He feels bad.
How things turned out the way they did. Being trapped inside the PizzaPlex. He's truly grateful for the help Freddy has given him.
Truly a father.
"Hey..Freddy" Gregory said.
"Yes, Superstar?" Freddy replied.
"Thank you for everything" Gregory was smiling.
Freddy couldn't see it. They were gonna end everything. No more missing children incidents, no more bloodshed, no one was gonna get hurt anymore.
They were gonna be happy.
Traveling to go beneath the Pizza Plex. Gregory can see through Freddy's eyes. What the hell was this thing?
"I know what this is. I've been down here before. She brought me down here. I found myself for the first time when I cleared the path. I did not want to, but I had no choice. Now, I have a choice. I have changed. My friends are here. They are so angry.. confused..but I can protect you"
Gregory didn't understand. What was Freddy trying to say to him?
What was going on?
"Freddy..?" Gregory called out.
Freddy took a step, and fell through the piles of wood. Gregory can feel his head pounding, and hands hurt.
Gregory got out of the stomach hatch, dizzy.
"Gregory, Are you alright?" Freddy asked.
"I'm okay..What about you Freddy?" He asked.
"I'm fine. No damage seems to be done to me" Freddy responded.
Gregory looked around. It was dirty, the smell of rotten meat, the blood, and mold. It filled his nose. He didn't wanna be here.
"Freddy..What is this place?" Gregory questioned.
"Honestly Superstar. I have no idea..It seems abandoned. I had no idea such a place was beneath my home" Freddy said.
A place that seemed like hell to someone. What if someone was living down here?
A small tv caught his attention. Gregory approached it, was it on this whole time?
He was staring at the button in front of it. A fire starter? Why would anyone make that?
He looked up at the TV. And His eyes widened. He inhaled a sharp breath.
He could've swore that the TV was static. So Why was there this fascinating glitching purple on it?
It didn't seem safe. Gregory wants to look away from it. He hears a chuckle from it, dark and chilling.
(Did you really think you could ever escape me, Chris?)
That's not his name..Who the hell did this man think he was?
(Chris.. Don't you recognize dear old dad?)
"Who are you?" Gregory asked.
(Really ashame. I've come to protect you son. Those animatronics have been hunting you almost all night, Right? You'll be safe from now on)
"How..?" How does this man know that.
(Dear old dad just wants his only child still alive, and safe to come back to him)
"I'm not your kid.." Gregory said.
(Chris..Come on. You don't wanna make your old man cry, Do you? After all the trouble I went through just to make sure you're safe)
"I'm..My name is Gregory" He can feel his eyes burn..Was it the tears or..?
(You really think Freddy will keep you safe? Wasn't he ready to give to Security Guard Vanessa? Where was he when Vanny was trying to get to you and nearly died)
"He's trying his best..I'm trying my best"
(Come on Chris.. Elizabeth and Michael want to see their sibling. Your mom wants to see her son again)
"My Family..?" Gregory hestiately asked.
(We'll finally be a happy family. Don't worry son, I'll help you come back home.)
"Gregory!" Freddy had placed his hand on Gregory's shoulder.
He just now noticed that Gregory was staring at the TV screen. Like he was captivated by it.
"Superstar..You need to hide. Roxy is coming" Freddy said.
Gregory turned to look at him. Freddy now staring at purple.. glitching. There was no brightness in them.
Just a sad look. With sad eyes.
"Gregory..?" Freddy retracted his hand.
"Freddy..You care more about your friends. You always asked about where I got the parts from..What about me..Did my well being not matter?" It was monotoned.
Not the same little voice that would ask for directions on what to do.
"Gregory..Of course I care about you" Freddy replied.
"Really..I'm sure Bonnie would beg to differ. Where were you when that night..he was begging for help.. Begging to hold you. Must of been nice, Sleeping peacefully"
"Gregory.. What's going on with you?"
"Did you really think that I was just a normal kid? I had you fooled from the start" A chuckle erupted from his throat.
"I don't understand.. Gregory..?" He was horrified.
"Freddy..Why don't you smile? After all it's no fun if there's no happiness" Gregory had an evil grin.
"It's not.. This isn't fun Gregory.." Freddy said.
"It's about to be fun. Well for me..Not for you two" Who was this?
"Freddy.." That was Gregory's voice. But It was still a mix of the heavy and deep.
The boy had his fists in tight balls. He was crying, as his legs were trying their best not to give out.
But..The difference. One of his eyes was still purple..His normal eye was crying the warm water, while the other was spilling oil.
"Gregory.." He wanted to hug the poor child.
"Freddy..Please.." His whole body was shaking,and breathing heavy.
"What is it, Superstar?" Freddy asked.
His lip is trembling. He thinks it's selfish..but even if it's selfish, he'll be it.
"Kill me, Please." Gregory stated.
"W.. What?" Freddy must have misheard him.
"Freddy..Please. I'm begging you.. It's too much to bear..I hate him" Gregory gritted out.
"Gregory..You can't be serious" Freddy said.
"I won't let you die!" The angry voice that was that man.
"Freddy..Please. My heart really wants to cry.." Gregory said.
Freddy had tears falling. Was he always able to cry..?
"Please.. Gregory.. Don't go away" Freddy said.
"I'm glad you know..? I was left behind and rebuilt..I had no one, No family. Please don't be upset. Plus..You have to be the superstar" Gregory stated.
"I don't wanna leave you behind," Freddy stated.
"Is it really being left behind if I request to be left? Even though..I wished this wasn't how we said goodbye" Gregory smiled.
"We don't have to say goodbye!" Freddy yelled.
"I have to go..This is goodbye. Way to go, Superstar" Gregory said.
Gregory had lifted Freddy's hand to his throat, the tears overwhelming their vision. Freddy really didn't wanna do it..But he hears the plunge.
The claws that Gregory upgraded onto Freddy digging into his throat. Freddy couldn't look, he hates it. His own heart wants to cry.
And He screams out. Gregory's body had flipped over. Freddy tightly gripping his own head.
Gregory's blood on his hand. His pleading is already playing constantly in Freddy's head.
He's let down Bonnie, and now Gregory.
"I'm sorry..I'm so sorry Chris. I should've been better. I caused this..again" He should've done everything better.
He should've said something to Chris. Yet, His own greed.of finally being reunited clouded his mind.
Curse his father. He couldn't let anyone be happy..Not his own children..
"I JUST DON'T WANNA BE ON MY OWN?! I LOVE YOU DAMMIT. I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO GO..NOT LIKE BEFORE" He hates it.
The endless crying. That he's finally been able to get over it. The same crying he always made fun of that would come from his younger brother.
He places his bloody hand on Gregory's head. He died..all because of him.
He closed his eyes. He couldn't bear to look at his eyes. He also took off his faz-watch, there was a message but it was never sent.
New Message-
You made me the happiest than I have been in a few years. I'm glad you're back Michael. I love you, I hope we can be a family again. Maybe..This time..There will be no death.
He knew..He knew that He was inside Freddy. Why didn't he say anything sooner.
There was death. It followed them no matter where they are, or who they were. It cursed them..He blames his father..He hates him.
He wants to die.
