FNAF: Things Are Never What They Seem (3)

Wait... What the hell just happened? Freddy knew that Mike wasn't an endoskeleton? But... How?

Gods my mind was racing about a million miles an hour. Before I could question anyone, the alarm set for 6:00 went off. I noticed that I had unintentionally wrapped my arms around Mike in fear, and I unattached myself from him. I was alive. I made it.

"Oh my gods, I made it..." I sigh. I sit up and get off the ground. Then I stare at Mike.

"What?" he asks as he gets up.

"Mind telling me what the hell that was about?"

"What do you mean?"

"Stop playing dumb, Mike! Tell me why that fucking bear knew you and didn't fucking attack after he saw you!"

"Language dear, language. This is a kids place," Mike says clearly trying to make a joke. But his smile was wiped off his face when he saw the look I was giving him.

"Okay, Bunny listen. Lets go somewhere, get a cup of coffee and something to eat and I promise you I will explain it all," he says.

I sigh, but I took him up on that offer. I nod and together we walk out of the pizzeria, leaving the creepy animatronics behind for the time being.

--------------------------------------------------------

Mike and I go to the nearest coffee joint, which happened to be Dunkin' Doughnuts. He orders a pumpkin spice latte with six glazed doughnuts while I get a hot chocolate with peppermint and a dozen chocolate filled doughnuts. We sit in a secluded corner and place our food on the table.

"Okay, explain yourself," I say before taking a bite out of a doughnut.

Mike sighs and launches into his story. "As you know, I was the night guard before you. My last night there, the boss called and told me that I have been promoted for my hard work, blah blah blah. I was happy, yes, but the rest of the night I was highly distracted. My mind was in other places.

"Incidentally enough, I wasn't paying enough attention to Foxy, and by the time I realised he was gone, he was already in the room. As you can guess, I was cought. Foxy knocked me out and when I woke up again, I was in the backstage room. All the animatronics were in there, and Freddy was grabbing the empty suit. I freaked out, I was scared.

"I actually started to cry and to beg them to let me live. Bonnie had lifted me up to put me in the suit, and I yelled, kicked, screamed, and cried. Just as he was about to stuff me into the suit, Freddy and Chica stop him. "Wait, endoskeletons don't cry... Do they?" Chica had asked.

""And they don't fix each other, right?" Freddy had asked. I didn't know what to think. I mean, I didn't know that they realized I was fixing them up through out the weeks. And I guess the hadn't realized right away, just over time they did. But anyways, Bonnie sat me down on the table and we all started talking... It was a little odd, but since that day they've recognized me as human," Mike finishes his story with a drink of his coffee.

I was silent for a moment. "So basically you turned into a big baby, and they knew you were human?" I couldn't resist. I started laughing, earning some strange looks from the other custumers. I apologize and look at Mike, a smile still on my face.

"Laugh all you want, Bunny. It was becoming a big baby that kept me alive. And me being alive is what kept you alive," he says with a smirk.

I let what he said sink in. So the animatronics could tell the difference... But why, at first, can they not? This didn't make any sense. I look up at Mike, him already watching me curiously.

"So they can tell the difference?" I ask and he nods. "But... They can't at first? Does anyone know why though?" At this, Mike shakes his head.

"It's kinda like, why do they only attack at night and not during the day? I think that the glitch in the system is more... Acts up more at night because of the lowered lighting," Mike says.

Now, that did make sense... But there's a light in the security office so that pokes a hole into his theory. Mike shakes head then.

"One would think that, yes. But that's not the case. You see, it's so dark in the rest of the building and the security office is really bright compared to the rest of it," Mike says. "And yes, you were thinking out loud."

Oops, I really need to stop doing that. I look at the time and finish off my doughnuts and coffee. "Well I gotta go, get some sleep and everything. And you gotta go set up the pizzeria."

Mike nods. We say our goodbyes after he takes me back to the pizzeria.

--------------------------------------------------------

That night when I went to bed I couldn't sleep. Everytime I closed my eyes, I kept picturing Bonnie taking off his mask, showing his endoskeleton head. Then turning around facing me with a creepy smile thing. I turned in my bed again. This was going to be a long day... I eventually manage to sleep with no nightmares.
