The Murderer's Child

The Old House

"Mornin'." Shad ran downstairs, towards Foxy. She was wearing a gray hoodie, a red T-shirt and black jeans.

"Shouldn't we be getting off to school?"

"Well... usually, yes. But today, I can't be bothered."

"So... You're skipping school?"

"No... I mean, I work the nightshift and its really not like I ever do anything in school! Anyway, they said I don't have to go, after what happened with... him... and now that I'm working. So, no. Im not skipping. Mental health break. Everyone needs one." She smiled.

"Sure..."

"Anyway!" She turned towards the stairway, ready to shout the others down, "HEY! FAZBEARS, CHICA AND BONNIE! GET YOUR LAZY BUTTS OUT OF BED!"

"Ya know, you really don't have to be so loud. I'm sure they heard you in Australia..."

"Shut up, Fox. Your just jealous that I can shout that loud."

"Only thing I'm jealous of is your ability to shout that loud and not destroy your ears..."

"Whatever..."

One by one, Chica, Bonnie and the twins made their way downstairs. Foxy was wearing a red hoodie and black jeans, Bonnie had a dark blue shirt and blue jeans, Chica had a yellow and white blouse with a white skirt, Gold had a dark yellow jacket over a faded white tshirt with faded black jeans and Freddy was wearing similar clothes, with the jacket being brown.

"Morning... Why did you tell us not to wear our uniform today?" Chica smiled, before moving past to get to the kitchen.

"We're going out."

"Out? Where? And what about breakfast?" Bonnie moved past to join Chica, who was looking through the kitchen cupboards.

"Yes, out. Shopping. And if you haven't already noticed, use that big head of yours to see if you can find any food in the kitchen, because I can assure you, Bonnie, That there is none!" She shouted, gesturing wildly towards the kitchen.

"So we need food?"

"No, Foxy. We need dinosaurs!" She yelled sarcastically, before lifting an empty cereal box from the kitchen counter and throwing it at Foxy, who dodged it. Unfortunately, that left Freddy in the path of the box. "Yes we need food you idiot!"

"Oh. Okay."

"Right! Come on. I've got my money, phone and keys." She checked her pockets for each. "Okay, lets go!"

..........
"Come on, Lazy butts or I'm gonna have to make you walk home!" Shad yelled from the bus stop.  "Hurry up, the bus's here now! geez..."

"Well not all of us can carry four bags of whatever for 2 miles."

"Well, you're here now, so hurry up! And complain again, I'll make sure this becomes a regular thing."

20 Minutes later, Shad was stood on the doorstep to the house, searching her pockets for her keys.

"Bonnie, You dont have my keys again, do you?" She asked after hearing Chica laughing.

"Pfft... What? Me? No!"

"Yeah right!" She lunged at him and tackled him to the ground, ripping the keys from his hand and walking back to the door. "That'll teach you!"

"Ow..." He began to stand up, now covered in dirt and grass from when it had recently rained, his hands bleeding slightly from where the keys had been forcefully ripped out of them, as he picked up the bags and followed everyone in. "Geez, Shad now I need to go get changed again!"

"You deserve it." She smiled at him, "Now, where are the other bags? And Freddy, come and help us unpack! Don't just wander off..."

"But he is!" Freddy pointed at Bonnie, who was half way upstairs before falling back down them.

"He needs to go get changed." Shad pointed at Bonnie, who turned to face them before slipping down the stairs.

"Ow! Yeah, don't question how I am though after I fell down the flippin' stairs!" He yelled, beginning to climb back up.

"Alright, we won't."

...

They finished unpacking everything and Bonnie came back downstairs, wearing clean clothes.

"Right then. Lets get going." Shadow pulled on her shoes and stood at the doorway.

"Going... where?" Foxy looked around, they had bought everything they needed and it was still only quarter to twelve in the morning.

"Field trip. Lets go!" She ushered them out and locked the door, securing the keys to her jeans so Bonnie didn't get them again.

They walked for about twenty minutes, across a field and quite a way away.

"Where are we going?" Chica asked again.

"You'll see..."

"Shady kid...tell us?"

She motioned that her lips are sealed, as a small building appeared, not to far away. A smile spread across her face as she pointed towards it. "If I told you, you'd probably drag me back to the house.." She smirked.

"Thats where we're going?" Freddy seemed quite confused and annoyed.

"Yup. I need to go check it out."

"What is it?" He asked, sounding bored.

"My old place."

"You mean... Af-"

"Yes. His place."

"Why do you-"

"Shush it already? I need to look round and thats all you need to know..."

She walked towards the garage first. The lock was still intact, to her surprise. Shadow carefully unlocked it and stepped inside. A thin layer of dust covered everything. The car was no longer there, but all the boxes and his tools were.

"Wait..." Shad moved a few of the boxes. They were all labeled in a worn, messy writing, but one caught her eye. Sure it was rough writing, but it unmistakably said 'kids, work and Chloe '. She pulled the box from the shelf and set it to one side.

"Im surprised the locks are still intact!" She said, opening the door and picking up the pile of boxes. She moved through the house, over to the large kitchen, where she set the box down on the counter, and prepared to open them...
