It had been at least a month since she had seen a searcher, lost one, or heck, even a Striker. She began to wonder what was going on, had The Ink Demon finally given up?
"Huh, this is weird..." Emily said, as she cooked in her kitchen.
"Typically a searcher or maybe even piper would show up right about now..."
A knock at her door interrupted her thoughts.
"Who's there?" Emily asked.
"I think you can guess."
Emily laughed lightly and called, "It's open."
Boris opened the door happily.
"Heya!"
"Hi Boris." Emily replied softly.
"Well, you seem awfully calm this round." Boris started.
"It's because i haven't seen any of Bendy's servants around anywhere this past month." Emily said.
"See, what'd i tell ya?" Boris used his 'i told you so' tone. Which Emily never liked.
"Boris, you know i hate that tone." Emily said.
Boris bowed his head and smiled.
"You are forgiven." Emily said.
Boris smiled and hugged Emily.
Time passed and Emily eventually let her guard off, seeing as though no searchers or lost ones had appeared.
"Well, i would usually be tense when going out but, i think i'll be okay." Emily said to Boris.
"I don't know Rosie..I got a bad feeling about this..." Boris said.
"I'll be okay, i know it." Emily said.
Emily then walked out of the door and out into the open.
"I can do this." Emily said.
Emily made her way towards the first level of the studio, making sure no one was snooping around.
Seeing it was clear, Emily then made her way towards the music department.
She was sure to be careful, for she knew Sammy was on his hunting grounds.
A few times she had been caught by Sammy and used in rituals to satisfy Bendy.
"Watch yourself Emily...Watch your back, and whatever you do, Don't look back." She told herself.
Once through the music department, she returned to Heavenly Toys, where she heard the...'angelic' voice call for her.
"ERRAND GIRL!"
"Coming Alice!"
Emily learned that it was better not to tempt 'the angel' and her wrath but rather follow her word, she'd seen what she did to the Boris clones and gosh darn if it didn't scar her...
She arrived at Alice's sanctuary, where she was currently at work on a piper.
"Y-Yes Alice?"
"It's about time you arrived, Emily Rose, you know i hate waiting." Emily knew the tragic fate that had befallen Susie Cambelle, unfortunately, she was staring right at the very girl whom was very jealous and hated Emily's guts...
"I have more errands for you, seeing as though you haven't been bothered by that wretched Ink Demon, i thought i'd give you something to do." Susie growled.
"Yes Alice, what is it you require of me?" Emily soon found that Susie preferred when she spoke formally.
"Your first task is simple, i need you to go and collect some cans of bacon soup around the studio. I have sadly run out of them, a lady has to eat to you know."
Emily nodded.
"I will give you your next task once you return."
Emily returned to Susie, with arms full of bacon soup cans.
"Ah, i see you have returned."
"Where would you like these Alice?" Emily asked.
"In the kitchen if you will, you know the drill."
Emily entered Susie's kitchen and placed the Bacon soup cans in a nearby cabinet.
"Okay Alice, what's my next task?"
"Your next task is to go out and find some...Victims for me. I seem to be running low, and i NEED to be PERFECT!"
Emily always hated when Alice made her do this. But it was either this, or her own heart...
"Yes Alice..."
Emily then left and made her journey to find Alice's 'victims'.
After about an hour or so, Emily returned with victims in hand, she did hate making Alice wait but her victims were NOT easy to round up...
"I'm...back...Alice..." Emily said, she had to run to make the victims follow her.
"About time..." Alice said, sitting on a nearby couch.
"Well, they weren't very easy to gather up and-"
"HUSH!"
Emily flinched. Angel or not. She hated when others were loud...
She held back her fear as best as she could.
"One last task for you dear."
Emily nodded and listened.
"Destory that demon's face." Alice said evilly.
Emily gasped, everything else would be fine for her. But now Susie was asking her to destroy the one person. (Or demon) that made her happy even in her saddest moments...
Seeing as though it was that or become one of her own victims.
"I'll get right on it..."
Meanwhile, Bendy was watching Emily's little adventure through his cardboard cutouts, he had to make sure that wretched 'Angel' didn't lay a finger on his precious rose.
But when he heard Susie ask Emily to break said cutouts, he knew he would have to go out and keep an eye on her from the shadows.
Besides, this was the perfect moment to grab her in the end. He could tell that she was tired and weary and to the point where she could pass out at any moment, and when she did, he would be right there to catch her...
Back with Emily.
She had been awarded an axe to do the job, it was easier said than done for her.
She didn't exactly have the strength for this but for some reason, when she raised the axe, she found it light as a feather...
"That's strange..." She said but continued to chop away at the cutouts.
During her little adventure, Emily could feel her energy drain quickly.
"Have...to...keep...up..." Emily said as she climbed the stairs to each floor.
But it wasn't meant to be...
Emily fell to her knees, causing them to be scraped on the wood, but at that moment, she didn't care.
She breathed, trying to regain control.
Eyes rolling back and her body falling backwards, before Emily knew it...She passed out.
The moment she passed out was the moment that inky splots began to cover the walls, and an ink portal opened on one side of the wall.
Bendy grinned widely. He could finally have the one thing he so longingly desired.
He knelt down to Emily and lifted her up into a motherly cradle, making sure to hold tightly, but not too tight.

Bendy then made another ink portal appear on the other side of the wall.
He carried her through until they both were out of sight...
