Here's chapter two. Please tell me what you think. I do not own FNAF!
"Now you know what to do, right Michelle?" Mr. Fred, the owner of Freddy's asked.
"Yes sir!" I replied enthusiastically.
"Good. Now, don't forget to check the front and back doors every once in a while," he added. "Make sure all the equipment is in its proper place, and don't use too much electricity. You only have a limited supply due to budget cuts. If the power goes out, the doors and lighting goes out until morning. If that happens, make security rounds of the building every 30 minutes with that flashlight." He pointed to the large yellow flashlight sitting on the desk. "Remember, you need to work here for at least five nights before I can let you buy this place. Good night Ms. Schmidt. I'll see you at 6 am."
He then moved to leave the building. Before he reached the door, he turned around to face me. "And one more thing. Be careful. Many of the previous night guards quit this job, and they all tell me the same ridiculous story. The animals came to life and tried to attack them. Not that I believe any of that nonsense." With that, he left.
'What did he mean by that?' I wondered, but shrugged my shoulders and gave it no other thought.
After a few minutes of working on homework, I got up and made one of the rounds, checking to make sure that the doors were secure and no one got in. Nodding in approval, I made my way back to the Office. When I got there, something didn't feel right, but nothing was out of place. The electronics were still there, my drink was still unopened and untouched, and the crumpled papers from my failed attempts at the homework assignment were still all over the place.
"O-kay," I said to myself as the feeling soon left, and I just shrugged it off. Suddenly, the phone rang, making my heart jerk in my chest. I took a deep breath and put a hand on my chest, trying to calm my racing heart then picked up the phone.
"Hello?" I asked, wondering who would be calling me at this hour.
There was a long moment of silence, and then a male voice cut through.
"Hello. Ehh, I wanted to leave a message for you to help you get settled down on your first night, but actually talking to you will be better. Uhm I actually worked at that office before you. I am finishing up my last week now as of matter of fact so I know it can be overwhelming but I am here to tell you that there is nothing to worry about. You'll do fine."
"Okay?" I responded, not sure what to think.
"So let's just focus on getting you through the first night. Okay let's see. Uhm first there is an introductory reading for the company that I am supposed to read. It's kinda a legal thing you know. Uhm welcome to Freddy Fazbear's pizza, a magical place for kids and grownups alike, where fantasy and fun come to life, Fazbear's entertainment are not responsible for damage, property, or person on discovering of damage or death has occurred. A missing person report will be made within 90 days and the death of a person will be cleaned with bleach and the carpets will be cleaned blah blah blah."
"Um, what?" I asked, now concerned.
"Now that might sound bad I know, but there is nothing to worry about. The animatronic puppets become quirky at night but do I blame them? No! If I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for 20 years and never got a bath I probably would be irritable at night to. So remember these characters hold a special place in the hearts of children and show them a little respect right?"
"Uh…yeah, right."
"Ok so just be aware that the characters tend to wander a bit. Uhm they have some sort of free roaming mode at night. Uhm, something about their servers locking up or they get turned off for too long. Uhm they used to be allowed to walk around during the day to but then there was the bite of 1987. Yeah it's amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe ya know."
"Yeah. I heard about that."
"Now concerning the only real safety during the night watch, if any, is the fact that these characters if they happen to see you after hours probably won't recognize you as a person. They'll most likely see you as a metal indo skeleton without its costume on. Now since that is against the rules of Freddy Fazbear's pizza they'll probably forcefully stuff you inside a Freddy Fazbear suit. Uhm well that wouldn't be so bad if the suit themselves weren't filled with crossbeams, wires, and animatronic devices especially around the facial area. So you can imagine having your head being pressed inside those would cause a bit of discomfort and death."
I gulped.
"The only parts that will see the light of day will be your eyeballs and teeth that will pop out of the mask. Yeah they don't tell you these things when you sign up, but hey, see you first thing tomorrow. Uhm check those cameras and remember to close those doors only if they are absolutely necessary. Got to conserve power. Alright good night."
"Good night," I said softly, very concerned at this point.
I had no idea what happened here after dark. Was that warning Mr. Fred gave me from the other guards real? It sure seemed like it now.
Carefully, I checked the security screen and flipped through all the cameras.
First was the Show Stage, which seemed to be fine except for how creepy the puppets looked in the dark. I involuntarily shivered and continued flipping through the cameras.
Next was the Dining Area. Nothing unusual there. Just a bunch of tables lined with chairs and party hats.
Next was the Pirate Cove, where Foxy could be found. He was peeking out behind the curtain at the camera. 'Wasn't the curtain completely closed when I passed by it? I thought it was. I must have imagined it.' I just shrugged.
Next came the West Hall. Nothing there.
Then came the Supply Closet, which was completely empty.
The East Hall was the same as the West Hall, completely empty except for a few newspaper clippings.
Then came the Backstage. That was creepier than the Show Stage, with all the parts for the puppets hanging on racks and on the walls. Another involuntary shiver wracked my body.
For the Kitchen, the camera was disabled, but I heard nothing from the audio that signified anything out of the ordinary was happening there.
Last was the hall by the Restrooms, where nothing could be seen that would signify anything unusual happening.
Satisfied with that, I leaned back in my chair. The puppets wouldn't come into this room, would they? I hoped not. I looked at my watch to see that it was midnight.
I suddenly had a very bad feeling and went to check the security screen again. The first camera was the Show Stage again, but something was wrong. Bonnie and Chica weren't there! I flipped to the next camera, which was the Dining Room, and there Bonnie was, up close to the camera. My breath hitched and I didn't dare scream. If I did, it would give away my position, that is, if they didn't already know where I was.
I soon heard footsteps in one of the halls next to me, I didn't know which one. I quickly slammed my hands on the buttons for both doors, not risking making the mistake of closing the wrong door. Checking the East and West Halls, I saw Chica slowly walking down the East Hall and pausing at the corner under CAM 4B. She looked up straight into the camera, and then walked away.
I couldn't bear to look at the screen anymore as a sick feeling overcame me. 'They were right!' I thought. 'They all were right! The previous night guards, the guy on the phone… Oh, God!'
I took a deep breath to avoid having a panic attack. They wouldn't hurt me as long as I stayed at my post, right?
There wasn't much activity as the night progressed, and soon my shift was over.
