William Afton

+CONTAINS SWEAR WORDS AND SUICIDAL THOUGHTS AND GORE+

William's POV:

It passed a week from Clara's death, and it was just me and Micheal. I did as Clara asked, I spent time with Mike. Although, he looked mad at me every time I tried to talk to him he would just walk away. I've had enough of this. I took a steady breath and walked upstairs and headed toward his room. I knocked, and he opened the door. His eyes were shining white from his tears and he had red bags under his eyes. "what do you want?" he asked in a firm tone wiping away his tears. "I want to talk with you" I replied looking down at him. He looked into my eyes and moved away from the doorway with a signal that I could step into his room. I stepped into his room and sat down next to him on the bed. There was a bit of silence and Mike muttered something under his breath that I couldn't hear. "can you say that louder..?" I asked. "When will you finally say it?" he said his eyes filling with tears and looking down at his feet. "say what?" I asked placing my hand on his shoulder. "THAT YOU WANT ME GONE!" he shouted and his tears rushed down his face, and he stood up through off my arm. My eyes watered at the hearing of that. I stood up face to face with him. "who told you that?!" I said my tone rising. "I would NEVER want you gone, you're MY son," I said firmly. Micheal looked up at me and hugged me tightly. "b-but I broke this family apart" he said sobbing into my chest. I hugged him back. "it's not your fault..it just happened.." I responded. "I don't deserve to be an Afton..." he whispered. My eyes widened at the hearing of that. I released the hugged and looked into his eyes, he looked back. "I don't know who said that, but you do deserve to be apart of this family," I said. I wiped off his tears and warmly smiled, and he smiled back. "now, let's go watch a movie" I said heading out of his room. He stood in place. "you'll get to choose" I said grinning. I grinned back and ran after me into the living room. We chose the movie and sat in the living room laughing and spending some father and son time. Until he said something that shocked me. "Dad...do you promise you will never leave me too..like Chris, Lizzy, and Mom..?" he looked straight into my eyes. I smiled warmly and replied. "I promise."

~The Next Day~

I woke up due to the sun shining into my eyes. I woke up to see Micheal sleeping in my arms. I smiled to myself. I gently moved Mike off me and stood up, I headed into my office. I sat down in my office chair and took out some animatronic files, and studied them closely. I heard walking and I looked up to see Micheal in front of my office door. "good morning Mikey" I said smiling. "morning dad" he replied. "I'm gonna go shower," he said and went upstairs. Then there was a loud knock at the door. I walked out of my office and into the living and I opened the door to see Henry. He looked sad and lost but also filled with anger. "what's wrong Hen?" I asked curiously. "Don't act so innocent William!" he shouted at me. "w-what?" I was confused. He walked into the house pushing me inside. "You fucking killed my daughter! You knew how important she was to me! She was my everything, and you killed her! My baby girl!" he shouted even louder than before, crying. I froze when I heard that. I completely forgot. "I can't believe my own friend did that!" he shouted again but this time slapping me hard in the face. "You just like your father!" he growled raising his hand again to slap me. But I caught it and gripped it hard so he couldn't release it. "I will NEVER be like my father," I said with a loud tone. I looked up at Henry, he was crying in his face I could see pain and heartbreak. He released his hand and walked out the door. "You are so lucky that we were friends." Henry whispered as he walked towards the doors. "Otherwise, I'd call the police on you. But I don't want Michael alone." He finished his sentence, as he finally left.  I finally released my breath. "I fucked up..." I muttered to myself. I felt a tear running down my face. I quickly wiped it off and headed into my room. I locked the door at sat down in the corner. After some minutes I calmed down and I stood up to my drawer. I opened it and took out a little sharp pocket knife. I sat back down in the corner and stared at it. "am I really like my father..?" I asked myself. Another tear ran down my face. I tightly gripped my knife and slit my wrist. Dark red blood came out of the cut and dripped down to the floor. My pain was big, but not too big. I cut again, and the pain was bigger. I cut it about two more times and repeated it on my other wrist. My blood dripped more and more, the pain was unbearable. I sobbed a bit, not because of the cuts pain but of the pain of losing my children and wife and also losing my best friend. Then there was a knock at my bedroom door. "dad, are you alright?" it was Micheal. I quickly wiped off my tears and stood up. "yeah I'm fine" he responded with a normal voice. "are you sure I heard crying?" he asked another question. "I'm fine," I told him again. "can I come in..?" he asked. "y-yeah, hold on" I replied. I didn't know what to do, I quickly turned around and carelessly put on some bandages and a hoodie to cover my wrists. And hide the knife and wiped the blood off the floor. I sped toward the door, unlocked it, and opened it. I let him inside. "what do you need?" I asked forcing a smile. "I just wanted to know what were those loud fighting screams downstairs while I was showering." he said. "don't worry about it, it was nothing" I replied and smiled. "okay then" he replied and headed out of my room. When he walked out my smile faded. I closed the door and sat in the corner. I heard walking in the hallway, but then it stopped. After a couple of seconds, the sound came and a black shadow appeared. From the black shapeless shadow, it turned into a dirty yellow bunny. Similar to Springbonnie but different. The bunny had stitches around the arms, hands, and legs. To that, it had a purple vest and bow tie with little white stars and two dark brown buttons. It looked sort of like a glitch. "Hello there," it said with a glitching tone. "who are you?" I shot with questions right away. "I'm Glitchtrap, you must be William Afton, correct?" Glitchtrap said. "w-what how did you-" before I could finish my sentence Glitchtrap interrupted me. "I have my ways." he said firmly. "anyway, I heard that you have some..problems," he said with a grin. I stayed silent. "I can help you with them," he said bending down to face me. I looked into his light purple eyes. "how will you help me?" I asked looking down. His grin grew bigger. He stood up and handed his hand out to me. I took hold of it and he helped me get up. "well" he started, "I can bring you back your children and your wife, but in return..I want your control" he said looking at me. "what do you mean..my control..?" I asked. "Well, I'll get into your mind and control you, it's not big of a favor" he chuckled. "and you'll bring back Chris, Elizabeth, and Clara?" I asked to make sure. He nodded. "Just give me your hand," he said reaching his hand out. I thought for a moment and took hold of his hand. There was purple light starting from our hands, then to our arms, and soon it covered the whole room. I blacked out for a bit. I woke up to see myself in a black room of emptiness. And then I was back in my body. I was at Circus Baby's Pizza World. I was in the room with the ballerina named Ballora. She always reminded me of Clara and her beautiful dances. I smiled to myself. But then in the robot's hair, I saw Clara's hairpin. It was in Ballora's hair. Then Glitchtrap appeared in front of me. "Your wife will possess her," he said smiling. "what?" I was surprised. "is that what you did? while I was in that weird black empty room?" I asked. "mhm" he responded fixing the female robot's hair. "Thank you," I said with a smile. He replied with a smile too. "oh, and your dear daughter possesses Circus Baby" he added. I smiled. But then he grinned with an evil smile and I blacked out again. I was in the empty room once again. I heard children screaming and laughing I was terrified. Then I saw myself I was at Freddy's, I held a knife all in blood. Around me were children, they were all dead. Blood was everywhere. I was scared. The kids were in the suits of the animatronics -Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy- blood dripped from them. I backed up but I tripped over something. And in front of me there we ghosts or souls from the kids. I stood up and ran into the backroom. I was scared and confused. I heard laughing. Then the kid's souls came into the room they were getting closer to me. I ran into a suit, it wasn't any suit it was the Springbonnie suit me and Henry created. I got inside. Then I felt something stab me, not once but multiple times in different places. It was the suit, I didn't tighten the spring locks. When I looked down I could see a pool of blood and heard laughing. I looked up to see the kids laughing, then they disappeared. Then I heard Glitchtrap's laughing. While I was in pain due to the suit he was just laughing? I tried to scream for help from him but he ignored me and kept laughing. I thought of Micheal. Then everything blacked out.
