New Beginnings

New Nightmare

Fire opened her eyes and blinked when she found herself in an unfamiliar place. Drawings and posters lined the walls while tables lined the floor in-front of a stage with three animatronics; a bear, a purple rabbit, and a yellow...duck?

The wolf girl groaned, rubbing her head as she sat up with a yawn, "Did I get dropped in another dimension?"

She rubbed her eyes, her vision clearing, "Where the hell-" Fire froze, looking back at the stage again as she stood up, "...No fucking way."

The wolf hybrid looked over to her left where a purple curtain with star designs hung, a sign by it that had the words, "Sorry! Out Of Order!" Scrawled on it with permanent marker. When she looked back at the main stage, she jumped when one of the animatronics was different from before; the bear seemed to be looking at something over her shoulder. In fact, if Fire didn't know any better, she would say it was glaring. When the wolf girl turned to see what the bear was staring at with such malice, she spotted a camera slowly swinging back and forth, but when she looked back at the animatronic, the bear was normal again.

Fire swallowed hard, walking toward the bear, "So, this is Wes huh?" She muttered. Then, the wolf stopped, shaking her head, "No, it's...really not."

Giving the brown bear one more weary look, she walked away, her claws tapping on the floor as she slowly passed the tables, "Where would Danny be in this place?"

The wolf teen walked down a long hallway, taking in the decorations, there even seemed to be a brown stain in a corner that she didn't want to identify. She finally came to a small office with a man, sweat visible on his forehead and under his arms as he clicked through clips from an old-fashioned camera. He jolted in his seat when the purple rabbit was gone from the stage and glanced warily at the door Fire came through.

The wolf girl tilted her head, walking over to look at the little screen he was watching. Her ears pressed to her head when she saw the purple rabbit was just down the hall, staring at the camera.

"Well, that's interesting." She commented, but the man didn't react to her

The guard, at least that's what Fire assumed him to be, leaned over and turned on the hall light for a few minutes before sighing and going back to the camera. An image of the curtain area showed up, but this time there was a hook holding it open with a gold eye staring at the camera blankly. The man shivered and quickly clicked away, coming to a black screen with the sounds of clanging. The name on the monitor read 'kitchen'.

"I guess Chica's awake too," the man muttered to himself before he clicked away into the main party room. A deep laugh rang out, causing both Fire and the night guard to jump before the image flickered to show something standing in the shadows.

A sense of dread pooled in the wolf's stomach, her fur bristling up as her eyes flashed red. She quickly shook her head, "No, it's fine. I'm fine." Fire didn't quite believe that herself, but it was better than panicking.

"What the hell was that anyway?" She wondered aloud, poking her head out of the door she hadn't come through.

There was nothing down the hall, to which Fire couldn't help but sigh in relief at. She leaned back in and let out a startled bark when she turned around, seeing the rabbit peeking in through the other door. The guard caught it at the same time and slammed the reinforced door down in the animatronic's face. He fell back in his chair with a huff, trying to compose himself.

"Get it together Jared, you're doing fine. You still have fifty percent power, you can make it."

He checked the lights, still seeing a silhouette of the rabbit in the hallway. He turned back to the camera before yelping when a golden bear appeared slumped in the corner.
