Chapter 3: The Past
"It all started two years, or so, before The Bite of 1987. It began with a missing child. No one found a single trace of the poor lad and figured he be kidnapped," Foxy explained. "Then, a second child went missing about 2 months after the first. Now, people be starting to get suspicious. There were two filed missing children at Freddy's."
"What happened to the children?" You ask as a hint of fear entered your voice.
"No one ever found out, or at least, until I did a little digging," Foxy said. "I saw Golden Freddy unusually active the past few days. I truthfully thought that he had been disabled for malfunctions the past few months and there be no repairman walking through there. That's when it hit me. There be human walking around in an animatronic suit."
"Is it bad for a human to be in an animatronic suit?" You ask curiously. Foxy nodded and sighed softly.
"Yes, that be against the rules at Freddy's. No endo-skeleton need not be in its suit during the day or at night. That be why the animatronics try to attack the night guard," Foxy answered. "They can't recognize grown up humans so they think ye be an endo-skeleton and try to force ye back into ye suit, but that crushes the poor victim in the process."
"You were hiding me from them so I wouldn't suffer that fate," You say as you look at Foxy. Foxy nodded as he straightened up.
"Aye I was, I didn't want the one that was obviously trying to help us suffer that horrible fate," Foxy agreed. "Anyway, back to the story. I tried to keep an eye on Goldy, but he escaped me many times. Soon, there were 2 more murders within another 2 month period."
"Why is the murder doing this?" You ask becoming a little outraged.
"Calm down lass, I didn't find that out," Foxy answered. "That's when I began to stay out in the open a lot more to try and catch the killer. Except, I didn't find him til a year later by then we had replacements for the originals. One day, I saw a much older Mikey, my favorite kid. He be the one I called me first mate. I tried to go say hi to the lad, but then Golden Freddy began to lead him away. I quickly went to this room and entered on of the many vents because I overheard him say that it be behind the kitchen."
"So, the murder lead his victims to the kitchen and then killed them?" You said as you processed this. "That is horrible." Foxy nodded as sadness filled his eyes.
"I got to the vent grate and realized that I be too late. Mikey had become the next victim," Foxy said as sorrow filled his expression.
"Oh Foxy…" You said as you saw the painful expression on Foxy's face.
"I heard him crying and asking for help, but the vent was locked in place. I wanted to break into that room and save the lad, but the vent prevented me from reaching him," Foxy said sadly. "The villains left the room and I see Mikey look up to the vent, where he saw me. He reached over and said help one last time. I began pushing on the vent as I saw his hand go limp. I yelled his name over and over again, trying to get him to look at me, but it been no use; he was gone." Foxy turned away and put his hand over his eyes. You got up and walked over to the sad animatronic. You placed a hand on his shoulder, which made him look at you.
"It's okay, Foxy. You did your best to help him. You couldn't do anything more," You said as you tried to reassure your friend. Foxy looked at you and straightened up.
"Yeah, I guess I did," Foxy said. "Well, anyway, afterwards I was obviously mad. I now knew who had been doing this violence and I planned to get him the next day. I was going to end this nightmare." You sat back down as you became interested again.
"What happened?" You asked as you became more interested that you almost fell out of your chair.
"I didn't hear about the new day guard being hired and the criminal being fired, so I was going to continue with me plan," Foxy answered he looked down somewhat. "I...I got close to the guard and just as I went to end the man. He turned around and I saw his face. It wasn't the same guard, but it be too late. I had harmed the wrong man."
"It isn't your fault Foxy. You didn't know about the transfer," You reassured in a kind soothing voice. Foxy gave you a kind look and you could tell that he was glad that you understood. He turned his chair back to the cameras.
"The sad ending be that they saw me as a menace to the children and staff. So, they made it were no one would come into me room and I couldn't leave," Foxy said sorrowfully. "I can't be out and about until after midnight and even then I must not go out, unless, I want to be punished for some reason by the rest." You get up from your chair and place hand on his shoulder. He looks at you and you can see the kindness in his eyes. He was the nicest animatronic you've ever seen and the fact that he is being punished every day for trying to do the right thing just hurt you so much.
"Foxy, I promise from here on that I will get you operational and that I will make it were you can play with the children again," You say confidently. Foxy looks at you in surprise.
"Do you…do you really think that I will be able to play with them again?" Foxy asked in a hopeful voice. You turn his chair to where he was facing you and look at him in his eyes.
"It's a promise," You say with sureness in your voice. His eyes basically lite up and he smiled at you.
"Thank-ye lassy, I don't know what I do without ye here," Foxy thanked as he turned to the cameras again. "Oh..no.."
