Dark Halls and Metal Footsteps

Chapter 4 - Missing Bear

'Alright, stay calm. Caleb said they move around, he must've just moved out of the camera's sight.' Tony silently tried to steer his thoughts away from panic as he switched from view to view, waiting until he found the brown behemoth hiding in the shadows of the restrooms. The seven foot bear was staring directly into the camera with a smug smile on his face. Of course, he always had a smug smile on his face.

Sighing, Tony put the tablet down. 'Okay, I found Freddy. Bonnie and Chica are both at the stage.' He thought for a second before picking up the tablet to find the pirate. Just as the screen's static faded enough for him to make out Pirate's Cove, he saw a tail slide out of view. The night guard nearly has a panic attack as he hears loud steps echo off the left hall, and he slams his hand on the button for the left door.

Click.

Click click.

By the time the fox got to the open door, there were footsteps going the other direction. Tony was holding the huge metal flashlight like a bat, slowly creeping along the tile floor. He didn't see anyone sneaking behind him... He guessed that Foxy went back to where he came from. The night guard shone his flashlight towards the dining area, and his breathing stopped. Staring back at him, beak open and revealing a second set of teeth behind the mask, was Chica. She let out and ungodly shriek and began running towards him, and he was frozen. By the time he began moving his feet, she'd almost caught up. Her hand reached for his neck as he sprinted as fast as he could and he landed a solid swing on it, denting both his flashlight and the yellow arm, and sending a loud metal ring through the restaurant. He swung into his office and slammed the red button beside the right door. A wave of relief washed over him as the huge metal barrier slammed down, leaving the bird on the other side. Mechanical screeching was heard, as if she was frustrated that he'd gotten away, or maybe signalling that Tony had returned to the office. As his breathing slowed, Tony gulped and reached for the tablet and switched through the view a few times. Foxy was peering out of his curtain, Chica was back in the dining hall. He grinned and opened the door back up to conserve his power.

As soon as he opened the door, he regretted it.

The seven foot bear glared down at Tony with a sinister smile. The night guard reacted in a split second, dropping the tablet and running out the other door. Padded feet were hitting the ground heavily as Freddy gave chase, but he wasn't as fast as the lean guard. Tony smirked as he figured he was home free, but he was far from it. Foxy's eyes glowed and his hook glinted in the flashlight's glare as the two animatronics closed in on their prey. A deep laugh bounced off the walls, blaring in Tony's ears.

A purple hand shot out of the supply closet and pulls him in, and the closet door slammed shut. Tony found himself staring into the eyes of Bonnie. The rabbit's paw was clamped over Tony's mouth, muffling his screams. The animatronic's mouth opened slowly...

(A/N Sorry for the short chapter, hopefully I'll have another one done soon! In the meantime, I'm sure you can find another FNaFiction to dive into. Anyways, happy reading!)
