All I Ever Wanted Was A Friend

The Mysterious Man

I threw my arms around the girl and turned her away from him . She screamed and punched me in the nose. I stumbled back, holding my nose. Like I said, I could feel anything anyone else could; pain, fear, anger, sadness, anything. I sat against the wall and took my hand from my nose. It was bleeding. I put my hands back over my nose to stop the bleeding. She rushed to me. "I'm sorry! You just scared me!" She apologized. I nodded and held my hand up to stop her from getting closer. "I'll be fine," I said. She sat next to me away from the window and looked at my body.
"Are you an animatronic or a living being?" She asked.
"Both I guess. This body has both metal and living tissue," I replied.
"Do you have a name?"
"Just call me Foxy."
"Why aren't you like the other animatronics?"
"I don't know. During the say they're happy, but at night, all this happens. Even my looks change."
"How did this happen to you?"
I explained to her that we were killed in a robbery.
"We're you the only one that tried to stop the guy?"
"Yeah, but befor I could get the gun from him, I was shot three times in the chest and stomach."
"I'm sorry to hear that."
"It's alright. The only thing missing now is a friend."
"You mean you're not friend ps with any of the other animatronics?"
"Yeah. I used to be, but now... I don't know. Something happened to them when we died. They're just different now."
"Hey, ya know... I could be your friend, if you want."
I turned to her and hugged her, "I would like that."

I slowly stood up and looked out the glass window. They were gone. I sat down at the computer monitor and checked the cameras. "How do you know how to work the cameras?" The girl asked. "I used to work here... a while ago," I replied, "By the way, you never told me your name." The girl stood up and walked beside me. "My name's Sapphire," she answered. "My real name's Chris," I explained. I clicked through the different camera views but I couldn't find anyone. "That's strange," I said, "They're not here." Sapphire gave me a worried look. "What do you mean?" She asked nervously. "I can't find them. But don't worry, I'm sure you'll be alright," I said comfortingly. "Is it alright with you if I listen to the rest of the recordings?" Sapphire asked. I nodded, "I don't mind." I knew the tapes would probably have some false information about everyone, but I didn't expect it to be as exaggerated as it was.

Sapphire pressed the play button on the recorder and for a few seconds there was only static, then the same voice as before said, "About what I said earlier, about not letting any of them in, if you already have, and they're with you now, find a way to get out of there. I don't think they can hear too well. Maybe you can use that to your advantage. Also, be really careful with the fox. He tends to become friendly with you, ya know, get your name, get you to trust him... Then he kills you right there. I hope you make it!" Sapphire looked at me in surprise, but I was just as shocked as she was. Why would someone say that? Especially if it's not true?

Sapphire slowly backed up into the corner. "Please... Please don't hurt me," she begged in fear. I stood up and slowly walked over to her. She began to shake and tremble. I carefully walked to her side and sat down. I put my hand on her shoulder, "I'm not going to hurt you." All of the sudden, the lights went out. Saphire let out a scream of terror as the doors metal doors flew open due to the lack of power. She turned to me and saw my soft, glowing eyes. I could barely see in the dark, but I could tell she was crying. I heard Freddy's theme begin to play. It slowly got closer, and closer, and closer.

I pulled Sapphire against me and shielded her with my body. I heard Freddy walk over to us. "Don't do this. Please. Not her. She's my only friend," I begged, a tear forming in my eye. "That's just too bad," Freddy replied angrily. "Stay back!" I yelled, but it was no use, Freddy was still walking slowly towards us. He extended a hand to pull me away, but I held in to Sapphire. He struggled to pull me off of her, but I wasn't going anywhere.

I heard fast foot steps coming from the left hallway, the one closest to us. Freddy quickly turned to see what it was. Without warning, he fell over onto the cold floor. In his place stood a dark figure, staring at Freddy. "Who are you?!" Freddy demanded. "I don't tell people that kill innocent people my name," the figure replied in a soft, deep voice. He turned to me and Sapphire. He extended his hand. I grabbed it and he pulled me up. I turned around and helped Sapphire to her feet. "Are you alright?" I asked her quietly. She didn't respond. I guessed she was still a little confused. "Are you really willing to sacrifice yourself for one girl?" Freddy asked the figure. "If it came to that, yes, but you're no threat to me," he replied. His words surprised me. Did he even know who he was dealing with?

Freddy stood up and faced the figure. Bonnie and Chica appeared behind Freddy for back up. Freddy lunged at the figure straight on, but the figure seemed to disappear. Freddy fell to the floor and quickly stood up. I didn't see the figure in the room anymore. Maybe he was hiding in the shadows. Freddy looked around, but he didn't see the figure either. He turned back to me and Sapphire, then smiled. "No one's here to save you now," he said happily. At that point I had lost all hope.

He began to walk slowly towards us, Bonnie and Chica right behind him. I was still in front of Sapphire. At least I would die first so I wouldn't have to watch them torture her. I could feel Freddy put his cold hand on my shoulder. I remembered what seemed like so long ago, when the four of us were all friends. Bonnie, or Bradly, would always make us laugh. Chica, or Molly, was always reading, but she never did care for school. Freddy, or Jason, was my best friend. He would always skip school. I guess that's why I looked up to him. And me. I usually would sing to the others or comfort them if they were having a bad day. But all that was gone now, and I knew I could never get that back.

Freddy's hand began to dig into my shoulder and rip into me. I knew I wouldn't last long, not after what I'd seen him do to the others he captured. I let out a sigh of defeat. Then, out of the darkness, two more glowing eyes appeared, but instead of the soft, yellowish white glow our eyes were, these eyes were a bright blue. "I thought you got the message the first time," a voice said. It was the voice of the figure from earlier. Why didn't I see his eyes before? I guess that didn't matter to me at the time, because I could only think of one thing. We were saved.

The eyes moved slowly towards Freddy and the others. "Where did you come from?" Bonnie asked angrily. He didn't answer. He walked right past Bonnie and Chica and straight at Freddy. Bonnie and Chica grabbed the figure by his shoulders. The figure stopped and turned his head. Bonnie and Chica suddenly went flying backwards. This shocked me more then anything had that day. How did he do it? I didn't care. He turned back around and face Freddy. I noticed that Freddy was shaking in fear. "Do I even need to say anything?" the figure asked. Without hesitation, Freddy dragged Bonnie and Chica out of the room and back to the stage.

The doors suddenly slammed shut and the figure slowly walked towards us. His eyes began to grow dimmer, and dimmer, until I couldn't see them anymore.
"Are you two alright?" he asked.
"W-Who are you?" Sapphire asked.
"Oh. Don't worry about that right now. You'll know later," he replied. His voice had changed from a serious, deep tone to a kind, gentle, happy tone.
"What are you?"
"Like I said; you'll know later."
"Can we at least know your name?"
"Some other time. We'll meet again soon."
"When?"
"We'll probably tomorrow. I'm thinking about coming in and eating. It's been a while since I are pizza."
"How will we know it's you?"
"Simple; I'll be the only one with spikes on my chest and hands."
"What? Well okay."

The figure disappeared and when he did, the power came on, along with the lights. I looked at the power monitor. It read 200%. I shrugged and didn't question it. The only thing I did question was who that man was. "Don't worry Chris, we'll find out tomorrow," Sapphire said, almost reading my mind.
