Five Nights with the spirit of Golden Freddy

Kayla was breathing heavy as she gripped her flashlight tighter in her hands. This was a mistake, it was just supposed to be minimum wage, non life-threatening job for a little extra cash, not running around the building evading killer animatronics. She heard a plate clatter to the ground, she carefully raised her head to glance over the countertop to see the yellow duck, Chika, moving around. She ducked back down and covered her mouth.

The animatronic shifted it's head, she could tell by the sound of the gears turning. It cawed and started clambering towards her. She screamed and started running towards the security room, she was chased out of there by Bonnie only minutes prior.

The guy on the phone warned her about this, but she thought it was an elaborate prank. She had to survive until the end of the shift, 6:15 AM. That's when the other guard would come in and relieve her. Unless she was stuffed inside a Freddy Fazebear suit and found dead the next day. She jumped into the office and slammed the door shut, dropping the heavy steel plate behind her. Chika squawked and slammed the glass window. The other door was still wide open, Kayla slowly crept out from under the desk, a tendency any 19 year old in this situation would do. She smashed her hand on the button for the door, closing it as Bonnie leapt for her from the blind spot. It was a narrow miss. She fell onto her backand closed her eyes. Why did she have to pick this job?

This was the first night of seven. She crawled back under the desk. She checked her watch 2:53 AM. The power generator wouldn't even last this long. She looked out at the room, the stuffed golden teddy bear that was a little taller than her. tears were spilling down her face as she crawled her way to it. She cuddled up next to it. It wasn't really soft, but it wasn't as bad as the floor. She cried into it's velvety fur and squeezed it tight. She stayed like that for a minute before picking herself up and grabbing the security pad. She flicked through the cameras. Chika was in the kitchen, Bonnie in the party room, Freddy was unmoving and Foxy was poking by the curtains in the Pirate's cove. She sighed wearily and crawled back to where the bear was. She stopped and dropped the pad. It had vanished. She spun to see it towering over her. She screamed as the giant paw covered her mouth. It's black emotionless eyes seeming to peer into her soul. A tear leaked from her eyes onto the towering...animatronic? She noted that it seemed to be slumping. I collapsed to the ground in front of her.

She fled to the back corner of the room as it tried to crawl towards her. It put a paw on her leg, "it's me..." it groaned in a mechanical voice.

Kayla winced, as it touched her, pulling her down as it came close. It placed a paw on the side of her face gently, as if to wipe away her tears.

"Please don't kill me," Kayla begged, knowing that it's goal was the same as the other animatronics.

It turned it's head as it's voice became more defined, that of a little girl's, "why kill?"

Kayla blinked, "what?"

"Why kill? Why cry?" it asked, it's voice becoming more like hers.

"The phone guy, he said that you would stuff me in a suit."

The Golden Freddy attempted to laugh, "Not you. I won't hurt you. I protect you! You hide inside of me!"

"What?"

"You wear me. I have no exoskeleton. You pretend to be my exoskeleton! Other kids won't attack you!" Golden Freddy exposed her back and tried pawing at a seam.

Kayla was nervous and fearful as a Zipper was revealed, "what are you?"

"My name is Gina! I was killed by the purple man years ago! He keeps coming back so we try to kill him, he stabbed Frankie, Brian, Carly and Francis's eyes out. They can't tell the difference of anyone over about your height," she sounded chipper.

Kayla was still tense as she pulled open the zipper, no dead body inside, "are you sure you won't kill me?"

Gina's voice sounded exactly like Kayla's now, "uh-huh! We're friends now, aren't we?"

Kayla slowly nodded as she slid her leg in. It was surprisingly comfortable as it seemed to hug her leg and tighten around it. She put her arms in next before sliding her head and the rest of her body into the suit. It started to zip itself up somehow, confusing Kayla. Gina's body tightened a little and form fitted the inside to Kayla's body. She took a sharp breath as she became accustomed to the inside of the creepy ghost child's odd body. She breathed through the stitching as Gina and Kayla moved their legs and arm.

A resounding drone went through the building as the power shut off. The doors slid open as a needle jammed into Kayla's neck.

She grimaced as she felt a jolt of electricity run through her.

She shook her head as she fell to her knees. Gina's voice entered her mind, "it's so that way we work better! Your nerves are connected to the wires now," she explained.

Kayla thought for a moment, she stepped out into the hallway, Foxy came sprinting down the hallway, stopping short just of the two. Foxy stared at the two.

Something flashed in Kayla's mind, she didn't so much as hear it with her ears as she did by her mind.

"Did you get him? The Purple guy?" he asked.

Kayla's eyes widened behind the mask, "no, I choked, he got away," Gina and Kayla replied, Kayla's voice sounding like an odd mix of her own and Gina's.

Foxy's metallic form slumped, "we have to kill him and keep him dead or he'll do what happened to us to other kids."

"I know," Gina replied, Kayla involuntarily using her mouth to verbally say the words.

Foxy slammed his metal hook into the wall, "dang it! We have to find him and kill him for good. I don't know how he survives us shoving him in the other Fazebear suits with as many sharp things are in there."

"Don't worry, It'll be fine," they responded.

Kayla tensed up as she felt Gina ruffled through her mind, as if searching for something, analyzing how her brain worked. Foxy snarled and ran back down the hall. Kayla mentally reached out to Gina.

"What are you doing?" she asked, unsettled that her mind was being played with.

"Growing up. From your mind, it's called analyzing your thought patterns and brain waves. It's intriguing, I wish I was like you," Gina admitted.

A soothing calm washed over Kayla as Gina flowed through her.

Kayla's mind hummed, "just don't mess my brain up."

"I won't. Just adapting to the times," Gina informed her, "Our killer is dead?"

The last part threw Kayla through a loop, Gina started searching her mind for new related to this place. The killer died in a shootout while wearing one of the suits, the animatronics were moved. A series of murders at the restaurants, countless lawsuits.

Gina understood what she had done. What they all had done. Kayla tried to mentally hug the girl who's mental age had grown to around Kayla's.

"Kayla, can I leave with you. I don't want to be here anymore."

Kayla was shocked, "I can't just take a suit home!"

Gina brought the arms of the suit around their chest, "I don't want to be Golden Freddy anymore."

Kayla felt a tear slide down her face, Gina was crying.

The two stood there, one internally comforting the other. The world around them blurred as they appeared in the storage room.

"What was that?" Kayla asked as she turned the head.

Gina answered back quickly, "I've been able to do that since I died. I was electrocuted as he stabbed me."

They waited for a few hours in silence, gaining a better understanding of each other.

"Can I stay inside you?" Gina eventually asked.

Kayla smiled, "Sure, thanks to you I survived."

"No, you saved me. I don't want to kill innocent people anymore."

Kayla smiled, "alright, just stay inside me, if that makes any sense."

With those words and 6AM fast approaching, Kayla got out of the Golden Freddy suit with little effort. She stretched a bit as digits on her watch turned to six. She still felt Gina within her mind, feeling relieved, but not passed on.

"Wait a second," Kayla said aloud.

"What? What's oh, crap."

"We still have four more nights."
