Aurora Bancroft, age 21, was the newest employee at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, and she was just about to start her first day as the nighttime security guard. She had no idea why so many people had backed out of this job. Mike Schmidt, her best friend and the last person to do the job, had warned her not to do it. He strangely refused to tell her why he had quit. She arrived at the door of the building and reached out to pull the door open, but hesitated. She remembered what Mike had said to her the day before:
"The shift is unbearable! I almost went insane!"
Aurora thought about the words for a minute. After convincing herself that Mike was just exaggerating, she dismissed his opinion and opened the doors. All three of the animatronic characters were on stage.
"Heh. They're kinda cute," she said to herself. "I have no idea why Mike is so terrified by them."
She started to walk to her office, but she stopped abruptly and glanced back at the animatronics again. She moved a few steps, still watching them closely. She could have sworn she saw Bonnie's eyes following her as she moved, but she dismissed the idea with a shrug. She couldn't go crazy. Not on her first night.
"It's probably all in my head," she muttered. She sat down in a chair and examined her surroundings. The office was a nice place. It wasn't too big, it wasn't too small, and everything was easy to get to.
Then the phone rang.
"Oh, how nice! Someone left a message for me." Aurora smiled. But as she listened to the guy on the phone talk, her smile quickly turned into a horrified expression. The animatronics were going to try to forcibly stuff her into a Freddy Fazbear suit?! She could die?! This was why Mike was terrified by this job. Aurora looked through the security cameras in a panic. Chica was missing. Chica wasn't in the dining room, she wasn't in the restrooms, she wasn't in the kitchen, and she wasn't in the halls. Where could she be?
Realizing there was only one place Chica could be, Aurora turned on the door light to her right. The flashing lights revealed a huge animatronic chicken. She shut the door, startled. She sighed with relief and checked the camera. All of the animatronics were gone. She turned on the door light again. Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica were all at the door to Aurora's right. She growled in frustration.
"Stop using up all of my power!" she shouted.
She looked at camera 1C, Pirate's Cove. The curtain was supposed to be closed, but it was wide open, and the sign that said "Sorry, Out Of Order" now said "IT'S ME".
"Oh no!"
Aurora tried to close the door, but Foxy charged in and tackled her. Her head slammed against the floor and she was knocked out.
