The Golden Manipulator

Prologue

It was a normal day at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. Children were running around playing and laughing while their guardians kept a watchful eye on them. A small girl went over to Pirate Cove and looked at the curtains that were closed. She wanted to see the red-furred fox that was behind there.

“Momma, why can’t the fox come out yet?” the little girl asked.

“It’s not time for him to, sweetie,” the mother replied. “He’ll be out soon, okay?”

“Alright!”

The little girl ran off to play while she waited for the fox’s time to come out. She went over to where Freddy, Bunny, and Ducky were at, and smiled up at the robotic animals. They smiled down at the girl, and the purple rabbit pat her on the head, making her giggle and chuckle.

“Hello!” she greeted.

“Hello little girl,” they greeted her.

“How are you today?”

“Good!” the girl charmed.

“That’s good to hear,” Ducky replied, smiling.

“Uh-huh! I’m waiting for Foxy to come out! He promised he’d come out and see me!”

“He’ll be out before you know it,” Freddy told her. “Give him time, okay?”

“I am, Freddy.”

“That’s good to hear.”

While the adults were out putting on a show for everyone, the kids were stuck in the back, only able to watch. Their mothers and fathers didn’t want them getting hurt by one of the kids or other humans, although they knew that it wasn’t be that they meant too. Besides, the kids were too young to be out at the moment. While this was going on, the kids took this time to talk over what had been going on as of late.

“Have you guys noticed strange things that have been going on?” a dark red fox kit with a pale yellow tail-tip, and light purple eyes, asked.
“Yeah, I have,” a pale yellow duck (or chicken if you think Ducky/Chica is a chicken) with light purple eyes as well, replied.

“So have I,” a brown bear with blue eyes, added.

“Me too,” agreed a dark purple rabbit with a pinkish color underbelly, inside of her ears, and under her tail, with dark brown paws, and ear-tips, with dark blue eyes.

“What do you think it is?” the fox kit questioned. “The grown up act different at night time then they do during the day. Not only that, but I’ve been hearing an odd voice at night too when they act funny.”

“I know what you mean,” the bear cub agreed. “I heard it too. What about you two?”

The rabbit and duck nodded in agreement with the two males.

“I’ve heard it.”

“As have I.”

“It sounds almost like Dad’s laughter when he goes after the night guard, only a bit different.. More deeper and creepier sounding,” the cub commented. “Mother tells me that it’s nothing, but I know it’s something.”

The other three members of the children agreed to this as well. They had also heard the odd noises at night, but they were always told that it was nothing, and to go back to sleep while they took care of the night guard that was there that night, if he didn’t quit on the first night that is.

“I say that tonight, we go and see what the noise is when we hear it,” the ducklet said. “Then we’ll see what’s going on at night.”

“Are you sure that’s a good idea, Chicky?” the dark red-furred fox kit questioned, looking at his older sister.

“It’s the only way we’re going to get answers to the questions that we have,” she replied. “The grown ups won’t like it, but what choice do we have?”

“We could just ask them,” the purple rabbit spoke up. “They should tell us after all.”

“You know as well as I do they won’t tell us, Springer,” the bear cub told her.

“Yeah, I know.. But at least it’s better than nothing right?”

“She has a point you know,” the fox kit spoke up, defending the rabbit. “Even so, I think we should go and sneak out when we hear the noise. It’s better than just waiting around for something to happen after all.”

“I agree with Kasai,” Chicky said, nodding towards her little brother. “If we just sit around doing nothing but talking about this, we’ll never find out what’s going on with them at night. But, we all need to be at agreement with this. What do you all say?”

The fox kit nodded. “I’m with my sister on this one.”

“I’m with them too,” Springer spoke up.

Everyone looked at the brown bear cub now, who had got silent.

“Tedi? What do you think?” the ducklet asked. “You have just as much say so in this as we do.”

The cub was silent for a moment longer, before he nodded his head, looking at his three friends.

“I’m with you guys on this. Tonight, we’ll go and see what the noise is, and what’s going on with the adults at night. I wanna know why they go and kill the night guard in the first place, and the noise that we’ve all been hearing.”

“Then it’s agreed then. Tonight, we go and see what’s been happening,” Kasai said.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Unknown to them and everyone else, a golden figure watched in the shadows with his dark, empty, souless eyes.
