3 CHAPTER 2: I Need You

(Earlier That Day)

It wasn't broken! By sheer luck, the camera had simply had a connection error, and wasn't out of commission. Ashley was a little excited when the camera finally came back on. Maybe Lora was still alive! Maybe she had run away, or was running.Whatever was happening, Ashley had to assume Lora was… gone. Lora was no longer in the camera's view, and she was nowhere else… "Where did she go?" Ashley asked herself. Then, she listened. It was muffled, but it sounded like screaming. Loud screaming. It lasted for a while before it gradually got quieter. Footsteps, not the ones from before, but still slightly heavy. From off of the screen to the left came the monster from before. It was still mostly shrouded, but what it was carrying wasn't. It was Lora, knocked out cold, her neck grasped by the creatures claws. It at first looked at the cameras, then towards the front entrance. It began to attempt to open the door, but then seemed to sigh. Then, it reacted to something as Ashley accidentally caused a really old cup to fall on the ground, looking again for a way to help. Ashley couldn't tell what. As far as she could tell, there was nothing else happening. It began making its way to the right of the room, stopping in front of large silver doors, yellow and black stripes around them. The doors seemed like blast doors, why would a pizzeria need blast doors? Why would a pizzeria need a lock-down? What was with this pla-

*Knock knock.*

Ashley jumped, and immediately realized something terrible. She looked at the camera and really focused on the doors the monster was in front of. As she feared, in bold black letters were the words "Back room." The room she was viewing was right next to the one she was in. Peaking out of the office door, she saw the spitting image of the doors to her left, opposite of where she had come from.

*knock knock.*

It had begun knocking on the door, over and over, before it began banging on it, clawing at it. A simple cup. It had made a bit of a sound, but it shouldn't have been that loud. Then, it stopped. Ashley checked the cameras. It was walking away, running even, taking Lora with it. Moments later, she saw something else. Something was chasing after it. It too stopped when it came to the door, before running after the other creature. Ashley didn't even get a good look at it, she simply watched as it slipped back into the shadows off camera.

What was Ashley going to do? She couldn't stay here, they clearly knew she was here. Then she saw it. A door on the other side of the one way window. Checking the cameras one last time, she quickly went to the door and tried it. It opened, and checking her surroundings, Ashley left a room most others didn't with a new feeling of being watched.

(In The Present)

Huge footsteps approached towards Lora as the sounds of metal rending came from the opposite hallway. It was forcing its way in, bending the walls outwards so it could fit inside. Sparks flung from the one broken light, letting her see that she as much, before even it gave no help to her. "I can barely see." Lora said to herself. When the rending stopped, all that was left was the beast's eyes. More huge footsteps. Now it was making its way directly to her. It was smart. It was using her eyes to find her, and by the time she realized, it was right in front of her. It breathed heavily, looking into her eyes with a deathly stare. She heard the ceiling hit it's back, and even give way some, as it stood up properly. It was much bigger. Bigger than it just was, and most definitely bigger than her, and it was right there, in front of her face. A low growl came from the darkness, at this point, it's mouth was visible again, it's eyes still giving the anger and the mad lust for blood from earlier. Lora realized she had dug her own grave. If she hadn't pressed that button, it wouldn't have gotten so angry, so much more dangerous than it already was. It placed it's cold metal claw around her throat, dripping with a cold substance, beginning to cling harder and harder on it. Lora began to do something she almost never did. She began to cry. "Bonnie! Help me!" She shrieked as she let out a river of tears. "BONNIE!" Lora yelled. Her plush friend had opened his eyes, but then closed them.

"Please... help..." Things we're getting dark again, but she kept crying. Eventually, she couldn't see, but she felt the grip around her neck loosen, and soon heard a sound of metal running behind her. Then, the monster released her, and she heard it backaway. When her vision came back, she was still crying, and she had lost the will to stand. To even move was all but impossible. She had fallen to the ground while it was strangling her, and Lora still couldn't get up. After a few moments, she finally regained the strength to move her arms. She felt her neck for the liquid that had dropped from it's claws, and for blood. She felt neither, but the back of her head hurt bad. It wasn't bleeding, but it hurt.

Lora soon found the strength to get up, but as she did, she suddenly forced herself back down. It was still there. Eyeing it's prey. It then rushed to the left of the door, into the darkness. She heard faint metal movement behind her disappear as well, but she dare not turn around. Then, she did something that confused even her. She didn't know why she spoke up, she just did. "Bonnie?" The steps behind her stopped, before coming closer. She began to feel regret as another monster was right in front of her, it's eyes were pure blood red at first, before becoming a more pinkish purple.

Like the other, it stared at her. It didn't try to hurt her, but she felt uneasy. Some of the grey, dimmer lights came back on in the room, and her watcher began casting a dark shadow, but now Lora could see two bunny ears very clearly. With that, her now so familiar friend turned around and gave her his more familiar face, a little blue plush doll before darting out into the hall behind her. "Wait! I need you!" She yelled out! That WAS Bonnie. He saved her! The lights flashed back on. Somehow, Lora had been moved to opposite corner away from the door. While she knew she had backed away, she didn't realize she was against a wall until now. Bonnie's eyes soon opened and they seemed relieved when they saw her. "Hey pal." He said with an innocent smile. He paused, and let out a nervous sigh. "I have some explaining to do don't I?"

Lora looked at her friend with a bit of contempt. Bonnie seemed to react before she even set the gaze into motion. His ears sagged and he lost any of the enthusiasm he just had. "I know I know, I could've told you, but then you'd scream and be afraid of me." He was silent, but Lora wasn't. She kept throwing questions at him. "Where am I? Why didn't you say something sooner? Why did the other guys try to kill me." Bonnie looked a bit nervous for a bit, but answered none the less. "This is an old place that the workers here used, usually to hide from, well, us."

Bonnie looked at the hole that Lora had seemingly forgotten about. She looked down and covered her mouth, feeling herself about to hurl. She nearly fell into the blood filled "basement" that she was looking at. Near the hole was a small hat she had failed to notice and blue shreds. Lora was disgusted and once again nearly collapsed, but only got on her knees. From there, she smelt the blood. The decaying flesh that was left behind and the bones that had been chomped into pieces. It was a revolting sight and an even worse smell. How had she not noticed? She was crawling in a literal blood bath. Upon her clothes were slabs of dense blood that she had neglected due to constant fear. Now she couldn't think of anything else. She looked like she had just murdered someone and she... She... She was gonna puke...

Bonnie's little hands pointed to a bucket and Lora needed nothing more. Afterwards, she found a floorboard to cover the gruesome sight and did so without hesitation. She turned to Bonnie, her eyes now filled with relief and a mix of fear. "What did you do?" Bonnie looked at the hole again, remaining silent. He began to speak, but was interrupted by a noise from behind. Hissing, as if a snake was right behind her. She turned and saw two eyes peer out of the darkness. "Bonnie?" She thought aloud. Her answer came when the creature's third eye opened, and it's tongue became apparent. Lora froze. It was the orange monster. "In the hole behind you, now!" Bonnie yelled. The orange monster stepped into the room, bumping its head slightly as it did.

The creature had three tongues, four arms with huge hands, and three twisted eyes. It's torso had tears that revealed what looked to be organs, even though it's arms had tears that showed bloody metal. It once again licked it's teeth and slammed it's hand on the door, breaking the buttons. Lora looked at the back wall to see a hole she could fit through. A vent that had been opened and seemingly destroyed by something far too big making its way through it. Still, it was too small for the monster and just big enough for Lora to be able to sit up inside. Grabbing Bonnie, she rushed for it as the monster roared at its prey, running at her and grabbing her left foot.

Lora was in extreme pain as the monster refused to let go of her. It's claws rammed into her flesh and it felt like the beast would rip her leg off any minute. She screamed at the aching as she felt blood begin to hit her foot and began kicking the monster with the other only to get the same thing happen to it. She could hear thumping from outside of the hole, from which side, she was unsure.

Then, Lora felt the tugging on her leg strengthen, until each hand slowly lost its grip. When she looked back, she saw the red beast get completely run over by something else. It wasn't Bonnie. Whatever it was, it had rammed the red monster into the wall. The lights went out in the room from the impact, but Lora could still see a pair of eyes that she recognized. She quickly began backing away from the opening as the brown monster tried to get at her. It even began making the wall opening wider so it could fit inside. She hurried as she heard the metal wall give way to shear force from the creature's claws.

The entire time, Lora winced at the pain as she dragged blood through the vents. It hurt so much. She had nearly collapsed again, but stayed strong. Keeping Bonnie close, she made her way through the vents, not knowing where she was going.

Bonnie was talking frantically, obviously worried about her, but she couldn't hear his words after a while. They had been muffled by a ringing that continued seemingly endlessly. Her brain began blacking out, and she eventually made her way out of the vent without even realizing. She was in a kitchen, an enormous the lights were out, then they had turned on. Someone was there. Someone was walking towards her. It was walking towards her. It had followed her somehow.

Lora was silent as the brown monster took its final step in front of her, looming over head, huge and easily able to rip her limb from limb. Despite her dizziness, it's figure was only barely out of grasp, becoming shadowy as it grew closer, but she could still tell it was the brown one. It's arms and legs were bulky, but it's torso seemed "fat" per say. It's teeth in it's two mouths jagged, it's eyes changing from purple to an uneasy white while it's tail began to slow in motion. Lora couldn't move. It twitched and opened its mouth revealing teeth and without anymore hesitation, grabbed Lora by the neck seconds before she passed out. The pain was too intense for her to stand, for her to fight back, for her to run. For her to do anything.

And yet, she wasn't dead. Lora came to in a room completely devoid of light aside from a small creak under the door. She was on some type of bed and felt a blanket she had been tucked under. What was this? Some sort of joke? Were these things messing with her, or was this something Bonnie put together? No, it couldn't be, she was bleeding, her foot! She checked under the blanket to find her left leg was wrapped and covered by a towel kept on by tape. The towel was old and after awhile, extreme pain came. The towel was ice cold and her leg burned as if it was next to the sun. She toughed it out but again came close to crying. She had never been this badly hurt she thought as she got up.

Walking was painful and the hard floor didn't help. Somehow Lora had lost her shoes, but she still had her right sock and the tape covered her left foot. She searched for a light and after minutes of feeling for something, she felt something huge. It felt like, she backed away, falling to the ground. She yelled and reeled in pain as the back of her foot seemed to yell with her. After a while, she managed to stand and found the person lacking of a head, so she continued her search for a light, now feeling quite dumb.

Lora realized that the room was quite small as she found the light. It was above the bed she had rested on. The room's lights were quite bright. With such little time here, Lora had become used to dim, barely working lights. She looked over at the "body" she had felt to find. It indeed lacked a head and seemed to be an animatronic. An animatronic...

That's when Lora realized, if the blue monster was Bonnie, the brown one was Freddy. As Lora put a name to each of the monsters, she realized that she was missing one. "Wait, then where's Chica?" She wondered aloud. The red and orange monster was Foxy, the blue was Bonnie, the brown was Freddy, but where was Chica? She gained even more questions, what happened to Bonnie before? Wait, where was Bonnie???

"Bonnie?!? Where are you?!?" Lora echoed through the little room. Bonnie was no longer with her, instead she had a new plushie she noticed only after searching for Bonnie. It sat in an opening in the wall, a brown plushie with a black tie and a top hat. It's eyes were closed, and they didn't open no matter what Lora did. Under the plushie was a napkin with a picture of Freddy Fazbear and the words "Remember To Say THANK YOU!" In bold. Confusion set in. While this proved she was right about who was who, why in the world would Freddy, who tried to kill her twice, save her when he was right next to her? He could've eaten her easily, a huge chomp and she'd be gone. What was going on in this place anyway? So many questions buzzed in her mind, and for once no one was there to answer them. Freddy wouldn't speak, Bonnie's nowhere to be seen, Foxy's trying to kill her, and who knows, maybe Chica will to if she's here too.

After a short mental freak-out, Lora took a deep breath and came down to a realization. She couldn't stay here. She would have to leave eventually, there was no food, no water, nothing. She would have to find something outside, or find a way out of here. First though, she needed to find Bonnie. Freddy wasn't exactly helping, so it was time for a much needed reunion. She clenched "Freddy" closely and began crawling.
