Chapter Two:

Two days later...

While Leah's mother visited an ailing relative for the week, Leah was left in charge of the household and her two younger brothers. As far as it being the first day without waking up to their mother, all was normal in the house for them.

Around noon time, Leah was seated at the kitchen table, filling out a job application for a waitressing position. "Shit..." she muttered under her breath, her eyes coming across something that could ruin her chances at the job. "Hope I can still forge mom's signature..."

"What about mom's signature?" asked a voice from behind her.

"Jesus!" Leah exclaimed. She spun around in her chair to find David standing there. "What the hell are you doing?!"

David took a step back and sipped from the can of soda in his hands. "Geez. Chill. I was wondering what the hell you were doing!" He then peeked over her shoulder and added, "And it looks like you're forging mom's signature- and you want to work at Freddy's? What are you- high?"

Leah rolled her eyes. "It's just a waitressing job. After Riley's party I saw that they were looking so I picked up an application." She then went back to jotting down her personal information. "And you know how it is these days: jobs are so hard to find."

"Why don't you get that night security job there?" David snickered afterwards. "Aren't they always looking for that one?"

She knew he was being sarcastic, but those words of his still annoyed her all the same. Breathing in and out deeply to ease her frustrations of him, she replied calmly, "I don't want any job where it involves any 'dismemberment'. I like living, thank you."

David kept a hand hovered over his mouth as he left the kitchen continuing to giggle at the idea to himself. As soon as he wasn't anywhere near, Leah went back to filling out the application. "If I get the house cleaned up and take care of Riley, I can drop this off- no problems," she mumbled to herself, and looked up at the kitchen clock. When she had previously grabbed the application, she read a small note on it that they weren't accepting anymore applicants after midnight tonight.

"When I'm done with everything, I can get David to watch Riley. Totally have everything planned out."

But she wasn't planning on David being absent the entire day.

Leah left several texts and voicemails to him, but has yet to respond back to her. Her stress levels began to rise.

She called some close friends, but they were busy for the rest of the day. Her stress levels were now rising higher.

She tried to calm herself; telling herself that she's still got a whole day to turn in the job application, so she went about the day as usual. She took care of the chores for the house. She watched over and cared for the rambunctious Riley whom caused her more grief then she ever would of thought. And, of course, she spent a lot of that time to texting her friends back and forth, and checking out her Facebook.

When she had nothing left to do, and when she grew slightly bored from all the tedious texting and Facebooking, she took up to browsing some magazines kept around the house...and eventually exhaustion came over her...and she fell asleep.

Fluttering her eyes open, Leah woke to the quietude of the night. She had taken rest upon the couch in the living room, having a few magazines laid about on her torso.

Moaning tiredly, she sat up on the couch.

"What time is it?..."

She stood up and shuffled her feet into the kitchen to get a peek at the clock. It was 11:45 pm. Her eyes instantly became saucers. "Oh...my god."

Leah's mind was racing miles a second, trying to figure out what to do about her situation. David has yet to come home, and checking back at her cellphone, she's seen that he had texted her earlier; saying he was going to stay at a friend's house for the night and won't be heard from again until sometime tomorrow. "Damn you, David!" She cursed under her breath, growling as she shoved the cellphone in her pants pocket. "What am I supposed to do? The application said it had to be turned in before midnight!"

She really wanted this summer job before going to school. It was so hard for her to find jobs available these days, with the current economy and all. Getting this job would also look promising for her resume in the future...

Weighing the pros and cons of it, she decided she was going to drive there after all, even if it meant leaving her other younger brother, Riley, unattended. "It's...it's just for a short time," she kept telling herself nervously. "I mean, I'm just gonna drop off the application and then come straight back home. Nothing will happen to him while I'm gone...right?"

Not wanting to hesitate on it any further, Leah grabbed the car keys and dashed out the door with her job application. She knew she had to be quick about this. Riley was sound asleep right now, but she sure didn't want him waking while she was out.

Luckily, Freddy Fazbear's pizzeria wasn't too far of a drive from home, making her feel a tad less worried about leaving Riley.

When she arrived at the restaurant sometime after midnight, she parked in front of the establishment and stayed seated in her car, attempting to peer into the windows from there. Unfortunately, there were no lights on inside the place, earning a disappointed moan on her end; and also suspicion played across her mind: why weren't there any lights on? Wasn't there supposed to be some night guards posted about this time?

"Great..." Leah grumbled, smacking her hands on the steering wheel in defeat. "What a waste of gas..."

She let out a weary sigh and began to put the car in reverse, but then, some lights flickered on from within the establishment. "What the...?" She stopped and stared at the place in bewilderment. "Did the night guard just get here?" After a few more moments of sitting and pondering, she ended up shrugging and turning the car off. "Let's get this over with."

Leah got out and went straight for the front doors and peeked inside. Even with the few lights on, it made it very difficult to see anything beyond two feet.

She knocked on the doors. "Hello! Anyone there?" She called out, and attempted to try the doors anyway, not expecting them to-

"Open?" She pulled on the door handles, not expecting them to just open like that. "Did the night guard unlock them or something?"

Once she stepped inside the restaurant, she got out her phone and used it's small light to help guide her way around; although it had almost little to no effect since the surrounding area was too large to illuminate.

Having everything casted in shadows and silhouettes sent chills through her. This was her first time ever coming to a place like this in the middle of the night, and she sure hoped this would be her last. Leah swallowed hard and proceeded to move her feet towards the lights in the distance.

The further she walked into the pizzeria, the more restful she got about all this. She was beginning to regret coming here so late. Since the place was almost in total darkness, it appeared much bigger than it was during the day, making it even more nerve-wracking to walk around like a headless chicken.

When she assumed she was in the dining area, her attention and cellphone were instantly drawn to the stage. She could scarcely tell, but it appeared that there was a curtain drawn over the main stage. Leah wasn't sure she should take it as a sign of relief for she couldn't see the animatronics behind it, or perhaps even more frightening since she had no idea what was going on behind said curtains. Whatever she thought, she continued along her way trying not to dwell on such things.

... Did she just hear the sound of heavy footing in the distance? She turned towards where she heard the noise, but there was no way of telling for sure if she really did see something just now. It looked like something...purple?

On her way, she happened to pass through Pirate Cove, and unlike the dining area, Foxy's curtain was wide open, earning a frightened gasp when her cellphone casted an ominous shadow on him. His appearance alone made Leah move a bit hastier. She could of sworn his lone eye was following her closely...

"Stop looking at me..." she whispered fearfully, and as she passed by him, she could of sworn she heard him contain his laughter. ... But that was impossible.

Finally, she reached her destination and where the source of light seemed to be coming from: a lone office, and the sign above the door confirmed it was the security office.

"Hello?! Is anyone here?!" Leah called around, taking careful steps into the small room.

Again, she thought she heard the movement of feet from somewhere nearby, but she couldn't be sure. "I'm just...I'm just gonna leave my application here." She took out her finished job application and set it down next to a large tablet of sorts. "Okay, so...hope...I'm not too late or anything..." Her voice trailed off with uncertainty laced in it as her eyes scanned the office for any signs of life. There was not much going on other than what she saw on the tablet screen. Upon closer inspection, Leah could see what appeared to be a map of the restaurant. She wasn't sure what to make of it.

Something had just fallen over in the distance, like the sound of someone kicking a metal bucket across the floor.

"H-hello?!" Leah tried again, but she was losing her edge. She wasn't sure if she even wanted to call out again, not knowing if there's really a night guard here...

Leah took one last look around the room before she spun around and began to make her way back to the front doors of the establishment, stumbling around in the darkness and out of the safety of the lights once again.

The girl tried as hard as she could to not focus on the little things that were getting her spooked, like the creaks and tweaks the building made on its own, to the so-called "pitter-patter" of feet that seemed to echo every once in a while. For this last one, and Leah prayed with all her might she might be seeing things, but every once in a while there seemed to be some figures following her cautiously. She would see blurs of them from the corners of her eyes. Shades of yellow...and that purple again.

She prayed so hard that it was all in her frightful imagination.

As she passed by Foxy's stage, she could not help but take a glance his way, shining her phone light on him. There was just something about the animatronic that...unnerved her very core, but at the same time, eerily drawn to it. She didn't know why she couldn't take her eyes off him...like the first time she noticed him... Of course, she snapped back into reality when that glimmer of his hook sparkled her way, and she hastily turned her head back around. From the corner of her eye, she could of sworn Foxy creaked his head in her direction.

Her pace quickened now, and rightfully so when she made her way through the dining area.

The home stretch now; she can now see the doors leading outside, and smiled to herself in relief of seeing her car.

Just as her hands grasped the handles, her smile instantly faded when the doors jammed. "What? Oh, no, no, no, no, no...!" She squealed, now shaking the handles with all the strength she could muster. No matter, those doors would not budge. They were locked tight.

She turned around, fear and aggravation now bubbling to the surface. "This isn't funny, you know!" She shouted into the darkness. "Whoever did this, let me out!" She waited a moment for someone to answer or perhaps come over to her, but...nothing.

Leah growled infuriately. "Let me out of here, you asshole!" She yelled, shaking the door handle again and giving it a kick for good measure. "LET ME OUT!"

After another minute of shouting her frustrations, she gave up and decided to head for the security office once again, hoping to find a way out from there or perhaps the keys to the doors. "Ugh...and my phone is dying..." she muttered irritably, looking over the small battery life she had left. "Damn flashlight function. Gotta leave enough battery to call the cops at least."

Leah took more confident strides towards that office, but as she passed on by Pirate Cove, she stopped dead in her tracks to what she saw-

-or what she didn't see on the stage...

Leah couldn't even speak as she shined her cellphone light on Foxy's stage, only to discover-

Foxy wasn't there!

She almost dropped her cellphone upon this discovery, taking a step back as she hovered a hand over her mouth to keep from screaming in fright.

"Oh...oh, my God!" She breathed frightfully, now getting closer to the stage to make sure she was seeing things correctly, but there was no mistaking it: Foxy had gone missing.

"Where the hell is he?!" She wondered, eyes darting to all spots around her. "Where the hell did he go?! These things just don't get up and walk away on their own! Not now!"

She couldn't stop her body from quaking.

"I've had it with this! -YOU HEAR ME!" She shouted loud enough for anyone to hear. "I'm calling the cops! I've seriously had enough of this sh-!"

Leah was then knocked to the floor, having been hit over the head by something very hard.

She laid there, going in and out of consciousness as she fought so hard to keep away the darkness that wanted to sweep over her. Her blurry, dazed eyes slowly rolled up as she heard the sounds of someone or something coming near. Whatever it was, its steps were loud, like heavy metal clicking the floor with every step it took.

Eventually looming over her was a large, tall figure, with a single glowing eye peering right down at her. She tried to voice her fears, but all she could do was hang her mouth open in terror.

The figure kneeled down and very carefully scooped her up in its arms. She felt herself moving with it, but to where it was carrying her, she didn't know.

Her eyes moved to get a glimpse of her captor's face before she lost all consciousness, but she couldn't make out any normal facial features for her to register. Well...any human features, anyway.

"F...Foxy?..." She mumbled as she became limp in his arms.

"Don't fret, lass. Yer home now. ...heheheeh..."
