//------------------------------// // Night 2- where are you?! // Story: Five nights of horror // by Doukzor //------------------------------// My hoof taps slowed as I reached the large spruce doors to a similar castle. It was fully crystal, emanating light EVERYWHERE, and was basically the worst house I could ever live in. Good thing I didn`t. I raised my right hoof, making small tapping noises on the door after. "She`d better know what`s going on" I noted to myself silently. One of the large doors creaked open, revealing a Purple alicorn, whom stared at me with confusion. And a little rage. "Why`r you here?" she asked a bit rudely. With a sigh, I pushed past her. "You know Freddy Fazbear`s, right?" I asked more assertively than passively. Twilight nodded slowly, her mood a bit droopy all of a sudden. "Y-yes, I do. What does that have to do-" I cut Twilight Sparkle off. "I work there, that`s what" I snapped at her. She flinched, but didn`t move. "So?". "So, they almost killed me" I waved a hoof in the air. Twilight almost laughed. "Killed you? Pah! That`s ridiculous!" she began to snicker. "It is NOT!! They move at night, alright? They MOVE. Bon Bon and Chica got into my office!" I growled. Twilight muffled her laughter, and continued a fake straight face. "Really? Oh wow, did they- sing a song and dance for you?" She teased. I blushed with rage. "You don`t understand, Twi. They were gonna attack me!" I snarled at her. She hid her mouth with a wing. "Yep, they sure were. What`s knew, talking animals?!". "We are talking animals" I pointed out, shutting Twilight right up. "Whelp, still, sounds stupid to me, Stargleam. Why did you really come here?" she asked firmly. "Because of the animatronics. That`s why" I replied flatly. Twilight trotted up to me. "Stargleam, are you okay? We may not get along, but come on. Some stupid prank isn`t enough for me to believe you" she stared behind me. "What do you mean?" I asked. "That thing" she pointed a hoof in the direction of above my head. With my nerves building up, I slowly turned my head. Was there something behind me? I twisted my body so I could see everything behind me. There was nothing. Nothing except a glass hallway, and that stupid light bending into my eyes. There was... Nothing. "Hey, why`d ya-" "Boo". "GAH!!!" I fell back. Twilight was laughing her flank off. "It`s not funny!!!" I pushed her, half playfully. "Yeah it is!" she poked me, then wrapped a hoof around my shoulder, "Look, your just paranoid, okay?". I thought on it for a second. "N-no i`m not, well, no I saw what I saw" I grunted. "Well, you won`t have a job if you don`t go back" Twilight pointed out. I sighed. "And then I can`t pay you back, right. That was the only free job..." I stared out of one of the glass windows. Nighttime was approaching fast. "Exactly. So, i`d just go work for the night" Twilight shrugged, then added, " If you bring me proof of walking robotic ponies then i`ll believe you". I shook my head. "Uh-huh. Whelp, I guess I should get going then..." I began to trot away towards the exit. "Bye!" Twilight waved. I waved back, until disappearing behind the a wall corner. "This is gonna be a long night". My hooves tapped the tiled floor as I entered my open no-door office. It was currently 11:57. "I have a few minutes, maybe I should... Set things up". With that, I climbed into my leather chair, and took to turning on the tablet. As with before, it took about a minute or so. I flicked the lights on and off, and practiced changing cameras for the last two minutes. The now familiar chime played in my ears as it signaled the start of night 2. I immediately changed to the stage, awaiting Bonnie to move. And still, the phone went off again. "Another message?" I asked the phone, which of course answered with another ring. The phone finally picked up the message. It was 12:00. "Hello? Hello? Uh, hey there! See you`ve made it to your second night!" Phone Guy seemed cheerful. "So... I hope your okay, one guard... Ended his so called 'misery'. I`d uh, like to not go into that, i`m sure you can sum it up". I sighed, "That feels like me right now". "Um, Bonnie might come out tonight... And by that, I mean the old one, you know, the one in the back? Mangle and Balloon Boy MAY... But I highly doubt it. Look, just keep up the great work!". "Great work? This line of work`ll get me killed!" I spat. "I trust you! And maybe, uh, maybe you`ll get a raise, I don`t know. Just hang in there, okay?" Phone Guy seemingly asked- but answered before I could- "Okay. Goodnight!". With that the phone turned off. "Yeah, goodnight" I whimpered. The rooms seemed normal, maybe Bonnie wouldn`t move tonight? Of course, the other animatronics- namely Mangle and the withereds- seemed as if they could be turned off forever, considering the untidy features. I lowered the monitor in front of me, glancing around the room. "I shouldn`t waste electricity, for one" I noted. "That would get me fired. Why? I don`t know, just stay calm and-" a few banging noises prickled along my ears, "... And don`t die". Bonnie had made his way to the same party room from before, holding his guitar as if going to play it. "Stay there, freak" I commanded. He made no extra movements. "So, it seems I wasn`t paranoid after all!" I cheered for myself. That cheer became a frown as I heard more metal hooves stomping around, and found that a white fox ear was poking out slightly above the hall camera. "Mangle?!" I gasped. Yeah, it was her. Mangle wasn`t in sight within her tiny cove. I sighed. "So... It`s two now, Phone Guy said there might be two other ones... Who were they again?" I tapped my chin. Apparently i`d been too focused on deciding how I would survive than his message. "Right, but now, heh, maybe I can live better...?" My words weren`t exactly coming out right. With my head just not focusing with the bloody thoughts in my head. I flipped up the tablet, and went straight to the prize corner. My hoof held itself on the music box, until it was full again from being half gone- or empty? Chica was in the hall, her face with those nasty eyes and no-beak again. Mangle was gone. "Chica.... Stay away. And Mangle? Where are you-" I lowered the tablet to find the hallway light wouldn`t work. "Great". Whence it turned back on, Mangle was hanging some distance in the hall, her hand out as if to wave. Guess what I did. My hoof was in the air, moving a bit- I decided to say hello! Why not, it wouldn`t be like this thing would move. Yeah... Mangle`s hand/paw began to move left and right too. "O-okay Mangle, now stay away for the night" I called out slightly.
