Note: Decided to just skip through Chapter 3 with this short chapter. Next one i'll start what I think might happen in Chapters 4 and possibly 5.
Chapter 2 -
Henry opened his eyes and slowly got up out of bed, noticing Boris wasn't in the hammock anymore.
Throughout the night, the two played at least 44 card games, ending in a tie. While they played, they ate some bacon soup as well. Henry wasn't sure if it was still good or way past it's expiration date, but he knew he probably wouldn't get the chance to eat again.
All the while, Sammy remained silent. He had finally calmed down and wasn't crying anymore but he still felt awful.
Eventually, Henry began to grow tired. He knew it was getting very late and by what he thought to be was 1 AM, had gone to bed. Sammy followed behind and managed to make himself a hammock to rest in.
By the time he woke up, it was roughly 10 or 11 AM.
Going out into the main area, he saw the lever for the door was gone. During the night, Sammy decided to try and pretend to be Boris so Henry wouldn't get suspicious.
"Hey buddy, have you seen the lever around? Or are you holding it hostage until I make you something to eat?" Henry asked and Sammy looked towards the stove. "Thought so. Let's see what we have."
After finding three cans of bacon soup, Henry made Boris a bowl. Once he got it, Sammy gave him the lever before eating.
"Stay close." Henry says as he and Boris left the safe house after Sammy had eaten.
They walked around for a bit and had to use a light to get around one area.
"Did you hear that?" Henry asks after hearing a noise.
'I wish I didn't.' Sammy thought to himself.
"Yeah me either." Henry added.
They walked into a room where a door proceeded to shut on them and trapped them inside.
"Another dead end. I don't see any other way through. Have any ideas, Boris?" Henry asked as Sammy walked up to a vent.
Sammy motioned to the light Henry had and then pointed to the vent. Understanding what he wanted, Henry handed the light to him and watched him crawl through.
'Only for you, Henry…' Sammy thought to himself as he crawled through the vent to open the door.
About 20 minutes later, Henry had walked through 'Heavenly Toys' and chose the angel path due to being cleaner. He met back up with Boris who gave him a pipe to use as a weapon.
Once they were together again, they headed to the lift and went down a few floors. Alice opened the next door for them and Sammy rushed inside.
'That sounded like Susie's Alice…' Sammy thought then came to a sudden halt inside the room. 'What…oh god… things have gotten much worse down here!'
Sammy stopped and stared at the other Boris closest to the door.
'Er…Henry, I would love to join you but I just realized that Alice will destroy me if I go with you so…'
"Stay here." Sammy was relieved when Henry said that.
Since he didn't go with him, Sammy kept watch from where he was standing at. Hoping he would leave the next room safely.
When Henry exited, Sammy was already on his way back to the lift. The room was too disturbing for him to be in any longer.
'On second though…I think I'll stay here.' Sammy said, feeling a little afraid to be out and about with Alice and Bendy around.
Alice was one of the main reasons he went back to the music department and stayed there to begin with.
"Are you just going to stay here?" Henry asked after hitting a button in the elevator to collect some spare parts.
Sammy nodded as a response.
"Okay." Henry nodded back.
It took nearly a hour but Henry eventually collected everything. Even the hearts down below where the Projectionist was. He had a eerily feeling he knew who he was but didn't want to think about that.
Bendy appeared many times. A clue for when he was near was Boris putting his hands over his eyes and started to cower.
In truth, Sammy was actually afraid of Bendy. He still saw him as his Lord but was afraid he would attack and destroy him again if he spoke. Besides, if Henry was near then he didn't want to risk hurting him or him finding out who he really was.
While Henry was collecting things, Sammy stayed safe and sound in the elevator. Trying to think of a way to get him away and out of the studio. But he knew since Alice saw him that it wouldn't be so easy.
"Return to the lift. It's time to go home." Alice giggled.
'is she really letting him go that easily?' Sammy thought to himself as Henry joined him in the elevator and Alice started moving it herself.
"Have you ever wondered what Heaven is like?" Alice asked. "I like to dream that it's quite beautiful…"
'Hm….' Sammy hummed to himself.
"…Are you ready to ascend, my little errand boy? The heavens are waiting." Alice continued on.
That's when she started to laugh…quite evilly.
'I knew it wasn't going to be that easy…' Sammy huffed, feeling very worried and scared.
The second the elevator dropped was the second Sammy started to cower again. He knew this was dangerous! Coming back down here with Henry! But…he couldn't let him go alone. And now they were both going to die! Or… Henry was. Sammy would probably be back in a different inky body after a few minutes.
"Did you really think I'll let you steal from me!? That I'll just let you go!? No, Henry! I know who you are and I know why you're here! And you will not stop what needs to be done!" Alice yelled.
'What is she talking about?' Sammy wondered.
"Now come down and bring me back my Boris!"
'Oh fuck…' Sammy mentally cursed.
"It's the most perfect Boris I've ever seen! And I want it! I need it! I need it's insides so I can be beautiful again! Don't you understand!?" Alice screamed.
"Uh oh…" Henry muttered, trying to hang on as the Elevator continued to fall down.
'No! I didn't come back for this!' Sammy yelled at himself. 'I'm not… not going to be like those other Boris'!'
"Don't you get it!? Give him to me! Better yet, I'll take him! Once… you're… dead!" Alice yelled one last time before the elevator dropped completely.
Within seconds, Henry was out cold.
Sammy opened his eyes to see they were on Level S now. And that Henry was unconscious next to him.
"Oh no!" Sammy gave a wolf-like whine.
Picking him up, Sammy dragged Henry out of the elevator and sat him up against the wall. Bringing the pipe that Henry was carrying with them and setting it beside him.
"Henry, wake up! We got to go!" Sammy said, shaking Henry. "I'm sorry about what happened… please wake up!"
Henry very slowly opened his eyes to see Boris was shaking him.
"That's it, wake up!" Sammy said.
Glancing behind him, Henry tried to speak as he saw Alice coming up behind Sammy- no wait… he meant Boris.
"Henry?" Sammy said as Alice grabbed him before screaming as he was pulled back and dragged down the hall.
Henry took a deep breath and widened his eyes. Did what he just saw actually happen? Looking around, Boris was gone. But he…
"…Sammy?" Henry found himself questioning. "Can't be… I was hearing things."
As quickly as he could, Henry got up to his feet, grabbing the pipe that Boris left beside him.
If he hurried, he might be able to save Boris. He just hoped he could find his way to him first. And not run into Bendy in the process. Or any of the searchers and Butcher Gang members for that matter.
"Hang on, buddy. I'm coming." Henry muttered as he started down the hall.
