Chapter Two: Oh Hell No
A/N: Oh gosh. Sorry for being late XD The plot bunnies mysteriously disappeared
Anyway, enjoy the chappie!
"SURPRIZE!"
Will jumped backward, avoiding the strange creature jumping at him.
"Whaugh! Don't do that, dammit!" He yelled.
"And why shouldn't I?" The creature said, revealing that he was male.
"Uh..."
He shrugged. "Because it's dangerous?"
"And why would it be dangerous?"
"Because I could have a knife? Not that I do..."
The creature looked at him. "Uh-huh. You don't look like you could even try to hurt something."
Will growled. "WELL I COULD DAMMIT."
He snicked. "Uh-huh. Yeah. You keep tellin' yourself that."
"SHUT UP."
The creature stuck its tongue out. "Nevah!" It then melted back into ink, which...disappeared?! What?!
Will shook his head. "Stupid thing is messing with me...Arceus, I hate this place."
He walked out, looking behind him to make sure that he wasn't following him.
When he got to the hallway, he was greeted by another cardboard figure.
"Weren't you over there?" He asked it.
It didn't answer, being a cardboard figure, but it did sit there.
He shrugged, and walked away.
When he looked back, it was back where it had been.
Suddenly, he heard a loud crash.
He jumped, whirling around to stare behind him.
Nothing.
Must be imagining things.
He turned around again, and kept walking.
He came across a room.
It was filled with instruments and empty seats.
Guess they would need some. It is an animation studio, after all.
He walked out.
A few seconds later, he poked his head back in.
I could swear something just moved.
There was a cardboard cutout sitting in one of the seats.
That definitely wasn't there before.
Just to experiment, he walked away from the room, and then back.
Another cardboard cutout had mysteriously appeared.
He stared at it.
"What. Why are all these cardboard cutouts randomly appearing?"
He tilted his head slightly.
"It's weird..."
Hearing a strange sound (almost like a pokemon cry, he thought), he looked up.
Then he ran out of the room.
Will stopped in a hallway, glancing around for any sign of the figure he'd seen in the room filled with instruments.
What was that?! It almost looked like that creature...but not really. Looked more like a human and a demon got crossed together...
He looked at the hall.
It was a dead end, and had broken shelves on the walls.
At the end of the hall was a machine with the word "Flow" on it.
There was also a human figure.
Wait, what?
He carefully approached them, and they turned around.
"Oh, it's you again. The strange teenager...you really should go home, you know." Henry said, staring at Will.
"I would if I knew how."
"You go out the exit."
Will stared at him. "And where, exactly, is that?"
Henry was silent for a moment. "...I don't know." He admitted.
"Exactly."
Will turned and left.
After that, he wandered around, completely lost.
Soon enough, he found himself in an inky hallway.
Wonder why it's so inky.
He heard a noise, and turned around.
There was a loud shriek from down the hall.
And then he started running again.
After getting himself away from there, he wandered around some more.
Seems like all I ever do here is wander. Guess it can't be helped.
There was a rustling sound.
He turned around. "Show yourself!"
The creature from earlier materialized. "Ya got me. Whaddya want?"
Will blinked, making sure his eyes weren't playing tricks on him. "How do you do that?!"
The creature shrugged. "I just can. Say, I never introduced myself, did I?"
Will shook his head, wondering where this was going.
"Well, my name's Bendy. I don't think I heard yours..."
"My name's Will."
Bendy nodded. "I best be off." He disappeared back into the floor.
Will stared at the puddle of ink for a while, before shrugging and walking off.
At least I know his name now.
Will wandered through the various rooms.
Eventually I'll have to come across the exit.
He passed a puddle of ink.
There was a slight squelching sound.
He turned...
...and nearly got hit in the face with a human-like puddle of ink.
What the hell is this thing?
The human-puddle thing made a sort of groan, and lunged again.
And then the various puddles around the room started sprouting more of the human-puddles.
Well, shit.
He ran into a wall.
"Ow."
Checking behind him, he glanced around the room, looking for puddles of ink.
Looks like I lost them. What were they, anyway?
He looked at the room more closely.
There was a switch that said "pump control", and a desk to the right of the room that had a radio and some papers on it.
There was also writing on the wall that read, "iT'S TIME TO BELIEVE".
He checked the radio, looking at it to see if it was broken.
Seems like it still works. Wonder if it plays anything...
He tried turning it on.
Surprisingly, it had a song on it. It was fairly catchy, and the vocals sounded somewhat familiar.
He turned it off again, and turned to the papers on the desk.
They look like blueprints of some kind...for some kind of machine, I'd bet, He thought, reading the papers. Huh. It is for a machine. Says here...the second ink machine? Why would they need a second one?
He shook his head. No point wondering about it all day.
He walked over to the switch, and stared at it.
After a few minutes, he flipped it.
He wandered out of the room a few minutes after that, wondering why he'd even flipped the switch.
Didn't seem to do anything, though. Wonder what it's for, besides sitting there.
He noticed a rustling sound behind him, and turned.
A very large shadow fell over him as he stared up at the monstrous demon in front of him.
A/N: and scene!
Will seems to be having trouble figuring things out.
The radio was playing "Build Our Machine" like it does in the game, by the way.
Bendy gets revealed, and the Searchers attempt to kill off Will.
Oh yeah, and Henry (the slight-bit-of-a-jerk).
Til next time.
