Chapter 16
'Here we go again…' I thought as I shuffled my feet nervously.
I was currently sitting on my couch with my night guard uniform on, waiting for the time I would have to leave for work. I, of course, really didn't want to go back for yet another night, especially since the night before was supposed to be my final night.
'It's going to be really difficult this time…' I thought. 'Even more difficult than last night, and that was a complete nightmare.' I sighed as I grew even more nervous. 'I really don't want to go again… but I have to save the rest of the kids from that bastard.' I then growled a bit. 'I just hope this really will be the last damn night there, and the golden bastard will let the kids go.' I then smacked my hand on the couch and stood up. 'Only one way to find out.'
I then grabbed my cap off the couch and put it on, walking over to the door after I did so. I looked at the clock on my stove as I walked and saw that it was eleven thirty.
'I'll just go over early.' I thought as I opened my door. 'Sarah will be there to help me tonight.' I then walked out of my apartment. 'Maybe she can help me find a way to survive.'
I shut the door behind me.
'One. Last. Night.'
Freddy Fazebear's Pizzera, 11:45 pm
I shut my car door and walked to the entrance of the Pizzera yet another time. I glared up at the building as I walked towards it.
'I was hoping not to have to see this damn place again.' I thought as I entered the Pizzeria.
I then walked through the reception and out into the dining area, gaining an all too familiar sense of exposure and fear. I shook my head, trying to get the thoughts off my mind. I then turned and began to walk down the hallway to the security office, the fearful thoughts still lingering.
'Get it together Mike.' I thought as I shut my eyes and shook my head yet again. 'You need to focus.'
"Mike…" A familiar voice spoke up, interrupting my thoughts.
I opened my eyes to see Sarah in front of me and jumped back a bit, shocked by her sudden appearance.
"Sarah!" I shouted out of surprise, my heart racing. "Don't scare me like that!"
Sarah flinched a bit, hurt by my words. "Sorry…" She muttered as she looked down.
I then cringed a bit, feeling bad that I had just yelled at her.
"Its all right…" I replied and shook my head. "I'm just… jumpy."
"I know you are." Sarah replied as she looked up. "You have every reason to be jumpy when you're here." She then smiled a bit. "But don't be nervous."
"How can I not be?" I pointed out. "I mean, I don't even know if I'll live to see the light of day."
"Well remember this." Sarah stated. "You know every trick that these guys do during the night, and you have the strategy down."
"Yeah well…" I replied as I walked pass her towards the office. "You're not in control of Bonnie's suit anymore, and that means you can't help me."
"I can help more than you think." Sarah defended as she followed me into the security office. "I can help you spot out the animatronics and tell you when to shut the doors."
I gave her a quizzical look. "Can't you just push the buttons?" I asked.
Sarah shook her head. "No, since I'm not actually here in body." She explained.
"Yet I could hug you yesterday?" I pointed out.
"That was different." Sarah replied. "I don't really know why it works that way… but it does."
I shook my head. "Let's just forget about it." I stated as I sat down in my office chair. "And focus on how exactly I'll survive tonight." I then sighed. "I mean… all I have to do is survive an onslaught of metallic murder machines while being cooped up in this very small room."
Sarah looked down, seemingly a bit saddened by my words. Neither of us said anything for a bit after that, and I yet again began to think of what a shitty situation I was in.
I chuckled a bit. "How did we even get here Sarah…" I said as I leaned back in my chair.
"We both know the answer to that Mikey…" Sarah replied in a saddened tone.
I felt a twinge of sadness from her words, recalling that it was mostly my fault as to why we were in this situation, until I realized something.
"Well I know why I'm here." I stated as I looked over to Sarah. "But how exactly did you get here?"
Sarah raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" She asked.
"How exactly did you… come back?" I explained. "I mean, I know the golden bastard did this to you… but how did he bring your soul back?"
Sarah shrugged a bit. "I don't really know." She replied.
"Wait…" I said. "Since the bear doesn't have control over you anymore… can you tell me whatever you want now?"
Sarah's eyes widened a bit. "Actually yeah, I can." She stated.
I leaned forward in my chair a bit. "All right, good." I replied, smirking a bit. "Tell me everything you can about what happened here, from beginning to end."
"All right…" Sarah replied. "Um… where should I start?"
"Like I said, from the beginning." I stated.
"Okay." Sarah replied, seeming unsure. "Well… I guess I'll just start where I woke up after... dying."
I cringed at her words a bit, still feeling guilty for her death.
"I woke up back stage after it all happened, scared and confused." Sarah explained. "My body felt weird then and after a bit I realized that I wasn't in my own body, I was in Bonnie's." She shivered a bit. "It was terrible… I wanted to cry but I couldn't, I felt cold, and there was no way to warm me up." She then looked up at me. "But we were all there, me, Hannah, Colin, and Brandon."
"Oh right, those three." I replied.
Sarah gained a surprised look. "You know about them?" She said in a shocked tone.
"Yeah I know about them…" I stated, sighing a bit. "Hannah's Chica, Brandon's Foxy, and Colin is Freddy."
Sarah continued to look at me with wide eyes. "How did you find out about them?"
"Well, I started having weird dreams about them while I was here." I explained. "Like… remember when you found me passed out on the floor a couple nights ago?" Sarah nodded in response. "Well that was when I had the weird dream about Colin, where the golden bastard forced him to kill his own mother." I leaned back in my chair a bit. "I had three dreams like that where all three kids had to kill relatives, and it took me until yesterday to realize that the kids were still trapped in the suits."
Sarah was silent for a moment, presumably thinking it over, before she replied with.
"None of the past security guards ever knew about the kids other than the ones related to them." Sarah stated.
I shrugged a bit. "I don't know why I got the dreams." I replied. "But I bet it has something to do with the golden bear." I then realized something. "Besides… why are you so shocked that I knew about the other kids? I mean, you know I decided to come back in order to save them."
"I didn't know you actually knew their names." Sarah explained. "I thought you just found out on that night that there were other kids trapped here."
"Well I know a lot about this crap." I replied as I growled a bit. "I know enough that I came back tonight in order to save the poor kids." I then remembered something. "By the way… did you ever meet a kid called Max?"
Sarah tilted her head to one side. "Who?" She asked.
"Max." I said once again. "I had a dream about a kid Max being murdered too."
Sarah looked up in thought. "Um… I don't think I ever met a kid called Max here." She stated.
"How about something called the Marrionette?" I asked.
Sarah perked up a bit. "The Marrionette?" She echoed. "The Marrionette is-"
Sarah was suddenly cut off when the entire room when dark. My eyes widened as I realized what was happening and the lights soon turned back on.
"Mike!" Sarah shouted.
"Yes I know!" I quickly replied as I looked at the computer monitor.
My eyes widened as I saw that both Bonnie and Chica were no longer in view of the stage camera. I immediately began to flip through the camera's searching for where the animatronics had gone.
"Mike!" Sarah shouted and my head snapped up.
Sarah then pointed towards the left door. "Shut that door now!" She exclaimed.
I quickly shot up and slammed the door button on my left, the door plummeting to the ground after I did so. I then quickly clicked the light button and flinched a bit when I saw Bonnie's shadow on the wall.
"Mike your right!" Sarah shouted, making jump again.
I then dashed over to the right door and shut it quickly, once again pressing the light button to see if Sarah was right. My pupils shrunk as I saw that Chica was in fact right outside the door.
"Damn it!" I growled as I sat down. "They're already at the doors!"
"Put the camera on the Cove Mike!" Sarah ordered.
Once again startled, I quickly sat down and saw that Foxy wasn't showing his face just yet.
"Now keep an eye on both Freddy and Foxy!" Sarah shouted.
I glared at my sister, somewhat frustrated. "I know how to do this Sarah!" I shouted.
Sarah glared back. "Don't yell at me!" She growled. "I just want you to survive!"
I gained a small smile on my face when she said that. 'That's the Sarah I know…' I thought as I looked back to the computer monitor. 'Always bossing me around, and not taking any backtalk.'
"Just tell me when one of the annoying pests leaves." I replied.
Sarah glared but gained a smile. "I used to be one of those "pests" you know." She pointed out.
I grinned. "Exactly my point." I replied.
Sarah crossed her arms. "Least I'm not afraid of the dark!" She shot back, the smile still visible on her face.
I rolled my eyes. "That's a lie." I commented.
"No its not." Sarah then looked over to the left door. "Bonnie's gone."
I nodded and hit the door button, allowing the door to ascend. Sarah then gained a cocky expression and walked towards the door. I raised an eyebrow at her as she did so.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Proving that I'm right." She stated as she walked out into the dark hallway. "See? I'm not scared."
I rolled my eyes again. "Yeah yeah…" I replied. "Just get back in here."
"Why?" Sarah called out. "You scared by yourself?"
I sighed. "Just get back in here." I said.
Sarah poked her head into the room with a wide grin on her face.
"Told you." She said as she walked into the room.
I rolled my eyes and reached for the light button. "Yeah ye-"
I was cut off when the light revealed the face of Bonnie staring into the room. My eyes widened and I quickly slammed the door button again, having the door crash to the ground. I then sat back down, my heart racing like crazy.
Sarah looked up at me with a sheepish look. "Maybe we should focus more…" She said as her gaze fell to the floor.
I let out a long held breath. "Yeah…" I replied. "We probably should."
"Chica's gone by the way." Sarah stated.
I nodded and closed the door on my right, letting the door arise from the ground.
I then looked back to Sarah with an eyebrow raised. "How do you know when these guys are here and when they leave?" I asked.
"I've always been able to tell when these guys are near." She stated. "I mean I've been around them for how many years now?"
I nodded a bit. "That's true…" I replied as I looked back to the monitor.
I noticed that Foxy still hadn't poked his head out of his cove and felt a little relieved, though not very.
"All right…" I said as I looked over to Sarah. "Do you think this strategy will work out for the rest of the night?"
Sarah nodded. "Mhm, and Chica's in the kitchen by the way." She responded.
I then noticed that there was a distant noise of pots and pans being clattered around, signaling that Chica was in the kitchen.
"Good…" I stated as I looked down at the computer monitor.
"But don't let your guard down." Sarah advised and I looked up at her again. "I've never seen a sixth night before, and I don't know if there will be something new."
"Noted…" I replied, feeling somewhat on edge again.
'That's a wonderful thing to hear…' I thought as I continued to switch between where Freddy and Foxy were. 'These guys might get the drop on me even though Sarah can tell if they're outside the doors…'
I then looked down, feeling fear and uncertainty rise within me once again.
'Please just let me live through this last night…'
1:00 am
This night had been absolute hell on earth. The animatronics were on the offense about ninety percent of the time, hardly giving me any time to breath and eating away my power bar fast. Bonnie would pop up at the door every five minutes or so, forcing me to shut the door on her each time, while Chica had camped the door for 25 minutes straight, which destroyed my power bar. It was nice that Freddy hadn't popped up yet, but Foxy was extremely fast this time, if I didn't pay attention to him for a minute, he'd charge, and his charges were getting more and more sporadic, making it almost impossible to predict.
Now, I was just sitting there, with only 72% power left, shaking like a god damned leaf. Sure none of the animatronics were camping my doors at the minute, but I knew they were still out there, and they were planning another attack.
'Son of a bitch this isn't going well!' I thought as I flipped through the stage monitor and Pirate Cove.
Freddy was still up on stage, but Foxy was poking his head out from behind the curtains, which was also keeping me on edge. Sarah was still keeping track of when the animatronics were at the doors and when they had left the doors, and hell… I'd probably be dead by now if she wasn't here.
"Where they hell are they Sarah?" I asked as I continued to look at the two CAMs.
"I don't know…" Sarah replied in a concerned voice. "They haven't been here for ten minutes, and usually when they're gone for this long they're planning an attack."
"That's just great." I growled. "Even a little break is just a bad sign in this god damn place-"
My words cut off as I was horrified to see that Freddy was no longer up on stage. My blood grew cold as I heard his chilling laugh echo throughout the office.
Sarah's eyes widened. "Mike keep an eye on camera 4B!" She exclaimed.
I nodded. "I know I know!" I quickly replied as I switched CAMs.
I was relieved to see that Freddy was nowhere in sight.
I sighed a bit. "He isn't there." I stated.
"Good, now-" Sarah cut herself off as he eyes widened once again. "Bonnie's here!"
I quickly slammed the door button o my right as she said that, letting the door descend to the ground.
"Wait, she's gone!" Sarah exclaimed and I raised an eyebrow at her.
"She is?" I replied.
"Now she's back…" Sarah stated. "Now she's gone again…" Sarah gave me an urgent look. "She's trying to fake me out!"
I gritted my teeth. 'Damn little bunny's gonna be a real pain in the ass tonight.' I thought as I looked down at the monitor again.
My heart stopped as I saw Freddy's shadowed face staring straight into the camera. I quickly scrambled out of my chair and smacked the door button on my right, the door slamming to the ground after I did so.
"God damn it!" I shouted as I sat back down. "Can't you track Freddy?"
Sarah shook her head. "No! He's the only one I could never figure out!" She replied. "Bonnie's gone!"
A bit disoriented, I got up and clumsily hit the door button on my left, letting the door arise once again. I then slumped down n my chair, feeling a bit winded.
'Son of a bitch these bastards are really aggressive tonight!' I thought as I sat in my chair.
"Mike!" Sarah shouted. "Shut the door!"
I looked up, a bit confused, until I heard the clanking of metal feet sprinting towards the office. My eyes widened and I quickly shot up, about to press the door button.
But I was too late, and Foxy came barging into the office. I backpedaled as he stood in the middle of the office, practically snarling at me. I tripped and fell flat on my ass as he began to advance towards me, slowly raising his hook in the air. I crawled backwards until my back hit a wall, trapping me in a corner with the metallic beast. Foxy then raised his hook high in the air, preparing to strike, and I shielded my face with my arms, terrified of what the animatronic was about to do.
"Brandon!" Sarah shouted suddenly, making me flinch a bit.
I still held my hands in front of my face, preparing for Foxy to strike. But, to my surprise, it never came. I slowly unshielded my face and opened my eyes to see that Foxy was staring over at Sarah.
"Brandon…" Sarah repeated as she looked up at the animatronic with a pleading gaze. "Don't do this…"
Foxy gained a glare and a young boy spoke up in my head. 'Why shouldn't I?' He spoke. You know these night guards are only trouble! All they do is run in fear away from us, none of them even think about helping us!'
Sarah gained a bit of a glare herself. "You know that's not true!" She replied.
'Do I?' The voice of who I now assumed to be Brandon stated. 'Half the night guards that learned about what was happening here just up and left us! They ran away like cowards!'
'Coward…' I thought. That was becoming word I was hearing way too often when I was in this place, and it was also a word that defined me in that moment.
"He didn't run away!" Sarah said as she gestured to me.
'I know he didn't!' Brandon snapped. 'But look at him now!' Foxy turned to me with a glare on his face. 'He's on the ground trembling like the coward he is!'
Hearing the word coward again struck me like a bullet to my chest. I knew his words were true, and it made me feel all the more worse about myself.
'All anyone ever does is look at me in fear!' Brandon exclaimed as Foxy's glare grew more intense. 'Even if its during the day and I'm powered down for god's sake!' Foxy shut his eyes. 'Adults think I'm just some broken down hunk of junk… and kids think I'm some sort of monster that will hurt them…' Foxy looked away from me. 'I won't hurt them…' Foxy then grabbed his arms, as if there was a chill in the air. 'I-I didn't hurt them…' The animatronic fell to its knees. 'I-I didn't hurt anyone… I-I didn't h-hurt that kid… I-I didn't k-kill…'
Foxy hung his head, and in my head I heard the sound of Brandon sobbing. I felt a lot of sympathy for the kid, since I too had feared him, hell, I had feared my own sister. And it was all just because I had only seen them as a killer animatronic, and I never realized that they were in fact just kids. All of them, Foxy, Freddy, and Chica, they were all just frightened kids, forced to do things that they never wanted to do.
'They all had to kill people they loved…' I thought as I looked down. 'They've all only been looked at with fear by me… and many others.' I looked down. 'Then, when they found someone they thought wouldn't look at them in fear, and recognize who they were, that person just… cowered in fear.'
I looked up at Foxy as he sat there, his arms slumped as his head hung low, and I knew what I had to do. I slowly rose to my feet and walked over to the animatronic, standing above him. Foxy didn't even look up as I approached, but I ignored that.
I put my hand on the animatronic's shoulder. "It's all right Brandon…" I stated.
Brandon was silent for a moment, before Foxy looked up at me. 'It's not all right…' Brandon's voice said within my mind. 'Do you know what I've done? Do you know what he forced me to do?'
I shook my head. "It's doesn't matter what you have done." I replied. "Since you weren't in control when those things happened."
Foxy looked down. 'I don't know…' Brandon mumbled. 'I saw those things happen… and I felt myself biting on the head of that poor boy…' Foxy shut his eyes. 'I felt my hook plunge into my uncle's chest…'
"But you tried to stop it didn't you?" I pointed out. "And you didn't want to do it at all."
'Of course I didn't.' Brandon said as Foxy open his eyes. 'I never wanted to do anything like that… but he forced me to.'
"Exactly." I stated. "He forced you to do it, you didn't want to do it, but he controlled you in those situations." I rubbed Foxy's shoulder. "So it's his doing, not yours."
Foxy was silent for a moment, before he leaned forward and placed his head on my chest, giving me a small hug after he did so.
'I just…' Brandon trailed off. 'I wanna see my uncle again…' I heard a light sobbing noise in my head. 'I-I want all of this to end.' Foxy held me tighter. 'I d-don't want to kill a-anyone anymore…'
I wrapped my arms around Foxy and returned the hug. "Then don't…" I replied in a soothing voice. "Let go of everything that happened…" I rubbed his back. "The pain, the anger, the sorrow… everything." I looked down at him. "Just let it all go…" I then held him very tightly. "And be free…"
There was nothing but silence for a long while there while I simply held a crying child within my arms. Until, I no longer felt cold metal on my skin, but the warmth, of a human. I looked down to see that the animatronic was now laying on the ground motionless, and what had replaced it, was a young boy, crying on my chest as he held me tight.
I smiled and rubbed the boys back. "It's all right Brandon…" I stated. "You're free…"
Brandon continued to cry in my arms for a bit, before he looked up at me with tear stained eyes.
"Thank you…" He whispered, one last tear falling from his eye.
The boy then simply faded away right before my eyes, leaving just an empty space where I was previously holding him. I then stood there in silence as I stared at where the boy once was, and smiled, grateful that I had managed to free him before any more pain could be inflicted on him.
"Mike…" Sarah said and I looked up to see her giving me a somewhat dazed look. "You did it…"
I kept my smile. "No, we did it." I replied.
Sarah shook her head. "I barely did anything there, just stopped him from…" Sarah trailed off as she cringed a bit. "Killing you."
I shrugged a bit. "Well without that then he'd still be trapped in here…" I pointed out as I lightly kicked the powered down animatronic.
But, as I did so, the animatronic began to move, making me jump back in surprise. The animatronic rose to its feet and stared at me with emotionless eyes for a bit, before it idly walked out of the room through the door on its left.
I sighed in relief. "Holy shit…" I muttered. "I thought it was gonna swipe at me…"
"No…" Sarah spoke up and I looked over to her. "He is playing nice…"
I raised an eyebrow. "You mean the golden bastard?" I replied.
"Yes." Sarah replied as she gained a serious look. "I don't know why he is… but we can't let our guard down just yet."
"Well…" I began. "Maybe I could free the other two the same way I freed you and Brandon."
Sarah shook her head. "I wouldn't count on that Mikey…" She replied in a grim tone.
I raised my eyebrow again. "Why not?" I asked.
"Brandon has always been kind of rebellious…" Sarah explained. "Even after he was forced to kill his own uncle, so I think he was more open to being let free." She then gained a grave look. "But Colin and Hannah both… lost most of their emotion after they were forced to kill the ones they loved."
I stared at Sarah. 'Well, I guess that would happen to most people in that situation.' I thought. 'And I guess I was just kind of hoping for a quicker and easier way out of this whole thing rather than just surviving the whole night.' I looked down. 'If only that bastard didn't have them kill-'
My thoughts were interrupted as I suddenly realized something.
"Sarah…" I spoke up. "Why did the yellow bear force them to kill those people?"
Sarah seemed somewhat taken aback by the question and looked up in thought, presumably not knowing what to say exactly.
"Well…" She began. "I guess one way I could put it is that he wanted them to get "revenge"." Sarah's eyes then widened a bit. "Chica is back by the way."
It took me a moment to process that statement, but when I did I quickly rushed over to the right door and slammed the button, once again letting the door plummet to the ground.
"Thanks." I replied as I sat down at the monitor and began to watch the camera's again. "Just, continue."
"Mikey…" Sarah warned. "You really should be focusing on the doors and not me."
I waved my hand at her a bit. "I will I will…" I quickly replied. "Just please, I want to know what happened here."
Sarah stared at me for a moment, before she sighed. "All right…" She stated. "Just make sure your focus on keeping yourself alive while listening to me."
I nodded to her. "Don't worry." I assured. "I will."
"All right... well, in the beginning we all didn't know what was going on." Sarah explained. "Until he showed up... he told us that we were all brought for a purpose, and that purpose was revenge." Sarah looked down. "He said that we were all here to get revenge on those who were responsible for our deaths." Sarah then placed a hand on her arm. "We were all scared and confused, and we just kind of believed him, because we didn't know what else to do."
'Bastard...' I thought as I clenched my fist and looked back down at the monitor. 'Taking advantage of them at their weakest moment...'
"Bonnie's here..." Sarah stated.
I quickly slammed the door button and looked back at the monitor, seeing that Foxy was in fact still active.
I sighed. 'Of course I can't catch a break...' I thought.
"Then, he killed the man that killed us." Sarah stated. "I thought that would be the end..." Sarah shoulders slumped. "But it wasn't we were still stuck in the suits... and he said that it was because we weren't done yet." Sarah then shook her head. "Then he told us... that we had to kill the others who were responsible for our deaths..." Sarah looked up at me with a face of sorrow. "The ones who left us alone... and lost us to the killer."
My eyes widened as she said those words. 'Oh god...' I thought. 'So that's why he had them kill the ones they loved... because he blamed them for their deaths.'
"Chica's gone..." Sarah stated, snapping me out of my thoughts.
I slowly nodded a bit and opened the door on my right to save power.
"He made Brandon do it first..." Sarah went on. "I think it was because Brandon was the one who questioned him the most..." Sarah sighed. "After Brandon did it... he didn't question him again, and just became really silent."
I felt a twinge of sympathy in that moment. 'Well I guess just about anyone would do that if they were put in the same situation.' I thought.
"Next was Hannah." Sarah continued. "She wasn't rebelling against him too much, but she really wasn't up for killing anyone either." Sarah looked down. "After she killed her aunt... she just... shut down, even during the day she would just stay backstage, and the company just said she was having technical problems."
My shoulders sagged, becoming even more depressed after hearing that statement. But I had little time to think on it, because Foxy had managed to poke his head out and Freddy was on my right, forcing me to shut the door again.
"Then came... Colin." Sarah said as she rubbed her arm. "He never did anything when night guards came, he would just stay inactive every night." Sarah was silent for a moment, before she went on. "But then he ordered Freddy to... kill his own mother." Sarah hung her head. "He was absolutely devastated after he was forced do the act... but whenever a new night guard came, he would just take his anger and frustration out on them, he killed a lot of people..."
I looked down at the keyboard. 'I guess he took it the hardest...' I thought. 'I don't blame him though, having to go through that amount of pain would change anyone...'
"That's basically the gist of it..." Sarah stated. "And I think you already know about what he tried to make me do."
I nodded slightly, still thinking over some of the stuff she said. "Yeah, I think I get that." I replied.
"Bonnie's gone by the way." Sarah stated.
It took me a moment to process what she said since I was still in a daze, but when I did I quickly opened the door on my left. I then shook my head in an attempt to clear it, trying to focus on the task at hand.
I then began to check the monitors once again, trying to secure my safety. But, out of the corner of my eye I saw that Sarah was still looking down. I looked over to see that she had a very melancholy look on her face as her shoulders slumped.
I gave her a sympathetic look. "Don't worry Sarah..." I spoke up and she looked up at me. "I'm going to save them..."
"I know you will..." She replied. "I just wish that none of this ever happened."
"I know..." I replied. "But I'm going to make the best of this and free them, so that you can all move on from this to be at peace."
Sarah's face brightened and a bit. "Promise?" She asked.
I nodded and smiled. "I promise." I stated.
Sarah smiled back, no longer showing any signs of sadness on her face.
My smile faltered a bit and I looked down at the monitor to hide it.
'Now I just have to survive the night in order to keep that promise...'
2:41 am
It definitely wasn't easy to keep my previously made promise, because dear god... this night was just complete and utter hell, maybe even worse than that. The animatronics just continued to get more and more relentless as the night went on, to the point where I was now at 40% and hell, I was surprised I even managed to save that much power. It was probably due to the fact that Sarah was helping me, but even she was getting a little on edge.
But, right now, the situation was that Chica was camping the door on my right, Bonnie wasn't anywhere to be seen, Foxy was peeking his head out, and Freddy was playing his chime in the kitchen.
I just kept switching the cam's between CAM 1C and CAM 4B, since one was Pirate cove, and the other was the spot where Freddy could potentially get into the office.
'God damn it!' I thought as I gritted my teeth. 'Why can't this night go any faster?' I looked down at my power to see that it was at 39%. 'At this rate I'll be out of power way before six.'
"Bonnie's here!" Sarah shouted, interrupting my thoughts.
I growled and slammed the door button on my left, securing my safety. I then looked back to the cam's and saw that Foxy was preparing to make a run for it.
'Why does that golden bastard have to control that suit?' I thought as I glared at the screen. 'I already freed Brandon, the least the bear could do is give me a break!'
"Chica's gone!" Sarah exclaimed and I quickly opened the door to my left.
I then sat back down in my chair and saw that Foxy was still preparing to run for it.
'Shit...' I thought. 'He'll be running here pretty soon...'
I then flipped to CAM 4B and my eyes widened as Freddy's shadowed face was visible on screen. I quickly shut the door on my right, keeping him out of the room.
I then looked to Sarah who was giving me a questioning gaze. "Freddy is outside." I stated as I sat back down in my chair.
"Oh..." Sarah replied, looking somewhat ashamed.
I had hated that Sarah couldn't keep track of Freddy, though it was understandable since he was pretty difficult to track it still would have been nice if I didn't have to worry about him as much.
"Bonnie's gone." Sarah stated.
I quickly stood up and opened the door on my left, saving more power, I then sat back down in my chair and was surprised to see that Freddy was now gone. I quickly opened the door on my right to save even more power and sat back down in my chair.
"Mike-" Sarah was about to exclaim but was cut off by the sound of metal feet running across the ground.
I quickly stood up and shut the door on my left again, hearing a 'BANG' as I did so. I then heard Foxy begin to barrage the door with his fist and hook, making me slightly nervous. I sat back down as his assault began to die down, forgetting that Sarah was about to inform me of something before Foxy's attack.
"Mike!" Sarah exclaimed. "Chica's at the door!"
My eyes widened yet again and I leap over to the door button on my right, but I was too late. Chica's arm came out from the darkness and she grabbed the wall, pulling herself into the office. I let out a small yelp of surprise and backpedaled away from the animatronic as she stood to her full height.
Chica then stared down at me with cold, dead eyes, making a chill run down my spine. I began to back away from the animatronic, but this only urged her to step forward. She then gained a bit of a glare as she continued to advance towards me, but she was stopped when Sarah stood in front of her.
"Hannah don't!" Sarah shouted.
Chica just shoved Sarah out of the way as she continued to walk towards me. My back hit a wall yet again and I was once again trapped by an animatonic.
Chica narrowed her eyes. 'Why did you get to live!' A young girl's voice growled in my head as Chica stepped closer. 'Why were you able to keep the one you love!' Chica then grabbed my throat and hosted me up in the air, making me yelp in surprise as I grabbed her arm to try and keep myself from choking. 'Why were you able to save her!' Chica's glare intensified. 'Why couldn't my aunt be the one! Why couldn't she see through this metal heap of junk!.' Chica began to tighten her grip on my throat, cutting air off to my lungs. 'Why couldn't she free me! Why did she have to be scared! WHY DID I HAVE TO KILL HER!?'
I began to hear light sobbing within my head as Chica's grip got even tighter. 'Why couldn't you have been here sooner!' The girl bellowed. 'Why couldn't you stop him sooner! Why couldn't you save us and stop us from killing the ones we love!' Chica began to tremble. 'Why!?'
"I-I'm... ack! S-sorry!" I choked out, starting to lose my strength.
Chica glared. 'No you're not!' The girl shouted. 'Not yet!'
"Hannah stop!" Sarah shouted and the animatronic looked back to her. "Killing him won't bring your aunt back!"
The girl growled as Chica looked back to me. 'I don't care!' She shouted. 'He needs to pay!' Chica began to tremble again. 'Someone needs to pay for this!' I heard light sobbing in my head once again. 'Someone has to pay for all the pain we went through! Someone...' Chica's grip began to falter. 'S-someone...'
Chica suddenly released me and I fell to the ground, gasping for air. Chica fell to her knees as she brought her hands up to her eyes as I heard the girl begin bawling. I sat there on the ground, trying to regain my breath as I stared at the weeping animatronic with a look of sympathy.
'Each one of these guys went through so much hell...' I thought as I continued to stare at the animatronic. 'Something I could have probably stopped if I had just shown up earlier...' I looked down. 'Why am I such a coward? Why could I have just come back here and found out this was all happening sooner?' I looked up at Chica. 'Maybe I could have stopped all of this before it happened...'
I sighed, knowing that it was just wistful thinking. I mean I could have come back here a couple years earlier than I did, but I don't know if I would have been able to figure out that all of this was happening.
'It doesn't matter now...' I thought. 'All that matters is what I can do here, and now.'
I slowly crawled over to Chica and placed my hand on her shoulder, making her flinch slightly.
I the gave her a sorrowful look. "I am so sorry I wasn't here to stop all of this..." I apologized.
The animatronic just shook its head and response as she kept her hands on her eyes.
I frowned slightly. "But there's nothing I can do about that now... there's nothing anyone can do." I then rubbed her shoulder a bit. "As much as we would like to change it... we can't." I then patted her shoulder. "But you can't dwell on the past, you have to focus on your future, and try to move on from this terrible event."
I heard a sniffle withing my head. 'How c-can I?' The girl stuttered. 'I've gone through so much pain... and it still hurts really bad.'
I gave her a sympathetic look. "I know..." I replied. "And it will hurt for a little while longer, I'm not asking you to forget everything that happened here, but since you can't change what happened, the best you can do is grow from it, and move on." I then placed my other hand on her opposite shoulder. "So just move on from all of this, and be free of this hell."
I then smiled a bit. "Just let go..."
Silence fell upon the room for a long while, until Chica's body slowly powered down and fell to the ground, leaving me to stare at a young girl wiping her eyes of tears. The girl looked up with tear stained eyes and a solemn look. I smiled, trying to cheer up the girl a bit.
The girl gave a small smile in response.
"Thank you..." She said softly.
The girl then slowly faded from the room as she too...
Became free.
A/N: There you are guys... yet another chapter, granted it did take two months but hey, it wasn't as bad as last time right?
Note this chapter might have a couple mixed up things in it, I recently got a laptop (which is awesome if i might add) and it doesn't have microsoft word on it, and I haven't payed for it yet because its like 200 bucks to get microsoft office...
We also managed to reach 100 reviews! Which is surprising because I haven't been getting too many comments recently, but few is better than none.
Anyways, we're almost to the end of the story, only like... maybe 3 chaps to go. I hope you guys have enjoyed the ride so far.
Thank you all for reading this and I'll see you in the next chapter...
