How am I going to find a good job? I growl and wander towards a big board, Fazbear’s pizza job wanted, I say as I pick up the flier, this could be good, w-wait 6.00pm-12.00am, that’s late I growl and stomp off, I pace towards Fazbear’s pizza, when I walk inside I trip and fall on the ground and graze my knee, OWW! I grumble and look up to see a little kid laughing, hey, why’d you do that? The kid runs off as I reach for the kids’ scrawny neck, I sigh, damn punk, I get up and look around, I notice a tall door, what’s in here? I knock on the door and hear someone come to the door, it opens and a tall man stands there, uh hello, I’m here to apply for the job I say, ah yes, come in, would you be able to work this late? Um yeah, alright you’re hired, I smile slightly, thank you I replied, when do I start? Tonight! He says and leads you to a room with lots of cameras, two doors and big foggy windows, you’ll be working here tonight and the other nights, I nod, good luck and don’t die the manager says the last part as a whisper and walks away, so I just have to survive the whole night?
Sounds too easy I say confidently and check the cameras but notice that Bonnie’s gone, oh, no, no, no, no, where is he I say and freak out, there’s a sudden noise from above, huh? The vents! I snatch a torch and glare at the vents and after moments there’s a purple figure staring down at me sending frostbite down my spine, I fiercely flash the torch into Bonnie’s face blinding his eyes. Bonnie scrambles away, phew I say wiping my sweaty forehead, I slump down onto my chair and check the cameras, 8.41pm, I said while leaping off my seat, I look down the hallway, Freddy’s coming, I say and slam the door shut, I bolt to the other door and force it shut, Chica appears at the window, AHH! I scream and fall towards the other window and Freddy’s face searches the room through the misted window, I curl myself into a ball and stay silent, when Chica and Freddy leave I check the time, 11.34pm, I huff and dust myself off, I open both doors and check the cameras, everyone is working except the one in pirates cove, why isn’t this camera working?
I say worried but angered, I hear a sudden noise echo and vibrate through the room, spin around and get grabbed by my right shoulder and then my left, I struggle and look up only to meet glowing golden and purple orbs, Foxy and Bonnie drag me towards the door, when their half way through I slam the close button and the door shuts leaving their arms stuck, I dash out the other door and Chica’s in the hallway, I sprint the other way but Freddy’s their so I decide to go down the hallway where Chica is, she strikes but I dodge and ram her into the wall, I continue down the hallway and make my way to the main entrance, I use all my strength and but through, when I’m outside I gasp for air and stumble onto the ground but I only just realise there are four more nights!
