//------------------------------// // Chaptrer 2: The Nightmare Begins // Story: 8 Nightmares In Purgatory // by FandomPlays1234 //------------------------------// Freddy's Funland Amusement Park: Front Gates Nitro waited patiently for the new night guard to arrive. He checked the watch on his right hoof. It read 11:50. "Maybe I'm too early?' he asked himself. Nitro had started thinking of heading home, but of course Mech's voice played in his head every time. "You are to wait at the main gates for the guard to arrive," Mech had said. "Heh Mech never did change did he?" chuckled Nitro. His thoughts were interrupted when a mare wearing a night guard uniform approached him. "Sorry did I make you wait?" asked the pony. "No just in ti-" but Nitro's statement was cut off when he saw the mare. "Wait aren't you?" asked Nitro. Th mare stared at him in confusion. "Aren't you the mare from earlier?" asked Nitro. "Yes I think?" said the mare. "You look familiar too," she said. "Your the mare who asked me for help," replied Nitro. "Oh right," said the mare blushing. "I'm Nitro, Nitro Robotic Buildup," said Nitro holding out his hoof. "Mi Amore Cadenza aka Cadence," said the mare shaking his hoof. "I'm glad you could make it," said Nitro. He turned around and announced, "Well this is it Freddy's Funland," 'Looks big," replied Cadence. "Oh just wait till you see inside," said Nitro reaching into his bag. "Here are keys you should already know how things work since Mr. Gears should've explained everything," said Nitro handing Cadence the keys. "Of course," said Cadence. "Well then be careful good luck and remember to smile at all times," said Nitro letting Cadence in. "Thanks I guess I'll see you at 6 AM," said Cadence. "Right," said Nitro. He waved Cadence goodbye then turned around and walked off into the night. Cadence let out a sigh and walked into the park eventually coming out from underneath a giant clock tower and into what seemed to be the plaza of the park. "Wows," said Cadence in amazement. Night 1 The entire park had been modeled in a way that it surrounded the plaza in a circular fashion. Across from where Cadence was standing, there were 5 gates with giant signs at the top leading to the different attractions in the park. Cadence took out her flashlight and shined the lights on the signs. Starting on the left was a gate with a yellow tint and a sign that read Fredbear's Funtime Festivities. The next gate was different. It had no colors in particular and had spikes protruding from the bars with a sign above that read Nightmare Nations. The gate in the middle looked like it was made of plastic and had many different light colors on it with a sign that read Toy Time Land. The second to last gate had gates like the one in the front of the park with a sign above that read Fazbear and Friends. The last gate was had a dark green and black tint with a sign above that read Spring Scares. "So these are the attractions huh it'd be too much work to visit all of them in one night so I'll do one for each night," said Cadence. She looked at the different attractions and made her final decision on Fredbear's Funtime Festivities to start things off easy. Cadence walked over to the yellow gate while fiddling with her keys. "Aha here it is!" exclaimed Cadence. This key was pretty easy to find due to the bright yellow tint. Cadence inserted the key into the socket, turned and opened the gate to Fredbear's Funtime Festivities. When the gates opened, Cadence was greeted by a gust of howling wind. "Alright let's do this," Cadence replied with confidence. Then, as soon as she took one step, a strong terrifying sensation shot through her body. "What?" Cadence, who had been confident up till this point suddenly couldn't stop trembling in fear. What was it? This Feeling, she was sure she had felt this before, but this time around it was definitely not good. Somewhere in the park a voice chuckled, "Heh," Somepony was watching her but she didn't know who. However the strong sensation of the eyes of somepony drilling into her back seemed to grow more terrifying by the moment. Cadence closed her eyes and turned around shining the light behind her. "Who's there?" "Is somepony there?" Nothing but silent. Cadence shined the light around the park to see if check if she was alone. Sure enough her light caught not sign of life except the plants near the entrance. Cadence let out a sigh of relief and lowered the flashlight. "Heh who am I kidding there is no way that somepony could get into the park when it's heavily locked," She turned back around and said, "I've got a job to do I need to focus," Recollecting her courage she started down the path to the first attraction. She knew little about the mysterious figure hiding behind the plaza's fountain. Freddy's Funland Amusement Park: Fredbear's Funtime Festivities When Cadence arrived at the attraction she was expecting rides like a Ferris Wheel and Roller Coasters. She, however, wasn't expecting it to be indoors. "This must be one of those indoor attractions," said Cadence. Unlocking the doors and walking in, Cadence noticed that other than the entrance counters there was a roller skating rink to the left of the building, an arcade to the right, and a show stage across from where she was standing. Cadence walked over to the skating rink and shined the light on a sign that read Spring Bonnie's Skating Rink. "Hmm skating huh probably should invite the family here to skate when the park opens," said Cadence. She walked across the room to the arcade and shined the light on the sign. "Fredbear Fun N' Games sounds like something Spike might like," said Cadence thinking about Spike. Walking in, Cadence noticed that the machines were on for some reason. "Strange didn't Gears say that all technology in the park was supposed to be off?" Cadence, wanting to shrug it off, couldn't stop thinking about why the machines were on as she went from machine to machine shutting them off. A voice spoke up, "Hey there buddy," Cadence turned around shining the light panicked. "Who's there?" But there was nothing but silence. "Dear Celestia I really need to stop scaring myself," said Cadence wiping her forehead. She walked out of the arcade on guard in case something decided to jump out at her. Nothing. Finally it was time to check on the main attraction, the animatronics. Cadence shined the light on the stage where a yellow bear and bunny was stationed, Fredbear and Spring Bonnie. Cadence checked her watch. 3:20 AM. Sighing she walked up on stage inspecting the animatronics. "Fredbear and Spring Bonnie the very first animatronics to be created," whispered Cadence. The two animatronics were unresponsive but seemed like they could come to life any moment. Cadence stepped down from the stage and noticed the doors were shut. "Weird I don't remember closing those doors," Cadence walked over to the doors and fiddled with them. "What since when did I lock the doors?" "You didn't," a voice spoke up behind her. Freaked out she flashed the light behind her and noticed a black silhouette of a figure on stage next to Fredbear. Screaming Cadence dropped the flashlight on the ground and scrambled to grab it. Quickly getting up she shined the light at the stage again and noticed that the figure was gone. "Oh buck," Cadence cursed. She shined the light around the building only to hear a crash coming from the skate lockers. She ran to the lockers and noticed a ton of skates strewn across the floor. "Double buck," Cadence cursed again. Meanwhile on the stage the figure in black hit Fredbear on the back causing him to power to life. The sound of a loud bang made Cadence jump and run out of the skate lockers. Unfortunately one of her legs hit a chair leg nearby causing her to fall. Cadence scrambled to her feet and shined the light only to find Fredbear not beside his companion. Cadence's eyes widened as she cursed for the third time, "Triple Buck," A voice spoke up behind her, "You better watch your mouth miss," followed by a giggle. "I swear to Celestia whoever is doing this you'll be sorry," said Cadence. "Oh we will?" said another voice coming from the stage. Cadence flashed the light to find Spring Bonnie missing too. "This is a whole lot of nopes," said Cadence now absolutely terrified. The first voice spoke up, "Sounds like she's boned," Cadence looked behind her to find a figure retreating behind the entrance counter. Cadence yelped and dropped her flashlight. "Oh not again," As Cadence felt for her flashlight, somepony picked it up and handed it to her. "Oh sweet Celestia thank you," "No problem," replied the second voice At this point Cadence froze and looked up to find Fredbear staring down at her with a big grin on his face. "Hi there buddy," said Fredbear. Just as Cadence was scooting back Spring Bonnie emerges from the darkness and stands behind her. "So Fredbear how are we going to do this?" Spring Bonnie asked. Cadence terrified asks, "Do what?" "It's easy just like this," says Fredbear as he wraps his arms around Cadence's stomach and picks her up "Well done you two," said another voice. "Who's there?" Cadence calls out. Suddenly from the darkness a withered black animatronic wearing a yellow bow tie and top hat emerges and stares directly into Cadence's eyes. "Wh, who are you?" asks Cadence. The animatronic glares at the Princess with it's red eyes and says, "Your worst Nightmare," Spring Bonnie walks up to the animatronic and asks, "So what are we going to do with her?" "Isn't it obvious make her pay of course," says the animatronic. "Pay, pay for what, what did I do?" asks Cadence. The animatronic scoffs and says, "Hmph you ask too many questions," Cadence didn't understand what he meant, but when he said he was going to make her pay she felt like he wasn't talking about anything good. Not wanting to find out, Cadence begin to wriggle and squirm trying to escape but the animatronic just laughed. "It's useless Fredbear has a grip of steel and even if you WERE to escape you can't hide for long," Cadence checked her watch, 5:50 AM. She had to find a way, that's when she remembered. She chuckled and said, "That may be true but I guess I should've mentioned that I can use magic!!!" That's when her horn began to glow and with a bright flash she was gone from Fredbear's grip. The two animatronics not understanding what happened began to look around the building for the pony but no sign of her. The animatronic was about to head out when he heard the familiar sound of a bell. "Hmph you got away this time but next time you won't be so lucky mark my words," growled the animatronic. Cadence had appeared at the front gates when she heard the clock tower go off. Cadence fell on the ground exhausted and relieved. She had managed to get through the first night. "I did it," said Cadence. Just then Nitro appeared on the other side of the gates. "So miss Cadenza how was it," asks Nitro Cadence nods and gets up. "Well that's good to hear glad your still alive you must be tired let's get you home," said Nitro letting Cadence out. "A nice rest is good enough for me," said Cadence. Cadence thanked Nitro and went home for the day. Night 1 Complete
