Cadence looked at him suspiciously. Celestia was keeping a closer eye on him. Twilight finnaly calmed down and looked at him confused. "What do you mean Puppet?" She asked.

He turned his head to look at Luna and sighed. "Its not a pretty story, but alright. Before I was murdered I had a little brother named Joey. He was born different than everyone else. He has some sort of birth defect where he can't stop crying. I was always bullying him because of it. Then one day when we went to Fredbears Family Diner to set up for the party I." He trailed off and started shaking.

Twilight put a hoof on his leg encouragingly. "Then what happened?"

He took a deep breath. "I locked him in the spare parts room for two hours. He was always scared of the animatronics. I threatened him through the door that if he did tell I'd hurt him. The next day it was his birthday. Me and my friends had an idea to put him in Fredbears mouth. He was terrified, and we were laughing. Until Fredbear....bit down."

Everyone in the room had a hoof to there mouth in horror. "But that doesn't explain aunty Luna." Cadence pointed out after a couple minutes of silence.

He turned his head and looked at the golden bear in Lunas hooves. "For two years I had nightmares about the animatronics seeing them as some sort of horror movie. I never told my parents because they....wouldn't care since I killed my brother."

Celestia looked at him urgently. "So how do we help Luna?"

He looked down. "I was haunted with nightmares until the day I was murdered."

Everyone paled. Twilight started to hyperventilate. Cadence was shaking Luna trying to break her from the trance. Celestia looked down at the floor tears falling from her eyes.

The Puppet looked down in shame before his gaze rested on the golden bear. He floated over and grabbed the bear holding it in his three fingered hands. He looked at it closely in the eyes before he noticed a small piece of paper under his hat. Grabbing it he flipped it over reading the message. 

'Everyone who've known in this world will have an endless sleep filled with nightmares and they'll never wake up.'

He started shaking and dropped the bear. Twilight noticed this and walked over to him waiting behind him. "What's wrong?" She asked. He looked at her then at the paper in his hands.
