Behind Closed Doors

Scott

The door closed.

Mike stared and couldn't comprehend anything. Jeremy kept his eyes covered and Scott kept his eyes closed. Vincent stared at them.

"It's alright guys." He said. He was scared, though, so it came out almost like a whimper.

Scott opened his eyes. In front of him, Vincent was standing with his hands still on the door button. He was sweating and shaking.

Jeremy uncovered his eyes and Mike finally was able to move. Mike looked at the door and gasped. He put an arm around Jeremy.

Scott felt his knees go weak. He fell and Vincent caught him.

"It's alright now." Vincent whispered to Scott. Vincent took Scott to the back of the office and laid him down on the floor. He used his jacket as a pillow.

"W-What..." Mike tried to speak but he still couldn't comprehend anything.

Jeremy stood up and sat on the bench. He looked for the other animatronics, but they were where they were before. Mike went to the left door and turned on the light. He saw the shadow of Bonnie and turned the light back off. He then went back to the right door and turned on the light. He saw nothing and turned it off.

"V-Vincent?" Scott asked.

"It's ok now." Vincent said to Scott. He sat down next to Scott and put Scott's head on his lap, throwing the jacket away.

Scott calmed a little. He stayed there for a couple of minutes, then he tried to get up.

"You're too weak. Just rest a little." Vincent said.

"But, I need to help-"

Vincent shook his head. "You rest here and we'll work."

Scott was going to argue, but Mike and Jeremy agreed with Vincent.

"Alright, fine." Scott said.

Vincent stood up and used the jacket as a pillow again. He went to the right door and Mike went to the left. Scott tried to stay awake, but soon fell asleep.

After an hour Scott woke up and saw that nothing had changed. The time was 4 am and the power was at 30%.

Jeremy was trying to keep the power by keeping the security cameras off until a couple minutes passed, checking the camera for the animatronics quickly, and then turning it off again.

Mike and Vincent weren't as conserving. They turned the lights on too much and closed the doors when they felt it was good, which was too early.

Scott sat up. He was already really annoyed at their methods.

"You two are doing it all wrong." He said, standing up and walking to the right door.

Everyone jumped. They hadn't seen or heard him wake up.

"You turn the light on after a bit more. And you close the door when the animatronics are at the door and close them right when they are gone." Scott said, gesturing with his hands the time between when they turn the light off to the next time they turn the light on and where the animatronic should be when they close the door.

"That got you almost killed last time." Vincent said, with a slight grin.

Scott reddened. "Whatever." He mumbled, and sat back down on the floor.
