The Graveyard Shift

The "New" Animatronic

Thank you @BlueFoxGirl16 for the drawing of Payne! It looks great! 

*-...Two days later...-*

You opened up your eyes. You were in an unfamiliar place. The air reeked of mold, and the entire building seemed to be on the verge of collapse. The walls were green shifted, with water dripping from the ceiling. Lightning flashed outside of the windows, lighting up the building for a few short seconds. Then, a shadow appeared on the wall. It was reminiscent of the old, tattered Bonnie animatronic in the Part's and Service room. " Hello?" You called out. " Who's there?" The shadow moved, until a yellow-green animatronic showed itself. It cocked its head at you, and let loose a chuckled. The head of the animatronic rolled off of the body, revealing Vincent's face under it. Vincent's face was contorted as if he was in pain. Slowly, your surroundings dissolved, until all that was left was darkness.

Only you can stop him...

You gasped for air, sitting up in your bed. You took in your familiar surroundings, and realized you were in your room. You sat back on your bed, slowly calming down. " It's just a nightmare..." You assured yourself. "It's just a nightmare..." You looked over at your alarm clock. " 11:46..." You mumbled under your breath. Then, you realized that you had work today. You realized that you were late. With a flash of movement, you jumped out of your bed, and quickly got dressed in your day guard uniform. You didn't even stop to eat breakfast, and shot out the door to your car. You got in, and turned the key. The engine sputtered for a bit, then finally turned over. You began the twenty-minute drive the Freddy's, fidgeting the entire time. Once you had arrived, you were about ten minutes late to work. The parking lot was only about halfway full, and it was easy to find a parking space.

You pulled into one of the empty parking spots, and got out of your car. You put your keys into your back pocket, and entered the building. Jeremy was sitting at the front desk, flipping through a book. You cleared your throat to gain his attention. He looked up at you, and smiled. " H-hey (Y/N)" He greeted. " Sorry I'm late, " You apologized, " but my alarm didn't go off. " Jeremy put a bookmark in his book, and closed it. " It's okay, Afton doesn't care that much as long as it doesn't happen again. " Jeremy said, his stutter not present. " Speaking of Afton, where is he?" You inquired. Jeremy pointed at the door to Afton's office. " In there. " He answered. You nodded your thanks, and moved in the direction of the door. " And (Y/N)?"

You turned around to look back at Jeremy. " Yeah?" Jeremy cautiously looked around, then walked up to you. " He's been acting strange lately. Agitated. I don't know why, but... just be careful. " You wondered what would make Afton upset. He was a nice guy, from what you've seen of him. " I'll keep that in mind. " You told him. Jeremy nodded, and he returned to his post. You walked over to the door to Afton's office, and knocked on the door. " Come in. " Afton said from inside. You opened the door, and sheepishly walked in. Afton turned to face you. " (Y/N)! You're late. " He said accusingly. " My alarm didn't go off, and I just-" " I don't care. " Afton interrupted. " You're here now, and that's what matters. I need you to grab some parts from the old animatronics in the Parts and Service room. I need an eyepatch, and one of Bonnie's ears. " You stood there, not wanting to go back to the Parts and Service room again. Afton didn't seem to notice you as he continued talking. " And lastly, grab Freddy's microphone. After you're done with that, you've been assigned to Kid's Cove again. Just drop off the parts back here when you're done. " Afton droned on.

You sighed, and walked over to the Parts and Service room. Once you reached the door, you hesitated. Did you really have to go back in there? Yes, You told yourself, if I want to keep this job, I have to. You opened the door, and stepped inside. You noticed that the red and white animatronic that was in here last night was gone, replaced with the slightly torn down Toy Foxy animatronic. You felt kinda bad for it, as weird as it sounds. Nobody deserved to be torn apart by the children they were built to entertain. You looked over at the Foxy animatronic leaned up against the wall. You walked over to said animatronic, and kneeled down next to it. You grabbed the eyepatch, and pulled it off of his head. You looked around for something to put in it. There was a small box on the ground next to the door, so you tossed the eyepatch in it. The eyepatch hit the side of the box, and fell to the ground.
