In the Dark of the Night

A/N: I didn't think this story would get as far as it has to be honest. A few more characters are being introduced this time around but they're only minor and most likely won't last long. As usual I only own Larry, Crackers, Leo (who plays a major role this time around), and the kits. Everyone else belongs to Scott Cawthon. Enjoy everyone!

Leo was far from nervous, he was terrified realizing where his new "friends" had decided to take him. He looked around nervously as they approached Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, and realized that if they snuck in his brother would find out where he was. Looking down at his phone he realized that he had a dozen missed calls, and numerous texts from his concerned brother. Normally since it was a Friday night Mike would have brought Leo with him, but something was going on in the building that made the youngest get left behind at home. He wasn't happy about it, but maybe there was actually a good reason as to why.

"SO what's the game plan?" one of the boys asked.

The leader of the group turned towards the others, "Isn't it obvious? They say this place is haunted, and that at night the animatronics come to life. We're going to find out for ourselves, and of course help ourselves to somethings to help thin out their inventory."

"Great idea Kayla" another member of the group laughed.

Leo looked uneasy, "M-Maybe we should go somewhere else! I heard that the animatronics will attack anyone after hours. Something about they see you as an endoskeleton without a suit."

"Are you chickening out on us?" Grant demanded an answer.

Leo shook his head, "No of course not!"

"Good" Kayla smirked and pushed the boy to a window, "Cause you're going in first. Consider it initiation into our little group."

Leo gulped and looked through the window and noticed that it peered into the main room. He tried to remember where the cameras were and felt dread start to weigh on him as Kayla started to work the window open. Before he knew it he was thrown through the now open window and into the main room. He looked around and noticed that Freddy and the others weren't at the show stage, which meant they were probably somewhere else in the building. He watched as Kayla, Grant, and Alex crawl through the window and look around their new surroundings. Kayla pulled out a flashlight and aimed it at the show stage, "So where are the creepy robots anyways?"

"Probably screwing one another" Grant laughed and pulled out his own flashlight, "So where to go first."

Alex shrugged and snuck towards the prize corner and started to rummage through the prizes that were in the display, "Man they've got some good shit in here!"

Leo watched as everyone helped themselves to the prizes behind the counter, and internally sighed thankful that no one was around. Part of it left him disturbed that not even the puppet seemed to be in the prize corner. Opening the puppets box he noticed that it was indeed empty, "Where is it…"

"Doesn't matter, you can wait for it" Alex laughed and pushed Leo into the puppet's box, "You are the weakest link goodbye!"

"Wait don't!" Leo cried only to have the box closed on him.

Kayla and Grant laughed, "What a crybaby, now let's go find some more things to swipe and maybe vandalize before we ditch this place and he gets all the blame."

"Agreed" Alex grinned and followed his companions.

Meanwhile in the office Mike groaned that the cameras had suddenly gone offline, "Damn it, what's wrong with them now?!"

Toy Freddy looked at the monitor, "Maybe Spingtrap is trying to throw us off guard."

"It's possible" Chica sighed and noticed the puppet leaning out the door, "Is something wrong?"

"Can anyone hear them?" Mari asked.

Bonnie and Bon perked up almost as if something had been drawn to their attention. They could hear various voices belonging to a few kids, but one drew their attention the most since it was crying and in distress. From the sounds of the cries it was coming from the Prize Corner. As they continued to listen they heard the other children laughing on how they would go back for their friend after they finished vandalizing the place. From the sounds of it they were bullies, and whoever was trapped in the prize corner was terrified for their life.

"New victims" a voice laughed darkly from somewhere in the building.

Bon jolted at the voice, "Springtrap is moving already….I know why the cameras are offline now!"

"Why's that?" Mike asked.

Bonnie looked at the security guard, "There are people in the building. From the sounds of it four kids who are just looking for trouble. Three of them are in the one hallway, and one is apparently trapped in the Prize Corner. Mari, if one of us go with you can you unlock the box and get them out of there? They sound extremely distressed."

Mari nodded, "Of course."

"Hold on" Bon perked up once more, the kids seemed to have gotten the other one out of the box. They sound terrified though, like they really don't want to be there…or they got pulled into the wrong crowd."

"We need to get the camera's back online" Mike groaned and started to look through a few manuals, "Those kid's lives depend on it."

Everyone nodded and started to do what they could to get the systems back in order. Meanwhile Leo followed his tormenters further into the building as they looked around for more things to humor themselves with. They walked past a stage that read 'Larry the rapping eagle', and noticed that just like the other animatronics it was missing as well. Leo started to feel uneasy since he remembered that Larry had been sent away for a revamp, and how Mike had mentioned that an entity had gone with it. Looking up to the camera he noticed that it wasn't actually on, and it made his stomach sick realizing that no matter what no one probably knew that there were people in the building. If anything now he hoped that maybe Bon or Bonnie had heard the voices and alerted Mike that there were people in the building. Part of him would do anything just to catch a glimpse of the toy rabbit's shadow, it would give some much needed relief. He was on edge, and the lack of any sign of Freddy and the others was not helping his uneasiness at all.

Alex looked into one of the rooms, "Hey I found that eagle!"

Kayla looked at it, "Doesn't look too impressive."

"He looks so ugly" Grant responded and poked the animatronic.

Leo looked as the animatronics eyes changed, "We….we should get out of here."

"What the hell is your problem Leo!?" Kayla snapped.

"Hello children" Springtrap spoke through Larry, "Tell me, are you ready to DIE!?"

"Oh. Shit!" Alex, Kayla, and Grant uttered before screaming and flying out the door.

Leo rushed out right behind them wishing that he had never followed them to the building. He ran as fast as his legs could carry him, but to no avail soon he found himself and the others trapped in a corner, with nowhere to escape or hide. Fear started to crawl up his spine as Larry looked at the four of them, almost deciding on who he wanted to kill first.

"Kill Leo first!" Kayla started and pushed Leo in front of them.

Leo looked back at the group, "Why!?"

"Cause you're the weakest link, buh-bye!" Grant spoke and was about to flee until he was tripped by Alex, "The hell man!?"

Springtrap watched amused as three of the children fought amongst themselves on who would actually escape alive. Then there was the boy he assumed was Leo who just stood there looking at him, fear was evident in his eyes. The shadow laughed from within his controlled vessel and started to reach for the boy. Just as he was about to touch the boy, the child smirked slightly and ducked under the animatronic and got past them. He made a mental note that if he survived the night to thank Chica for showing him the trick on how to get past an animatronic that was the same size as the restored models. Quickly the three fighting kids followed suit and they started to run to another part of the building.

"What the hell was that!?" Alex asked freaking out.

Kayla looked back realizing that Larry was right on their heels, "Who cares! Just keep running!"

"Yeah, well where to!?" Grant snapped, "We should have never come here!"

Leo caught his breath as they made it back into the main room, "We….we can't outrun him…..I…I told you this place was a bad idea!"

The four children looked on in fear as Larry approached them his eyes changing to reveal that Spingtrap was in full control. The animatronic grabbed Leo by the throat and started to squeeze relishing the sounds that the child made in an attempt to scream for help. Leo weakly grabbed at the animatronic's hands which caused Larry to come to for just a moment and drop the child. Leo took the chance afforded to him and bolted towards the other hall, thankful the others had managed to catch up with him.

"Where are we going!?" Kayla asked running after Leo.

Leo stopped and finally took a stand waiting for Larry to show up once more. He knew he was most likely close enough to the office that if something were to happen at least he'd be close to his older brother. He closed his eyes as he heard the animatronic eagle get closer once more and was prepared to accept his fate. Pulling out his phone he decided to make one last call. With shaking hands, he dialed Mike's number and tried to bite back his tears as he heard the phone ring down the hall.

"Leo?! Where are you?!" Mike almost sounded like he was in a panic.

Leo sniffed and wiped his eyes, "M-Mike I'm scared…H-He's coming to get me…"

"Who!? Who's coming to get you!? Leo don't you dare hang up on me!" Mike started to plead.

Leo started to cry, "Y-You won't get mad? P-promise you won't get mad!"

"Leo I won't get mad, where are you…please tell me!" Mike responded picking up on his brother's distress.

"L-look down the hall….j-just look real quick" Leo sniffed.

Mike dropped his phone and peered out the doorway and saw the faint outline of his little brother, "LEO!"

Before Mike could do anything Goldy flew past him and quickly got in front of the children as Larry approached them. Leo looked on in surprise as Golden Freddy got in front of him and the three other kids, "G-Gold…."

"What on earth are you children even doing here?" Golden asked disappointment evident in his voice, "Your brother has been worried sick about you, Leo."

"I….I….I fell in with the wrong crowd…" Leo looked down and felt a hand on his shoulder, "Goldy?"

"I will buy you time. I need you to do something for me though in return." The golden bear spoke.

Leo nodded, "A-Anything! Just name it."

Leo watched as the golden bear took off his beloved hat and bowtie, "Please make sure that Mari gets these. Now hurry, GO!"

Leo nodded and started to run down the hallway with the others behind him who were now to the point of dazed and traumatized. As soon as the children made it into the office Mike slammed the door shut and pulled his little brother close to him, "Leo…what were you thinking? I told you this place is dangerous right now…"

"Y-You're not mad?" Leo asked wiping his eyes some.

Mike sighed and started to rub his little brother's back, "I'm furious, but I'm more relieved that you're safe. Leo please next time I tell you not to come here listen."

Leo nodded and then turned to the puppet and held out the bowtie and top hat, "Goldy said to give these to you. I don't know why though."

Marionette picked up the two articles and collapsed to the floor. Toy Freddy quickly caught the fallen puppet and looked to the others who looked just as shocked, "This isn't good…"

Before further questions could be asked everyone looked towards the door as they heard the screams of Springtrap and Golden Freddy. It was at that moment that Freddy realized that Springtrap may have just found his next victim.
