Michael's POV:

I don't want to let go. To be able to hug my baby brother again after so long…. There is so much we need to talk about. I can't be more grateful that the Davis's let me stay, even after hearing about what I've done. To be separated from Evan again… After finally getting him back. My heart wouldn't be able to take it.

With all my might I will myself to let go. I can tell that Evan didn't want it to end either. But with the look he is giving me I can tell, he knows that we need to talk. I follow him as he walks to the stairs. Going up to the second floor of the house, we step into one of the rooms. In the room there is a bed, with a toy chest against the side wall. This must be Evan's room. Evan sits on the bed, as I close the door to the room. No one must hear what we are about to say.

"Evan…. I can't say this enough. I'm sorry… I ruined your childhood. I…." I can't even finish my sentence through all my tears. I know he will never forgive me, and I don't deserve it.

"I thought you hated me. Everyday… was just another nightmare… I always wonder what I did wrong." My heart breaks as he says this. To have my baby brother, blame himself for how I treated him is something I can't have.

"I never hated you. After mom left and Lizzie….. I distance myself from everyone, as a distraction. Even then I hated myself more than anyone. It took what happened for me to open my eyes. Buddy….. you did nothing wrong. I took it out on you hoping it would distract me from all the pain. I realize what I did was wrong. You're my baby brother, I would never hate you." He was worried about me even when I started pushing him away. He could tell something was wrong, he heard my crying at night. Instead of letting him in I pushed him away and hurt him, in a way I could have never imagined.

"I should have believed you about what happened to Lizzy. Father…. he" How am I even supposed to tell him about that man. Where do I even begin? Even though he wasn't in his life too much. Evan still cared about father. When I found out…. I was shocked that the man I was trying to impress all my life was really just a monster. The more I found out about it, the more angered and betrayed I felt.

"Michael…. I know about what daddy did." He knows?! He has been here longer than me, he must have found out the truth. The Five Nights at Freddy's games are very popular here. I can only imagine what he read, and how it is affecting his mind.

"This world, where just a game in it." I sigh sitting down next to him, his eyes widened as he jumps backwards. He thinks I don't believe him, and that I will scare him. He's still afraid of me, with a heavy heart I carefully place a hand on his shoulder. He looks at me as he slowly calms down.

"I know, I found out shortly after I arrived here. I would have never imagined. And buddy…. I saw your nightmares in the images online. I'm sorry I didn't believe you." My tears fall down and I am shocked as Evan hugs me. He trusts me enough to confront him. I smile as I hug him and pat his back as he cries. This is how things should have been, a big brother always there to comfort his little brother. I won't waste this….. I just wish I Lizz could be here as well. All of us together again.

The image of the nightmare animatronics left me frozen to my core. To think that these monsters were around my brother makes me feel anger. There were many theories online about whether they were real or not, but the fact that they are a part of Evan's life at all…

"Every night I dreamed of them. And even when I woke up…" Evan stares blankly at the wall. I can tell he is thinking about everything I did to him. To have me during the days and the nightmare at night, it makes me want to beat myself up. I grab Evan's hand, as I tell him it's ok, and that he is safe here.

"I…. forgive you Michael." My eyes widen as my heart races. Did he just say….. After everything I did. What I made his childhood into…. He has it in his heart to forgive me? Evan can tell I am shocked, he smiles.

"But… buddy I…."

"I know. Even though I still feel the pain from it….. You're still my brother and I love you." My tears flow down my face as I hug him. How can I be so lucky to have a brother like him. From now on I am going to be the brother I should have been.

In Evan's arms is Fredbear. As I am hugging Evan, I notice its eyes looking directly at me. It's as if they are looking into my soul. But I am too happy to be freaked out about a stuffed toy, right now I have gotten my baby brother back and that's all I care about.

Fredbear's POV:

This can't be happening. After all he has done…

He may have Evan convinced but I KNOW him. He is only waiting for his moment. He thinks that by making it seem as though he trusts and loves Evan, that it will be even more 'funny' to scare him. To make him relieve his trauma all over again after so much healing. I won't let that monster hurt him, I am watching.

But yet there is something else. I have noticed many things unusual around this house lately. Force around here, a one I know all too well.

You cannot protect him. His nightmare shall never end. He avoided his fate once. But this time there will be no escape. Not even you will be able to help him.

You won't hurt him, I'll stop you. This is not your world, you don't belong here.

Neither do you. But unlike you we stick around. NOBODY escapes us.

Evan's POV:

It has been a few hours since we brought Michael to the house. The whole day he has been around me, playing with me. It feels so weird.. yet nice. Mia seems to like him as well. She was nervous around him at first, but after seeing how he is acting has been treating him like a second big brother. Leo and Emily have been avoiding him though, with Emily only asking small questions about what he did. Leo on the other hand has been completely isolated, ignoring Michael as he tried to apologize about the ruff start they had.

It is now night time. Olivia and Liam have been talking in the kitchen. I heard them mention my birthday since it's coming up in a week. They are trying to think of plans for it, and who to invite. I shiver at the thought. My birthday…. I rather not think about my birthday, but they seem so happy about planning it I won't say anything.

After I finish brushing my teeth and changing into my pajamas, I head towards the stairs. As I pass by the couch I see Michael, he has a blanket and pillow set up. He smiles and kneels down.

"Goodnight buddy. If you need anything I'll be down here." After he hugs me, I go up to my bedroom. I grab Fredbear from my dresser and lay down in I know it I have drifted off to sleep.

Evan wake up!

I slowly open my eyes, as I hear Fredbear. She sounds panicked, but what… My eyes widen as I look at what's sitting on the bed next to me. The familiar set of small white eyes stare at me! The Freddle twitches violently as I jump out of bed and hurry to my nightstand. Taking out a flashlight I shine it as the Fredball turns back into a regular Freddy Plushie.

My heart races as tears fall down my face. Why are they back! We left them behind in our world! I need to check the door's, I can't let them get in!

Running to my bedroom door, I hold my breath as I listen for breathing. Sure enough the distorted breathing is on the other side of the door. I close the door the millisecond I hear it, and I wait until it leaves before checking the hallway. When I do I gasp as I see Nightmare Chica's head coming from behind the hallways corner, before she ducks behind the corner.

I take a deep breath as I steady my flashlight. I can do this it's 12 am right now, I only need to make it to 6. I go to the closet door to check for Foxy. Sure enough he snaps at my head scaring me. I close the closet door waiting for him to return to a different phase.

This is going to be a long night.

Michael's POV:

I lay awake looking at the ceiling. It's not that the couch isn't comfortable, I just can't stop thinking about Evan. Every night he would have nightmares. I need to make sure he is ok, after that I can rest easy.

As I get up from the couch, I try to move as quietly as possible to not wake everyone else. But as I make it up the stairs my heart stops at the sight that greets me. Standing further down the hallways is the Nightmare version of Bonnie. For a second we just stare at each other, none of us moving. It looks just as shocked as I am, it didn't expect to see me here. But I am horrified as I realize what is happening. They've come for Evan! I need to get to him before those evil bastards do!

The inaction doesn't last long however. Nightmare Bonnie starts walking towards me moving at an alarmingly fast pace. I feel terror in my heart, as I run to Evan's room.

Author's Notes:

The Nightmare animatronics are back and they are after Evan! Michael needs to reach Evan fast, can the two of them survive the night?!
