As the faint sound of loud children and music started to flood into my ears I woke up from my seeming long nap.

"How did you sleep? Have any bad dreams?"

I looked over at William who was spinning in his chair.

"I slept fine. I didn't have any dreams at all so that's good." I shrugged.

He stopped spinning and rested his hand on his face.

"You must be starving its almost lunchtime love."

I was dumbfounded.
Did I really sleep that long?

"How many hours was I out for?" I asked.

"About 5 hours and I've been so bored."

"I can see that."

The room then fell extremely quiet aside from the main area in the pizzeria.

"(y/n) listen I don't know how much longer you should stay in the past for."

I looked up at the serious William.

"Bad things are going to happen to me eventually I can feel it."

Well, you're on a roll William cause some seriously deep shit is going to happen to you in the future.
William ran his fingers through his hair.

"But your so good to Mike and you've been the best thing for him. I know you can't bring him with you but Mike will hate me even more if I let you go back."

"Then what are you going to do with me?" I asked.

"I don't fucking know love."
"You still have a whole future ahead of you. For heaven's sake, I ruined mine!"

"My own creations killed my daughter, I left my wife killed her, and killed multiple kids! My life is over when someone finds out!"

I just listened as William rambled.

"I'm not saying that I regret my actions which I really don't but you have a life to live and your living part of it with me, I child murderer."

"Hey, William I think you might want to calm down a bit."

"How the hell am I supposed to calm down!" He yelled.

His cold blue eyes glowed bright purple.
William gripped his hand on a knife on his desk.
Seriously does this man keep a knife everywhere with him?

His head turned to look me in the eyes.

"Oh fuck." I whispered.

William rushed over to me.
He completely towered over me as I sat on the couch.
He tipped my chin up with the knife, making me look up at him.

"Don't tell me to calm down I am perfectly calm." He angrily said.

"Okay, okay I won't anymore."

He smiled.
"Great now could you go ask Henry for some Advil my arm is absolutely killing me."

"Oh yeah I forgot about your arm, Yeah I'll go get you some."

When I left his office I took a deep breath.
I hate being kind to William especially when he gets into his purple eyes mode where he is totally crazy.

"(y/n) you can leave, run to the pit."

I shook my head.
I remember that dream where I went to the pit and I ended up getting stabbed. No thank you.

I got to Henry's office and knocked on his door.

"You can come in." The faint voice of Henry said.

I opened the door and saw Henry fiddling with some wires.

"Hey, Henry William wants some Advil."

Henry looked into his desk drawers.
"Ah, there it is."

"here you go (y/n)" Henry smiled.

I took the small container filled with Advil in it.

"Thanks, Henry, how are you doing?"

He shrugged.

"I'm trying to do my best in the situation I'm in. More lawsuits are getting sent and I don't know how much longer this place will be open for."

I bit my lip.
I feel bad but this is William's fault not mine.

"Oh I am so sorry Hen-"

"(Y/N)! I AM GETTING IMPATIENT!" William yelled from across the hall.

"Shit I'll talk to you later about it Henry."

I zoomed out of his office back to William's.
When I reached his office I swung open the door.

"I'm here and I got you Advil."

William turned his head in a crooked way.

"Took you long enough"

I handed him the contents.
He took three out and swallowed them with no water.

Such a mad lad.

"I can't believe you didn't take water with that."

William didn't say a word and just sat back in his chair.
And he just sat there starring at me.
It started to creep me out.

He just stared blankly at me with a smile on his face.

"Can you stop that?" I asked.

He continued to stare.

"Okay that's it I'm going to go to the bathroom."

I thought he would stop me but he didn't.
I left his office and went to the bathroom.

On the way there I tried not to make any eye contact with anyone.
This was the 80s and people are nice and want to talk unlike when it was 2020 and nobody wanted to have any social interaction.
I liked that but at the same time, Covid sucked.

I reached the bathroom and just washed my hands.
My eyes closed for a second and the image of Clara's dead body appeared.

I opened them quickly.
The fuck?

I peered up to the mirror and I looked like absolute shit.
My hair was messy, my eyes looked like I had just woken up 'which was the truth', and all in all, I looked kinda dead inside.

I still had a hair tie on my wrist so I decided to put my hair up in a messy bun (if you have short hair then you just tried your best to fix it to look somewhat presentable.)

I splashed some water on my face to make it look more alive.
Then I looked down at what I was wearing.
It wasn't that bad but it certainly could be better.

I had on a pair of bell-bottom jeans with a long maroon-colored shirt.
I grabbed the shirt and tied it in a knot at a crop-top level.

"Okay now I look a lot better"

I left the bathroom satisfied with how I looked.
As I was making my way through the main area I noticed how there weren't as many people as there were when I first got here.

Henry wasn't joking when he said he might have to shut down.
I glanced up to the animatronics and saw all three of them staring at me.

'That's creepy. Do they know who I am?'

My walking sped up into a speed walk.
I made it into the long hallway and back to William's office with no spirits talking this time.

I opened the door and William was doing some sort of paperwork on his desk.

He didn't look up when I entered his office though.

"I see you're done with your ranting."

"Yes I am, that Advil seemed to help me."

He then finally looked up and me.
"You look nice especially your hair."

I smiled.
"Thanks although it's nothing special, my hair was way too messy so I somewhat fixed it."

I plopped onto the couch.

"Sooooo what kind of paperwork are you doing?" I asked trying to start a conversation.

"I'm just making blueprints for when Henry and I open a new Freddy's."

"I see your prepared."

William nodded his head.
"This Freddy's is getting a bad reputation."

I rolled my eyes.
"I wonder who's fault that would be?"

"Oh haha (y/n) but I have a feeling Henry would want to open a new Freddy's but one that more safe and secure to cover up this restaurant."

"I mean you're not wrong. When I spoke to Henry for a minute he talked about how he wants to open a better Freddy's."

William smiled.
"Well, then he'll agree when he sees these new blueprints of the place."

I looked over his desk and saw the blueprints.
It was of different rooms.
There was the main stage, a few different party rooms, and a prize corner.

"There are going to be more rooms but those are the ones I have so far down."

"Cool, cool."
"So are you just wanting to make another establishment to kill more kids?" I asked.

"You are absolutely right love." He said happily.

"wow, how did I know?" I scoffed.

I sat back down on the couch and my stomach growled loudly.

"Sounds like someone's hungry?" William laughed.

"Well I am, it's almost 1 pm and I haven't eaten anything all day."

William got up from his chair.

"Then let's go get some food."

(It's been a while since my last chapter. I've had so many finials and work due this week so I've been quite busy but I tried my best to get at least one chapter out and I did. I will try my best to get at least 2 more out this weekend hopefully. Anyways peace out✌️)
