The Boy and his Robot Protector -Book 1-(FNAF: Security Breach)

Hide and Seek

  The sound of sheets being ruffled went noticed by nobody, as Gregory tossed and turned in his sleep again. He'd hadn't had a nightmare in a couple nights thanks to Freddy, but of course, there were no guarantees he'd never have a nightmare again. And that was what had woken the boy up that night. He bolted upright, thankfully not in a cold sweat this time, and clutched his blankets tightly. Gregory's gaze was glued to his lap, expecting some form of immediate comfort from the bear upon waking up. But, the comfort didn't come.

Blinking the tears away, Gregory glanced about the dark interior of the van. He saw nobody. Hoping his eyes were just playing tricks on him, the boy grabbed his flashlight and turned it on. Freddy was nowhere to be seen. Gregory's breath hitched, as he quickly looked to his Fazwatch. He pressed the button that called Freddy, thinking maybe he'd just gone outside for a second to check... something? Gregory had no guesses. A minute passed, still no Freddy running back to the van.

The boy began to worry now. He had one more thing to try before letting himself get frantic. Pressing a button on the Fazwatch, Gregory held his wrist up in front of his mouth. "... F-Freddy?" There was a static for a second or two, before a few words could be made out from the interferance. "...Su.... ay... in th.... ve!... Ro.... st.... t....!"

"Freddy?" Gregory called again. "Freddy, where'd you go?!" The static worsened, blocking out any potential answer. Suddenly, it fell silent, and a small tone sounded from the watch. "Argh, no!" The battery had gotten very low, leaving Gregory no longer able to call upon Freddy. "Not now! Why?" Gregory took the watch off and put it down, before then making a reach for his jacket. He had to go find Freddy, what if something happens? Putting his shoes on, the boy grabbed his flashlight and left the van.

Freddy treaded quietly—as quietly as a six foot, metal robot could—making his way back to the van. It seemed as though he'd successfully gotten Roxy and the employee off his trail. Hopefully, this would last long enough to move the van further out of town for the rest of the night. No doubt they'd come back and check it's original spot after a while.

Coming up to the vehicle, the bear quietly entered. He then looked to the back to see if Gregory was still awake, but stopped short when he saw the boy's bed to be empty. "Gregory?" He looked around the interior of the vehicle, looking to see if he'd fallen asleep in one of the seats. He hadn't. A look of worry came over the bear. He instead tried to call Gregory on his watch, maybe now he was more in range. "Superstar? Can you read me?"

"... ad me?" Freddy blinked. Did he just hear... his own voice? Looking over, he noticed Gregory's Fazwatch on his bed. The bear grabbed it, and looked it over. Low battery. That must've also attributed to the poor connection. Sighing, Freddy put it back down. Considering the fact that Gregory was nowhere to be seen in the van meant he hadn't heard Freddy's instructions to stay put.

Getting back out of the van, Freddy closed up the doors. Looks like he now had to go find Gregory before anything happens to him. With that, the bear left again.

"... yeah, okay." Kicking at a pebble on the ground, Drew stood in place listening to Vanessa over the phone. "Yep, I will do that... alright, bye." As he hung up, the man saw that Roxanne's attention had been grabbed by something. "What?" He asked, tapping the animatronic on the shoulder. "I... I see someone!"

"Who?" Drew wondered. "That kid!" The man gave her a puzzled look. "The one who was with Freddy! I see him!" Drew's eyes widened a little, as he suddenly followed Roxy's gaze. "Where?!" She was quick to point Gregory out. "I saw him go that way, between the buildings!" She answered. "You did?"
"Yes! Can I go find him?" Roxy asked, glancing to the employee. Drew scratched his chin. "Look, I don't think Officer Vanessa wants us running off after children, Roxy." The wolf let out a huff. "But, he's with Freddy! We follow the kid, and we find Freddy!" Drew sighed. Pinching the bridge of his nose, he then explained, "Roxy, it's late. You need to be back in the trailer, and I want to go home, so can we just-"
