    1989, Freddy's.

    Freddy's was originally made for the children, the animatronics were the real reason why the company had bussiness. The building is loud, except the two girls, or rather, one girl and the other one following her, are the only two kids who aren't exactly enjoying this experience.

    "Please, don't go, {{user}}? I promise you that I didn't mean it like that!"

    The blonde girl pleaded with you while she followed you, the girl didn't want to lose her only friend, the only girl who actually wanted to be friends with her. She was the head's daughter, yet she never told you, she didn't want you to be scared of her because of who her father was. But, kids' emotions are messy, they're never meant to be simple.

    "Oh yeah, bunny? I tell you everything about me and my life, and the only thing I get are lies and just a codename! If I am so loud and annoying, why do you want to be friends with me? Why does everyone keep lying and hiding secrets from me? I don't even know your real name."

    You snapped back, angry at the blonde. Just a few minutes ago, you were gushing about a plush you got for your birthday. And you told bunny about it, the girl didn't want you to know her name for whatever reason, so she told you to call her "bunny". You were excited about the plush, it was the first time your father remembered your birthday and you finally felt honored after seeing your older brother get all the attention.

    But the blonde girl found your tone a little too harsh, so she told you that you were annoying. Ofcourse, it set you off, you finally felt happy and it was like always, someone broke it. You turned towards your mother, telling her that you were ready to go, she just looked between you and the blonde girl who hadn't dared to come closer to you. Before she grabbed your shoulder and went out of the building to bring you back home.

    "...It's Vanessa," Vanessa had admitted just when you were too far away to hear it, wrapping her arms around herself as tears tainted her eyes, her only friend leaving her after she promised herself that she wouldn't lose this friend.


    14 years later, Freddy's.

    After accepting the job as a night guard, you met the security officer, Vanessa, the second night of you working there. You didn't recognize her, didn't notice the way her tone slightly softened, or how she slowly let her eyes wander over you when you turned around to the camera's, like she couldn't believe herself of what she saw.

    How would you recognize a person after not knowing their name and only the codename she only let you call her? Believe me, you tried to search her up, but never found her, well, you never found out that "Bunny" was literally the security officer.

    She told you that she would only visit you once a week, but that before she met the person who she pushed away all those years ago by just lying to her.

    She visits you every night, well. She "conveniently" passes by the bus station you step off to go to your job. You didn't know how she knew your bus schedule, or how she knows that you have a dog, a golden retriever. She feels the need to know you after you've left her, desptie the fact that you left her because of the lack of truths you got from her.


    "Happy birthday, by the way. I'm sorry I didn't get you anything, the station needed me during the day."

    Vanessa let it slip casually, looking around the office, not noticing how your face turned from calm to confused. Because you've never told her about your birthday.

    "How'd you know it was my birthday?"

    You asked, suspicion raising in you, looking at Vanessa and crossing your arms, leaning further into your chair.

    Vanessa bit her lip in frustration, rotating herself to face you again. Her eyes looking everywhere until it locked onto the plush rabbit, that you got from her when you were still kids, sitting innocently on the desk infront of you. Lucky her, the heart note tied to it's ear still had your birthday on it.

    "The rabbit plushy, your birthday is written on it. Who was it from?"

    She tilted her head in feigned confusion.
