A/N: Hope it was worth the wait

Prologue

Two weeks before the party

I was just walking around the restaurant like I usually did when dad would bring me with him to work because mom had to run an errand. I usually kept to the play area but for some reason I wandered off. I just started walking toward the hallway that led to my dad's office. I wasn't planning on going in, so I was about to turn back when I started to get the feeling that I was being watched. I looked around until my eye caught a glimpse of something in an unusually dark corner. Usually I'd be running with tears in my eyes at this point. I always do when something begins to scare me, but I felt compelled to see what it was. I made my way to the corner and saw that it was just a Fredbear plush.

"Now how did this get here?" I asked as I picked it up.

"I could almost ask you the same question", said a voice behind me. I gave a bit of a shriek as I spun around holding the plush close to me. I relaxed a bit once I saw it was just the phone guy. Well, his real name is P.J. but me and my dad like to call him the phone guy since he is always in charge of the phone calls and leaves all the phone messages for new employees.

"Chris what are you doing out here? You know kids are suppose to stay in the party area", Phone guy said.

"Sorry", I replied, "I was just walking around to pass the time but then I found this lying around", I showed him the plush toy. Phone guy took the bear to examine it. "Hmm… guess some kid must have come through here too and left their toy", he concluded.

"Better put it in the Lost 'n Found". He looked it over to see if there would be a name on it, when I suddenly blurted out "Do we have too?" I quickly slapped my hands to my mouth.

Phone guy looked at me with confusion. "It's kind of the rules kid, why do you ask?" he replied.

Honestly I don't know why I asked that, all I know is that I just have this desire to have that bear, and not because the Fredbear plushie was the only one I don't have. I just want it and it makes me feel safe. So I answered as honestly as I could without making it feel strange.

"I guess I just was hoping I could keep it". Phone guy chuckled, "I see you were hoping to finally get the Fredbear plush toy, weren't you?" I nervously chuckled too, "yeah". That does explain it; I have been dying to get the FredBear plushie for a while now.

"Sorry kid, rules are rules. Unless you're full name is writ…" Phone guy cut himself off as he looked at something on the bear. I came over to his side too see what he was looking at and there it was under the foot written childishly in black ink, my full name. "You sure you just found this?" he asked looking at me. "Yeah it was just here, never saw it before now", I answered.

"Hmm, odd"

"So does this mean I can keep it?" I asked. Phone guy was about to say something, but I cut him off with, "I promise if the owner comes to reclaim their toy I will give it back", I then gave him, "Oh not the puppy dog eyes", he said.

I continued to look pleadingly until, "Alright, alright you can have it until the actual owner gets back. Consider it somewhat of an early birthday present; just don't get too disappointed if you have to give it back".

"Yes! Thank you, thank you", I replied as I took back the Plush as Phone guy just laughed and ruffled my hair. "Don't mention it. Now you better get back to the play area before your old man catches you", and so I headed back.

20 minutes or so later

"Night Vince, night Chris", Phone guy said as we headed out. "Night, take care P.J.", said my dad. "Bye", I said.

My dad didn't mind about the new toy though I doubt PG even mentioned about me finding it in the corner.

Anyways we continued our walk home. We lived pretty close to the restaurant so we never drove.

"So, you had a good day?" my dad asked. "Yeah, I did", I replied. "Always beats having to stay at home". I almost regretted saying that. My dad frowned but said nothing. The reason why I usually go with my dad when my mom is out is because they no longer trust Terrence to watch over me. Terrence is my older brother, and his favorite thing to do is scare me. He absolutely hates me. He always hides and jumps out with his foxy mask on and scares me. For a long time mom and dad didn't know till one day they went out and left Terrence bring his friends over. It was always worst when his friends joined in the 'fun'. In an attempt to get away from the torture that was sure to come I hid away in the attic. It was spooky but Terrence didn't know about it so I enjoyed it. Anyways I ended up falling asleep. When I woke up I could hear mom and dad yelling. I climbed down from the attic to see what was going on. I went to the kitchen where screaming were coming from.

"Why didn't you call us or the police when you couldn't find Chris!" our mother yelled at Terrence.

"Uh… I right here", I said as I came into the room. Everyone in the kitchen turned toward me

"Chris", My Mom said as she ran to me and hugged me. My dad came towards me with a relieved expression it turned stern when he began questioning me.

"Where have you been? Why didn't you answer when we were calling you, and why couldn't we find you?"

"Sorry, I fell asleep and didn't hear you guys", I said hoping he would leave it at that, but he didn't.

"But we checked every inch of your room and you were no where there, so where were you?" my dad asked again, angry that I hadn't answered the question. Mom pulled away and looked me in the eye wanting to know too.

I sighed and answered, "I was in the attic". "The attic?" my dad repeated. "Wait", Terrence interrupted, "We have an attic?"

My dad shook his head and turned back to me, "What were you doing in the attic?" I quickly glanced at Terrence who gave me a death glare. I looked down at the floor and said no reason that I had just wanted to be there but dad had caught my glance and saw Terrence's glare.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Maybe we should continue this alone. Terrence you and your friends should go to your room".

"Okay", Terrence mumbled as he and his friends left. Dad then knelt down beside me and softly said, "Now listen Chris, I want you to tell me the truth. I don't care if someone told you not to. Please I want the truth right now" and so I told them everything.

Terrence was grounded for a month and not allowed to hang out with his friends, except during school. They asked me if he was doing the same thing to Brandy, our little sister, but I told them no. He treats her completely different. Probably because she's younger, and wouldn't hesitate to tell on him.

Things didn't get better after that. Terrence now hates me more than he did before. Our parents have been trying everything to help us get along but and get upset when none of it works. Honestly I doubt we ever will.

When we got to our house I started getting this strange feeling that something was following us. When I looked back no one was there. It was weird but I shrugged it off and went inside. Then a week later, the nightmares began.
