After rooting around for a while, he finally found a cleanish cloth to wipe off the extra ink on the girl. They were in the breakroom (you know the room close to the ink machine room. I'm calling it that because I don't know what else to call it. So correct me if I'm wrong) and Henry was sitting at one of the tables drawing as there was nothing else for him to do.
The Ink Demon was sitting on the floor next to Henry, still holding (the now cleanish ) girl in his arms waiting for her to wake up. She looked almost exactly like Alice Angel from the cartoons, with only a few differences. For one thing, her hair was long and it covered most of her face, and the dress she wore was pure white with a large black bow in the back. She wore no shoes, only socks that stopped at the knees that were a dark gray. The halo was dim and was resting on her head.
Her halo suddenly flashed brightly, leaving the demon seeing spots, as it floated cheerfully a few inches above her head. Her eyes fluttered open revealing dark gray pie-cut eyes. Henry, who was really into his doodling, jolted when the demon tugged at the sleeve of his sweater. He looked down at him and saw that the angel was now awake.
She blinked a few times, looking at her surroundings before smiling at Henry. Henry smiled back and pushed his chair out to stand. Bendy carefully stood while helping the little angel stand by herself. She came to about Henry's hip in height so she wasn't all that small.
She wobbled a little before she managed to stay on her feet. Henry Introduced himself and Bendy, before asking her name. "An….g...el…" was her reply. She seemed to be unable to speak properly. She acted like a little girl, and he supposed he was because she just came out of the machine not too long ago.
He watched as she wandered around the room, exploring every nook and cranny as she took in the world around her. He had a feeling that things would be different in this loop.
With a sigh, he folded up his drawings and shoved them in his back pocket. " Alright, we need to get going." Bendy nodded and carefully guided the girl over to Henry and followed him up the stairs. As they made their way to the exit, Henry watched as the new toon looked around. Her eyes wide in awe at everything around her, it was a nice change of pace.
He stopped and turned to Bendy who was trying to keep the little angel from touching the puddles they passed. He smiled as he watched their antics, Bendy would try to catch her and she would dance away with a giggle. With a huff, the demon gave Henry an exasperated look as if to say 'this kid is a handful.'
"Alright you two, that's enough." Angel gave Henry a pout but stopped messing with Bendy for now.
After explaining the situation to Angel, she nodded in understanding but refused to move from her spot. All the things she was just told scared her quite a bit. Sighing Henry told her that she could go with Bendy, he would keep her safe and she wouldn't have to worry about him, he would be fine on his own. Playing with the hem of her dress she reluctantly agreed to go with Bendy. She knew she wouldn't be able to talk him into her going with him so she chose to avoid an argument by going with Bendy.
Henry gave her a pat on the head and told her he would meet up with them in a little bit. She smiled but it was strained, she wanted to believe that he would be ok but she couldn't help but worry about him.
*Time skip*
It had four hours since they had separated and Angel was beginning to worry about Henry. Bendy had been trying to keep her mind off it but it wasn't really working right now. They were waiting at the end of a hallway for Henry, he told them to wait for him there, and if he needed help Bendy would know.
She jumped when he suddenly stood up growling, something was obviously wrong with Henry. She looked up at the demon in worry, he gave her a pat on the head as if to tell everything would be fine. She looked down the hall waiting for Henry to come around the corner, and when he did she'd give him a big hug.
Bendy lifted his head as the PA system cracked to life and Sammy's voice echoed through the halls, most of what he was saying was just gibberish to him and he felt that old rage coming back. How dare he touch His prey, he felt the urge to find the deranged music man and tear him apart. And he almost did but one thing stopped him from doing so, the little angel looked up at him in fear. He realized that she was worried about him, and he didn't know what to do now. Should he go after Sammy or stay here as Henry told him to?
Shaking his head he made a choice, he would go after Sammy but he wouldn't kill him this time as Henry might not like that, and he had the girl to think about. Taking a deep breath, he grabbed her hand and opened a portal and he gave her a reassuring smile. She nodded and smiled back.
He stepped through, taking Angel with him. He had a music man to set straight.
Stepping through the inky portal gave her a weird feeling but it didn't last long as they had stepped into a room with a man ( at least she thought it was a man, it sure sounded like one) covered in ink. Bendy had let go of her hand and stomped over to the man. He seemed very angry with him and she couldn't understand why. Unless he had hurt Henry then she could understand him being mad.
Bendy let out a growl as he stood behind the inky man, making him jump in surprise. He tuned out the incoherent babbling the man was spewing and grabbed him by the overalls, dragging him toward the door and throwing him out of it. Henry seemed surprised at his arrival but gave him a grateful smile. The little angel poked her head out from the room and waved at Henry.
Bendy pushed the inky man forward and said "̴̡̛̛̪̼̝̱͔͓̤̖̜̝̀̊̽̑̆̍̽̋͠͝F̵̨̞͖̟̩̳̦͆̑ͅr̷̢͎̰͕͉̳̮̼͈̯̩͇͔̘̔̊̌͗͛ȩ̷̧̺̻̮̱͚͈̩̟͈̹͓̖̌͗͋̃ȩ̴̧̛̛̮̽͒͆̿̑̿̅͋͝ ̵̢̻͍̱̖̳̲͍̥̱̭̭̇̀͛͜h̷̡̧̛͚̠͉̭̍͑̈͗͒͋̾̈́͘͝ͅi̴̤̭̘̘̯̙͖͗̌͛m̴̖̌̐̃̽̽͑.̵̧̢̛̯͚̼̣̞̬͑̽̐͆͌.̵̻͐͑̚.̴̢̲̭͖̝͈̯̣̩͕͓̟̘̮́̂́͛̈́̃̃͊̂͌̚ͅ ̴͖͖̣͚͈̲̻̖̗͎̥̬̄͐͋͜N̶̨̯͚̣̭͇̥̉̈́̋ǫ̵̲͕̰̩͇̳͓̲̠̭͔̺̳̟̋̏͆̿ẇ̵̢̦͕̤̾̒͂͆͛̾̚͠"̴̻̙͓̥͓͔͚̖̤͍̏͘
The Prophet said a few more things that the demon simply ignored for the time being. He turned to the Angel and beckoned her forward as if to say that it was safe for her to come out now.
She ran over to the demon and hugged his leg, the inky man was kinda scary and she didn't think that he was a good guy.
As soon as Henry was untied he stood and moved over to them, Angel ran to him and threw herself at him giving him a big hug. He laughed and hugged her back smiling at Bendy in thanks. Setting her down he turned to Sammy who had stopped talking and was staring at the little angel. She shifted under his gaze and gave him a small wave "H-hi…."
That seemed to snap Sammy out of whatever trance he was in as he started spouting questions, to which both Bendy and Henry ignored in favor of walking away.
Sammy followed close behind them, still babbling incoherent nonsense for a while before going silent when Bendy growled at him. Angel kept far away from the inky man and stayed close to Henry.
Sammy was thrilled that his Lord had allowed him to travel along with everyone else. But he was surprised that his Lord was traveling with an Angel who looked almost like the one in the posters, but Sammy knew better than to question his Lord's motives. As his Lord was perfect in every way and he would soon set them all free. (oh god someone help me, I can't stand writing Sammy it makes me cringe.)
*Time skip*
They were all currently resting at Boris's safehouse, It had taken a while to get Boris to calm down when he saw who Henry was traveling with. He didn't seem to mind Angel but he steered clear of Sammy and Bendy (neither of the two seemed fazed by this though as Bendy trying to resist the urge to send Sammy back to the puddles and Sammy was doing his best to please his Lord, not knowing that he seemed to be annoying the hell out of him.)
Henry was playing a card game with Boris as Angel watched in fascination. After watching the two play for a while, Angel wandered off to go bug- I mean see what Bendy's doing.
(Angel you mischievous little- no swearing there are children in the area, mainly me- quiet you and stop breaking the fourth wall child- make me mother- I hate you- Nah you love me- no comment, now let me finish telling the story- alright fine- thank you.)
She found the demon sitting in a corner, his hands were twitching as Sammy talked non-stop about how grateful he was for being allowed to tag along. She giggled as Bendy seemed to be refraining from straggling Sammy. Grabbing a piece of paper she plopped down next to Bendy and started to draw something, Sammy noticed this and moved over to see what she was doing.
She finished her drawing and gave it to Sammy. It was a picture of all five of them having a picnic. He smiled behind the mask and gave her a pat on the head before moving over to a crate on the other side of the room, staring at the drawing seemingly lost in thought.
She looked to Bendy and held out a paper with a game of tic-tac-toe on it. He rolled his eyes (not that anyone couldn't see that) and took the paper, placing the first mark and starting the game.
*time skip*
Henry lay his cards down on the table, bored out of his mind. He knew that they would have to leave soon but Boris didn't seem to want to leave. He could understand why, if they left that meant they would have to deal with Alice. Which was something that Henry did not feel like dealing with right now. With a sigh he pushed his chair back and stood, looking over at Bendy he saw that he and Angel were having an intense game of what looked to be tic tac toe. He stretched, hearing a few pops from his back as he did so.
He looked at Boris, who gave him a nod, he knew that it was time to go and he planned on going with Henry, despite the fact that he was terrified of the demon in the group he wanted to go anyway.
