I look over at my friends, then back over to the crowd of children. It's the same thing every day. Pointless conversations, mindless singing. Barely anything changes. The only thing that had changed since as long as I can remember is foxy. He used to sing along with us. Back when we were clueless. Back when we thought everything was alright. But it wasn't.
We hadn't the foggiest idea who- or what- we were. We just went along with it, singing songs and talking to the children. We had no clue that everything we knew would change in a heartbeat. But that was then, and now is now. And now we know.
~flashback~ It was late. Almost time to close. We were singing the last song of the day when out of the corner of my eye, I saw a girl, about 3 years old, walk onto Foxy's stage. I tried to call out or warn somebody, but I couldn't. I couldn't interfere.
I wanted badly to stop the girl before she got hurt, or worse, killed, but I couldn't risk it. I knew what would happen if I did. So I just continued singing. As the song ended, gasps and screams echoed through the room. As Foxy took his bow, he bit the poor girl's frontal elobe off. We just continued as if nothing had happened. People crowded the girl. By closing time, the place was flooded with police and paramedics. The workers were all being scolded by their manager. It was complete and total chaos. I just stood there, frozen, as if it were just a normal night.
The room finally emptied. It was complete and total silence. None of us were brave enough to break the silence. We just stood there, staring at Foxy's stage until we couldn't bare the silence any longer.
"The poor girl." I said. Freddy quickly looked at me, as if shocked that I broke the silence. Chica nodded.
"So innocent and clueless." She said.
"Like us." Freddy quickly added, staring out into space. We looked at him, confused. Then it hit me. The cold, empty feeling. The mindless singing. The way all I had almost no control over myself. All of these inhuman things I thought were normal , weren't. Because I wasn't human at all. I was dumbfounded. How had I not realized it before? More than anything, I was confused. All this time, I had felt something I don't think I was supposed to feel. I felt love.
