A/N: Hello once again! So, here's chapter two. I don't really know if the delay of the days that went between the first chapter and this one was a bit too much, but I really did scheduled the update to be published on Oct 9. That being said, I hope you enjoy!
I woke up.
I woke up, but didn't really got off of bed. I just stood there, staring at the ceiling, thinking. Thinking about everything that came rushing at me all at once; first, the dream of that... that creature warning me about a danger that was coming, and then, right after Suzie told me to be aware of any changes in my life, boss switched my shift to the night.
I was overwhelmed.
But well, what could I do? I'm stuck. So, I will just do as I am supposed to.
"And what exactly is that?" I thought. "You have to work, idiot. Get up." I replied myself.
And I did as I was told. Then, when (almost) everything was in their proper place, I exited the building where my apartment was.
"How can things change so much in such a small amount of time?" I thought, as I drove to work. Then, I thought about Springtrap. Well, he would be pretty much my only company for this night, as well for the other nights to come, and I never thought about what he could possibly do when alone. Almost alone, considering that a guard would stay the night.
Maybe he would just lay down and recharge his batteries, somehow? Spending the whole day walking and sprinting through that place should really be tiring, even for a robot.
Without really getting an answer for all of my questions, I entered the building. It was as it is supposed to be. Dirty, with lots of black substances dripping from the wall, drawings of figures with creepy smiles (some of these didn't even had eyes, all they had was a black void), really old appearance, wires coming off of the ceiling, and gift boxes scattered all over the place. Plus the not-so-strong illumination, and there you have it. Real nightmare fuel.
Chills went down my spine, as I made my way to the office. Every room that I was going through, I searched for Springtrap, with no success on finding him. Where the hell was that damn animatronic?
When I arrived at the room where Cam 5 is, I found him. He was there, laying on the ground, in the middle of the corridor, chest up. I raised an eyebrow at that, but shrugged it off and continued walking. After I pass by his body, I heard mechanical sounds, and turned to him. He was getting up, his pointed up ears were moving a little, his eye lights, once off, were now on and bright, and he was producing a low scree. He was staring at me, making my mind fill with confusion.
We stayed like that for at least one minute, he hadn't moved a gear, and then I started walking again. But, to my surprise, he was following me, never taking his eyes off. I gulped, and tried to hurry. When I finally arrived at the office, I sat on the chair and sighed, assuming Springtrap already moved on to do other things. I was actually correct.
Picking up the tablet, I flipped through the cameras, searching for him. He was back at cam 5, but this time, he wasn't laying on the ground. He was up and standing in a weird way, staring at the camera. I switched to 6 and played balloon boy's voice. But that didn't seem to work, as I heard the sound of the vents being entered by something. He was actually entering the ventilation system?!
And then the ventilation started to malfunction, apparently there was an error. I went to fix it on the maintenance panel. Once I was done, I heard the ventilation being stumped again, and when I looked at the one Springtrap could logically got out, the vent in front of the office, it was open. And, looking to my left, I saw him at the doorway, peeking inside, never getting his eyes off of me.
"Hey, what are you doing? Need something?" I said, not really expecting an answer. And I got none; all he did was slowly enter the office, coming at me. I got up from the chair.
"Need some oil or something?" I asked, starting to wonder what the hell Springtrap was up to.
With a quick move, Springtrap grabbed my left arm with an inhuman strength, making me scream, while feeling the crushing pain from his grip. The scree he made this time was a lot louder than before, and louder than I had ever heard it. With the hand that remained for him, he grabbed my neck and started to strangle me, and I felt myself lifting from the ground. With my legs, I was kicking him, with no effects.
I felt myself blacking out, losing my strengths, going numb at a quick pace. I was hand-searching for something on the desk, until I found it. With all the strength that I had left, I cut some of the wires on his neck, with the scissor I had just found. Then, I felt my neck being set free, and my feet were touching the ground again. I was coughing really hard, trying to get the air into my lungs once again. I watched with relief as Springtrap's arm felt to the side of his suit, looking like it was dead. And I believed (and expected) that it was. Springtrap was just glaring at the nonfunctional arm, making aggressive scree.
However, the waves of relief that were filling me were soon washed out by the pain that I was still feeling on my left arm, and I watched with terror that he still had a firm grip on it. Springtrap seemed to acknowledge that as well, as he then looked at my aching arm, making a much stronger pressure. I didn't even thought twice about cutting some other wires.
Then, his two arms were hanging on his sides, and a louder than ever scree was being produced by his voice box. He was glaring at me, his expression filled with hate. Sweat was dripping from my forehead, my arm was awfully numb, but not enough to make the pain go away.
"Y-yo-u w- wo-n *scree* won't g-g- go aw-ay li- like this" Springtrap finally spoke out some words. I got more and more terrified, my breath getting heavier. I started moving carefully, until-
*SCREEEEEEEEEE*
My eyes got wide, and my ears were starting to ache from that sound. I watched with terror as the animatronic in front of me glitched for some instants, which almost seemed like an eternity. And then, Springtrap fell to the ground. The light on his eyes were once again off, and he wasn't moving, not even a little. The scree stopped.
Not really knowing what exactly to make of that, I slowly walked to the restroom, to see if there was some first aid kit.
Taking some painkillers and getting some ice for my arm by the supply room, I made my way back to the office, terrified of what I was going to find once I got there. Springtrap probably would be laying there, the wires on his exposed neck would still be cutted, a reminder of what had happened.
"Yeah, why exactly did he do that? He shouldn't have that kind of actions into his servos. He shouldn't have that kind of response on his AI. He shouldn't behave like that, period." I muttered to myself, walking. Once I arrived at the office, Springtrap was still laying on the ground, apparently off. I glared at him, cursing inside my mind. Then I recalled that the previous night guard quitted the job... And now I unfortunately know why! I decided to quit this crap job, there was no way I would handle that same aggressive events five nights a week. I sat down on the chair, picked a clean paper and a pen, and I thought about how should I begin with the note for Suzie (or any guard), but I would just ask them to tell boss that I quitted.
But then I heard that.
That... That...
Oh my god.
Really?
Springtrap was sobbing. He was making crying noises, and whining. What the actual fuck?
I turned to look at him, laying there on the ground. His eye lights were on again, but other than that and the sounds, he wasn't making any action.
"Um... H-hey, what's going on?" I managed to say, trying to actually make contact with him.
"Oh, Oh god! You!" Springtrap screamed, his eyes completely focusing on me, and his voice wasn't sounding not even a bit like the voice that spoke to me before... Now it didn't have an aggressive, intimidating and completely hateful tone to it. Now, it was just sadness. But... Sadness for what?
"Me...?" I said, raising an eyebrow.
He watched with his jaw opened as I was pressing the ice on my arm, and then he looked at my neck. Springtrap screamed.
I was actually losing it. What was happening there?
"Don't let-" Springtrap tried to say, but then he was glitching again, and once more, he 'passed out'. My jaw was dropped, and I was really, really confused.
"How come the very creature that tried so hard to kill me, and almost succeeded, right after comes back to say that it's sorry? Oh my god, this is all messed up." I thought.
Acknowledging that the time was already 6AM, I shrugged it off and quickly went to fix the wires that I had cut. When I was done, I ran to the door, exiting the building and getting to my car as fast as I could. I was desperate to finally get out of that place.
When I had droved halfway to where I live, I remembered that I didn't even start to write that note about me quitting.
"Oh, fuck!" I yelled, frustrated.
But well, I could call the boss and tell him that stuff. Yeah, I was going to do that.
When I arrived at my apartment, I went to the phone, with the idea of calling Suzie and telling her everything that happened at that place. But I was really tired, I just wanted to go to bed and sleep until darkness. Passing by the kitchen and ignoring the hunger that I was feeling, I entered my bedroom and just fell on the bed. With the little consciousness that was remaining, I decided calling Suzie and boss when I wake up.
Then, everything was black, my body was feeling numb and I fell asleep.
Unfortunately, it wasn't a dreamless sleep.
A/N: So, here it is. I can't help but feel that this chapter turned out a bit crappy, I don't know. It is actually (just by a little bit) shorter than the first chapter. Guess I just don't have any skill regarding long chapter writing.
Hint: remember those glitches, they will be very important. ;-)
Now, the usual -and what makes the story go on-. If you liked and want to know about any updates and chapters, give this story a follow! If you reeeeeeeeeally loved, favorite :3 and, if you got any suggestions, questions or just want to express your feelings, review. Don't leave me hanging; your feedback is very important.
That being said, I take my leave. Thank you.
