The Dead Shall Rest (Phantom Freddy X Reader)

Chapter 15: The man behind the slaughter

" - Hello, [Y/n]! How was the night?

- Rough but worthy. I finally had some information about the mystery of this attraction, but I had to fight against a zombie.

- For real, though?

- Yeah, I swear!

- If you say so... You look pretty tired. I promise this night will be the last one I'll tell you a story.

- Thank you..."

You lay down in bed, listening to your uncle's voice.

"Don't worry, tomorrow I'll allow you to ask me anything you want to know. For now, we have something to end. Let's finish this, shall we?"

You nod, looking at him.

"I am ready, uncle."

After the first Freddy Fazbear's Pizza closed down, another one opened less than a year later. The company had less budget, but the place was still nice. The pizzeria had a show stage like the previous building. Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie the Bunny and Chica the Chicken would play music and entertain kids during the day, Freddy as the lead singer, Bonnie as the guitarist  and Chica as the backup singer that would sometimes hand out cupcakes to children between two songs. Even if they looked less shiny than their former counterparts, they were still greatly appreciated by the public, which was profitable for the company.

Mangle was replaced with Foxy the Pirate. He had his own little stage but thereof was constantly closed, a wooden sign saying "OUT OF ORDER" placed in front of the Pirate's Cove. No one really knew what was wrong with this animatronic, but it stayed that way until the pizzeria closed its doors. The dinning area was larger than the previous one, resulting in more customers coming into the diner. Both west and east halls led to the office where the dayguard and the nightguard would stay to watch over what was happening in the building. There was also a small supply closet located in the west area of the pizzeria, but it didn't have much purpose.

A maintenance area had been built close to the show stage and the Pirate's Cove in order to monitor the animatronics during the day. It is believed that there was also a naked endoskeleton in that room, but that detail was devoid of interest. The most curious part of the place was the kitchen because it had a broken camera feed, so the guards were only able to hear what was going on in there. However, there was a room that wasn't either in the animatronics' digital map or having cameras.

The safe room.

This place was used back when Fredbear's Family Diner existed. Its purpose was to hide the workers from the public so they could slip on theit costume at ease. This was also where they had to go if a springlock failure had to occur. But what was the point of that area in such a place where springlock suits were banned for a long time? Michael's father knew it, the man behind the slaughter knew it. He kept the Spring Bonnie springlock suit and used it to lure kids in that same safe room to kill them. He would then stuff them into the animatronics. The children's souls were bound to the robots they got stuffed in.

One day, the murderer came back to destroy them, thinking he would get rid of his victims. But he was terribly wrong. Once he tore apart all the machines, the souls of the missing children chased him around his own property. He found refuge in the safe room where his suit lay. He believed he would be safe by wearing it. After slipping it on, he looked at them with contempt before the springlocks loosened.

This is the day he died... at least, this is what he thought. It seemed like his last victim wouldn't let him rest. They attached their soul to their murderer, making him live on earth for eternity, rotting in his rabbit suit. His name will follow him everywhere he goes.

William Afton.

You gasp.

" - Uncle, I know where he is!

- We'll talk about this tomorrow.

- But uncle! I exactly know where he is!

- I believe you, [Y/n], but we'll talk about this tomorrow. For now, you need to rest. Good night."
