Five Nights At Freddy's 2

Chapter 4 - Night 2

(AN: Hi guys! Sorry I haven't updated in forever, I just haven't been in the right frame of mind to write. I'm going to try and update as often as possible now, because as most of you probably know Five Nights At Freddy's 3 is out. As soon as I finish this, FNAF 3 comes out on iOS and when I feel like I've played it enough I will begin writing the third book. Thanks everyone for being patient! :))

I arrived at the restaurant the next night feeling relatively confident. Nothing had happened last night, so tonight should be a breeze, right? I walked through the dark, empty rooms to the security office to find the manager in there waiting for me.

"Hi Jeremy! You ready for your second shift?" the manager said cheerily. I just nodded. I didn't particularly want to talk to him. "Uh, well, ok. Have a good shift." the manager said awkwardly, and quickly stumbled out, leaving me alone in the dark office to wait for 12am.

When the clock chimed 12 I wasn't worried at all. I didn't bother to look at the security cameras. I pulled out a magazine I had brought with me and began flicking through it. A few minutes later the phone rang like last night. I clicked the answer button, only half concentrating, and the same guy from last night began to speak.

"Ah...hello, hello! Uh, see, I told you your first night wouldn't be a problem. You're a natural!" Well nothing really happened last night, I thought, still flicking through my magazine. "Uh, by now I'm sure you've noticed the older models sitting in the back room. Uh, those are from the previous location. We just use them for parts now. The idea at first was to repair them...uh, they even started retrofitting them with some of the newer technology, but they were just so ugly, you know? The smell...uh, so the company decided to go in a whole new direction and make them super kid-friendly. Uh, those older ones shouldn't be able to walk around, but if they do, the whole Freddy head trick shoud work on them too, so, whatever." Great. Very reassuring. I continued to read my magazine.

"Uh...heh...I love those old characters. Did you ever see Foxy the pirate? Oh wait, hold on...oh yeah, Foxy." Why was this guy so distracted? I slowly began losing interest in my magazine and concentrating on the phone call more. "Uh, hey listen, that one was always a bit twitchy, uh...I'm not sure the Freddy head trick will work on Foxy, uh. If for some reason he activates during the night and you see him standing at the far end of the hall, just flash your light at him from time to time. Those older models would always get disoriented with bright lights. It would cause a system restart, or something. Uh, come to think of it, you might want to try that on any room where something undesirable might be. It might hold them in place for a few seconds. That glitch might be in some of the newer models too." The word 'glitch' made me feel very uneasy. I was now fully concentrated on the phone call.

"One more thing - don't forget the music box. I'll be honest, I never liked that puppet thing. It was always...thinking, and it can go anywhere...I don't think a Freddy mask will fool it, so just don't forget the music box." I panicked a little as I realised I hadn't been watching anything, let alone this music box that the phone guy seemed to be so scared of. I flicked to the camera and wound up the music box as the phone guy finished.

"Anyway, I'm sure it won't be a problem. Uh, have a good night, and talk to you tomorrow." The phone line clicked dead, and the room went silent.

The next few hours mostly consisted of getting scared at slight noises, and keeping a very good eye on the music box. I didn't want to find out what this puppet thing did. I hardly looked at the clock, too scared to take my eyes off the cameras after what phone guy had said. When I did eventually convince myself it was ok to look away for a few seconds, it was 4am. I felt a slight glimmer of hope as I realised I only had 2 hours left, but that soon faded when I heard the banging sound coming from the right vent.

I quickly clicked on the the right vent camera and turned on the light. I almost dropped the monitor in horror as I saw the blue bunny staring at the camera menacingly. Bonnie, was it? I panicked and began flicking the light on and off in hopes it would scare it away, but to no avail. I decided to leave it be and hope it wouldn't crawl out into the office.

I spent the next hour and a half keeping a very close eye on the other animatronics, and trying to forget the fact that the blue bunny was just meters away from me in the vent. I kept checking on it, but it didn't move at all. It just continued to stare unblinkingly at the camera. I stared at it for a few minutes before I heard the child's voice.

It was creepy. It came out of nowhere. Silence, and then a "Hello" echoed around the building. I frantically flicked through all the cameras to find the balloon boy getting into the left vent. Now I had to check them both.

25 minutes passed. I had 5 minutes to go. I stopped bothering with the other animatronics and just concentrated on the blue bunny and balloon boy as the minutes ticked down. 4. 3. 2. I flicked to the right vent hopefully for the last time, but found the bunny gone.

I quickly dropped the monitor and flicked the right vent light on. A crazy blue face was staring at me. I shrieked and fumbled around for the Freddy head, never taking my eyes off his face. When I eventually found it I shoved it on my head. I could hear my heavy breathing and racing heart as the blue face looked through the eye holes, then left. I didn't take the head off until the clock chimed 6, but even when it did I was still nervous about taking it off.

I sat shaking in my chair as I waited for the manager to come and let me leave, wondering if I had just escaped death, and wondering what tomorrow would bring.
