Soft Blue Eyes

5: The Stage Basement

You felt something pushing against your neck, it felt like something made of metal. You quickly shot up, looking up at the figure above you. A torn apart looking figure stood just above your chest, it appeared it was Foxy, but this one was different.

His hook grazed against your neck, and proceeded to scratch into it. He dragged the metallic feature slowly as you screamed in pain. You called out for Freddy, which seemed to anger him.

He dug deeper, the metal piercing through your skin, but suddenly, you couldn't make any noise. You were silent, but suffering. You tried to make noise, you tried to get someone's attention, someone to help you. But alas, it was pointless. No one could hear you, your screams were never heard as your neck gushed out the red substance.

Tears flooded your face, you started to choke on them. As your vision began to turn black, screams were heard. You opened your eyes again, looking around. The smell of smoke filled your nostrils as you inspected the tile floor. You were in Freddy's Pizzeria.

You found yourself to be in the kitchen, and you ran to the main stage, looking for Freddy and the others. There Freddy stood, panicking. He watched as his friends included in the flames, their bodies turning to dust. He screamed, begging for this to end.

His eyes noticed you, and he ran over to you. You embraced each other, not saying a word. The heat and the putrid smell of smoke started to rise as you held each other close.

There was no escape, the flames had circled you both. Tears fell from yours and Freddy's eyes as you looked at each other. He held your hands in his, and he pulled you in for a sudden kiss. Your lips locked together for the remaining time you had left.

"I love you." Freddy said, his voice shaking.
"I love you too, Freddy." You exclaimed.

The burning sensation started to fill your entire body, and everything went dark.

You shot up as fast as you could, your breathing getting heavy and shaky. It appeared you were in a dark room, and you couldn't make out anything else that was around you. You could hear faint music coming from outside of the room, children screaming and laughing.

Grabbing your phone from your pocket, you shined the flash looking around the room. It appeared to be a basement of some sort. The walls looked unfinished, and the smell of mildew filled your nose. You looked for a light switch, and you finally found it. It was placed right next to a door, and you ran up to it.

With the flick of the switch, the lights in the room came on. You looked over at what you woke up on. It seemed to have been some sort of couch. Where were you? The last thing you remembered was being in the main dining area with Freddy.

That's when it hit you, you were at the Pizzeria. Panic started to rush through you, what if you were caught there? What if you got fired? Why hadn't you gone home?

You rushed over to the door, which was on the ceiling, and you slowly pushed it open, but only a bit. You peeked out of it, and what you saw made you panic even more.

You were below the stage. Standing in front of you were Bonnie, Freddy, and Chica, performing for all of the children and adults watching them.

You quickly shut the door and ran back over to the couch. 'Oh my god.' You thought to yourself.

You frantically checked your phone, needing to know the time. 4pm. You had been out for 10 hours, wow. You were kind of glad you got some good rest, but that didn't help your situation.

You tried to figure out a plan, you needed to get out of the Pizzeria. Well, you didn't need to. There wasn't any harm in staying. However, you didn't want to risk getting in trouble for staying after your shift was over.
