I arrived at home and dropped on the couch. I looked at my phone then checked my account. '$250? I guess I get paid daily that actually works for me. Time to go get some food.' I checked the time first though and saw it was still only seven. 'Ok maybe after some sleep.' And with that I fell asleep to what I hoped to be peaceful… but as all things are in my life it never was.

Dan's dream.

"Dan… Dan wake up dude! It's Elizabeth's birthday!" Micheal's voice called me from the door. I groaned and opened my eyes. It was July 25th, Elizabeth Afton's birthday.

"I'm up, I'm up!" I groaned, hopping out of the bed and landing on my feet. Micheal was there at the door tapping his hand on the handle. "Oh calm down I'm coming dude."

Micheal rolled his eyes. "Yeah but you know she needs it now… we all do." We both looked down at the remembrance of michel's other little sister.

"It wasn't your fault you know that right?" The death had always weighed on everyone's mind but especially his… "It was a programming error, uncle Will had told us that."

Micheal shook his head, like he knew something I didn't. "Come on, let's go." I sighed at his mood but followed him into the living room. Elizabeth Afton the eight year old was bouncing around happy as can be. Uncle Afton looked bored, but gave a small smile to Elizabeth but gave both me and Micheal a blank stare. Then there was Bayley Afton, the mother of the family, who was always shifting between smiling at elizabeth to staring at Micheal with a sadden expression, and finally there was my sperm donor… otherwise known as my dad, Tyler Afton.

My dad was an asshole, he bordered being abusive. Feeding me? He will 'forget' or be too tired to even order. School? He'll have to be in a 'meeting' leaving me at the school for hours on end. Mom? Heh she left him after the… 16th incident of bringing a woman to the house and leaving a bad smell everywhere, and she didn't even bother taking me with her… she just left without a word, and she was just as bad as him in some ways.

We left for the newly open Freddie's Pizzeria, the old one had to shut down for… obvious reasons. The old location was to be closed down anyways so, it doesn't matter in some ways.

The convention was small ( note some animatronics aren't all here. Mangle and Puppet aren't here. That will be explained later. So the only animatronics here at the time were both Golden Freddie/ Freddie, Spring Bonnie/ Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy. Just wanted to go ahead and clear that up) it had some cool things like a main stage with three of the four newest characters. The last one had its own little cove in a corner spot of the place.

Elizabeth ran off to the main stage where a bunch of kids were either dancing to the songs or singing along. The rest of us scattered to one of the party rooms reserved for us at all times, since both William and his friend Henry were the owners and designers of this place and the animatronics.

It had been twenty minutes since we were in the room, everyone talking but… something wasn't right.

"Hey I'm gonna go use the bathroom mike (Micheal)" I told him standing up and walking to the door.

"Hey check with Elizabeth while you're there!" He yelled. I gave him a thumbs up and walked out. Everything in the main room was fine and Elizabeth was still there in front of the main stage with the other children. Shrugging I walked into the bathroom, took a piss, washed my hands, and walked out… and that was the problem.

When I walked out there was ambient silence. No sound of people talking, children playing or singing, not even a scent of food or pizza. The animatronics weren't on stage and the one in her cove was gone as well.

Then a light was shone in one of the hallways. I didn't want to move, but my body did anyway. The lights turned off one by one as I walked down the hall. The final light was on a door that said 'employees only'. I reached for the door handle, before receding back as I began to hear something.

'Save them…

'Save us…'

I reached for the door handle again, this time opening it to see a gruesome of people I knew, my friends… all stuffed into one of the animatronics… all dead.

'YOU CAN'T!'

I turned around to something or someone swinging at me with something sharp…

Dan's dream end

I snapped up in a cold sweat… I frantically looked around, before slowly taking deep breaths. I was shivering even though it was 73 degrees in my house right now and I was wrapped up in a blanket.

'Those days… haven't had those in a while.' I sat up and stretched out, looking at the time I saw that it was… 6:00! I groaned. 'Great half the day wasted on a nightmare.'

So with only six hours left until my shift, I got up showered then made some boneless wings that I had bought from the store before I started at Freddie's. Actually looking at my fridge I noted that I needed a lot more, and that's not including anything else I might need.

I took a quick walk around my home and took note of things I needed… 'ok needed the most. Running low on toothpaste, soap, toilet paper. Need some new clothes, but can survive for at least another night. Food is obvious.' I sighed looking at my list. I walked out of the apartment with about $200 in pocket so that I could go grab at least some of the things on the list…

hour and half later

Ok so managed to get everything on the list at a low cost but definitely enough to hold me over for at least a while. It was about seven thirty so instead of meditating or shadow boxing, which were one of my favorites to pass the time, I decided to look into what to expect for tonight's shift.

'Ok so what's my plan? There is obviously going to be more animatronics this time, if I play my cards right, even with tasks being assigned I should be fine.' I thought about looking around to find an old notebook and pencil. I'm going to write out anything I know about animatronics here and see if a strategy can be formed.

Freddie → likes to move in the dark, but never really comes off the stage.

Bonnie → Very active, approaches from the east hallway, will try to seduce me into opening the door.

Chica → Mildly active, approaches from the west hallway, will try to seduce me into opening the door or cover for anyone approaching from the east, or cause loud 'noises' to cause a distraction and lower guard.

Frexa → Apparently very fast if Chica's word is to be believed, no clue on which hallway will approach from.

Mangle → Might be friendly? Keep an eye out just in case.

Puppet → wind the music box and check every now and then.

'Ok I guess the main plan is to watch both Freddie and Frexa, since they are the biggest wildcard's of the bunch.' I sat down my pencil and looked at the time, 8:00.

With time on my hands I went into my free room in the apartment and began shadow boxing. I was defenseless and powerless for so long in my life, and paid heavy prices for it…. I promised myself that I wouldn't let that happen again.

11:15 pm

I arrived at the pizzeria to the sight of families leaving as the restaurant closed. Children looked sad at the fact that they had to leave their favorite animatronics, but brightened up when their parents would tell them that they would come back. I shook my head to shake the feeling of envy away.

'Stop it… don't envy others of what you couldn't have.' I walked over to the guards closing the doors, said hi then walked over to the office. I decided to go ahead and boot up the computer and see if I could get ahead on any tasks before 12:00. Hey, work smarter not harder.

Tasks:

Check prize counter prizes: 2 boxes of bonnie bowling balls, four plushies of each animatronic (that were also in sets of four), Marionette ticket counter.

Only one thing huh? Simple enough…

I picked up the tablet and walked out the office and towards the prize counter. I took note that someone was watching me. I snapped my head to where I thought they were only to see just a storage closet… no it was the SECOND storage closet. I was tempted to go in, to see what was in there but I didn't. Instead I continued forward to the counter.

'Ok so there are the bowling balls, and Chica is missing a set of plushies.' Now I turned my head to the box that houses the Marionette aka the ticket counter. 'How the hell do I check if the actual counter is working?'

I pondered this for a minute before checking the tablet for help. The video showed me going behind the box and using the key I as the nightguard am given to open and check the box. Dayshift actually makes sure it works, my job is to make sure there aren't any counterfeit coins and take the tickets out and store them for later usage.

I opened up the box and pulled out the container holding all the tickets. I placed it down and went over to grab an empty one and replace it, when I got a very close up look at something Interesting…

Black and white. The white was some white panties, and I think you can guess what the black is. It took me a few seconds to really understand what I was looking at, and in those few seconds the panties moved down like they were being pulled off. I went crimson and quickly moved the empty ticket holder in place and slammed the door closed.

*moaning*

I looked at the closed box for a minute, my body just hot as a furnace before I got up and walked away and back to the office at a quick pace.

*Giggle*

I turned back to the box and gave it a glare before looking at my tablet. 11:59. I paled before sprinting to the office. And just as I did, I heard the generator start up and the lights flicker off then back on again. I turned on the computer, plugged in the tablet and turned on the recording and sat back in my chair.

"Hello? Hey you're actually still here! Most people don't last this long… you know before they move on to different things…or to the afterlife" I caught that last bit even if I wasn't supposed to. "Anyways, things are really gonna kick into gear tonight."

'What?! What was before then?!' I checked the cameras and saw that both Chica and Bonnie were already closing in on the office, Freddie was staring at the camera from the stage. I quickly wound the music box before checking the coves, which luckily there was no one peeking out.

"Now I won't keep you long, but just know that EVERYONE is going to be active. Freddie moves, but only when she knows you aren't paying attention to her after a while. Fear not though, she tends to laugh which is a give away to where she is going." I quickly paused the recording to wind up the box and listen to any sounds around me.

The sound of feet walking slowly next to the office was heard from left and right. I sprinted out of the chair hitting the right door button then the left one. Chica and Bonnie both pouted at me, before giving their respective attributes a shake before leaving.

I sighed opening the doors and pressed continue on the recording. I looked back at the coves and saw an animatronic peeking out. The animatronic looked a lot similar to mangle, but she was a whole different design. She was still a fox-like but unlike Mangle; Foxy had a hook and an eyepatch over her right eye. Her breasts were being covered by what looked like bandages… and nothing else. She had similar bandages on her legs, and some light brown shorts with a belt on. Definitely a pirate.

She looked at the camera with lidded eyes. I swapped cameras to the music box, wound it up, then looked at the main stage Freddie wasn't looking at the camera anymore. I changed back to the coves and left it there before getting off the camera and listening back to the recording.

"Now I told you about Frexa already, but You should watch for Mangle as well. She might not be as fast as Frexa, but she is sneaky and quiet so if you see a hint of white and pink on the cams she is most likely there. That's it now, be careful soldier. OH!? And don't forget that you have a vent that also has a door button!" And then the recording turned off.

I checked the right door and there was Chica walking into the view of the window. I hit the door button again and turned away to look at the cameras to check on the box. Once I wounded it back up, I noticed that Chica was still at the window.

"Oh Danny boy~, open the door, will you please~? It can get a bit lonely here and being with only girls doesn't satisfy a certain itch. Can you help me please?" She gave me pouty lips while shaking her chest in front of the window.

I felt my own 'itch' rising but bit my lip and turned away. I heard Chica groan in dissatisfaction before trugging back down the east hall way. It wasn't for another second or two when I heard the sound of something getting close to the office and in a hurry. Without a thought I leaped to the left door button, and just narrowly had it close on the speeding animatronic.

"Ger, you're a fast one aren't yah?" The tone gave a dead give away of who it was, since they are in fact a pirate. Frexa looked in from the window. "Lucky now mate, but ye better be careful. This pirate always gets what she wants!" And without a word else, she left as fast as she came… her ass jiggling almost all the way.

I let out a huge sigh of relief, that had been too close. I looked at the camera to see Frexa entering her cove again, giving her hips a slight shake almost as if she knew I was watching. I swapped back to the Marionette's camera to wind the box which had gotten very low. I checked my power…

'78%, 2:40… Not bad' I thought, if this pace was kept I wouldn't have to worry about anything else.

"Alright nothing can make this go bad, so long as I stick to what I know I'll be fine." I was a fool to say that…

3:30 am

'65%. Ok this is still great.' A couple encounters with Frexa, Chica, and Bonnie again lowered it but still fine. And Freddie or Mangle had yet to move from their respective places, though in Mangle's case she would shy away the moment the camera was on her.

'Everyone is in their spot nothing ca–'

*GLASS SHATTERING*

The sound of glass being shattered alerted me back to the cameras. I checked the only place where the cams could see actual glass windows. Lo and behold there are about three guys, all who look like my age, come in from the shattered glass and in the main entrance.

What the hell are they doing here? Obviously not robbing, since they would have at least tried something more subtle.

The first guy who walked in patted himself down before gesturing for his buddies to follow. "Alright we're here, now let's have some fun!"

One of the guys raised an eyebrow. "And what of the nightguard Ryn?"

Ryn snorted, almost in disbelief. "Oh please there's never been a nightguard who has lasted the entire week aside from that Tayaya woman, and that was an entire year ago! Besides it was a nightguard that told us about the more attractive side of these things."

What does he… oh. Oh well that won't do. Can't let these idiots get themselves killed, or much less actually be able to go through with their ideas. Look at that, I finally get to relieve some stress and get to be an actual nightguard. Two birds, one stone.

Bonnie's pov

When the three of us heard the shattering glass, we had assumed it to be the guard. But when three men came from the main entrance and into the main area, it was obvious that these guys were not the nightguard.

We stayed motionless, as we focused on what might be going on.

"Oh god Ryn, you gotta let me have the bunny! Look at that ass man!" the one on the right said, I could practically see the lust dripping from his eyes.

"Nah, Mako, it's about them breasts! I'm calling dibs on the chicken for sure. " Then finally there was one

"I'll take Freddie then. You ignorant fools went for one thing in particular, I got a balanced package~" Ryn leered at Freddie with a lick of his lips. I felt disgusted, knowing exactly what these perverts are thinking. They kept getting closer and closer till they were at the foot of the stage. "Tonight we enjoy boys!"

The one called Mako started to climb the stage till a sharp whistle sound went through the air. The boys stopped to look over behind them. I moved my head slightly to see the night guard standing there with a narrowed glance and relaxed posture.

"Can I help you?" He asked walking up to be at least feet away from the group. " Place is closed right now, if you wish to see the girls then come back to visiting hours when we are open." He instructed them montonely.

Ryn scoffed at this, and the two other boys snickered. "Well look at that! A nightgurard! Quick Tyhe give me a camera, it's a wild one! HAHAHA!" Ryn was clutching his stomach laughing while his other friends were rolling on the ground.

But Dan was motionless and not even fazed as he spoke again. "I'm going to ask you to leave the property immediately, and if you do the only thing you have to answer for is the broken window and temporary trespassing." That got them to stop, before looking at Dan with anger.

"Oh yeah? And what are you gonna do about it, tough guy?" Mocked the Mako, "There's three of us and only one of you."

Dan still not fazed, slightly shifted his feet and spoke again. "Last warning. Leave the property. Otherwise I will have to remove you FORCEFULLY."

Ryn walked up to Dan and spit on the ground in front of him. "You ain't got to do nothing, bitch." That was the last thing he did before he was flipped and landed on the ground with a hard thud. "GAHH!"

The other two seeing their friend get slammed decided to try their luck and rushed together… they never stood a chance. Dan ducked under a punch then side stepped another and tripped the one called Mako, who promptly got a knee to the stomach and a right uppercut to the chin. He was soon promptly on the ground holding his stomach, his mouth bleeding and frothing.

The last guy was now hesitant seeing his buddies knocked down, but gave a yell before charging…and he got a punch to the face and his eyes rolled up in his head, with blood draining from his mouth and nose.

Ryn had gotten back up holding his head. He looked down at his unconscious friends and back at Dan "YOU FUCKE–" He was promptly stopped by a sock in his mouth.

"You're too noisy." and then he knocked his ass out with a sucker punch to his head. And just like that they were all on the ground knocked out.

Dan sighed. Dan brought out the tablet and put his finger on some part of the tablet, then he looked at the guys on the floor. "So do you guys have any rope or tape?" He said, looking at us.

None of us moved for a minute, then Freddie looked and then the rest of us. Freddie stood staring down at Dan with a scary glare, but Dan shockingly looked at her unfazed and when he didn't get an answer he glared right back. And Freddie actually flinched back.

Chica walked off the stage and into the storage closet and came back with some rope and handed it to Dan. Dan gave Chica a grateful nod and gathered the three boys and tied them up, and sat them next to a wall. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello? Yes I would like to report a breakin report at Freddie's Pizzeria. There are three… yes there all here. No I'm fine, the three are unconscious as of the moment. They might need slight medical attention, nothing lethal. Thank you." If that call was anything to go by he must have called the police. Dan turned to the rest of us. "Do you wish to continue your little game against me? The cops will be here in 5 minutes?"

Again no noise. Freddie was glaring at Dan again, but said nothing and stood back in her normal position and closed her eyes. Dan looked at the rest of us almost like he was daring us to not agree. We both followed Freddie's steps and got in our normal position and closed our eyes…

Dan pov

I looked back at Freddie with a bit of anger in my eyes, after handing the goon trio to the police. She had a more haughty stance to her and I knew right away that would be an issue going into later nights. I walked back to the office. It was 4:30, I pulled up cams.

Bonnie had left the stage and was in the storage closet but she wasn't even trying to be sexy or anything like that, she was just there on a chair with a thinking pose. She didn't even seem to notice the camera was on, I switched to the other cams, but everyone else was fin— what 's that in the east hallway? Taking a closer look I saw what looks to be a bunny tail heading into the vents. Bonnie was still in the first storage closet. So who was that?

I shook my head. It was 5:30 and then the music box gave me a warning. It was blinking red, so I had to quickly switch over to the music box and wind it up.

*Giggle*

Who the hell was that? I checked the left door, nothing. Right door? Nothing. I was confused until I remembered the little warning that Phone gal said, I have a vent.

Tilting my head down I hit another light button that was directly next to the vent. Then I saw another animatronic that looked like Bonnie, but she was golden and had little patches of her skin missing color or revealed some endoskeleton. Her body was slim compared to Bonnie, which would explain how she could fit in the vents in the first place since Bonnie's dumptr– I mean butt, would get stuck in the vents.

"Hey there cutie~ mind if I come in?" She said slowly but surely getting closer. It wasn't until she was just a foot away that I recognized her. She was one of the older animatronics from the previous location… She worked along with that other animatronic.

Looking at the animatronic, I felt a little bit of burning rage staring at remembrance of that place. So many bad memories… so much pain.

I stared back at the golden animatronic. "Yes I actually do mind." and then I shut the vent. I really don't like remembering my past…

I sat up and sat back in the office chair and saw something peculiar on my desk. It was a plush of… a golden Freddie? It looked just like Freddie but instead of the brown color, it was gold with a light color of yellow in the middle. Again though, I recognized it from the old location as being merchandise for the actual thing.

I was tempted, SO very tempted to trash it. But against whatever reason or mind in my head, I picked the damn thing up and put it in a little backpack that was sold for free at the store.

*Ding Dong Ding Dong*

Seeing the night was over I put on my backpack and walked out the building, without so much as looking at the guards who had their mouths hanging from the ground. I reached home and took out the little plush and set it up with some of the random stuff in my room. I wasn't sure why I still had it, but I couldn't care less.

I began shadow boxing again, this time though I visualized my enemies. It was my father and Uncle Willam. I was so blinded by it that I never noticed the plush's eyes moving, watching my every move…
