Disclaimer- I do not own FNAF nor the song creeping toward the door. Enjoy!
They keep creeping towards the door
My stomach twists
Like a worm beneath the lure
My heart beat skips
Like a phonograph
SLAM!
The sound of the door slamming down in front of Chica's face.
'Whew! That was a close one. Dang, ever since Foxy came the first time, they've been restless.'
Slumping into the chair causing it to spin in a circle before taking the chance to look through the cameras. Switching to the main stage camera, he set his eyes on the animatronics.
'Damn it. Bonnie's gone now as well.' Flipping as fast as he could on the old fashioned security cameras, panicking slightly while looking for the over grown purple rabbit. 'Found you.'
He shivered as the rabbit seemed to be looking straight into the camera at him. Those dead looking eyes and teeth that could take a chunk out of him if need be.
Looking away from the camera to see if the evil duck was still out there. Sighing in relief as the duck of doom was no longer outside. He didn't want to waste any more battery if he could. Checking to the left as a safety precaution.
He flicked the light on, Teddy almost had a heart attack at the face of said purple rabbit from earlier appearing outside the door before slamming it closed down.
Gasping and trying to calm his racing heart, Teddy slid down the door as his legs could no longer hold him up. "Damn Easter Bunny. And Granny liked this dang thing. I swear I'm going to have grey hair before I'm thirty!"
'What was I thinking agreeing to take this job?!' Of course having a love-hate relationship with the place wasn't helping matters.
Love; for the place represented the hard work his godfather and friends worked to make the place, where family came together to forget the bad times. The joy it brought to the children and fondness of the parents. Laughter and music filling the air in the room.
Hate; for the very same place was where his beloved godfather was brutally murdered and taken away from him. The man that loved and supported him. The closest thing he had to a father, happy memories of the place tainted with the thought that this very place brought his godfather's demise.
Ripping himself away from his thoughts before he made himself depressed, Teddy noticed that it had been quiet for a little too long. Not to say he wanted the things after him, no thank you, but it made any person paranoid when bloody thirsty robotic animals were after you.
Doors turning up empty, he sped through the security cameras like a madman. 'Bloody hell! Where are they?' None of the animatronics turned up on the cameras, not mentioning the fact that two only had audio.
His panic skyrocketed as his stomach twisted in nerves. Hearing a hysterical sob in the room, it took Teddy a minute to realize the sound came from him. 'Why me?'
Old machines weren't built to last
But they keep creepin' towards the door
They keep creeping towards the door
Their bodies reek
Like they're carrying a corpse
"The doors!" Sprinting towards the doors and slamming the button to close the heavyweight doors. Teddy sat himself down, trying to get his breath back despite the fact that both the duck and Easter bunny were outside the doors, on each side of the office.
Taking a deep gulp of air in through his nose, he almost gagged on the scent that was in the air. "What is that horrible odor?" Clutching his sensitive nose, he cursed at his heightened sense of smell.
It smelled of blood and fear, not to mention the amount of anger surrounding it. Underlined with hint of decay. The smell of decay was very familiar to him.
Unwillingly bringing up the memory of the dead bodies that were discovered here. Uncle Harry, Auntie Mione, Uncle Ron, Uncle Neville and Uncle George.
They had looked so tiny and broken, Not at all like the strong people he recognized them as. Having to listen as Grandma explained why Uncle Harry wasn't going to come back. Ever.
"They smell just like them, too." Chuckling at himself for his morbid thoughts.
"How did those dang stuffed animals even last this long? It's been close to 12 years for those things to still be running around like they are. Others would have started to rust by now, not to mention becoming a useless pile of metal."
Sighing while rubbing his eyes in exhaustion. 'This is going to be a long night.'
Turning toward the clock on the camera screen. He groaned loudly, 'And it's not even two yet!'
Their footsteps creek
As they circle in
And the power's running thin
But they keep creeping towards the door
Hearing a faint noise, Teddy checked the cameras on the hallways near his office. "Well, hello there Freddy buddy."
Freddy standing in front of the light giving him a silhouette that covered his features undistinguishable. He felt himself becoming unnerved. "Never stops being creepy." He murmured to himself.
Checking toward the power level on screen. "Dang it, only 40% left. And I still have two more hours to go." Watching as Chica was in the kitchen back turned towards the camera. The rest were the same, except for Foxy who was always behind his curtain since the first visit.
'Seriously though, why are they more active than usual? I mean, even Golden Freddy comes out and he rarely comes out.'
Pondering slightly to himself wondering just what made him different from the rest of the security guards. 'Man, this just makes my job more troublesome to deal with since that phone guy's advice isn't helping.'
He groaned to himself, "Gran was right. This was a dumb and dangerous idea." Glancing at the clock for what seemed the hundredth time that night.
Dropping his head into his arms on his desk, time seemed to pass by more slowly when it was close to the end of his shift. "At least it's only half an hour before I can go home.'
'I really should've listened to Gran.'
The phone guy tells me that there is no danger
But I suspect that things will get much stranger
Something about this room is hypnotizing…
Paralyzing…
Terrifying!
Teddy sat at his desk listening to phone guy's voicemail.
"Haah, that guy. I remember him now, he was one of the few besides Vincent who didn't run screaming from the place once the contract was up. What was his name again? Mark? Larry? Steven? Eh." Shrugging to himself, putting his attention to doors and cameras.
Phasing through the cameras and closing the door every now and then. Able to predict their patterns as the night went on.
"Huh, they seem less persistent tonight. It's almost kinda boring seeing that the fuzz balls don't feel like ripping me apart into little bloody pieces for now."
Checking up on his fuzzy buddies, note the sarcasm, was a little spooky since they seemed to be glitching menacingly, like from those horror movies with the creepy possessed dolls looking to take over your body as they murdered your whole family because they had nothing else to do.
'Okay, bad thoughts, Teddy.' He could sort of see the similarities between them.
"Yeah, maybe they are possessed and want to seek out their revenge from the security guards before they can move on!" Striking a victory pose alone in his office.
"Pfft. Nah, that seems the kind of thing that would happen to Uncle Harry from what Gran and used to tell me." Shrugging the crazy idea away.
"Gah!" Practically flying to close the door. "Whew! Almost had me there, Freddy boy." Returning to his chair before stretching his back out.
He rubbed his neck, waiting for the night to be over. "At least Vincent will come help me. Can't get any worse than this."
They keep creeping toward the door
My backbone shakes
Like a tremor on the floor
My kneecaps quake
Why don't I just scram?
Or unplug that stupid fan!
Teddy was literally shaking in his boots. Vincent had decided to help Ted for his shift that night since they don't see each other as often. Gran was all for it since he could watch over Teddy and make sure he came home that night safely.
'Pretty sure this wasn't what Gran had in mind when Vincent was going to come along.'
Ever since the beginning of the shift, the animatronics have been brutal. If they were really persistent when Teddy was over then they were murderous when Vincent came through.
Both had been running non-stop toward the doors and flickering through the camera. Everyone was showing up.
"Uncle Vincent?" He managed to gasp out after running towards both doors, for the 10th time that night. After checking with the lights that they were gone, lifted them back up.
"Yeah squirt?" Vincent answered flickering through the cameras, making sure to keep an eye on Foxy, whose eye was seen between the curtains.
"Why are they reacting this way since they are never this way when I come to do my shift. And Golden Freddy has managed to come out and into the room more than once! He hardly ever comes out!" Waving his arms around to make sure that Vincent understood what the problem was.
Vincent waved his question off. "Mah, don't worry about it, squirt. The gang and I go way back. They just never seemed to like me too much."
Teddy paled at the thought of the same happening to him every night.
'I so would have died on the first night. No questions asked, at least they like me. Well, what can count as liking since they haven't come to rip my bones from my body like they seem to want to with Uncle Vincent. Merlin, why me?"
"Ted! Right door quickly!" Vincent barked. Slamming the door as he had seen a flash of red. "Ted left door now!" Running to the next door before closing that one, seeing a glimpse of brown this time.
'Good thing this is a small office otherwise I would have never made it on time.'
He suddenly put his hands over his ears at the angry screeches that came from behind both sealed doors. Vincent merely kept his eyes on the cameras. Knowing him, he was probably used to noise.
"Hmpf. Still have two hours left, we should be able to last through the rest of the night. They seem pretty tame tonight. Teddy raise the doors, no need to waste the energy if we can." Vincent instructed.
"This is tame?!"
'Its official, I'm never doing this again with Uncle Vincent again even if I have to tie him up and lock him in a closet.'
"Hm? Yeah, it is. Maybe because you're here?" Vincent grinned at him.
Teddy shook his head at his insane Uncle before going back to their electricity problem.
"Then why don't we just unplug the fan? We don't need it and it could save energy if we could just turn it off." Teddy suggested.
Vincent snorted, "You don't think I haven't tried that? The cord just leads into the wall, there is no plug to pull."
Teddy seemed to hum in response as he looked toward the clock.
"Say Teddy, why don't we do this again some other time?"
"No! Just no!"
"Aw but teddy-"
"No Uncle Vincent."
"Fine. Spoilsport." Teddy just spluttered in response.
Cuz they keep creeping towards the door
These furry phonies masquerade like they're cute
The kids don't notice cause they think their cartoons!
Oh don't look now I think Freddy's en route
Deadly pursuit,
Sweaty fur suit!
Teddy just did not feel like today was one of his days. He woke up late from his nap before work, on his walk to work, it had started to pour down. Not to mention he forgot his hat that was part of the uniform and barely made it into the office on time before the deadly animals started roaming about.
He plopped himself down onto his worn office chair. His wet clothes rubbing against his skin in uncomfortable places.
"Might as well get to work. It'll probably help distract me from my uncomfortable position." Funny enough, there was hardly anyone moving about, almost like they noticed his bad mood and decided to leave him be for a while.
Unfortunately his bad mood led his thought astray since the animatronics weren't moving about to keep his mind off such things.
"Tch, I really hate this place." His mind going into things he would rather not remember. Back to the times where his family had been much happier.
Times when his godfather would come over to visit whenever he had time to play with him. Showing him how to play pranks on Uncle Ron before Auntie 'Mione caught them. Prank wars against Uncle George or watching him come up with new products for his shop.
Auntie 'Mione teaching about the history of magic. Learing about plants from Uncle Neville. Gran always came home to the usual routine, simply sighing in fond exasperation. She had been happy as well, her eyes now shown with deep sorrow and pain since they had been found on that fated day.
(Flashback)
He recalled the events that led up to it. His godfather had missed one of his babysitting appointments which that in itself wasn't unusual since he was busy with work and being the savior of the wizarding world, at least sent word if he was going to be late or couldn't make it.
He didn't show up the next day either.
in trouble again, attempting to joke it off but he had seen the slight worry though for what he didn't know at the time.
Remembered hearing the hushed whispers with Gran and as they talked about how the rest of his uncles and aunt had gone missing as well around the same time as Harry. Watching as it grew harder for them to hide how worried they were.
Shortly after, Gran had been getting many complaints from staff and customers about the weird stench that had come from the animatronics.
Teddy had come along with his Gran but he was to stay in the other room while she investigated along with the mechanics. He was content to stay in the secluded playroom but was interrupted by the ear-piercing scream of his grandmother.
The scream had startled him, wondering what had scared his grandmother. He walked over to the door and opened just a crack.
The mechanics looked to be in grief and anger as they were pulling something out from the fuzzy robots. It looked crimson and bumpy as a broken mass of flesh.
His grandmother was sobbing on the floor, cradling one of the grotesque things close to her. He was startled to realize that it was actually a kid similar to his age that his grandma was holding, the small child seemed to be clutching something in his tiny frozen hand.
The kid looked like his Uncle Harry when he was younger like in the pictures Auntie 'Mione showed him while the rest of his uncles were trying to take the pictures away from said witch in embarrassment.
He figured that maybe the little kid was related to his Uncle till he recognized the object in the child's hand that his Uncle never took off, the one thing he said he would give to him when he was older.
His six year old mind got the horrifying realization that the red liquidy stuff was actually blood and that the child; someone had killed him. He was-
"Uncle Harry?"
Flash back end
The good memories of the restaurant had become tainted; how his Uncles and Aunts worked hard to make others feel happy at the pizzeria only for the same place to be their deathbeds.
CLANK! CLANK!
Brought from his depressing memories, he ran instinctively toward the left door to close it. Turning back toward his desk knowing that he was safe now.
"SCREECH!"
"GAHHH!"
Grabbing his chest over his heart as it pounded loudly in his ears. Calming down after realizing there was no real danger responded in kind. "Gee, thanks for gracing me with your magnificent presence by scaring the hell out of me, Golden Freddy."
Teddy heard a clinking guttural sound that vaguely resembled laughter.
"Now I know I must be going crazy! Bloody background, walking robots out to kill you and now laughing voices! Next thing you know, ghosts are going to start popping up proclaiming they're alive."
'Oh Merlin, what have I gotten myself into?'
The phone guy tells me that there is no danger
But I suspect that things will get much stranger!
Something about this room is hypnotizing…
Paralyzing…
Terrifying!
(Gasping)
Teddy was listening to the final voicemail from phone guy.
"Oh my god. They killed him! And he was completely calm while recording that! This guy is insane! I just hope his death was at least quick." Shaking the disturbing thoughts out of his head.
Interrupted from the chaos in his mind he felt tension enter the room; from what, he didn't know. He felt magic start to fill the room as well.
The magic itself had a peculiar feeling to it. It felt innocent yet broken but it was combined with the strong undertone of maliciousness. Not to mention the feeble feeling of hope clouding the magic.
'Where is it coming from?' Checking the doors on both sides, nothing showed up. Flickering through the cameras, Teddy noticed Foxy's stage curtains were drawn back but no fox.
"Merlin's saggy pants! Where did he go?!"
CLANK! CLANK!
Was the sound heard further down the hallway on the left. Quickly flipping to the camera closest to that side, a short mechanical figure blazed down the hallway as a blur of red.
"Holy Morgana!" Practically tripping toward the door in his haste.
SLAM!
"Why does he keep coming after me?! He hardly came out this often with the other guards from what I've heard so why me?!" Teddy was slowly becoming hysterical due to the stressful nights and nightmares. Paranoia kept him awake at home even during the daytime hours.
After a few minutes wait, he poked his head from the office. "No evil animals on this side." Moving to the right. "No evil animals on this side either."
SCREECH!
"Spoke too soon!" Rushing toward the opposite door. "Gah! He's right outside!" Exclaiming as Foxy had his head peeking from the doorway.
'Crapcrapcrapcrapcrap! He'sgonnakillme!'
SLAM!
The second the door closed, the bell rang signaling that it was six o'clock and the official end of the nightmare for now.
"That was the closest the fox had gotten." Leaning against the wall. "Close enough to see the scratches and wires under the metal." 'Too close for my comfort. I actually thought I was going to die.'
After calming his thudding heart along with the adrenaline leaving, he rethought over the last moment. 'He looked like he had been staring for a while before I noticed he was there. Could have used the chance to finish me.'
He shook the thought off as he walked toward the employee room to get ready to go home.
CLING!
The light sound of metal hitting the floor caused him to pause midway through changing his shirt. Glancing down, Teddy noticed that it was his butterfly pendent. It was an unusual entire black butterfly with bright green accents. He remembered asking about the necklace when Harry had still been alive.
Flashback
Teddy was being watched over by his Uncle Harry as his Gran was off running errands and having her 'me' time. Both males had just finished a long hard battle of tickle fights, trying to get their breath back as they laid on the floor. Granted, Harry was gasping more towards the hard exercise of chasing down the little hellion while Teddy was panting due to the tickling he had been subjected to, currently using his uncle's body as a pillow.
"Hey Uncle Harry, why do you have a girl's necklace on?" Curious since that was the type of things that girls liked, at least from what Victoire told him.
Harry made an offended noise, "My necklace isn't just for girls. I'll have you know Teddy bear that butterflies having a deeper meaning than you think."
Picking Teddy up whilst sitting crisscrossed and placing him in his lap, he proceeded to explain. "Just listen, Teddy, as I explain what they symbolize and what it means to me."
"Butterflies represent the need for change, greater freedom, courage and comfort from the air. Now what those things mean to me would be the need for change is for the people who fought in the war for what they thought was right, for those that had no voice."
Bringing the memories of his friends fighting alongside him, to keep fighting against the dark side who were looking to suppress those of impure blood. The young muggleborns who were arrested simply because they had no magical ancestors.
"Freedom for everyone to be themselves whether they had creature blood or were muggleborns or halfbloods. Other children that came from dark families without being judged."
Remus being judged and unable to get a job simply because he had a fuzzy problem once a month even though he was the gentlest person you could ever meet. Sirius being judged for coming from a dark family as the ones who were more likely to stab you in the back.
The halfbloods who were looked down upon by the majority of purebloods as inferior; weaker since having a muggle parent meant that your worth was reduced. The death eater children who were looked upon with hate because their parents had worked for Voldemort.
"Courage to do what is right and not what is easy." Neville standing up against Voldemort even though he had been injured, later cutting off Nagini's head so Harry could finish Voldemort off. Mrs. Weasley fighting against Bellatrix even after she had lost of her own children in battle.
"Seeking comfort in the air helped me whenever it was too much at one point." Sneaking out into the quidditch field late at night whenever the public turned against him. Next day being looked upon as the savior even when he had just been a young boy himself as the adults in the situation looked to him for guidance. Where the windblown in his hair as he flew on his broom.
Forgetting everything for just in that moment, he wasn't Gryffindor's golden boy or the chosen one and fated savior nor was he the child of Lily and James Potter while he did love his parents, one would get tired of being constantly told that he looked just like his father but with his mother's eyes. He was just Harry.
Bringing his attention back to his nephew, he softly ruffled his hair. "I know you probably don't get it now but when you're older and I hand this necklace to you, you'll see what I've been trying to tell you. You're a smart kid, Teddy."
Flashback end
And Teddy did get it now, though it was too late to tell his Uncle that he understood what he had been trying to tell him. The necklace was one of the reasons he had recognized and made the horrifying realization that it was him that day.
He remembered when he had gone to Hogwarts and getting into fights with his classmates whenever they insulted his girly looking necklace.
They didn't understand that it was the only precious connection he had to his dear godfather. On days that felt like the worst, he swore he could feel the necklace warm up and could faintly hear the familiar song his uncle would hum to him as he fell asleep. As if his godfather was trying to cheer him up even if he wasn't there physically with him.
Teddy hardly, if ever took off the necklace. Gently picking up from the necklace from its place on the floor, he checked it over for any damage.
'Uncle Harry.'
For some reason, that blasted fox came into his mind before he had slammed the door down. That startling moment replayed through his mind as if on slow motion. The fox had looked him right in the eyes, noticing now that instead of their usual gold color, they had glowed green as well as flashing between a red filled with hate. The shade of green he had only seen on one person.
The emotions that should have been on a robot face shown in Foxy's eyes. Joy and pride along with sorrow and longing. But vast amount of love directed at him. The red would appear just as quick as if warring with himself, flashing with general loathing.
He griped his head between his hands, tugging at his hair. Teddy's brain planting a crazy suggestion in his head. 'No. Nononononono! It's absurd. Think rationally here Teddy, there's no way he could be-'
"Harry."
Preview for next chapter.
"What do you mean they won't be coming? Who the hell are you?"
"Teddy bear, please just listen."
Teddy glared into the dark. "How do you know that name?"
The figure hesitated before coming out from the shadows.
"Because I'm –"
A/N- Okay guys, I finally got up to finishing this and I was having trouble on figuring out how I wanted teddy to at least be suspicious of the animatronics. But hopefully this worked out and will be coming out with the third chapter though that might take a while as well. If you want to help with the process then leave a review of what FNAF song I should use for the last part of the sequel or simply have a question regarding the story. Sorry if you guys who are reading this are waiting for the updates on my other stories and the only thing I have to say is that for Librarian in Konoha I'm having writers block on where I want this to go. For those waiting for harry the reaper then I can only say that I was in the middle of rewriting it but then I lost my flash drive where I kept it so yeah. But don't worry I'll update sometime with a filler chapter to keep you guys going.
Ja ne.
