The Broken Loop

Pov: Third Person, Michael Afton
_____

Michael was panicking, he was used to this, but it felt like this was the calm before the storm. Like the big test was something more than what it originally seemed.

As he focused on his tasks and staying alive, he let his mind wander, piecing together what he can.

The animatronics came here for a reason, they were lured here. The location of the building also seemed familiar to him, he felt like it was where Fredbear's Family Diner once stood. Where everything began. Where the Bite happened.

He tried to forget that day, tried to push it out of his memory, forget the screams and the pain. But he couldn't. Just like the children couldn't forget their murders, just like his father couldn't forget getting springlocked.

Just like Henry couldn't forget the death and disappearance of both of his children. He remembered watching Henry as he spiraled into an almost-madness.

Henry.

Michael froze, there was only one person who could possibly want everyone  in one place. Only one person who would lure them all back.

At first he thought it was just Fazbears being a shady business, but there was only one person he knew that owned Fazbears, the original founder of the company, who sold it and vanished without a trace; Henry.

He was so deep in the that he barely registered the animatronic in his office until it was right in front of his face, the animatronic was the bear made entirely from melted together parts.

"OH MY GOD!" Michael fell backwards out of his chair, cursing as the final task of the day got completed.

"You played right into our hands." A voice spoke from the speakers, it sounded exactly like the clown; Circus Baby, one of the animatronics from the rental service who scooped out Michael's organs and used him as a skin suit until he rotted.

"Did you really think that this job just fell out of the sky for you?" The animatronic continued from wherever she was while Michael flashed his flashlight into one of the bear's eyes before he zapped it with the company issued taser he stole from the salvaging room.

"No. This was a gift for us. You gathered them all together in one place. . . Just like he asked you to."

No. You likely followed me here. Michael thought as he zapped the bear a second time, causing it to scream loudly before it retreated into the vent it came from.

"All of those little souls in one place. Just for us. . . A gift."

Michael stood up, confused, unsure what she was talking about until he remembered about the pizzeria and the families who were likely still inside.

When he realized this, he immediately went to leave his office. He tried to turn the door handle but it wouldn't budge. He then attempted to push and pull the door, but to no avail. It remained shut.

Damnit. Wish I had muscles.

"Now we can do what we were created to do. And be complete! I will make you proud, Daddy!" She continued as he gave up trying to open the door. Instead, he turned around to look at his monitor, noticing that the fans had turned off and that the temperature was beginning to rise.
