I came back! I hope you are already enjoying 2015!

PD: Some of you may have already noticed this, but for those who have not, I edited the last part of the previous chapter. The user Ekstez mentioned it and I also saw it, so I wanted to change that. Now the reason why the animatronics want to kill you is a more reasonable one (for me, at least)

Let's head with the chapter!

Ch. 7 The mysterious puppet

"Well… It looks like it got better" You said as you looked at your back through your bathroom's mirror, your back was now completely better. You took a bath before changing your clothes so you could visit your friends after the little trouble you had last night.

Suddenly, you heard your phone ringing (Who could this be?) You said as you grabbed it. It was Mr. Fredbear. Why him? Why was he calling you now?

"Hello?" You said bringing the phone to your ear.

"(Y/N)! Bring your freaking fat ass right here now!" The old man said in an intimidating angry tone "What the hell did you to the freaking robots?!" (Wow! Those are really nasty words for an old man, you know?)

"What happened?! What did I do?!" You asked with great confusion.

"Just get over here right now! Motherfu…" He said interrupting himself as he hung up. You looked at the phone confused (And what happened now?) You sighed as you dressed up and drove your car to the restaurant. However, once you entered in it you could notice that something was strange. The children were playing happily in the dining area but the parents were all at the entrance or outside the establishment with all the policemen.

"Um, excuse me…" You said as you approached to a woman "Why are you all here? Your kids are enjoying inside, shouldn't you be watching for them so they don't get hurt?"

"I know dear, but… it's just that the animatronics aren't themselves. They act really weird with us, but they seem to enjoy being with the kids so it's fine, I guess…"

"Oh… alright, thanks" You said as you ran to the office remembering your angry boss (They're acting weird? But why? I thought they were just fine yesterday…)

Once you got into the office you could see your boss muttering angry, and holding a sheet of paper in his hand "What's the matter, Mr. Fredbear?"

"What's the matter?! What's the matter?! This is it! This freaking thing just made my day!" He said as he looked with frustration to the paper "This is just great… Just when this place couldn't have worse reputation!"

"Umm… can you stop yelling and tell me what's going on?"

"This?! Those stupid parents sued me because of the death of those stupid children! To cop it all, those officers think that one of my employees is the killer! That's outrageous! And you… What the hell did you do?!" He yelled angrily. However, you remained silent since you hadn't any idea of what was happening "Those stupid robots are acting aggressive and rudely towards the adults! Especially towards the restaurant's staff! Did you mess up with them?!"

"I can promise you that I didn't do anything" You said calmly. Although, you couldn't deny that you weren't confused of the new animatronics' behavior "Let me talk with them, maybe they can tell me what's wrong"

The old man muttered again "Okay… But I need you to say something for them. I had enough bad luck with this damned restaurant! If someone of them makes a huge mistake… Their days are counted, with this restaurant as well"

"O-Okay…" You shivered as you thought about it. They will be trashed… This whole mess was too confusing. It's like there was an evil being bringing the despair to the restaurant.

IT'S ME

And again… you felt that scary chill down your spine. You heard another whisper followed by a laugh. This wasn't a joke anymore! Why the hell was all this happening?! You had no idea but you knew that you'll find out.

"Are you okay, kiddo?" The owner asked seeing you so nervous all of a sudden.

"Uh…? Oh, yes… Yes, I am. I just had a sudden headache. I'll go and see the robots" You said as you left the office slowly with an uncomfortable feeling. (I think I can understand why Mr. Fredbear; Fazbear Entertainment went through so many things. First there were the rumors about the first establishment; they were just rumors but they seriously damaged the restaurant reputation)

The kids were running and playing joyfully as you passed by them, and ignoring them (Then, five children disappeared and possibly died in this place, which made the restaurant to receive a grand sue from the children's parents. And they suspect that the killer is an employee of this establishment…)

You finally reached the show stage. Freddy and the others were playing happily with the children. No adult could be seen (And they're acting weirdly. This company is in serious troubles; if they make just another mistake, no matter how small it is, it would mean the immediate closure of the restaurant… I can't blame Mr. Fredbear for his burst of anger…)

Suddenly, you noticed that Freddy looked at you with his eyes widened. He whispered something to the children who were playing with him and he approached to you slowly. He was just a little taller than you, but his muscular complex and his strong blue eyes were intimidating "(Y/N)…" He said in a graver tone than usual.

"H-Hi, Freddy…" You said trying to sound calm and friendly.

"What brings you here?"

"Well… The same reason as the other days, maybe? I just passed by to say hello!" And then, there was just an uncomfortable silence between you two a couple of seconds "I-I see that you're enjoying with the kids today. As always, right? Haha!" You slowly were realizing that something was not right. Freddy isn't the type of guy… or robot, who's serious and quiet "Uh… And why the kids aren't with their parents?"

"They don't want to enter. That's their problem" Freddy said nonchalantly. Then, you could see that BB had just arrived beside Freddy.

"Oh, hi BB! How are you doing today buddy?" But the only answer you received was an awkward silence again "C'mon! Don't be so reluctant now! High five!" You said as you brought up your hand up at him. But the little robotic boy just looked at you frowning. Now was clearer than ever, something was not right with them.

You looked briefly to Mangle, Chica and Bonnie just to see that the girls also looked at you suspiciously "Freddy… what's wrong with you?" You spoke softly "Did I do something rude? Why are you so angry at me all of a sudden" You said with a confusing and sad tone.

"That's not any of your business" BB said rudely.

"Private matters. I'll only say this; if those incompetents out there cannot find the killer, we'll do it before he or she could harm anyone else" Freddy said sternly.

You opened wide your eyes in realization before laughing a little "Is that it? Oh, don't worry about that, guys! I agree with you that sometimes the police can be a little slow, but they'll eventually find the killer! Relax!"

Freddy remained silent and looking at you deeply before he spoke again with his authoritarian voice "We will decide that. If we want to intervene, we will intervene. Now get out"

"Wha-? Wait, wait just a second… Don't you…?"

"I. Said. Get. Out" Freddy said now slightly angry. You looked at him frowning; why was he so aggressive? You wouldn't let this stone not turned around. You opened your mouth to argue with him, until you felt a little soft hand pressing your chest. You looked at your side and saw Bonnie frowned; she shook her head "(Y/N), please listen to Freddy. We'll find that killer so please leave us alone. We have all under control"

You felt your heart breaking. Even Bonnie was like this too? The most caring, sweet and nice of the animatronics was acting like this? You couldn't understand anything anymore "Come now please. You have to get out" She said as she pushed you from the back towards the entrance.

However, while she was pushing you, you felt that she was slipping her hand inside of your pocket. Why would she do that? Did she… leave you something in your pocket? "I'm sorry (Y/N), but we were programmed for this. We can't stay still when there's a criminal walking freely around. You understand us… right?" She said worried and sad.

You also felt sad when you looked at her beautiful green eyes filled with sorrow "Yes Bonnie… Sorry for annoy you all…" You said as she went again to the dining hall, leaving you alone in the hallway. That's when you put your hand inside of the pocket; you took the foreign object and looked at it with surprise.

It was a note.

(A note…? Why would Bonnie give me a note?) You guessed while you started to read it.

(Y/N), by the time you've read this you may be aware of the strange acting of Freddy and the rest of us. I'm so sorry to tell you that you're in danger

(Danger?) You thought for a second. You decided to continue the read. Freddy's a real nice guy, but he can get really paranoid sometimes. That's why we're all like this: We know that the killer is among the establishment staff, so they've decided to kill every employee so sooner or later they will find him or her. And… I'm afraid to say… that it also includes you…

"What?!" You yelled (They're trying to kill me?!) That took you by surprise. How could they try to kill you? You were their friend… right? For now, it was better to finish Bonnie's letter. I have no choice but to obey Freddy, but I'm against this purpose and of course I won't kill you. You're our friend… my friend… and I will never hurt a friend…

You couldn't help but to smile. After all, it looks like Bonnie was still the nice and caring girl she always was. So I decided to help you indirectly; Freddy wouldn't be happy if he discovers that I helped you, but that won't stop me. I don't have time to write more so I need you to meet me today at 10 PM. There's still a possibility that you can still survive. I'll tell you everything once we meet. Please, be careful… Bonnie.

You ended the note with a smile (Bonnie…) You thought with a sweet tone in your inner voice. But suddenly, you started to hear a low malicious laugh coming from the hall. Hesitating at first, you started to walk slowly through long corridor until you reached prize counter's door.

Once you opened the door, you noticed that the laugh was coming from the music box (Is that… The Puppet?) You thought. You knocked the box to see if he will answer you this time. But the laugh stopped just when you knocked it "Umm… Hello?" You tried to make him to come out "Don't play dumb. I already know that you're here and you're listening to me" You said with anger.

Suddenly, the box cover flew away and the slim tall black animatronic got out with a jump and bursting a laugh. The sudden laughter make you jump from the impression "Hahahaha! So funny! You humans are so funny!"

You stood up and looked at the smiling puppet. It was terrifying to see him with that creepy smile and those hollow and tearful eyes "Okay… You revealed yourself, at long last. Why do you keep yourself in there?"

He looked at you with his creepy empty sockets for seconds before speaking "I just hate to be out. The only thing I love is that beautiful melody of the box… and children's faces when I startle them if the music ends! You got to see them, they're waaaay to funny! Hahahaahaha!"

You rolled your eyes and shook your head. Somehow, you didn't like this guy's attitude; he reminded you to The Joker in some way "Like that same face you putted a couple of minutes ago and yesterday. Seriously, you looked like if you were listening something in your head! Hahahahahaha!"

"What?!" Was he referring to the whispers?! Did he know something about it?! "Like if I was listening something?! Something like whispers?!" You yelled angrily and determined.

"Whispers? What whispers? I didn't say whispers. Did someone say whispers?" He said like if he was talking to the public of a comedy club.

"Hey! Don't try to fool me! You know something, I'm sure of it! Tell me, you're the one who causes those whispers?!"

Again, he took a couple of seconds to talk "The answer is yes… and yet, no…"

"What?"

"Let's say that I'm just the catalyst of the one who wants to give the message. A messenger, so to speak"

"A messenger? But who's the one who wants to give me the message? And what does he or she want me to do?"

"Hmhmhmhm… You'll need to find out for yourself, my dear target… And I need to remind you that you only have two days leeeft" He said singing a little in the last word.

"Two days?" (Oh, right… Mr. Fredbear hired me for just five nights, and today will be the fourth…)

"What will be first? You go away safely from this place? Or we kill you? Hmm… interesting game we have…" The creepy puppet said grimly "Although… Maybe the fate wouldn't be so happy for us the animatronics too. Hmhmhmhm…" This last statement made you curious.

"What are you talking about? What will happen to the animatronics?" You asked worried.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock… Time runs out, target… Would you be able to make the difference before it's too late?" He said teasingly as he entered again in box and went limb.

(Make the difference…?) You thought stunned as you exited the room. Whatever was happening, it wasn't good at all. Why the animatronics were so aggressive with no apparent motive? Why The Puppet shows himself now? And what was he talking about?

Too many unanswered questions, but you hoped that you could resolve all of them before you leave this place. Something big is going down in this restaurant and you'll find out what it is.

To be continue…

And this ends chapter 7. We finally see The Puppet! But what was he referring to? He's just a messenger? The animatronics' fate? Does that mean that the animatronics are in danger?

Too many questions… I hope you could enjoy my return with this chapter! Happy New Year!

See you next chapter!
