## Plot

It's been a year since the events of Five Nights at Freddy's: The Silver Eyes. The main character of the first book, Charlie, is attending St. Louis University, living on campus with Jessica. John also lives nearby doing some business as a construction worker after a huge storm destroying some parts of the town of hurricane, and Charlie starts dating him. while in a robotics lecture in Dr. Treadwall's lecture hall. Her friend, Arty, interrupts Charlie as she was daydreaming about her brother Sammy being abducted by Springtrap to ask for assistance with his course material in their class, as he's struggling to understand the concepts. Charlie agrees to tutor him and both Charlie and Arty leave to go study in the library after the class bell rang.

When Arty and Charlie end up arriving at the Library and start to review their notes Charlie notices that she's been subconsciously been drawing shaded rectangular vertical doors as she's reviewing her notes of Robotics to Arty and as she kept flipping each page there were even more vertical rectangles shaded onto the paper to the point where you couldn't even recognize if they were even notes anymore. Charlie feeling embarrassed decided to flee to her dorm while creating a Witty excuse for Arty.

One day Clay Burke comes to see Charlie, and brings her to see a corpse with familiar wounds. She confirms the wounds are those of a springlock failure. He also tells her a blood sample from William showed it was fake blood, and his body was never found. She later finds another body that looks a lot like her, and Clay lets her visit the victim's house. She finds three grave-sized holes in the backyard. She tries to keep this a secret, but eventually it slips to John and Jessica.

Charlie and Jessica go to Freddy's again, which has been half-obliterated by a hurricane in Hurricane. In a secret storage room they find William in the Spring Bonnie suit, completely lifeless. They pull him out to examine him, and then leave.

Charlie begins to have nightmares about Sammy, and his spirit draws her to her old house, to look for some sort of "door". She and John go there, and they find a secret room that was exposed by the storm. In it are three holes. In a mound of dirt from one of the holes they find Twisted Foxy, who tries to kill them. They beat him, and he changes appearance to a more normal Foxy. Charlie takes a piece out of him, that when turned on makes him look scarier. She realizes that the device disorients you via audio frequencies high enough to force hallucinations on the brain. Making you "fill in the blanks" with what you think you should be seeing. Charlie and John think Foxy is a monster, and see him as such, but kids would see a cartoony mascot. Another piece from inside him is inscribed with "Afton Robotics, LLC".

Charlie, John, and Jessica plot the homes of the victims and the spots they died on a map. They connect in a straight line that leads right to Charlie's dorm. They along with Clay go to the spot that the animatronics should attack next. At the spot they find three more holes, but they're filled with dirt. Charlie digs one up a bit, and uncovers the head of Twisted Freddy. She realizes the animatronics are burying themselves during the day so they don't get seen. Clay evacuates the area, but misses one house and the person living there gets killed by Twisted Wolf.

Charlie knows the robots are coming for her, so the next night she sneaks to the place they should show up next. She thinks they might have something to do with Sammy. Twisted Freddy finds her and captures her, and she ends up in a storage tank.

At daytime he buries himself, and Charlie ends up in an abandoned, destroyed restaurant. It looks similar to Freddy's, even having a poster of Freddy and Bonnie. She finds Balloon Boy, and thinks he's cute. But then she starts hallucinating a bunch of BB-like children chasing her and screaming. She hides in a storage closet, filled with new animatronics like a brown rabbit and an ape, along with severed human body parts.

John, Jessica, and Clay find her here. They accidentally let the Balloon Boys in. Clay shoots out one of the lights, and the BB-like hallucinations calm down. He shoots out a few others, and the illusion breaks, leaving just a bunch of BB animatronics.

William Afton reveals himself, having watched them the whole time, naming himself Springtrap. He outright says he controls the Twisted Ones and can see what they see. Once Charlie and Jessica set him free he had them bring Charlie here. Charlie asks why he took Sammy, to which he replies "I didn't take him. I took you". He also says he needs something from her. The abandoned diner starts to collapse, and Springtrap seemingly escapes, as he isn't mentioned after this. Sometime before the Springtrap encounter, the Withereds arrive at the abandoned diner and utterly destroy Twisted Bonnie and Twisted Wolf. As quickly as they came, they left. Twisted Freddy does not get destroyed.

Twisted Freddy comes back, and the gang runs from him. They go back out into the lights, and everything goes insane. Everything looks like a cave with spirits flying all over the place. Once the illusion breaks, she finds a secret door, believing it's what Sammy wanted her to find.

However, John knows that they whole place is about to collapse and she'll die if she opens the door. She steps away from it, and Twisted Freddy catches her. Twisted Freddy's head is torn off, but Charlie is captured inside, and suffers a Springlock failure in the Twisted One. Police officers force John and Jessica to leave. The last thing John sees is Aunt Jen, holding Charlie's lifeless arm.

John and Jessica meet Marla and Arty (a character introduced earlier) in a diner to tell them Charlie died. But then "Charlie" drives up to the diner, looking very strange. John and Arty share a grim look, and John says "that's not Charlie"
