A Basic Summary

A story based on Elude by TheActualFoxy. We know about Mike's side of the story. But do we know Freddy's side of the story? Starting from before his murder, this story will explore Freddy's life as a human and as an animatronic. Credits to TheActualFoxy for giving me permission to write this.

Edited on 06/12/2018: Just some spelling errors I have missed out. A little bit of patching up.

Author's Note

First, Disclaimer: I do not own any of the cannon characters. They belong to Scott Cawthon. Frederick/Rick and the other oc members of the core four's human names and families belong to TheActualFoxy. Any other ocs belong to me.

Second, please note that this story might contain gore, as well as adult themes. Along with issues such as depression, abuse, bullying and suicide. Please proceed with caution. If you do not like or feel comfortable with any of that, please click out of this now.

I know I should be working on my other one, but I just can't resist this idea from taking form. It's been festering for almost a year now and I have finally decided that this opening is good enough.

Just to filter any misconceptions, since Elude only follows the first game's storyline, Elude: Freddy's Story will be doing the same. This means that any game after the release of FNAF 1 is going to be ignored. So please, no flames for not following cannon. There will be easter eggs, like the Bite of 83, Purple Guy's name etc, but that's it. This includes the books as well. So I beg you, don't say things like this isn't cannon or that's not what happened in the timeline. I will be ignoring any reviews containing them.

Now that that's out of the way, let's begin shall we?

A cheerful sun rosed out of her slumber to greet the Earth's residents on Christmas Eve. The clouds heartedly parted ways to allow her to bask in their presence. She shone heavenly onto the little houses dotted on snow covered landscapes. One house in particular was in a bright cheery mood. The house belonged to the Clearwaters, a family of four who resided near the heart of the suburb. Today, they would be going to the mother's parents' house for a visit before heading to town for some last minute shopping. The two children, a pair of 6 year-old twins by the names Frederick and Fredonia, eagerly ran down the stairs of their modest two-story home, dressed immaculately by their mother Felicia Clearwater neé Ross.

"Rick, Donia, be careful! You could have tripped" Felicia chastised at her children.

"But mum, it's Christmas tomorrow" Fredonia 'Donia' Clearwater pouted.

"Donia..." she narrowed her eyes.

"Mum..." Frederick 'Rick' Clearwater whined.

"She narrowed her eyes further.

"Sorry mum" they bowed their heads in shame.

"Good, now run along. Grab your hats, gloves and scarfs. Your father is waiting outside" Felicia grinned at them, gesturing at them. Their eyes lit up at her approval as they dashed to the hallway to get their winter accessories. She chuckled at their antics, it reminded her of all the time she and Flora had done the same thing as children. She walked gracefully to the door and opened it. She and her children walked to where her husband, Felix Clearwater, was waiting at their family car. It was gifted to him by Felicia's parents, who warned him to 'take care of their little girl'. She had pouted and mockingly glared at her father, who gave an innocent look in return.

"Everyone ready now?" Felix asked, amused.

"Yes we are. Now stop fidgeting Fredonia" she scolded her daughter.

"Get into the car kids, and don't forget your seatbelts!"

The twins grinned at each other before saluting and saying, "Yes dad"

Rick and Donia had been sitting in the car for the past two hours since they left home to get to grandmother and grandfather's house. Usually it would only take about an hour or so to get there. However, with the snow, it made the trek there much harder and slower.

"How much longer would it take to get there dad?" Rick asked.

"Not much longer son" Felix reassured him.

"How much though?" Donia sent a questioning glance towards her father.

"Approximately five to ten minutes" Felicia answered.

"That's long" Rick remarked.

"It is, is not Rick?" Donia agreed.

"Yeah"

"Well it won't be for long now if the two of you will quiet down and enjoy the scenery" Felicia said.

"But it looks boring" Donia replied.

"Well, it is better than nothing darling"

"Okay then"

They soon arrived at a quaint house decorated with bright and bold colours. Tinsels and Christmas bubbles hanging from the rooftop. Felicia walked up to the door and knocked. A middle-aged woman opened the oak door, her face lit up upon seeing her guests.

"Hello darlings" Jemma greeted her daughter and her son-in-law. "It's good to see you here again"

"It's great to be back Mum" Felicia hugged her mother fiercely. Felix too got a bear hug from the Rose family matriarch. He walked up to his father-in-law and shook his hand.

"No hug for me eh Felicia sweety?" her father, James, cheekily remarked.

"Nope" she saw her father deflated a little, before smiling and hugging him, "of course you will get one Father"

"Now where are my grandchildren?" Jemma pretended to look around.

"We're here Grandma!" they chorused in unison, waving their hands crazily in front of their grandparents, giggling.

"Oh there you are my sweetlings!" she hugged them, before turning around to face the entire family. "Now then, let's have some lunch shall we dearies?"

"Your food are always the best mum" Felix commented as he ate his plate of food.

"Why thank you Felix" Jemma smiled.

"Can we go and play now?" Rick asked, pulling out the puppy dog eyes on Jemma.

"Me too" Donia chipped in her two cents.

She sighed. Damn, those puppy eyes are too hard to resist. I wonder who taught him, she thought. "Okay, but make sure you clean your plate first" she sternly looked at them and laid her eyes on Rick's not so clean plate. He sheepishly looked at his plate.

"Sorry grandma" he picked up his fork and finished the leftovers. "Can I oh sorry, " he corrected when Donia looked at him intently, "Can we go now?"

"What do you think Felicia?" Jemma teased. "Do you think that these little rascals deserve some playtime?"

"Hmm," Felicia played along, "I'm not sure" she pretended to examine them with critical eyes. "Do you think you deserve it kids?" she asked them.

"Yes! Yes!" the two children bobbed their heads furiously.

"Just let them go Felicia" Felix chuckled.

"Okay then" the two children immediately hopped off their seats and raced each other to Jemma and James' grassy backyard.

"Ahh, the wonders of childhood" Jemma sighed as she watched them playing tag. "How long will you be staying here for?" she directed the question to Felix and Felicia.

"Just until about five o'clock" he checked his watch. "About three and a half hours from now. We'll be heading to town for some last minute Christmas shopping for the kids before heading home for some dinner" he glanced at his wife. "How long do you think you'll need to get all the shopping done?"

"Ten to twenty minutes should be fine" she answered. "I am just going to pick up some items then we can head home"

"Are you going to bring the kids with you? We could take care of them for you" James offered.

"No it's fine Dad. But thanks for the offer" she smiled gratefully. "It's the kids first time to town anyway. We'll come back again tomorrow to celebrate Christmas with you"

TO BE CONTINUED

That's chapter 1 for you guys. Hope you like it. Sorry if this does not sound very 1970's. I'm trying my best but I am not an expert.

P.S Anyone recognise a reference to Harry Potter?
