Prologue
The Lost Afton
╚══════════╝

❝Wandering is a terrible sin.❞

THE AFTON FAMILY DIDN'T know how they were all back together in their old house. There was just a blinding light then they were all back together. Not only the Afton family were back, but also Henry and Charlie Emily returned to life as well in their home though.

William, Clara, and Elizabeth were in animatronics form. Michael and Evan were in semi human form, plus to the family, Ennard was also with them. However, they noticed one family member was lost... you. Nobody knew what happened to you or where were you, but they felt you would join them soon. In the meantime, William decided to work on special devices called Illusion Disc that helps to cover their inhuman appearances and make them blend in the society. It took him a few days to finish them and return back to be humans.

However, still no hope in you returning to them and this raised questions in your family's heads. Where are you? In the past back when your family was still alive, you went lost exactly a few days after Evan's death. This made your father to report your disappearance, but the police found nothing that leads to you.

Michael went to your room to investigate in hopes to find any clues of your whereabouts. He searched everywhere in your room and found nothing other than plushies of a little demon, an angel, and a wolf. He scratched the back of his head while letting out a frustrated sigh, "I can't find anything." He thought, still looking around your room. Suddenly, his eyes landed on a book poking out of your pillow. He pulled it and saw that it was your diary... Maybe he can find something in there.

He flipped through and discovered that you were secretly working in a place called Joey Drew Studios as volunteer worker, "I remember Y/N mentioning about working there one day." He thought while flipping through the pages, he read how the work conditions worsened and how workers were disappearing which concerned Michael. He found a specific page with a date he hated the most...

November 20th, 1983.

Dear Dairy:

Today's work wasn't that bad like everyday. Still I didn't tell my family about my work in that studio, but I think I may not tell them anytime soon. I helped Lacie in fixing the robots since I learned a little about them from dad, but they still don't work.

It's becoming problematic.

They're needed for the theme park and Mr. Drew is demanding it to get fixed quickly. Speaking of whom, Mr. Drew said that he has a special offer to me and he said it's only suitable for me. I wonder what is it. Still I'm still excited to see what he has in store for me! Maybe I will finally voice act Bendy! I will be so happy if so! I will meet him tomorrow after the shift ends, so I have time to prepare myself.

I can't contain my excitement any longer!

I have to go now since I need to finish my homework and stuff, I will make sure to write about this offer so I can remember it whenever I read through this book. Until next time...

Sincerely.
-Y/N Afton.

After Michael finished reading, he flipped the page, but he found nothing. This was the last page which means you didn't get to write tge next day. He closed the book and rushed to his father to tell him what he had discovered.

"Father! Where are you?" He called.

William poked his head out of the kitchen with a toast in his mouth. "I found a clue of where might Y/N be." He said while trying to catch his breath, holding your diary to him. William removed the bread and took the book, "What is this?" He asked while opening it.

"This is Y/N's diary, look what they've wrote in the last page."

Once Michael said that, the father went to the last page and read it. His grip on the book tightened as a look of frustration was evident on his face, "So this Drew guy must have done something to Y/N. We have to go look for them." He stated, tossing the book aside. Michael knew his father would react like this out of rage, "We don't know if they're still even alive or in this place, we need to think first." He said while trying to calm his father down.

"Think of Michael, we're all mysteriously brought back to life, so Y/N might be alive as well. Plus it won't harm to look there if that place still exists."

"That's a fair point."

William let out a sigh and crossed his arms, "Tomorrow night, you and I will go to the studio and look for your sibling." He ordered with a look of determination, taking Michael off guard. He shook his head to snap back to reality, "This is trespassing, we can't just get in there!" He exclaimed, trying to convince his father to rethink his decision. However, he received a sharp glare from William.

"My decision is final."

Mike knew he would never change his mind knowing fully well that you're William's favorite since you always told him that you want to be like him when you grow up. You also were the top genius student in school, making your father proud. This caused Elizabeth to be jealous of you because you get William's attention mostly. Thus, he can't just leave his favorite child behind like this.

Tomorrow night, both Michael and William will go look for you.
