Wow! Looks like this story is being more popular than I expected! Let's not let you all down! Also, I'm sorry if I delayed a bit. Christmas stuff.
Let's start the chapter then!
Ch. 5 Whispers
You finished up your lunch and changed the bandage of your back. The injury was really better than before; it was now a long scar, but it wasn't bleeding anymore.
Without any further delay, you went to the restaurant by car. You were curious if they found the children and if your new robotic friends were feeling okay.
However, the day wasn't starting well at all. When you arrived at the restaurant you could see a lot of police cars and officers wandering around the establishment. They interrogated everyone in and around the restaurant, but they allowed people to get in and out.
You were about to enter it until an officer stopped you "Excuse me, mister. You have to answer some questions before we let you in"
"Alright" You said. You didn't understand why they were there, but you knew that it was better to cooperate.
"Can you tell me your name?"
"(Y/N), sir"
"Why did you come to this restaurant?"
"Well… I work here" Suddenly, the officer looked at you frowned. It looks like he didn't like the fact that you work here.
"You work here, uh? And what is your duty?"
"I'm the security guard in the night shift, sir"
"Oh…" And then, his suspicious glare disappeared. But why? What was the difference between the day shift and the night shift? "Ok. Thanks for the cooperation, (Y/N). We'll be here for a couple of days, we'll call you if we need something else from you"
"Okay… Um, what is this all about by the way?"
The officer looked reluctant at first. Then, he looked at you severely "Private matters. For now we're not allowed to tell anything to the customers or the staff of this restaurant"
"Oh… Alright" You said as you entered slowly to the restaurant. There were officers even inside of the establishment. That didn't stop the children to have fun though.
Like always, the owner came behind you and patted violently your back "Hey! Here you are! Sorry for all this mess… I've been answering questions during all the morning. I would like to go home and sleep some but they don't let me out"
"Good morning. What is happening?"
"Well… They told me not to say anything but… screw it. You remember what happened yesterday?"
"Yeah, five children disappeared"
"Well… Looks like they didn't show up. So they think that someone killed them, they didn't find their corpses though…"
"Someone killed them?!" (Well, it has some logic behind. Five children disappearing in the same place and the same time… Yeah, it's reasonable that it could be a murder)
"On top of that, they suspect that the killer is one of the restaurant's staff… This is just great…" The old man groaned. (The killer is an employee? Now I understand why the officer looked at me suspiciously before) "Oh, and don't tell the animatronics. They can get very upset if they discover that there's a killer among us. Especially Freddy, he also can get a little… violent…" The owner said grimly.
"There's also another thing I need to ask you"
"Ask away, kiddo!"
"What's the big deal with the older models? Last night one of them almost kills me! He even left me like this!" You said as you revealed your bandage.
"The older models? What are you talking about? They didn't move anymore. Maybe you did that injury for yourself and you didn't notice" The owner said more nervous and serious than ever.
"What? But the phone guy told me…"
"He just likes to scare others! Don't pay attention to him!" He said trying to avoid the conversation (Isn't he contradicting himself? He told me that the phone guy would tell me useful tips… Hmm… Freddy was right after all, I mustn't trust in this guy at all…)
"Well… Okay, Mr. Fredbear. I'll see you tomorrow, I suppose" You said as you went through the restaurant to the show stage. Looks like the animatronics are arranging an especial event for today. All the kids were sitting in their seats as Freddy talked through his microphone.
"Hi, kids!"
"Hi, Freddy!" The children yelled at the same time.
"I'm so happy to see you all today with us! Today, I and our friend Bonnie will do a concert just for you! Enjoy!" Freddy said happily.
"Yay!" All the children cheered again. Bonnie started to play her bass guitar while Freddy sang through his microphone. Obviously, the song was too childish for you, but the kids enjoyed it. However, you felt very happy to see that everyone was better.
Chica and Mangle were sharing cupcakes and pizzas with the children.
"Oh! It's you again, Uh!" Balloon boy said behind you.
"Good morning, BB. How are you guys doing today?"
"Fine! Freddy and Chica are feeling so much better! Oh! And… sorry for stealing your flashlight last night… I never expected Foxy to come"
You patted his head "Don't worry, nobody expected it. Just make sure you don't steal me again" You smirked as BB nodded. Then he went to play with the other kids.
Suddenly, your head started to hurt. It hurt too much; you even hold it with your hands. That's when you heard something strange in your head. It was a chilling whisper that made your entire body to shake.
SAVE THEM
And suddenly, the pain stopped… Now you were looking at your surroundings and trembling. Even the innocent laughs of the kids looked frightening. (What was that?! Why did I hear a voice inside of my head?!)
"I hope you liked it kids! Until next time!" Freddy said as the song ended.
"Bye Freddy!" The children said.
You were still holding your head and trying to gather your thoughts about that strange whisper. Suddenly, you felt a gentle touch on your shoulder that made you jump a little "Hey… What's wrong…?" Bonnie said sweetly. She noticed you holding your head, so she was worried if something was wrong.
"No… N-Nothing, it's nothing…" You said trying to keep composure "I just felt dizzy for a moment"
"And how's your back doing?"
"Good! It's not bleeding anymore so I suppose I'm alright"
"Such a relief…" She said as she rubbed her fingers on your shoulders. Then, she quickly moved away, blushing.
"It was a great song you played back there" You said, trying to change the subject.
"You think so? The kids love it but I never expected anyone to praise me" Bonnie said "Also… Can I ask you something? What are those policemen doing here?" You knew that you mustn't tell her about the assumed children's death. But it wasn't right to lie to her.
"Well… um…" You tried to tell her "They are… trying to find the missing kids!"
"Really?" She asked curious.
"Yeah. After all, the children disappeared in this restaurant so they are investigating this place. Maybe they will find a clue of where are they"
"Oh, good! I'm sure Freddy will be happy to know that! Until night shift!" Bonnie said with a smile. You waved your hand at her. (Well… Let's go back home) You thought. However, you remembered what the phone guy told you last night.
I never liked that puppet thing. It was always...thinking…
That made you more curious than before about The Puppet (Maybe a little peek won't hurt…) Then, you headed to the prize and counter corner. The room was empty which made a chilling atmosphere. You walked slowly to the music box and gulping. Was The Puppet that bad?
Then, you opened the box slowly. You saw a black slim animatronic inside of the box. Like Bonnie said, his mask was really creepy. It was all white with red cheeks and tears running down his eyes… or his hollow sockets actually. He was lying limp in the bottom of the box with his creepy smile.
"Um… hello?" You tried to talk to him, but he didn't make a move "You're… The Puppet, right? Freddy and the others told me about you… I-I'm (Y/N), the new security guard. The others befriended with me just fine, so I thought you would like to come out and talk to me too… So, what do you think?" But you didn't receive any type of answer. He was just lying there, smiling… Just like an actual puppet…
"Well… okay, I'll leave you here… If you want to come out this night and meet me with the others, you're free to come anytime. And don't worry, I'll make sure the music box don't stop…" You said looking at him once again, hoping for some type of reaction from him, anything… However, that reaction never came.
You decided to give up. You closed the box again and headed to the exit… Suddenly, when you were about to leave the restaurant, you felt that horrible pain in your head again as another chilling whisper came to your mind.
YOU CAN'T
You hold your head as you panted in horror. Why were you hearing these things? Was because you were somehow traumatized about the children's disappearing? But you just felt sad for that; not horrified, just sad.
(Maybe I just need to sleep… I'm sure that I didn't sleep well and that's why I'm having those… whispers in my mind… Yes, I'm sure of it. I'll just go home, sleep and come here when the night shift starts. Everything will be fine!) You said to yourself, trying to look for a logical explanation for this. But… you couldn't help having a strange bad feeling about all this. Somehow, you were sure that the problems have just started… you have still three nights left in this place…
What more things you still have to witness?
To be continue…
So… the five children are dead… And what were those whispers in your mind? How will Freddy react when he finds out about the children's death? We'll find out all those things in next chapters.
Again, I must apologize for the gap. I'm very busy with all this Christmas stuff. I was able to arrange this chapter before Christmas Eve, so I suppose my new chapter will be something like my present for you all!
I hope you like this chapter! And I hope you all enjoy your holidays! Merry Christmas!
Please review and see you next chapter!
