Survive Five Nights

Chapter 1: Night one - Dan and Phil



After long weeks of searching Dan and Phil finally found a job.

"HELP WANTED

Freddy Fazbear's Pizza

Family pizzeria looking for security guards to work the night shift.
12am to 6am.

Monitor cameras, ensure safety of equipment and animatronic characters.

Not responsible for injury/dismemberment.

$120 per week,
to apply call:
1-888-FA2-FAZ8268."



"Not responsible for any injury/dismemberment?" exclaimed Phil, looking concerned.



"It must just be something they have to put in the advert" Assured Dan.



NIGHT 1



Dan and Phil nervousley glanced around their new office.

It was five minutes to midnight.

The phone rang.

"Hello, hello? Uh, I wanted to record a message for you to help you get settled in on your first night. Um, I actually worked in that office before you. I'm finishing up my last week now, as a matter of fact. So, I know it can be a bit overwhelming, but I'm here to tell you there's nothing to worry about. Uh, you'll do fine. So, let's just focus on getting you through your first week. Okay?

Uh, let's see, first there's an introductory greeting from the company that I'm supposed to read. Uh, it's kind of a legal thing, you know. Um, "Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. A magical place for kids and grown-ups alike, where fantasy and fun come to life. Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or person. Upon discovering that damage or death has occurred, a missing person report will be filed within 90 days, or as soon property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached, and the carpets have been replaced."

Blah blah blah, now that might sound bad, I know, but there's really nothing to worry about. Uh, the animatronic characters here do get a bit quirky at night, but do I blame them? No. If I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for twenty years and I never got a bath? I'd probably be a bit irritable at night too. So, remember, these characters hold a special place in the hearts of children and we need to show them a little respect, right? Okay.

So, just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit. Uh, they're left in some kind of free roaming mode at night. Uh...Something about their servos locking up if they get turned off for too long. Uh, they used to be allowed to walk around during the day too. But then there was The Bite of '87. Yeah. I-It's amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe, you know?

Uh, now concerning your safety, the only real risk to you as a night watchman here, if any, is the fact that these characters, uh, if they happen to see you after hours probably won't recognize you as a person. They'll p-most likely see you as a metal endoskeleton without its costume on. Now since that's against the rules here at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, they'll probably try to...forcefully stuff you inside a Freddy Fazbear suit. Um, now, that wouldn't be so bad if the suits themselves weren't filled with crossbeams, wires, and animatronic devices, especially around the facial area. So, you could imagine how having your head forcefully pressed inside one of those could cause a bit of discomfort...and death. Uh, the only parts of you that would likely see the light of day again would be your eyeballs and teeth when they pop out the front of the mask, heh.

Y-Yeah, they don't tell you these things when you sign up. But hey, first day should be a breeze. I'll chat with you tomorrow. Uh, check those cameras, and remember to close the doors only if absolutely necessary. Gotta conserve power. Alright, good night."



"The characters get a bit quirky at night?" Said Dan.



Phil looked scared.



"Was this a bad idea Dan? I mean, we're not this desperate are we?"



"Do you want to go back to being the laughing stock of the town when they see our next video Phil?? I can't deal with 3 views again! Anyway, he said it'd be fine if we just saved as much power as we can."



Phil opened his mouth to reply but was cut off by a large bang coming from a few rooms away.



"What was that?" Whispered Dan.



"Check the security cameras." Said Phil.



Dan opened up the computer and scanned the rooms.



"I don't see anything..."



"What's that??" Said Phil pointing to a silhouette standing in the distance as the lights flickered."



"It looks like a bunny...." Said Dan.



"Where is it?" asked Phil.



"I think that's camera 18, so the party room."



"Where are we?" Said Phil.



"We're down here" Said Dan pointing to a room at the other end of the building.



"So we've just got to watch out for camera 28 and camera 48" He added. "That's when we'll be in real trouble."



"I don't want to be forcefully stuffed in to an anamitronic suit..." Said Phil, his voice quivering with fear.



Dan sighed "You wont actually get stuffed in to a Freddy Fazbear suit Phil!" he said "If this place was that dangerous they'd have shut it down by now!"



"Lets hope so..." Said Phil.



88 percent battery.

1AM



Dan and Phil had fallen silent.



"Lets check the cameras again." Said Phil.



"No, we've only got 70% battery left."



"What will happen if we run out of power..?" Breathed Phil.



"I don't know.." Sighed Dan.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



2AM



Phil was getting restless.



"They could be anywhere Dan. We need to check the cameras."



"Ok, if it'll stop you freaking out!"



Dan opened up the computer and clicked to camera 1A, the stage.



"See?? They're all still there. There's nothing to worry about Phil, they're just robots. I mean, what're they really gunna d- Wait...... Where did the chicken go?"



"I can't see her anywhere!!!!" Said Phil who was already panicking.



"Calm down Phil." Said Dan, trying to swallow his own fear. He checked camera 18, nothing. He checked camera 7, nothing. He checked camera 5, nothing again.



"What about 2A?" Said Phil.



Dan clicked 2A to reveal Chica staring straight in to the camera.



"SHE'S IN THE HALLWAY!!" Screamed Dan, finally losing his cool.



"CLOSE THE DOORS" Shouted Phil, only more panicked by Dan's fear.



Dan scrambled for the button.



"QUICKLY!!" Shouted Phil.



The doors closed.



"Phew." Breathed Dan.



"That was close..."



They waited to see if they could hear anything, but everything had gone silent.



"Where is she now?"  Asked Phil.



"She's back in the party room." Said Dan looking at the cameras.



They both breathed a sigh of relief. Opening the doors again.



46 percent battery.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



3AM



Dan and Phil agreed to check the cameras more frequently after the incident with Chica, but power was running low.



Phil was anxiously chewing his nails and listening to Dan snoring.



He's fallen asleep 10 minutes ago and Phil wasn't sure if he should wake him. It was about time the cameras were checked again and Phil didn't know how to work them yet, but Dan looked so cute and peaceful curled up in his office chair.



Phil decided he'd hold off waking him for a few more minutes.



The first couple of minutes were somewhat uneventful, but the peace was soon broken where he heard something moving at the end of the hallway.



"Dan....?" Phil whispered.



There was silence. Dan had turned over and was no longer snoring. All Phil could hear was his soft breathing and his own heart beat swiftly increasing.



"Maybe it's gone" Phil thought, trying to put his mind at ease.



But suddenly he heard a much louder bang. It sounded like something was right outside the door.



"What was that?!" Said Dan, who'd luckily been woken by the sound.



"I don't know." Breathed Phil.



The two boys stayed silent for another few seconds until two glowing eyes appeared, flickering outside the door.



Phil held in a scream as Dan shot his hands forward and flicked on the light switch.



"NO, CLOSE THE DOORS!!" Screamed Phil.



"IT'S THE BEAR!!!"  shouted Dan frozen in fear.



Phil leaped up and hit every button he could see.



Lights started flashing, an alarm sounded and the all doors locked shut on both sides.



"Noooooo!!" Screamed Dan, snapping out of it and and trying to turn off the beaming lights and blaring alarm. " WE'RE GUNNA LOSE  ALL THE POWER!"



"I had to do something" Said Phil, panicking even more than before.



"NOW THEY'LL KNOW WHERE WE ARE YOU IDIOT!!!" Dan shouted angrily. Turning off the alarm. "WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO PHIL?! THEY COULD BE HERE ANY MOMME-"



"I'm sorry Dan I just didn't think..." Whimpered Phil, which caused Dan to stop shouting and sigh.



"I'm sorry too. I shouldn't be freaking out at you, it'll only make things worse, you were only trying to help." Dan breathed.



"I shouldn't have done it though, it was stupid. Now they're going to find us..." Said Phil, his voice shaking as the lump in his throat grew.



"It's ok." Dan said taking Phil in to his arms. "We only have 2 more hours." he whispered.



"We'll be ok."



10 percent battery.



4AM



As the night went on the room fell silent again.



Phil wasn't sure if Dan had fallen asleep again until the silence was broken and he said.



"Are you ok now Phil?"



"Yes.." Phil whispered.



"Good, I don't like seeing you upset.... It makes me sad too."



There was a slightly awkward silence then Dan said



"Maybe we should check the cameras again."



"Uuh, y-yeah." Phil stuttered.



Nothing looked out of the ordinary in any of the rooms so they closed the computer over again and fell silent.



"I'm exhausted." Sighed Phil, rubbing his eyes.



"You should take a nap now, while things are uneventful. I'll keep watch." said Dan



"Are you sure?" said Phil.



"Yeah, it's fine." Said Dan, pretending he wasn't scared after what happened last time someone fell asleep.



Phil curled up in his chair and closed his eyes.



He was quietly snoring within a couple of minutes.



"You really were tired" Whispered Dan, smiling, and stroking Phil's hair back.



He suddenly realised what he was doing and quickly pulled his hand away, turning a deep red within seconds.



Dan sat fidgeting for the next fifteen minutes. Briefly checking the cameras every few minutes.



Phil was still sleeping sound.



Dan watched his chest rising and falling and listened to his deep breathing, somehow this made him feel more at ease. Phil always did.



5 percent power.





-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



5AM



Phil had woken and was rubbing his eyes again.



"Thanks, Dan. I really needed that," he mumbled.



Dan was drinking an instant coffee he'd made to keep him awake. "No problem," he replied.



"Did you see anything on the cameras while I was sleeping?" Phil asked.



"Nope, they're pretty chilled out right now."



"It mustn't be too long until dawn... how much power do we have left?"



Dan gulped. "Only five percent."



"But don't worry," He said when he saw Phil's face change. "As you said, it must be almost dawn."



Phil sighed.



Another fifteen minutes passed.



"Check the cameras again." Said Phil.



"But we'll lose battery," Said Dan "It's OK Phil, if any were coming we would hear them."



Phil started chewing his lip.



Dan could tell he was worrying.



"Look, if it'll put your mind at ease we can quickly check them." He said.



"Thanks Dan." Phil said, forcing a brief smile. Which was enough to reassure Dan, for now.



Everything looked OK on the cameras.



They closed them down again.



But then they heard another noise from the end of the hallway. On the opposite side from last time.



"What was that?" Said Dan "There was nothing on the cameras just a few seconds ago?"



"How fast can they move?" Asked Phil in a worried tone.



"I have no idea.." Said Dan



There was a short silence.



"Turn on the light." Said Phil.



"It might be gone." Said Dan.



"Just turn on the light." said Phil



"We'll lose power!" Said Dan.



Suddenly they heard music in the distance. It sounded like something from a child's music box.



"CHECK THE CAMERAS!!" Said Phil, frantically. "I don't like this!"



Dan opened up the cameras and clicked through all the rooms.



"Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, WOAH!"



Chica was standing right by one of the cameras.



"WHERE IS SHE??" screamed Phil.



"I DON'T KNOW!!!" Shouted Dan as the music grew louder.



"I think she's in the hallway!!" Shouted Phil "Turn on the light!!!"



This time Dan did click the light.



"She's not there!" Said Dan.



"Keep it on, I think she's coming!!!"



"We're losing battery!!!" Panicked Dan.



Suddenly the lights flickered out and they were plunged in to darkness.



0 percent battery.



"Oh no.." Whispered Phil.



"Oh god! Oh god! Oh god!" Said Dan.



"Shhhhh," Said Phil. "She'll hear us."



Their eyes were glued to the door as the music grew louder.



Suddenly Chica's glowing white eyes appeared through the darkness, flashing on and off as the music played out.



Dan put his hand over his heart. He could feel it beating faster than ever.



"Go away, go away," Phil chanted in his head,



"This is it." Dan said.



Chica was staring straight at them, when her head suddenly fell down and she stopped in her tracks.



It was silent, the music had come to a sudden halt.



Phil looked at Dan, and there was another short silence before they screamed,



"WE DID IT!!! It's 6 o'clock!!"



They threw their arms around each other and hugged tightly in relief.



"She must be set to turn off in the morning." Said Dan breaking the hug to walk over and inspect Chica.



"Don't touch her Dan," Phil urged "Lets just get out  of here."



"Yeah," Said Dan, turning back, "Only 4 more nights to go..."



Phil bit down hard on his lip. He dreaded the thought of four more nights of this.



"We can do this." Dan smiled reassuringly at Phil.



"Lets hope so..." He breathed.
