It gets kind of lonely here you know?

I'm starting to enjoy when you guys visit… even if it is just to listen to a story.

But I shouldn't be complaining... no one wants to hear that.

I'll just continue…

Chapter 8

I fell backwards in my chair, the back of my head hitting the floor as I did so. Holding the back of my head in pain I sat up and started to scoot away from Bonnie. But my back met a wall and I was trapped.

'Mike!' I heard Sarah's distressed voice in my head.

I looked up to see Bonnie advancing towards me. She then reached out her metallic hand and I flinched away from it. She then brought her hand back and gave me a concerned look.

'Mike, it's me! Sarah!' Sarah shouted in my mind.

I was still a bit skeptical, my mind was trying to process what was happening but the fear and head trauma wasn't helping. I backed even further back into the corner I was in, trying to get away from her.

Bonnie then slowly knelt down.

'Mike, its okay… you don't have to be afraid.' Sarah's voice soothed me a bit.

Bonnie then slowly reached her hand out towards me and I started to come back to reality. My mind started to clear and I then realized that it was Sarah in front of me, not Bonnie.

"Sarah?" I asked.

Sarah then nodded, her robotic joints making noise as she did so.

'Its me Mike…" She replied soothingly.

I then reached out and grabbed her hand. She then helped me up off the floor and I stood there, still shaking a bit. I picked up my office chair and placed it near the desk. I then placed my head in my hand and sighed, sitting down in the chair while I did so.

"How much of a wimp am I?" I asked to no one in particular.

'Your not a wimp Mikey…' My sister tried to argue but I snorted at her statement.

"Yeah right… I cower in fear at my own sister's appearance." I replied.

'Well my appearance has changed a lot Mikey… a lot of people cower in fear when they see me…' Sarah commented in a bit of a sad tone.

I looked up at her to see that she was looking down with what I assumed to be a sad expression.

"It bothers you doesn't it?" I asked.

Sarah nodded. 'At times yes… I always remember people having a smile on their face when they saw me… now its only during the day when they're happy to see me.' I then heard what I could only make out to be some type of sniffle sound emit from the animatronic. 'Now most of the time I see fear… *sniff* and horror…' Sarah then brought both of her hands up to her face and fell to her knees. 'Even from my own brother!'

Noises of what I can only describe to be someone sobbing over a radio came from her. She was now on her knees, bawling her eyes out.

I quickly rushed over to her and wrapped my arms around her neck to form a hug. She responded my wrapping her arms around me, doing the same. We know stood/knelt in an embrace.

'I can't cry Mikey!' She shouted in my head as she cried. 'I c-can't feel! *sob* All I feel-l i-is pain… and s-suffering.' She then looked up at me. 'B-but now you're here… and I feel… I-I feel happy… I feel sa-afe… I feel like I'm no longer alone…' She croaked. She then held me tighter and looked back down, shutting her eyes in the process. 'But now he wants me to kill you! H-he wants me to kill my own b-brother! Because he says y-you deserve it!' She cried, her grip tightening even more.

It was getting a bit more difficult to breath but I didn't care. I also tightened my grip on her and whispered.

"Shhhhhhhh… its okay Sarah… I'm here…" I whispered soothingly. "I'm not going to leave you ever again… I promise…"

She looked up at me, her eyes seemed to show sorrow but with a hint of hope.

'R-really?' She asked.

I held her close and rubbed her back, it felt a bit weird to try and comfort a robot but I didn't really care.

"Really really, I'd never leave my little sis…" I replied. I then smiled and loosened my grip on Sarah a bit.. "Besides, what would you do without me?" I asked.

She chuckled a bit and I saw her smile. 'I think you need me a little more when stuck in this place.' She remarked as she too loosened her grip a bit.

I chuckled. "Well it's not a competition." I replied.

'Yeah… but if it was I'd win' She stated.

'There's the old Sarah I know…' I thought as hugged her tight.

"I love you little sis…" I said softly.

Sarah then tightened her grip. 'I love you two big brother…' She replied.

As we continued to hug each other something behind Sarah caught my eye. I looked to see that in the right doorway something was peering in. It took me a second to realize it was Freddy. Freddy was staring at the scene with a solemn look, but I could have sworn I saw a bit of sorrow in his expression.

Startled, I let go of Sarah and stepped back. Sarah gained a confused look and stood up, blocking my view of Freddy.

'What is it?' She asked.

I looked behind Sarah to see that Freddy had disappeared. Sarah looked behind her and then back to me.

'Did you see something?' She asked, a bit distressed now.

I shook my head to clear it. "No, it was just my imagination…" I replied.

'Are you sure? Because you shouldn't take anything for granted in this place… especially at this hour.' Sarah warned.

"No, no, I'm sure it was nothing." I assured her.

She gave me a skeptical look for a second, before replying with. 'Alright…'

I then sat back down in the chair and looked at the time on the computer monitor. It was about 12:30 and I had 95% battery left. A thought then came to my mind.

"Um Sarah?" I spoke.

Sarah looked over to me with a questioning gaze and I took it a sign to continue.

"What happened last night? When you left?" I asked.

Sarah looked down and stayed silent for a moment, before she spoke.

'I lost control…' She replied.

I tilted my head a bit. "What do you mean?" I asked.

'I… I wasn't exactly supposed to be there…' She said ominously.

"Why? Can't you go anywhere?" I asked.

'Well… 'he' didn't want me to talk to you yet… he wanted me to wait another day.' She explained adding emphasis to the word "he". She then looked up at me. 'But I had to see you again. And when he found out I disobeyed him… he let 'Bonnie' take control of the suit.'

I gave her a puzzled look, still not quite getting it.

Sarah noticed this and continued. 'Its like… he lets me be in control of this suit… but if I disobey him… he doesn't let me have control over it anymore.' She explained.

I then understood what she was trying to say, and it made my blood boil.

"So he is controlling you?" I asked, rage starting to build.

Sarah nodded. 'I would never attack you… but if he lets Bonnie get control then… she will stop at nothing to stuff you in a suit.' Sarah explained.

I then bawled up my hand into a fist, and smacked it down on the desk.

"So that bastard has this whole place under control, and he will get his way no matter what…" I said through clenched teeth. "When I find the bastard I'm gonna put him in a suit!"

Sarah seemed to shift uncomfortably when I said that, as if she knew something that I didn't.

'We're just lucky that he wants me to be here right now…' Sarah commented.

"So I can't even talk to my sister without his f****** approval!?" I shouted in rage.

'Mikey, please. Don't get angry, that's what he-' Sarah started but was cut off by something. She held her head in pain and fell to one knee.

I quickly rushed over to her. "Sarah!" I shouted.

Sarah held up a hand to stop me. 'No Mikey! Stay back!' She shouted in my head. She then quickly stood up. 'He says my time is up, I can't be here any longer or I'll lose control!' She exclaimed as she started to walk towards the left doorway.

"Wait Sarah!" I shouted as I started to follow her.

Sarah quickly stopped me. 'Mike I know you want me to stay, I really want to stay but I can't so please… stay in here where it's safe…' She pleaded as she backed out of the doorway.

I looked up into her pleading eyes, and I knew that she was only trying to protect me. I sighed.

"Alright Sarah…" I replied in a defeated tone.

Sarah then started to walk down the left hallway but she turned her head to look at me one last time.

'Stay safe Mikey…' She said.

I nodded. "As long as you stay safe as well…" I replied.

Sarah then nodded back and walked down the left hallway, leaving the office in silence… other than the annoying fan of course.

I walked over to my chair and slumped down in it. 'I really hate this damn place…' I thought as I looked up at the ceiling. 'The more I stay here the worse my situation turns out to be…' I sighed. 'But I can't leave… I have to stay here for Sarah… and the safety of the kids of course.' I then smacked my head down on the table. 'Why me?'

At this point I was getting a little agitated, and the increasingly annoying 'wrrrrrrrr' of the fan was starting to tick me off. I looked up at the fan and glared at it. 'I should really turn that damn thing off, its giving me a headache.' I thought. I was about to get up and turn it off but a new noise emitted from an unknown source.

"Dum-diddly-dum-de-dum"

I heard Foxy's scratchy robotic voice sing. My heart skipped a beat and my eyes widened. I quickly grabbed the mouse of the computer and clicked on "CAM 1C". I froze. Foxy was not only visible, he was standing outside of the cove. His head was tilted at a ninety-degree angle and it looked like he was advancing towards the left hallway.

At that moment I realized where I was and what was happening around me. I quickly checked the cameras to see that Chica was in the restrooms, Freddy was up on stage, Sarah was sitting on a table backstage, and Foxy was in the same place.

My heart filled with fear and my adrenaline pumping I swallowed hard.

'I hate my job…'

2:30 am

I had managed to fend off the animatronics for about two hours now… (Chica being the most annoying of course.) Foxy had charged at me once or twice but I managed to keep him out. Chica would either be in the kitchen or camping the left door. Sarah was sitting back stage, staring at her bracelet. It looked like she was in deep thought.

I was thankful that Sarah was in control tonight, which meant I had one less animatronic to worry about.

'Okay… if I keep going like this I should be golden…' I thought as I studied the cameras, searching to see if any of the animatronics were about to attack. But to my fortune it seemed that Foxy was still in his cove and Chica was in the kitchen. I checked my battery level to see that it was about 71%.

'I think I'm gonna make it tonight…' I thought.

But… unfortunately… I was really good at jinxing myself….

"He-he…" A demonic laughed echoed through the room.

I instantly froze. 'Shit…' I then checked all the cameras to see if anything was out of the ordinary. When I clicked on "CAM 1A" my heart stopped.

Freddy was no longer on the stage.

I rapidly clicked through all the cameras, trying to find where the bear went. When I couldn't find him I got up and slammed my fist on the left door button and rushed over to the right door button to do the same. I then sat back down in the chair. I checked the cameras to the hallways to see that there was no one in sight.

'Where the hell is he!?' I thought in a distressed manner.

I clicked the lights for both doors but I didn't see him in the windows or any shadows in the hallway. I clicked through all of the cams again until I landed on "CAM 1B". I noticed that in a shaded place the dinning area there were two small lights. I recognized those lights to be like the lights in my most recent dream where Freddy was chasing me. I realized that those lights weren't mere lights… they were eyes.

'There he is…' I thought as I stared at the lights.

As I stared at them I started to feel a little… unnerved. I never really liked being around Freddy… especially when I was a kid. I just felt like he was always… planning something, or he was about to hurt me. Hell he even gave me some nightmares as a kid. Though I did grow to like him when I was young he still always made me feel, paranoid.

'Why does he have to be active?' I asked to no one in particular. 'I really don't want to be here with him wandering around.' I thought. 'I guess that's what the phone guy meant when he said things were going to get real…'

The camera feed to the dining area faltered for a second, and when it came back I couldn't see the lights anymore.

My eyes widened. 'Shit he's on the move!' I thought, my heart starting to pound. I quickly flipped through the cameras but I couldn't find Freddy for a little bit. That was until I landed on the cam that showed the entrance to the rest rooms.

I spotted the lights again, and a shadow loomed out of the girl's bathroom. The image sent a shiver down my spine. 'He really knows how to be creepy doesn't he…' I thought as I stared at the shadow. I then decided to check the other cameras. As I scanned through all the feeds I didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

That was until I landed on "CAM 4A". I jolted my head back a bit when I saw Chica right in front of the camera, her head was tilted to the side and she was staring off to the right.

'Why does this damn bird always have to cause problems?' I thought. I then clicked on "CAM 4B" and was met with another unpleasant surprise. I saw a silhouetted figure staring into the camera, its face mere inches away from it. It took me a moment to realize that it had the shape of Freddy and my pulse skyrocketed.

Fearing that death was close I quickly got up and slammed my hand down on the door button to my right. I then sat back down in the chair, shaking vigorously.

'Now I have the bird, the fox, and the god damn bear to worry about.' I thought. I then jolted a bit when I realized something. 'The fox!' I thought out of distress and I quickly clicked on "CAM 1C". What I saw made my heart stop for a second.

Foxy was gone.

I bolted upright when I heard the sound of metallic footsteps approaching the left door. I leapt over to the left door and hit the button to the door. The door came down with a 'CLANG', signaling my safety. But not even a second later I heard a 'THUD' of something colliding with the door. Then I heard the banging of a metal fist assaulting the door and the scrape of a hook gliding across it.

I sat back down in the chair, shaking like a leaf. I held myself trying to gain a shred of comfort as I thought about what was happening around me.

'Don't get in… please don't get in…' I thought as I shook. Tears started to form a bit in my eyes as I thought about what could have just happened. But the thing that really scared me the most was… that this seemed to be a coordinated attack, not just one animatronic appearing randomly, but three of them attack at practically the same time.

After a little bit the assault on the door died down and I gained the courage to look at the cameras again. I flipped through them to see that Foxy went back into the cove, Freddy went back into the dinning area, and Chica was nowhere to be found.

I slowly rose from my chair and pressed the door button on my left. The door rose and I somewhat expected an animatronic to be waiting on the other side. But to my fortune there was no animatronic in sight. I then went over to the right door and I was about to open it when I stopped.

'No… not yet…' I thought. I then clicked the button to the light and looked over to the window. Chica's face became visible and she happened to be staring right at me with her jaw hanging loosely. I stumbled back in surprise and almost lost my balance, but I managed to grab the desk before I fell.

I stared at Chica for a moment, before I shut off the light and sat back down in my chair. I brought my hand up to my face and wiped my eyes. I then took my cap off and ran my fingers through my hair.

'They're getting smarter…' I thought.

'And I don't know if I can hold them off for much longer…'

4:00am

I was staring at Pirate Cove. Surprisingly the Fox hadn't poked his head out since his last appearance, but I was still a bit skeptical. I then clicked on the camera to the restroom to see that Chica was still there. She had been there for the past half an hour just staring at the camera. Freddy's lullaby was still emitting from "CAM 6" so I knew he was still there. It scared the hell out of me when I first heard it though.

But the strange thing was that for the past hour or so… no animatronic had tried to attack me. I didn't know whether to be relieved… or paranoid.

'What are they up to…?' I wondered as I stared at Chica. 'Are they planning for another attack? Or is my luck changing for the better for once?'

How many times must I jinx myself?

I clicked on 'CAM 2B' and saw something… peculiar. Instead of the regular Freddy poster on the wall there was a new poster. It took me a minute to realize that the poster now showed the face of the golden bear I had seen in my dreams.

'What the hell?' I thought. I then rubbed my eyes and looked away from the monitor. 'I think this place is starting to get to me…' I thought.

Suddenly my head started to ache. I heard a weird robotic voice in my head but it was speaking to low and fast for me to understand. Images of the animatronics started to flash through my mind and the words 'ITS ME' showed up.

I held my head as it pounded and the images kept flashing. I shook my head and shut my eyes trying to stop the pain. The images flashed at a faster pace and the voice got louder and louder. The pain was starting to get unbearable and my head felt like it was about to explode.

'Make it stop, make it stop, MAKE IT STOP!' I shouted in my mind, begging for this mental trauma to end.

Then, it stopped just like that. I shook my head again and blinked a couple of times.

'What the hell was-' I began to think, but my train of thought was interrupted when I looked up and saw the golden bear.

I froze and my heart stopped. The bear was sitting on the floor of the office with its arms hanging limply to its side, its jaw open and hanging, and its legs curled up in front of it. Its black, hollow eyes were staring straight into my soul and my breath rate rose.

'H-how wh-what w-when?' I thought, my mind trying to process what was in front of me.

A chuckle emitted from the bear, the chuckle sounded as if it was from a child. The bear then started to raise from its sitting position its head still to the side. My mind was telling me to run but I remained rooted to my chair out of fear. The bear then advanced towards me its metal feet dragging on the ground. Its head then stood upright and it stare down at me as it reached the front of the desk.

I wanted to run but it was as if its gaze locked my joints and all I could do is stare up at it in fear.

The bear's mouth began to move and I heard its deep demonic voice.

"We meet at last…"
