Previously: He looked at me like he knew exactly what I was talking about. "That's happened with me and Chica before... I thought that it was just me, cause I've asked the other night guards and nothing like that has ever happened to them. You're the only other one..."

I looked over at Mark. "I'm the only other one?.... I hope that doesn't mean what I think it does..."

"I was just thinking the same thing... " Mark sat down in the chair once again and checked the cameras. I checked the doors really quick and it seemed as though everyone was gone so I opened any doors that were down and looked over at the clock... 5 am. The power meter was down to 10%... this wasn't looking good. 

I walked behind Mark and noticed another change in the scenery.... when the camera for the backstage area came up I jumped back. All of the spare heads for the animatronics were facing toward the camera and staring straight at me. I quickly shut the cameras off. "I don't like this at all...."

"You're not the only one..." Mark switched places with me and checked the doors really quickly. He had to shut both doors as both Chica and Bonnie were there. Staring inside through the windows... Chica tilted her head at Mark and kept her eyes fixated on him, while Bonnie was doing the same with me.

Both Mark and I were staring back at the animatronic staring at us as we backed into each other. We stayed back to back continuing to watch as we heard the power shut off. 

I reached slightly behind me and held onto Mark's hand. He held my hand back as we stayed as still as possible. I noticed Bonnie look toward Chica and then leaned over slightly to look at Mark. His head looked down and then back to Chica. 

I closed my eyes and did my best to take a calm deep breath. When I opened my eyes again the lights flickered, words appeared, and seemed to float in mid-air saying "It's me." I squeezed Mark's hand at the same instant he squeezed mine... I think he may have seen exactly what I saw.

My eyes were so wide I felt like they were about to pop out of my head. I kept my eyes fixated on Bonnie as he stepped closer. Then I heard Freddy laugh off in the distance. Bonnie turned around once he had heard that and started to walk off. The carousel music started to play and that's when I heard the chime of the alarm that I set for 6 am. 

The power turned back on and I turned around to Mark. He nodded and we proceeded to get our things and the notes we took about the things that changed throughout the night. 

We both clocked out in silence and before we went out of the building we both walked over to the main stage. I looked at Bonnie while he looked at Chica. We walked out in silence. Mark locked the door and walked over to his car with me following close behind. 

He opened the door for me and I got in putting on my seat belt and sitting there. Mark did the same and sat there. I looked over at him and opened my mouth to say something, but the words weren't coming to mind. He reached for my hand to hold as I reached for his. Our fingers intertwined and I looked deeply into his eyes. I did my best to put on a brave face as per the usual, and I could tell that he was doing the same for me. 

I have to say that after the events of that night I don't think that we could have gotten closer. There were still 2 more nights ahead of us and we both had someone that we had lost to whatever happened here. We both wanted to find out what occurred back then. We wanted to know what happened to our childhood friends. We had a piece of the puzzle that we weren't allowed to know as kids. 

What exactly happened to them? What happened to their bodies? Why did both Bonnie and Chica react that way to me and Mark? Was there a connection?

I had all of these thoughts kept cycling through my mind as Mark drove me to my place. I'm sure they were going through his mind as well. He parked and turned off the car and we sat there for a good 3 minutes in silence trying to figure out what to say to each other. I finally broke the quietness of the car."Tonight was one of the weirdest nights of my life..."

"You're telling me. I've never had anything even remotely like that happen to me before." I opened the door and held it there for a moment. 

"Do you want to come in again? We can talk more about what we saw." I looked over to him and all he could do was nod and open the door. He locked up his car while I opened my door. I looked back to make sure Mark was behind me and sure enough, he was. I went to the kitchen as soon as I set my stuff on the coffee table. I grabbed my box of Cheez-its and my cheesy poofs along with 2 cans of my favorite soda and returned to the living room where Mark was sitting there with his head in his hands. "Hey, Mark... Would you like a snack?" I say setting what was in my hands down in front of him on the coffee table. I sat down next to him and gently rubbed his back. "Don't worry. You have someone here who understands what's going on. I'm going through the same thing."

"I know... it's just so..."

"Overwhelming... I know what you mean..." I thought out loud. I didn't know what else to say at that point in time so we sat there and kept reading the 2 notes we took over and over again.

"I'm starting to get tired. I know that we haven't been dating all that long.... but would you mind cuddling with me?" I looked over at Mark, slightly shocked that he would ask exactly what you were going to.

"I don't mind one bit. Just know that I do toss and turn a lot and I do have a lot of nightmares..." He looked at me and nodded. 

"It looks like we have more in common than I initially thought." Mark smiled as he said this. He got up and stretched. I got up and showed him where my room was and excused myself so I could change in the bathroom into my usual pajamas. 

I exited the bathroom and went into my room. He was sitting on the edge of the bed with his shirt off and his head in his hands once more. "You ready for bed Mark?" I did my best not to blush at his wonderful muscles. I didn't do a very good job I think cause Mark smiled at me and blushed himself. He got up and got under the blanket, getting comfy. 

"Yeah. Let's talk about what happened more when we get up. I already set my alarm so we're good to pass out."

I got into bed next to him under the covers and as soon as I got in, he wrapped his arm around me. "Good night Mark."
