Five Nights In Hell

Prologue

The new Freddy Fazbear's has been in business for about a week. It has become quite the popular location for kids and their parents to visit. There is fun music, colorful lights and lots of brand new animatronics built to entertain the children who visited the pizzeria.

        As the last customer exits the building for the night, Michael Afton makes his way across the party room floor to lock the door. Tonight is the night. The night he and Henry have been planning since the very beginning of this restaurant. The souls will be set free. The monster will be put down.

        Michael heads to his office for the final time. He takes a deep breath and pulls up his monitor. To the side of him, he can hear clanging in the vent. He looks over to see an animatronic face staring out at him. The mangled face of Scrap Baby, who was once the lead mascot for Circus Baby's Pizza, the animatronic which contained the soul of his younger sister, Elizabeth.

        Michael watched as she climbed out of the vent down into his office. He didn't even bother trying to stop her because there was no point. Their plan was about to come to its finale, right here, right now.

        Scrap Baby takes another step toward him. "You played right into our hands."

        Michael takes a deep breath as the animatronic steps closer.

        "Did you really think this job just fell out of the sky for you?" she asks, stepping even closer. "No. This was a gift- for us. You gathered them all together in one place- just like he asked you to."

        Michael bites his lip and scoots back slightly. He takes in the sight of what his little sister has become.

        "All of those little souls- in one place." Scrap Baby continues. "A gift. Now we can do what we were created to do- and be complete."

        Michael bites his lip. 'I am so sorry, Elizabeth.' he thinks to himself.

        "I will make you proud daddy!" Scrap Baby exclaims. "Watch, listen and be full-"

        She is cut off as the sound of Henry's voice penetrated the air.

        "Connection terminated." he states.

        Michael takes a deep sigh of relief.

        "I'm sorry to interrupt you Elizabeth, if you even still remember that name." Henry says. "But I'm afraid you've been misinformed. You are not here to receive a gift, nor have you been called here by the individual you assume. Although you have indeed been called."

        Michael stands up and backs away.

        "You have all been called here. Into a labyrinth of sounds and smells, misdirection and misfortune." Henry explains.

        The smell of gasoline protrudes through the air as their plan begins to take form.

        "A labyrinth with no exit, a maze with no prize. You don't even realize that you are trapped." Henry continues. "Your lust for blood has driven you in endless circles, chasing the cries of children in some unseen chamber, always seeming so near, yet somehow out of reach."

        As Henry talks, smoke begins to billow in the air.

        "But you will never find them, none of you will." Henry states. "This is where your story ends. And to you, my brave volunteer, who somehow found the job listing not intended for you."

        Michael smiles slightly. He discovered the job listing when he went to visit Henry one day after the scooping happened.

        "Although there was a way out planned for you, I have a feeling that's not what you want. I have a feeling that you are right where you want to be. I am remaining as well, I am nearby." Henry says.

        Michael tears up. It is true. When Henry and Michael were concocting this plan, they incorporated a means of escape for them but Michael decided pretty early on in the planning stage that he would not be leaving. He has suffered a lot because of his father, to the point of almost dying and becoming a walking, talking corpse. He doesn't want to live his life like this anymore.

        "This place will not be remembered, and the memory of everything that started this can finally begin to fade away." Henry continues. "As the agony of every tragedy should. And to you monsters trapped in the corridors: Be still and give up your spirits, they don't belong to you."

        The animatronics stop to listen to what he has to say.

        "For most of you, I believe there is peace and perhaps more waiting for you after the smoke clears." Henry says. "Although, for one of you, the darkest pit of Hell has opened to swallow you whole, so don't keep the devil waiting, old friend."

        William Afton, now known as Scraptrap, sneers. "I always come back..."

        "My daughter, if you can hear me, I knew you would return as well. It's in your nature to protect the innocent." Henry states, the sound of sadness in his voice.

        Charlie, who now inhabits Lefty, looks up. "Daddy..." she says in a small voice.

        "I'm sorry that on that day, the day you were shut out and left to die, no one was there to lift you into their arms the way you lifted others into yours. And then, what became of you." Henry states sadly.

        Lefty looks down, sadly.

        "I should have known you wouldn't be content to disappear, not my daughter. I couldn't save you then, so let me save you now." Henry says. "It's time to rest. For you, and for those you have carried in your arms. This ends for all of us."

        Michael is crying. 'Is this really gonna work?' he thinks. 'Is it really over?'

        "End communication." Henry concludes.

        At these final words, Henry's voice fades into nothingness. As the flames engulf the building, Scrap Baby and Scraptrap cling to each other, as does Lefty, Michael and Henry.

        When the flames finally die and the dust settles, all that remains is the charred remains of the animatronics and the burned bodies of Michael and Henry. A place once full of life and children's laughter was now a pile of burnt rubble. It was over.

        William gasps and opens his eyes. "Am I alive?" he states aloud to himself.

        He gets to his feet and looks around. There are strange creatures and buildings all around him. He frowns. "What the hell?"
