"As anxiety pooled in her stomach, it was all she could do to keep from throwing up on his leg and giving away her position. Yet she knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that Freddy could sense where she was hiding. There was nowhere she could go in the restaurant where an animatronic wouldn't find her. She had no hope. She was going to die." 16 year old Cathryn has to be strong. For her friend Markus who's being relentlessly bullied at school, her cousin Chance who's too young to understand why his dad is in therapy and unable to take care of him, and mostly, for her poor, overworked mom who does all she can to keep their lives together. So when a job opportunity appears and offers her a chance to truly help take some of her mom's burdens off her shoulders...even if she hates the restaurant, can she really turn it down? *************************************** --- Updated once a week --- *************************************** (This story was inspired by the fnaf franchise. That means that there are a few characters owned by Scott Cawthon - such as the animatronics - but the plot and OCs not found in the franchise are mine and are not to be used without permission.
