Behind the Mask | Aphmau Five Nights At Freddy's

(49)

Aph's POV

"Morning." My father tiredly says as he enters the restaurant.
"Morning~" I say back before hoping into my box.
"We can talk more after we close~" I tell him before closing the lid of my box.
"Yup." I hear him reply before the sound of his footsteps fade away.

Not too long after, children are running around and I'm singing songs for those who windup my box. They're all so lovely and I can't think of a better way to spend my time.
Michael enjoys crawling around and playing with the other children. Plus it makes it so he doesn't have to stay in the box all day. He still had on the same party hat from earlier because me wouldn't let me take it off.
Seeing him crawl around and sometimes fall over makes me giggle. He even giggles himself when he does so.

As I'm singing to a kid I notice an adult a but too close to Michael for my liking. I can faintly make out the words she is speaking to the boy who looks about a year, but is only a month, old.
"Where are your Mommy and Daddy?" She asks.
Michael looks in my direction when she says Mommy.
The ladies gaze follows his and then she looks back at him confused.
"Your Mommy is over there?" She asks.

I finish the song that I was singing to a group kg kids and quickly hop out of my box and speed walk over to the lady.
"Is there a problem~?" I ask her, causing her to stand from her kneeled position.
"Yes, this boy is all alone. He's too young to he crawling around this place by himself." She says.
"I don't know why I'm telling you when you're just a stupid robot."
Her mumbling that grind my gears. Keeping my cool, I nod and look her in the eye.
"I am programmed to watch all the children and make sure they don't get hurt~ We even have a new wrist band system to help keep track of all the kids~" I look down at Michael who has a green wrist band on his tiny wrist.
"By the green wrist band I can tell he is the son of the day time security guard~ If you would like I can take him to him~" I make sure my voice doesn't sound too human like.
"Some security you are." She mumbles.
"Yes, would I be able to come with you?" She asks.
"Of course Ma'am~"

I bend down and pick up my smiling son causing him to giggle. I contain my smile and lead the women down to the security office.
"Security Guard 4225691867203987~" I knock on the metal door that only magically appears during the day to keep little kids out.
During the day the security office has unlimited power because of the whole building being powered.
The for lifts open and my father sits there with a confused look on his face.
"This Lind lady has informed me that your son has been walking around the restaurant without proper supervision~" I say.
"My son?" He asks.
"Yes, your son~" I give him a look that says, 'go with it'.
"It's very irresponsible if you ask me." The lady who I almost forgot exists says.
"Well I have all of the animatronics looking after him; especially both security puppets." He tells her.
"Those piles of junk have caused so many problems and you leg your infant son be taken care of by them?" He shoots her an empty glare.
"All of the new Toy animatronics and the puppets especially are made to see a criminal from a mile away. They also keep a close eye on all the children." He says.
"Now you raise your child and I'll raise mine." He tells her.

I can see tears form in the corner of her eyes.
"My daughter went missing here." She chokes up.
My eyes go wide for a moment as I scan her with the security software my dad was talking about. She isn't the mother of any the originals.
"My baby.........my little Hye'Jin." Now that I really look at the woman I notice she's slightly Asian. She has brown hair, brown eyes, and tears are starting to fall down her face.
"Searching for HYE'JIN~......" I say and pause for a moment as if you scan for when I've seen her before.
"Little girl that has brown hair and brown eyes~ Many of times seen starring at Toy Bonnie~ I have her a Toy Bonnie plush on her birthday~" The woman smiles.
"Just please," She says. "Keep a close eye on him." My father nods before the woman leaves him and I alone.
"Well that was something~" I mumble.
"So now I finally have that son I've always wanted?" He chuckles.
"I mean I did ask you to take them after a little while~ Kind of can't raise a child in a pizza place~" I sadly laugh.
"Well you know I'll bring them to work with me everyday." His lifeless eyes seem to be filled with some emotion that I can't place.
Not happiness, maybe.....pleasure?
"Thanks~" I smile back.
"Well I better be getting back before the kids start to ask where I am~ Take Michael and just stand out there and watch him~ Maybe start a conversation with someone~" I carefully place Michael in his arms.
"You know I can't stand people." I roll my eyes.
"Just do it~" I laugh and I walk out of his office; trusting him to be alone with my child after all those other kids he's murdered.

Hey guys I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I put a lot at risk to write this at the time I am. It's 4:24am and I'm transferring this onto here from my other phone. I can hear my dad awake downstairs and I know I'll get yelled at if he comes up here and see my light on. If he does come up here I'll just pretend to be asleep. Doesn't mean it'll work though. Anyways, if you enjoyed this chapter please vote and comment your favorite chapter so far.
Tonight? Today? It's night I guess when writing this so....
Tonight I suggest Nyx-the-Panicorn I really enjoy her writing and I think you will too.
