~ Summer 1986, 10 years later ~

Kai's PV

I woke up to the sound of my alarm, great, another day doing nothing, when I turned off the alarm I sat on my bed while I stretched out, there was no one else living with me in my little apartment, I have not lived with my parents, they have suffered since the disappearance of my sister Nya, and I still can't get over her loss, I still remember the last time I saw her, the time they told us she had disappeared, the time I felt great sadness in me, sometimes I I blamed myself for not accompanying her to the pizzeria, it also saddens me that I will no longer see my best friends, I felt very alone without them here with me. He even asked me what happened to them.

As I always did my normal routine for the day, I get out of bed, bathe, dress, eat breakfast, and read the newspaper to find any job. They have already fired me from several jobs since I have not been able to adapt to them, but at least I was able to receive payments from them, I have even done interviews for jobs and I still have not received their calls, to support me, my parents sometimes sent money to rent and buy what is necessary.

As always I could not find anything in the newspaper, there were not so many jobs this year, as usual I leave my apartment and start my walk around the city to find jobs, I always take the bus or the subway to get to the city center.
Once I got to the center, I began to wander the streets as always trying to find a job poster among businesses, but as always there was nothing, I suppose this will be another day like any other.
So that the day passes quickly I always go to a bar, anyway I'm old enough to drink, I always come here to regret my life, since Nya left my parents' life and mine was ruined, I was able to finish my years school but not with such good grades, I had no intention of going to university since I never chose a career, my parents had to accept with difficulty that Nya was already dead and I unfortunately also had to accept it as well as the "death" of my friends.

Since I lost them all I have not smiled at life again, at school I could not make more friends since then, I have seen myself as an anti-social, at least I have been able to get ahead, only with not good spirits.
After spending a few hours in the bar I got some food in a store, I took the subway to take me on the way to the apartment. When I got to the door I could see a rolled up newspaper on the floor, it seems that the boy who distributes the newspapers passed by my door and apparently he knew that it was not there, I think he decided to leave the newspaper on the floor for when he arrived he would see it.
When I picked it up, I opened the door and went inside, put the newspaper on the kitchen table, took what I bought from the store out of the bag and prepared my food. When I finished preparing everything, I normally sat at my table and started eating, took the newspaper and read it a little, looked in the jobs section and saw that there were not so many to my liking.

Until I found an advertisement that caught my attention, it was the advertisement for Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, my favorite childhood place, it had the image of Freddy the bear and had a job advertisement:

"Night guard job, position available"

I already know that nothing is needed to be a guard, luckily I studied security, it could be a great job for me, but I still have my doubts about that place, I know that I spent the best moments of my childhood there, but not yet I forget what happened there, it is a day that I will never forget, also my parents and the parents of my friends told me never to return to that place, ever, but that was a long time ago.

When the night fell I was already lying in my bed thinking about having a job or not at the pizzeria, I know about the things that had happened there, but the questions were still rolling through my mind.

- Maybe ... If I go there again ... Can I find out ... what happened to Nya and the others? - I said to myself, but that question seemed to sound silly - No. That sounds absurd. They are gone, accept it - I have to accept that they are already dead.

Rolling over on my bed, I fixed my gaze on the photos that were pasted on the wall, several of those were taken in the pizzeria next to the animatronics, standing from my bed I approached the photos and looked at all of them in detail, each memory of those photos it went through my head, rose with my fingers one in particular, I was there, like my friends; Cole, Zane, Jay, Lloyd, Morro and my sister Nya hugging each other shoulder to shoulder, nostalgia for those memories invaded me, my interior told me that I could still find them, but that is impossible, it has been 10 years since their disappearance, they may actually already be dead.

- Nya ... Guys ... - My voice sounded a bit shattered to have those memories again that for me were no longer happy, but sad.

~ The next day ~

As I walked I stopped in front of the pizzeria, I thought about it and this may be my last chance to get money of my own.

- "I must be crazy for doing this" - I said to myself in my mind as I pushed the door open and entered the pizza place. As I entered various memories wandered through my head, the times I was here as a child.

Being inside I could see that not everything was when I was a child, well everything was the same but it was not the same, there were not many people as I remembered, perhaps it was because it was still early. Among the crowd I could see a security guard, he had the typical guard hat and his uniform, he had long hazel hair, he even had a half-shaved beard, because of his appearance he seemed to be about 30 years old, maybe he can help, so I reached out to him.

- Sorry? -

- Hi, how can I help you? - Asked the guard kindly towards me.

- Well I came for the job of the newspaper ad -

- The night watchman? -

- Yes -

- Yes, I already assumed, many do not want that position, you know? -

- If I already realized - I answered while looking at the place almost not so crowded.

- I mean the rumors of the place, boy. Haven't you heard them? -

- Actually, yes - I answered honestly while rolling my eyes.

- Well look, I've already been working here for two years, and to be honest, I haven't seen anything strange in this place, not at least during the day, of course. But the night shift guards are the ones who never last here -

- Yes I know -

- By the way, my name is Ronin - the guard introduced himself as we shook both hands in greeting.

- Kai -

- Very good, Kai, follow me and I will guide you to the head of the pizzeria -

When Ronin guided me to the office of the head of the pizzeria, I could see the other rooms in the establishment, in a corridor I could see the Parts and Services room in the background and some kind of feeling came over me, I don't know how explain it but it seemed that something had happened in there and I stared at him for a while.

- Hey, kid, don't be late, let's go - I heard Ronin from a distance as he pulled me out of that trance I had. So I kept following him while he forgot about the room.

When we got to the door of the office of the head of the place, Ronin gave a soft knock and I heard a voice saying; "Come in" coming from the other side of the door, surely it is the voice of the boss, in that Ronin, opened the door and there I saw for the first time the boss of the pizzeria ordering some papers.

- With your permission, boss -

- Hi, Ronin, what brings you here? - Said the boss as he watched as he continued ordering his papers until he noticed me.

- Boss, you introduced Kai. Kai, this is my boss Mr. Chen -

- A pleasure Mr. Chen - I saluted politely towards him.

- The pleasure is mine, Kai. And tell me what brings you here? -

- Well I came for the night guard post that I saw in the newspaper advertisement -

- Oh yeah. Ad. Ronin, can you give us a few minutes alone? -

- Sure sir - I heard Ronin as he left the office and closed the door behind me.

- Take a seat, Kai - in that I take a seat in one of the chairs that were in front of the desk - Well, tell me why do you want to be a guard at the pizzeria? -

- Well let's say I need money and I have not been able to get a job to my liking -

- Do you bring your CV? - I nod as I handed him my resume that I had kept in my red hooded jacket - Well, I see you've been fired from several jobs, why? -

- Let's say those jobs were not within my reach -

- I get it. Well, I can see that you have experience with security. And that's what this place needs, security. I want that to represent you so clients feel safe -

- And I suppose you mean the rumors here, right? -

- Yes, for those reasons. I'm surprised you're not afraid to work here as a night guard, not with everything that happened to the ancients -

- Don't worry, those things don't scare me -

- I'm very happy to hear that and that is why you are hired ... - I look at my resume - Kai Smith -

- Thank you very much Mr. Chen - I said as we both got up from our seats and shook hands, signifying that our contract was done.

- Well go tell Ronin about what you are hired and he will give you your guard uniform and tomorrow you will show up again he will guide you in everything you need to know to be a night guard - he told me as he accompanied me to the door.

- This well -

- Good, see you Kai -

- See you Mr. Chen - I said goodbye and went back to the hall. When I got to the end I saw Ronin there leaning against the wall as he watched the people in the pizzeria, until he noticed me approaching.

- And how did it go well? -

- I'm the new night guard at the pizzeria now -

- Good, boy, I mean, Kai. Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza -

- Thanks, I guess -

- Come, I'll give you your new uniform - I followed him to a room that said "Employee's room" and there he gave me my gray guard uniform like the typical guard hat, he also gave me my name tag - Introduce yourself early tomorrow morning so I can give you the reports before night, and from there maybe I'll introduce you to the other employees -

- This well -

Nobody's PV

As Kai went outside, he didn't realize that a purple-colored guard was looking at him in full with an interesting look because he seemed to know why Kai was here, he seemed interested in who the new employee was.
In that he turned to see the animatronics that were entertaining some children and his dark thoughts only forced him to make a sick and sinister smile, because he seemed to know what they would do to the new one on his first night of work.

When Kai arrived at his apartment he began to prepare his new uniform for his first day of work tomorrow. When the night fell, Kai's thoughts turned to his new job, the place where he went many times as a child to have fun with his friends and sister along with his beloved animatronics. But those times are over for Kai still wondering what would happen when working there, would he discover something about Nya and her friends? About what actually happened to them? Would he discover the truth about their disappearances?

~ The next day ~

When it was daylight, Kai had gotten up early to get ready for his first day of work. When he was ready, he took the bus that would take him to the pizzeria, when he got there he entered and saw that there were more people than yesterday and there he could see Ronin and approached him.

- Ah, Kai, if you came, I'm glad, come and I'll show you the rest of the pizzeria so you can get your bearings -

In that Ronin showed Kai the entire pizzeria and took him to places that turned out to be: the kitchen, the cellar, the warehouse, the corridors, bathrooms, pantries, the entire pizzeria. Until they reached the parts and services room.

- And here is the parts and services room, here we keep the pieces that the animatronics occupy, you can see there heads, costumes and robotic skeletons that the robots occupy - Ronin explained to Kai who stared at the place seriously.

- So here they keep parts of the animatronics, right? - Kai asked.

- Yes, but they hardly take care, the animatronics have not had failures or accidents -

- I see -

- Come on I want to introduce you to the other guards - Ronin led Kai to the last room that was the employee lounge.

When Ronin arrived, he opened the door and inside were two men and a woman with red hair who was preparing a coffee.

- Hey guys, I want you to meet the new one -

- New, Ronin? - Asked the red-haired girl.

- Yes. May I introduce you to Kai Smith, the new night guard - At the mention of "night guard" the three guards fixed their eyes on Kai.

- The boy must be crazy - the black-haired man huffed while watching his play on the cards.

- Kai, this is Clutch, day guard, just like Dareth, the guy who's playing with him and Skylor - he said, introducing the other brown-haired male guard and the red-haired girl.

- A pleasure Kai - the girl named Skylor introduced herself.

- We bet the boy doesn't last here? - Said the man named Dareth playfully.

- Please Dareth, be nice to the boy - Ronin said as he looked around knowing that someone was missing - Hey, and Vincent? -

- He left, as always, who knows where he went - Clutch replied without stopping playing.

- Vincent? - Kai asked.

- Yes, he is the only night guard here, well he is also on the day shift since he was one of the first guards to work here. But I warn you, he is very ... weird - Ronin explained.

- I would say terrifying - Dareth concluded.

- And mysterious - Clutch added.

- Yes, the subject is something strange - Skylor said.

But then Ronin heard footsteps down the hall and saw that it was Vincent walking towards the staff room, the man was dressed in the typical purple uniform, and his eyes seemed to be lifeless, but his appearance looked a A little older and his facial features had completely changed and he now had some stubble on his chin, but it wasn't much, not to mention that his hair had grown quite long causing it to be tied into a rather low ponytail. Kai felt something strange within himself being close to the man.

- Ah, Vincent, how good you are, I want to introduce you to Kai Smith, he is the new night guard -

- Yes, I know who he is, the boss already told me about him - Vincent's voice sounded a bit deep and a bit sinister to Kai, but surprisingly it sounded neutral and normal - It's nice to have you here Kai, welcome to Freddy's fun Fazbear's Pizza, good luck to you on your first night here - he retired after giving Kai an almost malicious smile.

Kai, seeing Vincent's behavior, got a little uncomfortable, he sensed that this man was hiding something since he was very suspicious.

- * ahem * Kai let me show you the office where you will be working overnight - Ronin then led Kai to the night guards office.

When he got to the office, Kai saw that the place was somewhat small, but it had two large windows on each side as well as two large metal doors that close down with just pressing the red buttons since the white ones were for light. .

- Here - Ronin hands Kai a tablet.

- What's it for? -

- This tablet will show you everything that the security cameras installed in the pizzeria see. Look, I'll show you - turn on the tablet and the image of what is happening in the main area of ​​the pizzeria is displayed on the screen - See? And so you can change position - he began to press the buttons that changed the position of the image on the screen - You can see the corridors, the bathrooms, the kitchen, the stage, the party area. Everything that happens in the pizzeria, these cameras will help you see everything -

- Why is the kitchen area not visible? -

- Oh. That, the camera has been failing lately so we installed an audio system for it. You can hear everything that happens there -

- I get it. And what else should I know? -

- Well on this phone, Vincent, I have recorded messages for the night shift guards to help them get through their first nights. Well some rules would be: do not bring weapons, do not leave here until six in the morning, keep everything under lock and key and do not let anyone enter or leave here -

That last thing about "no one getting out of here" confused Kai a bit, it's only supposed to be the inside, right? And who would be here so late (other than him)?

- That would be all? -

- Yes. That would be all, present you here around 11:30 at night since your shift will begin at 12 o'clock -

- Agree -

- Good luck on your first night on the job, Kai Smith - I would also recommend that you sleep all day before coming, but it is your decision if you want to stay until we close -

Kai was thoughtful at Ronin's advice whether to stay or go to rest.
