A day later, you're in your office in the apartment complex. You're looking through the files of the tenants living in your complex. You say, "Good... Good, so far... Jack's a little late on rent. I'll have to have a word with him about that... Good... Good... Alright, so far so good. At least the majority of them have a good rep."

Your phone suddenly rings and you look to see who's calling you. It's your mom. You say, "Oh. It's my mom." You answer it and you say, "Hi, mom." From the other line your mom says, "Hello, my darling. How are you?" "Good. Really good. I'm looking at the files of my tenants at the moment." "I see. Keep it up, dear. That building is yours. You have the privilege and the right to kick anyone out if they mess up." "Yes, mom." "I wanted to see how you were. You know things aren't the same in our mansion without you." "I'm doing fine, mom. Thanks." 

You sit back in your chair and your mom says, "By the way. Is anyone living in the apartment across from yours?" You say, "No. Not yet, at least." "Good. Something came to my mind." "Name it." "Well, darling. I won't let you go without all of your designer clothes and shoes. They're still here. We'll just make that certain apartment across from you your own walk in closet." "Oh mom. It's fine. I..." "I mean it, dear. You had one here at home and you'll need one now." "Oh... okay. I'll accept the apartment across from me as my walk in closet." "Great. And I'll hire someone to put a door in the hallway close to your apartment and the empty apartment. That part is your own living space. A couple of mirrors will be put up in there, too. I want my daughter to get what she deserves. I don't care how old and how independent you are. You're MY daughter." "Yes, mom." "Good. And besides. You own that building and you're the landlady. You come from a rich family. You're your own queen there. You can do whatever you want."

After talking to your mom, you hang up and you say, "It's nice to hear from them every now and then. Wow... So, my mom will go as far as to making an empty apartment near me my own walk in closet... No surprise. She's been treating me like a queen my whole life. It's okay though. She's been great to me and I love her, no matter what. She's my mom." You continue looking at the files of your tenants.

************************************************

Later on, you're driving back to the toy factory, Playtime Co. You swore you heard something following you. Besides the giant Huggy Wuggy possibly chasing you through the vents. You were surprised that he didn't come back for you when you left. But you felt something was following you. And not Huggy.

Your radio is on. The song Breaking the Habit by Linkin Park is playing and you're singing to it as you drive down the road. You say, "Man, I love Linkin Park. So much meaning to it." (R.I.P. Chester.) You say, "I wonder if it was Mommy Long Legs that was following me... Maybe not." 

You get to the abandoned Playtime Co and you park by the sidewalk. You stop your car and you get the key out of the ignition. You get out of your car and you lock your car with your key. You find the same place you went through, which was located on the side. 

You get through and you walk towards the building. You head inside through the door where the window broke. You grab the GrabPack and you put it on. You go through some parts of the factory and you get to the same spot you heard those sounds. 

You barely get to the hole on the floor when you suddenly see something approaching you. You gasp and you back away a bit. You see something with long limbs coming at you. You fall and you scoot back. You stop and you look away. You see a pink hand and you gasp as you recognize who it belongs to.

You look ahead. There she is. Mommy Long Legs. Your favorite childhood toy, but a lot larger. A couple of feet taller... or much more since she's really tall with the long limbs. You say, "M-Mommy Long Legs?" She looks at you with those green eyes and says, "You did come back." 

You say, "I've heard about all of this on the news. That Huggy Wuggy was chasing me through the vent on my way over here, yesterday." She says, "Oh, that awful Huggy. Trying to hurt YOU." You look at her. She says, "I was hoping I'd see you again. I wanted you to notice me. What's your name?" 

You realize she's not going to hurt you and you say, "I-I'm (Y/N) (L/N)." She says, "(Y/N)... Such a pretty name." You say, "What happened to you?" She says, "I've been stuck here for a long time, (Y/N). It makes you crazy." You say, "No. I mean, how did you get like this in the first place? You couldn't have been a giant Mommy Long Legs forever." 

She says, "You really want to know?" You say, "Yeah." She says, "I was once like you. I was a normal human girl. I was a tall girl. Bullied because of it. My name is actually Molly Martin. A few girls in school bullied me for my height. Called me a giant because I was six feet tall. One day here at the factory on a fateful night in 1991... I fell into a vat. It was hot. Burning hot. I was screaming in agony and pain." 

You say, "Holy shit." She says, "I was twenty when I died... But I came back in this body. This freak of a giant toy. I vowed to harm and murder anyone who got in my way. Especially the girls who drove me to this. But it doesn't matter now. I've been here since the day I was changed into this giant form of Mommy Long Legs." 

After hearing her story you say, "Oh my god. I... I'm sorry this all happened to you. Especially the bullying part. Makes me feel bad that my friends bullied some girls. I... grew up to a rich family and was popular in school, but I never wanted to hurt anyone." 

She approaches you closer and she looks at you. You say, "One of them turned on me after I came out as a lesbian. I liked her... a lot. Her name is Melony. She showed her true colors and said some awful things to me. Homophobic crap." 

She says, "Awe. Someone like you doesn't deserve to be treated like that, (Y/N)." You look at her. She says, "Be my friend (Y/N). My special friend. Will you come back to see me more?" You say, "Well... I mean, sure. If that's what you want, Molly." 

She smiles and she comes closer to pull you in for a hug, wrapping her long arms around you. She says, "I'll be more than happy to have YOU come and see me. It gets so lonely, (Y/N). I can tell you're going to be the best." This is the beginning of Mommy's obsession with you. Little are you aware.
