Chapter 4

"Mike how hot is this Hot Cocoa?" Rebecca asked him as she held a bottle of hot Cocoa, she knew how cold it was outside, but her infant could not be fed a hot bottle. It could give her unwanted fever and being sick on Christmas would be the worst thing in the world.

"It's not too hot for her. Check if you want." Mike told her sitting down next to her.

Rebecca then carefully dripped a couple of drops against her skin. It was warm. But not too hot. It was what her baby needed.

She then gave the bottle over to Sarah, who grabbed the bottle with her hands. Since was almost a year old. She was able to move a little bit. But she hadn't walked yet. She did try. But fell down and broke into a cry. Rebecca did ask her doctor, who told her Sarah would walk when she wanted to. Plus her legs were still in working order, she could wiggle her toes and move her feet when she was tickled. But her legs weren't strong enough to hold her up yet.

"Rebecca. You remember William Afton?"

"Who?"

"William Afton. The guy who told us he was Vincent." Mike explained.

"Yes. I can't believe it was him... I mean! We let him hold our baby! And he was a fucking child murderer!" Rebecca stopped when she realised she swore near Sarah, "Oh I'm sorry Sarah! Don't repeat That! Mommy said a nasty word! Don't repeat it!"

Sarah didn't appear to notice;she was sitting in her play area with her foxy plushie, she cuddled him as she rolled over on the ground giggling.

"I get how angry you are." Mike rubbed her hand, "I mean... he killed Felix's Brother and he held our child... we thought we could trust him... until Marionette told us." Mike felt just as angry as she did;William Afton AKA Vincent Purple, killed six children. Including their friend's brother. When Mike was on the force in the early days, he entrusted Sarah to his care, since he had contact with kids before. He never imagined that the man who held Sarah was a heartless murder who had taken children's life before. As soon as Mike knew, he broke off all connections with William. But that didn't stop William from seeing Felix.

Felix told Mike he was terrified because William was showing up at his house and he was banging on the door when he didn't let him inside. So Felix took out a restraining order and he hadn't seen him since. Since he also was scared for Mike and Sarah's safety, along with his grandmother and brother, he told George to apply the restraining order to everyone he knew. But William had dropped out of the picture recently, not that Mike was worried, however,George told him he wasn't answering his phone when he came to check in.

"What did you get for me this year mike?" Rebecca asked.

"How about it still stays a surprise for a while?" He looked at her.

"Mikeeeeeeyyyy... please tell me."

"Nooooo." Mike shook his head.

"Then tell me what you got Sarah." Rebecca requested.

"If I tell you. Freddy will come for you."

"Mikey no don't scare me!"

"And hug you." Mike added.

"You!" Rebecca squealed unhappily, whilst Mike had a laugh, Rebecca shoved him and he fell on the couch flat.

"You will sleep here tonight. I can make that happen."

Aaron ran back from the department store with a small Christmas tree. He decided it needed to be cheap, and green, but not fake looking. Eventually he had to phone in a favour from his brothers Rick's, old best friend from the 1990s. The decade which Rick vanished.

Aaron remembered Rick during Christmas. He remembered in 1986 when Rick was nine and Aaron was five, Rick took Aaron downstairs early on Christmas morning to let him look under the tree, Rick would tell him to be very quiet as he shook his presents, trying to figure out what was inside. When their mother woke to either investigate the noise or make her early morning wake-me-up coffee, Rick would hide himself and his younger brother inside the closet where they kept towels and Blankets. When their mother disappeared back into bed or into the kitchen, Rick took his brother back upstairs.

Aaron and his brother Rick were playing outside their house four days before Christmas when Aaron accidentally ran out onto the road to get his favourite baseball back. Of course, at time, when he was just 8-years-old and unaware of the dangers of the road. A car had hit him and he only just broke his arm. He was allowed back home on Christmas Eve with a plastered arm, where Rick decided to give him the best Christmas in bed. He brought all his presents upstairs and he helped his mother to make him a special breakfast, which was christmas tree shaped pancakes. Rick then spend the whole day indoors playing with his brother rather then going outside to play with his friends in the snow.

Then when their younger sister Jackie arrived in 1992, Rick and Aaron spend their pocket money to buy her a nice present, which was a stuffed teddy bear, which was a fluffy bear with sky blue fur and a white snout and a white underbelly with white on its feet. Which was brought because they shared chores and jobs around the house. Their mother was so proud of the boys working together.

Rick vanished in 1994 when he was 17. Aaron remembered the crisp, warm, July Day. Their Mom gave Rick permission to go with his friends to a party, where drinking and dancing was involved. Aaron was outside playing with his friends when Rick left at around 5 in the evening. Aaron stayed up after dinner to wait for Rick to return home. When he woke the next morning to find his room empty, Aaron left the house, since he was 13, his mother didn't notice him leave the house, especially since she had a toddler to watch.

Aaron eventually found of Rick's older friends, Samuel, a 19-year-old college boy who was very close to Rick, Samuel was with Rick at the party. But Samuel told Aaron Rick left the party at around 11 with a girl. When Aaron's mother heard, she presumed this was a new girlfriend. So she waited for a couple of hours.

Hours, turned to tomorrow. When Rick didn't turn up, Aaron's mother called the police. A huge search was launched and many partygoers were interviewed. Some knew Rick a little, others just saw him, a few were his best friends and gave a good description of the girl he was with. The police then began to search for the mysterious girl.

An anonymous call to the police led them to a grave sight, in the woods, where the girl Rick had been with, was found dead in a bear cave. At first they believed a bear attacked her, then they said Rick killed her, which made Aaron's mother attack them for making such an outrageous claim against her good willed son.

But then, Aaron's mother got a call from the girl's parents, who told her, they received a letter which was meant to go to her, she was gripped by horror when she opened the letter to find a picture of Rick gagged and bounded on a bed with a note which shook her to her bones.

Police couldn't find any fingerprints on it, then a valuable witness came forward. A 52-year-old man in the business industry named Hugo, gave a huge witness statement. He came forward when Rick's photo came to the media and he saw it in the papers and taped to power poles in hope of finding him. Hugo recalled the events of the night, in which he came to collect his 25-year-old daughter from the train station, who had began labour and was unable to call her partner or her mother. He spotted Rick across the road with the girl, Rick did come across and offered help to Hugo, but Hugo told him to get home.

Hugo told Aaron's mother he saw a car come next to Rick and the girl and the person inside snatched them both, taking the girl easily, but Rick fought back. Hugo wanted to go help but his daughter was in such severe pain that he had to rush her to the hospital.

The man inside the car who took both Rick and the girl was arrested, but before he revealed where Rick's body was, he was beaten to death by an inmate. Meaning, the only person who knew where he was; was dead.

Rick's body was never found.

Aaron's mother fell apart, she didn't allow Aaron to leave the house alone until he was 21.

Aaron called Samuel to get a tree for him, which she got only for $20 along with the stand and the set up equipment. He dragged the box inside the Rental and listened to the Handy Man's instructions

22nd OF DECEMBER, THREE DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS.

"Christmas is not that far off employee. You might have heard about Freddy Fazbear's in the new recently. We are not connected to the Fazbear Entertainment so don't ask any questions related to that. Back towards topic. You are required to do a job. The morning employee thinks the lock in the back room broke. Your job to make sure it isn't damaged. If it is, fix it with no time to waste."

"Wait! The back lock... as in the lock in the private area?!" Aaron barked frighten, his eyes widen to sauce pans, knowing dam well what was inside and if Ennard got out, it would go to chaos. "Okay! I wanna go home now!"

When the door opened, Aaron rushed into the control module via the vent, he looked around both areas to make sure Ennard wasn't watching him. He did know from Circus Baby, that he was watching him when he first started to work. If the lock was indeed broken, Ennard would jump out and hide somewhere. So Aaron had to tap into his greatest weakness.

Bright lights.

Light did disturb him and stopped him. But the Light had to be very bright. If it was dim, he'd still move around and hide away or most likely kill him.

He decided not to cause a panic around the complex. So he acted as normal as he possible could as he ran towards the private area pass Funtime Foxy who gave him a funny look as he tried casually not to panic or freak him out, once he was inside the private area, he made a mad dash for the door, he jiggled the handle furiously and checked the lock. It appeared to be untouched.

But Ennard didn't appear to be in the room.

That wad until Aaron looked inside the room and saw a lump in the conner, hidden by a blanket, it moved up and down slowly to tell Aaron it was breathing what ever it was.

Clearly Ennard was asleep. He didn't know for what ever god forsaken reason Ennard was asleep for since he was a machine.

Once he knew where he was, he walked back a lot calmer. He dragged the box in which he had the tree in and brought it to the funtime auditorium.

"Is this how you say Christmas?" Funtime Freddy asked confused.

"It's in the BOX." Aaron pointed out as he ripped the tape off the side.

"What is this?" Bibybab asked him.

"A tree." He answered

"Doesn't look like one." Bibybab pointed out.

"It's a fake pine Christmas Tree." Aaron grumbled as he spilled the contents out onto the floor, he was annoyed the tree had to be assembled piece by piece, but hopefully everyone would lend a hand.

"Seems like work." Bibybab moaned.

"If you don't wanna work then sit in the conner." Baby told him with a harsh tone, "Unlike you. I want a Christmas. It sounds utterly spectacular." She imagined everything Aaron said about Christmas; a glowing tree in the room, a feast fit for a king, many presents, and dazzling memories made. She wanted it all.

"I wanna help!" Funtime Freddy held his hand up and eagerly jumped up like a little kid.

"Where did BonBon go?" Funtime Foxy asked questioning her absences from the room.

"She went to sleep." Funtime Freddy answered him.

"Well she would be tired. The poor thing was screaming all day long." Ballora pointed out.

"She was...?" Aaron questioned finding it very peculiar.

"She up and down all day. Screaming and crying. She was searching for pain relief. When she didn't find anything. She asked me to scoop her alive to erase herself."

"Ewww..." Aaron poked his tongue out disgusted.

"Wait! You wouldn't have done that right?!" Funtime Freddy barked looking at Ballora angrily at what he just heard. This was a backflip from his normal bubbly and crazy-happy behaviour. But now he just heard his long time friend and show time partner tried to get someone to dismantle her to stop a leg pain that would go away eventually.

"Of course not!" Ballora screamed standing her ground firmly. "I would never hurt BonBon!"

"Good!" Funtime Freddy nodded, "You better not!"

"Hey! Hey! Calm down!" Aaron shouted at them, "No fighting. This is not what Christmas is about."

"Are you helping or not?" Baby asked them holding a bunch of random parts. Clearly she didn't know what she was doing.

"Not like that." He took the parts away from her, "First you get the stand down on the floor." He took out the metal stand and folded out the legs then stood it flat on the floor.

"It's nothing." Bibybab told him.

"Party Pooper!" Funtime Freddy screamed at him.

"Not yet it's not. But Next we add on the main spine of the tree. Then we add on the branches." Aaron told him jabbing the inner part of the tree which the branches would extend out from.

Eventually everyone was helping. After a short demo from Aaron of how to place the branches on, everyone was putting branches on and sorting them from largest to shortest.

Funtime Freddy had the most fun, he extend out each branch as Ballora and Baby placed them on. Funtime Foxy then placed the top piece on, which Funtime Freddy got to work on.

After five minutes, the six foot tree was set up right there.

"It looks... SO NICE!" Funtime Freddy cheered.

"It's still missing the decorations." Aaron told him, "Maybe I can fish around for them in my house."

"Oh no! You don't have to!" Baby smiled, "We have some spare stuff in the... private... area..." her face dropped when she realised what she was suggesting.

"In there?" Funtime Foxy asked pointing towards the room.

"Yes..." Baby nodded nervously.

"No way in hell I'm going in there." Aaron told her straight up, "I rather eat those stupid exotic butters. And please note I'm ALLERGIC to dairy."

"Well maybe we can get in and get out without waking or disturbing him." Baby suggested.

"Like I said. I rather chock myself to death with dairy." Aaron snapped.

"He's right. I really don't want to go in there." Bibybab chimed in.

"Well BonBon wants a Christmas!" Funtime Freddy argued, "she's injured and I'm gonna try my hardest to give her what she wants!"

"Are you saying you would risk dying to give her what she wants?" Ballora questioned.

"Yes." Funtime Freddy nodded.

"That's not the best thing to try." Aaron told him, "Especially for someone you love. But that's sweet in my opinion. Just don't risk your life. You'll regret it later."

"Speaking from personal experience?" Ballora asked him.

Aaron looked away, "A day before I was met to marry my fiancée... she died. She died because of me..."

He noticed everyone in the room was looking at him and wanting him to keep talking, "It started at a bakery. We were getting a cake ready. They wanted us to sample a few choices. But I accidentally got a slice that had been made with both Dairy Milk and butter."

"Double blow." Bibybab nodded.

"It was. I swelled up basically and My throat sealed up. My Fiancée had stab me with an epi pen to get my airways clear again. We decided to delay the wedding while I was in hospital getting my insides pumped out. The day before the wedding. My fiancée decided to pick up her dress really late at night because I was worried she wouldn't get it to the venue on time. She drove back home on the highway with me, and a truck came onto the wrong side and rammed into us. As soon as impact came. I fell unconscious."

"What happened then?" Ballora asked, Aaron did find it disturbing they wanted to know more about her death.

"I just remembered... waking up in the wreckage. I was trapped inside. I saw my fiancée outside the car trying to flag down someone. No one pulled over, until her jealous ex boyfriend saw her and decided to hit her. She died and I was left screaming her name until someone called for help after they saw me... after that I woke in hospital... and she was dead... all because she tried to help me."

"You might be sad and miserable! But I want to give BonBon what she wants!" Funtime Freddy exclaimed, "it's been more than 30 years since we were built! I've spend those years with her and I want to say thanks somehow!"

"Committing Suicide is a pretty interesting way to show it." Aaron raised his eyebrow.

"Ennard's not a threat to me! He's just a bully who likes to push us around!"

"He's asking for trouble right?" Aaron asked Baby.

"Maybe not."

"Are you fucking serious?"
