A creak echoed through the pizzeria, as the rusty door was opened slowly by Mike. Looking left and right through the hall, he sighed and stepped out, Jeremy following behind.
-"I don't think there's any danger... for now." Mike sighed in relief and took several steps forward before stopping abruptly.
Jeremy had been following behind, but bumped into the back of Mike as he stopped. Looking up at the lizard, Jeremy raised a brow. "What is it?" he whispers. Mike was quiet for a while, until he tilted his head, then moved his arms. Jeremy squinted in confusion at this odd act, until he, too, spotted the mirror hanging on a wall. Blinking a few times in surprise, he began to walk closer to it.
-"huh..." he says, observing his form. He was a brown feathered bird with two red cheeks. He felt his nonexistent heart race a bit as the realization slowly took him over once again. He was trembling right in front of the mirror, until Mike came along the way.
-"Hey, I get it. I... I'm scared, too." Mike mumbles, placing a hand onto Jeremy's shoulder. "We need to figure this out, and sooner or later we'll be free from these prisons we call a body." he reassured his shorter friend, observing himself secretly as well.
Mike was a grey lizard with black eyes, purple crest, and holes all over the shell. It was obvious there was no 'body' underneath, just... an endoskeleton. He felt shivers go down his spine, tightening his grip on Jeremy's shoulder.
Jeremy looked at mike, worry in his eyes before they caught something else- a reflection in the mirror, not one of theirs but of someone else's. It was hidden in the dark, right in front of the door to the supplies room. Jeremy froze in fear, Mike had noticed the figure as well and began to slowly move his head to look at it behind them.
Once he turned- it was nothing. Absolutely nothing was behind them. "...Is this a trick?" Mike whispered angrily, and turned to look at Jeremy-
For his surprise, an animatronic was right next to the bird, their golden shell slowly turning murky green as holes and dirt decorated their entire body. The rabbit smiled, or perhaps it seemed so because of their broken mouth, but nonetheless it was terrifying.
With no words, no noise nor thinking, Mike picked Jeremy up slowly and started to run.
-"Wh- hey!" The rabbit shout in their low voice, chasing after the two, who were now screaming in panic.
Running through the halls with a broken, gory, horror animatronic chasing after you isn't the most pleasant experience, but luckily Mike and Jeremy soon found a hiding spot. They almost passed a slightly open door, but Mike saw it just in time and hopped into the room to hide, the rabbit was slower than them so they had time to take cover in case they figured to search the room. Setting Jeremy down, Mike started to look for a good spot to hide.
-"Oh god, oh god, oh god..." Jeremy panicked, looking around frantically. "In here!" Mike whisper-shouted, and pulled Jeremy along into a huge gift box. Sitting in the dark, the duo was quiet and listened closely to everything. The heavy clunking of the rabbit animatronic's feet echo in the halls, but they didn't realize to check the room. Sighing out in relief as the steps passed them by, Mike and Jeremy were soon shocked to find out they weren't alone in the room.
