Fredbear's Pov:

I inserted the VHS tape containing the recordings from July 8th to the 30th. Inserting the tape, I noticed that I needed to rewind the tape. Someone had watched the tape but didn't rewind it?

I let the tape rewind as I heard the noise coming from the VHS player. I looked around me to see how the others were able to keep the underground warehouse intact after I almost burnt it down.

"Why am I so stupid..." I mumbled as I sat down on the cold concrete floor. I just want to know what happened in the last 3 weeks that I lost my memory and move on...

No Springtrap, no family, and no help...
It's been like that from the very beggining. I blame myself for a lot of things that have happened that do end being my fault.

At this point...
All I have left is-
"Gold!" I heard someone yell my name. I knew the voice all too well and I wish I could just be alone right now...

I turned around to see him running in my direction. He was never a fast runner and i've noticed that as we went walking in the mornings. "Gold! huff I need to tell puff you-" he said clearly out of breath before I interrupted him.

"Just shut up. The less I hear you, the better." I answered coldly waiting for the tape to finish rewinding. "Freddy huff I think he's the one that huff erased our memories..." he huffed again before collapsing on the ground.

I quickly caught him before he could fall to the floor. "What." I asked strictly not believing what he was saying was true. He caught his breath before looking up at me.

"Freddy almost choked me before he let me go. He said something about not telling you anything." he said before I let go and let him drop to the floor.

"And why should I believe you." I said standing up from my position on the floor. "Gold I-...Listen...I know i've treated you like shit this whole time and I don't expect us to ever be on good terms again but please just...trust me, ok?" he said sitting on the floor.

Trust him...
But why?
Why should I trust him after everything he's done...
All my life i've never trusted anybody and i've gotten far....
"Gold...Please. Trust me. I know we got into this whole mess because we were both unsure about each other, but trust me just this once..." he said getting up and standing close to me.

"No...I can't." I mumbled out facing away from him. I can't trust him...
He's made me feel like shit this whole time and nothing has ever gone right with him.

"...Fine then, but just know that i'll be here waiting for you. I'm going to try and find my memories on my own...Hopefully you find your own." he said before leaving the warehouse.

Did Freddy really erase our memories... I wouldn't think he would do that but-

Before I could even finish my thought, I heard the tape stop rewinding as it was back at the beggining. I walked closer to it and hesitantly pressed the play button.

Tape Start:

"What are you doing here..." I grumbled looking at the rabbit who was sitting on the table across from me. He was fidgeting with his fingers and he had his head turned away to the side.

"I...I want to apologize about earlier." he responded still keeping his head away from me. "Really now? Or is this another one of your tricks to make a fool out of me again" I growled holding my eyepatch.

"What?! No! I-...fuck i'm bad with these..." I heard him mumble which make me smirk a bit. Seeing him act like this was something somewhat comforting...

He seemed to realize I was smirking at his behavior because he tried to shuffle himself in a better position. "W-what are you smiling at?!" he remarked as he was clearly flustered.

I coughed. "Nothing." I said giving him a careless expression and crossing my arms. He just sighed. "Look, I was acting reckless and I was being extremely petty. I'll admit I was even acting really childish too because I honestly was..." he said before resting his head on the table.

I looked at him and even though I could let him take the blame, I did also have some fault in it. I eased up and let my arms come loose and I grabbed my hands into his and saw as he flinched.

"I also want to apologize..." I said struggling to find a response. "I can see why you wouldn't like me anymore if I didn't even trust you..." I said as Spring lifted his face up to see me.

"So do we both admit that we both fucked up?" he asked and I nodded.
"I fucked up"
"You fucked up" Spring said at the same time that I said mine.

"What?" I asked and Spring gave a light chuckle before waving away his hand. "I'm joking! Yeah I do think that I fucked up as well and I would...like to start over?" Spring said.

I was somewhat happy that we could get back on good terms, but...could I really trust him?
"Hey Fredbear, I've realized you have trust issues and I don't expect you to accept me and trust me so quickly, but...maybe I can help you get better." he said and I was contemplating it for a bit...

"Springt̴͕͖͓̀r̶̷̲͍̭͐̾̀͟ă̶̸̝ͦ͊̿͋͞p̶̸̨̺͊̍̒̓̀, I̶̴̗̗̦͍ͨͭ̉͢͟..."

Tape End:

I saw as the tape started malfunctioning and I stepped back as the TV blacked out and the VHS player started to make weird noises. I stepped a good distance away before it suddenly stopped...

"What just happened?" I asked myself wanting to know what I had said in the tape. I stepped closer and tried taking a close look at the VHS player but realized that the magnetic tape inside must have been jammed in the system...

"How does a VHS break so easily?" I asked myself and I saw that the VHS and VHS Player were both basically broken at this point.

I sighed defeated that i'm never going to figure out what happened with my memories or who even did it. I could trust Spring, but...I don't know if i'm doing the right choice...

I...
I need help.

This whole time i've been pushing everyone away and yet I wonder why no one helps me...

Yet, Springtrap is still giving me a chance despite pushing him away multiple times. I can't tell wether he came back out of desperation or just genuinely wanting to help me...

Why can't I ever make up my mind...
I sighed and looked at the VHS player. "My only solution to finding out what happened these last couple of weeks is gone." I said stepping away.

Maybe...
Maybe it's time I truly trusted someone...
I started to walk out of the underground warehouse. I looked one more time at the place before locking the door and making my way back...

I want to trust Springtrap, but I can't imagine Freddy doing something like this. Freddy had always been my brother and he would always be by my side when we were little...

"GOLD!!!!" I heard somebody yell as it caused me to flinch. I heard it come from inside the restaurant. The voice sounded familiar but I couldn't tell who it was.

As soon as I heard it, I started rushing towards the pizzeria hoping that whoever screamed wasn't hurt.

Rushing into the pizzeria, I heard clatter of metal in the kitchen. Making my way inside, I found Freddy hunched over while Springtrap sat shocked on the ground.

I looked back at Freddy who had a scratch on his neck that oozed out a black inky substance mixing with blood.

Freddy noticed I was there and he cried out to me. "Gold! Help me! Springtrap hurt me and I-" he said before falling onto the ground. I looked at Springtrap who was looked suprised himself.

"You're a psycho...." Springtrap huffed out shocked as he lifted his paw to show his claw covered with blood. "What the hell happened here?!" I yelled out making both of them flinch.

"He's dangerous Gold! He scratched my neck badly..." Freddy said looking weak.

I turned over to Springtrap who pushed himself back towards the wall before looking at Freddy again wide eyed. "You're actually sick..." he said again as I was having hard time believing them.

"Gold..." Freddy asked as he saw that I was closing to losing it. I had to decide wether my brother erased my memories or that Springtrap is a dangerous person and possibly sending him to jail.

"Who am I suppose to believe..." I mumbled out not knowing what to do. The two looked at me.

"He's hurting our family Gold-" Freddy started yelling before Spring interrupted him. "You never had a good family to begin with...or am I wrong..." Springtrap said causing me and Freddy to look at him.

I was shocked at how he was able to guess something only me and Foxy knew. "If what Freddy told me was true, then I do remember one thing that happened..." he said looking at Freddy and then to me.

"Gold told me that he tries to keep this place running for Freddy, but he clearly doesn't like it or enjoy it..." Springtrap kept explaining which confused me on how he would know something like that.

Freddy looked at me and I looked at him. It was clear now that Freddy had been acting since he was not as hurt as he yelled out to be.

"Gold...you're not ok. As much as i've hurt you, I genuinely want to make it up to you, but that's only if you want me to be a part of that." Springtrap said as I was close to crying.

"I...I'll think about it..." I said still unsure. Though, Springtrap still gave me a smile before we both turned to Freddy.

"Freddy. I'm going to ask you this once and once only. What the hell did you do." I said coldly as Freddy flinched at my words.

"What did I do?! Are you going to believe him rather than me right no-"

"Yes I am. Spring clearly cared about me while all you can do is try to make me choose someone!" I screamed out at him.

"I'm here to ask you one thing and I want you to answer me honestly Freddy. Did you or did you not erase me and Spring's memories." I said to as Freddy hesitated to speak.

"I...Fine. I did erase your memories with him. But it was because you two were together and he was going to try and take you somewhere. I didn't want him to hurt you again." He said pointing at him.

My own brother...
One of the only people who I trusted...
Erased my memories and lied to me this whole time just to get Springtrap out of my life...

"Did you even bother to ask me how I felt. Did you bother to ask me what I wanted. Did you even bother to let things play out." I told him enraged at what he did.

"No, but I didn't want him to hurt our good family-" He tried justifying before I let it slip out. "WE NEVER HAD A GOOD FAMILY!" I yelled causing him to shut up.

"I never told you this Freddy, but our family was NEVER perfect. Mom and Dad hate me and they treat me horrible when you're not around! I never wanted to tell you this, but if you're going to interfere with MY life and take away things I WANT because you are living a lie, then i've kept the truth away from you for too long..." I said before walking over to Springtrap.

I crouched down to where he was sitting on the floor. "Hey Spring, I trust you, ok? I don't care about my memories that much anymore. Let's just leave, ok?" I said before Springtrap shook his head.

"We can't...Freddy...he's going to die." He said before my eyes widened. "What?" I asked before he raised his hand once more showing the blood on his claws.

"What's wrong? It's just a scratch, right?" I asked looking at Freddy who was sitting on the chair trying to think about what I had just told him.

"Spring. Please just tell me it's a scratch." I said in a more panicked way than i'd liked to. "Gold...There's something I haven't told anybody..." he said looking at his hand once more.
