Evan's Pov:

As I finish checking the closet I hear running coming from the hallway. I rush to the door and just as I am about to put my hand on the handle, the door flies open. I close my eyes, tears running down my face as I wait for the end. But it doesn't happen. Opening my eyes, I see Michael holding the door shut, with the look of pure terror on his face. He's here? Did he come… to help me?

"Evan! Thank god… I'm sorry if I scared you when I came in. I just had to be sure that you were ok!"

"You came…. Thank you, Mikey."

"I promised, from now on I am going to take care of you. Now what can I do to help?" I rush over to my bed stand, as I do I shine the light on the two Freddles on my bed. Once they are gone, I grab another flashlight in the drawer. The Davis's put it there in case the first one's batteries died. It was supposed to be unused in case the power was out, but they would never have thought it would be for this….

I hand the flashlight to Michael. Taking it, he opens the door slightly to check the hallway for any Nightmares. As he shines the light Nightmare Bonnie ducks his head behind the hallway wall.

"We have to survive until 6. They can come from the hallway, the closet, and even the bed."

"Ok, don't worry we'll make it. Go hide somewhere safe. I'll make sure they don't hurt you."

"No! I know how they work. I can help." Running over to the closet, Nightmare Foxy is now crouching. Quickly I shut the closet door for a few seconds returning him to his first phase. Looking over at Michael, I can see his face filled with worry and objection.

"But I'm your big brother, it's my job to keep you safe."

"I know, but you need me. I know their patterns." Before Michael can object farther, he hears breathing coming from the door. Closing it he sighs and looks at me. He knows that I will not just hide. Just like all the other times I had nightmares, we need to just hold out until 6. They're not getting into this room!

As an hour goes by, I notice that even though they should be at night 1 difficulty, they are more aggressive. It's only Monday night, and Nightmare Foxy doesn't come until the second night. How are they doing this?

The time ticks by slowly, I look at the clock and notice that it is only 3 am. Even though there is only one door to manage, it's still just as difficult. Now they are just focusing all their might onto it, and with us having to manage Foxy and the Freddles, it makes it a painstaking task. As I go to the closet door, I see Nightmare Foxy is at his last stage. I close the door just as he takes a leap at me. Michael rushes over to me worried, as he helps me hold the closet door shut.

Check the bed!

My eyes widen as I turn around and see three Freddles on the bed. Shining my light on them, they go away. Thanks, Fredbear, that was close.

There is something wrong with this. They're stronger than normal, be safe my friend.


Leo's POV:

As I wake up, I look at the time and see it's 5:40 am. That's weird. I usually don't wake up until 7. I guess my internal clock is broken, because of the stress from Michael showing up. Just as I am about to lay back down in bed, I hear the faint sound of a door closing out in the hallway. What the hell, who could be up this early? Wait….. Ohhh no… Instantly I get out of bed and open the door to the hallway.

I remember back to the first few weeks when Evan arrived. At night he was scared that his nightmares would get him, so he would check around his room and the hallway. But after a while we were able to reassure him that he was safe here. At least I thought. Could Michael, being here, have brought back that routine? Evan was just getting better, to have Michael come here and ruin it…. I'll have a few choice words with him later if that's the case.

As I walk across the hallway I stop as I could swear, I saw something move out of the corner of my eye. I'm still waking up. It's probably nothing, but just in case I should probably check it out as soon as I make sure Evan's ok. As I get closer to the door, it peaks open as a flashlight shines on me. I hear an audible gasp, as the door opens all the way, and I see Evan flashlight in hand ushering me in.

"Evan, what's wrong?"

"Please get in, hurry! They're out there!" As I step into the room, I see Michael standing near the closet. He shines a flashlight into the closet as if he is checking for something. After being satisfied with what he saw, he steps away from the door, as he notices I'm here.

That son of a bitch! Is he playing along with Evan's fears! If this is another sick joke to make Evan too scared to even sleep, he'll regret he ever found us. My hand goes into a fist as I storm towards him. Michael puts his hand up in front of him, trying to calm me down. But I am having none of it!

"Leo? You must have heard us from across the hall, didn't you! Look there is no easy way to explain this, but you have to listen. Evan's nightmares are real, and they are outside this room. Now that you are here, they're going to come for you too. We need to-"

"Stop the bullshit! I know what you are doing! And it's sick, I can't believe you would play into his fear's again, as if he didn't go through too much already. When mom and dad wake up, I'm going to make sure they throw your lousy-" Before I could finish, I hear something coming from behind us. That sound what-

My eyes widen as I look over to the bed in horror. There's no way….. This must be some sort of sick joke, there is no way there are three versions of Freddy plushie that looks like they came out of someone's nightmares on the bed. Michael has to be doing this, to play into Evan's fear of the Fnaf characters. But….. Why are they so real? They can't be, there is no logical way.

As I stand there frozen, Evan shines the light onto them and they…. disappear and turn back into a normal Freddy plushie? I feel like I am about to faint as I watch Michael shine the light into the hallway. My blood runs cold as I fight back a scream, as I stare at what is standing by the stairs. It looks similar to Chica from Fnaf 1, but as if it was made solely to drive terror. Michael closes the door swiftly and holds it shut.

Even through my fear, I feel the drive of my instincts to protect my little brother. I can't let those things in! I scan the room for any other flashlight, but there is no such luck. I curse myself as I remember my phone, on the nightstand of my bed. The flashlight on it would be invaluable plus I could call 911, but with those things out in the hall that's not an option. So instead, I decide to look out into the hallway to see if there is anything there. It's harder to see without a flashlight, but I can make out something moving closer to the door. I quickly hold it shut as I turn to look at Michael and Evan.

"What the hell! What are those things!"

"It's a long story but what you need to know is that they are not from here. Like- us…. Once it's 6 am, they'll stop. Until then we can't let them get in here!" So, this is just like Five Nights at Freddy's? This feels so unreal, yet I know I am not dreaming. And what did Michael mean by him and Evan not being from here? I don't know what town or state Evan lived in before here, but it had to be close for him to show up in the park. I'll have to ask later, keeping those things out is all that matters right now.

"Watch the closet. Nightmare Foxy is in there, if he starts to stand up close the door!" My body feels like it's on autopilot as I go over to the closet door. Sure enough, looking inside it, I see the faint outline of the animatronic. The way it's looking at me, it is as if it is ready to devore me whole. The closet appears unnaturally dark, my eyes should be adjusting but without a flashlight I can barely make out anything in there.

Time goes by torturously slow. After what feels like forever the alarm clock at the side of the bed goes off. As I look back inside the closet, Foxy is gone as if he was never there in the first place. If I didn't see all this firsthand, I wouldn't have believed it but know…. How long were these monsters doing this?! I know they wouldn't have been doing this when we first brought Evan into the house. If they were, they would have gotten into the room, as soon as Evan stopped watching for them. And if that was the case… I can't think like that, I need to find out what this is all about. And I am sure as hell going to get answers.

"What the hell just happened? What did you bring here!" As I look at Michael he seems to be just as lost for answers as I am. But he has to know. It can't be a coincidence that as soon as he showed up, these things came! Sighing, Michael starts to talk.

"I don't know much about them. To even get into it would take a lot of explaining. If I didn't live through the last 40 years of my life, I would have found it impossible to believe what I am about to tell you." What game is he playing? There's no way he is over 15, not to mention the fact he has an 8-year-old brother. Those thing's try to kill us and the first thing he does is start off with that!

"I know how it sounds but, it's true. We are not from here, and while I'm 56 years old I'm back in my 15-year-old body again. Five Nights at Freddy's as you call it here, where….. from its universe. Everything that happened in the game really happened where we are from."

"That can't be true! It's just a video game! I don't know why those things were here, but there is no way-"

You weren't supposed to find out. The past was supposed to be left behind, but there is no avoiding it now.

My blood runs cold as the three of us turn to look at where the voice came from. But all that's there is Evan's Fredbear Plushie.

They are too powerful for even me. We don't have much time.
