We sit there waiting for any animatronics to show up anywhere. It was Thursday, so I would say the 4th night. She told me that she doesn't work the night on weekends. She needs to sleep. "So is there still a marionette here? Or since I'm now him he disappeared?" I asked her.

"There isn't a marionette, but the music box needs winding still. It sounds alarms in my office which attracts more of the toys." She replied. She looked at the prize corner and wound up the music box. I liked the melody...I also like the remix. I then had an idea.

"Hey, I know a place where we could be safe. The music box traps the marionette in. And people out."

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying we bring the tablet and mask into the box and lock our selves in." I answered while thinking, genius!

She nodded almost saying "Great plan." And we went on our way, hoping to not bump into anyone. We got there with no problems. Getting in however, was tricky, Mangle was hanging over the box. We decided to wait until he moved. (A/N If you listen to the phone guy for once he said that the "engineers had to put him back together each day"). Once he was gone we let the box wind down and when the alarm went off, we heard more movement throughout the building. We got in and wound it up again. We were safe.

**********************************

The top of the screen read: 5:30 am. We waited and waited. Finally, we heard a chime. We didn't Look at the clock which read 5:40, and we opened the box. It wasn't the chime of the clock, it was a chime with a melody. The only way we could hear the music, is if an animatronic was playing. The only one with that song is Freddy...withered Freddy. When we stepped out and went to the hallway, That's where it was the loudest. We saw Freddy not in the office. But looking at us just outside the huge office door.

We stood frozen with fear. Erica then vanished out of my sight. Where did she go? When I looked back at Freddy's location...he was right in front of me. I quickly turned and ran. Not looking behind me I went to the main room. There I heard a whisper, "Over here." It was Erica.

We were crouching behind a party table and we heard some laughing. Balloon Boy. "I thought he is only in the game room/vents/and the office if you don't stop him from getting in." I said while peeking over the table to see our surroundings. "He does but that is only what the cameras see. He does move around the facility." She replied.

Later we heard a chime. But this was coming from the tablet. 6 am. The animatronics should be going back to their places.

When we saw the toys return to the stage. They then turned their eyes on me and stared almost if they wanted me to come back. Maybe there was another marionette. When I was turned into him maybe he disappeared. Or... maybe... I am him.
