Shorty #9: Fazzbear's (A Five Nights Halloween Special)

First scary writing, here we go!

You took this job because you lived with your mother and you had no girlfriend, so why not. You saw in the paper that morning as you sat down sipping your coffee, that Freddy Fazzbear's Pizzeria had an opening for the night guard. It paid well for a week's night of sitting in an office, so you went for it. 

On Monday morning, you went in to check out the place and it was full of little kids. It reminded you of Chucky Cheese (which was probably running them out of business), nevertheless, it still was packed. On the stage in the far back of the place, stood singing animals that the children seemed to be singing along with. You walk in further standing towards the bathrooms when the bear, clicked and clanked to look over at you.

"Hi, there kids! I'm Freddy Fazzbear! Who's ready to sing some songs?" The children all cheered as the trio began to sing pointless songs. The way that the large duck was looking at you gave you the creeps and you walk out.

~~~

That night, you go in -at about 12am- and you look through the window of the building. It was really dark. You double take because you thought you saw movement up on the stage. Dim lights shone over the  stage and one flickered in the hallway. You sigh nervously, as you unlock the door.

~~~

Upon getting settled in the small office, you see a poster of the stage animatronics and a fan ran warm air into the small room. It was eerily quiet and you jump just as a phone rings twice. It answers itself and you hear some sketchy instructions.

"Hello? Hello! Uh, I wanted to record a message for you to help you get settled in on your first night. Um, I actually worked in that office before you. I'm finishing up my last week now, as a matter of fact. So, I know it can be a bit overwhelming, but I'm here to tell you there's nothing to worry about. Uh, you'll do fine. So, let's just focus on getting you through your first week. Okay?"

You sit back in your chair and you examine the poster. The bear was Freddy, the purple bunny was Bonnie and, the large duck was Chica. You look over to your left and you see a camera. You look, and you see the stage of animals. You jump and put it down quickly.

"Uh, let's see, first there's an introductory greeting from the company that I'm supposed to read. Uh, it's kind of a legal thing, you know. Um, 'Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. A magical place for kids and grown-ups alike, where fantasy and fun come to life. Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or person. Upon discovering that damage or death have occurred, a missing person report will be filed within 90 days, or as soon property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached, and the carpets have been replaced.'"

You look around you in horror. Damage or death? Missing person report. What the heck happened here?

"Blah blah blah, now that might sound bad, I know, but there's really nothing to worry about. Uh, the animatronic characters here do get a bit quirky at night, but do I blame them? No. If I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for twenty years and I never got a bath? I'd probably be a bit irritable at night too. So, remember, these characters hold a special place in the hearts of children and we need to show them a little respect, right? Okay."

You ease up a little bit, and sit back in you chair.

"So, just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit. Uh, they're left in some kind of free roaming mode at night. Uh... Something about their servos locking up if they get turned off for too long. Uh, they used to be allowed to walk around during the day, too. But then there was The Bite of '87. Yeah. I-It's amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe, you know?"

You touch your forehead and gasp in horror. How can you live without sight, touch, smell, and movement. The person HAD to be dead.

"Uh, now concerning your safety, the only real risk to you as a night watchmen here, if any, is the fact that these characters, uh, if they happen to see you after hours probably won't recognize you as a person. They'll p-most likely see you as a metal endoskeleton without its costume on."

You imagine one of the animatronics waltzing into your tiny office and scanning you with laser eyes.

"Now since that's against the rules here at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, they'll probably try to... forcefully stuff you inside a Freddy Fazbear suit. Um, now, that wouldn't be so bad if the suits themselves weren't filled with crossbeams, wires, and animatronic devices - especially around the facial area. So, you could imagine how having your head forcefully pressed inside one of those could cause a bit of discomfort... and death. Uh, the only parts of you that would likely see the light of day again would be your eyeballs and teeth when they pop out the front of the mask, heh."

Your breathing picks up and you believe that you might pass out. How could they have not told you about this when you applied! But then again, they  did ask if you had: asthma, pregnant, back problems, heart problems, seizes, or any other problems.

"Y-Yeah, they don't tell you these things when you sign up. But hey, first day should be a breeze. I'll chat with you tomorrow. Uh, check those cameras, and remember to close the doors only if absolutely necessary. Gotta conserve power. Alright, good night"

 You shake your head as you try and wrap your head around what you got yourself into. You glanced at the camera again and Bonnie had moved. Your heart jumps and you frantically look at the other cameras and find her in the dinning hall staring in the camera. 

You shake your head nervously and you listen really hard. Small mechanical movements sounded down the hallways. You check the power on the corner of the camera and it read '89%'. You had to conserve or else you were gonna die...alone.

You check the cameras again and Chica was gone now. I sigh and check the hallway. Bonnie's figure was flickering against the checkered floor. You the bathrooms and a large yellow face appeared; making you shriek in you seat. You examine the face closer, and her mouth had a double set of teeth. The second pair probably from the endoskeleton. They were sharp and they seemed to have red stains on them. Her purple eyes were not all the way fitted in the mask and it looked like she had black rings around them.

You check the power again, 62%, and it was only 1 am. You weren't doing so well on your first night. You checked the cameras and closed the doors, completely dissing the welcome message.

You hear clanking down the hallway and you flick the lights and see a creepy shadow out front. 57%. You scream and shake in your seat, but remembered how much you could get paid. 54%. There are scratching sounds at the door, and you hear faint music playing in the background. It sounded like slow, eerie, elevator music. 46%, 2 AM. The first night is going by so slowly, and you finally decide to open the doors, but at your own expense.

Chica looks at you with her beady purple eyes and jumps right into the room with a hungry look in her eye. You cry for help, but the others come in, and begin to hold you down. The giant bear come in with a mask just like his, but it was golden. You try and get away, but the animatronics are too strong, and their wired hands dig into to your -now bleeding- skin.

Freddy brings the mask other you head, and you feel loose wires dangle over your skin. As he smashes the mask over you, the others begin shoving wires, and cables into your skin, and Freddy shoved wires down you throat. As you choke and swallow blood, your eyes are being squeezed nearly out of their sockets and they pop through the mask.

You look over, nearly dead, at the laughing animatronics. Bonnie was doubled over, and when she sat up, she cried blood from laughing so much.

Then you die.
