CHAPTER 11
Dimitri POV
I looked around me, It was dark and I couldn't tell where I was. I heard a strange noise come from somewhere in front of me. It sounded like heavy... No. Make that very heavy footsteps. I felt my heart beating so fast that I was surprised I wasn't suffering a heart attack. I started to step backwards. I screamed as I tripped over something on the floor. I crashed on the ground hard. It was a limp figure. My heart raced faster and faster as I neared the figure. I finally got close enough to flip it's face over. My heart stopped.( long pause for terrifying and dramatic effect). It was... My brother. I got up and ran as fast as I could. Away from his body. Away from this place. I kept running for what seemed like forever. Finally I could run no more. I collapsed on the ground and looked up at the stars. They looked so pretty. I stayed there for a long time before I heard a noise. Heavy footsteps. I started to get up. But before I did I saw the face of my brother's killer. He rushed at me and screeched so loudly.
AHH! I sat up. I felt my pulse. It was going at over 180. "It was just a dream" I told myself. Just a dream. Just a dream. I looked around. I was in my safe house. I got up and walked over to a small door. A small closet remade into an insulated storage area. I pulled out some bottled water and downed it in a few swigs. Not enough to calm me. I reached further into the closet and found a small bottle. Cheap drink, but it would do. I poured it into a glass and walked back to my bed. I drank half of it and set the rest on a small table beside the bed. I felt a wave of drowsiness wash over me. Soon the pizzeria would be no more. Soon the guard would pay. I laid back down and slowly drifted off to sleep.
Zach POV
I woke up with a idea. I followed my schedule and walked out of my room to find that the animatronics were... Nowhere to be found. I checked the kitchen, each of their rooms, my room, the bathrooms, the garage, the attic. I started to get panicky. Wait. One place I haven't checked yet. The basement. I rushed downstairs to find the animatronics were looking at something, I couldn't see what though." Don't ever scare me like that again!" I said to them. They didn't respond. "Something is wrong here" I thought. I pulled out my knife and slowly approached them. Once I got to them they seemed to notice me and break out of their trance. I sheathed my knife. Suddenly Freddy asked me" what are those?" He pointed to the suits I was making. Wait... Oh crap. " well, it's kinda hard to explain but..." I started to answer" I was sort of making... Um.. Battle suits for each of you in case the pizzeria gets attacked by someone with better henchmen then the last invader.. Um, they are almost finished" I waited to hear their response. It took them a minute but finally Freddy said " please just tell us next time, it's fine that you are looking out for us but please tell us when you do these things, ok" I nodded. "Good" he said and then walked up the stairs. Disaster avoided. The others followed him. I followed and asked them " do you all want to see one of the greatest science fiction shows ever" I saw them perk up and nod. I walked back downstairs and set up a DVD player. They all sat down around the TV and watched me set it up. I put in the movie and walked to my lab to start my work. As I started my work I heard the theme playing
Take my love
Take my land
Take me where I cannot stand.
I don't care
I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me.
Take me out to the black
Tell em I ain't comin' back.
Burn the land
And boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me.
There's no place I can't be
Since I found Serenity.
But you can't take the sky from me.
I remember how good that show was. Before it was cancelled. Anyway time for me to work. I started on the suits. It would still be awhile before they were finished but I was making progress. They looked pretty cool, if I say so myself. Each of them were bulletproof and could protect their user from bladed or blunt weapons. They didn't have any weapons of their own though. I would add those later. For now I would focus on creating a helmet or face shield. It took a few hours digging around in my lab to find enough of the right materials to create a mask. Hm that is a pretty low amount. I guess I should get more materials later. " why are you creating these" I heard from behind me. It was Goldie, who wasn't with the animatronics earlier. "I am creating customized battle suits in case our Russian friends decide to visit us again. If they bring enough people I wouldn't be able to defend you guys or the pizzeria" I replied. He seemed to be satisfied with my answer so he left. I got back to work and finished the mask before dark. I decided to give it to Bonnie's suit. I put it next to his suit and walked back up the stairs. No VR training today. I passed Bonnie who was asleep from watching the show. It was simply cycling through the title now, as it had been over for awhile. I walked on and found Chica making dinner. I walked over to a computer and Ordered a new shipment of raw materials. I shut it off and found Freddy and Goldie debating something. Foxy was trying to play solitaire, but couldn't seem to find any good plays. Chica called us all to eat and we all showed up. Well all of us, that is , except for Bonnie. I walked downstairs to go get him. But he wasn't asleep by the tv. The lights were off and I couldn't see him. I cautiously moved to the wall. I closed my eyes and pulled up the security feed from a few minutes ago. I saw Bonnie sleeping but suddenly...There was only static in place of where the feed should've been. Then I pulled the current feed up. It was black. I tried the night mode. Still black. A creeping sense of dread crept up on me. I heard a door close. I quickly unsheathed my knife and called out to the animatronics. A singsong voice answered me " they can't hear you."
To to all my maniacs. Thank you for reading my story. I never thought that in eleven days I would have over 1,200 views. Who got the theme reference? Let me know in the reviews. Also if anyone would be willing to draw Zach for a cover art please PM me and I will give you all the details I can. I would really like to have better art than my current wreck I have as a cover. Until next time my maniacs
