We were left to rot for years, until the summer of '96. About 9 years after our dad left us, our uncle, Uncle F, took us in.
"Hey kid, you're Vincent's kids aren't you?" Uncle F asked me. I was sitting on the sidewalk with Parker. "Yeah, and what's it to ya?" I asked. He responded, "I'm his brother, your uncle." Boy was I pissed off, I didn't show it, but I was. "Our uncle? You kidding me, right?" He looked at me a bit surprised, but at the same time, he wasn't. "Yeah, your father left you back in '87 didn't he?" He replied. At the time I was surprised he knew about that. "Yeah, he did, left us with nothing, I had to raise my brother alone," I said. "Well, I'm sorry about that, but I'm here to take you in," He said.
"Yeah, well that's great, because I'm tired of dealing with Parker here," I said. Parker looked at me, "I'm not THAT bad!" He said. "YEAH you are," I said. Then Uncle F immediately stopped the argument, "HEY, lets not start this up, now let's go," he said getting in his truck. "Oh yeah, sure, Parker let's go," I said as I got in the truck. "Okay," Parker said following me into the truck.
Now at the time I was an adult, 18 years old and Parker was 11. Now I didn't intend to stay with Uncle F for long, but I stuck around for a bit just so I can get on my feet, get a job, do something. Its been 9 years since '87 when our dad left us, like father, like son. I've killed people in my mid to late teens, I've first murdered someone when I was 14. I killed them for money so I could pay for Parker. I didn't even try to rob the guy, I just killed him, no questions asked, I covered up my tracks pretty good, the police never caught me. Anyways, 5 months have passes since Uncle F took Parker and I in. I've got a job at the same place my dad worked at, Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria. I worked the night shift as security. Now believe it or not those kids my father killed, they possessed the characters there, Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy. So at night they tend to 'wander' a bit, usual between 12 to 6 in the morning. Those little bastards have gotten close, but I was smarter than them.
"Hey Peter, did you get your paycheck yet?" Uncle F asked me. "Um, nah not yet, why?" I responded. "Just wondering, I need help paying some bills." He said. "Uncle, I have some money still, I can help pay $500 if that helps," I offered, I always helped Uncle F pay the bills, he worked the day shift at my job. "Yeah that'll help Peter, thanks." He said. "Yeah no problem F," I said as I quickly handed him the money. "So where's Parker at?" I asked. "He's sleeping," He responded. "Alright, thanks." I said as I went to Parker's bedroom to wake him up.
"Hey, buddy wake up," I said waking him up.
"What is it Peter? I was sleeping." He said kinda complaining.
"C'mon I wanna show you something, get dressed." I said as I walked out the room and wait for him. It took him about 6 minutes to come out the room.
"So what did you want to show me Pete?" He asked, Parker always called me Pete as a nickname from time to time, I never minded it.
"Just follow me," I said as I walked outside and got in my car letting Parker in. I drove to a mountain trail that was a little ways away. This was the same mountain our dad used to take us to in the early 1980's. I loved hiking this mountain, sadly Parker has never been on this mountain until now.
"Whoa, Pete where are we?" Parker asked.
"It's a mountain, that's all you need to know," I said. So Parker and I started hiking up the path up the mountain. It was a quiet walk that was for sure, all you could hear was the sounds of nature. I liked it that way, so I can get a break from my life every now and then. We eventually arrived about halfway up the mountain where you could see over the town. "Wow, this is great!" Parker said as he looked at nothing else but the view. I didn't reply to him, there was no point in doing so.
We heard a man behind us, I turned around to face him.
