Chapter:12

-The Next Day-

"Annoying machines!" William muttered to himself as he got ready in a black and white suit with a purple tie. Grabbing his black fedora hat, he headed out from the house. Getting in his car he saw Michael staring at him from his room's window. He quietly reversed and drove straight ahead towards his factory where he was building a new set of animatronics. He was minding his own business as suddenly his phone began to ring. Pushing a button on his Bluetooth device in one of his ears, he accepted the call.

"Hello?"

"William.... It's me Henry!"

"Yes Henry?"

"They found her body!"

"Really?... How?"

"Someone put her infront of the stairs of the police station!"

"Oh... So any idea who did it?"

"Not yet..."

"Oh okay, well Henry I would call you later, I have to go!" replied quickly William and ended the call. No one could point her murder at him, he was clever enough not to leave behind any clues. Sighing he had finally arrived at his factory.

Getting out from his car, he silently made his way to the production plant. Getting in the department he saw his workers going here and there doing their work. He casually walked in the department till he reached the robot building center. Looking through a glass window he saw his new animatronics stood up against various machines. Circus Baby was nearly complete and so was Funtime Foxy, Funtime Freddy's tank was to be adjusted and a hand puppet was to be attached to his right hand. Then his gaze fell on another set of animatronics. A clown animatronic with a green and yellow birthday party hat and a white round face, the second one resembled Funtime Foxy but it was orange and white with a purple bow tie and white pupiled black eyes; They were Ennard and Lolbit. Last but not the least, the one crafted by his own two hands was another animatronic. She resembled a dancing Ballerina supporting blue violet and white colours, her eyes were closed though. Near her feet were five small ballerina type animatronics almost resembling as her children, they were called Minireenas.

They were almost complete. He turned to leave but then stopped as a certain Golden brown haired girl bounded towards him with a smile.

"Daddy!" she called out and hugged his waist. "Elizabeth? What are you doing here?" he asked confused, ruffling her long hair and hugging back. "Mom finally allowed me to meet you!" she exclaimed looking up at him, breaking the hug. "Oh... Okay..." he said smiling at her and then turning to look at his animatronics. "Daddy?" spoke Elizabeth as she too looked at the animatronics standing in the building room. "Are those new robots?.... Can I play with them?" she asked nearing the window, her face pushing against the glass. "They have to get tested first... Don't go near them yet!" he cautioned her as he turned, walking away from them. "Can I have a peek at them? Please?" requested Elizabeth as she caught up to him and stopping him in his tracks. ���They.... Aren't safe yet! Wait abit!" spoke William looking down at her with concerned dark purple eyes. "Fine!" muttered Elizabeth and stepped aside to let him go. "Good girl!" smiled William as he patted her head and trotted out from the department thinking she would follow him aswell.

She watched him go out, this was her chance to get closer to them. Looking here and there, she turned and darted towards the room avoiding being seen. As the coast got clear she quietly made her way to the building room's door. Opening the door, she led herself in. Gently closing it behind her, not daring to turn on the lights she headed straight for them. It was bright enough for her to examine each one clearly. She started from Lolbit and then the rest. Each one was more fascinating and wonderful than the other. She wondered over all of them especially Circus Baby who was set on a separate stage, her head drooped low, eyes closed and shoulders slacked down. She neared her and watched her in awe. How wonderful creations her father made. She wished that she could too make such wonderful robots like him.

She turned to leave fearing that William would come back to find her, the robot rose her head, blue eyes opened up and shoulders straightened. Elizabeth quickly spun around and saw Circus Baby staring at her, her feet right now bound to the ground. Elizabeth got startled as the robot titled her head side to side trying to recognize her. The robot then froze in place for a few seconds, whirring machine like sounds started to come out of her. Her waist supported an orange triangle with a claw retracted in it. The triangle opened and the claw brought forth an ice-cream cone. Elizabeth was quite stunned by this and inched towards her slowly and steadily.

"Y-you make ice-cream?" she nervously spoke getting nearer to her. Before she could reach for the ice cream, a set of two powerful arms quickly pulled her back and turned her. Looking up stunned, she saw him staring at her with fierce purple eyes filled with anger and worry. "I... um..." she began to speak but he turned to walk back silently towards the door, her hand tightly gripped by him. He pulled her along with him without talking or saying anything, she was never this afraid of him nor did she try to break her hand free from his iron like grip.

They walked in silence, Elizabeth could gauge from his eyes that he was angry at her but at the same time they were filled with fear aswell.

Clara was sitting in his office, waiting for them to come. She then got up to survey his office. Looking around she saw the green office board full with their pictures and the of the Diners they used to go to. Finally, her gaze fell upon a picture of a certain black-haired girl. Giving a closer look, it was Henry's daughter Charlotte. At the corner of the picture was written something and before she could unpin it from the board, the office door opened and entered William and Charlotte. Both were quite serious, especially William who silently made his way over to her.

"So.... You decided to come back?" he spoke non enthusiastically and smirked side-ways. "No, not really! I just thought it was unfair of me to keep Elizabeth to myself and not letting her meet her father!" spoke Clara unamused with a straight emotionless face. "Well you can go, I'll drop her at your mom's house!" spoke William without looking in her direction, setting the papers on his desk instead. "Can I trust you? Mr. Afton?" spoke Clara with bitterness in her tone. "Especially with kids?" she remarked smirking, earning a scowl in return. "Yes you can... Aside from that, can I show you something? I made it especially for you!" spoke William suddenly cheerfully and smiled at Clara. "Yes what?" she spoke rather harshly and eyeing him suspiciously at his sudden change in his attitude, arms crossed. "I didn't give you any anniversary gifts nor birthday gifts... So I wanted to make it up to you!" spoke William quite truthfully and smiled at her once again. "What are you upto, Afton?" spoke Clara getting even more suspicious of him. "Well... I'm sorry, okay? I took Chris's... Death, too much!" he admitted, looking at her apologetically but his eyes spoke of a different emotion.... Insanity. "Well William... I forgive you... but I can't live with you anymore... You don't seem the same anymore!" spoke Clara abit softly, managing a fake smile.

"You found someone else?"

"William..."

"Clara, just answer me.."

"William I can explain..."

"Just tell me what I asked!"

"Yes, I have!"

"Okay.." he replied, his already broken world crashed even more. He had lost her aswell but only if... It had to work! He must try it on her first! So giving her an understanding smile, William tried hard not to scream and kill her on the spot. "But will you see what I had made for you?" He asked, insanity slowly creeping up on him. "Yeah sure, that's the least I can do for you!" she smiled her eyes showing warmth but doubt at the same time. "Okay then, Elie you stay here okay, I'll be right back!" he spoke cheerily and led Clara out of the office.

He took her to the department where the animatronics stood deactivated. Turning up the lights he took her to see one specific animatronic modeled in her remembrance. She was standing there on her stage, both of her arms above her head, fingers entwined in each other. Her purple lidded eyes were close and her head slightly titled sideways. One of her legs was stretched out sideways to the right and the other was straight, firmly bounded on the stage. The animatronic stood on her tip toes like a ballerina.

"So, you like her?" spoke William eyeing Clara as she wondered over the animatronic. "Yes! She's really pretty!" she spoke in awe, touching her steel skin. "I'm glad you like it, I was afraid you wouldn't like it otherwise I would have resorted to extreme measures!" spoke William as he went towards the huge department window and pulled down the curtains. "What do you mean by that?" spoke Clara nervously, her eyes beginning to convey fear by the sudden change in the attitude of William. "Nevermind... Do you know what her name?" spoke William as he neared her, smiling. "N-no?" she spoke rather nervously as he stood beside her. "Well she's named Ballora!" he spoke smiling side-ways, his eyes narrowed. "Oh... Such a nice name!" said Clara uneasily, eyeing him fearfully. "Want to see her dance?" he spoke abruptly as grinning at her. "Uh... Sure!" replied Clara unsure of what she was to expect. He brought a chair for and set it in front of the stage. He gestured her to sit down and then went to get the controls. He came back and activated Ballora. Music began to play and she started to dance on the stage along with her Minireenas.

Clara being distracted and fully immersed didn't see William creep up on her. Taking a knife out from his inner coat pocket, he stabbed her in the back causing her to fall down on the floor. He stopped the music and the animatronic reverted back to her original position. "Doesn't she dance beautifully!" spoke William grinning, his eyes full of twistedness. "Y-you monster!" she spoke turning herself upwards, working through the pain, gasping. "Hah... Thankyou my dear, treacherous, cheating wife!" spoke William laying harsh emphasis on the last two words. "I cheated?! William you were getting to unstable to live with!" she exclaimed wide eyed, blood rapidly seeping through her wound, staining her yellow floral dress. "I, unstable? How ridiculous!" he sneered and bent down and sat near her. "You won't get away with this!" she spoke gritting her teeth in anger and pain, her gasps becoming shorter with increased gaps between each one. "Don't worry, Ballora will be a perfect fit for you! And you'll dance forever and ever!" spoke William now totally unhinged and grotesquely cheerfully, his eyes depicting his inner feelings. He ended her right there and then with a stab in the throat, twisting it in it so she could not breathe.

Now on to finish and get rid of Henry for once and for all.
