PART 2

A short time later, Mike was woke up by an elderly woman. "Dear, you've been sleeping for while now. I was just making sure you hadn't missed your stop," said the woman. "Actually, you woke me up just in time. My stop is the next one." "Also, you seemed to behaving a bad dream. You were moving around like you were frightened and kept saying something that sounded like 'It's me.' That's what really made me decide to wake you up." Upon hearing those two words, Mike's heart felt like it stopped. He As Mike exited the bus, we waved at the woman and shouted a thanks. As he was walking, he started to thinking about those two words.

*It's Me. What could it mean?* Mike first started having the nightmare a month ago. When he first had the dream, he didn't think much about. It was just a nightmare. Nothing unusual. He then had it again. He started wondering if there was more to the nightmare than he had thought. But, he just brushed it to the side again. He started having the nightmare more and more often. It got to the point where he would wake up multiple times in the night, covered in sweat and his heart racing. Once, he thought he saw the words while pouring a bowl of cereal. He was so scared, he just sat there, wide eyed and covered in cereal.

He noticed he had started running and his heart had started to beat faster and faster. He slowed to a jog, then a walk. He arrived at his building and went directly to his apartment. He fixed himself a cup of coffee and some oatmeal. After eating, he called Kim. She didn't answer so he left a message. He went to his couch. Turned on the television to the news. He laid down and was out in minutes.

He dreamed he was back in the office,the phone was ringing, and he could them again. He did not see the animatronics, he saw "It's Me" flashing in his vision. He woke up and sat up panting. He looked around and remembered where he was. He noticed that the phone was actually ringing. He walked over to the kitchen counter, where the phone was, and answered. It was Kim. "Hey." He was glad to hear her voice. "Hey," responded Mike. "So, how did last night go?" "It went great. Don't know what I was worried about," he lied. "That's good to hear. Have you gotten any sleep?" "Yeah. I slept some on the bus. I woke up from a nap just before you called," he said. "I didn't wake you, did I?" "No, no. I was already up," he said to keep her from feeling guilty. "Well, I've got to go. See you tonight." "See ya."

Mike's day went along as usual, slow and boring. He didn't have much to do during the day. He lived in an apartment alone, his only friend was Kim, and he had no other family. His parents had died five years earlier. They were caught in a car crash during a police chase. A man had committed a robbery and went flying down the road. Mike's parents had just left the grocery store and were going through an intersection. The criminal was looking back to check for police when he hit the driver's side of the parent's car. Mike's dad, who was driving, died a few minutes later. Mike's mom would have been okay, physically at least, if the car hadn't been pushed into a truck waiting to go through the intersection. She died three days later at the hospital. Mike was glad he got to see her before she went.

Later that day, Kim came by early so they could just chat before going to their jobs. Any time Kim asked him a question about his new job, he would quickly change the topics. "Well, it looks like we better start heading to work," Kim said. Mike just groaned quietly. On the way to his job, they both just sat quietly. When they arrived, Mike just stared at the sign. He had only been inside twice, and that was enough. He opened the car door and headed towards the door. "Goodnight!" shouted Kim. "I hope so," muttered Mike under his breath. "What?" "I said goodnight," shouted Mike.

Mike stared at the poster for a few minutes before heading to the office. *Was that what Kim was going to tell me? That there was a murder at this place.* He remembered to check the time. Three minutes until his shift started.

When he entered the building, he started to go directly to the office. He stopped in the east hall. There was a poster hanging directly across from the office door. Usually, it said the rules for safety. It was replaced by a news article. It read:

"Kids vanish at local pizzeria - bodies not found.

Two local children were reportedly lured into a backroom during the late hours of operation at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza on the night of June 26th. While video surveillance identified the man responsible and led to his capture the following morning, the children themselves were never found and are presumed dead.

Police think that the suspect dressed as a mascot to earn the children's trust."

It was about 12:30A.M. when he remembered the recordings. He hit play and listened to the words of the man. "Uhh, Hello? Hello? Uh, well, if you're hearing this and you made it to day two, uh, congrats!" *That's a weird thing to congratulate someone for.* "I-I won't talk quite as long this time since Freddy and his friends tend to become more active as the week progresses. Uhh, it might be a good idea to peek at those cameras while I talk just to make sure everyone's in their proper place. You know…" Upon hearing this, Mike picked up the tablet and checked the stage. Sure enough, Bonnie had already moved to the dining area. Mike put down the tablet. Had to conserve power after all. "I-I also want to emphasize the importance of using your door lights. There are blind spots in your camera views, and those blind spots happen to be right outside of your doors. So if-if you can't find something, or someone, on your cameras, be sure to check the door lights. Uh, you might only have a few seconds to react…" *Gee! Thanks for telling me. I had no idea!* "Uh, not that you would be in any danger, of course. I'm not implying that." *Oh, of course not. The animatronics definitely are going to stuff me into a suit and kill me if they catch me.* "Also, check on the curtain in Pirate Cove from time to time." *Wait, why?* "The character in there seems unique in that he becomes more active if the cameras remain off for long periods of time. I guess he doesn't like being watched. I don't know." *There's four characters! Just great!*"Anyway, I'm sure you have everything under control! Uh, talk to you soon." *Maybe not.*

During the night, Bonnie had appeared at the door twice before 4A.M. For some reason, he only showed up at the west door. During this time, Mike made sure to keep an eye on Pirate Cove. Around 2A.M., the curtain had moved. There stood what appeared to be a glowing, red eyes stared directly at the camera. His teeth were unlike the others. His were sharp, or appeared to be. His costume had been torn across the chest. Mike decided to check the other cameras. Around 4A.M., Mike checked Pirate Cove again. The fox had moved to being in front of the curtain. Mike could see the hook the fox had instead of a hand. He could only imagine what that would feel like as it dragged him away and stuffed him into a suit. Mike pushed the thought aside and looked for the other animatronics. *Alright, Bonnie is in the backroom. Freddy still on the stage. Chica iisss… where is Chica? The door!* Mike almost threw the tablet down and quickly hit the light buttons. Chica was staring through the east window. Mike hit the door button so hard, his hand stung for several minutes afterwards. Chica stayed until 5:30A.M. That's when the fox made his move. Mike checked Pirate Cove. The curtain was opened wide and the fox was no where to be seen. Mike went ahead and hit the west door button, that way both doors were closed. He checked the cameras to see where the fox was. When he checked the east hall, he saw the fox sprinting down the hall towards his office. He put the tablet down. Bang! Bang! Bang! The fox hit the door three times. Mike checked the tablet. He had thirteen percent power left. Pirate Cove was showing on screen. The fox was already back behind the curtain. Mike checked both lights before opening the doors. 6A.M. came and Mike bolted towards the door.
