So, this the Five Nights at Freddy's story I've been working on, it takes place right after Fazbear Frights burns down in 2017.
Let me know what you all think =)

Many have heard the stories about what happened at Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria thirty years ago. How five to six kids were murdered by someone who worked at the establishment, the children's spirits haunting the place and possessing the animatronics to exact their revenge on the one who killed them…This caused the place to close down in 1987 after an incident involving one of the animatronics, it reopened its doors in the early 90's and eventually closed down again in 1993.
Yet, when Fazbear Frights arrived in 2017, it stayed for a week or two before going up in flames… it was odd how the place just fell apart in a short span of time. The remains of the building and the relics within that survived attracted a small few searching for the history and untold stories of the dark secrets that surrounded the place.
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
One Saturday morning, there was a small group of friends standing before the charred ruins of their childhood paradise, looking over the map to decide who would search the different sections of the realm and collect the remaining pieces of the past.
"So, Mike and I will take the center and main areas. Leaving Kaylee with the back rooms." One of them spoke, running his tanned fingers through his crimson streams. "Is that okay?"
Kaylee adjusted the volume of her iPod, letting the song she was listening to speak through her headphones. "I'm okay with it Seth,"
"Yeah," Mike added, going through the bag of tools at his hip, combing his fingers through silver locks adorned with blue streaks.
"Okay,"
With their plan set in motion, they broke apart to wander around the building. Kaylee walked to the back where the farthest rooms were kept, running her pale fingers over the walls that held only the ashes of forgotten memories… This place was a part of my childhood, sad it's gone now. She picked up the burnt picture of a child making music with Bonnie that laid in a pile of ash and fallen ceiling tiles. She slipped it into her satchel and continued to roam around until she found a door with a box of animatronic parts sitting before it, the Marionette sitting beside the box. After moving the box to the side, she gently picked up the Marionette. You survived the blaze, huh? She sat the puppet on top of the box before entering the room, and seeing the old arcade games along the wall.
As she walked over to the games, she took a coin out of her pocket and slipped it into one of the machines, to her surprise the game was still functioning. The screen flashed the title Give Gifts-Give Life before allowing for gameplay. In the game she moved the Marionette around to the four corners to where the sprites were sitting, giving them each a present before going around again to place the head of the four main animatronics on each of the sprites, before the screen blacked out. "I forgot how messed up these games were," She pondered aloud, stepping away from them before something caught her eye in the corner of the room, causing her to walk towards it. She removed the beams of wood and cloth that covered it to reveal two decaying ears of gold, is this…? Her curiosity got the better of her as she threw aside the remaining debris to reveal the main attraction sitting underneath.
…Spring-Trap…
Kaylee had never seen him before since she was busy with school, but her friends would tell her stories about him over coffee, since Mike worked at the establishment for the week it was still around. She breathed in his appearance, sending chills down her spine as she gently placed her hands on his shoulders, gazing into the animatronic's eyes… catching a glimpse of something within that made her blood run cold, until the golden shoulders began to move while a strangled noise emitted from inside.
She swiftly stepped back and pulled out her walkie-talkie, ~Seth, you and Mike need to see this~
~Where are you~
~In the back room with some arcade games, there is a box of animatronic parts sitting by the door~
~Okay~
As soon as the conversation ended, she was already before Spring-Trap when the rest of her team entered the realm.
Mike was the first one to notice what Kaylee had found, "You found Springs,"
"Still intact after the blaze…" Seth added, walking over with Mike by his side.
Kaylee breathed, rubbing her arm in an attempt to calm her beating heart. "Yeah… but there is something in him that is still kicking…"
She saw Mike remove some of his tools from his bag, eager to take Spring-Trap apart to see what was inside. When he kneeled before the animatronic to dismantle it, Seth had moved to steady the shoulders while Kaylee had moved behind it, and Mike began to remove the chest cover.
She brought her fingers around the rim of its head, feeling a warm pulse against her skin as she began to slowly remove the head…, but the blood curdling scream of agony made them freeze, exchanging glances with each other.
It was silently decided between them that they now had to get whoever was in the suit out without causing any further damage. As Mike removed pieces of the suit, the hand of the one trapped inside slipped through the arm piece, causing Kaylee to drop what she was doing to instinctively grab the hand and rub the blood soaked palm with her thumb. "We're here, you're gonna be okay." She breathed softly, trying to keep the person spring-trapped alive.

After several hours of dismantling and carefully lifting the body out of the animatronic due to rusted bolts, Kaylee was finally supporting and consoling the man with long violet hair clinging to her for dear life, covered in blood with tears cascading from his dull silver eyes. The others watched on as she cared for him, wiping away the crimson gel with her jacket as the horror left her eyes to be replaced with sorrow. She combed her fingers through his hair, allowing them to see the man better.
The one they saved was a bit older than them... his entire body was covered in wounds and mangled in a few places. His right arm was broken while the others wrist was sprained, and his left leg was broken as well, while the other was covered in scratches. It remained quiet as Kaylee and her friends tended to the man's injuries, wrapping up his broken limbs and making temporary splints from whatever they could find… before leaving with whatever was left from the fire and getting the poor soul to the hospital.
