Why? Because I need to prove to myself that he was alive somehow. How? I have no idea. I just stared out the car window as Joel pulled up at the Pizzaria. "You sure about this?" He made a quick move for my hand but I pulled away. He wasn't my boyfriend and it wasn't a good time. The tears were fighting their way but I barricaded myself. Crying won't help anything, it only makes me look weak.
I pushed open the rusty old doors and breathed in the hot pizza smell. Damn, how I used to love it. Walking in with my mum and seeing the pizza being carried away to the children who were just as hungry as I was. The last time with him. "Are you thinking about.." I stopped him and decided to say the name. "Mike." I nodded in approval.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our first night on the job and we were already 30 minutes late. "Come on guys!" I was panicking as Joel struggled to open the front door. Finally , after 5 minutes, he opens the door and we enter the building. The first thing we hear is metal clanging. "What was that?!?" I covered Courtney's mouth as the metal clanging came closer.
We all sank into the shadows as a dark figure aproached. The small flickering light showed a brown bear looking around, only a few feet away. "Freddy..." The beast turned to us with a menacing smile I used to love. "Courtney... Joel... RUN!" We all raced to our feet and headed down a long hallway. A small office was clear in view. I entered first, followed by Courtney and Joel closing the doors. Freddy bangs into the door with a small chuckle. "Ha! We live another day!" We hear a man on the phone as he says his goodbyes and exits the call. I gasp and look at the answering machine.
"No! He could've said something helpful." I look around for anything that could've helped. A large tablet lay on a small desk and I hesitantly reached out to grab it. "What do you have there?" Joel looked over my shoulder as I felt the sides. It was cold and hard, as if it hadn't been used in a long time. "I could've sworn they said the security guard quit yesterday night. Wouldn't it still be a bit warm?"
I quickly turn it on. A loud static noise starts as I stare into the deep lifeless eyes of a fat, purple bunny. "Look it's Bonnie!" Joel smiled as he watched Bonnie closely. I looked all over the screen and found a small map on the side. I pressed one of the small rectangles and another video camera popped up. "This is a security camera." I gasped and turned to them, frightened and a bit confused. "Which means all of them are coming..." They panicked as Joel ran around and Courtney his under the desk. I calmly continued switching through the cameras. Joel blabbered on how we were going to die. "Joel shut up... I can't find Chica." He continued talking. I was too frustrated for this. I turned around angrily. "JOEL I SAI-" A loud metal screech interrupted me and swept it's yellow hard hand at Joel. He fortunately dodged but not for long. "WHAT THE HELL?!?" Joel screamed in fright as it grabbed him and harshly dragged him across the floor and out. I got a close look as it started to leave and found out it was Chica! "We have to help him Courtney!" I grabbed a metal piece of Chica that had fallen. "What?! Did you not see what it had just done to him!? Their cold oiled murderers! You can't possibly think you can hold them off with that... Thing!" I looked at her with tears in my eyes. I felt weak. Hopeless. Just like when Mike died. "I'm not losing him too." My voice cracked with a plead and a hint of desperation. I ran out clutching the metal so hard it started to cut into my skin. I looked everywhere but his screams seemed to be coming from every direction. I crumpled to my knees and cried harder. I could hear the tear drops faintly as I screamed my lungs out. I can't lose him. His screams stopped..... "JOEL!!" I was now in a ball on the floor, the metal piece... I don't know where it is. "Do not worry child... I can help" A sinister laugh scared me. I looked the my watery eyes, feeling hopeless and paralyzed. It was a human body but there was something different about it. It was..... Purple. The memories flooded back and the sinister laugh finished it off. With a small whisper he knocked me out. "Purple man...."
I am so sorry for the extra long wait. I hope you like the chapter. Kind of got too concentrated and made it sad. But wait a minute.... Joel's dead, our main character is probably dead, and Courtney is hiding in a corner like a coward. What do YOU think will happen? Write it in the comments. I'd love to hear what you guys think! <3
