Five Nights Of Academia book 1

NIGHT THREE

3rd POV.

Before said night it was always the same routine, the group would wake up, have some food, get ready, and be transported to the office.  But tonight something was a little different about our main character Deku.

Deku's POV.

Darkness, that's all i can see....I seemed to be in a different room than the others, it looked like a dining room with lights and party decorations put up everywhere. I walked around the room, coming upon a stage with us on it, I quickly turn my head to a noise coming from the back room and head towards it. I wasn't prepared for what i saw inside....

I walked in and saw a figure standing with its back to me, I finally came to the realization that it was Overhaul. He was standing over something...I pushed pass him but it was like he couldn't even see me, my face paled as i saw what he was looking at.....corpses...of me and the others. We seemed to be children, I felt like i was going to be sick. I backed away in horror as my vision faded to black and I shot up, sweating. Uraraka looked at me concerned "Deku! are you okay!? your sweating a ton!" she said worriedly. I nodded and looked down with a thoughtful look, was that dream telling me something about the dark lore of this place? I shook my head and decided to just decipher it later. It was almost time for us to go through the third night.

Finally it was time for us to leave and we were transported back into that same office, with the same phone ringing. I sighed and picked up again as everyone got prepared.

"Hello Hello? Hey your doing great! uh most people don't last this long, I mean y'know they usually move on to other things by now. Uh, i'm not implying that they died t-that's not what i meant. Uh anyway I better not take up too much of your time, things start getting real tonight."

I looked to everyone with a determined look. Everything was going to start getting worse tonight, the others looked back at me with the same expression and went to work. We decided to switch it up a bit tonight, me and Kacchan on doors with Uraraka and Iida on camera's/power watch. I looked back to the phone as the man continued.

"Um, h-hey listen I had an idea, if you end up getting caught and want to avoid getting stuffed into a deku suit uh. Try playing dead! Y'know, go limp, then maybe there's a chance that they'll think your an empty costume instead! Then again if they think your an empty costume they might try to, stuff a metal skeleton into you...I wonder how that would work."

I shuddered at that sentence, if we got caught we would end up dying either way...I don't even want to think about how that would work. The message began to finish.

"Yeah never mind scratch that, it's best just not to get caught. O-Okay ill leave you too it! See you on the flip side!"

The call ended as Kacchan growled "so basically we die either way!? we can't get caught is what he meant by that." He said as we nodded, he had a point. I was honestly shocked that Kacchan hadn't gotten into a fight with anyone since this started, He's being serious and trying to protect all of us. I decided to leave the office and look for the room I saw in my dream, Leaving Uraraka to watch my door. I wandered around dodging animatronics as I made my way to that room, finally spotting it to be the back room AKA parts and service.

I looked behind me, making sure there were no animaronics before i made my way inside. Looking around the dark room with a flashlight as the vision from my nightmare flashed through my mind. This was the room......the room that we as children had been murdered in....My gut churned, a painful feeling in my heart for these robots. They're not just robots....They're lost souls....I sighed and made my way back to the office, quickly dodging Iida and running back in. Me and Iida quickly went to our spots and got to work, Uraraka suddenly dropped the camera making us look to her and then the camera on the floor. I immediately noticed it, I was off the stage. Laughter echoed through the hall as the camera showed the restrooms, me peeking around the corner. Our power was at 34% and it was 4 am, I prayed we would make it two more hours.

For the next hour it was hell, Iida and Uraraka constantly strolling by, Kacchan coming out of the cove occasionally, but the worse part was me. It was kinda easy to keep tabs on me, for when my robot would move there would be a deep laugh. I decided to tell the others of my dream while we worked. "Guys...can we talk about something?" I asked, they all nodded. I sighed deeply while looking at the door.

"It's just....I had this dream last night, I was in the dining room and we were all on stage. I heard noise coming from the back room and went to see what it was but....I regretted it.." I choked out, Iida told me to take a minute to calm down before continuing. After a few minutes i was able to continue speaking. "Well.....In that back room was Overhaul...and our child corpses...I watched as he stood over them covered in blood, bright bloody knife in his hand....What i'm trying to say is....maybe there's a way to fix this! They aren't killer robots! The spirit's in them are us!" I tell them. They all agreed, if it's our spirits then there's gotta be a way to fix this and free them, we decided to worry about it later and focus on the main problem.

Finally it was 6 AM and we could rest. Once we got back to the sleeping room we started to conspire a plan on how to free these spirits.
