Darlene’s POV: “Darlene? Are you sure you’re okay?” “*sniff* Yea…I did what had to be done. I don’t even know who the father was anyway…” “You sure you couldn’t take care of her?” “Not without the father.” I looked back at the orphanage. “I’m sure Lavender will be fine. I’ll…miss her though…” Samuel hugged me, comforting me. My boyfriend then kneeled down and pulled out a ring, getting rid of any negative feelings I had at that moment. “Will you marry me, Darlene?” I was speechless at the moment. I collapsed onto my knees as tears of joy escaped my eyes. “Of course I will!” He picked me up and kissed me passionately. Once he set me on my feet, I turned over to look at a tree. “What is it?” Samuel asked. “I thought someone was watching us…watching me…” I shiver a bit from nervousness. “I’m sure it’s fine…” he said, rubbing my sides. We then headed back home, though I once again felt like I was being watched.
-about 5 years later-
“Aww…do you have to find a job?” “Sorry, sweetie, but if you want extra money to spend on your birthday, I need to find a job. We’re tight on money right now, anyway.” Maria pouted and continued to play on my old Nintendo 64. I looked through the newspaper, but I didn’t find anything. Just then, Samuel came over to me with my phone, which was ringing. “Hello?” I asked. “Um…hello? Hello, Darlene? I was wondering if you would like to take on the job as a night guard at the new Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza next week?” It was Chris! I do remember him saying I had a job at an old one (though I don’t really remember that), so I said, “Sure!” I smile when he told me I got the job. I ended the call and told Samuel what job I had. “But mooooooom! I wanna play with you more!” Maria whined. “Now Maria, you’re 5 going on 6. You don’t need to whine. If I don’t take this job, we won’t have enough money to go where we plan on taking you on your birthday.” “Wait, we’re taking her somewhere?” Samuel asked me, raising an eyebrow. “What did I just tell you?” I asked incredulously, “Don’t you remember our agreement we had when Maria was still inside my belly?” I may be slightly screwed up in the head, but at least I don’t have short/long-term memory loss. “Oh, right,” he said, finally getting it.
-at the pizzeria, 3 days later-
???’s POV: I still remember that day…5 years ago…when Samuel proposed to my girl. As much as I don’t want her to remember my true colors…sometimes I wished she remembered the other stuff we did. We would chat together. I drove her to the pizzeria and back during her final nights as a night guard. We even had a daughter (albeit accidentally), but she gave her to an orphanage because she couldn’t remember who the fucking father was! I glared at the three animatronics on stage. I could still feel the presence of those 11 spirits, meaning they were still restless. They want Darlene back. I’m sure of it. That’s odd…I feel another presence…a 12th spirit? Maybe I’m getting overwhelmed. I probably just need to get outta here for a while. As I walk out, though, I heard a voice, but no one was around me to talk to me…It almost sounded like someone I worked with at the old pizzeria 6 years ago… “Don’t you dare lay finger on Darlene!”
