Tainted Lies (Gregvan / Gregory X Evan)

"Forming Feelings.."(8)

Gregory's POV-

Eventually, Michael and Elizabeth get back. Which is kind of a blessing..? I didn't really have much to say, so I was just staring at Evan. I might have made him confused or anxious because he buried his face in his knees. Which was adorable, and definitely is not helping my situation. 

My situation being the fact I'm almost certain I'm forming a crush on Evan. 

I can't believe I just admitted that to myself. 

I know almost nothing about him. And almost everything I do know doesn't seem right. I also just met him yesterday.. 

Regardless, Michael and Elizabeth got back and Evan seemed to calm down a bit. I feel bad for making him anxious. His mood did change rather quickly though. 

"What did you guys do?" Elizabeth asked, looking skeptical. 

"Nothing," I replied, she continued eyeing us for a moment before shrugging her shoulders and her expression went back to its usual cheery state. 

Michael patted me and Evan's head. I had never really gotten attention before from a human, so it felt weird. It didn't feel bad though, I just wasn't used to it. Evan on the other hand, looked uninterested and almost annoyed at the gesture. 

Michael checked his watch for the time and sighed. I wonder what he's waiting for.

"What time do you go to sleep?" Michael asks me. 

"I don't have a time. Whenever, really." I shrug. Is he waiting for me to go to sleep? Why?

"Hmm," Michael hums. I'm sure he already has some assumptions about me.. I am kind of living in his building. "Just wondering. You seem rather young to be here alone."

"I guess so," I had spent the last several years of my life alone. I have Freddy now though. Or I have for the last week or so at least-

Elizabeth looked confused. 

"I might head off though, its getting late." I say, I should probably talk with Freddy about the few new things I've learned today. 

"Alright, I will likely be gone by the time you wake up. So good-bye." Michael says. Elizabeth waves as Michael says bye. 

I wave back. 

"Goodnight..?" Evan asks more than says, as if he was unsure if that was something people actually said. 

"Goodnight," I walk off. 

Evan's POV-

We exit through the back to go to the old location. The ground is visible because of a flashlight Michael was shinning. 

We walk into the old location. Having to push the door open because the handle fell off last time I was here. 

I could tell from the aura that the room was putting off that some of the missing kids were here. Not all of them though. Two. 

"Are they here?" Michael whispered to me as we stepped inside. 

"Two of them," I muttered.

Elizabeth's eyes lit up.

"Charlie?" She quietly asked me. 

"Charlie and Cassidy."

Eli shook her hands in excitement, Michael looked a little concerned. 

Suddenly, Cassidy appeared in front of us.  

"Evan? Tell this coward that she's wrong." Cassidy says with a bitter tone, motioning her thumb towards the Parts And Service room. 

Charlie exited the door, shaking her head. 

"All I'm saying is, there is no need to keep trying to put William back in hell. He'll escape again anyway, and its been decades, just move on." Charlie says calmly. Cassidy looks pissed.

"So that's it? You want me to just forgive him, and pretend he didn't murder us?" Cassidy retorts. 

"I'm not telling you to forgive him, I'm just telling you to get over it." Charlie states, glancing at me, Michael, and Elizabeth. 

Elizabeth ran over to Charlie and hugged her. 

"Doesn't that sound stupid?" Cassidy asks me, probably playing on the fact I still had a slight grudge against Michael.

"Don't involve me in this," I reply. Cassidy scoffs, muttering under her breath. 

Cassidy glances at Michael. Michael forces a smile. 

Cassidy rolls her eyes. Folding up her black wings. She doesn't have to wear and illusion disk. Lucky. 

Cassidy had become a demon when she began hosting Williams hell. Most of the other missing kids are just spirits, Gabriel, Jeremy, and Fritz. Susie is an angel. Charlie is a soul, which is very similar to spirits, except they are less connected to this world. 

"What are you guys doing here?" Charlie asks, letting go of Elizabeth. 

"Well, some incidents happened at one of the locations I own." Michael gestured out the door at the Pizza Plex. "So I sent Evan to try and help me fix it. I heard this place was still here though, so I wanted to come and see it."

"There is nothing to see here." Cassidy states, looking around at the destroyed surroundings. 

"Still. I haven't been here in a while." Michael replies. 

Gregory's POV-

"I learned a few more things," I say as I enter Freddy's room. 

"What else have you learned, superstar?" Freddy asks, patting a space on the couch next to him for me to sit with him. 

I sit down next to him. 

"I learned what the disks are called. Illusion disks. What do you think that means?" I ask. 

"Hmm," Freddy hums, "I am not sure."

"I met his siblings, Michael and Elizabeth. Michael is a lot older than both of them.. Like a twenty year age gap." I say. Not that there aren't siblings with large age gaps, I just feel like twenty years is oddly far off. "I asked Evan about his bears eyes moving and he denied it.. I'm almost certain he knows though."

"Perhaps there is something about the bear he does not want you to know." Freddy suggests. 

"Maybe.." I felt my face heat up at the thought of Evan.. God this is uncontrollable. 

"Anything else, superstar?" Freddy asks, a confused tone in his voice.

"No." I mumble, covering my face with my hands.

School sucks. I'm being flooded with mid-term exams at the moment, so it has been pretty hard to get out a chapter or even open the app. I'm trying to get at least a few chapters out this weekend before the school week. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Have a wonderful day/night!
