Five Nights at Camp Half Blood

Chapter 2: The Strict Security Guard Lady - Oh, and We Almost Died

Gregory Pov

I crawled into Freddy's stomach hatch and all off we went, Freddy leading the way and Lucky, who is somehow covered in pure darkness (shadows maybe?) is tagging behind, hugging her stuffed cat.

"Hi!" Lucky said to the cleaning robot, who didn't even look up. Please don't tell me that this will become a routine.

"Hello, little boy! Are you down here?" The security lady shouted. "Oh no, she's down here! We have to go back." I urged, but Freddy calmed me down. "Do not worry Gregory, you are safe with me. She would never suspect we and Lucky are traveling together. However, we should still do our best to avoid her. If I am sent back to my room, we will never get to the Lobby before midnight. Also, be sure to stick to places where you can hide, Lucky."

And with that we continued. Until Freddy stopped. "I feel you are broken." Oh, he means the cut on my face. "Don't worry about it. I'm fine." This didn't have the intended affect, as Freddy said, "No, I feel that something is wrong. I am taking you to the first aid station."

Lucky's shadows had mostly moved away from her, showing her worried look on her face, before Freddy began walking, when they went back to hiding her. "There's no time! I'm fine!" I said, but my protests fell on deaf ears.

I begrudgingly began walking to the station, when Lucky lunged at me, shoving me in the station, before hiding in there herself. "What was that fo-" I started, only to stop when I heard footsteps.

A woman with blonde hair in a ponytail came into view, and Lucky nearly left the station, if it wasn't for me grabbing her, I pulled her close to me, holding one arm over her stomach, holding her in place, and my other hand clamped on her mouth, to keep her from talking. I guess her greeting every new person and thing IS going to become a routine, and an annoying one at that.

"Freddy! You're supposed to be on lockdown!" The woman said, angry. "O-Officer Vanessa, I do not know how I got here." "Well, you totally blew it tonight, you know. Your system crashed and you ruined the show. Now, Parts and Services have you on reduced power. They said it's a safety precaution. Just one more thing to deal with..." "I apologize."

"Ok... look,, we're 15 minutes from closing and some kid-" She started, but paused to check a device that beeped before continuing, "three kids, maybe even more are running around backstage. If you see anything, notify me immediately. I already alerted the others. Now, go back to your room." And after she FINALLY finished lecturing Freddy, she left.

"I told you she is after me!" I said in an 'I told you so' tone of voice, releasing Lucky and leaving the first aid station. "I said nothing. I will keep both of you safe. Let us go." Freddy said, and Lucky thanked him for keeping us safe as I crawled into Freddy's stomach hatch and we continued walking.

"Where are we?" I asked, and Freddy explained how we are under the Pizza Plex and how these utility tunnels connect to every attraction. "...They are all accessible by S.T.A.F.F. with a high enough clearance, of course. Guests are never allowed allowed down here." He finished, and Lucky raised her hand, the misty shadows leaving a slight onion skin of the motion as they fizzled away.

"Yes, Lucky?" Freddy asked politely. "What about us?" Lucky asked him, most likely hugging her stuffed animal. "Yours is a bit of a special situation." And we once again continued walking.

Freddy kicked me out, saying, "I am terribly sorry. The recharge cycle had not yet completed when I found you. The two of you must continue without me. I will guide you on Gregory's Fazwatch in case you two get into any trouble.

"I don't know if we can do this alone." I said, looking at Lucky who nodded in agreement, the shadows that had once surrounded her also receding.

Lucky and I walked through the double doors. After we went in the hallway, I looked at Lucky, and noticed tears welling in her eyes. She hugged her cat plush tighter and wiped the tears away. I went up to her and whispered, "It's okay to be scared, you know that, right?" She nodded, and we continued walking.

When we neared the bathroom door, the sound of servos made me realize an animatronic is in there. I turned to Lucky and put a finger over my mouth. She nodded to me and I slightly opened the door.

There, in the bathroom, was Chica, eating trash. I looked at the stacked paint cans and got an idea. I hit them and grabbed Lucky's hand, pulling her into the bathroom before Chica could see us.

As we were leaving the bathroom quietly, we crouched through the hallway and went through a door into a supply room. We continued walking and went into another hallway and continued through there. We walked into a red hallway, and heard footsteps behind us, so we turned, just in time to see Monty bust down the gate behind us.

I muttered a soft, "F***." And grabbed Lucky's hand, pulling her with me as I ran in the opposite direction. As we were running, Roxy said something, meaning she is here too, and THEN Chica knocked over some boxes, saying, "Lost kids there you are!"

So, naturally, we had to run up the stairs. A few more twisting hallways later and we ran into a security office place, with the door closing behind us. "You did it you two, you found a security office. You should be quite safe here. The doors were designed to keep our highly-trained security staff safe, in the event of an emergency. As long as the doors stay closed, which they will, as long as there is ample power..." Freddy said.

"I don't think the door has a lotta power." Lucky said, pointing to the battery that had a little over one section left. "Freddy! The power's only at 15% and they are pounding on the door! How are we going to get out?" I asked.

If worse comes to worse I could always... I dismissed that thought, looking at Lucky. She's the closest thing I have to a friend, which is super depressing considering the fact that we only met today... but if I did that, she'll hate me! She'll be just like everyone else who sees me do it. "Do not panic." Freddy's voice interrupted my panicking. "You should see an interface on the security desk. Hold on while I make it accessible to you... there. You can now activate security protocols." Freddy said, and the button on the desk turned green.

Panicking, I quickly pressed it. A beeping noise came from my Fazwatch, and Freddy explained, "Your Fazwatch is now connected to the security camera system. Check the map on your Fazwatch."

I followed his directions, trying not to focus on Lucky's examining every inch of the room and nervously tapping on things. I looked at the cameras, then went through the door, Lucky following.

In the (sort of, not really) safe hallway, we caught our breath. To my surprise, Lucky started laughing, although the also had tears running down her face and was shaking a bit. "What's so funny? We nearly died!" She smiled brightly and said, "Exactly! We DIDN'T die, and did you see how cool that was! We were like- like- super heroes! Like Black Widow, or Spiderman!"

Her enthusiasm, although not being 100% if her tears were a thing to go off of, was contagious, and I ended up smiling slightly, too. "Yeah, I guess you're right, but we are FAR from safe right now. We won't be until we get out of here." I explained, and she happily followed when I went into the hall Chica was patrolling, having deemed it safe(ish) enough to go.

We went through, with Lucky finding a Monty long sleeved sweatshirt and a Chica piñata in one of those boxes (she left the piñata and tied the shirt around her waist), and were making our way to the exit, when the announcer said, "Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizza Plex is now closed. Initiating nighttime protocols.

"Lucky and I began running and I shouted, "No. No! Wait, we're still here!" While Lucky, who was once again crying, shouted, "Please don't lock us in!"

"Now what are we supposed to do?" I asked, the question not really directed at wither Freddy or Lucky. "How unfortunate, you two. You missed your chance, but there is still hope. You should still be able to escape when the security doors reopen at 6:00 AM. Until then, keep moving and try not to draw attention to yourselves. If there is another way out, I will help you find it. I promise." Freddy said. Lucky sniffed quietly and once again wiped her tears, putting a brave smile on.

We continued walking, determined to find the exit.
