I ran. I ran as fast I possibly could to get away. No matter what, I would push myself forward. Red stained my arms, making them feel sticky and stiff. Heavy pants escaped my mouth, my lungs burning from exhaustion. My little legs were beginning to give out. I tripped and fell, too tired to get up. I looked up, though my vision was blurred.

Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria

I felt a smile play across my lips as I recognized the sign to my favorite place besides home- which doesn't exist anymore, so I guess this became my favorite. As black began to take my sight, the last thing I saw was a blurred, red figure.

…

"Is she awake?" a voice asked. It sounded like a female and seemed sweet.

"Not yet, Chica. She'll wake soon," another said. This one was deep. Like a public speaker- filled with courage and confidence.

"I wonder what her name is… Oh, I'm so excited!" Chica whispered happily.

"I wonder if she likes music?" a different voice said. This one sounded like an adolescent boy, cracking and switching pitches.

"You two are so curious," another voice said. This one was deeper and sounded like a pirate. I stirred, lightly groaning. I felt bandages on my arms and what seemed to be a mattress underneath me felt soft. I opened my eyes to see four people. Their attention was immediately set on me.

"She's awake!" the girl said excitedly. She seemed to be Chica- the only female of the four. Her hair was cut short and her eyes were a soft violet. She wore a short, yellow dress with a white bib that said Let's Eat!

"Ah, hello, lass," the tallest one said. He had long, red hair that went every-which-way and soft golden eyes- well, eye since one was covered by a black eyepatch. He had a tattered outfit and long coat with gold trim. His voice matched the pirate-like one. "My name is Foxy. I'm the one who found you."

That's why the red hair seemed so familiar to me.

"I'm Chica," the girl introduced herself with a kind smile.

"I'm Bonnie!" a boy said. He had a purple vest with a red bowtie. His hair- also purple- went down to his shoulders and thick black glasses were placed on his freckled face. His green eyes shined in delight. His voice matched the adolescent one.

"I'm Freddy," the last one said. He had an outfit similar to Bonnie's yet the colors were vastly different. His bowtie was black and his outfit was brown. His short, brown hair curled around his face. His blue eyes showed a look of concern.

"H-Hello," I stammered, my voice small- especially since I had just ran quite a few miles away from the house I used to live in.

"Freddy, get the gal some water for her throat," Foxy ordered. He nodded and left down a hall. Foxy looked back towards me.

"Lass… Do you have any family at all?" he asked. I shook my head.

"P-Parents… Dead…" I rasped. He frowned, obviously not liking the answer. As things were piecing themselves together in my head, I realized something. "A-Aren't… you all… a-anim… anima… robots…?"

"Animatronics?" Bonnie chuckled, "Why yes, but we can turn into flesh and bones after hours."

"Oh…" I said, still a bit confused. Freddy soon came back in with a glass of water. He handed me the glass and I drank slowly, each sip hurting as I swallowed. I rubbed my neck and grimaced.

"Hm…" Foxy said, thinking through something, "Freddy. Follow me."

Freddy nodded and followed him, their whispers fading as they walked down a hallway.

"So… What's your name?" Chica asked.

"N-Nala," I responded.

"Awe! That's adorable," she gleamed. I giggled softly. I took a few more sips and yawned.

"Go ahead and rest, Nala. You've probably just been through alot," Bonnie said. I nodded and handed him my cup. I lied down and fell asleep.

…

I awoke in a strange room. It was much different than the one before. The walls were purple and the shelfs had various dolls. I shivered, obviously terrified of them. Dolls always gave me the creeps. The door squeaked open and I could see a violet eye look in. Realizing I had awaken, Chica's head popped in.

"How you doing so far, Nala?" she asked.

"G-Good. Just… those dolls. They freak me out," I said, hesitantly looking at them.

"C'mon," Chica said, opening the door a little for me. I got up, my legs still a little sore. I limped out the door, Chica helping me towards the living room. Three familiar heads turned to look at us. Bonnie smiled widely.

"Sleep well?" I nodded. I slowly limped up to the couch, Chica helping me up. She sat next to me.

"So, lass…" Foxy began, "You don't have anywhere to go because your parents passed. How so?"

"Tall man… k-killed them," was all I said, shaking from the memory. They all looked at each other, worry plastered on every one of their faces.

"Alright…" Foxy said, stroking his stubbled chin, "I've talked with Freddy and we've decided you can stay."

I gasped and smiled.

"This is a first for us. We've never taken a child in like this before," Freddy explained, "So, I apologize in further notice if we seem a little inexperienced."

"Well, it shouldn't be that hard. I mean, we deal with kids every day, right?" Chica said.

"Right, but this is a bit different. Nala is our responsibility until she's older," Freddy told her. Chica looked at the clock.

"We'd better show Nala around before it's time," she said. Foxy nodded and got up. He led me out to his opened the purple, starry curtains to reveal a large dining room. Party hats were somewhat neatly placed, some crumpled up. The stage had cardboard balloons on a white-ish background. There were purple curtains with golden ties to hold them open. A red, snake-like guitar sat at the far left, a microphone in the center, and a table with a pink cupcake on the right.

I turned my attention to a door that read:

Employees Only

"Now, lass, that isn't a place for you alright?" Foxy asked. I nodded and continued examining. I spotted two halls. I wondered where they led to.

"Where do they go?" I asked Foxy.

"To an office. You aren't allowed there either," he responded, "We'll show you more later tonight, okay?"

I nodded as he led me back inside the living room.

"Chica, please go fetch the young gal some food. Bonnie, find entertainment. And Freddy, keep an eye on her while I check everything outside," Foxy ordered. Everyone dispersed besides Freddy and I.

"So, Nala," he began, "Do you like it here?"

"Yeah!" I said, my voice obviously sounding better than before. My throat still throbbed when I swallowed, though. "This was my favorite place to eat, actually."

"That's cool," Freddy smiled. Nala noticed he didn't have a top hat on- like before.

"Where's your hat?" she asked. He pointed to the table behind her where it was sitting.

"Don't want hat head before the show," he chuckled. Soon, Bonnie came back with a few plushies that replicated each of them and a couple books. I noticed a golden one that looked like Freddy.

"Not that one, Bonnie," Freddy said sternly. He had noticed it, too.

"Sorry," Bonnie said, putting everything else down. He took the plush back. Chica came in with a basket full of fruit and few sandwiches.

"Here's some food to last you through the day!" she smiled. She set the basket down then set down a pack of water bottles.

"Time, everyone," Foxy said, opening the door.

"Foxy will check on you when he can, Nala. We'll be back around eight o'clock," Freddy said, being the last to walk out. I waved goodbye to them and gave Foxy a hug before he left. I sat on the couch and waited for my new family to return.
