Chapter 4

Roxas closed his eyes waiting for his doom, he could hear Foxy running and Freddy’s final laughter before he came into the room. Bonnie and Chica had gotten closer, although Sora seemed to still be having a good time. He then heard a different noise, the lights in the establishment came on and the animatronics started to sing.

“Yay!” Sora yelled. “They’re singing!”

What is going on? Roxas thought.

Running was heard from the right hallway and Roxas then turned and opened his eyes. Standing there, he saw a man in a purple outfit, much like the dark blue one he was wearing.

“Phew. I got here just in time.” The man looked at the two. “Right, so you two must be Sora and Roxas, as you know I used to work here until I had to take care of my child. I now work the dayshift.”

“Oh, uh… Nice to meet you.” Roxas turned back to look at Sora, he was now singing and dancing along with the animatronics. “So what shuts them off like this?”

The man thought, wondering what stops the behaviour.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

“Well they’ve never responded to direct light well. So I guess you could use a flashlight to stun them.”

Roxas sighed in relief, knowing what could stop them from coming in, even if there were lights on the building, they wouldn’t last forever.

“So I guess you turned on the power?” Roxas asked.

“Huh? Oh, yeah. I should probably move them to the back room for now, maybe close the restaurant for today. The last incident didn’t go to well for us.”

Flashback

Roxas looked over Sora on the hospital bed, he was hooked upto a drip with pills on his pillow beside him and flowers on the dresser. He had fallen into a coma one month ago, and everyday Roxas looked over him to make sure he was ok. Sometimes he thought he heard Sora moan in fear or scream, but when he looked at him he wasn’t moving his lips. He kept wondering what nightmares he would have after the incident. His mum kept telling him that Sora will be ok, but everyday he was still in this coma.

Please come back Sora, please…

End Flashback

Roxas and Sora walked into the house and each collapsed on the couches. Roxas started to wonder if the previous night guard was the same as he saw all those years ago.

Probably not, it was too long ago

Roxas pulled out his phone and texted Namine.

“Me and Sora are home now, finished early due to issues but the operator (or whoever) helped us out. Most likely no work tomorrow.”

He looked over at Sora and he saw that he was already asleep.

Well, tomorrow’s another day…
