Our main character turned 5 years old a month ago. Even though she was just a child, she really had the mind of a 20-year-old nerd. The holiday was celebrated in a pizzeria, bowling alley and at home. It was fun. But that's not the point now.

This place was called the pizzeria of "Freddy Fazbear and his friends". It was the second establishment after Fredbear's Family Diner. This place was discovered by Scott Cawthon. Scott also created animatronics in this pizzeria, but Henry and William also helped him.

The main star of this institution was Freddy Fazbear. The robot was a solo bear with blue eyes and a black top hat. However, he wasn't alone. Freddy had two friends, Foxy and Bonnie.

Foxy is an animatronic fox of red color, he wears brown linen trousers, badly torn, his legs are a clean endoskeleton without a suit, the suit itself on his stomach and arms is torn in some places, so the endoskeleton is visible, and the damage was special to create the appearance of battle scars, on Foxy's right hand instead of a brush hook although not sharp, so as not to injure children, he also wears a pirate bandage on his right eye, but the eye under the bandage is quite functional, he has several gold teeth, and in some places the teeth are completely missing, as if someone knocked them out. The robot's task is to tell children stories and pirate stories, and it is also located on a separate stage called "Pirate Bay". Before and after the performance, the "bay" hid Foxy with a massive purple curtain, on which there were many white stars.

Although the guests liked these animatronics, this did not interrupt their desire to see William's animatronics, which had already become a constant subject of discussion.

- But where are the animatronics of William Afton? When will we see this miracle? - the crowds of people did not let up.

There are especially many of them gathered today. And all why?

William stood backstage and smiled. All that remained was to activate it by clicking here... Henry, who was standing next to him, was also smiling. He was quite surprised that his friend began to create animatronics so quickly. After all, Funtime Freddy was created in 3 months, and Ennard in just 2 months! And all thanks to K'hadesh. Angel always corrects him. Protects from wrong decisions.

Finally, Afton sighed and looked up, carefully examining the animatronics he had been working on for the past months.

Ennard was a clown magician. He was quite tall, his face was decorated with a white mask resembling a human form. Right in its center there is a red clown's nose, he has blue eyes, above which thin red eyebrows flaunted. Right between the eyes, in an upright position, there was a line dividing the mask in two. The same, but already horizontal, was slightly lower. The robot's costume was made in the style of a classic clown outfit: trousers, half red, half blue, with white stripes and wide green suspenders, a yellow shirt, blue gloves, large red shoes with golden bells on the ends, a red and white ruff collar around the neck with multicolored bells, a large scarlet button in the middle of the chest, and a speaker, artfully made in the form of a red flower, as well as a striped light green festive hat with a pompom on the tip. To be honest, this cap was an exact copy of Phil's cap. And although William doesn't even know about Phil's existence.

But that's not the point now. Afton got up from the chair on which he had been sitting for so long and put aside the rag with which he had previously cleaned the clown from dust. The man looked around and found that Henry was not nearby. Then, he decided to lightly run his fingers over Ennard's teeth. There were 32 of them, exactly like a human, but they differed in their sharpness. And no, William didn't think that the robot would be able to bite someone. K'hadesh assured him that nothing like this would happen, and there was no need to worry, since the magic he had used had never failed.

The animatronic was about to perform for the first time. First among all, Ennard wore the brightest suit, and so far Afton himself liked it the most.

Before Scott returns and the performance begins, the man wanted to move a little further away, and once again admire his invention. The animatronic also had a secret compartment in his stomach, where the things necessary for his tricks were stored. And also in the departments on the hands and in many other places that were inaccessible to the eyes of not only children, but also adults.

- How long are you going to paw him? - K'hadesh asked mockingly.

- You want to see him in action too, don't you? - William answered the question with a question and turned with a smile on his face in the direction of K'hadesh.

The ghost just nodded. Of course, K'hadesh, too, was as eager to finally see Ennard in action as the inventor himself.

Soon Henry returned to William with a glass of soda in his hands. While William was pressing the necessary buttons and entering the necessary combinations, Henry noticed that Scott had been gone for 20 minutes, and so many people did not go for a glass of soda.

- Where is he? - Henry said to himself.

- What, have you already lost me? - suddenly, out of nowhere, Scott appeared with a glass of soda in his hands.

- And where have you been? - Emily turned to Cawthon.

- Gabriel and Cassidy are already looking forward to Ennard's performance, so they flooded me with a bunch of questions. - blue-eyed explained.

- The hour has come. - Afton replied, mesmerized, moving away from Ennard, whose systems were starting to activate in turn.

The animatronic's eyes flashed.

14 hours 10 minutes

Visitors to the pizzeria "Freddy Fazbear and his friends" were looking forward to the appearance of the sensational animatronics in recent months. The owner of the establishment warned that the robot itself was about to take the stage. And after these words, the continuously noisy hall abruptly quieted down. Even the children stopped screaming and crying. All the people were like enchanted, carefully watching the scenes. Only a few of them dared to whisper softly. Our heroes turned out to be such brave souls.

- When will he come out? - couldn't wait for Sammy.

- Soon. - Elizabeth replied shortly.

- It's been 5 minutes already! - Sammy persisted.

- Quiet you! - Helen hissed. Quentin was lying quietly on her lap and was also waiting for the robot to perform.

- Are you really going to see an animatronic for the first time? I thought dad had already shown you... - Gabriel turned to Afton's children.

- He kept it in the workshop and wouldn't let us go in there. He wanted it to be a surprise for us as well. - Naomi explained.

These whispers could have lasted forever if the fabric hadn't suddenly started moving. Everyone present seemed to have stopped breathing. It's been more than five minutes, but no one has said a word out loud. Suddenly, this happened.

The fabric abruptly fell back, and at the same moment there was a pop. There was smoke behind the scenes, from where something bright and multicolored suddenly jumped out. Someone screamed in surprise. It seems, like it was the timid Cassidy. People backed away, but the smoke quickly dissipated, and a miracle machine opened up to their eyes. Ennard.

He laughed good-naturedly, and deftly juggled three balls at once. The children were infected with his laughter, and forgetting about everything, they already wanted to run closer, but their parents, who had not yet recovered from the suddenness, held them back.

- Hello, boys and girls! - a pleasant mechanical voice rang out. - I am glad to welcome you and your parents to my magic show! Sit down comfortably, and we'll begin!

Now the adults have seated their children in their places. A strange atmosphere appeared in the hall, as if people did not trust the robot, although Elizabeth and her friends did not feel any danger to themselves. It was as if Ennard had heard their thoughts.

- Don't be afraid! I want to bring joy to this world. Come on, who wants to become a participant in the first focus?

No one moved for the first few seconds. Then Rita confidently emerged from the crowd. She was always brave, and Scott loved her for that.

- I want to. - she said firmly when everyone turned their eyes on her. She didn't doubt for a single second that her friend's invention could be dangerous. She trusted him and had known him for many years to go on stage to this robot now.

- Great! You are very brave! - Ennard was delighted, and beckoned her to him with his hand. - Don't be shy! Now you will see a real miracle!

Rita took a few steps, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw her children closely and enthusiastically watching her actions. Then William himself appeared on the stage, and he approached the animatronic.

- You really shouldn't be afraid of him. He will never hurt anyone, I guarantee it. Even cases of malfunctions have been provided for, and nothing threatens either you or your children.

As soon as the woman stopped next to the clown, Cassidy's voice was heard from behind.

- Mom! Can I participate too? - he asked.

The confused lady looked in the direction of her friend, who came on stage, and he nodded in response.

- Of course, honey. - the mother smiled and looked straight into Ennard's eyes.

The animatronic just laughed and pulled something out from behind his back. It turned out to be a toy of a white bunny, which he immediately handed to Cassidy, who ran up to him.

- Hold on, baby! I am glad that you are also participating in our focus. And now, miss... - Ennard took out a deck of cards from somewhere. - Now you will have to choose any card.

Rita smiled and nodded. The magician, in turn, began to shuffle the deck very quickly, and people gasped enthusiastically at this sight. It was really incredible. It would seem that thick and clumsy fingers turned individual cards so quickly that no one had time to blink an eye, as they already replaced each other, and jumped to the beginning, then to the end of the deck. Then Ennard began to stack them with a fan, a house, and other incredible figures that stunned the audience. In the end, the robot unfolded all the cards and handed them to the woman.

- Make a wish for any of them. And then don't forget! - Ennard said.

After these words, the blonde thought for a while and tilted her head to one side.

- I wish.

At that moment, she was thinking about the ace of spades. Then the magician moved away a little and began to shuffle the cards again, showing everyone incredible tricks. In the end, the clown set fire to the deck at all, but so that no one would be afraid, he quickly covered it with his hand, and it evaporated.

- Oh... I'm afraid it's in your left skirt pocket, miss.

Dipping her hand into her pocket, the woman discovered that there really was something there, although she clearly remembered that she had not put anything there. It turned out to be a deck of cards that had been burning in Ennard's hands a moment ago.

- Wait a second, give it to me... - the robot said as if he was very curious.

She handed him the cards, and the animatronic quickly scanned each of them.

- Hm... Something seems to be missing. - Ennard turned to Cassidy. - Hey, kid! Look at what's behind your right ear?

The boy dumbfounded pulled out the ace of spades from behind his ear. When her mom looked at the map with her eyes wide with surprise, Cassidy laughed and clapped his hands.

- Is it me, or is this your card, miss? - Ennard laughed after the blue-eyed one.

- Yes... - Rita replied, stunned.

- That's not all! I'll show you another trick, but now I want everyone to join!

This time people did not doubt. Almost everyone rushed to the robot, including adults.

16 hours 12 minutes

Ennard surprised everyone for a long time, showing a variety of tricks with balls, cards, hats and other things. After that, he started telling jokes, actively gesticulating with his hands and just making people laugh, also using additional props. Then, instead of enthusiastically gasping, the audience began to laugh uncontrollably. No one kept track of the time, and no one knew how long the performance lasted. Ennard captured the hearts and minds of everyone who watched his show.

- Hey, I think someone called me backstage. I think it's time to take a break and have a big snack! - the animatronic paused for a moment and turned towards the stage. - But don't worry, we will definitely meet again! And now I...

At that moment something happened, and the animatronic's voice was interrupted. Ennard made a strange sound and froze.

16 hours 13 minutes

Happy William, who had been watching the entire performance, tensed up. Before that, everything was going just fine! People were happy, his creation captured their hearts. This is what the man dreamed of. But now something was wrong. The robot stopped and fell silent, although its systems were still working and its eyes were glowing.

- Was that exactly in the script? - Scott came up from behind.

Without answering, Afton continued to watch. Henry and Scott also silently watched the robot. Then, oddities began to happen.

Ennard hummed and his body began to shake. Literally shaking. Surprised people began to whisper among themselves, and take their children away from the machine. Then, when the visitors were at a distance from him, the animatronic tried to say something. His words turned into a continuous hissing and crackling of a broken speaker, and it became difficult to make out anything from it. The oddities didn't stop there. The shaking began to intensify, as if Ennard was cramping. There was another hiss, but this time a wisp of smoke escaped from under the robot suit. Adult visitors began to panic, and their children to cry.

- I... I... - the animatronic screamed pitifully while his whole body was shaking and hissing.

Now it has also started to sparkle.

- Call the workers! Everything went wrong! - William shouted irritably in the direction of Henry and jumped out from behind the scenes.

- Dear visitors! Try to stay calm. Now a special team will come here and...

- What the hell is this?! - one of the men shouted.

- You promised that nothing like this would happen! - a woman shouted, holding her daughter in her arms.

Before William could utter a word in reply, Ennard began to laugh incessantly. All this time he did not move from his seat, but the panic among the people did not stop and only intensified.

- People... Please, calm down! - William shouted, already giving up, but his words were drowned in screams, crying and loud conversations.

- Fuck you! - some man threw.

Finally, the crew ran onto the stage. By that time, Ennard began to shake with such force that the suit had already begun to fall apart, and its parts fell to the floor with a loud thud. Nuts and bolts flew in different directions, and a puddle of black oil slowly formed under the feet of the animatronics. People in special suits ran closer. These suits could protect them from a powerful blow from the robot if it suddenly tries to harm someone. In their hands they carried something like clubs, sparkling at the end. These batons, when colliding with the animatronic's body, caused a powerful discharge, the force of which was enough to shut down all his systems. Three men simultaneously struck with batons at the places where Ennard's endoskeleton was open. The robot sparkled with renewed vigor, releasing microscopic blue lightning. After the second blow, his eyes went out, and a pile of metal collapsed powerlessly onto the stage. The audience abruptly quieted down, looking fearfully towards the stage.

February 16, 2017

William watched with a frown as Ennard was disassembled for parts. It all happened so quickly and unexpectedly that Afton still did not fully believe it himself. People panicked, and they refused to go back to the institution with mechanical monsters. Fortunately, the visitors did not run away too far, surrounding the establishment from all sides. They behaved differently. Someone tried to call the police, others were just scared, small children were crying, and some continuously cursed the restaurant and its owner. Only Elizabeth and her friends looked at each other anxiously and tried to enter the pizzeria and find out from their parents what happened to the clown, but Scott did not let the kids in to protect them. They were the only ones who wanted to go back inside. People were scared and angry, not wanting to come to any of the pizzerias with animatronics anymore, which scared the kids, because their parents could lose not only their reputation right now, but also their jobs in general. And pizzerias can also lose their history, the future and the spark that has always complemented them, and they were not only singing mechanical animals, but also visitors who used to enjoy the songs and stories of their favorite characters.

Henry took a microphone with him and spent a lot of time outside, convincing people that such cases happen, and that they should not panic about it. He also recalled that during the incident, not a single child or his parent received a scratch, and the elimination team worked quickly and promptly. It took several hours for all the explanations and answers to questions, and the exhausted Henry was still able to regain the trust of visitors and calm everyone down. Soon everyone began to disperse.

Nevertheless, the man coped with his feelings and even persuaded some families to attend a new pizzeria that is about to open, where four more new animatronics will perform. He promised them that robots would not approach anyone, and also, during the concert, a group of specialists would be present in the hall, ready to eliminate potentially dangerous robots at any moment.

William spent the whole day in the dusty room of the pizzeria, helping the team deal with the problem that caused everything to happen. The most interesting thing was that despite the complete disassembly of the robot, they did not find the problem. None of the team members, like William himself, could not understand the cause of the animatronic breakdown. He just amused the people and... Gone crazy.

Now parts of the suit were being reattached to Ennard as a team of technicians tried to restore him to his former appearance. It was useless, and Afton knew it perfectly well. Ennard will never go on stage again. This robot made a terrible impression on the audience, and it will forever be remembered as a creepy mechanical monster. He's doomed. He's dead. And while William was replaying this in his head, he was gnawed by an incredible sense of resentment. So much work has been invested, so much effort has been spent. How could such an injustice happen?

Hearing a whisper in his head, Afton looked up. He was in a gloomy technical room, buried at a level below the ground, where sunlight did not penetrate. The oblong fluorescent lamp also did not help much in lighting, although it cast eerie long shadows on the walls. It stank of dampness, and it was easy to notice particles of fine dust in the air. Just like at his house. Like in his own workshop. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he watched as Scott picked up the welding.

- Stop it, Scott. You should get some rest, we've done enough work today.

- Well, no. - Scott grinned in response. - I'll rest right after I finish the job.

- Whatever you say. - Afton shrugged and turned to leave the room.

He knew it was useless to argue with him. Scott is very stubborn.

16 hours 11 minutes

- You don't have to blame yourself. - K'hadesh encouraged and put his hand on William's shoulder. - That was fate, and you have to accept it. In any case, this tin can won't help you or me in any way. He deserved such a fate.

- Shouldn't your magic have prevented that? - William looked at the angel.

This time K'hadesh frowned.

- Alas, I am not almighty. My magic, and any magic in general, is not almighty either, and therefore it could have something to do with it, but I could not predict this. - there was a pause after that. - In any case, as I said earlier, his role is insignificant. As insignificant as his loss. So forget about him, and let's discuss other robots.

William thought about the angel's words for a while. It's not too easy to get along with such a strange creature as K'hadesh. The only ones who could see K'hadesh were Elizabeth and William, and it's unclear why the girl could see him. K'hadesh had already studied the Afton house and its inhabitants inside and out, he calmly stole apples from the refrigerator, moved things and watched the Afton life. William considered him his friend, his savior, but... The notes of anxiety disturbed him, and the man did not know how to behave in such a case. The angel watched patiently, not daring to disturb the man's thoughts. He was silent for about two minutes, and then barely nodded.

- What if magic messes something up again? If fate surprises us again? What is it? - he asked suddenly.

K'hadesh laughed.

- Don't be silly, Will. I'm telling you, Ennard is a jerk. I didn't really use magic on him. Almost. That's why he fell into the trap of fate. Trust me, I can control the situation. The darkness taught me that well.

- Darkness... - William muttered. - And the darkness? Why the darkness? I was thinking... Oh, yeah. Nonsense. Darkness and light are relative concepts. You're an angel... I know.

Afton shook his head, and the idiotic thoughts dissipated. The angel smiled. He had seen this many times before. The man's mind was quite stable, it was not so easy to subdue. Therefore, the angel invested as much effort as possible to make his mind easily accessible. At some moments, this kind of useless babble breaks out of William's mind. Memories of the Bible and some other shit about the forces of evil and good. This sometimes annoyed the ghost.

- Exactly. And now you have to go. You will open your own pizzeria, and nothing will happen this time, I assure you. They need you, William. A new story will happen soon.

The man nodded again, and leaned forward slightly.

- All right, savior. I will do what is necessary.

After these words, the elevator opened, and William found himself in a pizzeria, which is due to open in a few months.

K'hadesh just burst out laughing and smiled maliciously. There's just a little bit left.
