...
"Marigold..."
...
.....
...
Marigold's ear twitched. She slowly opened her eyes, standing in, what can only be described as a void. The only light source was her aura around her.
...
"Marigold..."
...
She turned around, startled. Something or someone is calling out to her. She is hesitant to follow the distant voice, but makes her way towards the voice cautiously. Walking on the ground in this weird place reverberated like water, but it wasn't wet. She soon feels herself get frozen in place by an unknown force, she starts to panic and squirm with no success in escape. "Don't be afraid, Marigold..." the voice calls. The voice presents itself as a shadowy figure with white glowing eyes and teeth. "I'm here to help you..." it announces.
"What.. it's you again, why won't you tell me who you are?" Marigold says, calmly. "I apologize, Marigold, but it is important for me to not reveal my identity, it will come with great consequences..." it explains, "but truly, I mean you no harm, I want to help you." Marigold takes a moment to think, "are you still trying to help me find my sister?"
"Yes, I cannot find exactly where she is, however I have found clues that I can share with you." The shadow said. "I've found traces of her on grounds near the highway not too far from here, I've assumed when she ran from... the incident... she tracked through the woods onto the highway, but I've had no luck in finding anymore clues regarding where she may have went after she made it to the highway." 
"Isn't that where the plaza and that large circus is located?" Marigold asks.
"Yes, I believe that is correct, maybe she went to hide in one of those places?" The shadow replies.
"Yeah I wouldn't doubt it, I remember how much she loved that circus... she used to watch it all the time." Marigold said.
"Then I believe that is where you should start searching first" the shadow says. It's piercing white eyes flickered for a moment, "Ah, I'm sorry to inform but my time here is unfortunately up, but I will come back again to reveal more clues I may find, until next time, Marigold."
The shadowy figure fades into the darkness and it all goes black.
...
"Marigold....?"
...
"Marigold! Wake up!"
...
Marigold groans and slowly opens her eyes, "...huh...?"
Mari stood in front of Marigold with her arms crossed.
"Oh... good morning Mari" Marigold said, rubbing her eyes.
Mari sighed, "good morning... Marigold, it's 8 o'clock AM, you've slept in for an hour"
"Oh dear- I didn't realize, im so sorry" Marigold apologized.
"It's fine do not worry about it, honey. I'll give you some extra time to prepare and wake up" Mari smiled, and stepped out of the room.
Marigold turned all the decoration lights on and made sure everything was in place. She fixed the 'Kid's Cove' sign that was previously crooked and sighed.
Very soon after, Kid's Cove was active with kids and being entertained by Marigold, playing games, drawing, y'know kid stuff.

The place was always so lively in the daytime, the band playing their iconic songs, the children running around laughing and yelling with pizza stained faces and playing arcade games, winning prizes at the prize counter. Everyone in town loved Freddy Fazbears Pizza, it was the most popular restaurant in town. Usually the place closes around 7 PM, as to let the performers and entertainers settle down for the rest of the evening.

It's been hours later and not many people were at Freddy Fazbears Pizza since it's getting close to closing time.
Marigold was cleaning the kids' mess until she heard Mari talking with someone outside her room. She takes a peek outside and she sees Mari talking to someone she recognizes. Vivienne Fletcher, a kind kid that Marigold befriended not long ago, Vivienne always visits this place around this time to hang out with Marigold and the rest of the crew.
Vivi spots Marigold, "oh hey Marigold!!" She greets her with enthusiasm. "Oh hello Vivienne" Marigold smiles and goes to gently hug Vivi, "how have you been?" Marigold asked.
"Oh you know... the usual-" Vivi says.
"Has school been good to you?" Marigold asks.
"For the most part yea... I'm doing alright, at least I think so-" Vivi said.
"That's good, have you talked to Fabien yet?" Marigold said.
"Oh no I haven't I'll go do that now, talk to you later!" Vivi waves goodbye and runs off to the backstage.
Mari and Marigold wave her goodbye.

Mari turns to Marigold, "so, did you have that dream again?"
"what...?" Marigold took a second to remember.
"Well you woke up late this morning, I assumed you had that dream you've been telling me about for a while" Mari explained.
"Oh yeah, still about finding my sister too" Marigold said.
"Have you made any progress on finding her? Any clues?"
"Yes actually, it told me that she may be not far from here, you know the circus and plaza a few blocks away?"
"Yeah? You think she could be hiding out there?"
"Maybe, that's what that thing told me, apparently the clues it found lead in that direction so, I guess that's a good place to start"
"That is great to hear! We can go searching after hours when we can" Mari said, confidently. "Don't worry, I promise we'll find her"
"Yeah... it's been really hard these past few years- I've tried not to think too much about it though... I just wish she didn't run away" Marigold looked down and rubbed her arm.
"I know honey... I'm sure she didn't mean to, you both were so scared I'm sure. She probably feels really bad about it, don't worry about it too much okay?" Mari hugs her, "we all will try our best to help"
Marigold hugged back, "mhm... thank you, I don't know what I would do without you guys... really"
Mark smiled, "it's what family does... now go get some rest it was a long day today" she pat Marigold on the shoulder.
Marigold nodded and headed back into her room, she hopped up to her ceiling hammock and curled up, resting her eyes.
