The Soul Speaker (Five Night at Freddy's)

25) Revealed

Gregory POV

Me and Jazz stays in a hugging position for a good amount of time. I really don't feel like letting go and get out of this dusty storage room, which once belonged to that weird rabbit lady Vanny. I am so glad she isn't here anymore... But I wonder where the Princess Quest 3 gaming machine went to. I played the first two, but didn't manage to play the third game, because the door where shut closed.

''Alright.'' Chirped Jazz up and let go of the hug to look down at me. ''Shall we go now and tell the animatronics? Their rehersal should be done by now.''

''Okay.'' I mumble with a small snif. Jazz stand up first, then reach her hand out to help me up. We go towards the door, when I slightly stopped walking and look back to the room.

''What is the matter?'' Ask Jazz curious.

''Do you know where the third game of Princess Quest is?'' I ask, actually wanna know so I can save the golden princess.

''A third game? I didn't know there was a third game of Princess Quest.'' Says Jazz honest, surprising me.

''Huh? But I swear I saw a Princess Quest 3 in this room, by the time Vanny used this as her hideout.'' I inform her, pointing at the corner I last saw it.

''Really?'' Ask Jazz shocked. I nodded, showing her I am telling the truth. ''Well... I have found and already fixing the three game machines that were hidden for some reason. Balloon Boy World and Princess Quest 1 and 2.''

''Where could it be?'' I ask to myself, but also for Jazz to hear.

''Don't know bud, but I will ask Simon and the crew to inform me, when they find that game machine.'' Suggest Jazz and lead the way to the catwalk, so we can get down from here. ''For now, let's go see the others. Freddy is actually worried for you. He really is the ideal big brother for you.''

''Really? I never thought of that.'' I admit as we go down the spiral staircase. But that made me think of our time together and the way he speaks and act towards me. ''I first thought he was my best friend... But now that I think about it, does he really act like a big brother to me.''

''It wouldn't be a surprise that he wants to be your big brother, Gregory.'' Point out Jazz as we enter the back room of the maze with all the machines. Jazz then reach her hand out to me and I take it, as we walk through the maze together.

*Time skip*

Jazz POV

Me and Gregory walk in silent, hand in hand, towards the backstage where the animatronics should be at the moment. I feel relieved that I don't have to keep it a secret anymore for Gregory... Well, a troubled secret... Now Gregory is almost back to normal. I know that it will take a few days before he is completely back to his usual self, but who wouldn't. Suddenly being told you are not real, but a robot, must be hard to take in.

''Are you ready?'' I ask Gregory, right before we enter the backstage. I see Gregory hesitate, which is fine, so I look inside the backstage to be sure only the animatronics where inside and no other employees. Luckily it is only them, with Simon. I look back to Gregory, with a comforting smile. ''It is only the animatronics and Simon. And I will turn off the security camera's, so the secret will be secured from unwanted attention.'' 

''Okay... Okay.'' Mumble Gregory and take deep breaths to be more ready. I smile calmly and kneel down to his height. 

''Want me to explain the situation? It is completely understandable.'' I offer him to make him feel more comfortable.

''Yes please...'' Mumble Gregory and look down. I just keep smiling and lift his chin up to look at me.

''No problem, Gregory. I don't mind.'' I ensure him and stand up again, then reach my hand out to him. He takes it and follow me inside.

''There you are.'' Cheered Freddy right away, looking relieved that Gregory is alright. We walk straight to them and Freddy lift Gregory up and give him a 'warm' hug. ''I was getting worried.'' But when Freddy pull back to see Gregory, while still having him in his arms, did he see the small frown Gregory has. ''What is wrong Superstar?''

''Yeah, what is the matter lil guy?'' Ask Monty.

''I will talk for him.'' I chirped, making sure the attention is away from Gregory for a moment. I then mention for everyone to the farthest corner of the room, where the prepared stage is ready, and take a seat on it. Freddy let Gregory down to sit on it as well. ''What I am about to say, must be a secret, so record it to your most secured mainframe.''

''Really?'' Ask Chica confused. I only nodded as my answer. I see the animatronics eyes blink, indicating they did as told. I place a comforting hand on Gregory's shoulder and give him a comforting smile.

''This is hard to explain... cause it is really complicated, but... Gregory here sadly aren't a real human boy, but a endoskeleton with human like shell.'' I speak out right away. It is really hard to find the right words, so might as well say it straight. The animatronics flinched at my words, but I didn't let them say a word. ''It is true. And here is the confirmation. When I look at Freddy's memory files from the night Gregory was 'trapped' in here, does he say specific sentence which caught my attention to investigate the matter... 'I feel you are broken' was a comment while trying to escape the Pizza Plex before 12 and when Freddy got Roxy's eye upgrade, giving him the ability to see through walls and all, he said to Gregory,  'You look different to me'. Those sentence made me start investigating what he was talking about and, by accident, I found the truth. I found the entrance to Gregory's endoskeletons mainframe, and looked through it's recorded memory. Gregory has been here at the Pizza Plex at the very beginning. Hidden underground as he evolved knowledge about himself... And when I am saying that, do I talk about the fact, that Gregory is also a spirit. A trapped child spirit in this endoskeleton. He don't recall his previous life or how he even become an endoskeleton... But I want, I wish, that you all don't look at Gregory any other way than you always have. He is still the Gregory you know from the moment you saw him. And for some days now, please understand that Gregory might want some time for himself. All of this is hard to take in for the little guy.''

''Oh, Gregory.'' Mumble Freddy with sadden look.

''Don't ya worry lad.'' Says Foxy to cheer Gregory up. ''Ye a proud member of our group. Nothing will change that.''

''I agree with Foxy.'' Says Roxy and swing an arm around the fox animatronic. ''Being an endoskeleton will just make you even more part of us.''

''Maybe we can say you now officially are a Glamrock.'' Says Chica excited. All these comments are making Gregory slowly look up with teary eyes.

''You are our little wingman.'' Says Bonnie and clap Gregory on his back, carefully. ''You are always there to make sure our stuff is ready. And we won't want any one else to do your job.''

''And we already see you as a little brother, but now it is convenient.'' Try Chica, but accidently made it sound weird. But we know she doesn't mean it in a bad way. Gregory laugh a little and dry away some tear.

''Thank you guys *Sniff*... Love you too.'' Sniff Gregory and defiantly feel much better now. I give him another side hug and sneakily look at Simon. He just gave a shrug, but also gave back a look with a message.

''You need to tell the entire story one day.'' Message Simon to me and I just slightly nodded to agree with him. I know deep down that I would have to tell Gregory, and maybe the animatronics, about the dark side of the Freddy Fazbear Entertainment and all the Fazbear Pizzeria that have existed.
