Chapter 8

Mangle's Pov:


Mangle headed straight for the Game room and got into place in front of the camera. She smiled down at Balloon Boy, who was still standing at the corner of the room. The humanoid animatronic winked up at Mangle.


The familiar tinkle of the music box echoed down the halls as Jeremy wound up the music box.


At 1:00am, Mangle moved to the hallways to see Foxy was still there. She jumped up on the wall beside him and waited for Jeremy to see them.


This time round, the night guard was prepared and didn't even jump in surprise when he saw Mangle there. He only muttered a small, "Hey Mangle. Nice to see you've come to join the party."


Then he flashed the light a few times and brought the monitor up to wind up the music box. When he put it down, Mangle had changed positions and edged closer to the opening to the office.


"Mangle... Stay!" Jeremy pointed his index finger straight at Mangle and glared at her.


Mangle almost laughed out loud. I am no dog. I will not listen to you.


Fox appeared again in the hallways and Mangle smiled, he was going hard on Jeremy tonight.


Mangle eventually crawled away and was almost immediately replaced by Old Bonnie. She winked at Old Bonnie as they passed and Old Bonnie brought his hand up to show he was giving a 'thumbs up' to her. At least Old Bonnie was being friendly.


It was 3:00am.


Old Bonnie made his move in front of the camera.


A light chuckle passed around the animatronics of the resturant when Jeremy squeaked in fear and threw the mask on and cowered in his chair.


Old Bonnie was gone quickly but after 10 minutes, he was replaced by Old Chica. This time, Jeremy was more prepared but he still yelped and put on the mask, breathing heavily.


Mangle crawled through the vents and poked her head out into the office. Jeremy scowled and put on the mask his confidence returning and muttered, "I told you to stay. Bad foxy."


When Mangle left, however, she heard him let out a deep sigh of relief and continue checking the lights and monitor.


Old Bonnie appeared again a couple times and Old Chica followed closely behind. By 5:00am it was Old Freddy's turn.


The big brown bear started off in the hallway, edging closer and closer... Jeremy tried putting on the mask and flashing the light. He even tried hiding under the desk but eventually came up when he realised that would only get him killed.


When he rose from the desk, Old Freddy stood tall inside the office, staring down at Jeremy.


If the night guard slipped up now, all would be lost.


He fumbled desperately for his mask but his hands were shaking uncontrollably. It was obvious to Mangle as she watched from the hallway that Jeremy was terrified of Freddy.


Jeremy slipped on the mask and hugged his knees to his chest and whimpered softly. He knew he had messed up.


Old Freddy locked gazes with Mangle and Old Bonnie, who had appeared earlier, and silently asked them if he should kill Jeremy. This never happened before. Usually he would just kill the night guard but Mangle knew he had a slight hesitation to do so.


Mangle shook her head at Old Freddy. She had grown to like the new night guard. He was smarter than the rest so it was more fun to scare him and she didn't want to kill him just yet...


Old Bonnie shrugged and Old Freddy nodded, decision made. He turned back to Jeremy to see he was still shaking. He sighed silently and left through the hallway, glancing across at Mangle and Old Bonnie as he passed.


A few minutes passed and the clock chimed 6:00am.


Jeremy got up and out of his seat and hurriedly left the resturant, not looking back to find he had left his phone behind.


Mangle stepped into the office hesitantly. She had never gone inside the office that much, only one or two times. She felt like she was intruding but she shrugged off the feeling and examined the phone.


It was small flip-phone. She picked it up but she accidentally hit a green button. A soft ring started and Mangle brought it to her ear to listen harder. The ringing continued until someone answered, "Jeremy it's 6 in the morning. You better have a good excuse for this."


Mangle stayed silent, unsure what to do. She finally found her voice and whispered, "Um, this isn't Jeremy... He, uh, left his phone on the desk."


"Who is this?" The voice replied quickly, worry clear in his voice.


She answered slowly, "This is... Mangle from Freddy Fazbear's Pizza." her voice faltered slightly. This was her first, ever phone call and she wondered if this person would know who she was.


The voice stayed silent now, most likely shocked that an animatronic as messed up as her could actually call someone and talk. Finally, he answered, "Well... I'll come over when the resturant opens and pick up Jeremy's phone for him. And it's Jace, by the way.. The one that partially fixed you.. Good to know that animatronics are able to use phones too." a light chuckle sounded and then Jace said, "So, Bye." And the line went dead.
