I saw that you guys enjoyed the previous chapter! I'm glad to know that!
In this chapter you will have to survive the last night in the restaurant and you have a couple of tasks to clear which is to find Bonnie and find out what is trying to do the Puppet. But why did the older models kill the Phone Guy? I'm pretty sure you already know the answer…
Also, I want to thank the user blueeyesreddragon5 for giving me an idea to enlarge Golden Freddy's role in this story.
Let's head with the chapter!
Ch. 10 Resting Souls
9 PM. You were sitting on your couch and looking at your wrapped up fingers with a grossed look on your face "*sigh* First, my back. Now, my fingers… I hope that there's no a next thing to abuse…" You said as you looked again at the TV. You were watching the news, hoping that they show the incident occurred a couple of hours ago.
Eventually, it popped up. A picture of the man in question… without his name… (Really?... It looks like I'll never know what his name was…) The news reader started to announce the incident.
And we pass to another tragedy. It occurred at the famous Freddy Fazbear's Pizza pizzeria. There was a birthday scheduled for today when suddenly a couple of the animatronics started to scare the people and destroy the establishment. To make things worse, they brutally killed a man without mercy. When the forensics examined his body they discovered burns from electricity and his lungs, heart and ribs were destroyed.
Hearing all those things made your nose tense a little. It wasn't nice to remember that perturbing scene…
The forensics and the police agreed in the same matter. This man was the killer of the previous death children. They found fingerprints on the children's clothes that match with this man's fingerprints.
You gulped as you were now completely sure that the Phone Guy was indeed the killer. After all, how did he know about the yellow suit?
They also found a suit from this establishment in the scene of the crime, but they just found some bloodstains from the children in it. This suit, known as Golden Freddy, is finally back in his place.
"Oh… So that's why I didn't see Golden Freddy last night…"
This only made the restaurant's reputation to aggravate. How is Mr. Fredbear going to get out of so many unfortunate events?
And then, the news section ended with that unanswered question "Hmm… Now that he mentions it… How's the boss going after all this mess?" You asked to yourself. You decided to wait; after all, today it will be your last night in the restaurant and tomorrow he will give you the pay for your work. You can ask him when that happens.
You waited at home until it was 11:30 PM. You drove your car once again at the restaurant. You entered in the establishment and walked to the show stage. There was something you needed to check before starting your shift.
Once you were at the show stage, you angered at the fact that Chica and Freddy were in their animalized forms once again "*groan* C'mon!" You yelled irritated. How much will they continue with this madness?! "Okay, I had enough with this. I don't care if I risk my life on this but I will make things clear with them" You said with confidence. Now it was easy to solve this situation: They were trying to find the children's killer, right? You just need to convince them that the killer is no longer a threat. Piece of cake.
You headed for the last time to the office and looked at the laptop with decision "Let's get this over with" But there was something that surprised you since the very beginning of the night: The phone rang once again. But how? The Phone Guy's dead and he can't make messages in dead's land… can he? You hesitating picked up the message…
Hey, kiddo…
It was Mr. Fredbear's voice! You relaxed a little bit as you knew who left you the message.
Well… It's good to see that you could make this until this night, which is the last one here if I recall… He…
He was talking very lowly; you could tell he wasn't in the mood. He was now in that mood when you don't care about anything and the only thing you want to do is to relax yourself and forget what made you so down.
I don't know if you watched the news, but… it looks like this guy who was supposed to record this message was the killer… Who could have believed it? A killer among my workers? This just sounds like a cruel joke of my fate… Just try to do what you can this night because tomorrow… You know? Never mind; you wouldn't care about it… Whatever… Have a good night…
He said without joy at the end of the message…
(Okay… Now is time to get started…) You said as you checked the show stage camera just to see that everybody was already off… and it wasn't even 1 AM. You sighed annoyed but you were already prepared for this.
You heard noises coming from both of the vents. You checked the left vent camera and you saw Chica and BB smiling creepily at you while Mangle was looking with her unique yellow eye at the right vent camera. But you smirked as you heard slow footsteps coming from the hallway. You lighted it up with the flashlight and you saw Freddy at the entrance of the office.
"There you are, Fred" You said with surprising serenity, but Freddy just looked at you with his wide blue eyes "Can we sit down and talk about this like two gentlemen?" Still no response…
You frowned as you made your voice deeper and more serious "Freddy, I'm not the children's killer. Don't you remember my first night here? You told me that if I liked to work here… I answered 'yes', I'm still answering 'yes' and I will always say 'yes'. Don't you remember that amazing and entertaining night? When all of us were enjoying our time together like a family? I know that the old nice and smiling Freddy, who always greeted me with a 'buddy', is still there… Why can't we just be friends again? Just please, leave me a chance to defend myself and prove that I'm not involved in this…"
The room remained silent for a few minutes. Nor you nor Freddy made a move; you knew somehow that he will eventually understand the situation.
So he did after a moment of silence. He slowly turned his body into his humanized form and looked at you with seriousness but regret "*sigh* You're right… Chica, Mangle, BB, you can get out now" He raised his voice as the other three animatronics appeared from the vents with their humanized forms. All of them had a sad look on their faces.
"Alright. But first, where is Bonnie?" You asked gravely. Chica took the laptop and changed to the parts and service camera. Once saw what was she trying to show you, your heart froze and your eyes widened. Aside from the older models, you saw the poor humanized bunny lying on the floor with her eyes closed and her body was covered of something like bruises; like if she was struggling with something or someone. You looked at the robots with anger which they replied with a sad look at the ground.
You sighed as you tried to relax "Okay, I'll go and get her; wait here. I'll explain everything once I come back" You said as you took your flashlight and headed to the parts and services room. You gulped as you knew that you were heading to an instant death if the older models started to move while you were there. However, it only was 1 AM and they don't start to move until 2 so maybe you still had time.
Once you reached the parts and services room, and took Bonnie's limb body on your arms. You knew that she was just turned off, but she was too real that the fact the she wasn't breathing or not having heartbeats at all was a little worrying. You checked for the little switch which was at her back and turned her on. You heard some buzzing noises coming from her until she opened slowly her green eyes.
She looked around the room until she looked at you with surprise "(Y/N)…?"
"Good morning, Bon" You said sweetly. She couldn't resist the urge to cry and hug you tightly.
"I-I thought I wouldn't see you anymore…" Bonnie said with trembling voice as she buried her face to your chest.
"Don't worry, I will solve things tonight. Let's head to the office now, okay?" You said as you stroked her hair.
She nodded as she stood up and exited the room before you. However, you noticed something peculiar. Where was Golden Freddy suit? The news reader said that it was back at the restaurant, but it wasn't here at all…
Bonnie's voice calling for you made you snap and forget about it just for now. Soon, all of the animatronics were again in the office. Chica, Mangle and BB were looking at Bonnie with regret.
"Um… I'm so sorry, Bonnie… You don't deserve to befriend with someone so despicable like me…" Mangle said.
"We suck! We did something not good at all!" BB cried with a mix of anger and sadness.
"Bon… You have all the right to be mad at us… But I hope you can forgive us…" Chica said intertwining her fingers ashamed.
Bonnie just smiled and spoke softly "No need to worry, that's water under the bridge. The important thing now is to listen to (Y/N)" She said as she looked at you shyly.
First, you told Bonnie all that happened this afternoon; she listened to the incident with her eyes widened and her mouth covered with her hands "Alright. Now, I need you to listen to this" You said as you reproduced the message from the owner again so they could listen to it. Once Mr. Fredbear said who the killer was, all the animatronics looked at each other with surprise; but Freddy was the most shocked one.
"You understand now?" You asked.
"So… that guy who was tortured… was the children's killer…?" Freddy gasped.
"Now is not necessary to fight anymore. The killer is no longer a threat!" You said.
"See? I told you! (Y/N) never was the killer!" Bonnie exclaimed with happiness.
Freddy took a step forward into your direction and squeezed your hand with a sad look on his face "I owe you an apology… We doubted you not just once… but twice… And we were about to kill you merciless, a really good friend… I'll understand if you never forgive us… Just finish this night and don't come back… I'll understand it…" He let out your hand and started to walk again through the hallway. However, you tapped his shoulder and when he turned back to look at you, you smirked at him.
"Hey Fred, don't worry! As Bonnie said; that's now water under the bridge" You winked at him. He smiled and gave you a really tight hug.
"Thank you, buddy…" He said touched.
"It's o-okay… But… can you leave… me on the floor? You're… suffocating me…" You said weakly. Freddy let you go with a nervous laugh.
"Oh yeah! Welcome back, Uh! This call for a celebration!" BB said joyfully.
"I'm afraid that will have to wait" Bonnie said.
"That's right! It's nearly 3 AM, the older models should start to move soon" Chica said as she looked at the clock.
You looked at Freddy with a look of 'You ready?' which he replied with a smirk and a nod.
The animatronics went once again at their positions of two nights ago, prepared to protect you from the older models. Although, the night was extremely calm. It was already 4 AM but no animatronic came from the parts and service room; you didn't even hear a sound. Why?
Freddy said to the others to come back to the office through the walkie-talkie "Why they aren't coming anymore?" BB asked confused.
"Hmm… This is so strange… They killed someone a few hours ago and now they're not moving?" Chica guessed too.
You thought about it too; it indeed was strange. Your trance of logic was interrupted by a well-known sound. It was the sound of a music box coming at the office slowly. You looked at the laptop shocked as you understood what happened. With all the confusion, you forgot to wind up the music box… and now The Puppet was approaching you.
"Oh… Shoot…" You whispered as you looked at the hallway and listening to the increasing song. Soon, the creepy looking marionette came to the office with a loud laugh.
"Good nighty, my metallic friends!" He said with his irritating laugh.
"Oh, you decided to show yourself at last, uh?" Freddy said. By the deep of his tone you could deduce that Freddy didn't like Puppet at all.
"What are you doing here?" Bonnie asked with the same tone of hatred.
"Weeeeeell, I just happened to hear all your questions and I thought 'Hey! I know why!', and I decided to come and tell everythiiiiing!" He said joyfully.
"Wait! You know it?!" Chica asked out loud.
"Know what?"
"Didn't you say you knew why the animatronics aren't moving?" Mangle asked a little pissed off.
"Ah! That! You should have told that before!" He said again with his laugh. All the animatronics looked at him angrily as they 'facepalmed' themselves.
The Puppet landed on the bench with a teasing pose as he started his explanation "How should I start? Hmm… Do you remember all those kids that died?" All of us nodded "Well… I just happened to be present at the time of the death. That guy killed them violently at the parts and service rooms and left them to root there…" He told like if it wasn't a big deal.
"And… what happened…?" You dared to ask.
"Gooood question!" He singed again "You see, for me it was a really pathetic way to end those children's life. So I decided to make things more interesting! I took their corpses and rescued their souls, and I put them inside the older animatronics suits! I gave them life!"
"WHAT?!" All of you yelled at the same time.
"You stuffed them inside the suits?! But why?!" Mangle yelled.
"I think our special guest can answer that better than me!" He said as he snapped his fingers. Suddenly, you heard a heavy sound coming from the corner of the office. When you looked at it, you found that it was the Golden Freddy suit. It was sitting limb on the corner; blood spilling and wires coming out of his sockets.
"That's… Golden Freddy…?" Freddy asked a little taken back.
"He-He-Hello" The golden suit said. All of the animatronics jumped from the startle. His voice was extremely deep and it was intermittent, like if his voice box was broken.
"S-So… You're Golden Freddy…?" You asked as you gulped a little.
"I-Indeed" He said. His voice was so deep that it could be terrifying but it seemed calmed "I'm so-so-sorry for the whi-whispers"
"Oh! So you were the one who gave me those whispers?" You asked.
"WROOOONG" Puppet yelled annoyingly "I was the one who put those whispers in your mind! Goldie just asked me to do so!"
"I just wa-wa-wanted to attract your ate-te-tention. Sorry if I sca-sca-scared you"
"Okay, it's alright. But can you tell us what happened to the kids?"
"Of co-course… Once the Puppet stu-stuffed them inside the suits, some-somehow their souls possessed them. The fi-fi-fifth kid was stuffed inside me…"
The animatronics looked at Golden Freddy with surprise "So… is the kid talking through you right now?" Bonnie asked.
"So-Something like that… The thi-thi-thing is that the other kids we-we-were so angry that they were a-a-able to control the animatronics. However, the-the-their grudge was so intense that it bli-bli-blinded them. Every time they sa-sa-saw a security guard they thought i-i-it was him"
"That's why they started to attack (Y/N) when the children died" Mangle said as she scratched her chin.
"However, I di-di-didn't have that high grudge, so-so-so I could think properly but my-my-my body wasn't moving. I tri-tri-tried to convince the others that everything wa-wa-was okay so we could rest in peace. But the-the-they just wanted to find the killer and ma-ma-make him pay for what he did…" He said.
All the animatronic looked down with sorrow. It was so sad to hear that.
"I didn't want any-any-anyone to die, but now it's too-too-too late… At least, we finally co-co-could rest in peace… (Y/N), the ki-ki-kids want to say 'Thank you'… to yo-yo-you and all the newer animatronics…"
"You're welcome buddies…" You said softly. And then, the empty suit remained silent. All those vengeful souls finally can rest.
"And that's all, folks!" Puppet said "I'm out!" He jumped joyfully to his favorite box. All the animatronics remained silent and looking at the ground until Balloon Boy decided to cheer things up.
"Hey! C'mon! It's all over now, right? Why all those long faces? We have to celebrate that the killer is gone and (Y/N) is back in the crew!"
"… BB is right! We can't be so down now! Cheer up guys!" Chica followed the motion.
"Well… I'll hate to ruin the joy… but it looks like we'll have to leave that for tomorrow" You said as you looked at the clock. It was almost 6 AM.
"Oh well… We don't mind. It's better like this, when you come back this afternoon we'll make sure to give you a bigger surprise than the one we made the first night" Bonnie said with joy and decision.
"It's settled then! Tomorrow we'll have the greatest party this restaurant would ever have!" Chica declared joyfully.
"Oh yeah! You don't know how much time I've been waiting for this!" BB yelled.
"I think I'm also excited to get started!" Mangle said with happier than she never was.
"It's a pleasure to have you back, buddy" Freddy said as he rested a hand on your shoulder "You will come back even if it's during the day, right?"
"Of course I will Freddy! I would never have expected that my best friends would've been a bunch of robots… But now I can tell that you're the best bunch of robots that anyone could have met" You said as you let out a little tear from your touching words.
The animatronics also let out a couple of tears as they said goodbye and see you tomorrow with great happiness. Once you were out of the restaurant, you sighed with relief. This is what you wanted, that things could come back just as the first night here. Now you could say that this was INDEED a good place to work and eat.
"(Y/N)! Wait!" Bonnie's voice was heard coming from the restaurant's entrance "I-I just wanted to say that it was a pleasure to have been with you all these nights…" She said softly.
"The pleasure's mine…" You said as you bowed slightly.
"Now things will be a little boring around here at nights… Well… I'll always be grateful that I could meet and know you…" She said sweetly. You just couldn't stop to stare at her enchanting green eyes.
"I'm grateful too, Bonnie… I'll always remember you…" Suddenly, she tiptoed to reach your cheek and she kissed it for just a second. You widened your eyes; you weren't expecting that.
"So-Sorry! See you tomorrow!" She said as she ran again at the restaurant with her cheeks red from her crimson blush.
You rubbed the cheek as you smiled confused. You chuckled; it wasn't so bad, your heart was jumping right now so it meant something to you. You looked at your car with decision as you said with confidence.
"Yeah! I could make through Five Nights at Freddy's!"
THE END
Hold it!
Puppet was giggling evilly inside his box "A party? Tomorrow? Hmhmhmhm! How ignorant they are… Looks like they don't realize that it's all over! There's no tomorrow for us anymore! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" He laughed loudly and creepily…
To be continued…
What now?! Just when you could resolve things with Freddy and the others and the children's souls can finally rest in peace… THIS happens?! What will happen tomorrow?
Oh, and sorry for the 'hold it', I couldn't help it xD. (If you caught the reference, you're amazing)
