The Murderer's Child

Zach

She had left the building and was untying her bike as Zach walked through the parking lot.

"Mornin' Shad. Everything alright?"

"Yes... Can I just ask, what happened to the last nightguard?"

"Uh... well...Um, They complained about... Conditions... So we moved them to the dayshift!" He smiled and walked off quickly.

"There is definitely something off about him..." She muttered, riding home.

...

"Right then, you sorry excuses for entertainment. She's still alive. What's she doing? You've killed everyone else. She is still alive? How?" He yelled, walking through the pizzeria, trying to find a clue.

He wandered into the office and started looking through the piles of the papers. There was one that was out of place. Very out of place.

It was a drawing of a group of 12 people, lined and mostly colored. It was well drawn and detailed. The characters were familiar, but Zach didn't know from where. He turned the page around and realised why they looked familiar.

On the back were names and a date.

'Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, Gold, T. Freddy, T. Bonnie, T. Chica, Mangle, Mari, BB and Shady, Oct.30th.'

"Has she drawn those freaks as humans? Geez, I think she's gone mad..." He took the paper back to the front desk and stuffed it into her folder.

People began flooding in, and soon after, a very familiar face appeared.

"Back again?"

"Yup. What do you need doing?"

"Do you mind fixing the Mangle please, Its in the kids corner, near the puppet thing."

"She's in the kids corner, near Marionette, you mean." Shad mumbled.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing! Just uh... Thinking... That's all."

"Whatever."

Shad left for the kids corner, and ushered the kids away from the pile of wires and animatronic devices that was Mangle.

She began untangling the wires and trying to bend them back into shape, but the kids had truly destroyed her shape.

"Geez what did they do? Kids are brutal..."

"I know. They kept taking me apart and eventually, the engineers stopped trying to fix me at the old place..." The head sighed.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't know you were active. What old place?"

"Uh... Oh for gods sake" Well, you might as well know. I was from like a rental thing... The kids there were evil and this is the result." She said, moving wires around in the vents.

"Oh?"

"Yeah... It was actually quite weird. The actual storage facility was under a house somewhere. There was this one guard as well who was... Strange. He had a lot of trouble with the hand unit there, he ended up being called Eggs by the other staff. And then he got scooped. And we were all sent out to other places. They were only found recently though. That's why I'm here!" As an animatronic, this version of Mangle was a lot calmer and quieter.

Suddenly, someone crept up to Shad and threw their hands over her eyes.

"Heya! Guess who!" A voice shouted from behind her.

"Uh... Freddy?"

"Uh... No!"

"Foxy?" She knew who it was now, but wanted to play dumb.
