Five Night's of Peril

Night Three

Deathly quiet. Everything was deathly quiet.

Their bodies disappeared into thin air, going somewhere they don't know. Their souls went somewhere they didn't know.

They all huddled together in the office, sitting in a deathly quiet silence other than the sound of the fan and airways blowing through the vents. Hoseok held onto Jisoo as she silently cried into his chest. Chaeah hugged Jungkook who pressed kisses to the top of her head in hopes to calm her down.

"I am not going back there," Jisoo shakes her head. "It's too dangerous. W-We lost five of our friends already...they're dead! Doesn't that mean anything to you all?!"

No one commented.

Jisoo sighed as Hoseok rubbed her back comfortingly.

"We will all die anyway if we don't do anything," Jackson said which caused Skye to sigh and kick his feet around a bit. Yoonji noticed how weird he was acting about all of this.

"He is right. If we avoid them completely there is a chance none of us will make it out," Jungkook added in, "It's better...a few than all of us."

"How could you say that?!" Jisoo stands up suddenly. "They were our friends! My BEST friends! YOUR BEST FRIENDS!! They didn't just die here—they suffered! And it's because we played this stupid game!"

"Baby—"

"No!" Jisoo pulled her arm away from Hoseok who looked at her with worry.

"You think I want to die here? I haven't lived my life yet! Our friends didn't either but now they are g-gone!" She cried out. "Does that mean ANYTHING to you guys?!"

"I-It does..." Jin admits quietly. "It does and I don't want to play this game anymore but we have to, Jisoo."

"He's right," Jackson said and Jungkook nodded in agreement. "If we want to beat this game and leave this place, then we have to play by its rules. Regardless if we are heartbroken or not," he added.

The clock struck 1, meaning it was time for the animatronics to start moving. It was finally night three; halfway.

"Yoonji, Taehyung, you're in charge of the toy animatronics," Jungkook instructed. "Namjoon, Jin, you will be watching Mangle."

"And us?" Skye asked.

"You will both be watching the Withered animatronics. After you took down Chica, I would say that's the best thing for you to do. You can take over for Jordan while he's resting," Jungkook said.

Skye could only nod and made his way over to where Jordan was still lying between two chairs. He crouched down onto one knee, and Jordan opened his eyes to look his way.

"Are you going to be alright?" Skye asked, holding up his hand. Jordan took it into his own after a small handshake and showed a weakened grin. Skye could only smile back at that, and that was enough.

Jungkook's head then turned to Hoseok and Jisoo, "You will be watching The Puppet and Balloon Boy."

"C-Can we stay here...? Please..." Jisoo whispered and Jungkook sighed. "Fine, you can step in for Song and Jin hyung."

Jisoo sighed and Hoseok held her closer again, pressing kisses to her head while whispering soft things to comfort her.

Jungkook glanced at Chaeah who was silently staring down at the ground. He grabbed her hand and squeezed it, causing a little smile to appear on her face. He knew how she got in these sorts of situations, especially since her anxiety sometimes got the best of her.

The groups dispersed, going to their places in The Show Stage, or in Kid's Cove. Aside from Jordan, who stayed put inside of the office.

Namjoon and Jin were almost silent as they crouched by The Stage, watching with wandering eyes. Namjoon could only glance over to the corner and think about Solbi, while Jin could only stare at Chica.
