Intern {Five Nights at Freddy's Fanfiction}

26 ...safe.

"What?" I asked dumbly. What did he mean by 'the first person I've actually held a good conversation with in years'? I was suddenly starting to feel nervous and awkward.

"I'm just gonna be straight up with you." Mike said, adjusting his posture and rubbing his neck in apprehension.

"I've been kind of a shut in for most of my life. Every time I do make friends they get scared away because...I have an issue with my anger. I just get so frustrated...ya know?" Mike grumbled in growing agitation. To keep him from blowing up (since I knew he would) I hugged him.

"That's nothing to be ashamed about! If someone can't see past those kind of things then they shouldn't be your friend anyway!" I smiled, holding him tight. I wasn't sure why I was feeling so...affectionate towards him, but I kinda embraced the feeling anyway.

"See, this is why I can talk to you." Mike sighed flopping down onto the couch. I flushed a little when I realized I was laying on his chest (although I didn't say anything about it). "Macy or Rachel would have ignored me. Especially if I had hurt them..."

"Mike, what you did at the office was no big deal! It was the heat of the moment and you were angry because you felt I was gambling with our lives. It's understandable." I scolded, shooting him a look that would have made Bonnie proud.

"Yeah, but every time I meet someone who generally seems to care about me I...hurt them. I don't mean to do it but...I just get so angry for no reason and...they can't seem to see that." he sighed, slumping over in a depressed manner.

"Well, I can. You don't see me running away do you?" I yawned, glancing up to Mike with tired eyes. He smirked, and gave a yawn as well.

"Mmhm." he smirked, relaxing against the couch.

"For most it's pretty early, but for us it's pretty late. On a normal occasion I would sleep in my bed but since you're here...I think you should take it." He said, grogily. Although I wanted to protest I knew there wasn't a reason to. I was the guest and I wasn't about to share a bed with him anyway.

"Alright. I'll do it." I yawned again, my eyes were starting to feel pretty droopy. "Night Mike."

"Goodnight Eleanor."

"Hello there. I'm not gonna hurt you. Come on out and I promise we'll play a fun little game." A shady voice cooed from the darkness of the cellar. I wasn't exactly sure what was happening but I definitely didn't trust whoever the voice belonged to.

"Really kiddos. I mean you no harm. I just want to give you a surprise." It said again.

This time, a familliar looking girl crawled out from a small crack in the darkness. I watched in horror as a man shaped shadow touched her form and caused it to disintegrate into black ashes.

"Come little children. I'll take thee away. Into a land of enchantment. Come little children. The time's come to play. Here in my garden if shadows." The shadow sang. One after one, three other children escaped their cracks of darkness to be turned to ash by...this man.

"Ronan, I know you're here. Please come out. I promise you're friends are okay." It sounded. This time it was closer and much more clearer. Despite the fact I wasn't moving I was crying on the inside.

"Gotcha!" The voice shouted as a hand wrapped around my ankle and pulled me from my sliver of darkness. I never got a good look at the man who was handling me, and I'm not sure I wanted to anyway.

"You get to have the best one." It laughed,  slamming me into what felt like a metal wall. I watched as something was placed over my face. It was very thick, covered in a dingy fabric, and had two eye holes. I instantly recognized it as a Freddy Fazbear mask.
