Five Nights at Penny's: Day 4

Weiss couldn't just stay at the office and pace about all damn day while Blake slept- if one could call that tossing and turning sleeping- so she may go back to that horrible place! She needed to do something to help. Anything, to help!

Ruby deserved that much from her.

Weiss stopped mid stride to silence a sob. She always choked up when her mind thought of the joyful girl, making the heiress sob even harder when she thought back about how such thoughts used to bring her joy.

They can't now...never again unless she could move past all this.

It just...wasn't fair! Out of the millions of people in the entire world, those were the ones that never deserved such a fate, damn near nobody did! So why did it have to happen to them? To her! To Ruby?

Returning to her desk, Weiss refreshed her computer and began researching ghosts. Yes, it was a silly thing, but the way Blake described everything, and the way they machines repeated those two, seemingly important words, it made sense to the woman.

What if, the ghosts of her friends were still trapped there? After all, they never found the bodies of them, only the large amounts of blood and people hearing the screams of the children. The security guard that supposedly killed them took his own life right after, leaving the taunting message that he got away with it all, and in all of that, there was no justice. No justice for anybody, really.

But it was odd, how Blake said they looked and acted so much like their friends, and she had mentioned the smell of the animatronics to be as bad as rotting food, so maybe...

No. No, if that were the case, surely the owner or someone would have noticed and done something about it. Surely they wouldn't run the business with...with rotting corpses in theeir characters! That was...that was unmoral on so many levels that it made her sick!

But maybe that was why he was saleing the place? Taking all the money he could before he was found out?

Weiss took a deep breath, forcing the chills that run up and down her whole body to stop. If that was the case, if that was truly the case of it all, then maybe the souls of her friends were trapped in those suits and skeletons of iron and were begging to be let out. Saying the words that could to try and convey that they were there, and praying for freedom.

But why...try and harm those that worked there? Surely, if her friends were in those suits, they wouldn't hurt anyone...right? But Yang has said-and dear god what did seeing Ruby's face do to that poor girl- she had said that they stuffed anyone they caught into a suit, killing them in the process.

But...why?

Why? Why?! WHY?! It was the only thing Weiss could think of, stayed awake at night and thought over! Why The violence? Why them? Why Ruby?! Why...did someone take her ray of sunshine away?

"Miss Schnee?" A man, her secretary, called out as he gave a gentle tapping to her door. "I have a visitor for you. Mister Ozpin from the...Paranormal Branch of the state collage?"

"Ah, yes. Bring him in." Weiss nodded, straightening up her lists and notes she had readied for this meeting.

A tall man, walking with a slight limp and bearing his weight upon a cane, walked into the room. He wore bent glasses and had silvering hair. He seemed wise to her, or maybe it was her just being hopeful, though the knowing smile he tossed her way made her thoughts seem all the more bright.

"Good afternoon, Miss Schnee. I hear you have some questions you'd like answered? How odd, coming from a business woman such as yourself."

"Take a seat, Mister Ozpin. I'm afraid, a business woman like I am, have very little time to give you, yet I bear many questions." Weiss offered back, a tiny hand, shaking from lack of sleep and to much coffee, waved to him an empty chair.

The man sat down, almost letting out a sigh as he took the weight off his bad leg or hip. He adjusted his glasses, which sat far down his nose, and cleared his throat. "You seem rather troubled. I take it something has put you in such a state? Something, supernatural?"

"I..." Weiss sighed has she steeled herself. "I do not know yet, really." She admitted to the aged man. "I fear it might be, and yet, I pray that it isn't."

"May I ask why these events trouble you? Is it haunting or maybe something a bit more personal?"

"Personal. Dangerously personal and something I wish to keep secret, if I can trust you with that."

Ozpin smiled again, small wrinkles bunching up at the corners of his eyes. "Of course. You do not have to ask that of me."

"Good. Well, I suppose I should start at the beginning." The small woman sighed as she leaned back into her office chair, her fingers nervously lacing together so they may fiddle with one another. "I...I am sure you are aware of the establishment know has Penny Fazbear's Pizzeria?"

"Quite. Am I right to assume that the children that were murdered there were friends of yours?"

"Yes...One of them I even..."Weiss stopped herself, her throat tightening up before she pushed through it. "Another friend of mine is working as a security guard there, to watch over the animatronics and the like, but something...isn't right. Here, I'll show you my notes."

They spent a hefty hour going over the recordings, the stories and details Blake shared with her, the research Weiss herself did, and what Ozpin thought of it all made Weiss blood run cold.

"I would bet my cane that the souls of the deceased are trapped within those machines. And furthermore, I say they are suffering. As to why they are attacking your friend, I do not think it is them, or at least, not entirely."

"What does that mean?!"

"It means, their souls has given those objects movement, it has not controlled them. Who knows how long that security guard has been around them, and you know how they say objects absorb the likeliness of those around them. But this...Ruby...she seems...more in control then the others. Like, she has found something to help her fight off what is controlling her, but not entirely. She is still a threat, most certainly and I would watch her closely, but I feel as though she may have the key to all of this. Rather it is her...or something she is hiding behind that curtain."

A/N: Hey guys! If you noticed, this chap is Weiss' point of view and an important chapter to the story! We found out so answers about what's going on it seems, but what we didn't get was a way to stop it all from happening! What does Ruby have behind the curtain? How could it help them save their souls, and more importantly, is there still time to?

Also, I know that the stuff here isn't really explained in the game, and there are hundreds of theories about it! In this story, we'll be following mine, so don't take it for canon or anything, okay? Hope you all enjoy and remember, it's October, so get out there and scare somebody!
