Chapter 2: The Guards of the Night

I slowly opened my eyes as i scanned my room in confusion wondering why am i up. My mom walks in and shuts the alarm off that was beeping unbeknownst to me.

"Ready for your first day sweetie" She asked as is at there confused as to what she mean by that, it soon it hit me like a train. The company that owned my fathers restaurant accepted my application as well as Sean, Daniel and Nicole apparently we were all guards at night and i had taken a nap before work, my phone read 11:09 pm.

"Well get up before your late, Nicole and Sean are already here" My mom walked down stairs. I sat down and just dreaded seeing those animatronics again...not because i was scared more so i was afraid it would bring back memories of when i was a kid helping my dad fix them. I grew up with them and even looking past there scary design i loved them, they make up a huge part of my childhood and...now with all that's happened its going to bring those thoughts back...but i promised id watch them so no turning back now.

"If they even as much as touch them or change anything i swear to god" I whispered to myself as i headed down stairs. I see Sean sitting at the table half asleep while Nicole is talking to my mom.

Sean looks at me and smirks." You look like you're about fall asleep standing up" I walk over and sit down and pat his back.

"Didn't get any sleep either?" He shakes his head.

"Yeah me neither" He rubs his eyes and inhales. I knew he didn't want to waste two weeks of his summer working at a pizza joint because i was going to, but Sean wasn't really the type to complain much so he usually kept to himself but he'll be the first to let you know if something goes wrong.

"Yeah man my mom woke me up like 6 minutes ago excited that i actually got a job like it was a surprise i got one" i snickered and ate my cereal while Nicole was talking to my mom about...i don't know but it had something to do with dogs, Sean definitely didn't know what they were talking about cause when Nicole looked for him to agree with her all he did was look up with a confused face which made me laugh.

"Alright guys we should get going" I got up and Nicole and my mom looked at me like i justed barged on their conversation

"Sorry to intrude on your conversation about...whatever it was you girls were talking about but...we have to be somewhere and i wanna make a good impression" Nicole and my mom put there plates away as Sean headed outside. Mom was driving us there, we were going to meet up with Daniel's mom there. I sat in the front while Nicole and Sean sat in the back. Now Sean and Nicole aren't exactly...well good friends, they're cool with each other and all but that's it. I was the only thing they had in common and Sean is usually with Daniel or me and Nicole is usually with me or...by herself which is almost rare nowadays. So when Sean and Nicole got into arguments there was no friendship barrier to stop certain words from being said, they went all out during arguments and had gotten into one yesterday so for me them being back there was like mixing water and oil. Mom began to drive us there, it was close by around a 10 minute drive so it wasn't going to be a long trip which is not what we need right now.

"You excited dude?" Sean said from the back seat rubbing his hands/

"Sean he's not doing this to fool around and have fun...this is personal to him" Nicole said glaring at him, Sean and Nicole are both hard heads and take shit from nobody so if one takes a shot at the other expect there to be a response until an outside force stops them.

"Never said i was going to fool around Nicole, jeez do you have some sorta crush for him cause like if i even mention his name you get all defensive like I'm gonna insult him or something" Nicole turn her head towards him. My mom looked at me and gave me a 'its about to go down' face. My mom has seen a couple of these arguments and probably would've stopped them if she was in a better emotional state, she's also hardheaded and before my sister passed was a fighter and even bet the shit out of my dad one time but ended up making his favorite for dinner that day...god i still remember those days like it just happened.

"Just because i defend him doesn't mean i like him and also you're not one to talk when it comes to liking, how are you and Jenny doing" I looked back in shock and covered my mouth. Sean had the biggest crush on jenny and when he went to confess his feelings she told him she was a lesbian and that she didn't like him before she turned into one.

"Son of a bitch; How things going between you and your ever shrinking ass!" Sean yelled back

"Why you looking at my butt you little creep when are you finally gonna grow!"

"When you quit staring Kalen like he's candy!"

"ENOUGH!" Nicole and Sean slowly looked at me while breathing heavily. I had some inner rage come out and completely take over, those insults got to me some how and some way...i thought it was my fault they got into this mess.

"Enough is enough...next time Nicole you sit in the front" They stared at me shocked...

"I'm sorry..." I turned around and looked ahead, i could hear Nicole punch Sean in the back

"Kalen don't-"

"We're here" Mom pulled in the drive way and i could see Daniel in the front, Nicole and Sean got out and walked past my window. Nicole stopped next to me and whispered

"I'm sorry about it but if it makes you feel any better i was running out of things to say" She smiled and rubbed my hair and met up with the two. Mom hugged me and kissed my forehead.

"Your dad would be happy you're doing this, I'm happy" I'm hugged her and got out of the car, i walked up to the curb and looked back at her as she waved at me as she drove out. I kept staring at her car...i don't know why but i did. We walked in and was greeted by who seemed to be the day guard. On his shirt it read "Jacob". He was about 5' 9 brown hair and a scruffy beard.

"You guys must be the newbies" I shook my head eager to get inside and see those robots.

"Well your job here is pretty simple" He walked inside and i followed him with the others, we walked in the dinner area a long row of tables and party hats with a stage in the front and arcade games surrounding them.

"Your job is to just make sure the coast is clear till 6am, now the robots do move and when they do" He handed Sean and i a button

"Press that to shock them and they return to the back room, now they do see humans as exoskeletons and if not wearing one of these Freddy masks...they will try to stuff you into a suit" The 3 seemed disturbed by this but i already knew all of this my dad programmed the robots to recognize the family including me.

"Ok so you start in 2 minutes and the camera room is down the hall and if you want you can hide there, there are doors but we have a limited supply of energy which is why these masks were given out incase the power does go out, that's all and good luck" He walked out and left us here alone, i started walking around to find the back room while the 3 put on the masks.

"Kalen put your mask on" Daniel following me

"I don't need them, they'll recognize me"

"But the guy said-" I turned around and stared straight into his eye

"He didn't build him...did he?" I walked away leaving him there, i found a room but it said don't not enter. I flipped it off and opened the door and...there they were standing next to each other Bonnie, Chica, and Freddy. I felt memories rush back into me, these were all i had of my father. I rubbed the fur on Bonnie and looked at him. Still was my favorite, they were in decent condition...but as long as they were fine...that's all that mattered. Daniel walked in and stared at them.

"Hey...shift is starting soon" I looked back and nodded, i know he meant well but at this point my whole reason for signing up is done, i headed back to the room and the others were gone and in the camera room as i could easily hear them laughing and tampering with the stuff in there. As i walked into the room i heard a bell ring...a father clock go off in the building.

"And here it begins" Sean said as he began looking through the camera's, i sighed knowing this was going to be a long night filled with sadness as i the past comes back as the present

Thanks for reading hope you enjoyed
