BECOMING FREDDY
Chapter 13- It's Me

Samantha felt exhausted. Her body felt heavy and lifeless. The last thing she remembered was going with the Freddy's employee into kid's cove, but she didn't recall actually getting there. Samantha remembered getting to the door of kid's cove, but that was it.

What happened after that? Samantha started getting upset. How long had she been gone? She was supposed to go home for lunch. Her mother was probably going to be angry with her for breaking her promise. She was probably going to be grounded, too.

Unless...her dad! Yeah! Samantha could go to her dad, explain what happened and then he could tell her mother! Her dad always had her back. Samantha went to get up, but found herself unable to move.

Frowning (internally), Samantha looked down at her feet. But they weren't her feet. They were golden bear feet. She then turned her attention to her hands, which were also furry bear paws. Why did they look like Golden Freddy's paws?

"Daddy!" Samantha shouted.

She was frightened to hear a different voice coming out of her. It definitely wasn't her voice; it sounded more like Fredbear's.

Samantha heard footsteps pounding toward her and experienced a mixture of confusion, intrigue and disappointment when it was not her father that showed up, but some animatronics.

"There you are!" Foxy said. "Guys, I found her!"

Foxy entered the spare parts room and was followed moments later by Chica, Bonnie, Freddy and the puppet. Chica and Bonnie knelt down next to Samantha.

"Are you okay?" Bonnie asked.

"I guess," Samantha said, attempting to shrug but her body refused to cooperate again.

"Who's your dad?" Chica questioned.

"His name's Scott Cawthon. He's a security manager here. I was helping my daddy today. I had my own security badge and everything."

Freddy stepped forward and held out something for Samantha to see.

"My badge!" she said happily when she saw what it was. "Thanks, Freddy."

"Actually, my name's Ryan," 'Freddy' said. "That's Courtney, Daniel, Andrew and Matthew."

"What's your name?" Foxy, Andrew, asked.

"I'm Samantha," she said. "What's going on? Why are my hands and feet like Fredbear's?"

Once again, and for what they hoped was the last time, the kids explained what had transpired with Purple Guy hours earlier. It took some getting used to, but Samantha seemed to come to terms with the fact that she was dead and stuffed in a Golden Freddy suit. The children then informed her of what their intentions were concerning Purple Guy.

"No!" Samantha said adamantly. "You guys can't hurt my daddy!"

"We're not gonna hurt your dad," Ryan tried to assure her.

"We just want to scare purple guy and lock him in the secret room Ryan knows about," Courtney added. "It's not fair he gets to go home to his mom and dad while we're stuck here so we just want to show him how much it stinks."

"Okay, I guess," Samantha agreed quietly. "But I wanna see my daddy and tell him I'm okay, kind of, first."

"How are you gonna do that?" Matthew asked.

Samantha was silent for a few moments.

"I...I don't know," she replied, sounding on the verge of tears. "Can you guys help me?"

Ryan and Courtney looked at each other. They both shrugged.

"We can try," Courtney offered.

A few weeks later, they had a plan in place. It was the best that they could come up with and hoped that it would be enough for both Samantha and her father. They'd help Samantha into the security office where her dad sometimes worked and then she would give him a little sign that she was okay. Plopped like a sack of potatoes in the corner, Samantha waited, ready to deliver her message.

It's Me.
