William awoke in a cold sweat as he turned to face his door. That was the 3rd dream that week about dying again.

He considered seeing a therapist to figure out why he was having these dreams, but he decided to not go because he needed to take care of the 5 kids first. That was the only way he could save his family.

He took out the notepad from the seat of his pants, and read the note at the end in big red bold letters: "Cassidy". That was his final victim. His greatest goal.

*****

Cassidy was a young girl of Asian and Caucasian descent. She was a hardworking student in her 2nd-grade class. Not like Susie where everything came easy. She worked for her good grades. She was the perfect candidate for the final killing, but she'd be harder to fool than Susie due to her creative nature. But Afton was ready for that. 

When the doors opened that afternoon for the final party of the week, Cassidy walked in with all the looks of someone that knew what they were doing. Her head was held high and her demeanor was nothing short of pride and courage. 

William had already donned the SpringBonnie suit and was greeting multiple children. Some near the stage, some near the arcade, and others just eating pizza, but Cassidy sat talking with some adults about the next school year. 

Afton inched closer to her and the adults she was talking to, as a bunch of children swamped him and asked him for money to play the arcade.

Freddy began to stand slowly as the day guard watched in horror. The animatronics had never fully activated without remote control. It then proceeded to walk around the room's table in circles, almost as though it was learning how to walk. 

Five times around, then it sat back in its place. Then Chica stood up and did the same thing. Down the line of mascots, besides the extra Fredbear costume in the corner. The day guard thought about calling Afton in to check them out, but then all of a sudden they stopped twitching around and went back to being still. 

He kept shaking as he tried to calm himself with his coffee.

*****

After William got away from the pileup of kids, he turned towards the table where Cassidy was sitting, but she had moved to the arcade machines. She was attempting to beat Susie's high score. He started making his way to the arcade machines. 

"You giving me extra tokens?" she said without even turning around when he arrived. 

Afton shouted a resounding "No!" which caused Cassidy to give him a swift kick in the foot. William grabbed her by the arm and dragged her away, motioning to the other adults that she was being taken for a "timeout", so they moved out of his way.

Once he made it into the Parts & Service room, he shut and locked the door before turning towards her with his mask removed. 

"Why the hell did you kick me?" Afton questioned as he favored his foot. 

Cassidy only commented, "You're not planning to just give me a timeout, are you?" 

William was surprised as she sat down calmly. "Little girl? You realize you're about to die and you're just chilling out on the cold floor?" He pulled out a knife. 

"Well..." she explained, "Considering that these extra mascots reek of a fresh corpse, you plan on stuffing me into one of them as well. Maybe...that one?" She motioned her small hands towards the extra Fredbear suit slumped over in the back corner. 

Afton stood entirely flabbergasted as she walked over to it, removed the head, and felt around inside. He edged towards her, grabbed her by the shoulders, and fit her in the suit. The springlocks in the old suit were disabled, so she was unscathed. 

Just her head was sticking out of the top as she challenged him, "No matter what happens to me, you're going to pay for what you've done. I know you will." 

Afton smirked. "Yeah kid. I covered up my tracks better than you'd ever know. The police aren't coming for anyone. Not even you." He put the head on top of her. He figured he'd let her chill out in there for a while, but she moved suddenly and accidentally cause the springlocks to activate. 

William watched in absolute horror as a squish was heard and the suit began jerked around erratically, blood spilling out of every opening in the joints. A light scream was heard when it activated, but it immediately stopped as soon as it started. She was entirely crushed by the mechanism. 

He backed up slowly towards the can of red paint that he left in the room and began pouring it all around the mascot to make it look like he had spilled it. Then he disengaged the springlocks and backed out of the room slowly with the can of paint.

*****

Wilson's night shift was nowhere near comfortable as he saw Chica make her way towards the kitchen for some unknown reason. The rest stayed in their places, twitching about like they had been for the past week, including the Fredbear mascot this time. 

What was Afton up to?

*****

Afton returned early in the morning while Wilson takes his 30-minute nap and retrieved Cassidy's body. 

After performing the ritual, he proceeded to again drink the magical liquid. This time nothing happened. And William's rage was unparalleled. 

"I spend an entire goddamn week waiting for this experiment and it doesn't work!" he shouted in rage as he started knocking down equipment. 

After about 5 minutes, he sat down against the wall, sobbing as he felt hopeless for his family's inevitable fate.
