That night was another nightmare night of the past. The dreams had become a lot more frequent ever since I finished my shift. I would be shadow boxing then BAM! A flashback to a day in the pizzeria with the animatronics looking dead at me. Another was of a weird golden bear with the eyes completely gone then it ended with a message of 'it's me'.

But this one was a bit closer to me… or should I say arm.

Dan's dream ( bit a warning for squeamish people)

It was two weeks after the missing girls incident, or if you were anywhere else in the US, 'the missing children's incident'. That however wasn't my full concern right now the full concern was the absolute beat down I was in now.

You see, with the now ongoing investigation going on. The Pizzeria has been losing business, Uncle william and his partner were fine money wise. If they kept a cool head they could have the business up and running in maybe a year or a couple of months.

The same could not be said for my dad. See he was holding a stock or at least some part of the company, but he never did any work outside of that. Unfortunately that meant when the restaurant shut down, he had no money to fall back on and was left with any money on hand or in the bank (which wasn't all that much). So naturally he responded by doing the one thing he knew best, he blamed it on me.

Now don't ask the reason, there probably isn't one. So he blames me for all of his income misfortune. His 'stress relief' with random women wasn't cutting it so he resulted in more… violent approach. His new stress relief was for me to be his punching bag. And the goal was to always get the most reactions out of me, and every time it was painful.

You would think somebody would do something… but it never did. In fact, no one even knew what was happening to me. Why? Well being in a basement filled with so much tech, and being underground so deep that it really couldn't be classified as even a bunker would do it. ( sister location)

Punching me, whipping me…breaking bones. Yeah he broke bones, and I think he would have broken EVERY bone in my body, but then I would be dead… which honestly I think would have been better.

But one day I overheard a conversation that was sickening.

"So how many is that now? 9?" It was my father, but who was he talking to?

"Yep. I think that should be enough for our goals, the pizzeria served us well…" Was that… Uncle William? "Aside from that little mishap, you did cover your tracks right? We don't need any of those bodies to be traced to us."

Bodies? Pizzeria… oh my god. They killed them! But why though?! What goal do they achieve, by killing them!? And they said eight, but the incident was only six kids… the other location. They had killed before, and that must have been why they had been so frantic to close the location and move it. They had gotten a taste of killing and then managed to somehow cover it up.

"Of course! I've even been 'studying' the energy we've received, and I can say with guarantee it can be used as a weapon." He turned his head to me holding a bat which had some weird silver spots that were on the bat, the rest was on some part of my body.

Uncle William grunted. "How does it react?"

My father, saying nothing, walked over to me, bat raised. I tried to move away but my left leg was broken and my right leg was bruised. He swung at my stomach.

BLEGH!

I puked blood out onto the ground and onto me. I blinked frantically to at least stay awake. My father showed the bat to Uncle William, the bat's silver was glowing and slightly turning red… something Uncle William took notice of.

"Does it always turn red when that happens?" He asked. My father looked at the bat then shook his head. "I would try to see if maybe more pain equals a better reaction."

My father got a malicious smile. "Here that Danny boy~!? More father and son bonding time!" He turned to Uncle William. "C– William, why don't you head out? If anything happens I'll let you know."

Uncle smiled then left into a door that slid open, then shut. My father walked over and looked around before he brought out… a saw. My eyes widened and my heart raced.

I wanted to yell, but my throat had been sore and had been hurting. I had screamed so much that any more noise would ACTUALLY tear my throat to shreds.

So with tears in my eyes, I stuck out my right arm. The bastard smiled and swung the saw and…

Dan's dream end

I woke up panting and in a cold sweat. I grabbed my right robotic arm, in a phantom pain. I looked around, I was in my room and it was 11:30 am, some lunch was in order. I got up and walked out of my room and took a shower. I walked into the kitchen and began making some catfish and spaghetti, with a peanut shake.

I knew that I had enough time to do literally anything else, but I thought to instead just perform some little maintenance on my arm. Yeah, that's right. I not only BUILT my right arm, but I perform maintenance on it too… and yet still couldn't get a job with any electric or maintenance company.

I sat in the living room and just began tinkering with my arm. It seems with the 'fight' I had with those idiots yesterday, the system was trying to update. See, my arm can also act like a sudo phone, so it updates and gets rid of things that I don't need… makes me wonder why I actually have a phone.

I got an alert on it for some weird power surge that appeared in my house at… 6:45pm? That's the same time I got home, so what the hell was it? I checked my camera that I had set up (read: built) at my front door.

Watching the feed, I saw that the surge happened when my backpack entered. The only thing that bothered me was what had been in there that could have caused it. The only things I brought back were any uneaten snacks and… that Golden Freddie Plushie.

I turned my head to the plush, and it seemingly looked back at me. I closed my eyes and opened it up again, and the plush was looking at the wall where I originally put it.

Strange…

I sighed and continued on my arm maintenance. It took about 40 minutes but it was… relaxing. If there was one upside to being related to my fucked up family, it's that we have great mechanical skills. I was going to go on a jog when I got a call.

"Hey Dan this Henry, I was wondering if you can come now? Two of the employees called in sick today, and were short. Don't worry about the night shift, I'll give you at least a two hours and a half hour break to rest." Henry told me.

I looked at the clock, it was only 12:30 and it's not like I had anything else to do. " I'm in. What time do I need to be there?"

Henry sighed over the phone. "As fast as you can. And thank you." He hung up.

I got off the couch and went to grab my backpack. I tossed in a couple of snacks then went to go grab my phone. I accidentally hit my wall, but when I heard nothing fall I shrugged it off.

I was at the pizzeria at about 12:45. I walked into the Pizzeria to be greeted by someone new.

"Hey! Welcome to Freddie's!" It was a girl… no an animatronic girl. She had caucasian skin, light brown hair, and red blushing cheeks. She had a propeller hat that was blue and red, and a short sleeved shirt that was the same color, and navy blue shorts. She had a sign that had the word 'balloons' on it.

"Hi… who are you?" I asked, never seeing and might possibly have to worry about another animatronic tonight. The animatronic pouted.

" I'm BB, short for balloon babe! I'm relatively new here at this location, but I was at the old location." I see. Henry must have brought her out today.

"Well nice to meet you, but I have got to go clock in for my shift. See you later." I said before walking towards the office passing any children and parents. I sat my stuff down before heading to the manager's office.

Henry was there writing something down on some papers. He looked at me, opening the door. "Hey, you put your stuff down in the office already?" I nodded. "Ok, well here take this." He gave me a little tag with the word employee on it. " Your job is just to make sure no one breaks anything or hurts anyone. Also make sure to give anyone the boot if they cause too much trouble."

I shrugged, it seemed easy enough. I walked out of the office and decided to go to a little spot next to the prize counter. Aside from the coves you can see every part of the pizzeria. I stood there at that spot for nearly two hours and nothing happened. A couple of kids arguing about who won the most tickets and a couple of parents talking about how their lives are.

After deciding that it was ok to move, seeing as more of my co-workers were now roaming this area, I walked over to the coves first making my way to Foxy's. Foxy was actually in the middle of a show at the moment, telling stories of her adventures of the seven seas.

She saw me and got a twinkle in her eye. She subtly kicked one of the play swords to me. Then she pointed her sword at me. " Ay, there is an infamous sea thief." When all the kids turned their attention towards me she mouths ' Play along'.

I kicked up the sword in the air and admired it while talking in a mocking tone. "My if it isn't the famous captain Foxy. And look at that, she brought her little crew ,how cute."

Foxy got off her stage and jumped down to be in front of the kids, like she was protecting them. "No one calls my crew cute! They be new pirates!"

"Like you said new. Their nothing but some cannon fodder, or some good deck scrubbers." My voice becoming arrogant and mocking. The kids and Foxy got some anger in their eyes, well Foxy's was more fake. "Ah, the little crew and their babysitter are upset. If you have something to say, then pick up your sword and fight!" I say holding my sword out giving a smirk.

The kids got out their own swords and pointed at me. Frexa smiled, then yelled. "Charge!" And they did with surprising speed for kids that were only maybe 6 - 10.

Now they are kids so I couldn't just hit them or harm them to any big extent, or you know I get fired or I have angry parents on them. But quick and gentle takedowns, or using the table sheets (Which were clean) and tying them up? Simple and effective. So that's what I did. I took swords and tossed them away, tied up a group in table sheets, and untied some shoes to trip them and also tie them.

Eventually there was only me and Frexa. I was on the opposite side of the room now, and I had a clear sight of the entrance to the cove. Foxy swung with a downward slash to be met with a parry from me. Foxy swore under her breath for the children not to hear, but I did.

"Having performance issues captain~?" I teased her. Frexa's eyes snapped to me and I could've sworn that she had a blush on her face. I smiled until I saw something from the entrance to the coves. Two men were entering Mangle's cove, and I knew them but not pleasantly. It was two of the guys from the break in yesterday night.

Deciding that it was time for me to stop any trouble those guys would most likely cause, I pulled out a neat trick. "Sorry captain for such short notice, but I must take my leave now." I said, getting all the kids out of their restraints.

Frexa and the kids surrounded me. "Oh, and why would me or my crew allow that?"

I chuckled and took a table sheet. "Don't you know the old saying? He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day!" ( if you have ever watched power rangers and know Rito Revolto. Think of it in that voice.) and then I spun the sheet to blindside everyone and 'vanished' from their sights and entered Mangle's cove.

Mangle was also hosting a show as well like Frexa's, but unlike her Mangle's was focused on storytelling of folklore, children's books, or singing soft songs or lullabies (mainly for any actual babies that were there). Mangle was actually telling her last story of the night, and it was the classic 'Cat in the Hat'.

The kids sat and listened to Mangle read, while the two dudes seemed to be watching more than listening. They kept looking at Mangle with their faces growing more and more disgusting, until they snapped out of it any time a kid would look their way.

Once the story was over, all the kids left after saying goodbye to Mangle. The two dudes, which on further inspection seemed to be Ryn and Tyhe, not that I cared cause at the moment they were making their way towards Mangle.

"Well, you sure got a pretty voice." Ryn said, walking up to her with the most stretched and fake smile.

Mangle must have sensed something coming since she started to back up closer to her stage. "T-thank you… but my show is over."

Ryn playfully scoffed at her before leaning towards her, with Tyhe going behind her. "Ohh that stinks. But I heard a little rumor that you might have an extra show for very special customers~" His hand was reaching for her chest, but it never reached.

"You know, you must have a tendency to do things that would harm others." I said holding his wrist and staring at him in the face. I pushed him and his boy off Mangle, who promptly got behind me.

"Well looky here it's the guard…" Ryn was now slightly nervous, even if he didn't show it. "You know I have to pay at least $3,500 for last night?"

I gave him a look. "I don't care. I gave you ample opportunity to leave, but you and your boys didn't. Now I'll give you that same warning, only this time once. Leave the premises and you won't be charged."

A crowd had formed in front of the cave entrance, but had yet to say a word. They watched like they were watching an intense showdown. Ryn snarled at me.

"I'll leave… when I wi—" He yelled running at me with his fist raised, only to be met with my fist right in his face. He was now on the ground, bleeding again, only this time he was missing a tooth. Tyhe got the exact same result.

I sighed as I looked up and saw the crowd cheering, with both Henry and Frexa there as well giving me a smile. Henry called over two more employee's to get the two and put them in a spot in the Pizzeria till the cops came. Frexa however got an interesting glint in her eye.

"I think the lad deserves a reward! What do we say?" Frexa says to the crowd. Henry got a mischievous smile on his face as well.

" Why don't you give the boy a kiss on the cheek Mangle?" He said. Mangle at this point was holding her cheeks that didn't hide her blush. "Ah don't be shy, it's just a little kiss on the cheek."

Poor Mangle looked like she was going to pass out soon. I motioned for her to go into her stage, which she did with speed that rivaled Frexa. I turned to Frexa and Henry who were chuckling. "Why'd you have to tease Mangle like that?"

Frexa rolled her eyes and wrapped an arm around me. "Ay, don't be like that mate. She'll be fine by the night mate, just in time for the game~." She spoke teasing me by blowing something in my ear.

Henry looked at me with a raised eyebrow. " I'll be honest, I thought they stopped the game. To hear that they were doing the game and you stayed, is a big win in my books."

I looked at the time, it was about 8:30. "Well I thank you for the vote of confidence boss, but if you don't mind me. I'm going to go and take that long break and wake me up by 11:00 if I ain't up by 10:45" I said before I walked to the office propped the chair so I could go to sleep.

Two hour timeskip.

I woke up and immediately looked at the clock on my phone. 10:30am.

'Well at least I got the perfect time to do anything before my night shift starts.' I got up and exited the office to find Henry. Henry was actually ushering customers out the door, making me confused. Henry turned to me when he heard my footsteps.

"Ah, awake I see." He said ushering the last customer out.

I nodded. "Yeah. What's up with ushering people out already? Thought we didn't close till 11:30." Henry nodded his head in understanding.

"Yes, but people began complaining about some type of bomb threat that was posted online around an hour after you fell asleep, saying it was going to happen in thirty minutes." Henry explained, sighing and sounding like he was too tired to deal with this stuff. "Well luckily police came and found no evidence of this, but I was still suspect of it so–"

"You told everyone of a fake maintenance or something like that and want me to watch out for anything in my own shift." I said summing up the gist of what he was getting at. Henry smiled at me and put a hand on my shoulder.

"If I have to retire, you're gonna be the new manager of this place." He then turned to the coves. "If you could, can you mop Mangle and Frexa's coves before your shift is over."

I rolled my eyes at the poor attempt for him to TELL me to mop. He left shortly after with nothing more than a goodbye. I went to the first storage closet, grabbed the mop and the bucket and went to the coves.

I decided that Frexa's cove would be better to start off since she would tease me or Mangle mercilessly for whatever reason she could find.

I entered the cove to see Frexa herself putting up some of the play swords from earlier. "Hey Frexa!"

She turned towards me and pointed to the tables. "Move em lassie. Be better for you to mop." She then went onto take the chairs and move them out of the way, while I took the tables. When I started moping, Frexa moved onto her stage to give me room. It didn't take long, and I was done right around 11:01.

I left Foxy's area before she spoke out from her stage. "Oi Danny boy! Just to let you know EVERYONE is gonna be coming from ya. And I even left a couple of tips for ya in the office."

I grew nervous at that but gave Frexa a smile and moved to Mangle's cove. She was also there but she was putting up her books. She noticed me and gave a wave, before swiftly turning away.

I began moping when she turned back around. Mangle walked on to her stage but instead of disappearing she stared at me, but would eep and turn away if I looked at her. I chuckled and completed her cove. I gave Mangle a two finger salute, before leaving.

I reached the office after dropping the mop supplies into storage, and just in time. 12:00 just came around and I turned on the computer and hit the tape that was there for this night and switched to Puppet's music to wind it up.

"Hello?! My god you're still working here?!" She sounded stressed out, then I heard banging on the doors in the background. "Look this might be one of my last messages so listen closely. There are two more animatronics which you've probably seen in the second storage office. They are from the old pizzeria a long time ago."

"The golden rabbit is Springbonnie, she's like an older version of Bonnie." The banging of the doors increased, and moans could be heard sounding suspiciously like Freddie. Phone gal gulped "Anyways she tends to go in the vents most of the time or hide in the west hallways storage closet, which also has a vent connected straight to your office. If she goes in there just shine your light above you, she likes the surprise reaction, so if you show that you know she is there she'll back off."

"And if you see the golden Freddie just cl— oh no…" I heard the phone gal's power run out in the background and some music started playing. "No no no no…" And then cue a moan and a distorted scream, then the call hung up.

'Okay… that wasn't terrifying, not at all.' I switched to the main stage cam… they were all gone. I flipped through the cameras to find them, both Chica and Bonnie were in the hallways and Freddie was in the main party room on the table with her legs crossed sitting on a table. She gave the camera a wink and blew a kiss.

I backed off the camera when I heard feet next to my left and right. I blasted off the chair and hit the left door, before taking my shoe off and throwing it at the right door.

I heard ' awhs' coming from both doors. I sighed before getting back on the computer and wound up the music box. When I heard them leave I opened the doors, but had to immediately shut the left again as a red blur slammed into it.

"Gahh! Hey that hurt!" Frexa's voice came from the other side.

"Then maybe you shouldn't have ran down the hallway!" I yell back. I heard her swore and ran off back to her cove. Then I remembered her note about the new animatronic.

It read, ' Hey the new girl BB said her plan was to go through the east hallway and enter the vent to get you. But she said she wouldn't attack you, but simply open and shut doors at random. ( kinda like the penguin from Candy's)'

'Okay so she is going to be annoying to deal with.' I then swapped cameras to Mangle's cove to see she was peeking out of the stage. She saw the camera and blushed and went back to her stage. 'Mangle and Frexa both need to be watched.'

*Laughter*

Freddie was now outside the woman's bathroom presenting her ass to the camera. 'Oh man… this is gonna get rough!'

Timeskip to 3:40 am.

Things had gone to shit and fast. Foxy had hit the doors at least three separate times causing my power to dip in fast and steady increments. Bonnie and Chica would camp my doors and persistently try to tempt me into opening them. And Freddie, BB and the Puppet were constantly needing attention otherwise I lost track of Freddie, or the music box would get low, or BB would get into my office!

So here I am with 55% power, and a dream which wasn't looking good.

'Ok plan 1 failed. Plan two failed. And there wasn't another… I'm screwed' I groaned as I again shut the door to another Frexa run. Make that 45% power now. I was getting nervous, there was only so much I could do until I either got caught or I ran out of power.

I was so distracted by that fact that I never heard the right door shut until it hit the ground. Now I heard Chica groan again, before walking off. What I was not expecting was my face to turn around and come face to face with Mangle.

"AH–" Then she put her hand over my mouth. I was a bit terrified that she was about to kill me, and that this was how it was about to end. She moved her hand then put a finger to her mouth like she was shushing me.

"F-follow me…" Was all she said before she began walking out the left door. I didn't really know what to do, but Mangle has been nice to me since the beginning so I grabbed the tablet and followed her out. Now even though Mangle was white and pink, she was very hard to see in the dark.

'Must be how she was able to sneak up on me.' I nearly bumped into something until I felt something wrap around my hand and guide me away. It was soft and smooth.

"J-just h-hold on to my tail." Mangle's voice said in front of me. It was at this time that I realized that the animatronics were probably a lot more softer than what I originally thought. I let Mangle sneak me to her cove, managing to avoid all the others. We got onto the stage then went into Mangle's underground room.

Once we got there I (regrettably) let go of her tail and sat on the bed. Mangle took her tail and put it on her lap. I smiled at the shy animatronic, before getting up and hugging her. "Thanks Mangle, you're a lifesaver." I said thanking her.

Mangle froze up, but her tail was moving around lazily so I guess that's a good sign. I stayed there until we heard the sound of the trap door of Mangle's room open. We both stiffened, if they saw me it was most likely over and I had no escape route.

Coming down the stairs was Mangle's sister herself, Frexa. I was a bit nervous seeing the glint in her eyes. She began walking towards me and Mangle till she was right in front of us. She traced her hand down my right arm and gave it an occasional squeeze. I shivered slightly at her touch until she moved away with an eyebrow raised.

"So Dan, is that a synthetic arm?" My eyes widened before sighing and moving back onto the bed. I sat down mindlessly holding my finger on the wind up of the Marionette's music box. I was less than happy with the already everyday reminder of my arm.

It was cool, sure but nevertheless it was still VERY painful to get. "Yes, I would tell you but…" I looked Frexa in the eyes. "It's not a very fun nor short story to tell, maybe one day I will."

Frexa and Mangle stared at me, pity both shining in their eyes. Mangle walked over and hugged me on one side, while Frexa the other side. " I hope I didn't bring any bad memories…" Frexa said softly.

I chuckled non humorously. "Don't be… I've lived with this reminder for a long long while." I then yawned. "I was a lot more sleepy than I thought. Do you mind if I sleep here?"

Mangle shook her head and almost got up. ALMOST.

Frexa had another idea, she literally pulled the covers down, pushed me down, then Mangle, and finally pulled the covers over us right after she got under there herself.

"F-Frexa! What are you doing?!" Mangle squeaked out.

"Shush now, you should be happy. This is your first guard 'capture'! Besides this will be his punishment for losing." Then she looked at me with a salacious smirk. "That is unless he wants a different punishment~" She said, grabbing my right hand to lay on her… firm and quite big ass.

I blushed, turning away unable to move my right hand. Frexa gave a tiny chuckle as she turned to lean into me, while her tail laid lazily across my leg. "Follow my league sis."

Mangle looked like she was going to say something but blushed and followed Frexa's moves and copied her. Mangle had actual steam come out of her ears and was not looking at me in the face. Frexa laughed before snuggling up closer, and eventually I just stopped caring and fell asleep between the two sisters.
