FNAF: Things Are Never What They Seem (8)

I sit at Dunkin Doughnuts, absentmindedly stirring my coffee while I wait for Mike. It shouldn't be taking him this long, I mean I took his car to my place just in case he wanted to leave or something. He's ten minutes late and I only grow more impatient.

Just as I was about to get up and leave, Mike walked through the door looking as if he just rolled out of bed. Which, given his state last night, could very well be the case. He spots me and walks over, offering a wave to the cashier.

"Hey, what's up?" Mike asks as he sits down.

"How much do you know about the old location?" I ask, jumping straight to the point.

Mike looks startled by my sudden question, but shakes it off quickly. "Not a lot, honestly. Why do you ask?"

"I want to know as much as you do. There's something this pizzeria is hiding, and I want to get to the bottom of it."

Mike sighs. "It's a very long, complicated story. You sure you wanna hear it?"

Bunny nods. "Everything you know."

---TIME SKIP BECAUSE IM TOO LAZY TO WRITE THE WHOLE STORY---

Mike sits back in his chair. "And that's everything I know about it..."

I was shocked. "Did they find out who the killer was?"

"They caught him, yes. But they never found the bodies."

I leaned forward and lowered my voice. "Do you think the bodies could be in the empty costumes in the back?"

The thought really made me worry. What if the bodies had been stuffed into the suits and that's why they hadn't been found... It was a morbid thought... But there was a chance.

Mike shakes his head. "No way. The costumes have all been checked. Weekly in fact... People have spread rumors that the bodies were stuffed into the animatronics themselves... But there's a slight problem with that 'theory'... There's only four animatronics but five children were murdered... Unless the fifth child was left at the very first building," Mike muses quietly.

I sat there and thought for a moment. "What were the animatronics at the first building?" I ask.

"Uhhh... Well you got Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy... Then there was a little boy who handed out balloons at the front and a puppet in prize corner I think is what it's called... Why?"

"Because, what if one of those animatronics are actually here in this building... But we just don't know it?"

Mike stares at me for a second, as if contemplating something. Then he let's out a bark of a laugh. "Oh come on Bunny! Everyone knows that everything was left in that old building and the building was burnt down by a fire. What could possibly be left?"

"I don't know," I say, slightly pissed off. "But think about it Mike. Is there anything in this building that seems out of place?"

Mike just shrugs and glances at the clock. It was going on eight. "Look, you go home, get some rest, and I'll take your shift tonight since you took mine. Then tomorrow we can talk about it all, okay?" Mike suggests, getting up.

I sigh but agree anyways. "Yeah, sure whatever. Night." And with that I leave the building and get into my car, start it up and drive home.

11:57 PM

I walk into the doors of the pizzeria, welcomed by the smell of bad pizza and mildew. What Bunny said about there being a stowaway animatronic and shaken me. Just being in the building made me think there was an unwanted presence.

I make my to the office and settle down in the chair. In just a few short minutes, the animatronics will be alive and roaming around. And I gotta make sure that they don't get themselves in any trouble.

I don't know what went wrong, but at three the sound of a lullaby started playing. Then everything goes black, except for the tablet displaying the cameras. The sounds of heavy footsteps come from the hallway as the music still plays.

In the shadows, I make out the figure of Bonnie in the left doorway. Bonnie walks towards me and grabs me out of my chair by my shirt.

"B- Bonnie, what are you doing?! It's me, Mike. Your friend, remember??"

Bonnie's eyes were flickering between his normal animatronic eyes and pitch black eyes with a white dot in the center. "Mike…?"

I nod frantically. "It's me Bonnie! It's just me..."

Bonnie's was about to say something but then he twitched and he's eyes reverted back to white pinpricks. He stares into my eyes and an evil laugh fills the small office.

With an eerily human voice Bonnie speaks again. "Ah, my dear Mikey. Long time since you've been here all alone. But, unfortunately Bonnie is not the one pulling the strings... I AM!"

Bonnie's other hand latches on to my throat, cutting off my airway. I claw at his giant hand, struggling to break free. "Bonnie... Please... Don't do... This…" I manage to say. My vision grew fuzzy, and the last thing I heard before I passed out was then end of a long forgotten lullaby.
