The Murderer's Child

Punishment? (+ night 5)

"You lot are idiots!" Shadow yelled, walking into the main room of the house, finding four of her five housemates there.

"What have we done now ?" Chica looked at her, confused.

"What have you done? Well, for a start, why is my kitchen a mess?"

"Why are you shouting?"

"Bonnie, did you leave the kitchen a mess?"

"Why are you accusing me first? I can't cook!"

"Exactly! If you can't cook, you would leave the kitchen a mess!"

"If I couldn't cook, why would I be in the kitchen anyway?"

"Shad, sorry to interrupt," Gold started, "But at this point in time, there's only you and Chica who can cook... without giving anyone food poisoning, anyway..."

"Okay, you raise a very good point. Chica, Did you leave the kitchen a mess?"

"I walked in less than five minutes ago and went straight away to get changed! How could it have been me?"

"Good point. Freddy?"

"Dont look at me for answers! I was with Bonnie doing homework!"

"Okay, that rules out Bonnie too. Wait... Where's Foxy?"

"When I came in, he was running out of the kitchen..." Chica smiled.

"When I get see him next his pretty face won't be so pretty any more!" She yelled, just loud enough that Foxy could hear.

Footsteps tapped lightly across the upstairs hall as a flash of red hair ran past the stairs.

"Foxy! Get down here!"

"No!" was the muffled reply.

"Gold, go get Foxy down here please."

"Why me?"

"Because I say and this is my house."

He ran upstairs quietly. Five minutes later, there was a loud scream followed by laughing.

"What the heck's happening up there?" Freddy went to the bottom of the stairs to try and see what was happening.

"I want to know who screamed! That was hilarious." Shadow laughed, sitting on the floor in boredom.

Gold then appeared, dragging Foxy behind him.

"Can I drag him downstairs or is that a bit too harsh?" He laughed.

"Go ahead." Shadow was still sat on the floor, still laughing and trying to decide what he should do to Foxy as punishment for leaving the kitchen a mess. It was a petty thing, she knew, but she wanted to teach them a lesson.

The group sat laughing as Foxy got dragged feet first down the stairs, trying to avoid hitting his head on each stair.

"Do I need any more punishment?" He asked sarcastically as they reached the main room.

"Uh... Chica?" Shad began, smirking and looking at Chica, "Get the wooden spoon and you can chase both of those idiots." She pointed at Foxy and Gold, who now looked terrified.

"Please no! I'll never make a mess again!"

"Chica, hey! We're friends? Shad, why am I getting punished?"

"Well, you asked if you could drag Foxy down the stairs, which is pretty cruel. I dont think he deserved it, I just wanted to see how painful it actually was."

"Gee, thanks Shady. So im a guinea pig now! " Foxy finished, before realising Chica was now stood a few feet away, weapon in hand. "Uh... See ya!" He began running, as did Gold.

After nearly an hour of random yells and screams from the two victims and the others laughing at the failed attempts of escaping Chica, it was nearly 10 pm.

"Hey, Chica? You can quit now. I'm going to go have a shower and then you guys can, then we'll have food and head out to the pizzeria, fair?" Everyone nodded in agreement.

11:55

"Right. Night five! Lets get this over with..."

Shadow headed straight to the office and picked up the ringing phone. Instead of the phone guy talking, tonight was just static and weird noises. Then it struck her. The phone guy had been either taken away or killed. Freddy and Bonnie joined her at the office.

"So... What ya doin'?"

"Well... Lets go see where the phone dude is?"

"Wait... what?"

"Last night, he was saying that it had been a, quote, unquote" bad night" for him. And that he would like the next nightguard to go check the back room. At the end, he was suddenly cut off and there was a lot of screaming and then deathly silence." She explained. "No pun intended, by that. Im guessing he met with a horrible fate from what I heard." She finished.

"Well then... I guess we could do that?"

They left the office and began searching. Every corridor and every room was checked, but they couldn't find the 'back room'.

"It isn't the parts and services room, is it? I mean, that rooms at the back and its where we kept all the spare suits..."

"Bonnie, I didn't ever think I'd ever say this, but you're a genius!" Freddy yelled.

"Wait... Is that a compliment?" He smiled brightly.

"Its a compliment and an insult..." Shadow laughed.

"Shut it! I found the room!"

Freddy opened the door to reveal several seemingly empty suits scattered in the dark room. It was creepy to say the least. Endoskeletons sat on some shelves, heads on others. Suits lay abandoned on the floor and tools were scattered everywhere. There was one suit in particular, though, that Shad was drawn to. It was an old, very damaged, dirty one. None of the three could decipher which animatronic it once was. She walked closer to it, kneeling down to inspect it further.

She lifted the head slightly to look at it better. Dried blood and mucus sat around all of the joints of the suit and around the eyes and mouth in particular. Whenever she made the slightest move, a horrible cracking noise echoed through the small room. Freddy flicked the light on so Shad could look properly at the suit. She flinched slightly at the sight she was met with. The noise could have either been the suit being locked up or the bones of the mangled corpse inside breaking. Unfortunately, it was the latter.

"This is an older suit. Before the time of this pizzeria, but I doubt the corpse itself is much older than a few weeks, maybe a few months at most..." She said, "But I'm gonna tell that manager as soon as he gets here! Geez if nobody has noticed a rotting corpse yet, then theirs either something very wrong or this room never gets used... Poor guy. "

They headed back to the office, finding the recording from the night before. A distant clock struck six am and the manager promptly walked in.

"Shadow. The pizzeria is being renovated over the weekend so it will be different on Monday when you return... just so you know." he said, walking over to the desk.

"Ok, Thanks. By the way, in the parts and service room, there's an old animatronic that seems to have a corpse in it? Here's the recording that we found and to be honest, I'm kinda scared now. Anyway, I'll see you Monday." She smiled and left, waiting just around the corner for the animatronics to join her...
