
"My dad…he sounds so different in those tapes…He just didn't sound…right. He didn't have much emotion in his voice. I only remember him sounding awkward and oddly calm, but never emotionless…It was like he was reading a script for the first time and didn't know what emotion to use while saying the lines, so he just didn't use any emotion at all…"
"Yeah…"
After a long silence, Amber finally said, "Do you wanna head back to Fazbear's Fright with me?"
"Sure, I've got nothing better to do. I might get some brownie points with Jake if I get there early, anyways."
We drove separately and arrived a half an hour early. When we entered, I was immediately greeted was immediately greeted by the face of Springtrap. Amber jumped in shock, but I just poked his nose.
"Don't worry. He doesn't like moving during the day. He also won't move when someone is looking at him," I smiled. "Hello, Springfuck. I see you haven't fixed that rotting odor problem."
"How are you not freaked out by him? He's a decomposing corpse in a broken down animatronic suit!"
"Well Amber, when you have this jackass trying to kill you all night, you develop a tolerance to him. Like, I no longer get nauseous when I get a whiff of that scent of his. His eyes are still freaky, though." I looked into his eyes and got shivers down my spine. They were still hauntingly familiar.
"Ugh, I can't even take this anymore. I'm gonna get out of here. Good luck," she said quietly, sickened by the sight and smell Springtrap.
"Thanks. See you later," I smiled, not taking my eyes away from Springtrap. I heard the sound of the door closing behind me as Amber left. "So, who's in there? Is it the killer? Is it the purple guy? Is it…?" I stopped myself from mentioning Dad. "No, you can't be…Well, I'll see you at 12:00A.M."
I walked to my office, but not before poking Springtrap nose again. I settled down in my chair and practiced clicking on the cameras quickly, switching to my reboot screen and rebooting systems, toggling the map, sealing vents, and playing audio. My phone started ringing, and I prepared my brain for the information I was going to receive.
"Uh hello? Hello hello! Uh, there's been a slight change of company policy concerning use of the suits. Um…don't. After learning of an unfortunate incident at a sister location involving multiple and simultaneous spring-lock failures, the company has deemed the suits temporarily unfit for employees," Phone Guy started.
"Oh wow…" I blinked, my wide eyes trying to keep track of where Springtrap was while still comprehending the information that was being given to me.
"Safety is our top priority at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, which is why the classic suits are being retired to an appropriate location, while being looked at by our technician."
'Safety is our top priority at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.' What a fucking joke! I thought, remembering all of the horrible incidents that occurred at that pizzeria chain.
"Until replacements arrive, you'll be expected to wear the temporary costumes provided to you. Keep in mind that they were found on very short notice, so questions about appropriateness/relevance should be deflected. I repeat, the classic suits are not to be touched, activated, or worn. That being said, we are free of liability, do as you wish. As always, remember to smile. You are the face of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza," Phone Guy finished this statement, and the call ended.
"Well, that didn't help…" I sighed. "All I know now is how dangerous those suits were."
That pizzeria chain…I guess it was always pretty shady. I mean, when people went missing, which happened pretty frequently, they stopped trying to fix the problem after a while and they just tried covering it up, I thought. It's not that surprising that they'd risk the life of employees by making them wear those suits. I guess they're more like bear traps than suits…maybe that's why Jake called him "Springtrap…"because of the spring-locks and it's resemblance to a bear trap.
I realized I was becoming too lost in thought and I needed to pay attention to that zombie-like bunny rabbit that was trying to kill me. "Fuck, where did he go?" I spastically switched cameras in an attempt to find him. I ran into Balloon Boy's face a few times, but I learned that just quickly switching cameras will make him go away. When I switched to Cam 08, though, I was faced with a hallucination I didn't know how to handle yet…the Marionette.
All I heard was loud noises and screeching. The face of the Marionette blocked my vision, and it moved every time I turned my head, making it impossible to see anything. My dimmed vision didn't help, either. "GO AWAY! GO AWAY!" I yelled.
His glowing white eyes, which resembled Springtrap's, stared right into mine as he stood centimeters from my face. I covered my ears in an attempt to block out the blaring mechanical screeching, but it was no use. It was like it was inside my head, so covering my ears did absolutely nothing.
Once he finally went away, I rebooted my ventilation, which had gone offline after the Marionette had left. After that, I looked for the whereabouts of Springtrap, who was not present in any of the cameras. Then I heard banging in the vents. I quickly toggled the map and saw that he was on Cam 15. I sealed the vent before he could get any closer to me. I sighed in relief when the little green bar turned red before Springtrap could move.
I played Balloon Boy's voice in Cam 04, and a "hello" rang through the building. I continued checking the cameras until I stopped on Cam 04, where a familiar dangling animatronic was staring at me with the same haunting eyes as all of the others.
"Mangle?" I blinked. When I pulled my screen away, an extremely loud sound that sounded like a mash up of static and a broken radio blasted inside my head. "OW! WHY DOES EVERYTHING IN THIS DANM PLACE WANT ME TO GO DEAF?!"
I forced myself to bear with the noise and reboot my ventilation and audio devices. When I finished rebooting them and the static-like broken radio sound stopped, I checked outside of my office. "Phew!" I sighed in relief, not seeing that decomposing bunny anywhere. I continued my routine on flipping through the cameras, locating Springtrap, rebooting my systems, and sealing vents until my phone alarm went off. "Finally!"
I walked down the hallways of the fright attraction, looking for Springtrap. He was right at the door again, where he was when I arrived. I stared at him taking a good look at his animatronic body. I noticed that the things that I believed to wires were actually organs. "Ugh…those spring-locks certainly got you good, didn't they?" I smirked.
Well, I guess I should see if it's true…I decided, pulling my phone out from my pocket and looked at the screensaver of Dad and I. I compared Springtrap's eyes to Dad's eyes, and sure enough, they were identical.
"No…there's no way!" I chuckled, trying to ignore the proof. "You can't be in there, Dad! That doesn't make any sense! There's probably a million people with your eyes out there!"
I left the fright attraction quickly and drove home. He can't be in there! If he was, there would be the possibility that he killed those children and he could also be the purple guy and…well…Dad would never do that! He was always such a nice guy…to me, at least…He was also out pretty late on the night of the children's disappearances…NO! Why am I thinking about this?
I was only making myself angrier and angrier. When I arrived at my apartment, I sat in my computer chair, awaiting my usual email. As always, it arrived and I immediately opened it.
In this mini game, I was Foxy. Instead of starting at the stage area, I was at Pirate's Cove. I moved down to the west hallway to see if there was anything hidden in the walls. Inside the left wall, there was a creepy, pitch black version of Bonnie. The only parts of him that were visible were his eyes and teeth, which were white. I continued to follow the Shadow Freddy until I was lead to the safe room. The disassembled remains of Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica covered the floor. I tried to enter the safe room, but I was greeted with the same red text saying "ERROR" and I was attack by the purple man, again.
After playing the mini game, I didn't even feel like doing any research. I just went to sleep. I didn't want to think about that pizzeria chain anymore. I didn't want to think about Springtrap or the guy inside of it. I didn't want to think about anything.
And that's it! Chapter 4 will be out tomorrow, as always. Thank you for reading!
