Prologue: Congratulations
Being a law enforcement officer is Lucia Stryker's lifelong dream.
Her mother is a detective as was her grandmother before she died from natural causes. Lucia's family has a history of strong women and intelligent men. Part of the next generation, now it was her turn to make her family proud.
But in order to achieve to this dream Lucia needed to enroll in a university… which required money.
Lots of it.
Because Chimera University was by far the most expensive university on the extensive list of "Prestigious Colleges & Universities" she had scrolled through just yesterday.
Yet Lucia has always had her eye on Chimera, ever since she learned about it in junior high. It was in a decent location and also renowned for its estimable staff and hardworking students—a world she very much desired to be a part of.
Yeah there were grants and scholarships available, but she figured it wouldn't kill to have a little extra cash on the side…
This is why when Lucia came upon an ad in the Daily Herald for a security job that paid $12 an hour at a family restaurant named Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, she did not hesitate. The recent high school graduate wasted no time in sending an online application on her 19th birthday. All that was left to do was play the waiting game.
Three days later her future employer called with the prospect of scheduling an interview.
Lucia's boss had asked surprisingly little about her background or prior experience with security work. Questions such as "Do you know much about animatronics?" and "When's the last time you set foot in a family restaurant like this?" and even "Are you easily frightened by unfamiliar noises?"
These questions were certainly weird, if not harmless, to say the least. Despite Mr. Bancroft's informal tone, Lucia could sense there was something… off… about the dark haired, blue eyed man. During the whole interview he'd been behaving in a seemingly skittish manner—eye twitching, legs bouncing nonstop, perspiring even though the A/C was clearly operative and hands clenched so tight they turned as white as a vampire. Like he was trying to keep some emotion from breaking free.
At the time Lucia didn't think much of it. She figured maybe Mr. Bancroft had some other engagement to attend and was merely pressed for time. Once the amazingly short interview concluded, the curious man shook Lucia's dry hand with his damp one and halfheartedly congratulated the restaurant's new staff member. After disclosing certain information pertinent to the job, Mr. Bancroft nearly rushed out the office, muttering "The Phone Guy will inform you of the rest."
Lucia was left staring at the door he didn't even bother to shut behind him. Baffled by his departing words.
Who the hell was the Phone Guy anyway?
What did he mean by "the rest"?
The rest of what?
Eh… she didn't have time to work out the answers.
She got the job.
That's all that matters.

Yes a FNAF fan fic. Because why the heck not? I just started playing FNAF 4 the other day and I forgot how horrifying the story actually is. Then I started getting ideas… and as usual I had to write them out. So here is the finished product. Well… more like the beginning of it.
Now, I'm not one to ask for reviews but…..
Oh what am I saying? Of course I am!
If your interest has been piqued, even a little, ladies and gentlemen, then please do me a kindness and leave your comments so I know whether it's worth continuing or not. Or favorite and follow. That works too. Foxy and I will be eternally grateful!
Right Fox?
