A Battle's End, A Night's Sleep

"Nobody move." 

Everyone froze to look at Stewart. Sarah could feel his breath on the back of her neck, making the hairs stand up. Foxy saw Sarah the instant he looked, but he didn't move, not with a blade so close to killing her. 

"If you value this girl's life, release my friends and back away." There was warning in Stewart's voice, and the animatronics and Brandon did as they were told, although most of them only had to move back. As they moved, there was venom in their eyes. They could've one. They just needed to outsmart Stewart. If only he could lower his guard for just a few seconds.

The men slowly walked to behind Stewart, Gary and Dave supported by the others. They looked at the animatronics, the fight gone from their eyes, replaced with pain and regret. They now knew it had been a bad idea to come here. They smiled weakly though when they saw how helpless the others were now. They knew they had the upper hand. Tears rolled down Sarah's eyes as she looked at her friends. She felt so helpless. Why did she ever decide to work here. Perhaps she should've just died. Let them kill her on the first night. It would've made their lives so much easier.

"Let Sarah go!" Bonnie's voice was stern. He had the most control. The others we're just itching to kill these men. Sarah was the only thing between them, and a half a dozen dead people. 

"And why would I do that? So you can continue killing these injured, useless fools? I don't think so." 

"We'll, what are you gonna do now? I don't even know why you came." 

"We came because you beat up Gary here. We don't like that, so now it's time for a little payback. You'll get to see just how helpless you are in the closet. Each of us gets two minutes with each of you. You can all listen to the screams of the your friends. Now come on be good little children and play along." Sarah guessed that he was just mocking them, but that term was a little to close for the animatronics. Freddy grinded his teeth and looked at Stewart with such hatred that if looks could kill, he'd be dead where he stood.

First was Bonnie. He screamed for twelve minutes straight before coming out again. Stewart took over for Dave. Then it was Freddy's followed by Chica then Foxy. Brandon was next and he looked terrified. He had no idea what was going on. Sarah felt bad for him. He had just come to see If he should come here and he was in a fight that's wasn't his. Lastly, it's was Sarah's turn. Stewart pushed her inside and she went straight to the wall we're she had been last time. He pointed to the ground and she sat, although unlike Bonnie, he didn't join her. 

"Guess what, after you, we still have heaps of time till the store opens. Everyone's gonna get round two. How does that sound, eh? Wouldn't you like round two." He smiled at Sarah. 

"Although, you could put your friend she out of a lot of pain if you took after them. It's only an hour and 15 minutes of pain. Can't be that bad. Deal." Sarah nodded vigorously. 

"Well then, just give me a sec to tell the boys and we'll get started." He poked his head out the door to speak and Sarah's heard Foxy scream. She prayed he would understand.

The hour and 15 minutes dragged by. It never seemed to end. It was horrid. Sarah tried to occupy herself with thinking about what to tell her mum about why she was late, but it was impossible think with all the pain that she was feeling. As the time passed, every bad thought Sarah had had these past four nights swarmed her head. She wanted them to kill her. Surely it would be better than this. Finally it was over. Warm relief washed over her body when Gary finally walked out of the room. She could hear the others, distant noises in the he background. Her voice was hoarse so she didn't say anything when Foxy walked in the room. She didn't even register he was there until he'd picked her up in his arms and carried her to Brandon's car. She didn't remember anything that had happened until she heard the car door open and voices talking as they'd climbed in. Brandon's was driving and Foxy was in the passenger seats. Sarah lay in the back. When they'd started the car she nearly fell of the seat as it drove over a bump. They pulled over and Foxy hopped in the back, resting Sarah's head his lap.

She was vaguely aware of being carried inside before Brandon drove off to park his car in his driveway and go inside to bed. She heard voices above her as she was set on a warm surface before closing her eyes, drifting off to sleep.
