15 hours 30 minutes

One day has passed since the disappearance of three children. The bodies, as expected, were not found, so Thomas, Agnes and Bella are now missing children. Just like the others. Gloria and Anthony were very nervous and worried — after all, they were already losing their second child. Bella's mom, Kathleen, was very scared and upset about her daughter's disappearance. She used to either walk with Cal or go with the others to save the world, because there she was at least under the supervision of adults. And even though she ran away somewhere, she always returned on time. But not this time. Regina had asked her to stay with them yesterday, and Kathleen had ended up crying at the Deveraux house all evening. And Cal was sitting in his room with Gil and Joe. And they couldn't believe it.

Bella and the others are dead.

They didn't need any proof. There were too many of them to realize that they would not help in any way. Perhaps their souls stayed with the others, or perhaps they went to heaven. However, none of these options pleased a bit.

Flint was trying to invent something at the time, but nothing except the incident at the pizzeria came to mind. How could this happen? Flint, while everyone was looking for children, managed to invent a remote control that was supposed to track down the location of the children. But he only showed that such people do not exist at all! The guy tried to fix this mistake, but every time it showed the same thing. And if, as Cal and Gil had told him, Bella was dead, then why? One day Flint invented a machine, and it showed that Bella was destined to become a famous chef in the future, as the girl herself wanted, but how would she do it if she was dead? The inventor refused to believe it. They are missing, but alive, he is sure of it, yes...

Sam wasn't in the best condition either. She came to school at the same time as Bella, and they were both new there. Although Bella was received a little better than Sam, because kid loves sardines, the girls quickly became friends. And Bella was too cunning to deceive her, because without her it would hardly have been possible to save the world. For the first time in all her acquaintance with Gil, she spent more time with the guy, because he knew much more than Sam herself, and therefore, as his crush, he told her about all the evidence and William Afton. Samantha believed him, because he even showed these clues, and Joe confirmed everything, and the girl was shocked by what she saw.

Brent missed Bella, because although she was sometimes arrogant and annoying, she was not bad. Until she gets angry or if puts a cat next to her. Brent remembered how he once slipped her a package with a bunch of kittens inside. As a result, she set a flock of squirrels and ratbirds on him, and Brent realized that it was better not to try jokes with kittens on Bella. And now Brent remembers it and laughs as if it wasn't fatal for him. Still, there were good times...

Cal lost the desire to do anything. Fortunately, at least he doesn't have to go to school. However, he will never be able to move away from this. He doesn't sleep, doesn't eat much, and just lies in his bed or plays with Dal, although he can't call it a game. Even Dal had no desire to play with his older brother. He was moody and just wanted to see Bella and play with her. Cal can't tell him that Bella will never come to them again, right? Sometimes Cal would stop by a pillar and look at the paper with missing Bella and the others. Sometimes he just imagined that she was standing next to him, laughing loudly, as she always did. Sometimes he just regretted that day. Cal wanted to go back in time and save Bella. But alas, Flint can't invent something like that yet. The parents are only trying to cheer up their son and say that Bella and the others will definitely be found. He would like to believe that. Because of this, Earl even decided to help the police with the investigation, but everything was just as unsuccessful as with the incident at the pizzeria of Freddy Fazbear and his friends.

Because of the missing child, everyone who came from the Swallow Falls had to stay, as they could not leave without Bella. It was not known how long they would stay, however, for a long time. The whole Swallow Falls' school knew Bella, and everyone wanted Bella to be found alive. Chester and Barb wanted it as much as the others. Barb became friends with Sam and Bella, and they sometimes hung out together. Besides, Bella had never called Barb a monkey since they met. Chester didn't treat Bella very well at first, as she stole Flint's machine from under his nose, but later she helped him make friends with the guy himself and his friends. A wonderful child, there's no other way to say it.

And what about Bella herself? She just wanted to be reborn with the others and return to her mother and friends. To say that everything is fine. That it's all over. That everything will be fine now.

Her train of thought was interrupted by Jeremy, who sat down next to the girl.

- How are you? - he asks. - Although you don't have to answer. I know.

- How long are we here now? - Bella asks.

- I don't know. But for a long time. We won't be able to get out so quickly and so easily. There is a time for everything. Everything will happen, but not immediately.

- Which of us got here first? I mean, not to the pizzeria itself, but to the whole place... A complicated story.

- Elizabeth Afton. - Jeremy looks at Lisa and Naomi standing nearby. - She was killed by her father's creation. This creation was not supposed to kill her, but another person. Elizabeth is the one who shouldn't have been killed.

- But she's dead. - Bella continues. - She knows a lot more about all this than the rest of us. No wonder she's in charge here.

- I would like our old animatronics to be moved here as well. - Gabriel sits down next to the children. - It would be a little easier.

- I agree. - Bella answers.

16 hours

The children were trying to have fun looking for something in an empty pizzeria. There are no guards, the building was also closed and abandoned, because after a series of accidents, no one will come to the pizzeria for a hundred percent. It remained to wait for the continuation of the story. Something's going to happen anyway.

- What a lovely ribbon! - Charlie crawls out from under the table, holding a tattered red ribbon in her hands. - I'll keep it for myself.

First, the girl ties a bow on her hair, and then flaunts in front of the mirror. Later, she takes it off and puts it in the pocket of her hoodie.

- Wow, what glasses! What kind of people forget such cool things? - Olivia smiles, putting on round glasses. She sits down at the table and looks at the cover of a book that someone has also forgotten. "Humans and Monsters: All about their lives"

- Interesting. - Olive says, opening the book and reading it.

At this time, Bella and Elizabeth were chatting about everything in the world.

- Imagine, you live in peace, they arrange a celebration in a pizzeria, and you come to it. You have fun, and then you're invited to a game, you think it's going to be fun, you go, and then... You're dying. - Bella says the last word in a creepy voice.

- I have almost the same thing, only I wanted to play with my dad's animatronic, and she... Killed me. - Elizabeth says the last two words in the same creepy voice.

- When do you think something big will happen? - Bella asks.

- I don't know. - Elizabeth replies, sipping a milkshake. - But I think it will be something super-scale!

And they are right.
