Just One More Hour...

Chapter 7: All aboard the nope train

Night 12

Tortuga wrote in a note that she couldn't find any more tapes during the day. Which means I have to actually do my job. So yeah... anyways I check cam9, which is the entrance to the maze. To which I see an open set of double doors. Not in fact what I was hoping for.

Ok I'll explain, so basically I've become a friend to almost every animatronic here, accept one. That one is normally in the maze. I have no idea as to why, but I'm pretty sure he hates me. I don't really know what to do when he comes around. However I have found that hiding in the bathroom works, oh yeah and before I forget, it's name is Blip. Also Blip tends to cut off the power for the zone, and whenever he does then it's my responsibility to turn the power back on. Sometimes I think they're just being a pest on purpose. At least one of the other animatronics normally walks with me to go turn the power on. But I haven't really seen anyone tonight and it's making me kinda scared. I then check cam 12 and sure enough there's Blip just sitting there staring at me through the camera, for some reason it feels like he can actually see me. I start to freak out a little and just as I put down the tablet Blip grins and starts to laugh quietly. What is up with him?

Anyways I finally pull myself away from the tablet just to hear a distinct crackle of electricity, and next thing I know the lights are out... and I'm sitting in my office... alone... in the dark... with some crazy shadowy animatronic stalking me... from the very shadows that are surrounding me... and I can't call for help... I think I may have forgotten to tell a rather important detail about myself, I... I'm scared of the dark... and of being alone... needless to say I freak out, really really badly. "B-blip? P-p-p-please turn the l-lights back on. Please! I-i know y-you can hear me!" I yelled.

To which only the response I got was a mischievous snicker followed by silence. I sat shivering in fear waiting for Blip to just come in and finish what he had now started. Blip seemed to be rather happy to watch me suffer from my fears. After about an hour of sitting in the dark and panicking I finally muster up the courage to leave my office... alone. I finally get into the main dining room. I can barely breath now.

Then something snaps, not that I mentally snapped but something, physically, snapped. I panic again fighting everything in me that's telling me to run. My legs start to shake much more intensely than before. I hear whatever just snapped something come closer... and closer. Suddenly my heart starts to pound, louder than a bass drum, and faster than the auto fire on a semi-automatic assault rifle in Resident evil. Everything in me is telling me to run. This thing is now about ten feet away from me at the least, and yet it feels less than an inch away from the back of my neck. I whimper slightly. My legs now refuse to move forwards no matter how much I will them to run. This thing now is now calmly walking towards me, I then hear what sounds like this thing unsheathing metal. My eyes greatly widen. I suddenly feel my ability to move come back to me. I run with all of my might to the fuse box, while being absolutely terrified. I just then notice that I've been crying out of distress this entire time. Then whatever had been in the main hall with me starts to chase me. I run through the side hall and down the stairs to the generator. As I get about halfway down the stairs the door to the basement slams shut. I finally get the lights back on and manage to calm down. Suddenly I get hit with an unexplainable feeling of dread. I decide not to pay it any mind and go up to open the door. "H-huh?" I say. The door was locked... but Blip shouldn't have the keys. Quickly I check my key ring. "Nope still there..." I tell myself quietly. I reach for my walky talky to check on the others, and possibly see if someone is pranking me. About half way through reaching for it I remember that I'd left it in my office to charge.I start to look around the room to possibly find a way out.

There is a large pile of boxes off in one corner of the room, the generator and the zone's fuse box are both against the back wall, there is also a small grated vent on the left wall, and finally the room is absolutely filled with pipes. To sum it up I'm in the spooky basement no one would ever want to be in. Anyways I decided it would be best to search the room as thoroughly as is humanly possible. After about an hour and a half I manage to find a screw driver. Of course I'm not sure what to do with it... but at least I made progress...? " Oh wait I still have my keys!" I exclaim. I get the door open and finally go to check on the others. I run at full speed back to my office. " H-hello?! Mia? Karry? Katty? Fin? Anyone there?" I shout into my walky talky. A few moments of dead air filled my office before Fin responded " Yeah I'm here Mia gave me the news about the power and I'm working on it. I should be done in about six or seven minutes and then there's gonna be a half hour of delay bu-" I cut him off " Fin I have power in my zone. I-I just wanted to make sure I w-wasn't alone." I started to cry again. " I just wanted to make sure th-that everyone's ok." I somehow manage to stutter out through my tears of relief.

"Oh... oh yeah I forgot that you have monophobia and nyctophobia. Well... don't worry big guy I'm just down here in the basement whenever you need me!" Fin responded trying to sound cheerful, and then it dawns on me, " Uh... Fin? Why aren't the others responding? Is something wrong?! I-I'm starting t-to freak out a-again Fin!". Fin seems to realise I am in dire need of company now and responds

" Shhh... listen David there's nothing to be afraid of. Just... just give me a sec to get up there ok? Would that be better?" Shakily I replied " Y-yeah i-it would...", and so I waited for what felt like an eternity, according to the clock however it was about two minutes.

Then all of a sudden I felt really dizzy and really really cold, I start to breath quickly, and finally my tears of joy turn to fear, all just seconds after the zone's power cut out again. I panic... again. Fin still isn't here. I start to shake again as I think and practically see all the worst possible outcomes. One of which makes an unbearable pain start in my chest, what if whatever was after me killed him? What if it was coming for me next? What if that thing got rid of my animatronic friends? Maybe that thing killed the others. Maybe it only let me live because I ran into the basement and out of it's way. Then the worst thought came into my head. What if it's goal was to kill others that it captured, and even worse what if it was... Jonathan Blake?

Jonathan was the supposed killer of lil' Rosey, after all who's to say he's not out for more blood? I don't care that he was declared not guilty he was still the most likely suspect! But if he's here... h-he could kill us all in a heartbeat. If he's here... then we're all doomed. Just after I thought about all that I suddenly felt really nauseous. I carefully laid down on the floor to wait until the room would stop spinning. Then I saw a bunch of quietly whispering shadows gathering in my doors I pulled myself further under my desk, turned on my flashlight grabbed a tex plushie that was on my desk and closed my eyes, all while quietly mumbling about how I hope that I fainted in the basement and this is all just a nightmare.

I start to hear footsteps coming towards me, only the thing is that they sound so... weird. The footsteps sound somewhat distorted, and by this point I can really tell what's fake anymore. I mean I know that I'm hallucinating somethings, like how the tex doll is speaking... or at least I hope I'm hallucinating that. But the footsteps are some of the most believable things happen right now. I get up and decide to run away. However getting back up makes the nausea and pain in my chest worse, so I don't really run so much as quickly hobble down the hallway. The footsteps seem to continue towards me. The coldness suddenly turns to a searing heat, and my heart begins to pound harder. I then realize I just left my only light source and only companion in my office.

Every shadow around me seems to devour any and all light around me. Suddenly everything is getting worse. Then just as I need them most, my eyes close and I fall to the ground. A few meters away from me I hear what sounds like a knife scraping against a nearby wall. Suddenly my vision fades to oily blackness.

"They came..."
