-3rd person POV- Once the Afton family got back home, Kenny begins to act strangely. William noticed he became more aggressive than usual.

"Kenny, are you feeling okay?" William asks once they sit down to eat dinner.
"I'm fine," Kenny mumbles, twirling his fork around aimlessly in his spaghetti.

A new set of gauze bandages was wrapped around the boy's head, some parts a faint pink color. "Are you sure?" Terrence asks gently.

"I said I'm fine, you idiotic fool!" Kenny snaps, slamming his fork down on his plate. William's eldest son winces at this, avoiding eye contact.

"Kenneth!" William gasps, shocked at his younger son's behavior. Kenny blinks quickly, shaking his head. The boy's ocean blue eyes widen.

"I'm sorry..." Kenny whimpers, getting up from his chair and bolting to the hallway bathroom. Locking the door behind him, the child looks into the mirror in shock.

"Why did I say that?" He whispers. Reaching his hand up, he unwrapped the bandages from his head. A small patch of his brown hair was shaved off, a line of stitches hold the gash together along the right side of his head.

Touching it made him flinch. "I didn't mean to say that..." Tears flood his eyes. A sudden knock on the door makes him jump.

"You alright in there, son?" William asks softly. "I.." Kenneth's father trails off. "I know you didn't mean to say that to Terrence. Please let me in,"

Kenny opens the door and looks down in shame. He feels a hand go under his chin, forcing him to meet his dad in the eye. William Afton looks down at his boy with clear concern, eyeing the line of stitches on his head.

"I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to snap at Terrence like that."
"I know you didn't." William flashes a sad smile quickly. "However," William frowns.

"I think you should see this. You and Terrence weren't the only kids I have."
"Huh?"
"Just follow me."
William leads his youngest son down one of the hallways and near a locked door. Reaching into his pocket, William pulls out a silver key.

Unlocking the door, it's revealed that the room is a bedroom. Boxes full of toys meant for a little girl and drawings Kenny had never seen before took up most of the small space.

Kenny picks up a picture frame. A blonde haired girl around Kenny's age along with a younger William smiles at the camera. "We have a sister?" Kenny asks.

"Had. You and Terrence had a sister." William sighs.
"Oh," Kenny sets the photo down. "Where is she? And Mom? Where are they both?"

"My daughter... Emily...She.." William let's out a strangled breath. "She died by one of my projects... long before you were born."
"Then wouldn't Terrence have seen her?" Kenny questions. "No." William states, picking up a stray Barbie doll from the floor. "She died even before Terrence became a part of the family."

"But he's much older than me." Kenny pressures. "Surely he would remember her."
"He has no idea who she was. That's because I adopted him about five years after Emily's death. He's 17 right now, making him only 12 when I adopted him from an orphanage."

"Woah, woah, hold on. You adopted Terrence? What about me? And mom?"
William sighs, kneeling down to meet Kenny in the eye. "After Emily's death, my wife left me without my knowledge. To this day, I still don't know where she is. As for you,"

William leans in closer. "I found you on the porch, walking home from work one night. I don't know how you got there. I don't know who left you there. You looked so helpless, just an infant and only about a year old."

Shocked, Kenny only squeaks out a small: "H-huh..?" "I'm so sorry I never told you earlier. I just thought you'd not view me as a father if you found out." William takes a deep breath, holding back tears.

"Then," Kenny starts. "Why tell me now? Why show me all this," Kenny motions to the small room. "Why now?"
"Because I thought you were going to die. And...I wanted to tell you after all these years. I've already lost one child. I'm not going to lose another."
"Does Terrence know he's adopted?"
William nods. "Yes, he knows."

Much to William's surprise, Kenny hugs him. "I still love you." The child whispers. William slowly hugs him back. "I love you, too. I love you both."

Later that night, William wakes up to his bedroom door opening. Kenny sneaks in and climbs into his bed. "Sweetie," William yawns. "Is something the matter?"

"I think I saw Emily." The child whimpers. "I saw her body...all crushed up and bloody. She's trapped, Papa. She's trapped in this creepy warehouse under our house."

William feels his heart stop. "Hey now, it was just a nightmare." The older male wraps his arms around his son protectively. "Emily isn't here. It's okay."

William knew he was lying. He knew Emily was still down there. Along with five other children. Five kids that have already died in William's drunken rage.

The underground location was hiding the bodies until William could think of a better place. That's when it hit him. There would be a new pizzeria opening downtown; Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria.

A better place to hide his victims. A place no police officer would find them. The robot mascots. William feels a smile tug on his lips. He holds his son closer, acting like he was worried.

Yes, this was all going smoothly. Now to just distract Kenny by talking through his stuffed bear....
