"Hello?" Lily asked after answering her phone.

"Hey, it's Mike." Mike said. "You're still able to do the night shifts right?"

"That's why I got the job." She said. "I'm getting ready to head out right now."

"Great! When you get here I'll show you the ropes." He said, and hung up.

Putting her phone in her pocket with a sigh, she grabbed the hat for the uniform before grabbing her car keys, leaving the apartment.

She felt excited yet nervous about this new job, considering it's her first one. It should be pretty easy from what she heard about what to do from Mike: "Just check the cameras, make sure everything's alright and you should be okay."

Taking a deep breath as she pulled into the parking lot, she headed inside the building, the colorful "Freddy Fazbears" shining brightly.

"And to think they would shut that off." She said to herself as she pushed open the door.

"Lily?" Mike asked, startling her as he suddenly came out of the shadows. "Glad you're here."

He had what looked like black hair, slightly covering his eyes and most of his forehead, dark colored eyes shining under the little light. He wore a dark blue sweatshirt with a purple shirt underneath, blue jeans and regular shoes.

Lily scoffed. "You always do that? Just come out of the shadows?"

He shrugged. "Not all the time." He clapped his hands. "Shall we get started then?"

Giving him a weird look, she nodded slowly. "Sure."

Turning around, Mike pointed to the stage area. "Here's the main stage area. This is where Chica, Bonnie, and Freddy sit when they're not active. We were going to get new ones but they never came. So we still have those old things."

Lily noticed that Bonnie had a guitar, Chica has a cupcake, and Freddy has a microphone. "This supposed to be a band?"

"Technically." He said. "The kids love it."
He wandered to the next room. "This is one of the party rooms. We have four different ones but those aren't ones you really need to worry about. But if you want to check them every now and again with the cameras in the office."

"There's cameras in the office??" Lily said with relief in her voice. "And here I thought I had to walk around for six hours."

Mike chuckled. "Yeah no need for that at all."
Approaching another door, he opened it up, letting Lily inside first.

"Looks like a pirate theme is going on here." She said.

"Basically." He said, going up to the purple curtains, opening them up, revealing a fox with an eye patch and a hook for one of the hands. "This is Foxy. Now this one can be a bit...twitchy at times. So I'd check this one regularly. But he is one of my favorites."

"What do you mean by 'twitchy'?" Lily asked.

Mike cleared his throat. "Nothing major. Just twitchy at times. All you gotta do is keep an eye on him."

Feeling worry go through her, he showed her the rest of the rooms before taking her to the office.

"And here is where your office is." He cleared some of the garbage off of the desk. "Sorry about that. Last security guard that worked here ran out."

A bunch of posters were on the walls in front of her, some of them being drawings from what look like kids that go here.

"Yeah every now and again you might get drawings from the kids." Mike said, noticing she was looking at those. "It's no big deal though."

Lily sat down in the chair. "Okay..so how does this work then?"

Opening up the laptop, the screen was filled with different kinds of rooms, including footage from two cameras on each side of the office outside the two metal doors.

"Each of these cameras are in the rooms I showed you." Mike said, a quick grin on his face before it vanished. "Just check those every now and again. If you absolutely need to, press the buttons by the doors. The green one locks and unlocks the door, the red one turns on the light. Simple job, and I'll see you at 6am."

Lily nodded. "Sounds simple enough..thanks Mike."

"No problem." He said, and left the room.

Leaning towards the computer, she clicked around a little, seeing the picture expand when she clicked on one of the rooms. The only sounds were the buzzing of the lights, the wind from the fan, and the clicking of the mouse.

"Okay...let's do this.." Lily said to herself, checking each camera, not seeing anything change. Looking out the doors, she didn't see anything down there except the flickering lights in the hallways. Clicking on another camera, it expanded the stage area. It was zoomed in on the animatronics, her skin crawling a little bit. They sat still, Bonnie being the closest one to the camera. Chica was in the middle, Freddy on the far right.

Tapping her fingers, she started to feel bored not even ten minutes into her shift. Standing up, she slowly paced around the office, looking at the kids drawings. She saw one of a kid standing next to Freddy, smiling and having fun. Another was a drawing of a kid singing with Chica. The one with Bonnie was different: the kid was playing the guitar with it.

Chuckling, she suddenly heard a noise. On instinct, her hand hovered over her flashlight, slowly inching towards the door on the right. Hearing it again, she peeked down the hall, shining the light.

"Who's down there?" She asked out loud, her voice echoing. Not getting a response, she slowly backed away before quickly heading back to the laptop when the camera went fuzzy. When it came back into focus, something made her heart start slamming.

Bonnie wasn't there.
