Chapter 2: Lured and murdered

Author's note: enjoy the chapter. The chapter title should be self-explanatory of what will happen.

A week after the introduction of the new animatronic, it was another day at Freddy Fazbear's pizzeria. The animatronics were singing, Foxy and his first mate were performing in pirate's cove. Daniel was enjoying the show.

But since he had been there a lot of times, he knew most of the songs by heart. But he noticed, that, Foxy's first mate was more… robot-like rather than having the fluid movements and human like actions of the other animatronics had. He thought that this was just because Wolfy is brand new.

What he didn't know, is that, since the other four animatronics are possessed by spirits of children, this made their robotic prisons have the human-like movement that they did when they could roam freely at night.

Meanwhile, in another part of town, a shady man, wearing purple was plotting something.

"HOW? HOW? How could Freddy's be successful again? Has everybody forgotten the murders? I guess I'm going to have to murder another child to prove to not mess with me. I swore I would get my revenge when they fired me. And that's what I'm going to do."

As the man drove to Fazbear's, the show at the restaurant came to an end. The animatronics had stopped singing and Foxy and his first mate had stopped performing. The children were eating pizza. Just as a purple car drove into the driveway.

The purple man took out his old security guard badge and security guard clothes, and a purple mask that had LED lights on the eyes. He then took out the golden Freddy suit that he had stolen from the previous restaurant (The restaurant that is Fnaf 2), as well as a sharp and bloody knife. He went into the restaurant with the suit in a backpack.

He turns directly and goes through the East hall, without the animatronics spotting him. He goes into the office, being careful not to make any noise.

"Hmm… Foxy and Wolfy not performing… Check…Freddy, Bonnie and Chica not perform-"

The purple man took out his knife and, with the blunt of the blade, struck it on the day guard's head, knocking him out cold. He then proceeded to go back out of the East hall and towards the dining area.

Unfortunately, the spirits of the children do not recognise him, due to not having seen his face before they died. He goes to the backstage and starts to search around, quickly. He can hear something looking at him closely. He knows that this is the cursed marionette, a puppet with no strings from the previous restaurant.

"You should not have come here today. I will kill you for what you have done to me and the others!"

The purple man turns around, takes one look at the marionette, and starts searching more frantically. He finally finds what he is looking for. A small box with a wound-up crank. Praying that it still works, and already feeling strings wrapping around himself and his body starting to go limp, he winds up the box.

When he lets go, a soft, sweet melody emerges. The melody has no effect on the man whatsoever, but the marionette lets go his hold on him. It's white pinpricks it has for eyes start to dim, leaving nothing but empty blackness. Then, the marionette fell with a SLAM onto the floor. Into a hypnotic sleep. (The marionette had come to the backstage and was there by accident)

The purple man then winds the music box all the way, then drags the marionette into a secluded corner of the backstage. He puts on the purple uniform, mask and the badge. Then he puts on the golden Freddy suit. Then he proceeds to wait until before closing to choose his victim.

After having spent a few hours at Freddy's, Daniel was a bit tired. He wanted to go home, but at the same time, he wanted to stay here and have fun with his friends. His parents were chatting happily with other parents. Until spotted some sort of… Golden animatronic peeking out from the backstage.

Daniel walked up to him to see if he was a backstage or replacement performer. He looked like he hadn't been used for decades, his golden yellow fur being covered in grime and some of it had decayed. The mouth also had a hard time in keeping up, like it didn't have servos or circuits.

When Daniel approached it, the animatronic snapped his head toward his direction. He could have sworn that, inside the mouth, something purple smiled at him.

"Hi, who are you?"

" Hello, I-I-I-I am G-g-g-golden Freddy, (This is the purple man speaking, not an animatronic or spirit) who m-m-might you b-b-be?"

"I am Daniel. Are you Freddy's brother? Can you sing me a song that I haven't already heard? Where have you been all the time here? "

"H-h-hold on with t-t-the questions, Daniel. I am Freddy's o-o-older brother, I p-p-p-performed with a f-f-f-friend of mine b-b-before Freddy was created. I can sing you a song that you h-h-h-haven't already heard b-b-before if you want me too. I have been here, in the b-b-backstage all the t-t-time, locked in a basement u-u-under the table.

Golden Freddy's voice didn't seem like the static-y glitchy voice the other animatronics had. His voice did have the stutters that they had, but his voice didn't have any static. But Daniel didn't notice, he was too busy jumping in the air in excitement.

The animatronics outside had noticed Golden Freddy and Daniel now. They had recognised the voice and the suit that had killed them. They were trying with all their might to tell Daniel to run for his life. But they couldn't move due to they're programming. All they could do was watch as the scene unfolds.

"C-c-c-come in here Daniel, I'll show y-y-you the new song."

Daniel followed Golden Freddy into the backstage, inside, he heard a music box playing on the background. The tune was one a mother would play to child before going to bed, like a bedtime tune. He didn't hear Golden Freddy locking the door behind him.

"Is the music box the song? What's the song called."

"Patience young o-o-one, the song is called the m-m-marionette's song."

At mention of something called the "marionette" Daniel heard that Golden Freddy's voice get noticeably lower, like he was mad at the "marionette."

Most people outside had gone out. But Daniel's parents were still talking to the other parents. They didn't notice that Daniel was missing.

"Well, Golden Freddy? What is the song? Is it the marionette's song?

"Ah, yes to song is: (I don't own the lyrics of the music box song.)

Can you hear it, the music box,

It counts down slowly.

It echoes my music box,

It plays songs sweetly.

Let's all dance to the sweet melody,

Till you drop…down…DEAD.

(I couldn't find a better melody and didn't have enough time to make one up.)

Golden Freddy takes a bloodstained knife out of his back. Daniel started backing away slowly. Eventually he reached the door. He tried shaking on the doorknob, but it was locked.

Golden Freddy pulls takes off his mask. He reveals himself to Daniel, lifting up the knife. Daniel understands what is going to happen, and he starts screaming for his mummy.

"Don't bother kid, nobody's gonna hear you. Just come here so I can kill you, hehehe."

"No, please don't. What did I ever do to you?"

"Nothing, I just need some revenge on this place."

Daniel tried to run past the purple man, but the purple man caught him and stabbed him in the stomach. Daniel dropped to the floor and started to cry. The purple man then proceeded to repeatedly stab him in his arms and legs, making Daniel fall to the floor face first. There was a huge amount of blood pooling around. Finally, the purple man leaps on Daniels head, cracking his skull. Daniel finds just enough energy to say one more word.

"Please."

"No can do kid. Hihihi"

With that, the purple man stabbed Daniel in the head, ending his life.

"Hahaha, that was fun. Better get out before anyone notices."

The purple man takes off the Golden Freddy suit and his old night guard uniform, stuffs them in his backpack and leaves. Just as the music box comes to an end.

The marionette slowly wakes up from his hypnotic sleep. He shakes himself awake and looks around. He immediately spots Daniel's dead form on the ground, in a pool of blood.

"So, the murderer has struck again. How I wish I could have stopped him. Hmmm… I'm going to have to bind him to one of the animatronics. And I know just which one, I'll need the others to help though. I need to keep his soul here in the meantime. Luckily it's almost closing time."

Just as the marionette finished speaking, there was a shout in the of the door, signalling that the restaurant was closing. The marionette quickly takes Daniel's body and drags him everywhere, to prolong the police investigations so that they don't remove the body before he can bind the soul. He drags him everywhere, careful not to get himself wet with blood.

Outside the backstage, Daniel's mother was searching for him, having finished her chat with the other parents. She is unfortunately unable to find him. Finally, one of Daniel's friends tells her that he had seen Daniel walking into the backstage with a "Golden lookalike of Freddy."

When Daniel's mother looked inside the backstage, she nearly had a heart attack, blood, so much blood. The room was covered in it. And, in the very middle of the room, wounds all over his body and skull split open, was Daniel. She screamed as loud as she could. Everyone hears her and comes, demanding what's the problem. Wordlessly, she points and her son's mangled corpse.

The police are called immediately, 2 investigators are called and put on the case. As Daniel's mother is drinking some coffee, the investigators tell her what they found.

"It appears that your son was lured in the backstage by a man in a golden version of the Freddy Fazbear mascot, according to the eyewitnesses, then he was then repeatedly stabbed, some huge weight was throw on his head, which caused it to crack. We suspect that the murderer jumped on him, then he was stabbed in the head. The final stab ended his life. After about 10 minutes, he was then dragged everywhere. Why the murderer would drag a lifeless body everywhere beats me."

"Have you found anything that might indicate who the murderer was?"

"No ma'am, the closest thing we have found to finger prints are bear-shaped footprints, no doubt from the killer's Golden Freddy suit. What puzzles me, is that anyone would have seen a Golden Freddy mascot leave the restaurant, so the murderer would have had to remove it before exiting the backstage. This means that there should have been some bloodstained shoe prints leading to the outside, or at least some shoe prints in the sea of blood, but there are none of those whatsoever."

"He could have dragged the body over his shoe prints to cover them up."

"Then the body would have to be to the edge of the doorway for that scenario, but the body was in the middle of the room."

"I don't know, I just want to find my son's killer."

"Well, ma'am, we're trying our best. This isn't the first time a murder has occurred in Freddy's, but they didn't have the technology we have now. Try to get home and have some rest. We'll take care of this."

After the talk, Daniel's body was placed into a bodybag and taken outside the backstage. The animatronics were looking at him with a sad expression. Knowing this was another victim, a new member of the family.

Author's note: I originally intended that the marionette uses Daniel's fingers to write in blood, "Murderer of 87," and that one of the animatronics points to the backstage when Daniel's mother asks him/her where he is. I might consider changing it to that later on, depending on the reviews. Also, after chapter 3, the next chapters will be how Daniel deals with being an animatronic, like having his mother visit during the night shift, murdering the guards, playing games etc. It will eventually culminate into the FNAF 3 night 5 ending minigame. But this is when the 30 years that are before "Fazbear's fright" start. After that comes the sequel, which will take place in FNAF 3 Hope you enjoyed, read and review.
