“Uncle…” I was dumbstruck. “Why are we here?!” I asked, slightly ticked off. “Well, I wanted to ask you a question!” He answered, a little more extended than normal. “Okay…” I said, neves. “Come on inside!” He led me inside. It was so quiet. “William!” he yelled. “Yeah?” A british voice came back. “We have a guest!” Suddenly from a side room out came a very tall man wearing purple. (THE MAN BEHIND THE SLAUGHTER DUN DUN DO DOD DOD DOD DOD Ima stop now...) He saw me and we made eye contact. His blue purplish eyes sent a chill up my spine, and I felt off about him. He walked over to me, and put his hand out. I took his, and immediately noticed how cold his hand was. He shook my hand, and then turned to henry. “And who would this little doll be?” He asked. Okay, that tickled me off. Not the small comment, but the doll nickname. I felt my face get hot from anger until Henry spoke. 

“This is my niece! I was about to ask her if she wanted to work here!” I couldn't understand why he wanted me to work here! “Why do you want me to work here?!” I painckly said to him. “Well, you’ve dabbled with electronics when you were a bit younger, and I thought this might be a good chance for you to meet new people, and face your fears of robots!” He beamed. I was incredibly mad. I grabbed his collar, brought him down to my level, and said: “I got SPRINGLOCKED in one of those things not five years ago! Why would I wanna work with the things that almost killed me!?” I angrily said. I let go of his collar and looked around. I started mently going through why I should/shouldn't take the job. On one hand, I can buy my own food. On the other hand tho, Those things are walking death traps! But then again, I could find a boyfriend here. Kids are annoying tho… I overheard Henry and ‘William’ as that’s what I guess his name is talking about. “Henry, you go to your office and start working on the blueprints. I’ll keep an eye on your niece and let her know what she says.” I was silently begging Henry not to go, but it didn't work. “Alright! You have fun!” He said walking away. 
I watched as Henry walked away.

Now, it was just me and this stanger. I shifted my feet uncomfortably. I heard footsteps coming my way and looked up. He towered over me, and it was intimidating. I looked away, mainly because I didn't want him to look me in the eye again, and I wanted to seem like I didn't notice him yet. But, the fact that my tail was wagging didn’t help at all. He looked down and I know this because I could feel eyes on me. “Well, it’s wonderful the meat you. What’s your name? Mine is William Afton.” He stated. “U-Um..” I stuttered. “My name’s y/n…” I mumbled. “Hmm? I don’t think I could hear you.” I then felt a semi large hand on my check and I was suddenly looking him in the eye again. “Now, what was your name?” He asked once again. I felt my face heat up. “My name’s y/n…” I stated blankly. “A wonderful and beautiful name for a beautiful lady.” He replied. Okay, I didn't think my face could get any redder, but it did. I backed up and looked away , trying to get my red face to go away. He then asked me a question that made my blood run cold. “Would you like to see spring bonnie?” I started to back away slowly. The memories of the pain started to return after I had spent five years going to therapy. My therapist had said: ‘If someone, or something makes you uncomfortable, you have a right to say no and walk away.’ So, gulping my fear and anxiety, I stuttered out “N-no thank you.” At this point in time, I was getting close to the wall, and he was backing me up against it. 

My brain told me to yell for Henry, but my heart… had other ideas... Instead of calling for Henry, I just kept back away as he came closer. Soon, My back hit something hard and cold. I  turned my head, and my heart dropped. He had cornered me and I didn’t even realize it. I looked back to where I last saw him, and instead saw purple. I looked up and he had a smirk on his face. “What’s wrong doll?” He said, in a very seductive voice. Now I was terrified. I felt tears start to run down my face, and I knew I couldn't keep my promise to my mom. I fell to the floor on my knees and started sobbing. So much anger, so much resentment, and so much pain just came pouring out. And there was nothing I could do about it. Here I was, in front of a man I didn’t even know, sobbing my eyes out.

Suddenly, I felt two arms wrap themselves around me. I opened my eyes, and saw William hugging me. I was tense at first, but then I just clung to his shirt and sobbed. I kept apologizing over and over again, and all he did was not say ‘it’s not your fault’ or some bs like that, he just kept hugging me and rubbing my back. At that moment, I felt...Alive for the first time since mom died.
Eventually, about thirty minutes later, I stopped crying for now at least. I just needed someone to be there right now, and if it has to be Henry's friend, so be it. I just clung to his shirt as I felt some of my fears about him get stepped away. Of course, I was still cautious. I felt an arm let go, and I wanted to grab it again. But then, the arm went under my legs and I felt myself being picked up bridal style. I was so surprised that my glasses almost fell off. 
I held onto his shirt, and then looked up. His smile was there, but different in a way. I was...calming. He looked down at me and gave a soft look. I felt so calm I could fall asleep if I wanted to. I looked around, and saw we were heading towards the stage. Nothing was on the stage, I guessed they were in storage. Good riddance. He sat on the stage and then looked down at me. “I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable.” He said, breaking the silence. I sat up in his lap. “No, it just brought up bad memories, it’s okay!” I tried to reassure him. It didn’t work. “I shouldn't have pushed you like that.” He looked like a sad puppy. *Sigh* I hugged him once again. “Thank you for comforting me.” I thanked. He was about to say something, when we heard:

“Hey William do you think that- WHAT THE HELL?!?!” I spun my head around and saw a shocked looking henry. I was confused until I looked down and… 
I was straddling his waist. I fell off the stage and his lap with a tomato face. I'm internally screaming. I don’t wanna look at anyone or anything. I heard footsteps, and then a hand. I moved one of my hands and saw William with a hand racing out. I took it and got up. I felt ashamed. I couldn't look at henry. That’s when William spoke. “Henry, she started crying and I was just comforting her.” Henry then looked at me. “Y/n, is that true?” I nodded my head, hoping today would be over. “Anyways, Y/n, have you thought about working here?”

I glanced over at Will. I don’t have anyone to comfort me, and he comforts me. I’ve been needing some support. “I’ve decided..” I spoke up, getting both their attention. “I’ll...work here.” I finally answered. Henry had a big smile on his face and he walked over and hugged me tightly. “Henry…need...air…” I gasped. He let me go and apologized. We said goodbye to William, and headed out to the car. We got in and drove home. As I layed in my bed, I thought to myself: I think that this job is going to be fine.
