Chapter Four: Follow Me Tommy felt adrenaline coursing through his veins as he scrambled around the desk and put all his energy into sprinting as fast as he could. Tommy could hear the rabbit laughing maniacally as Tommy turned the corner and saw that Sam was already talking with Tommy’s parents. Tommy dashed up behind him as Sam finished telling Tommy’s parents about their horrifying experience. “This isn’t one of your dumb little pranks, right?” Tommy’s mom said. “NO!” Tommy and Sam said simultaneously. “Alright, I’ll go talk to somebody, see if anybody is missing their child or something.” Tommy was relieved to hear that his mom was going to do something. “In the meantime, stay with Jessica and Jake.” “What, but…” Tommy whined. “No but’s, you are claiming there is a murderer here so I don’t want you by yourself.” Tommy couldn’t argue with that. “Yes, mom…” Tommy sighed as he and Sam saw Jessica and Jake standing over by Pirates Cove. Tommy noticed that almost everyone was in the arcade, playing games and buying toys with their tickets. Suddenly, Tommy saw The Yellow Rabbit creep past an old arcade game holding the hand of a young child. The Yellow Rabbit held a balloon in his other hand. “Sam look, he’s leading kids astray with that dumb balloon scam.” Tommy pointed out the rabbit to Sam. “We have to stop him!” Sam said. “We can’t, he’ll just kill us if we tried to fight him, we are like half his size. And in everyone else’s eyes he’s just rewarded kids for finding him.” Tommy knew he was making a good point and so did Sam. “Let’s just try not to get in trouble for now.” Tommy stated as he headed down the hall to Pirates Cove with Sam close behind him. Last time they were here they had overheard William Afton and Henry Emily arguing. Tommy wondered what those two were talking about now. “Tommy, Sam, come over here.” Tommy heard Jake call from around the corner. Tommy picked up his pace and turned the corner. Nobody was here except for Jessica and Jake. Jake was just barely lifting up the curtain and peeking at what lay behind. “What’s up?” Tommy said. Sam headed over and stood behind Jake, peeking behind the curtain as well. “Tommy, look at Foxy.” Sam said in awe as he walked away from the curtain along with Jake allowing Tommy to take his turn. Tommy peeled the curtain away and fixed his gaze on the dark black stage. Foxy was completely beat up, his legs were bare and revealed his endo skeleton, a large gash lay across his stomach giving a perfect look at his inner workings, and his hand was not fluffy and soft anymore, it was silver and sharp, matching his hook hand beautifully. “That’s Foxy, if you didn’t know.” A little girl suddenly said from directly behind Tommy. He stumbled backwards and bumped his head on the wall. Tommy looked to his right and saw a little girl with blonde hair and a strawberry ice cream in her hand. “Where did you come from?” Tommy questioned. Tommy noticed that Jake was on the phone with somebody and Jessica was listening in. Sam stood right behind Tommy, almost like he was hiding. “My dad owns this place, I know how to get around. Me and my brother used to explore all the secrets in here back when it wasn’t open to the public and it was just a prototype. I don’t have anyone to explore this place with anymore, but I still know my way around.” The girl spouted out words incredibly fast. “My name is Tommy, what’s yours?” Tommy asked. “My name is Elizabeth Afton.” Elizabeth said promptly. “Why don’t you explore with your brother anymore?” Tommy asked. “Because he died. Springlock failure is what happened. My dad blames it on his friend Henry because Henry built the animatronic that did it.” Tommy was surprised at how much Elizabeth was telling him about her personal life. “Alright boys, we gotta go. Mom just called and said that four moms have reported one of their kids missing.” Jessica stated to Tommy. Tommy was shocked, what was happening? Just then the lights flickered off and screams flooded down the halls of the building. Tommy couldn’t see a thing, but he sure could feel. A sharp knife cut through his arm painfully and a cold robotic hand grabbed him and pulled him into the air. “I said, follow me.” It was the voice of The Yellow Rabbit. Tommy felt the room grow colder around him and soon, he felt himself be thrown to the floor brutally and he heard a door close and lock.
