Absolution (A Fnaf story, Book Two)

Chapter 1. He Came Back.

*Warning! There will be acts and mentions of suicide, and characters experiencing trauma.*

It was the 21st of April, 1990. The new Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria was a hit in Salt Lake City. It seems the news of the previous didn't escape Hurricane or St.George. No one here was aware of its dark history.

But someone was. His friend had moved the business to Salt Lake City. William had no idea how he did it that quickly, but he did. William couldn't lose track of this. He had moved with it too. He was now in Salt Lake City. His life had went completely down hill. A week ago he sent Michael out to do something for him. He had asked him to go back to Hurricane for something. He had never came back. William assumed the worse.

William was still mourning the loss of his last son. He was gone. They all were. He had lost all of them. Conner, Elizabeth, Micheal, and his wife, Isabelle. William couldn't live with himself anymore. He couldn't. He lost his family, and with the guilt of all the horrible things he had done, he couldn't. He couldn't allow himself to live any longer. He was going to kill himself.

William pulled up to the parking lot of the new Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria. The bricks of the outside were a deep scarlet, the window frames a contrasting white. Henry obviously cared about this one more than the others. The parking lot was large, and his car was the only one there. It was near midnight. No one liked being at Freddy's at this hour. William made sure he came at a time they didn't have a nightgaurd, or else he would be arrested.

He got out of his car and into the rain. It was pouring down hard. He was soaking wet, and he only stood there for a moment. He walked up to Freddy's, rock in hand. He walked up four steps to the front door. William looked through the windows. And on the stage, there he saw them. Freddy Fazbear, Chica the chicken, and Bonnie the bunny. All standing on stage, in pristine condition. William gripped the rock and smashed the window of the door. He reaches for the doorknob and unlocked it, then stepped in.

The tile floor was black and white in a diagonal pattern. The inside walls were a light grey, and they had tiles around the middle of them. More black and white tiles with a red boarder. The lights hung down, and the ceiling was higher than the last. William couldn't see where it ended. The tables had white table cloths with rainbow polka dots on them. Every table had six chairs, and six party hats, each one a different colour.

The stage had red sparkly curtains. They were covered in glitter, sequins, and white stars. The stage itself was a dark wood. The stage lights were off, but each one had a different coloured bulb in them. The wall behind the animatronics had white clouds and a sun which glowed during show time. The robots had more realistic fur on them, and were in prime condition.

William admired how much work Henry had put into this establishment. He took a single step, which emmited a squish noise. The sound echoed in the emptiness of Freddy's. William decided to take off his shoes and socks so he made less noise while walking. He threw them back outside. He started to walk further in. He stood in front of the stage. They weren't doing anything. He checked his watch, which surprisingly hadn't been ruined in the rain. It read 12:14 am. It was supposed to happen. The robots were supposed to wake up now. That's what the rumors said.

William felt a cold chill from behind him and he turned around. He saw the entrance to the bathroom hallway, but thats not what caught his eye. He saw eyes. Two white eyes in the darkness. They belonged to a black figure who was darker than the shadows itself. A white smile appeared on its face. It wasn't white as William had thought. No, it was a light. There the darkness did not penetrate. It's bowtie and top hat were the same.

It was Freddy, but it wasn't. Then, a voice spoke in William's head. "Follow me." William walked through the tables towards it. Once he was there, he stood in front of the shadow. William reached out to touch it. Surprisingly, it was solid. And as soon as he touched it, a horrible coldness spread through his body, starting from his hand. It was so cold it burned. William drew back quickly and saw his hand was a little blue. The feeling in his hand was momentarily gone.

When William looked back up, the shadow had moved. It's hand was placed upon a door to the left. The shadows where removed from the door so William could see it, and the shadow grew. William walked in the room. He knew immediately what this room was. "The safe room," he uttered, his voice echoing. William ran his arm on the wall to his left so he could find out how big the room was. He barely walked at all before he ran into a table. He squinted, and he could just make out what was on the table. A box, a photo, a lighter, and a lantern. William grabbed the lantern, and realized it was a really old one. He used the lighter to light it up.

He took his flipphone out of his pocket and put it on the table. He did the same with his watch. He saw what the photograph was. William's heart sank. It was Henry with his wife and two kids. They were standing in front of Fredbear's. William looked away. He noticed the old suit at the other end of the room. He walked up to it. He remembered all the horrible things he committed while wearing that. He hated it now. William turned around and saw the shadow was gone. But, that's not what he was concerned about.

He saw five little figures standing there. Five little kids. He recognized them immediately. "No!" He shouted," No! I-I'm sorry! Pl-please!" The blind platinum blonde girl walked forward towards him, still wearing her white dress with golden flowers on them. They looked exactly the same as they did back then. He knew her name, he knew all of their names. "N-no! P...please!" William sobbed. He dropped the lantern, but it seemed fine. He put his hands on his head. He could hear their voices. They were everywhere. Laughter, giggling, crying, screaming.

Elizabeth took a step closer. William took a step back. This continued until William tripped over the foot of his rabbit suit. He looked up at it as its head lolled to the side. He saw a crank next to it. "Do it. Climb inside. It will kill you. Isn't that what you wanted?" William didn't know which voice that was, but he listened to it. He grabbed the crank and started turning the suit into suit mode.

Once he was done, he climbed inside. He started to sob. His sobs shook his whole body, and tears ran down his face. Then, everything snapped. William's screams rang out in the emptiness for a moment, before his throat was crushed. His body fell to the ground. William then either died from blood loss, or from choking on his own blood. Take your pick.

Henry had a bad feeling as soon as he saw the purple car in the parking lot of his restaurant. It worsened when he saw the broken window, and the shoes and socks lying on the ground outside. Henry walked inside. Nothing on the inside looked amiss, besides the glass shards and wet footprints. They led to the middle of the room, then to the bathrooms. Henry followed them to the safe room. That's when he saw the suit lying in there. He knew immediately who it was. Henry closed and locked the door. He left the key to the door in the door knob. Then, he called someone to come and put a fake wall over it.

The building stayed closed for a few days while that happened. Once it was done, he paid the workers heavily so they wouldn't say a word. Then Henry called someone to fix the window. After a week, the building finally opened back up. Henry told everyone there was a minor gas leak. He lied. Again.
