Hey y'all, Icy here! Welcome to Before the Nightmare! This story is a prequel to my last story, Springlocked Nightmare. If you don't like what I write, then don't read it! Also, it might hit the feels. Anyways, let get into this!

Fredbear walked the halls of the pizzeria, looking around. It was night, but the animatronics decided to take a break from scaring Mike, who was asleep in the office. Fredbear was walking the halls of the basement, thinking of nothing but the peacefulness around him. That is, until his eyes landed on something that made his heart start aching.

The object was a small clay tablet, which contained the impressions of two tiny rabbit feet. His sister's feet. He carefully picked it up and looked at it, tears welling in his red and white eyes. He wasn't sure why, but he had learned that she was stillborn, possibly due to some sort of stress his mother had been under at the time. The doctor had taken her and made the tablet that Fredbear now held for them to remember her by.

"Springmare..." Fredbear said, frowning. He put the tablet back down, turned around, and went back up to the dining area of the pizzeria. "Father. I want answers." A black bear animatronic that had been looking out the window sighed, his ears drooping. "You're right. It's time you heard the full story of why your sister was stillborn..." said Nightmare, taking a seat as Fredbear did the same. "The cause wasn't just stress... it was a bear named Freddy Fazbear..." Fredbear growled at the name. He knew it well. That very bear had been harassing his family for years.

Nightmare noticed this. "He caused your mother's stress, which in turn caused your sister to be stillborn." Fredbear's hands clenched into fists. "How?" he asked, wanting to know. Nightmare frowned, a sad look in his eyes. "He kidnapped your mother and tied him up. Then he... he..." "He what!?" "... he raped him..." Fredbear's eyes widened, and he stood up. "I won't let that happen!" he said, turning and heading to the doors. "Where are you going!?" asked Nightmare, stunned by his son's actions. Fredbear stopped, but didn't turn around.

"... I'm going to the past. I'm going to stop Fazbear once and for all! And I'm going to save my sister!" With that, he left.

Yay, first chapter! Sorry that it's so short, but just think of it as a sort of prologue. Anyways, Fredbear is pissed as hell!

Until next time, Icy is out!
