The place still stood the same way it did June 16th, 1985, but it has seen better days. Instead of being a bright green it was now faded into a lighter green and the paint chipped. I peered into the grime covered window and I could tell that the building was littered with trash. You think that if they let it stand that they would at least take care of it, but instead they have it rotting out here without it doing anything. I guess that Fazbear Entertainment didn't want to pay to have it torn down and decided that leaving it here would cost less.

But regardless of the state it is in now the building looks a lot creepier than I remember it to be from our childhood. All that childhood fun has eroded away, and it has been replaced by a place of horrors. The cute looking mascots on the sign have changed from feelings of joy to feeling as if they are staring into my soul. The site of the old arcade machines through the window no longer inspires the rush to play with them but to avoid them and hide.

I then feel a hand on my shoulder, and I turn around and I see Gabrial standing there with a sympathetic look and an equally scared face.

"Cass, we are right behind you. Take your time and go in when you're ready."

I take a deep gulp and I just stare at the building. It feels as if the building is ready to swallow me up and to make me relive that day all over again. The building was so overwhelming that I felt as if I could faint just by staring at it.

"Thank you. I'm ready." I say with unsureness in my voice. I take a step forward and I feel like I can't even breathe. Then finally I mustered up the courage to take another step. Each step I take takes 10 seconds; the closer I get to the building the more I feel like passing out and my breathing gets harder and harder. My friends follow behind me, taking just as long to walk as I am.

Finally, I make it to the door handle, and I reach for it, but I stop. It feels as if my hand is frozen in place. Every fiber of my being is saying not to open this door. My body feels completed to turn around but then my mind freezes. Images of Fritz fill my head; all the playing we did as kids, all the times we hung out after school, all the times we had ice cream together.

No, I could not leave him. And with all my strength I willed my hand to reach for the door handle and I opened the door.

The sight that greeted me almost made me throw up. It was all still here. The Prize counter where we turned in our tickets as kids, the arcade games where we tried to get high scores, pirates cove where we listened to Foxy sing, and finally my eyes laid on the animatronics. They were still there.

Freddy still stood at the center where he held his microphone. Chica still stood on the left side of the stage holding her cupcake. And Bonnie still was on the right side with his guitar.

I then walked over to the pirate's cove curtain, and I pulled it aside. Sure, enough Foxy was still there. He looked more intimidating now, it looks as if he could leap forward any moment and stab us with his hook.

"Fritz would have loved to see him again." I say looking down at the ground. I could just feel the depressing feeling of knowing that even if Fritz was here, he still wouldn't be able to see him.

"Fritz our you here" Susie whispers as she walks around the dining room. If William is here, then he will definitely hear us. How are we supposed to find Fritz without being noticed by William at the same time!

"Fritz, are you here! It's me Cass!" I whisper loudly but not too loudly that William could hear it if he was in another room.

I then take out my flashlight and I start shining it around the dining room. My light reflects on pirate's cove.


"Cass, look it's Foxy!"

"Fritz, why do you like Foxy so much?"

Fritz answers back with excitement "What's not to like Cass? He is so cool with his pirate hook and his singing!"

I laugh and smile back at Fritz "I guess you're right Foxy is pretty cool!"


I hold my head. I am leaning against pirate's cove. Why did I suddenly have that memory? I was looking at pirates cove a minute ago. Maybe it's because the light is laminating it now.

I then walk towards the stage, and I shine my light on the animatronics. I then gasp and fall to the floor.


Daddy walks over to me with a smile on his face. "So, sweetie, what animatronic is your favorite?"

"I don't know daddy! They're all so cool" I shout in my energetic and happy voice.

"What about Foxy with his cool pirate hook!"

"Sure, Foxy is cool! But I still love all of them."

"What about Bonnie with his guitar?"

"Bonnie looks cute with his bug bunny ears, but he isn't my favorite either."

"What about Chica with her cupcake and pizza?"

"I love Chica and her love of pizza, but I still don't know if she is your favorite."

"Then is your favorite Freddy Fazbear, the main member of the band?"

"Freddy is so cool with his hat but no not him either."

"Then who is your favorite sweetie?"

"I don't have a favorite daddy! I love them all equally!"


I feel a hand on my shoulder, and I look up and I see Jeremy standing over me with a worried look on his face.

"Cass, are you ok?"

"I'm fine thank you" But Jeremy still looked unconvinced. I then walked towards the middle of the dining room.


Hello children, is it somebody's birthday?!"

Yes, it's my birthday Bonnie!"

"Happy birthday little girl what's your name?!"

"My name's Cassidy!"


"When I come out of the memory I am sweating, and I am gasping for air.

"Cass, stay calm. Breath in and out." Susie says in a calm and soothing voice next to me.

"Thanks. Now let's go look for Fritz" I say as I continue walking forward towards the hallway.


Bonnie is behind us skipping as he walks. We were in front of him smiling. The next thing I know we are standing in front of a steel door.


I then blinked trying to remember where we were but when I did, I wish I didn't. I was standing in front of the steel safe room door.

I must have been walking while I was having that memory. This was the only place left to search for Fritz. My friends searched the office while I was looking around. He is ever in here or he was never here at all.

It feels as if the world has stopped. It was as if there was nothing else but this door. This door holds the memories of my deepest and darkest moment of my life. I knew that by opening this door that I would have to relive all that pain again.

My hand slowly inched towards the door, and with all the willpower in my brain I yanked it open.


Bonnie is holding me with a knife to my throat "You kids are so cute! My name is not Bonnie, it's William!"

"Please Mr. William let me go!"

"I hope you had a great birthday kid, because it will be your last!"


The room becomes visible to me. There in the middle of the room was the body of a man in a guard uniform. His eyes were open and unblinking. And there lying right next to him was Fritz. Unmoving and lying in a puddle of blood.

I never screamed so loud in my life. And my scream was soon followed by my friends' screams.

"FRITZ!"

I am about to run forward but we are all frozen by the deep sounding voice behind us.

"Hello children. Welcome back"
