(Here mates. It's the best my brain could fathom and I can't leave anyone hanging anymore. Enjoy!)
Henry slumped forward on his desk, smiling sadly as he rubbed an old picture frame. It had been years since his daughter, Charlotte, had died after being brutally murdered behind the old diner he had ran alongside his old friend, William. It seemed that he had been infected with the same bad luck that haunted Will, as his wife had died of breast cancer shortly after his daughter's death. He had been forced to live alone and had spent 3 years in jail after being accused of murdering his own daughter along with several other children.
The phone rang, distracting the man from his thoughts. Leaning over, he picked up the phone off its receiver and held it up to his ear, only to be met with static.
"H-hello?" Henry whispered, unaware of the twisted beast of metal sneaking up behind him. "Hello, hello hello?"
Suddenly, the connection was broken. Henry went to place the phone back onto the receiver, only to see that the wire had been cut.
Ennard slipped out of the shadows, reaching forward to grab Henry by the neck, but paused for a second as Ballora forced her way into control. She stepped back into the dark, narrowing her eye.
Funtime Freddy began crackling angrily, alerting Henry to their presence.
"W-who's there?!" Henry hissed, breathing heavily as he squinted into the shadows of the room.
Funtime Foxy took control, rushing out at the man with arms outstretched.
Henry screamed, paralyzed with fear as the monstrosity swiftly approached him.
Ennard grabbed Henry by the neck, slamming his head into the desk over and over until the screams stopped. Dropping the freshly-dead corpse onto the table, they broke the window and crawled away into the night, Ballora nearly exposing them with her wails of grief.
