Ha, I imagine a lot of you are probably very confused about what happened in the last chapter… but imagine how I felt…
Anyway… you guys are here to find out how I felt so… lets get to it…
Chapter 7
Darkness… was all I could see. I had no idea where I was; all that I knew is that I was cold, scared, and alone.
"Hello?" I called out, my voice echoing throughout the area.
Suddenly, I heard a 'clink' of something hitting the ground and I felt something hit my foot, making me jump a bit. I then kneeled down and blindly reached for whatever had hit my foot.
My hand searched for a bit, until I felt something. The object was some type of cylinder and I picked it up. I felt some type of switch on the cylinder and realized that it was a flashlight. I pressed the switch forward, turning on the flashlight.
When the light from the flashlight appeared it shined on the face of Freddy who was about two inches away from my face. I yelped and fell backwards in surprise, the flashlight flew out of my grip in the process. I was left in darkness and my eyes scanned for the flashlight. I then saw the light of the flashlight a little ways away from me and crawled over to it.
I picked up the flashlight and aimed the light back towards where I saw Freddy. But, to my horror, Freddy's face was no longer there.
'Oh shit! Where the hell did he go?' I thought.
I then slowly got up and aimed my flashlight all around the room, but all I saw was walls. But my light eventually landed on what I assumed to be a hallway. I crept forward and proceeded down the hallway. As I walked down the foreboding hallway, I felt as if I was being watched... scratch that, I felt like I was being hunted.
There was a sudden sound of metal colliding with something behind me and I whirled around, pointing my flashlight in the direction of where the sound came from.
What I saw freaked me out a bit. There were two small lights back where I had came from. They were somewhat in the distance and I could just barely see them. I then noticed that they were getting bigger and brighter. Then it hit me, they weren't lights, they were eyes.
I froze as I heard the simultaneous 'CLANG's of an animatronics' footsteps. I heard the movement of robotic joints as the small lights got bigger and bigger, swaying back and forth as the animatonic got closer. My mind was screaming for me to run but my legs remained planted to the ground.
The footsteps then stopped as the lights did. The lights were just out of my light's reach. The lights then advanced forward and the head of Freddy emerged from the darkness. My eyes widened with fear and my pupils shrunk.
"D-don't be af-afraid…" Freddy suddenly spoke in a robotic voice. "I-I won't hurt you-ou."
Freddy then took a step forward and that's when my body decided to listen to my mind. I turned around and bolted down the hallway. As I ran I heard the movement of robotic joints behind me as well as the simultaneous 'THUD' of metal feet hitting the ground.
"Wait d-don't leave!" I heard the scratch and robotic voice of Freddy behind me.
His voice sounded too close for comfort and I ran faster. As I looked done the hallway I felt as if it was getting thinner and thinner. It wasn't until my arms started to scrape up against the wall that I noticed that the hallway was actually getting thinner. I kept running down the hallway until I saw that at the end of it there was a small gap that led into a room.
Freddy was still hot on my heels and I strained myself, desperately trying to reach the gap. I then turned sideways and jumped to the gap, just barely able to make it through without getting stuck. I heard a 'THUD' as something collided with the gap behind me.
I landed harshly on the cold tiled ground and positioned myself on my back so I could see what happened back in the hallway. I pointed my flashlight at the gap to see that Freddy was reaching out for me with one hand. He seemed to be unable to get through the gap and I was safe.
I slowly stood up, not taking the light off of Freddy as I did so. I then noticed Freddy was looking at me with a scared expression.
"No d-don't go in there! That's were he is-" Freddy said in his glitchy robotic voice but he stopped abruptly.
Freddy went wide eyed as he stared at me and it seemed like he was fearful of me.
'What's he got to be afraid of?' I thought as I backed away from him. 'I couldn't even hurt him if I tri-' My thoughts were interrupted when I bumped into something behind me. 'Maybe he wasn't looking at me…' I thought with fear. I then slowly turned around and aimed my flashlight. The light landed upon something yellowish gold, I observed that the yellow thing had a bow tie and realized that this was a torso of something. My hand drifted the flashlight upward and the light landed upon the demon that I had seen in my dreams: the golden bear.
The bear loomed over me and its black eyes stared straight into my soul. I once again froze up in fear as the bear's eyes seemed to leak a black liquid along with its mouth. I slowly backed away as the yellow bear started to reach its arms out.
The demon then let out a demonic bellow that would bring fear to the heart of the bravest man.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" It roared.
The demon than grabbed me and opened its mouth. It brought its head down and its jaws bit down on my skull.
I screamed in agony and the world around me faded into blackness.
Real world…
I jolted straight up into a sitting position, screaming. I then slapped my hand over my mouth when I realized where I was. I looked around to see that I was in my bedroom sitting up in my bed.
'God I hope no one heard me screaming…' I thought as I looked down at my bed.
I saw that I had no covers on me and that most of them were off to the side of me, some were even on the floor.
'That must have been a more intense dream than I thought…' I thought. I then looked over to the clock to see that it was about 7:20 in the morning. 'I wish I could have slept longer though…'
I glided my legs over to the side of the bed and stood up. I then walked out of the bedroom out into the living room and walked over to the bathroom. I opened the door to the room and flipped the lights on.
I then walked over the sink and turned the handle to the faucet on. I cupped my hands and let the water pour into them, I then brought my hands up and splashed the water on my face, trying to clear my head a bit. I then put my hands on either side of the sink and leaned on it.
'These god damn nightmares are getting to me…' I thought. 'I feel like they mean something… but what?' I looked up into the mirror at my blue eyes. 'Am I just going crazy? Or are these dreams something more than just dreams?' I shook my head and looked back down at the sink. 'Get it together Mike… you can't afford to lose your cool…' I thought as I stopped leaning on the sink and stood to my full height. 'When you got murderous metallic monsters after you… you've gotta keep a level head.'
I then dropped my boxers and got into the shower. I chuckled a bit. 'Ha, murderous metallic monsters… try saying that five times fast.' I thought as I turned the shower on and felt the warm, relaxing water against my skin. 'Nice to have a warm shower to clear my head…'
I then recalled what happened the night before. 'What the hell was that?' I wondered. 'First the part about Sarah being… well Bonnie, then the whole part about that guy at the desk being killed by Foxy. ' I then remembered what Sarah had said before she had gone.
"He doesn't want me here anymore Mike!" I remembered Sarah's words.
'Who is "he" and what the hell has he done to my sister?' I thought. 'He seems to have some control over her… he's probably the one who is blackmailing Mr. Fazebear as well… hell, he's probably got the whole place under his command… the animatronics and everything…' I thought.
After little while I shut off the shower and stepped out. Another thought crossed my mind as I grabbed a towel.
'How long am I going to be caught up in this game?' I thought. 'I certainly don't want to spend the rest of my life at a job where I could be brutally mutilated at any given time…'
I dried myself off and wrapped the towel around my waist. I then walked over to the sink and opened the cabinet in my mirror. I took out my toothbrush and toothpaste, put the paste on my brush and started to brush my teeth.
'Whatever is going on at that place… I've got to put a stop to it.' I thought. 'As much as I don't like it, I'm caught up in this psychopath's game… and the only way to get out of it alive is to play by the rules.' I then spit and cupped my hands. I filled them with water again and use the water to rinse. 'For now at least.'
I then walked out of the bathroom and back into the bedroom. As I put on some boxers I thought: 'As soon as I find a way out of this mess without anyone getting hurt I'm taking it…' I then put on some blue jeans. 'I just hope that opportunity will be here soon, I don't know how much longer I can keep this up.' I thought as I put on some socks and a black T-shirt. 'Sooner or later I'm going to slip up and those metallic bastards (cept Bonnie) will haul me off.'
I then walked out into the living room and sat down on my couch. I placed the back of my head on the back of the couch and looked up at the ceiling.
'I've got to go back there again tonight…' I thought. I then sighed and brought my head down to my hand. I ran my fingers through my hair and thought.
'God… I hope I can keep my sanity and my life intact tonight.'
But little did I know that I was about to lose one of those two things on that night…
Freddy Fazebear's Pizzeria 11:15 pm
I exited my car and walked towards the entrance of the pizzeria. I decided to come a bit early because I wanted to talk to Sarah before all hell broke loose.
'Another day at the death house…' I thought as I opened the doors. I noticed that Mr. Fazebear was no where in sight and glanced over at the front desk to see there was another slip of paper. I walked over to the desk and picked up the note.
Dear Mr. Schmidt
I again am not able to meet you here. Do not take it as a personal things its just that I must attend to other matters.
I shook my head. 'Yeah, more like you don't want to be trapped in this place when the animatronics come to life…' I thought.
I wish you luck tonight, and remember:
Lock the front door.
Sincerely
Mr. Fazebear
I placed the note back down on the desk and walked over to the enterance. I took out the key to the doors and slid it in the key hole, I turned the keys sideways and with a 'click' the doors were locked.
'Alright… night 3 in this hell hole… lets see if I can't get any advantages.' I thought.
I then walked out into the dining area and peered up on stage to see the Fazebear crew. I shivered a bit as I looked up there, knowing that in about a half an hour they were going to come to life and try to murder me. I then walked up on stage and stood in front of Bonnie.
"Hey Sarah, you got a minute?" I asked.
The animatronic remained lifeless and unmoving. I raised an eyebrow.
"Sarah?" I said but the bunny still did not respond. "Come on Sarah don't be like this, you're creeping me out…" I then chuckled a bit. "Ha, never thought I'd be creeped out that a robot isn't talking to me…" I then shook my head. "Sarah just please… talk to me."
But the animatronic didn't move an inch; hell she didn't even look at me. I then backed away a bit and held my head.
'What the hell? Was all that last night just a dream? Or some type of hallucination?' I thought as I walked off stage. 'Am I just going plan out crazy?' I then sat down on the side of the stage and held my head with both my hands. 'Is any of this even real? I mean… all of it sounds like something out of a horror movie…'
At this point I was actually starting doubt reality, I felt paranoid and insecure. As if my whole reality was caving in on itself… maybe it was…
I then shook my head, trying to clear it. 'No Mike… you've gotta keep a level head, especially with what's about to happen in about thirty minutes.' I thought.
An idea then popped into my head. 'Mr. Fazbear isn't here at the moment… and hell, he probably knows more about what's going on here then I do…' I looked over towards the doorway that led to the front desk. 'He's probably got some stuff in his office that would give me some info on the crazy shit that's been happening here.'
I then got up and walked to out to the front desk. I then walked over to the door leading into Mr. Fazebear's office. I gripped the doorknob and twisted it sideways. Unfortunately the knob didn't turn and I used my shoulder to test if the door was actually locked. I used my shoulder to hit the door lightly twice and, to my misfortune. The door didn't budge. I took my hand off the doorknob and stepped back from the door.
"Damn… its locked.' I thought. 'And the bastard didn't even give me a key…' I observed the door for a second. 'I probably could break it down… except I'd probably be fired if I di-' I paused as I realized: 'Fazzebear wouldn't fire me… he has no choice but to keep me here. I could probably do a lot of stuff here and get away with it.'
I then backed up a bit and prepared to charge the door. 'Yeah, I'm gonna find out what the hell is going on here and a door isn't going to stop me.' I thought. I was about to charge the door until I hesitated. 'But… if I break down that door I have risk of injuring myself…' I thought. 'And if I end up breaking something… then I probably would have a low chance of survival here.'
I got out of my offensive stance and leaned on the front desk. 'And… even if I did leave after I injured myself… the bastard controlling this place might not appreciate it.' I sighed and bawled my hand up into a fist. 'There's just no damn way out of this is there?' I thought as I looked down.
I shook my head and walked out into the dinning area. I peered back up at the Fazebear crew again and I froze up a bit when I noticed that Freddy was staring right at me. I then blinked and Freddy was staring off into the distance again. I backed away down the hallway to the security office a bit.
'You stay there tonight you damn bear, or I swear…' I thought as I glared up at Freddy. I turned around and started to walk towards the security office. But… as I walked down the hallway... I felt cold and… I don't know, vulnerable. I heard a bone-chilling chuckle behind me:
"He-he…." It went in a deep echoing tone.
I slowly turned around and saw Freddy standing about a foot behind me. I quickly stepped back and my heart rate shot through the roof. Freddy the reached his arm out in my direction, as if he was about to grab me. I backpedaled and tripped on something. I felt flat on my ass and lost sight of Freddy for a second. When I looked back up at where he once was I saw that he was gone.
I sat there on the ground for a bit as sweat poured down from my forehead. I was trying to process what had just happened but my mind wasn't working properly due to fear. My mind then went to a late fight or flight response choosing flight as a sensible option.
I quickly got up and bolted down the hallway and into the security office. When I got into the office I quickly pressed the button to the door and the door came down with a somewhat satisfying 'CLANG'. I backed away from the door and fell into my chair. I took off my cap and placed both my hands on my head.
'Shit… just… why the hell does this have to happen…?' I thought as I ran my fingers through my hair. 'Why the hell am I stuck in this mess?' Tears started to form in my eyes as my mind started to break down.
All of the pressure and the dread were starting to sink in. The traumatizing events of my life and the horrifying events that were happening now were mixing together and my mind couldn't handle it.
I smacked my head down on my desk and tried to control my breathing. 'Alright Mike… lets just do one more night… one more night of this shit and we're good. I'm sure tomorrow this will all be figured out and you will be able to go back to your normal life…' I thought, trying to give myself a sense of hope, even if it was a just a shred of it.
I lifted my head off my desk and sighed as I calmed down a bit. 'Just one more night…' I thought as I put my cap back on and looked up at the computer screen. I noticed that there was not power bar and looked over at the closed door. I chuckled a bit.
'I guess I don't have to worry about keeping the doors up if I got all the power in the world.' I thought. I then looked back to the computer screen and brought my hand up to the mouse. 'Now lets just do something to take my mind of the gut wrenching events that are about to occur…'
I then opened up the wonderful game of…
Solitaire.
About a half an hour later…
The phone starting to ring and my heart stopped.
'Shit…' I thought. I then quickly got up and pressed the button to the door that was closed on my right. The door opened and I sat back down. I exited out of Solitaire and opened the application to the camera feeds. But, to my horror, Chica was gone.
I quickly brought up the camera feed of the room with the fuse box in it to see that Chica was already standing at the shut off switch.
'Son of a bitch!' I thought as I glared at the computer screen. 'I hate that god damn bird…'
The phone picked up and I heard the voice of the former night guard say:
"Hello, hello?-' but the voice was quickly cut off when Chica pulled the lever and the power went out. About a second later I heard the generator turn on and power was restored to the building. The lights came back on in my office as well as the computer and phone. The recording continued…
"Hey you're doing great! Most people don't last this long. I mean, you know, they usually move on to other things by now. I'm not implying that they died. Th-th-that's not what I meant."
I glared at the phone. 'This guy thinks I'm a f****** dumbass!' I thought out of rage. I actually did want to pick up the phone and yell at the guy. But unfortunately it was only a recording.
"Uh, anyway I better not take up too much of your time. Things start to get real tonight."
I raised an eyebrow. 'I think things have been real enough… what could possibly be worse than this?' I thought.
I was about to regret thinking that in about an hour.
"Uh... Hey, listen, I had an idea: if you happen to get caught and want to avoid getting stuffed into a Freddy suit, uhh, try playing dead! You know, go limp. Then there's a chance that, uh, maybe they'll think that you're an empty costume instead. Then again if they think you're an empty costume, they might try to... stuff a metal skeleton into you. I wonder how that would work. Yeah, never mind, scratch that. It's best just not to get caught."
I rolled my eyes. 'Yeah no shit… thanks for the help jackass.' I thought, but the recording continued.
"Um… Ok, I'll leave you to it. See you on the flip side."
The guy then hung up and the office was once again silent except for the… increasingly annoying sound of the fan's 'wrrrrrrrrrr.'
'I just hope there is a flip side…' I thought as I looked back to the computer.
My eyes widened when I noticed that Bonnie was gone. I quickly flipped through the camera's but, to my dismay, Bonnie was no where in sight.
'Dammit where is she!?' I thought as I kept flipping through the camera's.
Now you all may think that I don't have to worry about Bonnie, because Bonnie is Sarah. But after the little encounter with Sarah last night and the fact that Sarah lost control to Bonnie I was a little skeptical to who exactly was controlling the suit that night.
'If she's not on the cams then she must be in the hall-' My thoughts were interrupted when I looked up from the computer to see…
Bonnie.
A/N: Another cliffhanger! Who is it in front of Mike? Bonnie? Or Sarah? I guess you'll just have to wait and see.
But anyway lets talk about a few things…
Yeah I know this chapter may be a bit boring but this is one of the chapters that is informational and not action packed, but I hope you enjoyed anyways.
I can't really fit this exactly with Five Nights at Freddy's 2 because… well it came out after I published the first few chapters of this fic. But… I do have a few things in store that are from the second game which I'm hoping you guys will like.
Are you guys okay with the whole "visions of the past" things? Because I can switch up a few things in the story if you guys like.
And lastly to 7Digits: Yes I did know that you meant the cussing rather than the vocabulary. And yes I did add some colorful words here and its no offense to you or the fact that I want the language… its just that I base this off of realism and you can't say that if you were in this situation you wouldn't cuss up a blue streak. No that doesn't mean its going to be a whole lot colorful of words because this is T for teen so I have to restrict it a bit.
Anyways, enough of my rambling, see you guys in the next chapter.
