William Afton didn't consider himself to be a bad man. Even now, dragging the fifth child's body to the back, he didn't think that anyone could consider him to be a terrible person. It wasn't as if he killed every child he came across, and his own children loved him. Really, in the end, he was doing this for his family. It was hard to provide for three children, especially with he pay he was getting.
Cleaning the yellow bear suit, he knew that he wouldn't be caught. He was too thorough. The local cops wouldn't read between the lines, and they certainly wouldn't expect the local entrepreneur. His business was just starting up, but there wasn't much need in the area for animatronics. This pizzeria, for instance, had argued that theirs worked perfectly well, and that the cost for upgrading was one they couldn't afford. Sighing, Afton set the head of the bear back on the shelf, exactly where it had been when he took it. Even if someone had seen anything, all they would know was that the yellow bear had been used, but nearly anyone could have used it.
Carefully, Afton locked up the room. It was almost time for the night shift to show up, and he didn't want to be there when they did. Now that it was dark, the once-whimsical pizzeria seemed to understand what had happened within its welcoming doors. Long shadows and empty tables echoed its disapproval, but Afton only smiled. These beloved walls would tell no one of his sins.
Waving to the animatronics on the stage, Afton left. In a perfect world, he would have disposed of the bodies first, but he had children to take care of, and he couldn't afford getting caught by the security guard. Sitting in his car with a sense of satisfaction, Afton looked up at the giant, enticing sign on the building. Soon, this place would be little more than a monument to times gone by, and the parent company would be desperate for something new, something that didn't have tragedy attached to it. Afton Robotics would be there for them when that happened.
A/N
Most chapters will be longer than this, but the ones that take place between games, such as this one, will likely be short. Entries will be chronological to the events of the series, not to the order in which the games came out. Besides that, there are a few points that I've changed to make a better story. If there's something blatantly wrong, it isn't necessarily that that is something I believe about the lore, but simply the way I think it should have been.
Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy the chapters to come!
