It was a normal day at the daycare, Moon was getting everything set up for when the kids arrive. One of the workers from parts and service came by, and started to knock at the large wooden doors. The door opens, "what do you want now" said Moondrop as he sees the parts and service worker at the door. "Well someone's in a good mood today, I just came by to tell you, you will be having a coworker arriving later today". He stood there for a second, " I don't need any help, they will get in the way" he said with an annoyed look in his face. "Well to bad, with all the disappearing children lately they decided you needed the extra help since you can't figure out how this all happened." At this point he looked pissed at what they had said, he shut the door hard and went back to what he was previously doing. "RUDE!, if you like it or not your getting a coworker".

Moon's POV:
After setting everything up, I had 5 minutes left to spare. I attached the wire to my back and went up to the stage, looking at all the missing posters of all the little ones. It broke my heart knowing I could have had done something, but to keep the others safe I had to do it. The daycare background music started playing, I snapped out of it and went down greeting all of the children and parents. After getting all the kids settled I started to give a small introduction, "Welcome back little stars, ready for another day of fun activities". Of course all the children started to get all hyped up getting ready to start running around. "Alright, you can all go and play now remember to treat each other like you want to be treated" "Alright" all the kids said before scattering every where. I started to walk around making sure everyone was okay and having fun. A bit of time passed by one of the little ones came running up to me all cheerful, she had a red dress with black shoes on light brown hair going to her shoulders,"Hey Mr. Moon, can we start arts and crafts soon, I want to start drawing a card for my mom her birthday is today!", she said all excited. I smiled and got down to her level, "We can start it in a bit, don't worry", "Alright!", she said running back to her small group of friends. After making sure everyone was okay I went in the center of the daycare shaking the bell on my hat, everyone knew by now is that arts and crafts had started. Everyone took a seat and started to get supplies I had left in the center of the table for them to use. I took a small nap break until I felt someone tug on my pants, "Mr. Moon, look what I made!" it was the same little girl from before "That looks so good starlight, your mom is going to love it" she smiled and took a second piece of paper and hand it to me "Its for you a little thank you card for being there for me" I looked at the small thank you card she made me, it had a bunch of glitter and stickers all around it and a little drawing in the middle of me and her holding hands. My heart melted, "Thanks so much little star I will hang it up we're everyone can see it" the little girl smiled and went back to her seat. I got up and started to walk around making sure everyone was having a good time and not drinking the glitter glue for some reason, as I passed by a few tables I saw a little kid drawing a sun shape figure that looked similar to me yet the polar opposite. I got down to his level, "Hello little star, what are you drawing there?" I asked the little boy, "Oh, hi Mr. Moon I'm just drawing the new animatronic that is coming here later, I heard about him from my Mommy" he said still looking down trying to finish coloring his drawing. That's when I remembered about that coworker that one annoying parts and service worker came to tell me about. A few of the kids came and huddled around us, "Wait there is going to be someone else here now?" "No." "Are they nice I wonder if they like to play tag?" , a bunch of kids started to say questions making me have a head ache. "Nobody is coming to work here little stars it was all just a rumor, now go back to your seats and finish drawing so we can start passing out snacks". All of them got sad, but went back to drawing, I went ahead and and started to get the snack tray ready with Oreos and apple juice.

No one's pov:
  After everyone was settled in there sleeping bags, fast asleep after a few lullabies and books. Moon attached the wire to his back making sure nobody was awake, after a few minutes he saw a dark figure in the corner of the daycare. He carried one of the little kids and carried them to the corner where Vanny was standing at, waiting for him to come with a child. "Hello there Moony~ you got the kid you owe me", he was angry but responded back "Yes here, don't hurt him" she took the sleeping child in her "I know I will never go against my word~" she said with an evil grin, he knew she was lying but to protect the others he has to give her one of the kids every day to save the others. "I won't be here for the next few days, since I heard there will be someone here with you. Gotta keep a low profile for now try and get rid of him or keep him away from you so he won't figure this little deal of ares~"
He nodded his head and looked down knowing he will never see hid little star again, as she left moon returned back with the others making sure they were still asleep.

Moon's POV:
At the end of the day almost everyone left home, the kids parents came to pick up her kid to find out he was missing. She broke down crying and had to get escorted out, during the rest of the day I had been cleaning the daycare trying to get my mind off of what has happened over these past few weeks. Around 24 kids had gone missing, and the only one who knows what truly happened to all of them can't say anything. I started to feel tears falling down my cheek, I heard someone go through the ball pit. I took a minute to calm down, "Hello is anyone in here?" the voice said, I went to go check who has entered the daycare this late at night and saw......
