She's Just A Little Girl
AN:Enjoy. I own nothing that isn't mine.

"Wh-what…?" the woman smiled slightly, a little girl sitting in a chair in front of the desk. Behind the desk was a tall, grey haired man, and frown widening across his face "I'm positive that you heard me. My niece wants to work the nightshift." He glanced from the girl and to the woman
"But she's just a little girl." Said girl's eyes looked to her hands folded on her lap. "She's already graduated school. I have papers from the government that say she is allowed to work. I, uh, also have a number you can call to know that what I'm saying isn't false." The woman started searching through her purse and soon fished out a file. She handed it to the man and he (being quite surprised) took the file and looked through it. "All of her records are in there, her birth certificate, the papers from the government. Everything." The man soon handed the file back
"The first five days are mandatory. Even if you find out you aren't wanting to continue the job….are you sure?" he was looking to the girl, nervously…almost, guiltily. As if he knew some horrible secret. She looked him dead in the eyes "I'm sure. Is there a contract?"
He sighed and reluctantly got out of his chair and over to a filing cabinet. He went through several files before pulling a packet out. He walked back and sat down into his chair. He set down the packet. She immediately picked it up and started to read. He stood up suddenly and he gestured the woman over to the corner. She followed him and he started whisper/yelling at her "Are you sure about this? She's only nine for crying out loud…" the woman glanced to the girl who was busy reading, before she suddenly got out a wallet and opened it up
"I'm FBI. This girl isn't an ordinary girl. We wanted to start her with a minor job that might have to include fighting. People breaking in, you know? I've heard a lot of people like to break in here, and scare off guards. Is this true?" he felt his blood run cold throughout his whole body and his heart skipped a beat. Right…lies. "Y-yes…we constantly have to find new replacements." She nodded curtly, having a cold look.
"All I do is take care of her. I suggest you don't piss her off. She will attack a full grown man. She has no problem fighting people." His eyes widened "Sh-she won't damage the animatronics, will she…?" thank god for his good acting skills. He could feel his palms sweating. The woman shook her head "No, of course not. She's actually very excited to see them. Even though…even though she's graduated school and is respected and treated like an adult, she is really a kid at heart." The woman's eyes softened, slightly before they hardened again.
"I am done." The man pursed his lips before a fake smile spread across his face. He turned toward the girl, who was standing with the packet held neatly in her hands.
"Alrighty, Sophie. When's the soonest you can work?" she glanced to the woman and then back the man "Tonight." He nodded and glanced to the clock.
"That's about four hours away…do you want to maybe go with the kids and watch Freddy and gang play their songs? There's an hour left till we have to close. I want you to get aquainted with what you're going to be keeping safe." Sophie's eyes widened before she quickly recovered her stoic face
"I suppose I can do that. I have nothing on my schedule anyways." She walked out the door before turning her head back "I'll let myself there if you don't mind." He shook his head "No, no by all means, go ahead. We'll meet with you in a few." She nodded before closing the door behind her and walking down the hallway.
Sophie's POV
I walked down the hall. From what I read in the packet, there had probably been many deaths, because of the so called 'break ins'. Why else would it say that they're not responsible for any deaths or injuries that may occur. I narrowed my icy blue eyes. Not responsible my ass. Yeah, I curse. What of it? I only say it in my mind though…
I entered through a doorway, to be met by screaming and laughing kids. My eyes immediately looked over to the stage. My eyes widened and I felt a slight smile. I subconsciously walked to the very edge of the stage. I looked at the animatronics as they were singing and playing their instruments. Freddy, the bear…he wore a big red bow. Chica…she was so pretty…which was saying a lot for an animatronics. She was wearing a bib that said "Let's party!" then I saw Bonnie…I always loved rabbits. He was adorable. I stared at him for a slightly longer time than I did with Chica and Freddy. His eyes somehow met mine, as if he had known I was staring. He smiled widely and continued singing, though a little more cheerfully. I looked over to the corner, to see curtains and a sign that said "OUT OF ORDER" I heard the song they were singing end and the kids started to cheer and scream louder. I winced and glanced behind me, Bonnie and Freddy were staring at me. I blinked and shook it off. I then approached the curtains, reaching out a hand, ready to part the curtains. I heard a man's voice behind me and a hand on my shoulder.
My head snapped back to look at who was there, wide eyes filled with hate. I glared at creepy looking man wearing a 'Freddy Fazbear's Pizzaria!'. He smiled
"I'm sorry little girl, but only the people that work here can go in there. Besides, its out of order." I ripped away from him
"I'm the new night guard. I'm not a little girl." His smile froze on his face and laughed a fake laugh,
"That's real cute sweetie. How about we go find your mommy and get you some pizza!" he gripped my arm and I ripped it off, glaring at him even more "Are you deaf, old man? I said I'm not a little girl."
He laughed through gritted teeth, straightening up "Little girl, I'm sorry, but if you keep up with this behavior, you have to go on a time out in the corner." He knelt down, his face getting in mine. His breath made me want to gag.
"Now, be a good little girl and come with me," he reached his hand to grip my shoulder, but I quickly slapped him in the face. I heard the cheers and screaming of the kids die down, replaced with hushed whispers. Even the animatronics were staring. So, I did what I did best. I put on the waterworks.
"Mommy!" I made sure that the tears were pouring down my cheeks. I quickly ran through the curtains and immediately wiped the tears away. I acted as if nothing had happened. I tucked my midnight blue hair behind my ears. It was natural, but I had to lie to everyone and say that it was dyed.
I immediately heard angry mothers yelling at the man and soon I heard the familiar voice of the man who owned this place. I smiled smugly to myself and continued walking. My eyes quickly adjusted to the dark and I was met with a gigantic ship. I heard a beep from my watch and I pressed a button, speaking into it.
"Yes, what is it Marie? I'm a little busy."
"I'm sorry boss, but I need to know your exact location." I rolled my eyes.
"Meet me in the girl's bathroom."
"Yes, I'll meet you there." I heard a beep, signaling that she had hung up. I sighed and snuck through the curtains and out into the open. Everything was back to normal, but the animatronics were still on their break. I smirked when the thought of that man getting in trouble crossed my mind. I closed my eyes…but soon they snapped open when I walked into something.
I looked up to see Freddy himself. I blinked "Uh-uh, hello Freddy."
He laughed cheerfully "Hello! What's your name, little one?" I inwardly winced.
"My name is Sophie…how are you doing today?" a strange look flashed in his eyes, but only for a second. That's strange, they're just scraps of metal…ah, that was mean. I mean, they're programmed for everything they do.
"I'm doing wonderful! Thank you for asking, Sophie! Are you having a fun time?" I nodded slightly.
"Yes, and the song you've just sung was very happy, and upbeat. I've never had such a great time in my life!" I smiled widely. I needed to befriend them if I was going to be protecting them.
He laughed cheerfully "Why, thank you Sophie!" I nodded with a smile.
"But, ah…you must excuse me . I need to go to the ah…bathroom. But I will be back…" that strange look flashed in his eyes again…what the hell was that?
I cleared my throat and walked past him, toward the women's bathroom. I glance to my right, just reaching the doorway and saw both Bonnie and Chica staring at me. I hurried my pace and literally pushed the door open. I stopped and stepped aside so a mother and daughter could exit. I waited till they were out and pressed a button on my watch. I heard the receiving end beep in the family toilet stall. I cleared my throat and approached it. I knocked three times and suddenly the door opened, revealing a smiling Marie. She stepped out of the stall and in front of me.
"Boss, I'm wondering if I should be dismissed…? It's only 36 minutes till the business closes for the night."
I nodded "Yes, you are dismissed. Tell your husband that I said hello. Little Susan too." She nodded and left the bathroom. I waited a few seconds before I leaned against the wall with a sigh, rubbing my temples. I needed to have a word with the boss, but that could wait. I had a conversation to continue with Mr. Fazbear. I shook my head and smiled. I walked out the door and spotted Freddy chatting with Bonnie and Chica in their little private corner. It had ropes to give them privacy, so no kids would bother them on break. I noticed that there weren't as many people as before. I made my way over to the animatronics, fixing my hair and clearing my throat. I approached the ropes, unhooked them, rehooked them and I approached them.
They turned their heads to see me and Freddy stood from his seat "Oh, Sophie! I'm sorry, but little kids and parents aren't aloud back here. Only faculty and people that work here." I had to say, I was surprised that he actually remembered my name
"Yes, well, I just got a job here. I may not look it, but I've already graduated school. I have papers that will allow me to work here. I'm going to be working the nightshift…" I jumped when Chica stood up suddenly, knocking her chair over. She cleared her throat (somehow…she's just a robot…)
"Uh, excuse me, guys! I'll be right back! It's nice to meet you Sophie. I think I have cupcakes waiting in the oven…" she then walked through a door behind their table.
Freddy chuckled, not as cheerfully though "I don't think that's very safe, Sophie. Bad things can happen at night."
I blinked and my eyebrows furrowed. Now I was confused. I thought they were programmed to say certain things, like 'We can't wait to work with you pal! Now you're part of the band!' but…did they somehow…have such advanced AI systems, that they're able to think almost as well as an actual human?
"Well, yes I know that. I've heard that there've been frequent break ins and the guards can't exactly handle that. But I've gone through special training, so I know plenty of self defense techniques…" Freddy looked back to Bonnie, to which Bonnie shook his head.
He smiled "You must be very smart to already be out of school! How old are you Sophie?" I felt a slight blush. I loved bunnies so much!
I smiled slightly "I'm nine. But, I-" I froze, regaining my stoic composure. I cleared my throat "Nine years and 321 days." Somehow, their metal faces appeared shocked. Chica then entered through the same door
"Hey! I'm back! Oh, Soph, do you want a cupcake?" she held out a cupcake with pink frosting. I blinked and felt my face go red. She had just made a nickname for me.
"Uhhh, yes..please and thank you Chica." I grabbed the cupcake and was about to take a bite when my watch beeped. I set the cupcake onto the table immediately
"Ah, you'll have to excuse me…I just need a moment." I quickly turned and ducked under the ropes. I quickly went out the front doors of the diner and I walked around and to the back. It was freezing outside and I could see my breath. You couldn't see a star in the sky.
I quickly pressed the button "Hello?"
"Boss! Get out of there! You need to-" there was a slight scream and then someone breathed into the mic.
"Marie!? Marie, you better answer me right now! ANSWER ME GOD DAMN IT!" I didn't even care that I had cursed aloud.
I then heard a gruff male voice "Now, now Sophie, I think you should calm down now. What would mother think if she were to hear you?"
I gritted my teeth "Who the HELL ARE YOU!?" the stranger chuckled
"You're right. I probably shouldn't use that stupid lie you tell everyone. I know you have no mother, or father, Sub.2892SO." My eyes widened and My face felt cold and pale. My hands felt clammy…and I felt weak. I began feeling dizzy and backed up against the wall and slid down, slowly sitting. "I also know that when called your full name, your system breaks down and you become an innocent scared little girl." I felt tears prick my eyes
"Wh-What are you g-going to do with me?" my voice was shaky and filled with fear. Damn it! Snap out of it Sophie! Get a grip!
"Heh heh…look to your right." I froze, my eyes wide…I was shaking, and shaking hard. I didn't want to look. I didn't want to…
My head slowly turned and I saw a man walking toward me. He wore a ski mask and all black clothes. I let out a breath, which should've been a scream, but wasn't. My eyes were wide and my tears fell down my cheeks. I shakily got up when he was getting closer. I turned and started to run but somehow he caught up and held me back, hard against his body. (get your mind out of the gutter!) I screamed, but my mouth and nose were quickly covered with a cloth of some sort. I breathed quick breaths, and slowly I felt myself to go limp. I stopped struggling, moaning and breathing hard into the cloth, the tears were freely flowing. But even then, I went completely silent, my whole world going black.
Fuck this shit.
