Night 2
You slowly walk into the office at 11:30 PM. Right off the bat, you notice that the head is in a different position.
You carefully walk up to it and poke it.
No reaction what so ever. Maybe that means it not active tonight? You have no idea.
Pacing over the desk, you sit down in the chair. Having mixed feelings about tonight, you brush them aside as you grab your monitor.
Hearing a low hum as the power goes into eco mode, you shake your head and pull up the camera, only to see Will already off stage.
"But-" You think to yourself, "It's... 11:59..."
Hearing some banging coming from the Dining Hall, you quickly decide to check the camera.
You see Will getting hit across the face by Alpha. The wolf growls at him, rubbing his face where he got smacked.
He turned and walked away, making you laugh a little.
Suddenly Alpha's ear twitches. He heard you. The lion looks toward the camera and just stares at you, as if you were right in front of him.
You gasp and drop the tablet onto the floor, making a loud echo throughout the office.
It's safe to assume he heard that too.
"Hello! I see you made it too the second night, well done!" The head gleefully announces, springing to life and scaring you even more.
Bending down, you pick up the tablet as you listen intently to the severed head.
"Now, just a piece of advice, there are 2 animatronics active...By now I think you will have figured which ones. Anyway, the animatronics will become more violent the less of them are active, like a counterweight sort of thing... Happens in the day too, except it is more activity instead of violence."
Your eyes widened as you looked down at the tablet, before looking back at the head.
"Anyway, I don't have long to be active tonight, I have to get going... Bye, see you tomorrow!" It laughed, as it's eyes droop down, and it's jaw goes limp.
Hearing some distant noise, you go silent and listen closely.
It's almost like talking... Pulling up the monitor, you see Alpha is in the West Hall; walking calmly and slowly through the corridor.
You hear him arrive at the door and slam it shut, just in time.
"Hello..." The lion calls from the other side of the metal door.
"You won't survive you know, you still have 3 more nights..." He laughed, his voice sending chills down your spine. "Well, actually you have-"
"GO AWAY!" You scream banging on the door in anger.
One thing that you despise is people playing mind games with you, and here is a killer robot doing exactly that.
You calm down before checking the cameras. Will is in the East corridor, just staring at the camera as his yellow LED eyes just blink, scaring you almost as much as Alpha.
You pull down the tablet and look at the door lights. Alpha's mane is glittering in the light.
Staring at him in silence, the animatronic stares at you through the window, his jaw hanging open; revealing rows of shiny sharp teeth.
Sharp enough to tear your flesh apart... Pushing the horrid though away, you look back at the camera, continuing to skim through the rooms.
You check the time.
Four AM. Just great.
You look at your power... 15%
Realizing you're most likely not going to make it to see the third night, you shiver and try and calm down.
Images begin to flash through your mind.
Alpha tearing into you, biting and clawing away at you as you desperately try and scream out for help.
You look at the time one last time. Alpha is now in the dining room, and you can hear Will in the kitchen.
Fine... This okay. You could do this. There was no way some stupid Freddy's rip-off animatronics were going to kill you.
Just as you don't run out of power you would be perfectly okay.
Continuing to flip through the cameras, you try to save as much power as you can.
But as scared as you are, you check the door lights frequently, draining your power rather quickly.
Glancing up at the head on the desk every once in a while, you ponder in thought as to why it would want to help you.
It was like them... Right? A killer animatronic that wanted to bathe in your blood?
You weren't sure, but the only thing you cared about at the moment was surviving the night.
Looking at the time, you see that it's five AM.
A feeling of relief washes over you as the thought of leaving the place seemed so close in your reach.
However, interrupting those thoughts, reality hits as the power goes off.
The lights flicker and shut off, as a loud echo sinks through the room.
You feel your heart sink as you sit there, motionless in your chair.
What now? What was going to get you?
You couldn't possibly wait this out.. Could you?
Alpha suddenly appeared at the left door, and just started blinking.
His eyes were glowing red, and you knew that you couldn't wait it out until dawn.
Well, you weren't just going to sit there and let him kill you.
Jumping up out of your seat, You kick him in the stomach, then run past him and into the Dining Hall.
You run past the Meerkat and dive into the Parts and Service. You hear Alpha roar, "You won't get away that easily! Mark, did you see the night guard?"
"Umm, no. No I didn't." The Meerkat says. "Weird," you think," Wasn't the Meerkat right beside me as I dove in here? And isn't there only meant to be 2 active?"
"Well, you guard the exit. No way is the night guard getting out." Alpha grumbled, shaking his head and crossing his arms.
"But what about the people that are going to come in?" Mark asks.
"Yes, but those are kids, and trust me. I can recognise the night guard.." Alpha says as Will enters the room.
"Where were you?" Alpha yells, clenching his fists and growling at the wolf.
"Watching you fail. How do you fail that much, please tell me?" Will taunts, a cocky look on his face as he grins.
"Shut it, Mutt!" Alpha snarls, raising his paw up to smack the wolf, before lowering it and shaking his head.
"Both of you, find the guard.." He orders, storming out, and walking into the kitchen.
Will starts to head towards the Parts and Service room as you take a short breath of air.
You quickly search the room, trying to come up with an idea. You run to the side of the room and are rewarded with a vent.
Wasting no time, you quickly take the cover off of the vent, crawling inside.
As you put the grating back on you hear the door opening and silently crawl back. Will looks around the room, looking at the empty heads and endoskeletons.
He shakes his head, and mutters to himself. "Waste of time, Alpha is going insane.."
He walks out, and you silently crawl through the darkness, having no idea where you are going to get out.
You finally see light at the end of the vents, and pick up the pace.
Once you reach the end of it, you quietly crawl out.
Leaping to the ground, you look around at the surrounding area. You are in the parking lot, near the entrance of the building.
You walk up to the door and see Mark, standing with his back to the windowed door.
You walk up to the door and knock on it, and laugh as he turns around.
He shouts to Will and Alpha and they both come running to the door. You see Alpha become furious and crack up even more.
Suddenly, interrupting your laughter, the door swings open and Alpha darts out. You feel your heart sink as you scream and run.
"Why are they allowed out? It doesn't make any sense!" You panicked and thought as you get to the car door.
It was already unlocked, and you dive in; starting the car.
The time turns on and reads 7:00 AM. Alpha swings his fist and hits your window.
The glass smashes inwards as you drive out of the parking lot as fast as you can.
Wind rippled through the car as you drove home, panicking as your heart raced a hundred miles an hour.
Upon arriving at your house, you call your boss only to get to voice mail.
Sighing, and slightly annoyed, you record a message about how the animatronics are attacking you, and that you have proof.
Taking a deep breath and trying to forget about the events of the night, you hang up the phone and put it down.
There was no one who would believe you.
Oh, sure. You were attacked by killer animatronics that became blood thirsty at night.
The only thing that'd earn you was a straitjacket.
Shaking your head in frustration, you look outside; seeing the sun barely over the horizon.
Why did you even sign that contract? Well, the past couldn't be changed now..
And besides, you were tired beyond belief. And if you were going to survive the next three nights, you needed sleep.
Pacing up your stairs, you shake your head as you walk into your bedroom.
Quickly changing into pajamas, you crawl into bed, still shaken by what you'd just been through.
"They can move after six.." You kept thinking to yourself as you lay motionless in bed. "And they can leave the building.."
What if they saw where you drove off to? What if Alpha was still looking for you and broke into your house?
He could easily kill you while you slept.
"No..." You told yourself, closing your eyes tightly.
Everyone has a limit, even if it was an animatronic.
He wouldn't go that far from the pizzeria. And besides, they had to open.. And no Alpha around would mess everything up.
Maybe even get them scrapped for being dysfunctional...
Trying to push away your thoughts, you know you need sleep; And after a while, you finally doze off.
Opening your eyes, you squint as you stand to your feet, looking around a dark hallway.
Before you can gather where you are, you hear a roar from behind you; and turn to see a pair of red glowing eyes.
Not wasting any time, you begin sprinting through the halls, your footsteps echoing through the small space.
Close behind, the heavy metal clanks of the lion's feet are growing louder, as he gains on you.
The hallway was seemingly never ending, and you couldn't catch your breath as you ran for your life.
Blurred pictures on the wall appeared to be flying off the wall as you ran on, not knowing where you were going.
Alpha continued to chase you, growling as he continued to gain ground.
All the while Alpha keeps repeating the line from Phone guy, "They will shut off after six AM, they will shut off after six AM."
After what seems like hours of running, he eventually catches up to you.
His cold metallic laugh echoed through the halls as he extending his claws, swinging them down and hooking them into your legs.
Letting out a ear piercing scream, you whine and struggle as you are drug down the hallway to your doom.
Looking up at the much-taller animatronic, he grinned as he now had a replica of his own head in his hands.
He slams his foot down on your back, as you feel something crack inside of you.
Tears stream down your face as you close your eyes tightly, feeling the head being forced onto yours.
You jerk up in bed, sweating and panting. Placing a hand over your chest, you felt your rapid heartbeat.
Shaking your head, you check the time to see it's 11:00 PM.
Getting out of bed, you quickly shower and get ready for work, before rushing to your car.
You hop in, minding the glass and begin to drive to work.
Taking deep breaths, you feel the cool night air blow across your face as you continue driving.
"It was just a dream...I'm going to be fine.." You kept telling yourself, but your broken windshield told you otherwise.
Pulling into the parking lot, you take the keys out of the car; looking up at the building.
Glancing at the built-in clock in your car, you see it's not even midnight yet; But it felt like it was far past it...
