Part one/Part two/Part three/Part Four/Park Five

“We need to get past them,” Michael told me.

“When do they shut off?”

“Six.”

“Seriously!”

I grabbed the flashlight and opened my bag. A water bottle each, an apple, a banana, three granola bars, two knives, Mr. Afton’s keys and a yellow plush bear.

I held it out. “What. Is. This.”

“My brother’s plushie. I brought it for good luck.”

“That’s the problem,” I said, voicing a realization. “Your brother cursed us from beyond the grave.”

“I can’t say you’re wrong,” a voice from somewhere else in the room called out. I jumped in reflex. In the corner was a purple Freddy. I shined the light at him and he disappeared.

“Please god, can’t I have one good day,” Michael looked up at the sky.

I noticed the flashlight was dimmer. We’re running out of batteries. “I had fresh ones in mine.”

“Ok, I have a plan.” Michael reached into the bag and grabbed the knives. “They want me. I look like dad. I don’t know why he pisses them off, but I can find out later.” He handed me a knife. “I’ll get to the back door, you try the bathroom.”

“How do we know the window will be unlocked?”

“We don’t.” He paused. “There is a very real possibility one of us won’t make it out. And regardless, you can use the flashlight to break it.”

“What! I’m not taking it. You’re going into the back room. You take the light!”

I pushed it into his hands. He pushed it back.

“Oh my god, just take the light source, Mikey!” Purple Freddy appeared again and disappeared after calling out Mike.

Mike stared at the empty space and grabbed light.

We packed our stuff again. I checked the keyhole. The animatronics seemed to have left. We pushed the file cabinet away. We grabbed an extra weapon, a hammer for me and a wrench for Mike.

We cracked the door open and looked out.

“Three...” I counted.

Michael pushed the door open more.

“Two…”

We checked to make sure it was empty.

“One.”

Michael booked it out down the hallway.

“...Go.”

I ran into the girl’s room.

And there, between me and salvation, was Mangle.

Yes, I'm rushing to finish this.
