Metal Souls

Red Lining

Your POV

I was standing to the side of the stage arms crossed and back against the wall. I was doing my best not to fall asleep since trying to fight for your life in a dream isn't a calming way to rest. I checked the time as I noticed closing time started to approach. I stood up and got on stage as Freddy and Chica cut the music.

Me: Alright everyone you know the rules. The show is over.

Customer: Come on man seriously?

Customer 2: Why is he still here?

Customer 3: What a buzz kill.

Me: Just doing my job... Does anyone get a problem with that?

They all groaned in annoyance as the place started to clear out. Making sure everyone left and getting a couple of flip-offs along the way. I locked up as I sighed and put my head against the glass door. I went back to the stage as the girls took a where they stood.

Me: Any problems.

Chica: Nope. It was a pretty calm night.

Freddy: How's Foxy?

Me: She's better, but she needs a major upgrade. She was so worn out and I'm surprised she could've moved at all with all that rust on her legs. Bonnie told me she storms the office right?

Chica: Yep. That's why we haven't been able to talk to her. She gets the job done and shuts herself off. Quick, fast, and she's a furry.

Freddy: Seriously?

Me: Well I'm going to go to the office. I'll take care of Mangle tomorrow. If she lets me.

I said looking at the Funtime Cove putting a hand in my pocket. I then looked to the side of it... A door.

Me: Was that always there?

Freddy: What?

Me: That door.

They both sat up looking where I pointed. Before they stepped off stage.

Chica: No. It wasn't.

I walked over to it as the girls followed a bit behind me.

Freddy: I don't think we should go in there.

Me: Well we got to know what's inside. The last thing we need is surprises.

I passed the cove and opened the door seeing an empty hall. But with frames. I looked at my left seeing 5 frames perfectly aligned. Two were filled. With the pictures of Bonnie and Chica from my dreams. I stood there looking at it. Why are they here? How is this possible?

Chica: Is there anything in there?

I snapped out of it as I stepped out and closed the door behind me. I shook my head as I did.

Me: Just a weird mysterious room.

Freddy: Nothing? I don't get it. This wasn't here at all before.

Chica: Maybe our scanners were messed up?

Freddy: We've been here for years we would've still noticed.

Me: Well it's empty in there. Who knows. Might use it for extra storage in case we get anything.

They stared at me for a second as if they knew I was slightly bending the truth. They simply shrugged as I felt a bit of relief. I don't wanna tell them about the dream. There's too much happening already as it is.

Freddy: Let's get this place cleaned up.

We went to work picking up trash and cleaning up food in the establishment. Even picking up a couple... Adult products. I groaned picking up a certain rubbery "you know what."
