Five nights at Feliciano's

Chapter 1

Chapter 1:

Staring up at the building where your new job was located, you were washed over with a feeling of nervousness . It wasn't because it was your first day on the job, it was because the building itself looked creepy. It was emitting some sort of mysterious aura, giving it a untrustworthy atmosphere. The building itself looked old, there were chips and cracks in the brick walls and the huge sign on the front of the building looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years. It made you wonder why this place was so popular.

Surely there are restaurant's that are more clean and modern than this one? Why would anyone want to eat here?

Gazing up at the sign you looked at the bold lettering. Feliciano's hetaloid pizzeria? It was a weird name for a simple pizzeria but you had heard from others that the name suits the place well. You looked down at your watch 6:30pm.

You were the new night guard for this place and your shift started at midnight. However Your boss had asked you to arrive at 6:30 so he could show you around, give you your uniform and he also said something about you meeting some people but you had no idea what he meant by that. Perhaps he meant introducing you to the other staff members?

You sighed and pushed open one of the doors to the pizzeria. To be honest you were hesitant to even go in. You've never had a night job before and being in a creepy place like this at night, all alone, scared you a little bit, but you needed the money. How else would you pay for your new house without a job?

Once you walked through the doors you were instantly hit with the smell of freshly made pizza, which made you hum in delight. You continued though to the main room. The place was a lot bigger than you would have expected. Who knew it would be so big for a simple pizzeria. Not only that but there were robots on stages singing and dancing as the kids joined in with them.

The atmosphere inside was a lot different than the one of the outside. Inside everything was lively and the children were jumping around, some holding balloons, others enjoying their pizza.

Even the parents had smiles on their faces seeing how happy their little ones where. The Robot's continued to sing together, some playing instruments. For robots they seemed happy to see the children having fun, which seemed weird because robots don't have emotions.

You had heard about these robots. They were called hetaloids. They sang songs to families who came here to eat, their most popular one being Marukaite chikyuu, which the children seemed to love.

The hetaloids were all different nationalities and told the children different stories about their countries past, as well as singing. If you had to guess, then it was probably the hetaloids that made this place so popular. After all there was no other place around here that had anything that came close to these entertaining hetaloids. Everyone loved them! Whether they were locals or tourists, no one could resist them. They brought happiness to everyone.

They were almost famous for being so entertaining and loved by both kids and adults but some people say that this place is hiding a dark secret. You could understand why people would say this. This place did seem like it was hiding something. But what?

"Ah! (name). Glad to see your here on time." Your new boss said cheerfully as he approached you. You smiled at him and nodded, you wouldn't of let yourself be late on the first day, you really needed this job and refused to do anything that could get you in trouble. "It's no problem." You answered and your boss dotted something down on the clip board he was holding.

"Right! Well, first you will need to get changed into your uniform and then we can get onto other matters." he said and led you to a staff room which had a changing room in the back. Once you got inside you saw a uniform neatly laying on top of the bench. You quickly threw it on, not wanting to keep your boss waiting, but as soon as you looked at yourself in the mirror you started to blush and was a little more reluctant to leave the changing room than before. "U-Um. D-do i h-have to wear t-this?" You stuttered out an heard some shuffling on the other side of the door before you got an answer. "Yes. of course. Is there something wrong with it?" He asked clearly oblivious to the problem.

You looked at yourself in once more and started to blush again. The uniform consisted of some navy blue shorts, that in your opinion were a bit too short, A button up short sleeve top that was the same colour as the shorts and had the top two buttons missing, some black boots that reached to just under you knee cap, a black leather belt that held your keys and a flashlight on it and a hat that matched the rest of the outfit and read night guard on it.

"Don't you think this is a little inappropriate." You argued

"No. We haven't had a girl night guard in awhile but the last time we did she was alright with what she had to wear. We haven't been able to order a new uniform yet so I apologise if it's not in top condition for you. At least you only have the night shift, right? That way no one is going to see you." He reasoned and you sighed in defeat.

You walked out feeling a little uncomfortable and your boss gave you an encouraging smile. "See you look fine!"

'but i don't feel fine' you thought and followed him back through to the main room. As you were following him you tried to cover yourself up a bit more, like pulling your shorts down a bit more to cover your legs and pulling at your shirt to hide your chest.

Your boss gave you a tour of the place, He showed you the kitchen, the staff room, the files room, which he told you not to go into without permission, and finally your station. It was a small room with a fan, a phone and a few posters of the hetaloids hanging on the walls. You felt a small shiver go down your spine, something did not feel right about this room but you couldn't tell what.

Once your boss guided you back to the main room you saw the last of the children and their parents leaving. 'Must be closing time'.

"(name), why don't you stay here and get to know the hetaloids before your shift starts? I'll be in my office getting some papers and then i will be making my way home. Goodnight and good luck." He said before he disappeared from the room.

You looked over to the hetaloids who were on stage talking with each other. You raised an eyebrow, It was weird, they were robots yet they were talking and acting like normal humans. They looked so life like as well. Whoever made them must be very talented. You shook off the thought and watched them talk amongst themselves. You were unsure of whether to approach them or not. You wanted to introduce yourself but at the same time something was holding you back.

One of the hetaloids with blond hair and a strange cowlick was the first to notice your presence in the room, but the happy, carefree expression on his face turned to a one of pure shock as soon as he lay his eyes on you. He got the attention of a different hetaloid who also had blond hair and turned to looked at him with annoyed expression.

"What do you want now git?" the other hetaloid asked in a British accent and the one with the strange cowlick, who hadn't taken his eyes off of you, pointed in your direction. The British hetaloid saw what he was pointing at and his face also turned to a one of shock. It wasn't just shock it was fear as well, they both looked terrified.

After awhile the rest of the hetaloids caught onto your presence and they all stared at you with a mixture of worry, concern, fear and shock. It was silent in the room and all the attention was on you.

You fidgeted under their gazes playing with the hem of your sleeve. Why were they all staring at you like that? Had you done something wrong or scared them in some way.

You looked down at your watch, refusing to meet their eyes, and saw the time was 11:30. You quickly walked out of the room wanting to get out of the uncomfortable situation.

You went around the building and made sure all of the door and windows were locked securely and went to your office.

You sat in the chair and grabbed the tablet that was on the table. You changed to the camera in the main room and saw the hetaloids talking amongst themselves once again but this time they looked very serious. Which didn't match to their personalities you had seen so far. You wondered what they could have been talking about that made them so serious all of a sudden. It all started when they first saw you. What had you done to make them act this way?

You watched the Hetaloids walk behind a curtain that led to back stage and soon after you heard a strange sound come from the main room. "It sounds like they've shut down for the night" You said to yourself.

A loud bell chime rang throughout the pizzeria. You looked down at your watch once more and saw the time.

12:00am

Guess my shift starts now..
