(This is a sort of book based AU with some game assets added to it, it may be a bit terrible, as I am not that much of a FNAF fan myself, but I'm quite familiar with it, but this is an AU. And nothing can be wrong in an AU right?)

Chapter 1

I opened the door to the place I'm scared of going to, Charlotte rushed past me and stood still, staring at the 'Wonder' that this place contains. I sat down at a table, my chest felt tight, every time I go here, whether it's for work, or a day out, it just brings back memories, memories that make my heart race every time I think about them. Charlotte came up to me and asked "Daddy! Can I go watch the animatronics do their show?" as much as I am scared of her going near them, I reply:
"Sure Charlie, just be careful." You don't want to end up like him...
I watched Charlotte race off to watch them dance and sing, but suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder
"Hello there old pal, good to see you again, you brought Charlotte here I'm guessing."
I nodded
"Yes Will, just for fun." I saw a smile light up on his face as he grabbed a chair and sat down next to me, I shivered a bit, it's been a while since we've talked.
"Is it just you and her? Did you not bring...?"
I did not want to play his mind games so I shrugged it off. It's been only a couple of months since my wife asked for a divorce after she found out about mine and Will's old past.
"Of course not, it's like you don't know about what happened." William smiled, Charlotte came over and saw me talking to William.
"Hey dad, who's this?"
"William, he's my old friend, you've heard me talking about him before remember?"
Charlie started to think before replying
"Oh! You're that cool friend my dad has! You're the guy that makes the cool robots!"
I looked at William, a grin was spread across his face.
"I'm William afton, co-owners alongside your dad, Henry here."

Chapter 2

I got up to leave, Charlotte rushed to the car. William stood at the entrance, as I passed him I decided to talk to him. "Well... As you may know... my daughter's birthday is coming up soon."
William leaned back onto the glass door
"Yes? And what are you implying?"
I fiddled with my fingers for a bit. was it right for me to ask this of him?
"Charlie is really, really happy to finally get to see you, and it would be nice if you made her something for her birthday."
William put his hand across his stubble and thought it out, he finally answered.
"Sure, if she wishes."
"Just... Don't make it dangerous..." I don't want her to die on her birthday
William nodded and waved me good-bye. I got into the car and drove home.

The next day, Charlie asked if she could walk to school with her friend's parents because I looked too tired. I stayed up all night last night making toys for her, so I guess I could have a nice rest before I go to work. I watched Charlie walk over to her friends and left for school. I sat down on the couch and checked the news... He froze.
William, why are you doing this again?

Chapter 3

I felt tired the next day, when I went to work, I felt like I could fall asleep and never wake up. William has noticed sometimes and has said that I could go home if I am too tired, which is stupid, as he knows that I am a workaholic and that I take pride in my work very dearly.
Suddenly I hear screaming coming from behind the stage, another springlock failure? Can this year get any worse?! Me and William rushed backstage and attempted to remove the suit from the body, somehow, he was still alive. "Are you okay sir?" I ask him.
"Ugh... I don't know..." I sighed and then looked at William
"Can I trust you to phone the ambulance?"
William nodded and rushed out the door to the stage. I sigh and investigated the springlocks, some blood was on them, but there is something else... vegetable oil... It was a trap.
"Is everything alright sir? You look kinda worried."
"Y-yea- I mean no- I don't know, but someone laid out a trap for you."
"Really?" I looked at him and nodded. He clenched his fists tight. "Who in the right mind would think of killing someone as lowly as me?" I thought to myself for a while I swear, if it's him-- Will came back into the room and some paramedics came and took the man away. William walked up to me, but I was so mad I smacked him across the face.
"Don't you dare tamper with my robots again, you hear me?" William fell silent and I sighed. "This was his first day at the job as well, and you ruined it for him, great, now he probably won't come back, and we NEED new employees, okay?" Will nodded and aimed for the door. He then stopped.
"Henry..." I looked up at him. His smile turned into a frown, unusual for him. "I'll try, but... Can you..."
"What?"
"Can you stop overworking yourself and please have a break? This is not your normal behavior."
