Chapter 4: Foxy's Tale

She came into the dark room and sees Foxy sitting on a box near to the wall. His back was to her, so he had no idea she was in there. Foxy seemed to be thinking about something, but what? Heather walked up slowly, but stopped when he started talking.

"I wish they made that change in the rules a long time ago," Foxy said as he looked at his hook and hand. "If only I could tell them, but they would think I was crazy or something. I guess no one will ever know the truth about Old Foxy. I don't even remember my old name…" Heather decided that it was time to stop hiding.

"Foxy, are you alright?" She asked, startling the animatronic. He turned around and sees her. His eyes became nervous and he stiffened slightly.

"How much of that did you hear?" Foxy asked quickly as he looked at Heather. She took two steps closer, but stopped.

"All of it actually," Heather answered as she looked at Foxy. "What do you mean by the "truth"?" Foxy now looked a lot more worried and began to look around.

"I meant…I...um…I meant," Foxy said as he began to stutter horribly. "I meant the truth about me. I mean how I came here." She walked up to him and sat down in front of the animatronic.

"You can tell me, Foxy. I think at this point I will believe anything at this time," Heather said as she looked at the nervous fox. He looked at her and sighed, knowing that he wasn't getting out of this.

"I wasn't always an animatronic, I use to be a human," Foxy said as he began to remember his past.

~Foxy's Flashback~

It was a nice summer day and I was walking around the Pizzeria in my guard uniform. I was the best guard there. I played with the children when the needed some cheering up and I even got to go on stage and perform with the animatronics. I was loved by everyone. My best friend, a man named Micheal, told me about a new attraction that was being built for the children. He said that it would be called Pirate's Cove. I was overjoyed because I used to love pirates when I was a kid.

A few days later, when the attraction was built, I walked into the finished attraction and saw the new animatronic. He was a red fox with an eye patch and brown short like attachment. He even had a pirate's hook. I hear someone come in behind me and I turn to see who. I see one of the other guards. Well, it was the one that had to take lots of medication for his mental disability. I say hi to him, but he doesn't respond. He begins to walk up to me and he doesn't look to be in a very good mood. I back up fearing the worst. He pulls out a knife and I try to make my way around him. He blocks me and stabs me in the gut, which causes me to cough up blood. He pulls out the knife and I back away from him slowly, holding that spot. He smiles evilly and stabs me in the side also.

The pain causes me to fall to the ground and he looks at the suit and his smile grows wider. He knocks it over, causing the head to fall off it and I don't think I have to go into much detail on what he did next. Even through the blood loss and the pain, I manage to grab my walkie-talkie and bring it to my face. I press the button on the side.

"Any…anyone there…please…respond," I said as the pain began to make me cry. I hear Micheal's voice answer.

"Hello, who's there?" Micheal asked as he heard my call. I press the button again.

"Mike…Help…me," I say as the pain began to break up my voice.

"Riley, where are you?" Micheal asked quickly as his voice became more frantic.

"In Pirate's Cove…hurry," I said as my hand dropped somewhat. I hear someone running and enter the sandy area.

"Riley, where are you, man? I don't see you," Micheal asked as he called me. I press the button again.

"The animatronic suit…." I answer as I let my hand drop again. I hear him run over and see him after he pulls the animatronics' head off.

"Oh my god! Riley, who did this to you?" He asked as he got on his knees. I go to say, but the pain makes it impossible to talk at this point. He grabbed my shoulders and began to try and pull me out. I yell out of pain and he stops. He pulls out his walkie-talkie and presses the button. "Back-up to Pirate's Cove, officer down please hurry." I hear more running and 3 other guards come in along with Mr. Frazbear, the owner.

"What happened in here-"Mr. Frazbear stops when he sees me. "Riley, what happened to you? Who did this?" I manage to force myself to talk.

"Another…guard…" I answer as the pain took my voice away again.

"You two help Micheal get him out of there, and you call 911," Mr. Frazbear instructed quickly. One of the guards ran out of the room and the other two came over to the suit. They grab the animatronics' legs and Micheal grabbed my shoulders. They began to pull me out of the suit again. I yelled with pain as they did.

After about 5 minutes, they got me out and they were all gathered around me with sad looks on their faces. I see the curtain move and see the guard that did this to me. I tried to move further away from the fearful figure, but I couldn't move. I pointed at him and fear took over.

"St-stay away from… me, you…you psycho!" I said as I tried to back away from the entrance more and more. "He did this…he did this…to me!" Everyone turned to him and he took a step back.

"Arrest that man!" Mr. Frazbear said as he pointed to him. The two guards that stayed got up and began walking towards him. The guy ran and the two guards followed.

"Hang in there, Riley," Micheal said as tears came to his face. My eyes couldn't stay open any longer and I let unconscious world take me away.

~End of Flashback~

"It wasn't til a few hours later that I woke up and the doctor said it was a miracle that I lived," Foxy said. "My left hand was damaged mainly near the wrist and my right leg was in minor repair, so they had my hand in a cast just in case and told me that I needed to walk with a cane for a while. I also lost my left eye." Heather stared in amazement at his memory.

"I know you have a lot more to say, but how do you remember all of this?" Heather asked as she became more interested. Foxy put a hand on his head.

"It took a long time to remember all of this. It took me 15 years in order to gain most of my memory back. Even with all I have now, I still don't remember a whole lot," Foxy answered as he sighed. "Oh, so many memories lost and so much time has gone by. I wish I could see Micheal again. It would put me at ease to know that he was ok."

"Wow, you've been through some hard times," Heather said as she felt pity for the poor animatronic. His life was taken away from him and it forced him to this life.

"Well, it's alright. Now, where was I?" Foxy said as he changed the subject slightly. "Ah yes, a few weeks had gone by and the doctor finally released me. I decided to go back to Freddy's to show them that I was alright."

~Flashback~

I walked up to the door my cane in my right hand. I sigh and walk through the door and into my favorite place in the whole world. I walk for a second and see the animatronics idle on the stage. I assumed that it was near closing time. I walked down the hallway and knocked on Mr. Frazbear's door.

"Come in," I hear him call. I walk in and close the door. He doesn't look up from his paperwork. "What do you need?"

"Hey boss," I said weakly. It still hurt to talk. He looked up to the sound of my voice and he drops his pen. He gets up real quick and goes over to me.

"Riley, you're alright," Mr. Frazbear said as his excitement. "I didn't think you were ever coming back."

"The doctor released me this afternoon, so I decided to pop by," I said with a slight smile. "I missed this place and I hope I can continue working soon. The doctor said to give this about a month and then I have to return to the hospital to see if they can save my hand and if there are any further problems with my leg." Mr. Frazbear sees my patch and points to it.

"What's with the patch? Is there a nasty scar?" Mr. Frazbear asked out of curiosity.

"I lost that eye," I answered with the same smile. "I mean, it still hurts in my chest and, well, everywhere, but I can manage." Mr. Frazbear gave me a small hug.

"I'm just glad you're back," Mr. Frazbear said with a kind smile. I return it and look at the door.

"Is Micheal here?" I asked. Mr. Frazbear looked at the clock and smiles.

"Yeah, he's here, he's in your office. He said that he was going to continue your job til you could work again," He answered. I smile at the thought and thank him. I leave the office and began walking to my office. I walked for a few minutes and then I heard something behind me. I turn around and I see the Golden Freddy suit lying on the ground.

"What are you doing out here buddy? Did someone drag you out here as a practical joke?" I asked the idle animatronic suit. I walked up to it and smiled at it. "Poor thing, I wish I could help get you back to where you belong." I hear someone yell and quickly went that way. I see Micheal getting dragged by Freddy.

"Someone help me!" He yelled. I quickly went over there and went in front of him.

"Freddy, stop!" I yelled. Freddy looked at me and recognized me instantly. He let go of the guard and lightly hugged me.

"Riley, it's you!" He said happily. I got him to let go and looked at Micheal.

"You okay, buddy?" I asked him weakly as I walked up to him. He looked at me and joy filled his eyes. He got up quickly and hugged me.

"Riley, I didn't know when you were coming back," He said happily. I got him to let go because I was still in pain. He looked at me with disbelief. "How do you do this every night and still able to come in on the mornings?" I laughed slightly.

"It's not that hard when you're beloved by the animatronics," I said as I patted Freddy on his arm. I hear some static behind me and I turn around. I see that Golden Freddy suit. It was now standing and looking at Micheal. "Mike, get back now." Micheal took a couple steps back. Freddy went in front of him as if protecting him. It went for him and I hit in the head with my cane.

~End of Flashback~

"Truth is, I don't remember what happened after that, but I do believe that's about when I was killed by the animatronic," Foxy said. "I wish I could remember more, but that's all I can muster up so far."
