7

I yawned and woke up slowly. The room was dark, but I could see the outlines of my stuffed animals and other knick-knacks Foxy had set up in here. I sat up and stretched, waking up. I noticed a tiny electric clock on the other side of the room.

5 : 54 am

I snuck out of my bedroom and overheard a few inaudible voices.

"She's very fond of you, isn't she, Foxy…?" Freddy asked. I could almost hear his smile.

"Aye. I've always wondered what it'd be like to have a daughter…" Foxy responded, trailing off. There was a pause… then a sigh.

"Yeah… But, Foxy… What if she finds out about… that day?" Freddy asked. I tilted my head.

What day…?

"She won't hopefully. Such young innocence should never know," he said sternly. I suddenly felt scared.

"Be prepared if she ever does, Foxy," Freddy told him. I raced silently to my room, trying to forget what I had just heard.

What day…? What is papa hiding…? Why do I feel so scared…?

A knock sounded on my door and I jumped. Terrified, I hid in the closet.

"Nala…?" Freddy asked, opening my door. There was a lump that surprisingly looked like me on my bed. A chuckled came from him, "See ya later when you're up, Nala."

The door shut and I peeked out. I slowly walked out and climbed into bed, unable to go back to sleep. The door opened once more.

"Nala…?" Foxy asked. I closed my eyes, pretending to sleep. He walked over to me, stroking my hair with his hand. "Sleep well, Nala."

He leaned in and gave me a kiss on the temple then left. I felt calmer after that. I don't know what scared me or why I was scared. In my gut, I felt like something bad was going to happen. And soon.

…

Once the day was over, I was still hidden in my room. Bonnie knocked and walked in.

"Hey, Nala. Just seeing if you were alright. Were you tired?" he asked. I nodded. Chica came up behind him and they walked in, sitting next to me.

"You excited for tomorrow?" Chica asked with a smile. Oh yeah! It was my birthday tomorrow!~

"Yes!" I said excitedly. Chica giggled.

"You'll like what we got you. Even if it was on short notice," Bonnie smiled and winked. I laughed, but the thought from this morning crept in.

"Hey, Chica, Bonnie. What did papa do that was really scary…?"

The two went silent and looked at each other. Once happy bright faces were turned into worry and concern.

"Um… It was nothing, Nala… Nothing bad happened," Chica quickly said, putting on a bright smile. Bonnie squeezed my shoulder, also smiling.

"We're all waking up early tomorrow. Make sure you get to bed at ten," he said. They both stood up and left the room. I sat there, hands on my lap as I stared at the door. Now, they won't tell me anything. Suspicions and fears grew in my mind. I became confused to why they were hiding this from me. I sighed. I shouldn't be worried. Tomorrow's my birthday after all.
