He was walking through the streets, hands in his pockets, looking around the town he grew up in with a soft smile, as he was making his way towards the quite famous Freddy Fazbears pizzeria.

Arkhal was a guy about 187 cm (6.1 feet) he has a bit of a swimmers body type. his golden blonde hair was a bit on the long side as one of his bangs fell over his left eye, his friends couldn't really understand how he could see, but everytime they asked he just smirked at them and told them it was a secret. He wore a brown leather jacket with a red shirt under it, normal jeans and black sneakers. He had a black and red backpack on his back.

he stopped in front of the doors of the pizzeria as he looked through the doors and noticed the place was quite busy. He saw kids of all ages running around the place as the parents tried to keep them in check. He opened the door with a smile as he looked around the place with a nostalgic look. "it seems the place hasn't changed a lot since the last time I was here running around as the children are doing now."

he stepped in and his eyes were dragged immediately to the stage where the band was playing, he took a moment to take in their appearances. His eyes went to the purple bunny named Bonnie first. The bunny was looking quite worn, its fur was a bit matted and a bit darker then he remembered and its guitar was a bit dirty.

Arkhal's eyes went towards the chicken. The chicken also known as chica looked quite worn as well, he figured it had something to do with the age of said animatronics. Her feathers weren't as vibrant yellow as he remembered them. She did still have the cupcake in her hand, it looked quite the same as he remembered it. But overall she was a bit better than the bunny.

Lastly his eyes went towards the leader of the group. Freddy Fazbear itself again looking quite worn like the others. Its fur looked quite a bit darker than the normal colored brown it is supposed to have. Its microphone was a bit worn as well. Overall the animatronics were looking a bit more worn then he remembered them.

He was shaken out of his remembrance as someone put a hand on his shoulder, Arkhal looked over his shoulder at the employee. The employee smiled at him "are you perchance Arkhal?" the employee asked him. "yes I'm Arkhal" he answered "good, I was told by the manager to bring you towards his office" the employee said as he gestured to follow him "follow me"

Arkhal followed after the employee as he looked around the hallway he was led in. he noticed the curtains to pirates cove and he smiled to himself. "he was always my favorite" the employee looked behind him as Arkhal said that "ah you've been here before then mister Gray" Arkhal looked at the employee "please call me Arkhal, mister Gray is my father, and yes I've been here before, it was my favorite place to be when I was younger" The employee smiled at him as he heard that. Arkhal looked to his left and saw the security office, he looked through the glass and saw someone working there manning the cameras. As if he noticed that he was watching he looked up and made eye contact with Arkhal, he waved cheerily at him. Arkhal waved back a bit uncertainly.

They stopped in front of a door with manager on it "here it is Arkhal, you can enter, the manager is expecting you. I hope you will join our fazbear family" the employee said as he moved away after pointing at the door. "we shall see if I get accepted first" Arkhal said as he opened the door and stepped into the office.

"Ah Arkhal, I can call you Arkhal right" the manager said as Arkhal entered the office "sure, I prefer it actually" he answered "good good, take a seat" the manager pointed at the chair in front of his desk. Arkhal sat down and put down his bag as he noticed the nameplate identifying that the managers name was Davidson. He put his resume on the managers desk. Mr. Davidson picked up the resume and read through it quickly "hmm mind telling me why you want to be the night guard, when your resume tells me you followed a mechanic school." Arkhal shifted a bit as Mr. Davidson told him this "well I actually dropped out of that school. because I couldn't pay for it anymore" Davidson hummed a bit "okay why did you want to become a night guard here then and how old are you by he way" Arkhal shrugged a bit "well to pay for my rent and start building up my money again to finish mechanic school and I'm 17" Davidson grinned at him as he stood up "you're hired"

"huh that quick" Arkhal said as he looked a bit surprised "what about the other applicants" Davidson put a contract in front of him "well you're the first and I always say first come first serve. You only need to sign this contract and you can begin tonight" Arkhal picked up the contract and looked through it "hm why are the first five days mandatory?" he asked.

"Well night shift can be a bit boring so this makes sure we have a night guard for at least the first week and no one gets out of the job when they decide its too boring" Davidson explained to him

"and what about this bit of not telling anything about the night?" Arkhal asked confused.

"well we have had some trouble in the past about stealing recipes and talking about some special things of the animatronics. This last bit is quite heavily enforced at people with a mechanical background like you" Davidson explained.

"ah seems well founded" Arkhal said as he signed the contract and gave it back to Davidson and stood up as Davidson put his hand in front of him. Arkhal shakes his hand "welcome to the Fazbear family" Davidson said excited.

"do we have an uniform of sorts?" Arkhal asked Davidson as he took his hand back. Davidson looked at him "what size do you need?" he asked as he looked Arkhal over "umm a large please" he said as he watched Davidson walking towards the back of his office and opened a closet. He took out a purple uniform with a hat and a badge saying night guard. he put it down on his desk "these should fit"

"okay thanks" Arkhal said as he picked up the uniform "I expect to see you here by midnight" Davidson said as he put a key on his desk. "here is your key it opens the front door before midnight. After midnight the doors mechanic lock will lock the door so you cant get out with your keys after midnight" Arkhal frowned "so I'm basically locked in then" he said "yes, yes you are, its all for security though" Davidson explained.

"okay fine." Arkhal said as he stood up from the chair with all his stuff "that was all then?" he asked Davidson "yes that was all" he opened the door for him. "you know were the security office is" Davidson said. "yes I passed by it on my way towards you" Arkhal said "good see you tonight then." Davidson said as he closed his door again.

Arkhal stood in the hallway and shrugged "weird guy but hey I got the job" he said to himself as he walked back towards the entrance. On his way back he saw the guard that was in the office stand outside it leaning against the wall "so you're the new night guard" he said as Arkhal moved into view "yes I am and you are the day guard" Arkhal said "yup" the day guard said "name is William" he said as he put his hand out to shake. Arkhal takes his hand and shakes it "name is Arkhal" William took his hand back as he grinned "welcome to the fazbear family. I hope you will enjoy your work here. Maybe so much you wont be leaving anytime soon." William said as at the last bit his grin darkened a fraction of a second. "uh sure we will see" Arkhal said as he moves past William "don't forget to put on your uniform tonight its against company policy if you don't" he called after him. Arkhal waves "sure thing" he said.

He resumed walking towards the entrance as he eyed the animatronics as they performed and then sighed as he stopped at pirate cove and looked at the out of order sign. "hmm a quick look wouldn't hurt" he put his bag down and stuck his head through the curtains.

He noticed foxy immediately as he stepped through the curtains. He looked foxy over and grimaced a bit, of all the animatronics foxy looked the worst "what did they do to you foxy" he said a bit saddened as he walked around the fox "poor guy" he muttered to himself as he stopped in front of him with a sigh "no matter you're still my favorite, I used to enjoy your stories so much, still would if they are still as good as they were in the past" Arkhal sighed again as he moved back towards the curtains "see ya foxy" he said as he walked out of the cove never noticing that a eye was watching him.

He stepped out of the cove and put his bag on his back again, he moved further to the entrance dodging children here and there as he looked around the place noticing the cameras on his way. "are those cameras following me" he muttered as he saw the movement of the cameras "nah im imagining things." he said as he stopped at the entrance and looked at the band. The band seem to stare at him as he looked at them and he unconsciously shivered a bit "definitely imaging things" he said as he opened the doors to the outside and walked out. Back to his apartment that isn't so far away from the place he just came from.

Arkhal entered his apartment and looked around the place as he put his bag down in the hallway.

Its quite the quaint little place: a bedroom, a bathroom, a living room with a tv, and a kitchen with the bare necessities. So overall a pretty decent apartment. He put his jacket on the back of the couch and sat down on the coach with a sigh "well what a day" he said as he looked at his watch. It was 4 pm. He left his place at 1 pm "sheesh I've been there for 3 hours didn't think it would take that long" he said as he stood up and walked towards the fridge and opened it "lets see what I have in here" he looked at the fridge and sighed as he noticed it was quite empty "need to do some shopping. Eh ill do it tomorrow" he said as he took out a can of soda, opened it and took a drink.

He noticed a newspaper on his table and took a look at it. One was titled: Four children gone missing

he frowned as he read the article as he slowly sipped at his soda "well I'm glad I don't have any children I don't want to know how those parents are taking it." he said to himself as he put the newspaper down "how did it get here actually I never received the paper before" he muttered a bit puzzled and then shrugged "eh I hope the kidnapper gets found quickly"

he looked at his watch and noticed it was 5 pm "maybe I should get some shut eye before my shift starts" he walked to his bedroom and put his alarm at 11 pm "that should give me enough time its a 10 minute walk from here" he muttered as he laid down on his bed after setting the alarm.
