Chapter 7: Confidence - Night Three ~Cont.~

By the time she had approached the entrance to the main room, and had taken a seat on the edge of the stage in which the animatronics put on a show for the children, the power had shut off, making the only source, her illuminating flashlight. The building cast an eery spell of silence that reminded the girl of her dream the night before. She could remember the disheartening tones of each of the robotic animals.

"I-I know you guys, a-are there," Alikki shook, her voice echoing in the room. She could hear the fear she had. She awaited for a response, but received none

There was however, a metallic scraping on the tiled floor somewhere near her, and before she could react, a brown paw was quickly lunged towards her neck. The metal hand lifted the girl off the stage, her feet hanging in the air, and she dropped her flashlight. She brought her hands up to the animatronics arms, feeling her breath slim.

There were other sounds from around her, to which she assumed were the other animatronics. Not knowing what to do, she stared in the bears eyes, who showed no emotion. Her mouth was opened slightly, and she tried to catch some air, however, due to the beasts grip, none would enter her lungs.

When she felt her head begin to pound in pain, her arms fell from the metallic arms, and she closed her eyes. "f-freddy...i know, w-what happened...to you," she croaked, feeling what was around her, beginning to fade away.

The bear seemed unfazed, until he threw the girl to the back of the stage, her back hitting the wooden wall. She fell, landing on her stomach, her legs bent slightly, and she coughed violently. Taking the moment to fill her lungs back up with the air she needed, she went on her knees, bring her hands to her neck. A headache formed within her brain, as she stared at the four animatronics before her.

"I know what happened to all of you," she stated, her voice weak. They remained motionless, and said nothing.

The girl slowly stood up, brushing her hair out of her face. "Freddy, Bonnie, Foxy and Chica..." She began, looking at each of them, "I know of what that, murderer has done. You didn't deserve that..." She took a few slow steps towards them, "you were only children...you only wanted to help." Her eyes were shortly filled with tears, "and he pays you by killing you! Children!"

She approached the bear, who was a few inches taller than her, "I may not know your true names, but I know enough to feel sorry for you." Placing her hand on the side of the bears face, she turned to her right, and found her facing the chicken. Her tears fell from her eyes, "Chica, you were only in elementary school. You could've lived a wonderful life...but he didn't let that happen."

"I'm sorry," she faced them all again, more tears falling down, "all of you." She rubbed her eyes with the back of her good arm.

"Really?" a small, metallic voice said. The girl turned to the chicken, the youngest one in the room. "You, know who did this?"

Alikki walked up to her, "I do. He's the one who started this business. The one who hired me."

"Don't believe her," said another voice, this one sounding male. The girl was the only who moved. She looked at the bunny, who turned his purple head towards her, "She's lying."

"No," Alikki shook her head, walking towards him, "I know you may be skeptical, but I do know the truth. I know what happened."

"She could be telling the truth," replied the smaller voice.

"She's just like the other adults, Chic," scolded the bunny, "deceitful bitches."

The bunny moved her body to face the bunny, but remained silent.

"I'm not deceiving you, any of you," Alikki responded, her eyes glued onto Bonnie.

...

"Give us a name then," a new voice demanded, this one was an older male, "then tell us our story. Then, we will believe you."

The young woman nodded, looking at the chicken, "There were five of you, still in school and of various ages. Out the five, Chica is the youngest, then its Foxy and Bonnie, and lastly, its Freddy and the other girl." Alikki looked around, but only saw four suits, "Where's the other high school girl?"

"...her soul doesn't acquire a suit," answered Freddy in a whisper. "Continue."

The girl looked down, "When you were finished with the suits, they wouldn't work. They needed something in order for them to function." She looked at each of the figures, "I'm not sure how he did, but somehow, he lured you guys into one of the back rooms, where he...murdered you," she wiped her eyes, "he needed your souls within those suits."

"Who is he?" The animatronics, apart from Foxy, said in unison.

"Mr. Faz."

...

"She does know," Bonnie stated in surprise, "She knows our story."

"I do," said Alikki, walking towards the bunny, "I want to help you. "

"Then destroy the one who trapped us here," the bear answered her, "He is the key to our freedom ."

Turning around, the girl looked at the bear, "How should I do that?"

"Kill him."
