        Nate groaned as his phone woke him up. Rolling over, he fumbled for the device on his nightstand and looked at the ID. It was Stephanie. He accepted the call and brought the phone to his ear, yawning and blinking away sleep. "Hello?"
"Nate, when you were filming with Matthew, did you notice anything... off about him?" She sounded like she had been crying. Nate was fully awake now.
"...No, I can't say I did. Steph, is everything okay?"
"I think he's going crazy. He's-" She was cut off by a crash in the background.
"Steph, are you still there? Steph!" "I'm here."
"Get a weapon, something to defend yourself with, and hide. I'll be there as soon as I can." Nate hung up and raced to the car.


Nate entered the house, grateful that the door was unlocked. He saw Stephanie hiding behind the couch in the livestream room. He quickly scurried over. "You okay?"
Matthew entered the room.

Nate pushed him down, pinning him to the floor.
"Hey Steph." he said as Matt thrashed beneath him. "My phone's in my back pocket. Could you call Mark for me and put him on speaker?" She grabbed the phone and started going through his contacts. Nate hoped this would work.
"Hello? Nate?" Mark's gruff voice came over the phone.
"Hey, Mark. I can't really explain anything right now, but it would be really helpful if you started singing the FNAF musical right now!" Matt snapped at Nate and started growling. "It's sort of important!"
"Uh, okay. Somewhere something's hiding in the dark." ♬
♬ "Somewhere Springtrap's out there roaming free!" Nate joined in. "Somewhere here a monster's on the move."
♬ "Something tells me we're all gonna be... dead!" ♬ Nate could feel Matt tiring.
♬ "Come on Freddy find it! Don't let things get any worse!" ♬
♬ "There, dead ahead! Should be shiny and red!" ♬
♬ "Looks like somebody got to it first!" ♬ Matthew had stopped snapping and was struggling feebly.
♬ "Somewhere there's a thing I'm s'ppossed to find." "Is he always like this?" ♬
♬ "Bonnie, turn around you dim behind!" "Someone help I can't find this alone!" ♬
♬ "Camera's down; look sharp! You're on your own!" ♬
"Cummon Matt..." Nate said quietly. Matthew stopped struggling. "Matthew?"
"Nate?" Nate breathed a sigh of relief. "Will someone please tell me what's going on here?"
Nate picked up the phone. "Thanks. Listen, I can't explain right now, but I promise I'll call you back later and tell you everything, okay?"
"Okaaayyy? Bye?" Nate hung up. He turned to Matt. "So, tell me what happened. From the beginning."
