A.N. WHHYYYYY SNAILLLL WHYYYYYY okay, this chapter will now have to include a snail in it. Now to the chapter
I sighed 10:40. 20mins of being in this dark place, listening to the audio cues. I had dozed off once, and could only be glad that I was woken again, even though the sleep did me some good. Just to look, I shone my phone's light down on the floor, we barely had time to look when we came in. What I saw almost made me scream. A large snail was slowly creeping towards me. Right now in my mind, I would choose killer animatronics over snails almost any day. I burst open the door and sprinted away. I guess I had a phobia of slugs and snails. I ran up some stairs, barely looking where I was going before slipping inside Room 20. The didn't seem to be class in here, or maybe they got out because the classroom was way cleaner than the other rooms. I tried not to think about the snail, but it was stuck to my mind, forcing me to sit down. I was too flustered to notice the song steadily getting louder. However, when the Marionette smashed the door, I did notice. Actually, I would prefer the marionette over a snail. I knew the marionette, not so much a snail. Are they planning world domination, or are they peaceable creatures eating cabbage until they die? I grabbed a nearby chair and waited for it to get close to me. I jabbed it somewhere. I put the chair down to see it had punctured it's eye. I didn't know which was worse, a creepy endoskeleton or no endoskeleton. How did this thing move? Could it even be stopped? It begun to sing a song and it started to sound familiar...

I'm misunderstood,
You look a little frightened but I'm not that bad.
I think, you should,
Leave the box alone so I can get out for good.
And scream, really loud,
Make your heart skip, stop and don't you dare turn around.
Cause masks, won't trick me at all.
And now I'm out for revenge
Now that the music's gone dead.

"No strings?" I guessed. It was a FNAF song by groundbreaking.
"Why yes..." He said, swiping at me. I managed to duck, but being the clumsy person I was I fell backwards. He advanced. All because of a stupid snail. I immediately stood up, for a second imaging a snail near me. I ran out of the door and raced down the hall. I was good enough at sprinting and I made it to the end of the hallway and turned, racing down the hallway and jumped over the four stairs leading to the end of the corridor. I jumped as many stairs as I could and came outside. I heard pop goes the weasel, slowly growing louder. I forced myself to continue to jog towards the canteen. I had no idea where anyone was. I didn't know what to do. I doubted I could hide, yet I decided to try that method, just how far could I get? I saw golden Freddy, slumped over in the canteen. Not far, I thought. His body started to fade. I was still nervous about the snail, and golden Freddy's head began to zoom towards me. I ducked and it faded again, into nothingness, like it wasn't ever there. The song seemed to be getting further away. I carefully looked around and went around the side, taking the path we took to the library again. I was exhausted so I walked the length, before taking the door back into the careers' staff room. I silently made my way up the stairs to the Langauge and textiles rooms. I went into room 27. The familiar classroom was of small comfort because it was different. A pile of bodies had been dragged to the classroom's door to make more space for what had been written on the walls. My mind raced back to the snail and I immediately stood straight. When will I get over that fear? I read the writing, presumably blood unless someone had hopped down to art and borrowed all the red paint. It read something familiar.

You can break down my lights and my doors,
But I won't let you back in no more, no more,
I'm sick of getting stuck in the same routine again.

Five nights, it shouldn't seem so long,
But it takes forever when you go all about it wrong.
These walls are lined with blood I can't have on my hands.
These walls they seem to call my name,
But I refuse to be another puppet in the game.

"What is up with all the song lyrics..." I said. Then I saw some broken handwriting at the bottom. I walked over to look at it better. Barely legible, it said -Jeremy. This was an all girls school, and the teacher was a female as I could see in the pile of bodies. What?! I thought. Purple guy or an animatronic must've killed him, or maybe he just killed himself. However, I couldn't see his body anywhere, even if it was Jeremy Filztergald, this wasn't any use to me. I moved to room 26. It was another language room, it seemed they had been studying France. Sadly the IWB was open to snails and I immediately left the room, shivering. I moved to room 25. To calm myself down I read the French greetings, (bonjour) and sat down at a desk. No footsteps sounded as I sat and checked the time. 10:58. Huh. I closed the door and waited for it to change to 11:00pm. But then, as it did, I got a text from an unknown number.
It read:
Well, I've prepared a little surprise to you guys. How about we set all the animatronics to 20 for the last hour! ;)
Love, Purple guy.

He was making it sound like a pleasant thing. 1 hour of A.I. set to 20. Wonderful, exactly what I wanted. I sighed, unsure of what would result of this. Living seemed almost impossible. How many animatronics were gone... Mangle, Foxy FNAF1, all Freddy's except for golden Freddy, phantom Freddy and shadow Freddy. Toy chica was done off by purple guy, toy Bonnie, old chica. I counted 8. Well, we had some hope. I looked at the fire evacuation plan. Going outside of this classroom was dangerous, but staying here might be worse. I quickly piled tables against the door and planned my route if something did indeed happen. I sat down on the floor and leaned against the wall under the windows, thinking about my current situation. No one, and I mean NO ONE has ever survived any mode with A.I. set to 20 without planning, so I guess that's what I had to do. Right, stay here, something bad will happen, fight it for 5 seconds or at least until you could escape or it dies, escape, move on, find another hiding place, repeat. I was lost. In theory, it would work. But obviously it wouldn't. It would go wrong, an error would occur. Everything would go downhill and then purple guy will w-
No. Purple guy will not win. I remembered a funny quote I remembered from Wattpad.
'Its not important to win, it's important to make the other guy lose.' and that's what we would have to do. Things would spiral downhill, but it's only an hour, one hour. I checked the time. 11:09pm. 51mins. Time was ticking, and this time for the better.
I was bored, footsteps were passing constantly I kept quiet, never making a sound, just listening. I refused to nap because I sometimes talked in my sleep. I sometimes played games on my phone once checking the sound was completely off. I didn't do it often because I needed to pay attention. I just waited. Time passed. Nothing happened. But then I heard knocking. I didn't make a sound. Who could it be?
