Chapter One: The Call
Nathan Smith, or Nate, just got inside his apartment with his mail. He opened the bill to see how much money of rent was owed. $925. Not liking to trouble his little sister with grown-up things like this, Nate sighed as he sat down and Erica, his ten-year-old sister watched the phone ring.
The siblings sat and listened as the caller left a message. It was the Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, who needed Nate to do the night shift because of a firearms-related incident, saying they would be able to get him a cheque on Friday. 'Are you going to take it?' Erica mouthed. Nate nodded. "Is the uniform still the same?" he asked. The caller said yes and Nate agreed to be there and hung up.
"Who was that?" Erica asked. "Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. I worked there when you were little, remember?" Nate answered her. Erica thought for a minute. "Yeah."
"They have an opening for the night shift again and I took it," Nate explained. "It might not be much, might not be very convenient, but it's a paycheque," he sighed. "Can I come?" his little sister asked. Nate sighed. "This is why it's not convenient. Promise you'll be good?" Nate held out his pinky finger. "Promise."
Nate found his uniform and Erica packed an overnight bag, sleeping bag, and pillow. They headed to the pizzeria.
"It's been seven years since I worked at this place, a part of my life I much regret," Nate started. "I saw kids burst in tears, a bear start eating a face-" "Wait what?" Erica asked but Nate just continued. "I tried to move on and just forget...but YouTube Ad Rev isn't all that great," he finished. "Yeah," Erica said as Nate looked at the cameras on the computer screen.
"What do you do as a job here?" Erica asked. "I watch the cameras. You sleep," Nate put his sister's sleeping bag on the floor. "What if something happens?" the kid was concerned. "I'll handle it. Don't worry," he told her, showing her the way to the bathrooms and letting her get in her pajamas. "There's no reason for you to be scared," Nate said as Erica came out of the girl's bathroom in her pajamas and they went back in the office.
"Now go to sleep," Nate told his kid sister. "Easier said than done," Erica mumbled as she got in the sleeping bag.
Nate started falling asleep too, because the job is actually really boring during the night shift, and then the phone started ringing. He looked for it and couldn't find it because the desk was so messy. "Why would they keep a rotten cupcake up here? It's creepy and grotesque," he mumbled to himself, trying to keep quiet so Erica wouldn't wake up.
He cleaned off his hand by wiping it on a picture on the wall and watched the cameras. Nothing interesting happened until a camera stopped working momentarily. "Camera's gone dead. Now I'm wondering if it's all in my head-" 'Yes it's all in your head,' Nate whispered to himself before hearing an ominous voice.
He checked the other cameras and saw that Chica was headed for the kitchen, but when he tried viewing the camera for the kitchen it was blank. 'Where's she going? The screen's not showing but I could've sworn that camera was fixed,' Nate thought to himself.
Nate checked the camera and found Bonnie tied up in a closet. "Bonnie?" Nate spoke loudly, waking Erica. "Why's Bonnie there? Why's he tied up?" Erica asked. "What's that sound in my ear?" Nate asked as Chica showed up at the Prize Corner on camera.
"The music box stopped!" "Chica?" "Oh dear! Look out, he's coming for you!" "Good thing this door can be locked," Nate went over to the door. He pressed the red button, which closes the door. It didn't work. He shared a look with Erica. "What's going on?" Erica asked. "It's weird. Usually that only happens when-AHH!" The siblings were attacked by Springtrap, a green animatronic. They were both on the floor but Nate made Erica hide under the table.
Springtrap focused on Nate. "PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! I HAVEN'T EVEN CAUGHT UP ON STEVEN UNIVERSE YET!" "I'll save you," Freddy showed up wearing a gold cape and mask. "You gotta be kidding me..." Freddy attacked Springtrap but all it took was one hit and Freddy was done. "I changed my mind. RUN AWAY!" Nate took the advice from Freddy and got up and thought out loud. "There's nowhere to go and no place to hide. I've got no chance to fight or even pray!" Erica heard this and looked up from under the table. "He's got to be stopped!" "He's too destructive to live!" Chica and Freddy declared. Bonnie said something but his voice was muffled due to Springtrap having gagged him.
"What did he say?" Erica asked. "He said watch out for the fan!" "A little help would be great. My face is about to be filleted," Nate said. "Look! The Puppet is here to send him back to the crate!" Freddy noticed. "Watch out for your strings!" Nate said from the ground as The Puppet got killed by the fan. "Too late," Erica said.
Foxy popped out of the vents and took out Springtrap. "You really can't go one night without popping out of something, can you?" Nate remembered how Foxy would always do that. Foxy started talking and Chica translated. "He says he hid in there when Springtrap tried to stuff him in a Freddy Fazbear suit." "Oh that's horrible," Nate said as Erica untied Bonnie. "Hey," Freddy said.
"Speaking of horrible," Nate said. "What do we do about this?" "The Puppet was the only one who could defend us." "Now with him gone, there's no one to stop Springtrap." "Well I know a guy," Bonnie said. Everyone turned and looked at him. "Where does he live?" Nate asked.
