"So,what do we need to do again?" Lily asked as both she and Henry stepped out onto level 11, Henry gripping the syringe in one hand whilst Lily clung to his other hand, still shaken up from her encounter with Bendy.
"We need to hunt down four swollen searchers and collect the extra thick Ink from them" Henry replied as Lily screwed up her face which Henry took notice off "I know, I know, it sounds gross but we need to do whatever Alice wants us to do if she's going to let us leave once we do these favours for her." The pair stepped out of the elevator but Boris once again remained inside and Henry could only guess that he was fearful of Bendy, after all, it was possible that he had been staying in the safe house and out of sight whilst the Ink Demon roamed the halls of the studio and could possibly show up at any time.
"Okay, we need to be real quiet if we find any swollen ones and we'll need to sneak up on them in order to collect the thick Ink from them" Henry explained as they walked down the long hall that was level 11, a river of Ink by the wall right next to where another Miracle station was.
"You're not going to leave me in that alone again are you?" Lily asked, pointing over to the station "not after what happened last time." The thought of being left alone in again in another miracle station and Bendy finding her again scared the little girl so much, what if she wasn't able to get away if he was to find her again and grab her.
"No, I'm not going to leave you again, I'm not letting you out of my sight" Henry replied, pulling her into a hug "now come on, let's get this over with." After what seemed like hours of searching, they finally managed to find the four swollen searchers, the last one being in a room at the end of corridor which resulted in them having to walk through the flooded Ink and they even came across a strange humanoid figure that appeared to have a projector for a head lurking in the room at the end of the hall which seemed to have mysteriously disappeared as they entered the room.
"What was that?" Lily whispered.
"I don't know but I know one thing for such it isn't Bendy" Henry replied.
"Do you think there could be another Ink monster like Bendy roaming around?" the little girl asked "do you think there could be more like him in this place?"
"I don't know but I think we should take this thick Ink back to Alice now that we've collected it all" Henry replied and Lily nodded before looking at the Ink river and scrunching up her face, walking through it had now made her once white tights black with the stuff and it even got onto her shoes.
"Don't worry, I'll get you some new ones when we get out of here" Henry promised, noticing that she was looking at her Ink stained tights "Ink can be a real pain in the As-I mean butt to wash out, but anyways, let's get a move on." Lily nodded and the two of them began making their way through the Ink river, back to the elevator where Boris was still waiting but before they reached the end, a black Inky arm with a white ink stained glove rose up from underneath and grabbed Lily's ankle.
"DADDY!" the child screamed as she felt herself being pulled into the Ink and Henry turned around to see her holding onto a wood beam to prevent herself from being pulled under "HELP."
"LILY" Henry yelled, rushing over to her and grabbing her hands, attempting to pull her out but her attacker was not giving up without a fight and Henry soon found himself in a tug and war battle "LET GO OF MY CHILD YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Screaming, Lily grabbed onto Henry's neck as he tried to pull her out but whatever had grabbed her was determined to pull her under that now only her head and arms were visible over the flooded Ink but she still held onto her daddy who with all his strength, gave one huge pull and fell onto his back, Lily still clinging to him,shaking and crying.
"You okay?" he asked, sitting up just as a fountain of Ink erupted from the flood and Bendy came rising out from under it, sneering "oh my god." Not wanting to hang around any longer, Henry scrambled to his feet and made a dash for the elevator, carrying Lily bridal style as Bendy once again pursued after them.
"Give me the girl Henry" the Ink Demon roared "you're going to pay for what you did to us traitor, give me the child." The man jumped in the lift and slammed his fist on the button, closing the doors before hitting the button for level 9 and the elevator moved downwards but they could still hear Bendy shrieking with fury from level 11.
"He's still after me" Lily said, her voice shaking "why is he after me?"
"I don't know but I'm not going to let him get you" Henry replied before looking over at Boris who was now cowering in the corner "don't worry guys, everything's going to be alright, I promise." After reaching level nine once again and placing the thick inside into the drop box, Alice once again gave them another task to complete,destroy all of the cut outs of Bendy.
"You'll find them all on level k and in heavenly toys" she told them over the tannoy "and I have the perfect thing that will make this even more fun." The weapons box opened and this time there was an axe.
"I hope this is the last job" Henry mumbled as he took the axe "the longer me and my daughter are in the place the more danger we are in." Gripping the axe, he and Lily headed back to the elevator, taking it back up all the way to level k, the same place where they had to look for the gear boxes.
"Why is she wanting us to do this?" Lily asked as she and Henry stepped out of the elevator "I thought she got us collected things she needed, why does she want us to break all those Bendy cut outs?"
"Well I reckon there's some kind of rivalry between those two" Henry replied "maybe she wants us to do this just to annoy him." As Lily asked whether they should do this task or not, they were unaware that Bendy was still hiding in the shadows, watching and listening.
"What fools, they're still doing errands for that pathetic excuse of an Angel, now she's got them breaking my cut outs" he pointed out in annoyance "still, if they do go along with this task she's sent them on, I suppose I could give them a scare, I'll show up every time they break one of the cut outs then maybe after they destroy the final one I can try and grab the girl again." So as both Henry and Lily went around breaking all of the cut outs, Bendy would show up every time they broke one but whenever they spotted him lurking about, the father daughter duo would run and hide into a nearby miracle station until they reached heavenly toys and that was were the remaining cut outs where located but this time, Bendy decided he would wait until they smashed them all and then he would make his appearance and he decided to use that moment to snatch Lily but with Henry keeping the girl close to him, it was going to be difficult.
"Daddy there's one left" she piped up, pointing to the last remaining cut out.
"Right, well spotted kiddo" Henry replied, ruffling the child's hair before making his way over to the cut out of the not so innocent cartoon Demon and putting it out of it's misery with his axe.
"Now that was so much fun, oh but I forgot to mention one little itty bitty thing" Alice's voice echoed in a taunting voice "he hates it when people do that, especially me" from the shadows, Bendy grinned maliciously, waiting to make his presence known to them both "I suggest the both of you better hide."
"Oh no you don't" Bendy sneered as he made his way to heavenly toys only to find that Henry and Lily where no longer in that area "what, where did they...oh I see what's happening here, playing a little game of hide and seek are we, how adorable, I've always loved playing that game." From inside the miracle station, Henry and Lily watched as the Ink Demon stalked around the huge toy room, searching for them.
"Oh Henry, Lily, come out where ever you are" he taunted "I know you're both hiding around here somewhere and I know that pathetic wench that calls themselves an Angel got you breaking my cut outs so why don't you come out" Henry could feel Lily trembling as he held the little girl protectively to him "come on I just want to play...with your daughter, don't you want that too...Lily, don't you want to play with a living cartoon character, after all, this is all a game, a game that I'm in control of and I think you'll be very interested with what's in store...for both of you hehehe, but you'll need to come out if you want to proceed" he continued walking around the room, his inky veins covering the walls and giving the area a more dark and sinister appearance.
"What do we do?" Lily whispered "I don't think he's going to leave."
"I know, we'll wait until he's not facing the station and when his back is turned, we make a break for it" Henry whispered before looking to see that Bendy was now examining the remains of his cut outs.
"You know you really shouldn't have done this Henry but if I kill you now then the game cannot go on" he chuckled, now facing away from the station and using this opportunity, the pair bolted out of the miracle station and made a run for it but not before the Ink Demon whipped around and his grin widened "there we go, that's more like it." Seeing that they had been spotted, Henry scooped Lily up into his arms and made a break for it as Bendy gave chase but he wasn't planning on killing them, not just yet, he was having far too much fun with this little game of his and once he had Lily in his clutches, the game would become a lot more interesting.
