Glitched Memories [FNAF AU | Story 1]

~+[ Chapter 29 | Nearly Caught, A Familiar Face ]+~

'Shit!-' Elizabeth thought to herself as she just hoped and wished William didn't hear the two as he just walked past the table and only slightly fixed the corkboard on the wall.

Elizabeth quietly sighed in relief as she then noticed the light from William's flashlight slowly pointing to where Sam was hiding as Sam was just hugging their knees to their chest as they sat under the table just curled up almost into a ball.

Sam tried their best not to hyperventilate since hated hiding in small hiding spots as he honestly wanted to just quickly bolt out of the room, but he knew he couldn't.

"Could've sworn I saw and heard something..." William quietly said to himself as he then just shrugged and exited the room. "You good Sam?" Evan whispered as Sam just gave a small thumbs up from under the table as his arm stuck out from under the white tablecloth that covered the table he was hiding under.

"Having a mild panic attack but I'm good" said Sam quietly as he got out from under the table and looked to the door.

The door would have been left wide open as Elizabeth got out from under the table her, and her twin were under as she looked around and then looked at Sam. "What now?" She asked.

"Hell if I know, I didn't think we'd get this far" said Sam as he peeked out of the room and saw William walking down the hall towards the security office. Sam looked over at the dining hall and looked specifically at the hall that led towards the arcade room where a thing of glowing purple eyes was seen looking at him as he quickly backed away accidentally falling.

"What? What is it?" Elizabeth asked as Sam just pointed to the hallway that led towards the arcade room as the eyes had vanished. "I think that damn dust is makin' me see things-" said he.

"Well if you saw something then somethings down there-" said she as the girl left the room as Evan followed behind her. "I-" Sam just quickly tried to get up as he slightly tripped as he followed the two towards the arcade room.

As the three walked down the hall, they felt as though they were being watched as Sam just looked slightly paranoid as he looked around. Evan mostly just seemed on edge while Elizabeth was surprisingly calm.

"So what exactly did you see?" Elizabeth quietly asked. "Just a thing of glowing purple eyes...And I already saw your guy's dad walk away to the security office so I don't know who could have walked away down that hall" said Sam as Elizabeth just sighed.

"Either my brother Michael is here or a certain bitchy ringleader animatronic somehow escaped the underground warehouse is here" said Elizabeth. "You mean that creepy ringleader animatronic your brother and dad found, Lexi?" said Sam as Elizabeth nodded.

"If he is here then I'm saying straight to his face that he's a bitch" said she. "Man, that's quite rude of you Elizabeth..." said a familiar voice. "And where the hell have you been hiding?-" Elizabeth asked as Lexi walked out of the shadows.

"Oh just in the shadows...watching all of you and just watching everything that's been going down.." Said he as Lexi looked at Elizabeth and Evan then at Sam. Lexi's eyes slightly widened as they looked at Sam for a small moment before just blinking and looking away.

"Apologies...Thought...You were someone else..." Said Lexi to Sam who just tilted his head to the side just confused.

"Who...Did you think I was, or I guess looked like?" Sam asked. "..Just an old...Creator of mine..." said he as this was a side neither Evan nor Elizabeth nor anyone for that matter had seen of Lexi as he never seemed sad or at least looked as though he could be sad.

"Oh" Sam replied while still confused. "Anyways- The fuck are doing here or at least doing wandering around up here" she asked. "Nothing much, just bored and wondering what that stupid dumb blonde-No offense uhh? What's yer name again?" Lexi asked Sam.

"Sam- also, none taken Lex, Wait- CAN I CALL YOU LEX?!" said Sam almost forgetting to lower his voice since forgot they needed to stay quiet, so William didn't know Sam, Elizabeth, and Evan were in the building. Sam also smiled a small bit while was slightly bouncing up and down by sort of balancing on his toes to make himself slightly bounce up and down, making his heels barely touch the floor.

Elizabeth just lightly bopped Sam on the head. "Lower your damn voice idiot!" said she. "Sorry-" Sam replied as Lexi just paused and looked at them as he just continued while responding to Sam's dumb question. "..No- anywho- like I was saying...I was wondering what that dumb blonde is doing here and why he was the only one scheduled to do all the nightshifts'" said Lexi.

Sam stopped bouncing up and down as he sadly looked down just a little bit sad he couldn't call Lexi 'Lex' for short, even though Lexi's name was already short since it was only four letters.

"Oh, honestly, we're here for the same reason...Mostly because Sam kind of dragged me and Evan into this and wanted us to sneak into here at night-" said Elizabeth.

"Hm, Interesting, well if you want, you're able to follow me since I've just been sitting in the arcade room pretending to be one of you two around here anytime It's the dayshift...Or I've been in the vent's just watching and listening to you all and all I can say is, it's boring and cramped up there- 3/10 Do not suggest" said Lexi as he crossed his arms as Sam just slightly giggled at that since had the sense of humor of a 3-year-old.

Lexi then just walked away while taking off their red top as their brown faded to blonde hair looked pretty messy. "Damn for a humanoid Animatronic you don't even keep your hair nice and clean or even brushed" said Elizabeth.

"Shut up- I haven't been able to find my technician for the past couple of days so he hasn't been able to keep me clean of dust or looking as though I haven't been rotting in that stupid old building in the woods for 40 years from what Terence told me-" said Lexi. "Well, that sounds like a you problem, also can't you just do that yourself? You're basically the equivalent of an actual person or I guess most movie stereotypes of robots with super advanced true self-aware AI...Just minus the whole wanting to take over the world or kill off all of humanity part-" said Elizabeth.

"Sadly, I can't since first of all, it's not in my system and second of all I always get shut off anytime I have to be repaired or cleaned since it's so my Powercore isn't affected and so I don't shut down from a tiny drop of water or just something that could affect it" said Lexi.

"Oh" Elizabeth replied as she looked at Lexi and then at his red coat and top hat which looked more grey and faded than its beautiful bright red and dark red colors as even the gold on the coat looked as though it was faded almost, mostly because he was covered in the dust and some cobwebs that could be seen just stuck to the coat and top hat.

The girl almost felt sorry for Lexi but mostly didn't since well, the bastard basically almost killed her, Evan, William, and Michael because of those three mechanical wolves he just let go after them and also posed and faked as Michael and Daniel so she just shook her head and mostly just looked at the floor while messing with her sleeves as they walked towards the arcade room.

"Hey Lexi, If ya want I can just temporarily fix ya up till whoever your technician is, comes back!" said Sam as he quickly walked over to Lexi and was now walking beside the tall ringleader animatronic. "I- You sure?.." Lexi replied.

"Very, Besides I already have to help Host and Bluezy keep the animatronics around here on their stages maintained and cleaned so it's not like I care if one more animatronic needs to be kept the same way" said Sam. "I...That's...Very kind of you, thank you" said Lexi as they smiled a small bit. "Eh, It ain't no problem!" Sam replied as he grabbed Lexi's top hat from him and looked at it while slightly brushing off some of the dust and cobwebs with his hands.

Once they made it to the arcade room Lexi would just walk away over to the third breakroom they had in this place as Lexi just opened the door to the room and just left the door open as he stood near a nearby counter and shut down as he honestly needed to rest or at least let his Powercore recharge as it was at a low level.

Sam just took off Lexi's red coat and looked at the dust on it as he placed the top hat and coat onto a couch in the breakroom. "So you're actually willing to keep that bitch maintained and cleaned?" said Elizabeth.
