Night 2 in the office of Freddy's Pizzeria. Tonight's coffee is a delicious cinnamon-sugar breve with an extra shot of espresso and whipped cream, but I don't think it's worth the price. The phone rang again tonight, just as I put my coffee cup up to my lips, scaring me out of my wits and causing me to spill my coffee all over the front of my shirt. I picked up the phone after grabbing a napkin to clean up my shirt. The voice from the night before came through the phone.

Uhh,Hello? Hello? Uh, well, if you're hearing this and you made it to day two, uh, congrats! I-I won't talk quite as long this time since Freddy and his friends tend to become more active as the week progresses. Uhh, it might be a good idea to peek at those cameras while I talk just to make sure everyone's in their proper place.

Uh... Interestingly enough, Freddy himself doesn't come off stage very often. I heard he becomes a lot more active in the dark though, so, hey, I guess that's one more reason not to run out of power, right? I-I also want to emphasize the importance using of your door lights. There are blind spots in your camera views, and those blind spots happen to be right outside your doors. So if-if you can't find something, or someone, on your cameras, be sure to check the door lights. Uh, you might only have a few seconds to react... Uh, not that you would be in any danger, of course. I'm not implying that. Also, check on the curtain in Pirate Cove from time to time. The character in there seems unique in that he becomes more active if the cameras remain off for long periods of time. I guess he doesn't like being watched. I don't know. Anyway,I'm sure you have everything under control! Uh, talk to you soon.

I wasn't sure who was calling me, but it was obviously a recording from a previous night guard. I decided it was best to just leave the night guard mystery alone and looked at the camera. Bonnie had left the stage area again. I was still nervous about what might happen, even after what I had experienced the night before. I looked at the dining area,but Bonnie wasn't there. I moved the camera to the backstage area, my heart starting to race ... "There you are ..." I put down the monitor and took a sip of my coffee, thinking about tonight's phone call ... I wondered who the "character" the guy on the phone was referring to was ... the name "Pirate Cove" seemed familiar, but I couldn't think why.

I checked the camera again. Bonnie was still in the backstage area, Freddy and Chica were still on the stage, and I went to the Pirate Cove camera.The curtains were closed and there was a small wooden sign that had the words "-Sorry!- OUT OF ORDER" hand-written on it. I sighed and put the monitor back down thinking about another repressed memory, a little bit clearer than the last one, of the same birthday party as before. It was my birthday party. Now I remembered where I'd heard of Pirate Cove before.

I was sitting atone of the tables eating pizza, when I felt a hand on my shoulder. Ihad looked up and seen that it was my favorite animatronic, Foxy the Pirate. He had then taken me up onto the deck of his ship in the Pirate Cove as the best birthday gift ever. He had let me become the Captain for the day. My classmates were the crew and Foxy was my First Mate. I hadn't known at the time that Foxy did this for all kids' birthday parties, so this was the best day I'd ever had.

I snapped back to reality as I noticed the cameras were black. I switched to each camera in quick succession, trying to find out what was going on, but the cameras came back a moment later and I saw Bonnie was still in the backstage area, but when I went to the stage, Chica was gone and Freddy had turned to face the camera. I kept staring at Freddy for a few minutes, but then I got the sense to check the other cameras for Chica. It didn't take long to find her, but I still panicked a little bit. I thought I heard something outside my door, but when I checked my door lights, nothing was there.

"Ah ... it's 3A.M., I have 53% of my power left, and I'm hearing things ..." I thought, finishing off my now-cold coffee. I checked the cameras and noticed that both Bonnie and Chica had moved again. I frantically switched cameras and found Bonnie in the West hall, but I couldn't find Chica. I did hear something from the right hallway ... pots and pans being banged around in the kitchen. I assumed that it was Chica that was in the kitchen and decided to check back later. I checked Pirate Cove again ... still nothing happening over there.

4 A.M. arrived and the routine continues on. I had two more hours and 35% of my power left ... I wondered if I was going to make it through the night without losing power ...? I checked the Pirate Cove camera, and saw,with a terrible shock of fear I hadn't known since my childhood, Foxy peeking out from behind the curtain, beckoning towards the camera. He was in a state of horrible disrepair. His lower jaw was hanging on its hinges as if it had been dislocated and he was missing a couple of teeth. I never imagined that I'd be so afraid of my favorite character from Freddy's, but I had to get back to watching the other animatronics.

I searched the cameras and found Chica in the East hall, but when I tried to find Bonnie, I couldn't find him ... I looked at every single camera, and still couldn't find Bonnie. I heard footsteps to my left and quickly put down the camera and checked my left door light. My heart skipped a beat as I stared right into Bonnie's soulless animatronic eyes in the doorway. I quickly shut the door, more afraid than I had been in years, I rushed to the monitor and looked at Pirate Cove. The curtain was now open wider and Foxy was outside of the curtain, looking at the camera with those white, glowing eyes. He was missing parts of his suit, revealing the metal endoskeleton inside and his hook had a rusty appearance. It was 5:54 A.M. and I only had 9% of my power left. I decided to check the door light and saw through the window that Bonnie was gone. I opened the door and I checked the monitor and found Chica now in the East hall corner and Bonnie in the storage closet. Foxy was still where he was, and Freddy was no longer staring at the camera. I put the monitor down and shut both of the doors to wait for six more minutes.

Almost as soon as the clock hit 6 A.M., I heard banging on the door. I closed my eyes in my chair, waiting for them to burst through my defenses, until I heard the voice of the manager outside the door. "Mike! Mike! Hey,Mike!" I sighed a sigh of relief and opened the door. The manager sighed and said, "Oh, man! For a second there, I thought ... no ...nevermind what I thought ... you good to go, Mike?" I nodded and walked out the door to go home.
