Both Henry and Lily remained hiding under one of the cots in their cell as the Ink Demon stalked around the room, looking for the pair, threatening to take Lily once he had found them.
"You think you can just get away with abandoning us, Henry, you think you can come back here and act like nothing happened while we were left behind to suffer...while I WAS LEFT BEHIND TO SUFFER AT THE HANDS OF THAT JOEY DREW" he punched the wall right outside their cell in pure rage, causing both Father and Daughter to flinch "well it's time for you to experience the suffering you deserve, I will take away your little girl and you will never see her again, she will remain in this place for the rest of her life." Henry held Lily tighter and he could feel the little girl trembling in his hold, he wasn't going to let the Demon take his child again, he had already lost his wife, he didn't want to lose his daughter also.
"So, you're not going to come out are you, very well, I'll go elsewhere, but don't think this over, sooner or later your little girl will be in my clutches, this is will payback for your betrayal, just like the rest of them" he vowed before leaving the room and once he was finally out of sight, Henry and Lily crawled out from their hiding spot.
"You won't let him get me will you Daddy?" Lily asked, her voice trembling as Henry knelt down to her level and placed his hands on her small shoulders, looking at her right in the eyes.
"Of course not, I will not let him get you if it's the last thing I do" he reassured her "now, let's see if we can find any clues on how we can get out of this cell, he could come back."
"What about this?" Lily asked, holding up the seeing tool "do you think this will show us any clues?." Henry took the device from her and began looking through it to search for any clues and right away he found one, right next to a wooden spoon hanging from the wall, a message telling him to take the spoon.
"It says I need to take the spoon" he stated before grabbing the spoon, only for it to open up a section of the wall which led into another small room with a toilet.
"Well, now what?" Lily asked as she walked over to Henry, peering into the new room that had just been opened "what do we do now?"
"I'm not sure, just let me check the seeing tool" Henry replied before using the tool again and finding another message above the toilet, saying to look inside "umm, I think there's something in the toilet." Lily's face scrunched up in disgust as Henry looked inside but found nothing before checking the top part to find a wrench hidden inside.
"Ah hah, this should get us out" he implied before using the wrench to break down the boards that were keeping them imprisoned and once they had all broken away, he grabbed Lily's hand and the pair of them left the hideout, only to find themselves in a dark cavern-like area.
"Where do we go now, Daddy?" Lily asked.
"It looks like we have to go straight ahead, I can't see any other way to go" Henry replied before gripping his Daughter's hand "okay, let's get moving and hopefully find a way out of this place." The two of them proceeded to walk through the dark, cavernous like hallways until they reached an area which was looking over some kind of river which seemed to be made of ink and right in front of them was some kind of boat.
"I guess this is the way we need to go, I can't see any other way," Henry said as Lily looked at the ink river nervously "hey, what's the matter?"
"I don't like the look of that tunnel over there" the little girl replied, pointing towards the dark tunnel right in front of them "isn't there any other way we can go?"
"I don't think so, this looks like it's the only way we can go" Henry replied as Lily whimpered in fear "hey it's okay, I'm not going to let anything bad happen to you. Come on, let's go." He took her hand and the pair of them walked over to the barge and Henry placed Lily inside before climbing in himself and the little girl continued to look at the dark tunnel in front of them, thinking that something would emerge and possibly drag the barge down with them on it.
"Okay, let's move" Henry stated, pulling the lever at the front of the barge and Lily stood next to him, clinging to his arm as the barge sailed through the dark tunnels.
"Where do you think this river leads to?" Lily asked as she continued to look straight ahead.
"I don't know, let's just follow the river and see where it leads to" Henry replied before the barge came to a sudden halt "oh no." Henry went to the back of the barge to see what had caused it to stop suddenly whilst Lily remained by the lever.
"What is it Daddy?" she asked.
"Some Ink has got stuck in the paddle wheel" Henry replied, "I just need to remove it so we can move forward." He then proceeded to remove the Ink blobs from the paddle-wheel whilst Lily stayed by the lever and the little girl caught something in the corner of her eye and she turned around to see a giant hand that resembled that of Bendy's rising out from the Ink, dragging down another sail barge underneath the Ink itself.
"D-daddy" the child stammered.
"Just hang on Lily, we'll be out of here as soon as I clean up the paddle wheel" Henry replied, unaware of the giant hand's presence and not noticing it rising up from behind their own sail barge.
"DADDY!" the child screamed, watching as the giant hand appeared behind them, ready to strike "IT'S BEHIND US!" Henry looked up just as he finished removing the final Ink blob to see the giant hand right in front of him, gradually swaying forward like it was ready to strike.
"Oh God," he mouthed before rushing back to the lever and hitting it, the sail barge barely escaping just before it got the chance to drag them underneath the Inky river but it wasn't going to give up that easily and proceeded to pursue the pair.
"Daddy it's following us," Lily said in a scared voice, watching as the giant hand slowly glided through the Ink behind them, getting ready to strike at any moment as the paddle wheel yet again became clogged up with Ink blobs.
"Damn not again," Henry said in a frustrated tone before heading to clean off the blobs whilst the giant hand hovered above the barge menacingly "Lily, when I say when you pull the lever and drive the barge whilst I stay back here and clean off the paddle-wheel if it gets clogged up again. I have a feeling this may keep happening."
"Okay" Lily replied, putting her small hands on the lever and once Henry gave her the all clear, the little girl used all her strength to pull the lever to make the barge move forward as the Giant hand still followed them "are we still be followed?"
"Yeah but just keep going" Henry replied as the hand swiped at the boat suddenly, causing it to sway slightly but thankfully the pair didn't fall overboard and Henry began swinging his wrench at the hand "get back, get back."
"Daddy," Lily said in a scared voice.
"Just keep the barge moving," Henry told her as he swung the wrench at the hand "just keep going." The little girl proceeded to do so whilst Henry continued to swing at the giant hand which continued in the attempt to grab the barge and drag it down but as they soon came to an opening, it seemingly gave up and sunk back below the inky river.
"Daddy, look," Lily said, pointing ahead of her "I see something." Henry returned to the front of the barge and looked at what Lily was pointing too, it appeared to be some kind of village made up of little shacks. The barge came to a stop and the pair of them climbed out before Henry crouched down to Lily's level, checking to see if she was alright after their recent encounter.
"What was that giant hand?" she asked, looking back at the tunnel "do you think it could have been Bendy, I mean, that hand did look like his."
"I don't know honey" Henry replied before standing up and taking her hand "come on, let's see if there's a way out from here." They both walked into the little shanty village with a huge sign ahead reading out the words NOT MONSTERS and Henry took a little peek through the seeing tool to find more hidden messages reading such things as YOU BRING DEATH and also ONCE HUMANS, NOW FALLEN INTO DISPAIR.
"Where is everybody, do you think there are people living here?" Lily asked as she clung to her Daddy's arm, nervously looking around but Henry stated that he had no idea and that maybe if there were people living in this little town then it was possible that they were inside the little shacks "maybe we should knock on one of the doors and ask for directions."
"better not, we don't know if the people living in this village could be dangerous or not" Henry replied "we don't know if they could be followers of Bendy, let's just keep looking for a way out and then..." he was suddenly interrupted by the sound of someone breaking wood which was then followed by an inhumane, distorted male voice.
"BETRAYED, ABANDONED" the pair looked to see none other than Sammy Lawrence, the very person who attempted to sacrifice them both to the Ink Demon, very much alive and charging at them wielding an Axe like a madman "I TRUSTED YOU, I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING AND YOU LEFT ME TO ROT, WHY, WHY?"
"DADDY!" Lily screamed as Henry pushed her out of the way to stop her from being hit, causing the little girl to fall to the ground, watching as Sammy attempted to hit Henry with his Axe.
"Come over here and put your face in my Axe" the crazed, Ink man threatened as he proceeded to swing at Henry whilst a terrified Lily watched the two men fight until eventually, Henry knocked Sammy's mask right off his face, causing him to cover his face and run away.
"No, don't look at me, stay away" he spoke as Henry and Lily looked at each other in confusion before Henry walked over to the former musician, only for him to suddenly grab Henry by the throat, lifting him in the air.
"You lied to me, you said I'd be free" he spoke menacingly before throwing Henry to the ground, looming over him with the Axe in his hand "well I'm going to free you now, free your head right off your shoulders."
"LEAVE MY DADDY ALONE!" Lily screamed and Sammy's attention immediately drifted onto the little girl and with a low chuckle, he made his way towards the child before roughly grabbing her by the chin.
"Oh little lamb you have no need to worry," he said in a mock soothing voice yet still sounding threatening and distorted "I'm just going to send your daddy straight to hell but don't worry, you'll be joining him once I've sent him there..unless, you'd rather go first " he then pushed the screaming child to the ground and held her down with his foot before taking out his Axe, ready to strike the little girl.
"Get off my daughter" Henry yelled but Sammy ignored him and raised his Axe in the air as Lily squirmed and cried out from under his foot that was pinning her to the ground.
"Keep still you little brat, you're making this very difficult for me to kill you" Sammy hissed, holding her down tighter and leaning over her in a threatening manner as the little girl sobbed in fear "awww don't cry little lamb, it will soon be over...sheep sheep sheep, it's time for sleep" he then rose his Axe above his head and just as he was about to strike, another Axe struck him right in the head, causing the crazed Ink man to fall lifelessly to the floor and in his place stood none other than Tom who then helped her to her feet as Henry came running over and pulled her into a hug.
"Oh my baby, thank goodness," he said in relief as Tom tapped him on the shoulder and offered handed the Axe over to him as Allison came rushing over, joining the three.
"Phew, that was a close call" she stated, "you guys were lucky we were in the neighborhood."
"How can he still be alive?" Lily asked, "I thought Bendy ate him up."
"I don't know honey, I'm just as puzzled as you are" Henry replied just as the whole area began to shake and rumble, like a small earthquake "what was that, was that him...the Ink Demon?"
"I don't think so, the Searchers and the lost ones built this place, Sammy must have been keeping them at bay, now that he's gone" Allison explained before the rumbling grew louder and the shaking became more intense with Lily clinging to Henry's arm with a scared expression "looks like we're in for fight, get ready."
