Chapter 5: The Conversation

Nobody's PV

When it was already noon, Kai was already waiting outside the pizzeria with simple and normal clothes, he did not need to be well dressed to eat with Skylor, since it would only be a normal meal between friends. When he saw Skylor leave the pizzeria he gave her a kind wave as she handed it back to him.

- Ready? - He said referring to going to eat.

- Yes, ready - he answered normally but also somewhat nervous.

- Well. Come, we'll go in my car -

The Skylor car was one of those very popular that people use today, it consisted of four doors, and especially having a somewhat dark orange color, but it looked like it was very well cared for. When they got in, Skylor started the car and pulled out of the parking lot. But from the window of the pizzeria Vincent was watching them, and not with a pleasant enough look, his mind was filled with so many thoughts that he had not realized that he already had his eyes fixed on the animatronics who were entertaining the children.

As soon as they arrived at the place, Kai saw that it was a large bar-restaurant that had the name of Slither Pit, due to the large sign outside.

- This is the place? Kai asked as he got out of Skylor's car.

- Yes it's here. I always come here to relax. It has good food and drinks, I can assure you -

- I do not doubt that, coming from you of course -

- Well, let's go inside -

When they entered Kai could see that the place had a rustic touch. The place was packed. It even had pool tables, a karaoke, coffee shop, liquor store and you could even see that they served breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The place was nice it had displays and not so many decorations but it was nice.

- And what do you think? -

- The place looks good. It's cooler than the other bars I've been to -

- And wait to try the food - they both sat at a table that was only for two people.

After a while in being there, the two of them had already ordered their drinks and food which were quickly brought to them. Kai must have admitted that the service there was good and fast. When they started eating, Kai knew that he would have to be the first to start the conversation. So he thought for a moment the correct words as he looked at Skylor.

- Hey, about what you said earlier, how was it that you were a night guard before? -

- Well then ... It was something difficult to solve you know? That happened a year ago. When I had recently joined my father's guard at the pizzeria -

- Father? That means that you are the daughter of the owner of the pizzeria Freddy's Fazbear Pizza? - Kai asked somewhat surprised.

- Yes. Curious, no? (Flashback) I was a rookie then, but I already knew the local rules. Back then, Vincent felt bad and couldn't work, so my father asked me if I would cover him that week until he got better. I accepted.

I knew about everything that happened there, I told myself that maybe it was a lie and that it was just people's superstitions, since I knew the pizzeria better than anyone. But when I started my first night, that's when I started to believe everything the old guards said.

At first the first night it was quiet and without any problems. But as the hours passed I began to see the strange way the animatronics acted -

- And in what "strange" way did they act with you? - Kai asked something curious towards Skylor.

- They moved all over the pizzeria, but it was only Chica and Bonnie. At first I was upset. Why, how could they move like this? I thought it was about the free mode they had, but I knew that was not their programming. They began to approach the office. I was terrified, back then when they got closer I closed the doors and didn't open them for the next few hours, I didn't even want to look at the cameras because I knew they were already close.

But when I heard the footsteps outside the office I dared to look outside. And when I turned on the light, outside I could see Chica staring at me. I started to feel a lot of fear at that moment, and my energy ran out quickly, but then the steps were withdrawing and they did not return. I looked at the cameras and saw that they were both heading back on stage. Since then, they no longer came near the office. But they didn't move again that night, or the following night (End of Flashback) - after Skylor finished the story, she waited patiently for Kai's reaction.

- That is strange. With me they acted differently - he said as he drank his coffee.

- Well, now it's your turn to tell me your nights -

- Okay, this... The first night was a bit like yours, the first hours were quiet and boring. But when it was already three in the morning that was when they began to move. Bonnie was the first to go, then Chica. The two of them walked the pizzeria on their own sides, Bonnie the left side of the pizzeria and Chica the right side. I had to arrange for them not to enter the office. I thought that the messages that Vincent left were somewhat paranoid but apparently...they were true -

- I believed that too - Skylor concluded while listening to everything Kai said.

- Anyway, I followed all Vincent's advice and managed to get through the first night. But the second, there things became different and difficult. They were starting to move faster and faster than I thought. And I must admit that energy wears out fast. But yesterday on the third night, the four of them moved all over the pizzeria. Bonnie and Chica moved the same way. But Foxy and Freddy were the almost impossible to watch. Foxy was moving fast through the corridors towards the office that it was almost impossible to react fast enough to close the door, but I was faster than him. Freddy moved through the darkness that it was almost impossible to see him and prevent his movements. But I still managed to survive every night. But I still fear for the following -

- I guess they won't make it easy for you -

- No I dont think so. But after your first night, what else happened next? -

- When I finished my first night, I thought about telling my father, but I knew he would not believe me. Due to my first experience with them as a child. But even so, I continued to spend the nights without any problem and when Vincent got better he returned to work and I was switched to the day shift, since then I have not told anyone about what happened that night -

- First experience? I thought you said that when you were a night watchman you believed for the first time everything people said about the pizzeria and animatronics - Kai argued somewhat confused.

- It's difficult to explain. Even for me. But I think I can trust you -

- In which? -

- About animatronics -

- What is going on with them? -

- It was a long time ago, when I was a child, I was 10 years old at that time. It was a year after what... well I don't know if you've heard about what happened with some children who disappeared in the pizzeria -

- Actually yes -

- Well... (Flashback) It all happened one night, while my mother and I walk we are going home from the pizzeria after having tried to wait for my father with some business with the investigation team, at that time the pizzeria was closed due to investigations into the disappearances of children. Everything was quiet and alone in the streets, but still I enjoyed the company of my mother.

Until... A man stood in front of us, demanded everything we had of value, but my mother refused, so I took out a knife, my mother in an attempt to protect me, she tried to stop him and told me to run and not to look back. I was terrified, but I still listened to him. I ran away not knowing what would happen to my mother when I left her behind. I kept running nonstop until I got to the pizzeria.

When I arrived I tried to look for someone in the surroundings, I do not know a policeman or anyone who helped me but there was no one, I had to assume that everyone had already left because it was so late, just like my father. But I realized that that man was chasing me.

I tried to enter through the front door but it was closed, but knowing the pizzeria well I knew which doors could possibly be open. Heading around the back I saw that a door was open, I opened it and entered before that man caught me.

When I was inside I started running around the whole pizza place to get to my father's office and be able to call the police. But as I passed the stage, what I saw left me very confused. The animatronics were gone, they were nowhere to be seen.

Then it was there when I heard strange noises, at first I thought it was the man who was chasing me but those noises were more strange; They were like murmurs, voices and little noises of some kind of children, in that I heard Freddy's laughter, I even heard Foxy's song and all kinds of noises in the kitchen.

I was afraid, very afraid. But at that, the man who was chasing me came in and caught me, I tried to free myself but then he hit me and I fell to the ground.

But before I lost consciousness, I heard his screams accompanied by a childish melody, Freddy's laugh and several metallic screams, accompanied by voices that I could hardly distinguish, I even heard the screams of that man.

When I woke up, the police had already arrived along with my father, they found me in the night guard's office, but they also found that man already dead, he was near the stage in a Freddy suit (End of Flashback) -

- In a Freddy suit? - Kai asked a little fearful.

- Yes. (Flashback) The police questioned me, but I told them that I had not seen anything, since I was unconscious. And that case was never revealed to the public, since my father convinced them to remain a secret so as not to affect the pizzeria anymore (End of Flashback) -

The question Kai was thinking about, he knew he would soon regret - And your mother? -

- She died - Skylor did not let the tears get in the way and only showed a sad tone - The police found her dead in the place where the man ambushed us, she was stabbed many times and... I felt very guilty about that... She told me many times that I shouldn't have left her there alone and that I had better stayed with her to help her. But it was not like that -

- As sorry Skylor - Kai consoled her.

- Don't worry, it's fine. The only thing I have of her is this - taking out a pendant from her neck, it was gold in the shape of a heart, opening it showed a picture of her as a child and her mother, who had the same hair color, but loose. You could tell that they looked a lot alike - he gave it to me when I was 8 years old, it was my birthday then. I've never taken it off - she showed a weak smile when she saw the image of her mother. But I keep it back under his shirt.

- I understand you. I too have lost someone I loved -

- I'm sorry - now it was Skylor's turn to comfort him.

- Careless it was also a long time ago. But it was not just one person, there were several -

- What do you mean? -

- About the five children who disappeared in the pizzeria, one of them was my little sister. Her name was Nya. While the other four were my best friends: Cole, Zane, Jay and Lloyd -

- And you know how they disappeared? -

- I really don't know. I was not with them that day. I was sick back then ... I still remember that day - Kai sounded more nostalgic - (Flashback) Me being in my bed sick and my little sister convincing me to go with her to the pizzeria. That was the last time I saw her, as well as my friends. When they told me and my parents that he had disappeared, I felt very guilty.

I blamed myself for not being with her, for being there for her and my friends. Since if I had been there, things would be different and they would not have disappeared, so maybe I would not hurt my parents and the parents of my friends. I still have that guilt, sometimes I get over it and sometimes I don't. Nothing has been the same since that day. The only thing I keep of them are the memories and photos that I have spent with them (End of Flashback) -

- Have you ever wondered what really happened to them? -

- Before, yes, like my parents and the parents of my friends, but... Over the years without finding a clue of them we had to accept that they had left and would never return. Since then, everyone has told me never to go back to the pizzeria -

- How I'm sorry, really. It must have been very hard for all of you -

- It was... -

- Was that one of the reasons for accepting the job and staying? -

- Well partly yes. But he also needed the money. I no longer wanted my parents to keep sending me for not having a job -

- And your parents know that you work at the pizzeria? -

- No. I didn't want them to meddle and worry more -

- But sooner or later they will know, right? -

- Yes. Sooner or later -

- By the way, what were you doing in Foxy's Pirate Cove? - The question surprised Kai a bit but even so he understood to tell him.

- Well, during my shift I saw in his camera that he had a phrase written on the sign that said: "It's me." When I finished and went to check it, I saw that the phrase was gone, so I thought that maybe it was just a hallucination or my imagination -

- Well sometimes our nerves play games with our minds - Skylor said as she took a bite of her food.

- But still you said that on your turn they didn't attack you, right? -

- No. Only when one of them saw me did the others stop attacking me -

- They didn't attack you with you. But why with the other guards and with me? This already sounds strange -

- The other guards were men and they were attacked, but not because I was a woman. Curious. It almost sounds like they only care about one person and that person must be a man - Skylor analyzed all the information he could say.

- Are you sure it is not some kind of fault in them? - Kai argument before the supposed theory.

- I do not think so. Sometimes engineers come to check them and have found nothing wrong with them. Vincent is the manager in superficial and assures us that they are safe - affirmed Skylor honestly.

- So if it's not your "free mode" what is it then? -

- I do not know -

- A robot doesn't act that way. And it is impossible for them to have a life of their own, it is logically impossible. They act normal in the day but why do they act that strange at night? -

- This behavior began a few days after the disappearance of the children. Do you think the animatronics have any connection to the disappearance of your sister and friends? -

- I do not know. Could... be - Kai sounded more doubtful at that theory. If the animatronics were involved with the disappearance of his friends and sister. He would have to investigate further at the pizzeria.

After eating and chatting a bit more about themselves, Skylor offered to take Kai home and when they arrived Skylor noticed that he lived in an apartment building.

- It's here? - Skylor asked to be sure.

- Yes it's here. Thanks, Skylor, for bringing me - got out of the car and went to the passenger window.

- No need to Kai. I guess I'll see you at night right? -

- I suppose so - he said showing a smile.

- Well then, I'll see you at night -

- Sure - he stepped away from the vehicle and Skylor continued on his way while Kai entered the building.

When Kai entered his apartment he went straight to his room and changed his clothes for a more comfortable one without first fixing his guard uniform. He sat on his bed and stared at the photos of his friends and sister, laying on his bed he wondered if Skylor's theory was true, but he still doubted it but he still had it in his mind.

- Is it true ... what Skylor said? Are the animatronics related to the disappearance of Nya and the boys? - Rolling over in his bed, he saw his alarm clock and saw that it was five in the afternoon. Putting those thoughts aside, he decided to get some sleep and then go to work.
