Fourth chapter is here. I found out about the copy and paste thing for inserting new chapters which I found way easier than constantly changing the format of Microsoft word to fit Fanfiction's requirements. Expect more frequent chapters, and as always, ENJOY. Also sorry this took a little longer and that it's not as long.
Chapter 3 Lost and Confused
The golden robot would've beheaded me if I didn't have that unusual swiftness. He flew right over me almost chipping my left ear off before landing with hardly any sound.
"You think you're the only normal being here." The menacing golden bear exclaimed.
My voice came back and I replied with that slick accent, "Well for the record, robots aren't supposed to just spontaneously start roaming around a children's pizzeria now are they?"
"Humph, you fool." The robot replied. "You think you know what's going on but yet you stand before your own murders without a single thought about why you are what you are nor how you came about to be in this state."
Come to think about it, I never had ever thought about why I just suddenly woke up to find myself a robot resembling an animal. It never seemed weird to me in this dark life I was currently in, but the golden bear had mentioned something about a murder. Something that happened that I didn't remember?
I must have been deep in thought because when I regained my senses, the golden bear was right on top of me, pinning me down with immense strength.
"This will be quick," he said "it won't hurt at all!"
He seemed to be satisfied in doing this, I had no chance at all of making it through this one. I closed my eyes and prepared for the worst.
The golden robot activated his blow torch and proceeded to incinerate my neck off until a loud crash was heard.
The bear flew off of me in alarm and slammed right into a blank wall with a poster on it.
I quickly got to my feet to see that the same purple bunny who wanted to kill me earlier saved my life, if this really was a life at all.
The golden robot just slumped in the corner as if knocked out, but can a robot really be knocked out? I was about to walk over to him to see if he was deactivated or not, but the bunny stopped me.
"We need to leave this room, NOW!" He said truly frightened. I wasn't going to take any chances, so I followed him out of the door.
I couldn't believe that the one who wanted me destroyed just saved my life. His ear was still broken to.
When we exited he slammed the door shut and peaked through the window. "What did you do in there?" He asked me. I told him about the strange recorder, and how the golden robot attacked me right after. The bunny just nodded his head and said, "Figures, we all were attacked by that thing, except Freddy said something about a purple dude or something and he had a knife not a blowtorch."
I remembered the questions I wanted to ask him, so I tried to sound as insufficient as possible. "So," I started. "What is this place?"
He turned and looked at me, "You can't be serious, you don't know where you are?" He answered sarcastically. "Well then, Welcome to Freddy's Pizzeria!" He said with arms spread out. I couldn't help but notice the change in his voice, like he used a recording just for that one sentence.
"They say this place is magical, but trust me... they haven't had the full experience."
I didn't know how a place like this would be magical, but I would find out later.
After that we just stood there, not moving at all until he broke the silence. "Also, we're not "robots". The correct term is "animatronics". There's a difference."
As he finished his sentence a bright like flickered on and off twice in the hallway. "What was that?" I asked.
"I never actually figured it out." He responded. "But don't think I haven't forgotten about earlier." His tone changed drastically and I took a step back while looking at his missing ear.
"But don't worry I forgave you for that!" He said in a happy tone. But there is one thing you can help me with...
We both walked down the hallway until we noticed the light again. I looked up and saw a security camera hanging from the corner of the wall.
I watched as he walked up to it and stared right at the lens. "I don't think that's how they work." I said sarcastically. "
"Well maybe if I look hard enough, I can see through it." He responded.
I watched the purple rabbit stare and stare and stare at the security camera until I was afraid he froze in place. I reached up to shake him, but before I got close enough a bright light exploded from the camera and he stumbled back in surprise while knocking the camera out of place as he fell.
"AHH!" He screamed, clutching his eyes. I didn't know what to do, so I
walked slowly up to him and asked if he was okay.
"Dang!" He responded while repeatedly blinking his eyes. "Well I guess staring at cameras isn't the best thing to do." I said enthusiastically. He got up and scolded at me with a menacing look. I turned my head away and noticed a wire stretching down the hallway into darkness.
"Hey, look at that." I told him and he looked down the hallway. "What?" He asked. "Are the doors open?"
I gave him a confused look and sure enough, I heard a screeching slam down the hall that echoed through the building. I looked back at him and he motioned for me to get down. I crouched next to him and then he waved for me to follow him.
We proceeded down the hall until we reached two metal doors slammed shut.
"Dang!" He whispered to me with frustration. "That endoskeleton in there keeps closing the doors on us!" I had no idea what he was talking about, but when in peeked through the small window sure enough there was a guy sitting at a desk with some sort of electronic tablet. Funny though, I could have swore that rabbit said endoskeleton.
He tapped at the tablets screen at a fast pace as if his life depended on it. Then he looked up from and stared right at me. His skin had a odd paleness as if he just saw something he wasn't suppose to see and his face was soaked in sweat that I can tell you wasn't from heat.
He clicked a button to his side and a bright light shot me right in my eyes. I stumbled backwards. Even when I closed my eyes the bright light still filled my vision.
The purple bunny dragged me down the hallway until we were clear of the light. "Well my strategy isn't working, got any ideas?" He asked me.
I inspected the hallway carefully until i saw some banged up looking posters spread over the wall. The posters had the animatronics in a close up view with captions like "Let's eat!" and "Party Time!" below them. They honestly looked like the pictures were taken in a dark alleyway.
I looked past the posters and saw a small metal box attached to the wall by the door. "Why are we trying to get in here in the first place?" I asked the purple rabbit in a whisper.
"The other piece." He responded while still continuing to stare through the window. I had no idea what he meant by that so I examined the box closer.
The words BRIGADE 500 were written in small red letters along the top of the box. I had strange sense of déjà vu while viewing it. Like I had looked at this before.
I decided that the box might have been a power box that activated the door since a wire extended towards the top of the door and into the room.
If I could change the flow of electricity from this box to the door, then maybe the guy in there wouldn't be able to close it.
I still had no clue why the animatronic wanted to get in here so badly, but I still opened up the box just to find yet another box inside of that one. This box was smaller and to make matters worst it was attached to to the walls with screws.
I sighed with frustration and looked around for anything that resembled a Philips head.
I looked back at the purple bunny and tell me why a orange and black screwdriver was lodged in his back. I was going to ask him why he hadn't noticed a screw driver was struck in his back, but he was still contently staring through the window into the office.
"What's this guys problem?" I asked myself in my head.
I carefully grabbed the screwdriver to make sure he wouldn't get spooked. I quickly yanked it out of his back and to my surprise he didn't move. I mean, he literally didn't move, not even a blink or a flinch followed.
I shook my head and went back to the box, still in a crouched position. I tried to unscrew the box to reveal the inside compartments, but as I pushed the screwdriver in I noticed that it wasn't a Phillips head. The head was a Slotted head not a Phillips head.
"Dammit!" I whispered to my self. I looked back at the top of the box and saw the two wires entering through into the walls. Then I realized what I should've done instead of this. I flipped the screwdriver so it's head was facing up and with one clean swipe, the wires burst open with a few sparks.
The door slid upward and me and the purple rabbit peeked in with just the tips of our ears sticking out. The guard didn't even notice. He was pacing around the room with a wireless phone talking to someone.
"I'm telling you!" He yelled through the phone. "This is my fourth night here! I'm still having the same problems with the animatronics and your not keeping your word on looking in to it!" He screamed over the telephone, then another voice spoke, he was a bit calmer than the security guard here.
"Sir I'm going to need you to calm down, everything will be fine. You've made it this far and you seem to be pretty good at this. Just survive-... I mean, erm, work the next night and will have a discussion with the boss over the weekend. Also, you might want to keep an eye on the new character that was shipped in yesterday. We haven't exactly figured him out yet but you should have no trouble since he was from a different company."
"Over the weekend?!" The guard sounded angry now. "What about tomorrow morning, or right now?! Listen! These things are corrupted and you think it's good to send ANOTHER ONE?! Don't expect me working tomorrow until you fix them!" He hung up with that and mumbled something about a company before turning and looking directly at us.
He jumped backwards and pushed a button on the side of his desk. The door didn't close so I guessed that I did it right. He pressed the button again, and again, and again with no luck of the door closing. I didn't know what to do so I just stood up straight right in front of the door and the guard just completely lost it. He dove in the back corner of his room screaming and kicking.
I gave the purple rabbit a confused look and he just stood up and walked towards a drawer behind the desk. He opened it while paying no attention to the guy screaming over in the corner. The rabbit dug around inside of the drawer until pulling out a whole head that resembled himself except it had a fixed ear and looked newer.
He inspected it like this was a normal situation and then looked up at me and said; "So, what should we do with it?" He asked me like I was used to these things. "Um... we could leave him alone? I mean he's obviously terrified of us right now. We should leave him be."
"But the people don't like it when they find endoskeletons lying around everywhere. Especially not the children. We should bring it to the storage room." He responded.
"He's not a endoskeleton or what ever you want to call it. He's a human! Why can't you see that?!
Just look at him closely and focus.
The rabbit looked at the security guard carefully. The security guard was now shivering in the corner with his head in his knees. He just kept staring until his eyes widened to their full capacity and he looked at me with a "well I screwed up" look on his face.
"Well!" He exclaimed with a nervous tone in his voice. "I think I'll just be going to replace my head!" And with that he sprinted out of the room.
"What was that all about?" I asked myself looking back and forth down the hallways. All I heard was the heavy footsteps of that purple rabbit running back towards the storage room.
I turned back into the room just to see a the guard leaning in the corner now staring at me with a scared but curious look in his eyes.
"You're not going to eat me, are you?" The guy asked me.
"What? No. Why would I? I responded to his weird question.
"Well," he started while still staring at me. "You corrupted robots are responsible for the disappearances of several people over the years and all of them have seemed to be working the night shift at this same place!"
I answered him back. "Well if you know so much then why work here?"
I tried to sound as calm as possible to prevent him from freaking out again, but he wasn't helping.
"You things are killing people left and right! From kids in 87 and guards working in the night shifts! And now I'm next!"
He started breathing real heavy and then for some reason I had a thought that has seemed to be throbbing at the back of my begging for me to pay attention to it. I couldn't take it any more and for some reason I yelled; " Did you check the puppet box?!
He looked at me real slowly with a panicked look on his face and I felt something above me move.
I looked up... and there was a white masked puppet.
