Chapter Five

(Second POV)

Dammit, dammit, dammit!

A loose wire snagged your foot, and you stumbled again, but somehow you managed to regain your balance and keep rushing through the dark tunnels at the fastest pace you could muster on an injured leg. You had scrutinized the thing before, but the Fazwatch that Freddy gave you really was useful like he said it'd be. Without its map guiding you, you'd probably end up getting lost down here forever.

Bonnie Bowl was close now. Just a few more turns. You hoped you wouldn't be too late.

Your thoughts were racing at the same speed as your feet. Freddy had been radio silent since you'd left the kitchen. How was he even planning to give you any instructions on a dead battery?

Maybe he only said that to distract you to get you away and somewhere safe...?

He would definitely do that.

You were only one left turn away from Bonnie Bowl before you almost tripped over your feet coming to a halt so abrupt that your shoes had surely left skid marks on the floor.

How far were you from the maintenance room right now? Could you still make it before his memories were erased?

Heart pounding relentlessly in your chest, you looked to your watch to find the directions there, but before you could open the map, Freddy had finally sent another message.

You're close. Keep going. I promise everything will be okay. Please trust me.

You grit your teeth at the message, knowing this wasn't the time to waste feeling conflicted. You knew as well as Freddy certainly did that you would stand no chance against either of those animatronics alone, so whatever Freddy had planned was your only real option now. You just hoped beyond hope that it was an actual plan, and not a suicide mission for himself just to save your life.

Bitter tears stung your eyes in frustration at your own helplessness, Please don't be lying. Please don't be lying! Please give me something to help you!

With your thundering footsteps following you down the corridor, you finally rounded the last corner, pushing through a final pair of heavy double doors to find yourself standing in the middle of a large bowling alley. Your chest was heaving as you tried to catch your breath, tentatively stepping in further and scanning your surroundings. A quick survey found no sign of anyone or anything else in here but you, not even a lone staffbot. In your hurry, you'd completely forgotten about needing to worry about hiding from those things, so you were fortunate that none of them were here to catch you recklessly out in the open like this.

The bowling alley itself was huge, but well-maintained, and similar to the other attractions you'd seen with bright neon lights everywhere. However, this attraction had one key difference that caught your eye instantly. Next to the large concessions counter at the back wall, there was a small stage shrouded by tightly shut red curtains. It must have been for Bonnie, you'd supposed, and the realization nearly made you wince.

Unlike the others, Bonnie had always loved the spotlight and being able to perform on stage. He must have been pissed to get crammed into a small corner of the pizzaplex like that while Freddy and Chica were able to perform out on that huge stage without him. Not only that, but according to Freddy, even Foxy was getting his own movie or something, so that must have stung all the worse for Bonnie to watch everybody else get so much attention while he was delegated to this humble stage.

Another notification on the watch stole your previous train of thought.

There's a hidden room behind the last bowling lane at the far right of the alley. Pass under the curtain to get there. Hurry.
