Five Nights at Mob's

Episode 1: The First Night.

Money. Money is a very crucial thing to possess. Money can be used to purchase all sorts of things such as food, clothes, appliances and much more. Money was the one thing that Carlton did not have. He blankly stared at the eviction notice on his apartment door. Honestly I'm sure he felt like crying, he knew that he could not keep up with the rent these days. He unlocked his apartment door and went inside.

He surfed the web for jobs. Any job other than Minecraft's Mc Donalds. He wanted to work at a place where he would be able to have fun and not get bored at. " Mad Mob's pizzeria" Carlton read. Oddly enough Mob's Pizzeria was based off the famous cartoon called the "Mob Squad" based on the six main mobs. Zombie, Creeper, Skeleton, Enderman, Spider and Witch.He saw that the pizzeria was old as hell, established at 1987. The job seemed legit. Carlton was desperate for money so he had no choice . $100 dollars a night, the job was perfect. He wrote down the address and almost a day later he got the job.

A tall man with a black coat and sunglasses approached Carlton. "Are you the boss of this place?" Carlton asked. " Admin." He introduced. Carlton was obliged to shake his hand. The Admin's smiled. The left corner of his lip twitched giving off a creepy vibe.

"I'm Carlton. So where do I start, Admin?" He asked. Admin was silent and went to his car and came out with a medium sized carboard box in his arms.

"Open it."

Carlton opened it only to see a blue uniform, black tie and a Mob Squad pin. The Admin went back and got another box. He opened it. It had a flashlight, a black baton, radio and a stun gun. Also a utility belt.

"Neat-o!" Carlton smiled. As soon as Carlton was dressed, Carlton was ready. "Now that you're ready here's a word of advice. The last guy that worked here was never heard from again. Be careful of the animatronics.. they can't get a bit creepy heh heh. What I'm trying to say is, don't upset them." Admin warned.

Well that was a little cryptic. "I'll be in the morning!" The Admin said as he waved goodbye. It was the start of midnight and Carlton stepped inside. He turned on his flash light and guided himself to his office past the dark corridors. His office seemed normal and it also seemed like it was used. "My first Night" he thought. He settled himself on his office chair. He noticed a flashing green light beside him. It seemed as if he got a message from someone. He played the message.

" A'llo? Yes yes you must be my replacement. My name is Haskalov and have some important advice for you, my friend! Allow me to begin; it is very important that you check the cameras on that Mine-Pad near you. Check it all of the time! Seriously do not take your eyes off of the cameras. These cameras will help you monitor the many rooms in Mob's Pizzeria. You can watch the animatronics. Did the boss ever tell you that these animatronics act strange? They like to move around alot and do as they please. They have minds of their own. I know this sounds rather jarring but I'm telling you the truth. Since the Admin most likely did not tell that this pizzeria has a limited amount of power. Using the cameras and various switches will take power. And also closing the doors will also take power, so use these things effectively or else it could be the death of you." Carlton was very confused and his heart sank, he had no idea of what Haskalov was talking about. None of this was making any sense.

"Be sure to conserve as much power as you can. But don't worry the power will recharge to 100% as soon as day breaks. Now allow me to tell you about the Animatronics. They love when all the power is gone seriously. If any of the animatronics take a liking into then be sure to to close both of the doors so that you feel a little safer. The Zombie animatronic is not very active but you should worry about him anyway, afterall that came back to bite me many times. The skeleton animatronic..well he likes to roam around alot. The Enderman animatronic well he's very creative keep watch over him because he's quite the stalker. The same with the Creeper animatronic. The Witch..the Witch is very, very hostile and dangerous. Oh and the spider well he's another story. Any way good luck my friend may Notch have mercy on your soul!" The message ended with the loud crackling of static. Carlton was distraught after hearing the message, he knew that there was no turning back.

Carlton closed both of the doors immediately and checked the cameras. The power was at 100%. He checked the party room only to see Creeper and Witch still and stiff on the stage. "This place seems normal." He reached into his backpack and pulled out a sprite bottle. He drank and drank until it was empty.

He looked at the storage room that was full of boxes. Then he turned on the kitchen camera. He saw the Skeleton animatronic staring at a rusted oven. The skeleton was wearing pink oven mits. "What the hell? What is he doing?" The animatronic slowly turned his head towards the camera. Carlton froze. ("He's looking at me.") The skeleton stared with his large and yellow beady eyes. He stared into Carlton's soul and Carlton stared at the animatronic back with a horrified expression.

Carlton's heart began to thump repeatedly. His eyes widened. The animatronic swiped at the camera. The camera feed became static, Carlton couldn't see a thing. "These animatronics have minds of their own. These animatronics have minds of their own. These animatronics have minds of their own." Haskalov's advice echoed in Carlton's mind.

Carlton began to panic and checked the power. 89%. It was only 12:47. He six hours left until his shift ended. He wanted to conserve some energy but he was reluctant to open the right door adjacent to him. He opened it anyway. Once again he checked the camera feed. He observed the party room.

Witch disappeared. " S-she was right there moments ago. I could have sworn that she was RIGHT THERE A MOMENT AGO!!" He panicked and checked every room. All of the animatronics except for the Witch were not active. Carlton had to go see this for himself, maybe his eyes were deceiving him just maybe. He took the keys and like an idiot walked through the dark corridors, with his flashlight in the graps of his left hand and his baton on his right. Every step he made, each time he blinked. The black and white checkered floor haunted him, images of his friends and family flashed in his head. He had to fight.

-CRASH!-

Carlton stood dead in his tracks and quivered in fear. That noise came from the party room. The lights i the party room were dim..then he a saw a silhouette peeked at Carlton. Carlton used his cat-like reflexes and shined the flash light but no one was there. He stepped into the party room. Dozens of tables with untouched pizza slices and party hats confused Carlton. He shined his flash light at the stage. Creeper was still there blankly staring into the air. Carlton did not dare to interact with the Creeper. Though he was still worried about the Witches whereabouts. A sigh of relief was interrupted by another sound. It sounded as if boxes were tumbling to the floor from the storage room. He checked the time on his watch. It was 4:03. He had to check on the power so he ran back to his office.

"37%!" He cried. Regardless of his disappointment, he closed both of the doors. He slumped down on his office chair, he tried his best to comfort himself. He didn't even bother to check the camera feeds , all he could think about was to strangle the administrator and quit his job, after all he'll be leaving with $100 dollars in cash. Then he heard metal footsteps. With each step the sound got louder. He quickly took refuge under his office desk. The steps got louder and then they stopped. He looked up only to see the Enderman animatronic stare at him.

" I'm fine, I'm fine he can't come in here." He muttered. His words did not change a thing, he did not feel safe at all even though a metal door was the only thing protecting him. He had only a few minutes. Minutes that felt like years, the animatronic stared at him with his metal mouth wide open. The damn thing closed it's mouth and ignored Carlton's presence. It went about his business and left Carlton alone.

The night shift was over. All of the animatronics powered down and the Admin made his way to Carlton's office only to find Carlton curled up in a ball in a corner.

"Carlton are you alright?!" He asked. He tried to put his hand on Carlton's shoulder but Carlton slapped his hand. Carlton glared at the Admin, with tears in his eyes.

The Admin adjusted his glasses and took out his wallet and pulled out a clean $100 dollar bill. He placed it on the floor. "Here's a $50 dollar bonus" The Admin smirked. Carlton was much obliged to take the money. He got up and wiped his eyes.

" I expect you to come back here by tomorrow night, capeesh?" The Admin asked. Carlton nodded, he really need this money and he was willing to risk everything for it.
