Chapter 7: Gathering Parts

Disclaimer: I don't own Five Nights at Freddy's. In this chapter a devastating but inevitable turn of events makes Josh rethink a lot of things. Don't forget to review, and enjoy!

It was a week later, and the four animatronics were doing their show. They had finally got the flow of the restaurant, and they even played games at night.

I was glad to see them happy, and they even invited me to play games with them! Until one night we were playing hide and seek when I heard footsteps coming from the corridor. I called them out from their hiding place and whispered

"Someone's here."

They looked at me, alarmed. The footsteps got suddenly louder.

"Quick!" I say, ushering them onto the stage in full panic mode. "Pretend to be deactivated!"

Just before the footsteps enter, Freddy looks at me fearfully and says

"What are they going to do?"

I look into his eyes and see fear there. Wanting to banish the fear but knowing in my heart I can't, I say

"I've no idea Freddy. Come on, otherwise they'll see you're alive!"

He closed his eyes just as Mr Fazzy and what looked like the boss of the animatronic company walked in.

"So I've just finished designing the new animatronics," the boss was saying. "I thought I should bring the designs over so that you could approve them."

Mr Fazzy spent five minutes comparing the designs to the animatronics. I wondered what made them so different, but before I could look over his shoulder at the plans he folded them up and nodded. "Oh, one more thing," the boss added. "We'll need these old ones for parts."

I looked at him in horror. They had just been saved from their eternity of pain, and they had just got used to the routine too! Plus, after a week with four friends, I didn't want to be alone again.

Mr Fazzy nodded. "Ok,"

So, I had to watch in horror as they dragged the animatronics into the parts service room. First went Bonnie, who jerked a little when he was being carried. Then Chica, who's beak opened in a silent scream as she was taken off the stage. Then Foxy, who made a large smash when they threw him into the room. When they got to Freddy, I was almost going to shout out to them, but I kept quiet as Freddy was thrown in. Mr Fazzy gave the boss a "thanks" before leaving, and the boss locked himself in the parts service room. Sitting outside was very hard as I kept on hearing rips and tears. I wondered what the boss could possibly be doing to those poor kids. After what seemed like hours, he came out carrying a box full of parts. I saw a blue jaw, a yellow hand and parts of orange and red fur in the top which almost made me sick.

Almost crying, I walked in and witnessed the damage. Freddy was lying lifeless in the corner, parts of his skin torn off. Foxy was about the same, but Chica and Bonnie was the worst. Chica's jaw was hanging down, showing her endoskeleton teeth and her hands were now just a mess of wires. Bonnie's left arm was gone, but the worst thing was that Bonnie's face was just a metal skeleton. The only hint that a face was once there was the red lenses that was his eyes and his lower jaw.

"Josh?"

I whipped round. Freddy was staring at me, half hurt, half anger.

"I'm sorry," My voice broke. "Mr Fazzy is going to replace you with more "kid friendly" animatronics because he thinks you look too scary. I heard them talking."

"So we won't do the show anymore?" Bonnie asked sadly, who, I could tell, loved doing the show. When I shook my head sadly, he asked "Can't you at least fix us?"

"Bonnie, stop it." Chica said. "This is going to be our appearance for a few years now, Josh can't just magic up parts out of thin air."

"We can still wander around at night right?" Foxy asked.

When I nodded, they all looked relieved, then we got back to Hide and Seek.
