The fifth chapter has arrived. Learn about our friend here's back story. Gonna get some information to day.

June 13, 2008

A bright light filled my eyes as I walked into the party room of the new and improved Freddy Fazbears Pizzeria filled with kids. I was accompanied by my new boss as this was my new job. I wasn't expecting it to be my last, but I didn't know that yet. I was looking for quick cash and this was close enough.

"You'll be working the day shift here m'boy!" My boss explained to me in a eager tone. "Your job is simple, just watch the kids from a distance and make sure they don't get out of hand. Also, keep an eye on any of them who go near Pirates Cove." He pointed to the far corner of the room where two curtains hung from the ceiling closed.

I probably was just imagining it, but I could've sworn I saw a pair of eyes shine from the small opening in between the curtains. I decided to just let it go.

"Also here I need you to sign this." He told me while handing a form with a blue badge on it.

"This form says that if you just happen to di-... I mean get "injured", no charges will be pressed against us." I looked at the form carefully. It was a devious looking form but I knew that if I didn't sign it I wouldn't get the job.

I quickly printed my name out just as fast as I did with pay checks I earned at my old job as a mechanic. It wasn't that much, but it gave me my needs.

He took it from me as soon as I put down my signature.

"Now that that's out of the way, here is your uniform and a layout of the whole building."

If you are wondering, this building is HUGE. It's like a third of the size of a amusement park with over 20 hallways and almost 150 rooms. Plus on top of all that, the building has an attic, and the attic is so big it could be classified as a small house.

I thought it was pretty impressive but later that week it would just be another weakness.

I kept skimming over the map but it was like trying to find every single fire escape in a school schematic.

I looked up as my boss handed me a flashlight, a taser, and a bullet proof vest that had been remodeled to match the pizzerias logo. Man these businesses make a lot of money.

"If you hadn't noticed already, there are multiple party rooms with maintenance and equipment rooms on either sides. Each hallway has about four to five cameras in it and you can access them from here."

He handed me a electronic tablet with dozens of access points on it.

"You probably won't have to use it anyway." My boss said. "The night guard probably would use it the most."

"So," I started. "Are there any other security guards?"

"Well, there are 13 other guards who work the day shift and only one who works the night. My boss replied.

"Why is there only one guard who works at night? It's not like anyone would want to break into a children's pizzeria."

"Oh it's not the burglars the night guard would have to worry about..."

I looked at him, puzzled, until he finally said;"You know what? I'll show you around so you can get used to your workspace."

He gestured for me to follow him and I took one last look at the area and saw nothing but screaming kids and jittery moving robot animals. There was a bear, a purple rabbit, and a duck. Nothing was unusual there was it? Well at least until the animatronics literally walked off the stage.

I quickly went after my boss.

I turned a brightly lit hallway to find him waiting for me right next to two metal doors. "Here's the security office. It contains cameras, lights, batteries, and all the bells and whistles of a modern security room."

My boss replied. He sounded like he had done this hundreds of times.

My boss pulled a remote out of his suit and pressed a button on it. The two metal doors slid open and a cluttered looking room with posters smashed against the walls and monitors skewed all over the desk.

The office looked like it had been sitting there since the 1980's.

"This is the security office, the doors can only be opened by this remote or by pressing the buttons on the walls or the buttons on this panel. You can't open them from the outside."

"Why can't you open them from the outside?" I replied.

"Well you see, the last establishments all had one thing in common, power. The power systems weren't exactly the best and they tended to just deactivate after a certain percentage was used. But since the new place is a great success, we can afford to pay electricity bill, so we can keep these doors shut as long as we want!"

He demonstrated this by opening and closing the doors with the buttons on the panels.

"So why do you need these doors in the first place?" I questioned him.

"Aren't you the one with all the questions." He replied. "If someone were to break in, they could literally get all the information about this place in here. So for the night guards safety and for our company's namesake, we keep these doors closed."

It didn't sound very reasonable to me, but later it would turn out to be a big lie.

My boss showed me the rest of the building and the second party room turned out to be a arcade. We looked through the last storage rooms filled with rows and shelves of empty suits for the animatronics. Spares I guessed.

We were heading back to the first party room when we turned a corner and ran right into the robot bear that I saw earlier on stage. It took me a second to process but I jumped back in surprise.

The bear sputtered and cranked and my boss just looked at me like I was crazy. "Why is he off stage?!" I asked my boss while startled. "Technology gets better every year doesn't it?" He replied.

I looked back at the robot bear who then said, "Hello there! I'm Freddy Fazbear and welcome to my pizzeria!" The bear exclaimed in a recorded voice.

I just stood there and stared at him in awe until the robot looked up and casually walked down the hallway with a few jitters and sputters.

"Don't worry, they don't bite." My boss told me. I looked back at him and asked, "Why the hell was he back here?!"

"They were programmed that way, there practically one of us now! Doesn't that show how far we've come?" I dwelled on that statement. I mean, the animatronics being able to walk around from room to room on their own seemed impressive, but something was still off about it. It seemed like it shouldn't be, like it was wrong.

"Remember!" My boss yelled down the hallway. "Payday is every Friday, so get those hours in!"

I shook my head and went to get dressed for my first job.

As I approached the restrooms I stepped right in front of the door and a guy in all purple barged right out of the door and sprinted right past me down the hall to the exit doors. I said all purple because he literally was dressed in ALL purple. He looked like he was wearing a purple jumpsuit with a purple mask to complete it.

It seemed like the kind of thing to report, but in my defense, there are animal like robots roaming around here on there own and no one bats an eye.

I proceeded into the bathroom.

I went to one of the stalls and changed. When I looked on the mirror, I looked really goofy. The vest/shirt I was wearing fit a little too tightly and the belt I was wearing was a bright purple shade. Even the taser I had was in color!

I walked out of the stall and noticed a classic purple phone that wasn't there before. I figured no one was looking, so I played around with it. I put the receiver up to my ear and started to carelessly spin the dial around. I entered a random nine-digit number and surprisingly it started to ring.

I curiously waited for the other line to answer, but then instead of a normal "Hello" I got a loud electronic screech.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEGGHNNNNMNNN..."

I threw the phone down in alarm and sprinted out the room.

I slammed the door shut and ran back to the party room.

The rest of the day was a breeze, most of the kids just stayed by the party tables and none of them went near the Pirates Cove. Basically the rest of the week went well.

I noticed something about the animatronics though. It seemed that as the days passed they started to function and move smoother. It was like they got adjusted throughout the week and started to move swifter.

I went through the week fine until Thursday. I was standing near the kitchen while watching the kids when my boss came up to me and said, "Hey there! Um, I know that you only work the day shift but I'll make an offer." I leaned in close to hear this offer of his.

"You see, the original night guard got sick yesterday and I was wondering if you could work both shifts. I will pay you double if you accept."

It seemed like a really good offer in my book. Even though I was completely unaware of the risks, I accepted his request quickly.

11:45pm

My boss walked me to the office I would be working in for the night. "Don't worry about the doors," my boss explained. "We have a lot more power now so you can keep them shut as long as you want. Also, the only thing you will have to do is keep winding the puppet box. He gets a little antsy if it stops."

Puppet box? I thought to my self as we entered the same small office he showed me on Monday. It looked even more flustered than the first time.

"You have to pay attention to this room only." He showed me a small storage room with a large box in the middle of it.

"Every minute or so, wind the box back up or you will be in for a nasty surprise." I didn't know what he meant by that so I asked, "What's the surprise?"

"Oh nothing much, the cameras might go out which isn't good since they are really expensive!"

"So it's just this room right?"

"Yes."

"Only here? Nowhere else?"

"Well you might want to check for robbers, but who would rob this place?"

I guessed no one would want to rob this place because when my boss left, it got three times darker. Even if you had a flash light you still would have trouble seeing.

Well long story short, the night went smoothly. I kept restarting the puppet box's music which I actually found slightly intoxicating. The doors were shut the whole time so I just kicked back and listened to music on my brand new IPhone 3. (They were new at the time)

5:40am

I was still wide awake and I kept rewinding the puppet box. But then I realized my boss didn't give me a specific time my job was over.

To tell you the truth I sort of panicked. I tried to call him on my iPhone but their was no signal at all.

Actually, there was a signal but the bars kept going up to three and then just disappearing completely. It did that over and over and over again until I gave up. I just sat there, waiting, on full alert.

5:59am

I was dozing off. A big mistake at this job. But luckily, it was three seconds until six.

DING, DANG, DING, DONG, YAAAAYYYYYY

I jumped up with a start, "WHAT THE HELL?!" I yelled, frantically looking around the room for the source of the noise.

"Calm down, calm down."

I threw my head around just to find my boss leaning against the wall, snickering.

Don't worry your shift is over." He told me. "You can get some rest, but come back at 5:00."

I just nodded and exited the building. I opened the door of my green Mitsubishi Lancer while taking one last look at the building. It looked a little smaller than it should have in the dark. I blinked a few times and the pizzeria looked normal.

5:13pm

I arrived a few minutes late to the pizzeria, but my boss didn't seem to care. In fact he looked almost happy that I came late. He was a weird guy.

I walked to the first party room where three birthdays were going on at the same time. The animatronics were frantically running around trying to entertain the children. Then I noticed one kid that was a little further away from the group. He was heading straight towards the Pirate's cove curtains.

"Hey kid!" I yelled towards the chubby little kid while speed walking towards him. He just giggled and ran in to the party tables. I probably should just stay here, I thought. But that was about to change.

As I was looking around the room, I felt something cold and metallic wrap around my shoulder. I shuddered and froze. The only thing moving was the neurons flowing from my shoulder to my brain.

I slowly swiveled my head a little to the right and out of my peripheral vision I saw another animatronic.

He resembled a fox with an eyepatch and a hook on his right hand. He looked straight at me with his one good eye and said, "Fer the sake of yee soul, don't come to work tonight."

He removed his hook from my shoulder and disappeared into the shadows behind the curtains. To this point I was officially speechless, and it wasn't because I was scared shit-less by the random encounter of the eight foot tall robot-pirate fox. But why didn't he want me to work the night shift?

Being the person I am, I thought he just didn't want me to earn my paycheck. But I was still worried. He mentioned something about my soul, but how would I die here? This seemed like the last place I would die.

11:55

I was sitting in my office. My boss warned me that the electricity in the building had a "loose wire" and he said that I should keep an eye on the cameras from now on. He also said that I should be on high alert when it the clock hit twelve. Whatever that meant.

The only thing bugging me was what that fox said. But I had a plan.

In the building schematic there was one room a little separate from the others. This room was unmarked but a shady night guard told me about a ladder to the roof just in case of a fire. My boss left the building early for some reason so this was perfect.

I was pretty confident that no one was going to break in, so I left the office with the doors open at 11:58 and walked towards the "safe room".

I entered the room and a foul smell stung my nose. It smelled like something died in there, or someone. The room itself was empty and there was literally nothing special. It was just a plain room with white and black tiles covering the floor.

I threw the thought aside and proceeded up the ladder to the roof. As I was climbing, the power went off. It got really dark and I had to pull my flashlight from my utility belt just to see.

I finally reached the top about a minute later. The building was bigger than I thought! The roof looked like any normal roof. A bunch of air conditioners plagued the roof making a heck of a noise. My plan was to just walk the perimeter of the roof and look for anything suspicious.

As I was walking, I noticed a light flickering from behind an air conditioning. Almost like fire.

I walked towards that odd AC vent and what I saw was the same purple guy from earlier sitting by a makeshift fire place with a golden animatronic suit next to him.

I just stared at the scene, unsure what to do. My boss didn't tell me how to deal with purple people sitting on rooftops!

I just calmly walked over and said "listen buddy you need to get off the roof or I'll arrest you!" Arrest him with what? A voice replied back to me in my head.

I guess I didn't really think that one through.

The purple guy didn't even flinch. He just kept staring at the fire flickering in front of him. I pulled my baton out and slowly walked towards him, but at the last minute he sprouted up and threw a knife at me! A fucking knife! It soared right past me almost grazing my ear off and I looked back and he was just standing there with another knife in hand.

His face was literally all purple, including his hair. He had silk white eyes and a menacing smile that glowed in the dark altogether. Also, plastered on his chest was a gold badge that looked exactly like mind. He just kept staring at me waiting for my next move.

Fortunately, I knew how to use a baton. I charged at him with my pink baton in hand and hit him right in the back of his knee. He must have been surprised because he stumbled downwards in a kneeling position and I smacked him twice in his neck.

He should've been paralyzed, but he just looked up at me with a mischievous look on his face. Without thinking, I whipped out my taser and he apparently had one to. We both struck each other at the same time and we both stumbled backwards and landed on the floor, completely flinching uncontrollably.

He recovered faster than me and got up with quick succession. I was still feeling a painful surge of electricity coursing through my veins. I looked at my right arm and saw that his taser was still lodged deep in my skin, sending wave after wave of electricity.

There goes my paycheck.

I was done for. I would either die from the stupid purple guy or the damned taser still clinging to my skin. I started to feel really dizzy and before I died, standing over me was the purple guy, and behind him was the golden suit.
