Chapter 7: Memories are a Curse

*Im going to say sorry in advance if this chapter is too much for you*


"Guys?" Freddy said to his friends after the last show. "I have to tell you guys something…"

"What is it Freddy?" Bonnie asked, ears perking up with curiosity.

"I had a memory…" Freddy said, his voice low, as if to show remorse or sadness.

"What? Ye say you remember something?" Foxy said, his tail swishing with excitement.

"Yes… Though, its fuzzy, I remember a woman, telling me to stop picking on my brother…" Freddy said.

"I had a memory too… but.." Chica started, tilting her beak down. "I don't remember mine.. its like it got blocked back out when I remembered it."

"Thats because you didn't get it in the way he wanted.." Freddy thought to himself. "She must have got the memory from seeing something from her past life… but why did he block it block it back out? Maybe she figured out something she wasn't supposed to know…"

"Anyway, I have to discuss something with you guys…" Freddy said, his ears falling, which by now, made him look completely depressed.

"You don't seem too happy to tell it to us." Bonnie said, noticing Freddy's obvious display of grief.

"I'm not, but it's really important" Freddy snapped, "I found out how we can get our memories back, one by one…"

Everyone looked at each other, looks of both happiness from the fact they might regain their old memories, and confusion as to why that would make Freddy upset. "Why would that make ye sad? I figured that make ye happy!"

"Its not that that makes me upset, its how we get them that does…" Freddy said, "In order to get them back, we have to…. we have to… murder a human…" Freddy said, his eyes now losing all of their color.

At those words, firstly everyone immediatly asked "What is a human?"

"Freddy… its not... " Chica said.

"Freddy, please dont tell me…" Bonnie's ears fell.

"Its not the… little lads? Be it?" Foxy's tail stopped swishing.

"Yes… its the softies…" Freddy said, throwing everyone into a state of denial. They looked around the empty room, glad that there was no one around.

"We have to do it a certain way though, we can't go around killing children during the day." Freddy said "There's a night guard that comes here from 12:00 to 6:00. We can use that to our advantage…" Bonnie's fuel tank started to heat up.

"Wait! You're not seriously thinking about KILLING them, are you?" Chica said, tears starting to fall from her eyes.

"Look Chica, this isn't easy for me to say, but it's them or it's me, without those memories.." Freddy recoiled, "We're mindless puppets…."

This sent everyone into a bad mood, but the all reluctantly agreed.

"Alright guys, I have a plan on how to get them." Freddy said, making everyone growl in protest, but the thought of being able to regain what the had lost was too great to ignore.


A man walked into the pizzeria, his blonde hair falling out from under his security guard hat. He walked down the west hall to get to the office. Bonnie and Freddy saw him walk down the hall, but decided it best to wait until two, so the guard at least stood a chance. It seemed unfair to get him as soon as he started.

"Alright Bonnie, you move first try and get him tonight, I haven't gotten sleep in a week." Freddy said, preparing to go into sleep mode. This was the fifth Night Guard that they tried to catch this year, Bonnie was getting tired of Freddy slacking off, but he began his trek down to the office.

"Just gotta get in there, grab him, and get him to the parts and services room" Bonnie thought to himself.

The animatronics all agreed on how they would "get rid of the guard". They wouldn't so much as hurt him physically until they got him to the suit in the backroom. They would, however, mentally break him, scare him until he passed out or had a heart attack. Then they would scoop him off to the Parts and services room.

Bonnie started down the east hall, knowing the best way to scare him would be to get into the office and yell into his face. Every time the camera would click to his location, he would freeze, as seeing him run down the hallway would immediately make him shut the door.

Bonnie made it to the side of the door, so he could poke his head in and scare him. Once he made it there though, he heard an odd sound, almost as if…

"Damnit… he's asleep!" Bonnie said, looking into the room to confirm it. There on the desk was the nightwatchman, his head down and drool running down his mouth. There was a large bottle of alcohol on the desk, though Bonnie didn't know what it was at the time.

"Sorry about this…" Bonnie said, grabbing the man by the shirt. He started to drag the man down the hall, his legs dragging along the ground.

Bonnie expected him to wake up from this, then he would just yell at him to scare him into passing out. Oddly enough, the man didn't stir from his sleep. The bunny snapped his fingers in front of his face. "Damnit! Wake up!" He said, dropping him to the ground.

The man fell to the floor, a loud thump from his head hitting the floor sounded. The man still didn't stir. "You're kidding me, this guy is the heaviest sleeper I've ever met." Bonnie said, kicking the man in the arm.

"Damnit! Wake up! Hello?! Wake up! Come on, you're sleeping on the job! Don't you want to survive the night?" Bonnie yelled at the man, but he only rolled over, muttering in his deep sleep.

Finally Bonnie gave up, "Hope you like dying in your sleep, you idiot." He said to the sleeping man. he grabbed him by the leg and dragged him down the hall, his head hitting the corner as he walked to the back room.

"Here." Bonnie said flatly, dropping the man's leg.

"Wow, that was fast…" Freddy said, as he rubbed his eyes from his nap, "I barely got any sleep."

"Well, this guy did, I mean, he's still asleep." Bonnie said, crossing his arms, "This guy just fell asleep, so I dragged him down here…"

"So… this is the first one we caught." Chica said flatly,

"This be all we be needin to get back our memories" Foxy sighed,

"We got what we need, now we need to do is use it." Bonnie continued,

"And get our first memories." Freddy finished, reaching for the empty animatronic suit.


The stuffing was worse than they had expected, his blood dripping all over them. Every bone that snapped made them cringe. His eyes and teeth popped out the front of the mask, making Chica convulse.

The finished after about ten minutes, although the process was simple, they had performance anxiety. They knew what they were doing was wrong, but they were left with no choice.

"Wow, I thought you would never get it done! Well done you four!" a voice said, making them all jump.

"What was that?!" Bonnie said, searching the room for the source.

"Its him, the one who's going to give us back our memories." Freddy said, blood still dripping from his hands and face.

Everyone was worried, for some reason, they couldn't help but feel that the supernatural being was going to trick them, but they had no other choice. They had already did so much, there was no turning back.

"Alright, like I said, i'll give you a memory, now, which one wants it?" the voice said, laughing to himself.

"But, you said that we would-" Freddy said.

"-all get memories? Im not that generous, just pick someone already!" It yelled at them, making them flinch.

"Well… this isn't exactly how I thought It would play out…" Freddy said. He looked at the others, sighing. "I already have one, so I'll pass."

"Yar, I think that Bonnie should get et! The lad deserves it!" Foxy said, Chica nodding in agreement.

Bonnie wasn't sure what to say, the think they tried so hard this year to get it, was just so easily handed over to him. Bonnie nodded, "Alright, we decided, Its me! Give the memories to me!" Bonnie demanded.

Suddenly, Bonnie started jerking, his head at first, then his entire body. The others looked on at him, worried looks spreading on their faces.

Bonnie suddenly stopped, falling limp on the floor, propped up by the table. The others looked at each other, Chica slowly walking over to him. "Bonnie?" She said, the others seeing her eyes go wide.

Bonnie's eyes had went completely black, which is why Chica's eyes had widened. "Quick! Get home! Fast! I'm taking Charlie with me!" Bonnie yelled, grabbing Chica by the torso, running out the room with her.

"Bonnie!" Freddy yelled at him as he ran past him and Foxy, who had already started running after Chica.

"Chica!" Foxy yelled at them, Bonnie easily outrunning them. Bonnie had reached the front room, looking for the door. Foxy and Freddy running after him, yet still far behind him.

"Bonnie! Whats wrong with you?" Chica yelled from under his arms. He ignored her, his eyes still completely black. He ran at the door with his full speed, jumping at the last moment to burst through the glass.

"Chica!" Foxy yelled out the door, watching Bonnie run down the street, Chica flailing under his arm, "He took her…, He just up and left.." Foxy said, tears falling from his eyes.

"hmm… Charlie…" Freddy mentioned to Foxy, sitting next to him, rubbing the fur on his back. "He said he was going home, and he was taking Charlie with him…"

"Th-The lass.. her name before she became a robot… it was…" Foxy said, struggling to finish his sentence.

"Charlie... " Freddy finished… "Their going home…. We better find out where, if humans see him running down the street, they will certainly call the police!" Freddy and Foxy hopped up.


"Can you at least tell me where we're going?" Chica asked Bonnie.

"HOME, Charlie, we're going home! I'm so excited!" Bonnie told her, his voice both tired and exhausted.

"I already told you, my name isn't Charlie! You know that Bonnie!" Chica said agitatedly.

Bonnie continued to run down the street, taking the easiest path, which was straight from the pizzeria, he was lucky there was no one on the street.

Finally he got to a large apartment complex. He ran up to the front door, dashing through the revolving glass doors. Chica seemed amazed at the large building, filled with so many floors she couldn't even comprehend. "We live here?" She asked, still being ignored.

Lucky for Bonnie, the doorman was asleep in his chair, which is probably more lucky for him than for them. Its hard to see a giant purple rabbit with a chicken under his arm and not call yourself crazy afterwards.

Bonnie walked over to the elevator, growling when he realised that it was out of service. "Guess I'll take the stairs…" he grumbled. He dashed for the stairwell.

"12th floor… we had to live on the 12th floor." Bonnie said, "Room 140, 6th door on the left, going to be hard to explain… us…" He said, looking at himself and Chica.

"Explain to who?" Chica asked, surprised when Bonnie actually answered her.

"Our parents, Charlie." Bonnie said to her, making her smile.

"You can put me down now, I'll follow you…" Chica said, and though Bonnie wasn't keen on it, he reluctantly agreed

"Good, my shoulders are killing me!" Bonnie said, continuing up the stairs, Chica running right behind him, she wasn't sure if Bonnie was sure, but the thought of meeting her parents was too great to just call it quits there.


"Your sure you saw him head in there? Not the one over or anything? Freddy asked Foxy, The large building looming ominously over them.

"Aye, that I be certain of, cap'n!" Foxy replied, dashing up to the building, the two running through the revolving doors.

"Alright, lets figure out what floor he went too…" Freddy stated.

"No need, we can follow this!" Foxy said, pointing at the bottom stair, then up them. Bloodied footsteps, the same shape as Chica's, were seen going up the stairs.

"Lucky us she stepped into his blood…" Freddy said, his ears lowering.

"Aye, that it be, lets go!" Foxy said, Freddy nodding.

Freddy and Foxy headed up the 12 floors, somehow it seemed familiar to them, but they couldn't tell for sure why. REgardless, they followed the footsteps down the hall, when they saw Bonnie and Chica sitting on the floor across from a door, Bonnie was hiding his face in his hands.

"I can't believe it… I cant… I cant…" He was saying, Chica stroking his back with her wing.

"Hey! What gives Bonnie? You just run off like that, with Chica, just to cry on the ground of this random building? Bonnie I-" Freddy complained, but stopped when Chica shook her head, then pointed at the door, specifically at the window it had on it.

"Just look through there…" She said, going back to Bonnie.

Freddy and Foxy walked over to the door, peering through the door window. There on the floor was Ben's-Bonnie's parents. Playing with their new son, all the pictures of Ben and Charlie were taken from the walls. The family had moved on, removing all traces that Ben and Charlie ever even existed.


Author's Note-

Hello! How was this chapter? Let me know, please, this one almost hurt to write. I knew this was coming, and I dreaded it. And it had to happen to Bonnie, he was sort of the main character. You know its funny, I started this story with my favorite being Freddy, and I was totally scared of Bonnie. Now, every time I see him, I feel so bad for him. Its really sad. BUT ANYWAY, Its pretty late and I should go, so later days!
