Then I put the animatronic on the stage and entered the security office as the lights shut off. The phone rang three times before I picked up.
“Hello? Hello hello? Hello, um you may have seen the smaller stage with the curtain in the west hall. That one was always a bit different, it climbs into the ventilation system instead of moving through the halls like the others. Just listen, if you hear banging look up and flash your flashlight. That animatronic gets disoriented with bright lights and the system reset doesn’t work on that one. You know um this diner was originally a local place until the at the time more popular fredbear’s family diner bought it out and they rebranded the place replacing the old animatronics with the spring lock models. Well um at this point the safety of the spring lock models are being questioned, you probably know if the spring lock suits are abandoned or not when you're hearing this. Well um just don’t let the characters into your office and try to survive,” the voice over the phone said before ending the message and leaving only the quiet hum of the dim light above me.
I flipped through the camera systems, and the cat had moved. I frantically flipped through the cameras, but he was nowhere to be seen. Then I checked the east hall, and there he was.
I switched the animatronic reset switch on as quickly as I could then I noticed that the front curtain was moving, so I ran up to it and closed it as quickly as I could. Then I heard a metallic banging, so I checked the vent and the lizard animatronic was there. I flashed the animatronic several times, once it finally left I flipped through the cameras.
The main stage was empty beside the wolf, the second one was empty and the third stage had it’s curtain shut showing that the lizard animatronic was there. I looked through the cameras again, the cat was in the party room and the bull was in the maintenance closet. I grabbed the gray box and ran to the party room, then when I was there I flipped the switch and waited for it to sync up then once it was done syncing I ran to the office as quickly as I could.
I sat down in my chair, the bull was in the office so I clicked the light shut off button as quickly as I could. I heard a familiar song play as mechanisms from the bull hurt my ears and clashed with the music. Then the bull slowly half walk half limped out of the office.
I turned the lights on and the music stopped as the main curtains started to open. I ran over to them and slammed them closed, then I flipped through the cameras. The wolf was still on stage, the cat was in the parts storage room, the lizard was peaking out of the slim opening in the curtains and the bull was in the dining area. I grabbed the small gray box and ran out of the office into the west hall then shifted my pace into a sneak as a passed the lizard’s stage then I crept into the parts storage room and flipped the switch.
It showed a syncing message then the message disappeared and the cat went into reboot mode as I ran back to the office. I started to flip through the cameras as the curtains started to open, I ran over to the curtains and closed them. Then I ran back to the chair and flipped through the cameras again.
The bull had moved to the arcade and stared at the camera, seemingly trying to show something. Then I heard the sound of a grandfather clock and an image of the time 5:59 turning into 6:00 am appeared on my screen as the lights turned on. I think I may have cried I was so happy, I had survived two whole nights here.
Then it dawned on me that I still had to fulfill my end of the deal, so I walked onstage and walked up to the Spring-Alex animatronic. I turned the crank in the back of it and it collapsed onto the floor as I heard a click. Then I pulled the head of the animatronic back with a click as it locked in place, then I unzipped the zipper in the back of the animatronic and climbed into it carefully. Then I zipped the zipper in the back and carefully pulled the head down to cover my own.
Then I saw four children walking by, I started to walk towards them.
“Hello children! Do you want cake?” I said in a fake cheery tone despite how I truly felt.
“Yeah?” they answered while also asking sort of a question.
“Well follow me then!” I said still in the same fake cheery tone as I started to walk with them following me. I turned right and entered the kitchen then locked the door behind them as I spotted a knife. I grabbed the knife and stabbed them, they started to bleed profusely until they died.
Then I unlocked the door and walked outside of the kitchen to see Liam standing there with four animatronic suits that somewhat resembled the animatronics I had grown accustomed to. “Did you do the task ?” he asked.
“Yeah, It was pretty easy actually,” I simply answered as I dragged the four bodies out of the kitchen into the dining area. Then he took the head of each animatronic off and took each body and started to shove them into the suits, as he did that several sounds of metal gears and wires clashing against each other as he shoved them in, then he put the heads back on the animatronics hiding the dead bodies from view.
After he did that he handed me a stack of money, “here’s the money I promised you,” he stated simply as I took the money and shoved it in my pocket. As the sun started to set he left and I took off the suit put it on stage as I putted it into suit mode before heading towards the security office.
