Tainted Lies (Gregvan / Gregory X Evan)

"Direct Source.."(10)

Gregory's POV- 

It feels weird knowing I was right about something being off about the bear. 

It also means Evan had lied to me. I already knew there was something going on though. A lot of things aren't right here.. 

I sigh as I make my way to the back exit.

It seems some things I'm going to have to figure out on my own. 

I stare at the back door. Hesitating for a moment. This may not be a good idea. I open the door and walk to the old location. The buildings poor condition more visible in the daylight. 

I almost reconsider. This place could very well be dangerous.. Even if there's nothing here, the building isn't stable, and could easily collapse.  

I push though the door. This place is crusty. 

The sounds of voices fill my ears upon entering. Who would be here? This place is so run-down. 

I follow the sound. 

The voices come from the Parts And Service room. Is this another secret? Or something else. 

I can't help but notice this is the second time I've attempted to eavesdrop today. Here's to hoping I don't get caught a second time though. 

Except that thought was cut short when a figure burst through the door, nearly slamming me in the face with it.

Caught.. Again.

I was more focused on the fact the the creature that barged through the door looked.. Strange.

Mostly humanoid, except for black scaled wings and eyes that seemed to be consumed by a black sclera with crimson red pupils. Slightly transparent, too. 

They looked at me, surprised for several moments.   

"You're..?" They stammered, turning around to a figure behind them. This one is more transparent, with brown hair and a glowing green bracelet. Her eyes the same pool of darkness, with glowing white pupils, instead of fiery red ones. 

"What's an alive boy doing here?" The red eyed one asked, sparing a glance back at me. 

They were bleeding severely. 

I managed to mutter a word, "What?.."

"There is no need to worry," The one with the green bracelet reassured. She stopped hovering as her feet gently touched the ground. She was hovering too.. Am I going crazy?

"I'm Charlie, this is Cassidy. We mean no harm."

Cassidy scoffed. 

"What's an alive boy doing here?" Cassidy repeated sternly, directing the question towards me this time. 

"W-Well.." I mumbled. Evan wouldn't know something about this, right? Two supposedly 'dead' people.. "I was looking around.."

"What made you stupid enough to look here?" Cassidy asked harshly. 

Charlie frowned. 

"Well.. A friend had brought me here at one point-"

Cassidy interrupts me, "Who?"

"What?"

"Whos your 'friend'?" Cassidy demands.

"His name is Evan,"

Cassidy and Charlie turn to each other. 

"What's Evan doing with an alive boy?" Cassidy asks, Charlie looks a little stunned, but shrugs. 

"What do you mean by that?" I ask. Its clear that they know him.. But why do they know him? 

Cassidy rolls their.. Eyes?.. "He's just like the rest of them. A liar. I was right, again. Evan is a bitc-"

Cassidy's statement was cut off when Charlie put a hand over Cassidy's mouth.  

Goldie had called him a liar too.. 

"Sorry about them. There's no need to worry," Charlie gave an alleviating smile, but it didn't help me feel any better.. After all, I was talking to dead people. 

"What do they mean by that?" I ask Charlie.

Charlie sighs, "If you don't know, it should come from Evan, not us." 

I wonder if this ties everything else.. The bears, the disk.. Everything else.

Charlie slowly removes her hand from Cassidy's mouth. 

"Good luck getting a truthful answer." Cassidy chides. 

"Nevermind them. What's your name?" Charlie asks.

"Gregory," 

"Alright Gregory.. You be careful. And don't come back here. Its not safe here." Charlie says, slowly pushing me towards the door. 

I walk out the door, without needing any guidance from Charlie. I wanted out of there. 

That confirms it.. There's something bigger. Something I need to learn about from Evan directly. It has something to do with the disk.. I think. I guess there's only one thing left to do..

Talk to Evan directly.
