All Is Well in the Afton Family...

I Just Wanted To Play With Her...

*So I made a little mistake by putting in Lora's death first when I wanted it to be Elizabeth's so keep in mind this is before Lora died*

As William was working on his newest animatronics, Elizabeth was playing with her baby doll. She was having a pretend tea party with them. She glanced over at William and saw what he was making. It was absolutely beautiful. The animatronic had beautiful, red hair and ocean blue eyes while having a pretty red skirt. She also had the rosiest cheeks Elizabeth had ever seen.

"Ooooooo. She's so pretty!" Elizabeth said in an amazed whisper.

"I know." replied her father. He was working on her insides with a wrench. Elizabeth kept staring at the animatronic with her big, green eyes. Even though the endoskeleton looked rather suspicious, she wasn't minding that. 

"Daddy? Once you're finished with her, may I play with her? Please?" she asked with curiosity and excitement in her tone. William frowned slightly and swiveled his chair around to face her.

"No no no Elizabeth. She's not someone to play with. Look, you already have your dolls. Isn't that just enough?" warned William. 

"But.... look at her! She's the most beautiful animatronic out there I've ever seen!"

William didn't listen and turned back around to continue working on her. Elizabeth frowned and crossed her arms.

"Fine! I'm gonna go play with Jason. At least I'm allowed to play with HIM!" She then turned and walked away, her ginger hair moving from side to side. 

Jason was in his room, talking to his Fredbear plushie. Then, Elizabeth opened the door with a slight violence which shook the whole room. Jason startled and flinched slightly. He was a bit of a scaredy-cat at times.

"It's just me" Elizabeth said as she flopped onto the bed, still mad. Jason got up and said, "What happened?"

"Daddy doesn't let me play with her." she said with a hint of sadness. Jason looked at her nervously. Who's she talking about? he thought to himself.

"Who's 'her'?" asked Jason with a little bit of fear in his voice. Was she talking about Charlie? She was a nice person, how could William not allow her to play with her? And besides, Charlie was William's engineering partner, Henry's, daughter.

Elizabeth looked at him confusedly and sighed. "He's making a new animatronic and she's so very pretty. But he doesn't let me play with her." 

They both stared at each other in silence. Jason shivered a little. He'd always have a fear of those animatronics, even though his father told him everything will be alright. Nothing was going to change his mind. He's always had weird hallucinations about them. 

Lora called everyone for dinner. Tonight, she made mashed potatoes and asparagus. It was a strange combo but every night's dinner had something odd about it. The children didn't mind and ate away.

The next day, Elizabeth thought of a plan to go near the newly made Circus Baby. She waited until everyone else left the party room so she could finally have a chance to talk to her all by herself without others interfering. 

She finally got to see her up close. Jason also strolled along beside her while Michael was with his friends. Jason warned her not to go near Circus Baby but all she did in response was lose her temper and start bursting into tears. So Jason kept reminding himself not to interfere with Elizabeth trying to interact with Circus Baby but to keep her safe. Michael knew about Elizabeth's thirst to at least take a peek at Circus Baby but did nothing to protect her. If William said the animatronics were dangerous, then it's no lie he'd tell his children. But why were his animatronics so dangerous? It's it because of their malfunctioning or was it something to do with the program...

NO, Jason thought to himself, it can't be that way. Father loves us and he'd never program the robots to do anything harmful. But then again, he wasn't so sure about the thought. He never spent any time with his children, always working on the robots or managing money and customer service or thinking of new menu items. He was the co-worker but Henry owned the whole place. But he still got to spend time with his Charlie. Lora had a few arguments with William about how much he was distancing himself from his children but it always ended up with Lora crying at the end and having a bruise on her arm. The children were to stay in their rooms whenever they had their fights.

The children always thought of it as normal and married couples or not, everyone fights. But it never really ended with someone physically hurt, which made the children wonder what was going on.

As Jason was trailing along beside Elizabeth, he noticed her going into the party room, where Circus Baby resided. He reached out his hand slightly in order to stop her from setting foot into the room but then again, he didn't want her snapping again. So he stood there, holding the side of the door and biting his lip. He started sweating slightly, even he didn't trust the animatronics. How could his sister Elizabeth have the courage to approach something 7.2 feet tall, according to his father. 

"No one is here. I don't know why daddy didn't let me come see you. You're wonderful!" Elizabeth said to the animatronic. But then again, where were the other children? Probably in the ball pit, Elizabeth thought. She looked down at her feet then again at Circus Baby. Maybe Circus Baby knew where the rest of the children were. Her father, from what she'd seen, made very high-tech animatronics.

"Where did the other children go?" Elizabeth said looking left and right. All of a sudden, the animatronic opened up it's stomach to reveal a menacing claw which grabbed Elizabeth's waist and pulled her inside. There was a piercing shriek. Then silence. Jason's eyes widened after what he'd seen. He pinched himself 10 times to see if it was another one of his hallucinations but no. There was blood on the carpet and that was the last thing he'd ever heard from her. The rest of the family heard and rushed over to the room. Jason was standing there, pointing at the animatronic then at the carpet, his eyes wide.

Lora was the first to see. Her hand covered her mouth, her eyes as the same as Jason's. She started to sob and her knees were on the bloody carpet, her body hunching over and trembling. Michael was next to see what happened and was standing there, above all the blood with his hand, just like Lora's, covering his mouth. He started approaching his mom and put a hand on her shoulder and stroking it.

William came running over and shouting, "WHAT HAPPENED-" then interrupted by, "NO NO NO NO NO" He then started to walk over to where all the blood was and shouted, "ELIZABETH!!!!!"

Jason just stood there, watching in pure shock. He didn't want to be the next victim of the animatronic. This was it. This was true. The animatronics were way more dangerous than he thought. There was also his sister, stuck inside that animatronic, dead. Nothing was going to be the same ever again....
