Today William brought one of his kids to work today. She was a sweet little girl named Elizabeth.

You had attempted to talk with her or try to get her to play, but she just wanted to sit at a table and have a tea party with herself. You tried to sit in the opposite seat but she yelled at you and told you her friend "Charlie" was sitting there.

You had assumed it was her imaginary friend and gave up trying to talk to her.

Meanwhile, everybody did what they always did before opening, Phil helped around with the Boseman kids and decorated for parties, and Henry and William went to work on the animatronics.

You weren't sure what was going on next door, but there were a couple police cars surrounding the pizza hut.

"Hey Henry, what's going on nextdoor?" You asked, climbing onto the stage.

"Oh- well I'm not to sure exactly. Maybe it's best we don't get into it..."

"Maybe you're right." You rested your hands and your hips. You turned around when you heard footsteps.

You saw William walking into the main room and getting onto the stage.

He looked around, confused and then groaned loudly.

"What is it this time, Will?" Henry asked

"I forgot my bloody toolbag again! Now I have to go back home and get it." He complained.

He hopped off the stage and walked towards the entrance. "Watch the brat for me, will ya? I'll be back soon."

"Oh-uh, drive safe!" You shouted righr before he left.

"I'm not a focking idiot Y/N." He yelled left without another word.

You just rolled your eyes.

-------------

A little while later, a little girl with curly golden locks burst through the door. Tears fell down her face.

"Susie?!" Elizabeth jumped up and ran towards the girl.

Henry ran towards them. You weren't quite sure what to do, so you awkwardly got off the stage and walked over.

Henry got a bench and sat both the girls down. You then noticed the blood that covered Susie's knees.

"I-I'll go get you a wet rag to clean that off!" You ran off to the kitchen and grabbed a small towel. From what you heard in the front room, something must've happened to this little girl's dog.

Lukewarm water soaked up the rag quickly. You swiftly got back to the little girl who was now sitting alone. She sulked in the chair and wiped her tears.

"Hi sweetheart..." you carefult approached.

She looked towards you and sniffled.

"Can I clean that off your knees?"

She didn't say anything and nodded sadly.

You kneeled down and began to wipe the crimson liquid off her legs.

Outside, a car door slammed which made both your heads turn.

A purple car sat outside with William walking to the front if it.

"Ugh... for focks sake." He complained.

He stared down towards the front of his car which you had just noticed was absolutely covered in blood.

Susie gasped and pushed you aside. You ran towards the door amd watched in horror.

"Oh dear God..." You felt sick to your stomach at the gruesome sight.

You got up and walked towards the entrance.

Susie started screaming at William. She pounded her little fists on his chest in an attempt to harm him. She couldve torn him apart if she had a weapon.

"I HATE YOU!!!"

William had a look in his eyes that proved he absolutely could not care less, but also looked as if he could crush someone's skull with his mind.

Susie ran back inside sobbing. You walked past her to William who was staring back towards his car.

"William, what the hell happened!?" You held your aching stomach.

"I hit the stupid brats dog with my car. " He turned towards me.

"Why!?" You yelled.

"It's not like I wanted it to happen! The dammed thing ran in the road, I couldn't avoid it!"

"You have to go apologize to her William, she just lost one of her best friends!"

He scoffed. "It's just a dog."

"But it was her dog. You may not have the same type of empathy, but she cares for animals."

"She wouldn't have know I did it if she wasn't chasing after it." He crossed his arms.

"She *watched* it happen!?" You were furious at this point.

William stopped and thought for a moment.

"Y'know what? You're right. She deserves an apology." He frowned. "I'll go say it right now, but it's better if I just go by myself."

He started to walk off towards the back entrance of the building.

"Uh-okay..." You walked back into the pizzeria.

You truly hoped he was actually going to apologize.

William pov:

I was finally going to see if I could replicate the same results I got for Charlotte. I wasn't quite sure what did it exactly, it would need more testing.

But that little brat would never even come near me after that.

I need to think.

That's it! The springbonnie suit!

I walked past Henry and Elizabeth babbling about something or other. They hadn't noticed me.

C'mon where could this little sh<t be?

I stalked around for a bit before I spotted curly haired girl in the arcade room.

"There you are." I whispered to myself.

I approached her carefully.

"Hey, kid..."

She didn't even turn to look at me.

"Little ol' Springbonnie heard through the grapevine that something terrible happened to your puppy. Is that right? Oh, how awful."

...

Nothing, not even a glance.

"But... you know, I have a little suprise to twll you. I think you might enjoy it."

I leaned down close to her.

"He's not really dead, you know."

From the reflection of the screen, I saw her eyes widen.

She finally turned towards me.

Bingo.

"He's just over here, in one of the back rooms. All patched up."

Tears still streamed down her face as her eyes somehow widened in shock even more.

"I can take you to him."

I grabbed her tin of tokens before walking off.

"Follow me."

I glanced back.

She cluched that stupid horse toy in her hands before following behind.

Perfect.
