This is a story.

The story of family. A family consisting of a father, a mother, two sons and a daughter. Sounds like a normal family, right?

Wrong.

The story starts years ago. It starts at a small family restaurant by the name 'Fredbear's Family Diner'.

The diner was owned by two men: First, there was Henry. Unfortunately, there are no records of his last name. Then, there was William Afton, the father of the family mentioned.

Fredbear's was very popular among families during it's prime, despite its cardboard-tasting pizza. This was because of the main stars of the restaurant: the animatronic characters.

Fredbear and Golden Bonnie were their names. Fredbear was a golden bear with a purple hat and purple bowtie. Golden Bonnie was a gold rabbit. The two would sing and dance on stage, talk to the kids and were generally the main attraction, the thing the kids came for.

The animatronics, as well as being entertaining, were a brand new concept. You see, all the robotic parts inside them – the various crossbeams, wires and animatronic devices – could be compressed with springlocks. This then allowed them to be worn as suits. It was revolutionary, no other restaurant had done it before. Not even Chuck E. Cheese.

There was also one other animatronic, however, it wasn't a springlock suit. It was named the Marionette, but most called it the Puppet, as it was easier for the children to say.

However, things went horribly wrong. Henry often brought his family with him to work, consisting of his wife and their children, a daughter named Charlie.

One day, Charlie accidentally got locked outside of the restaurant. She stood in the pouring rain, crying. A group of children inside saw her, laughed and then ran off, leaving her there. Charlie, scared, went up to the window and stared through it, hoping an adult would notice her crying figure.

But nobody came.

Her focus was drawn away from the window and the sound of crunching gravel. She turned to see a purple car pull up to her. A man dressed in purple stepped out. Charlie swore she recognised the person. Wasn't he one of her dad's friends?

The man clad in purple walked up to the crying girl and knelt to her level. Before Charlie could react, the purple man pulled out a knife and slit the girl's throat.

The purple man stepped back into his car, wiping the knife on his shirt, before driving away.

A river of crimson spilled from Charlie's neck, forming into a small lake. Her last frown of fear and sadness was still etched on the lines of her pale face. Tear tracks were glistening on her cheeks.

Then, somebody came. Not a person, but an animatronic.

The Puppet left the restaurant and began to head towards the corpse. However, the rain caused the electrical systems to fry, and it collapsed to the ground next to the girl's body.
