Chapter Four: New Home

Ming frowned. It had been a few weeks since the kids had all gone missing. So why were her parents freaking out now?

She thought back on the phone conversation she had listened in on. Her mother had been talking to Ivy and Tweet's grandparents.

"Hello, Roberta, how nice to hear from y-... What?! Oh no, that's terrible! I'm so sorry. ... It all links back to Fazzbear's?... I suppose that would make sense. Who else-? ... Theodore and Alexander Martins? ... Elsa Witche, too?! Oh, dear. ... Yeah. ... No, I haven't been there recently. I don't think we'll be bringing the twins back there ever again. ... Have the police caught the criminal, yet? ... Alright. Good-bye, Roberta. ... I wish you all the best, dear. ... You too."

Then, Ming's father had walked in, asking what was going on, and her mother used a word she had only heard once before. Murder.

Ming was still trying to piece it together. Murder? Her father had told her that was the word for a group crows. What did crows have to do with her friends' mysterious disappearances?

Damien didn't know either. He simply shrugged and shook his head. "I dunno... but this is getting really scary."

Ming had to agree with him. Things were getting pretty scary. Ming hoped her friends were okay. She also hoped Damien didn't disappear, as well. That would be terrifying.

At the moment, her parents were pulling suitcases out of the storage closet. Some of the furniture had white covers over them.

"Ming, I want you and Damien to start packing all your toys into boxes, and I'll come to help you get your suitcases packed." Their father told them.

"Why, Dad?"

"What's going on, Daddy?"

"We're moving. I... I know this is really sudden, but I promise, everything will be fine." Their father replied.

"Where are we going, Dad?" Damien asked, wide-eyed.

"We're not going far." Their father assured. "It's only a couple towns away."

The twins shared a look, but did as their father said. It was better than arguing. Besides, maybe this would even be fun?

A few hours later, a big truck was being filled with their boxes and some of their furniture. Ming and Damien's father had put their suitcases in the truck. The twins were munching on lunch, which consisted of pizza and chocolate milk, as they watched the movers try to carry the heavy couch.

"Mom, where are we moving to?" Ming asked.

"A small town called Harmony Rose. It has a small school where you and Damien can make lots of friends, a park with a playground across the street from our new house where you two can play, and it's even got a Freddy's pizza place." She replied.

Ming frowned. "I thought Freddy's was why we were moving?"

Her mother smiled gently. "Just because bad things happened at Freddy's here, doesn't mean there's anything dangerous there. The restaurant is under different management, and has new robots. It will be perfectly safe."

"Why are we moving, then?" Damien frowned.

"It's... adult stuff. Mostly has to do with Daddy's work. Don't worry, you two will love it in Harmony Rose."

The twins shared a look, but both nodded. "Okay, Mom."

William Afton beamed proudly at his robots. Freddy and Chica and Bonnie on stage, while Foxy stood in Pirate Cove. It was all coming together nicely. He was the manager of the new restaurant, because only he could work and service the robots. His boss would come to check on the restaurant once a month and make sure things were going smoothly.

The Spring Bonnie suit rested in one closet, and Fredbear sat in the other, the one that was visible via camera. Everybody had thought Spring Bonnie was thrown away, and that Fredbear had recieved new safety mechanics. Nobody knew the truth.

He was expected to tamper with his creation, simply because some kid had gotten his head between Fredbear's jaws six years ago? It was a miracle that kid had survived. The family had moved shortly after the child had been released from the hospital.

A ringing phone woke Afton from his thoughts. It was his boss.

Rolling his eyes, he answered the phone, to hear his boss tell him there was an official police investigation at the old restaurant, and that he was one of the suspects.

Afton promised he would be right there, and hung up. He took a deep breath. He had to play up the charisma for the cops.

The car stopped in front of a large house, across the street from a big playground that other kids were already playing on. Damien and Ming shared an excited look. This was going to be fun!
