Here's the second chapter. Sorry if it took awhile. I have to study for finals for the week. I'll post the third chapter probably when this week ends. Enjoy chapter two. :)

It was getting close to midnight. The restaurant had already closed it's doors for the night, and the supposedly inanimate figures were still on their stages. Three of them stood on the main stage:

One of them was a snake animatronic that had the head of a cottonmouth snake with a brown straw hat on, and a red handkerchief wrapped around it's neck. It's body was broad and long, with a tail that curled up on the back of it, and camouflaged clothes on and wheels on the bottom of him so that he could move. The clothes had no sleeves on the shirt and no legs on the pants. He stood on the right side of the stage.

Another one of them was a bobcat animatronic that stood on the left side of the stage, with big yellow eyes. She was shorter than the snake, and she wore jeans that were ripped where the knees were, and a white tank top with a camouflaged jacket.

The third one stood in the middle, and he was bigger than the two that stood at the sides of him. He was an alligator animatronic, with a decent sized mouth that could open really wide, and he had big green eyes. He wore a straw hat on his head, overalls, and a gray shirt. His tail extended out and laid on the floor, and the color of his body was dark green.

Opposite side of the stage, passed the tables and chairs, was another smaller stage that stood one animatronic:

She was an animatronic beaver, with medium-sized buck teeth, and brown eyes. She wore a yellow v-neck t-shirt, and capri jeans rolled up just before her knees. Also, she had brown bangs just above her eyes, and all the rest of her fur was brown.

The area of the restaurant with the animatronics was connected to another dining area that was for regular or business diners, and there were two entrances at the sides of the beaver animatronic's stage. Swinging doors separated both sides, but in the animatronic dining room, just passed the main stage was a door that lead to the extra storage room that contained spare parts for the animatronics. The other dining area with no animatronics lead to another room where a large desk was for incoming customers, and then it connected to another room for sitting space for waiting diners. The bathrooms were to the right side of the stage and the right side in the regular dining room. On the opposite side of the bathrooms was the kitchen that connected to both dining rooms, and there was also another back door in the kitchen that lead to an extra room that was locked. There were also three doors that led to three hallways from the kitchen, regular dining room, and the large desk room to another room where the night guard would stay.

As Lily entered the restaurant, she could feel an eeriness in the air, as she remembered how it felt to enter Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. She headed straight towards the Night Guard room, and saw that there was a large wooden desk with a rolling chair that stood before three dark hallways. There was also a computer screen device(like an I-pad), on the desk plugged into the desk since there was a hole in it that lead to a computer that was inside of it. Four red buttons were on a metal grid on the table that stood on the right of the I-pad screen, and there were three white buttons that stood left of the I-pad screen. Lily sat down on the black chair, as she looked and saw a manual on the desk.

'They said to come a little earlier so that I could read the manual. Let's see what this says,' Lily thought, as she opened the thin black book.

The book read:

"Welcome to your first day working in Allen Alligator's Restaurant. You are the Night Guard, and this room is your place to watch over the animatronics and the restaurant. Of course, there's not much you have to watch out for besides the animatronics. They tend to get more frisky and curious at night, so they may come to your room. If they get too close, you can flash the hall lights to see them, and then close the door of which hallway they're coming from with the red buttons. Be careful if you close all three doors at the same time because the power plug they're connected to will short circuit after about ten seconds and the doors will all open on their own. They won't be able to close for a little while, so it's best to NOT keep all three doors closed at one time for long. Just, try to be safe, and watch the animatronics CAREFULLY. Have a nice night... if you can. -Management."

While reading the manual, Lily became a little annoyed, seeing as the management knew something was wrong, but they didn't do much about it. Then Lily placed the manual on the table, as she set her backpack she took with her on the ground, and then she pulled out her phone from her pocket and placed it on the desk. She dialed a number and set her phone on speaker, as she took the I-pad screen and started looking through it, realizing that it was similar to the camera of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.

She was able to see most of the rooms in the restaurant, including the two dining rooms, the extra storage room, the front entrances of the bathrooms, the waiting area, the room with the large desk, the kitchen, and the front entrances of the hallways before her. Then Lily noticed that one of the cameras showed a room in the kitchen that was closed off and what was written on it was a paper sign that said,

"KEEP DOOR LOCKED."

'interesting,' Lily thought, and then she heard her brother's voice on her phone say,

"Hello? Lily?"

"Hey Ethan. I'm in the restaurant now, sitting at my desk," Lily said.

"Oh good, you got in just fine. Are there cameras and stuff there? Can you see the animatronics?" Ethan asked.

"Yes, I can see them and most of the rooms in the restaurant. There's a locked room, so that's one less place to worry about," Lily said, as she continued looking through the cameras that showed the animatronics on the stages.

"Okay good. Are you sure you want to stay there? I mean, you still have time to leave now," Ethan said.

"No Ethan. I'm staying the night," Lily said, determined.

"-sign- Okay. Let me know if anything happens or if you get into trouble. I'll see what I can do. For now, just be very careful," Ethan said.

"Alright," Lily said.

Then Lily heard movement and rustling on the phone, and then she heard Mike's voice say,

"Hey Lily. I'll be on the phone now. Ethan's still building that."

"Okay," Lily said.

Then Lily looked at her digital watch on her right hand, and it read: 11:59.

'It's time,' Lily thought, and she took a deep breath in and out.

"You ready for this?" Mike asked.

"I'm ready," Lily said, and then her watched turned to 12:00.

The night shift began, as Lily flipped the camera to where the animatronics were. They weren't moving, and their heads were slightly downward, signaling that they were 'off,' although Lily wasn't sure.

'They get frisky and curious at night... then they're active alright. But they're not moving yet,' Lily thought, and she looked through the other cameras.

-Time skip-

When the time hit 3:00, Lily was occasionally looking through the cameras, but there was no movement from the animatronics.

"Has anything new happened?" Mike asked over the phone.

"Nothing still. They haven't moved at all. I don't think they know I'm here," Lily speculated.

"That's a good thing," Ethan's voice was heard in the background.

"Did you finish building it?" Lily asked her brother.

"Not yet, almost," Ethan said.

Then Lily focused on the cameras, as she flipped through to the animatronics. The three animatronics on the stage were still there, but when Lily flipped to the lone animatronic beaver on the other stage, she wasn't there. Lily's heart raced in that moment, as she flipped through the cameras, and found the stray beaver in front of the bathrooms, looking away from the camera.

"S-She moved," Lily said in a slightly shaken voice.

"One of them moved?!" Mike asked over the phone, and a shifting was heard over the phone.

"What? Is it close to you?" Ethan asked.

"No, she's actually further," Lily said, as she looked at the lone animatronic.

"Okay good. You have doors right? Make sure you remember that," Ethan said, helpfully.

"Trust me, I won't forget," Lily said, as she flipped through the cameras towards the other animatronics.

"The others haven't moved yet, but I'll keep an eye on them," Lily said.

"Make sure to do that," Mike said, as he came back on the line.

-Time skip- 5:00

The beaver animatronic wondered around the restaurant, but she didn't go near the hallways. Lily kept an eye on her, and she also opened up the manual and read the next page that she didn't notice since it was stuck to the back of the first one. It read:

"The names of the animatronics are Allen Alligator, Brenda Bobcat, Slither Snake, and Beatrice Beaver. Please be respectful of the animatronics... and careful. Their teeth are sensitive."

After Lily closed the book, she looked through the cameras again to check on the animatronics, but then she heard banging noises in the distance. She looked through the cameras, and she saw Beatrice Beaver looking towards the kitchen from the regular dining room, and then she saw that Slither Snake and Brenda Bobcat were also looking towards the kitchen.

'That's the first time those two moved,' Lily thought, and she switched the camera to the kitchen.

She saw that nothing was there, and that the locked door was still locked.

'Strange,' Lily thought, as she switched the camera back to the animatronics, and saw that Beatrice was in the same place.

However, when she looked on stage, Slither was missing, and Brenda and Allen were looking directly at the camera.

"They know," Lily said, as she quickly flipped through the cameras to look for the snake animatronic.

"Aw man, are they on the move?" Mike asked over the phone.

"Yes," Lily said, as she finally caught Slither in the kitchen.

"Be careful Lily!" Ethan yelled in the background.

"I will," Lily said, as she flipped the camera towards where Beatrice was, and saw that she was in the room with the large desk.

Then when Lily flipped back to look for Slither, she saw that he stood in front of the entrance of the hallway on her left. Lily looked up and prepared herself with her hand on the white button. Then she quickly looked at the camera and saw that Allen hadn't moved, but that Brenda was off the stage, but still in sight of the camera. Then Lily heard shifting, as she looked up, and pressed on the left hall light. Her eyes widened when she saw Slither looking at her halfway through the hallway. She immediately closed the left hallway door. After she did so, Lily heard a light knock on the left door, and when she looked at the camera, Slither was back outside of the hallway in the kitchen.

"Phew," Lily said, relieved.

Then she looked through the cameras, and saw that Beatrice and Slither hadn't moved, but when she flipped to the main stage, Allen stood on the stage alone, and Brenda wasn't there. Allen had a sinister grin on his face, and Lily quickly flipped the camera to the hallways to look for Brenda. Lily turned on each hallway light, and then she saw Brenda in the center hallway, near the end of it. Lily looked at Brenda a little longer, as Brenda looked at her with a sharp-toothed smiled.

Suddenly Brenda bended her head a bit down, and started running down the hallway towards Lily. Lily immediately closed the center hall door near her. She heard a bang on the door, as her heart beat sped up.

"Lily, what's that sound?" Mike asked over the phone.

"S-She ran. The bobcat ran t-towards me. Not even trying to sneak," Lily said in surprise.

"That reminds me of Foxy," Mike said.

"But it wasn't the same though. It was like if she wanted me to notice her so that she could run to catch me. As if she enjoys the chase," Lily said.

"Oh s-" Mike was cut off by Ethan, who said,

"Your in a different place than Freddy's. The animatronics may not be the same."

"Right," Lily said, as she flipped through the cameras and saw that Brenda stood in the regular dining room.

Then another bang was heard, followed by a couple of more, as Lily quickly looked through the cameras and saw that the animatronics were looking towards the kitchen yet again. Lily was questionable to what the banging was, but then she heard a couple of rings from a clock that hung just above the center door. It read 6 o'clock, and Lily knew that her shift was over. She quickly flipped through the cameras, and saw that the animatronics retreated to their respective positions on their stages.

"Your done. Hurry up out of there Lily," Ethan said over the phone.

"Alright. I'll see you soon," Lily said, as she hung up her phone and put it in her pocket.

After pulling on her backpack, Lily quickly and quietly exited the restaurant. When she made it outside, she headed towards the gun shop, where Ethan and Mike were.

"How nice." -Brenda

"Who is she?" -Slither

"She must be new." -Beatrice

"Another guard." -Brenda

"Yes. Let's give her a warmer welcome tomorrow." -Allen

"Heh heh heh heh!" -ALL

BANG BANG BANG

"Silence Over There!" -Allen

"They want out." -Brenda

"They're locked in." -Beatrice

"They can't break out." -Slither

"Poor fools." -Allen
