Puppet Master

Chapter 1

"Vincent..."

"Vincent!"

"Wake up."

"Vincent, WAKE UP!"

Vincent awoke startled and angered. "WHO DARES TO DISTURB MY SLUMBER?"

"It's just me dude," Scott towered over his half-asleep brother and grinned widely. His blonde hair hung loose in front of his face and his green eyes shimmered brighter than ever. "I've never heard you say that before."

"Oh...um, yeah," Vincent pushed Scott away and jumped out of bed. He had nothing else to respond with. Maybe he was dreaming of a being a giant beast or something. Maybe he was dreaming of waking up a talking dragon.

"You used a British accent the second you woke up. Are you ok?" Scott strained to keep from laughing.

"Yeah I'm fine," Vincent rushed to his closet and picked out a purple polo shirt and navy blue jeans. "Leave so I can get dressed."

Scott obeyed and dashed out the bedroom. Vincent changed into the casual clothing and fixed his messy hair. He had brown hair that was slightly longer than his brother's, but he thought it was fabulous   :3

Vincent slapped on a red bow tie and headed downstairs to the living room. His mind raced in sync with his fast-moving feet. Today's the big day, he thought.

Today, my dad will achieve his goals. Opening his own restaurant.

Vincent casually walked by as Scott swallowed a whole pancake. He swallowed it. Without chewing. Vincent stared wide-eyed and horrified at his brother. Scott only laughed and let out a long, satisfying burp.

"I...what...but how...?" his brother was dumb-founded.

"Amazing right?" Scott seemed proud of swallowing a whole pancake as he did the Superman pose and flared a bright smile. Vincent slowly backed away into the kitchen, traumatized.

"Mornin, Vinny!" Vincent spun around and faced his mother. With her long blonde ponytail, flower headband, and a floral dress, you could tell she was obsessed with flowers.

"Morning," Vincent yawned and stretched out to embrace her. She hugged back and immediately handed him a plate of scrambled eggs and pancakes. Vincent gave the pancakes the death stare as he recalled Scott shoving one down his throat a few seconds ago.

"Eat up quickly. We have to be at the place by 9:00."

Vincent seated himself next to his demented brother on the living room couch. He never looked away from Scott.

"What?" Scott noticed Vincent's stare and acted as if nothing had happened.

"N-nothing," Vincent turned away and pretended to ignore him. How did he do that? He thought.

"We're here!"

Vincent, Scott, and their mom all exited their minivan as they arrived at a seemingly huge restaurant. The doors were large and red, the exterior walls orange, and everything was studded with bright yellow lights. A sign towered over the entrance, exclaiming "Freddy Fazbear's Pizza."

"Yep, this place definitely screams BORING," Vincent sighed. His mom lightly smacked him and he winced. "Ok fine. I was just kidding."

They stepped into the building and Scott's eyes immediately widened with excitement. The first thing he noticed was the show stage. 3 robots stood still in place. A purple bunny, a yellow chicken, and the leader of the trio: a brown bear. The layout of the room was oddly similar to a pizzeria that Scott had been to before. It was so familiar....

"HAHA! The rabbit looks stupid!" Scott's thinking process was interrupted by Vincent's loud and mocking voice. "I can't even tell what gender it is!"

"I think it's a boy," Scott muttered quietly. He examined the animatronic carefully and noticed a small detail. "Hey, you have matching bow ties!"

Vincent looked down at his red bow tie and also realized that the purple bunny had the same exact one. "Wow....creepy."

A shadowy figure emerged from the corner of the show stage. "Hey kids. Welcome to Freddy's Pizza."

Vincent and Scott ran up to the figure and hugged it tight. "Dad!"
