"W-what" Amelia stammered "but, you can't be him, you can't be Joey Drew." The Ink Demon or Joey as he was now known to be revealed,chuckled and stood at full height, sneering down at the child who was still tied down.
"Oh yes, it's true my dear, I am your grand father, why do you think I wanted to keep you alive once I found out who you were?" he replied "at first I thought you were just another intruder, breaking into my studio and I was going to do with you what I would normally do with an intruder and that would be to dispose of you, but after you fell through the floorboards, you left your little bag pack behind and after taking a little peek and discovering who you were, I vowed to hunt you down so that I could keep you here, alive of course and now that I have you in my clutches, you can never leave" his grin stretched further as he put his face up close to the confused and terrified little girl "you are a Drew after all, so this is where you belong."
"But I can't stay here, my Mommy and daddy will be worried about me" Amelia replied, her voice still sounding hoarse "also I need to be home because I have my medication there."
"Oh yes, I forgot about your little condition" Joey implied, picking up her inhaler and examining it "but no worry, I'm sure we'll figure out a way to deal with it whilst your here."
"Why can't you just let me go?" the little girl asked.
"Oh silly child" Joey chuckled "do you really think I'm just going to let you leave this place so you can tell your little friends of even Mommy and Daddy about us?"
"I-I won't tell anybody, I swear" Amelia replied, her voice shaking "Please, I just want to go home."
"Why, after being stuck here for all these years and I recently find out I have a grand daughter, one who I never knew existed up until now, did you really think I was going to let you leave" he implied "never, you belong here now Amelia, you're part of the studio as much as I am, but don't worry my dear, I'm sure we can make you feel right at home here." Amelia whimpered, knowing that she was never going to get out of this, she was hoping that the real Bendy would show up and save her but there was no sign of him.
"Aww what's the matter?" Joey asked as the little girl whimpered in fear "are you hoping that your little friend is going to come and save you, well, if he does then" the girl let out a sob as he put his face up close to her own "I'll make sure he won't be able to save you, you're mine now and no one, not even that little pip squeak can change that." With every second that was passing, Amelia grew more confused and scared, also she was in quite a bad way, her head still hurt from being knocked out, plus her chest hurt every time she breathed which wasn't a good sign but she needed to keep herself from losing consciousness, she had to stay awake and figure out a way to get out of here, maybe if she asked Joey some questions then hopefully she's be able to stay awake if she kept talking.
"Can I ask you something?" she asked before letting out a small cough "if you are Joey Drew, my grandfather, then why and how do you look like this, an evil version of Bendy?"
"Now that is a rather interesting question" he replied "you see long ago, when I was just a weak, pathetic human being I grew sick, I was dying and basically I didn't want that to happen, I had so much more to live for and I had to think of a way so that I could live forever, now, I'm guessing you have seen the Ink machine which resides upstairs?" Amelia nodded "well you see, with that machine, I was able to transform myself into a version of my most famous cartoon creation and now I have become immortal, I am immune to any sickness and attacks that try to defeat me, I am no longer a mere,weak human, I am now the most feared being in this very studio, I am now the Ink Demon."
"So, you did this, just so you wouldn't die?" Amelia asked.
"Indeed little Amelia" Joey replied before a sinister idea came to his mind "you know, if perhaps you were to become a toon then maybe you wouldn't have to suffer from that little breathing problem of yours. Wouldn't you like that my little grand daughter, to become a toon and possible live forever?" Amelia was shocked by what she had just heard, he was planning on making her into a toon, maybe this was the reason he was keeping her alive.
"I-I don't want to be a turned into a toon" the girl rasped as Joey looked at her, seemingly frowning.
"But why not, if you was to become a toon then you could live forever, just like me" he crooned, watching as Amelia shook her head in disagreement "maybe, just maybe I could lure your parents here also and make them into living cartoons, then we can all live here for all eternity in this very studio, just one big happy living cartoon family."
"No" Amelia replied, she now sounded scared,if he was indeed planning on putting her inside the Ink machine to make her into a living cartoon then she had to figure out a way to escape but it would be difficult with her being strapped down to a bed with an eight foot tall Ink Demon nearby "I don't wanna."
"You think you have a choice in all this don't you, well you.." he saw that Amelia was on the verge of passing out, she had not yet full recovered from being hit on the head "hey!" he yanked her ponytail causing the child to become slightly more alert but still woozy "don't you know it's rude to fall asleep when someone is speaking to you. Now, as I was saying, you think you have a choice on if you want to become a toon, well bad news for you child, you don't, I'll make you into a toon and then you can spend the rest of your life here" he sneered as he put his face up close to her, causing the terrified little girl to whimper "after all, I'm not going to let my own grandchild leave the very place she is destined to be, you're a Drew and your place is here and pretty soon I'll have the rest of your family here also and I'll make them into living toons." Scared,Amelia let out a choked sob as the evil incarnate of Bendy that was once joey drew stood at full height and left the room, leaving her strapped down in the darkness and the little girl sobbed harder, where was Bendy, her Bendy, why hadn't he come and saved her, she began to worry that something may have happened to him, that could be the only reason why, he wouldn't just abandoned her like this.
"Bendy,where are you?" she whispered before having another coughing fit as the tightness in her chest increased, making it difficult for her to breath which wasn't a good sign as her inhaler was laying on a table at the other side of the room "someone, anyone, help me." Her coughing began to grow worse and before long, the little girl began fighting for air, her vision slowly becoming blurry and fading.
"B-Bendy" she mumbled weakly as her vision grew darker and darker "where are you?" As the energy slowly drifted from her, all Amelia could do was lay there, wheezing as she drifted in and out of consciousness, not noticing that Joey had returned along with Sammy Lawrence or that the pair of them had approached the almost unconscious child.
"Amelia,Amelia?" the grinning face of the Ink Demon was the last thing Amelia saw before her world finally turned to darkness.
