~Gregory's POV~

Arriving home I saw grandfather sitting on the couch flipping through the channels and sipping on some coffee. "Grandpa can I come to work with you tomorrow," I asked as Grandfather turned his head and looked at me. "Sure buddy beside how about tonight since I need to do some maintenance to the animatronics tonight due to a glitch in their system that almost caused an accident today," he said as he stood up and stretched his limbs. Walking with him we got into the car and he drove to the pizzeria and he parked in the parking lot that was only for the employees. 

"Alright Gregory I'll be in the back room working on the animatronics and you can explore all you want just remember to stay out of the fitting rooms alright," grandfather lectured me for a few minutes before going into the building and heading towards to the backroom. Walking around I was looking for anything that could hit that mother was here. But I saw nothing and the aura in the pizzeria started to give me the creeps. Until I walked past the prize corner that's when I started to hear humming. Looking towards the prize corner I saw nothing but the counter and the gift box that holds the puppet inside. "Gregory, where are you boy I need your assistant for a minute," I heard grandfather call me from the other room. 

So I just turned out of prize corner and went to the room grandfather was in fixing the animatronics. "What's up grandpa?" I asked as he looked up to me.  "Well I need some of my tools out of the car and a radio that's sitting in the kitchen so that way I can get into work, " Grandfather said with a small smile and put down one of the many tools that littered across the table.  I just nodded my head and began to walk out to the car and saw that the tools that grandfather was talking about was sitting on the back seat.  Opening the door I grabbed the tool box and........  it felt as if something or someone was watching from inside the pizzeria. 

Turning around I saw nothing and just shugged it off thinking it was just my imagination.  Shutting the car door I walked back inside and grabbed the radio that was lazily sitting on the party table like it was nothing.  Wait a moment.  Didn't grandfather say that the radio was in the kitchen.  Dis he forget he placed it out here and forgot about it.  Shaking my head I just grabbed it and just brought it to grandfather, who was humming softly to himself as he looked down at some blueprints for some of the animatronics.  "Here you go grandpa,  might you be needing anything else," I said in a fake happy voice as grandfather looked up at me once more. 

"Nah, your fine.  You can go play, just be careful,  alright," Grandfather said as he took the tools and radio from me.  He turned around and began working on a new animatronics that were suppose to be better than the originals. But I think that's bull but I'm supposed to be a stupid kid.  But-

🎵Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
They strung up a man
They say who murdered three
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree 🎵

Who was that,  it's coming from the kitchen.  I slowly made my way to the kitchen to find it slightly opened and light coming in from inside. 

🎵Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where dead man called out
For his love to flee
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree 🎵

The closer I got the louder it became.  The soothing males voice sung the little sad remedy.

🎵Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run
So we'd both be free
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree 🎵

Slowly I opened the door and peeked inside. There was a light above where the sink would be and faintly I could see an outline of someone sitting on top of the counter playing with something in their hands. 

🎵Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of hope
Side by side with me
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree 🎵

Walking slowly and quietly towards the figure.  There shouldn't be anybody here since it was after closing hours.

🎵Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run
So we'd both be free
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree 🎵

The voice that came through the lips we're kinda angelic and smooth. Its not human then. Without thinking I sat down in front of him and listened further than I would normally.

🎵Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run
So we'd both be free
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man
They say who murdered three
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree 🎵

This voice was so memorizing and unnatural.  My body screamed of danger but my thoughts and heart kept saying that it was safe to be near this stranger with an unnatural voice. 

🎵Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where dead man called out
For his love to flee
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree 🎵

And with the start to end this person stayed very calmly and finished playing with the thing in their hands.  Slowly the thing that was sitting on the counter looked over at me and smiled. "I'd knew that you would come, that's why I set everything up,"  the male voice seemed to pitch as if it glitched.  Maybe this was one of the new animatronics that grandfather was building. But why was it on and how did it already know that I was here and when I would be here. "W-who a-are y-you?" I felt so stupid as I stuttered on my words. 'It' just gave a small and light chuckle as it stood up from the counter and sat in front of me on the floor. 

Surprised, I scouted back a little and stared right into red and blue electronic eyes. So this is an animatronic and it was active when it ain't suppose to be. Something is wrong, very wrong. "There is no need to be afraid I was created to help you and help you solve this string of tragedy's. Your grandfather was very worried about you. He was going to introduce me to you but before he could he was killed," But wait ain't my grandfather in the other- oh no- it can't be, "that ain't your grandfather that's an imposter but I know a trick to make him say that he isn't your grandfather. Follow me," the animatronic stood up and reached its hand towards me and pulled me up. 

This animatronic was built to protect me. But how did grandfather know that something like this would happen. "Wait what did grandpa name you?" I said quietly before we even headed out of the kitchen door. I felt it sigh and shook it's head. "Then I will give you a name to call your own, " It looked at me,  tilting it's head, "I'll call you................ Ennard." 'Ennard' looked at me and nodded his approval. It would seemed that grandfather was killed before he could even name his creation. Ennard brought me back to the service room to only see blood slowly leak from the door frame. 

Before I could think Ennard picked me up and entered the door were I could see what was making all the blood. Four children corpses laid on the ground as I saw the purple shadow walk towards the light. It was the same man from before; mom, grandfather, and now my friends,  it would have seemed. Ennard shielded me from the sight, but it was already too late. The once little bit of innocence that I had still intact was now gone.

Everything went black after that it would have seemed.  Nothing but blackness was all I could see from then on out. I failed.  Failed finding my mothers soul. Failed to solve the murders. Failed to even save any of my friends that faithful night."

Opening my eyes once more I welcomed the familiar walls of the little cell that was called my room. Nothing but talking to myself and no one really to call a friend anymore.  My name is all that I remember now and how my new life came to be. Sighing I looked up at the small bared window that was the only light that I've ever had.

Well that's that for that chapter and frankly it took a while to think on how to end it. Well there you have it the full thing and hopefully I can finish other stories now and not get distracted cause I have so many ideas for some other stories.
