I groaned in soreness from laying on a hardwood floor. I sat up and looked around with my stomach growling in hunger.
"If I'm not murdered by Bendy then I'm sure starvation is gonna kill me instead," I mumbled to myself.
I got up and grabbed my ax. I waved my ax against the wood blocking my way. I approached the Utility shaft with the number 9, and that's when things grew even creepier.
Words were painted on the wall saying, "HE WILL SET US FREE."
I looked at the cans of bacon soup, banjo, candles, and a tape recorder. I played it while I opened the bacon soup to satisfy my starving body.
Before the recorder ended, I heard the man repeating, "Can I get an amen?"
I got up quickly feeling a bit paranoid about what I just heard then I looked at the ink flooded corridor. That's when I saw the most disturbing thing ever: a man covered in ink with a Bendy cutout walking past the doorway. I stopped directly in my tracks feeling the color drain from my face. My heart was pounding hoping he didn't hear me splashing in all the ink. I walked down towards the door where I saw the man and looked at the direction he went in, but what I saw was a wall with the Bendy cutout against the wall. I rubbed my eyes with my index finger and thumb in frustration at how debilitated I am from everything that had happened.
"I'm clearly going insane from all the stress, but I need to press on to survive,"
I sighed and cut the cutout in half with my ax. I moved towards the closed gate and saw on the wall three blinking lights on a box with the words labeled button 1, 2, and 3. I picked up a cassette found on top of the metal box. I looked around for the buttons while it played. I saw one by the alter, the second high on the wall and the last one was behind a bunch of cans. I stood in front of the entrance with my ax ready to swing in case anything were to attack me. Once the gates opened, I stepped through and turned my shaft against the wood obstructing my way. When I entered the room, there was hardly any light, so I put my hands out just in case I ran into something. My hand brushed against the wall then an opening. I grasped the doorway and walked into it. Finally, I felt a lever on the wall and pulled it hoping for something good to come. The lights turned on and irradiated the room. When I turned around, I saw the sign which stated the Music Department. A cassette player was propped up underneath the sign. I heard a sloshing noise, and it sounded slimy. I rotated and saw a Searcher crawling at me with its massive, black arms dripping with ink. I screamed and pulled my ax out swinging at the oozing creature's head. I noticed more coming out. I whacked and fought at each one of the monsters.
"These things... they act like their searching for something. I guess they are searchers," I wheezed softly being all sweaty from fighting the Searchers.
I saw a gate that was open and a door with a small sign on it labeled Sammy's sanctuary. "Sammy's Sanctuary?" I whispered to myself then grabbed the doorknob and opened it cautiously.
Knowing that those Searchers exist means that I must be on my guard to persist. I looked at the large sanctuary and saw the wooden stools with music stands in front of them. I looked at the projector which was up above and saw a Bendy cutout in the room next to the projector studio. I looked at the new cassette and played it while I looked around. This time it was a female voice, and her name was Susan Campbell. I listened to her talk about a character like Bendy but with a halo. She was created after my father was fired since Bendy missed me so much Joey drew a new girl to try to substitute me, and her name was Alice Angel, but Bendy wouldn't accept her. I continued and walked out the door. I walked towards the door that led to the projector room which was across the studio. I opened the door and played the next record while examining the projector in front of me. I pushed a button, and it started to play. I walked back down to the gate that was unexplored, and I walked around. Something glimmered in the light that was in the trash can. I bent over and picked it up in curiosity. The letter W was engraved on the side which reminded me of the tape saying that a man named Wally lost his key somewhere. I opened every door then entered one. There was an organ in the middle of the room; I pressed a key and after I heard a moan coming from somewhere. It sent chills down my spine.
"Hello?!" I shouted and drew my ax out.
My fear was wrestling to take control of my mind. My body was covered in chills, but I had to keep headstrong. I walked down the hallway finally finding Wally's closet. I opened the closet door and saw a can of soup next to another cassette. I ate and listened to the tape and Sammy's favorite song. I smiled and clutched the disk then rushed off to return to the projector studio and turned on the projector. Once I did, I whisked back to the sanctuary and started playing the instruments, but afterward, more Searchers came and attacked. I was cornered, so I climbed onto the barrel and flipped over them. I somersaulted and landed behind them. I spun around swinging my ax hitting three of them in the head. I forgot there was a fourth one and by the time saw him I was already on the ground with nothing but my ax holding off the Searcher's jaws from ripping my esophagus out. I threw the thing off and kicked it against the wall. I knew now what it is like to fight for my life. I swung the ax with all my strength and decapitated the freakish blob.
I panted softly and combed my hair back with my fingers in frustration. I dropped my shaft and fell to my knees. I was frustrated and exhausted. I saw a man standing in the room next to the projector room. He was watching my every move with his cold, crazy eyes. My back pressed against the cold wall while I covered my face trying to hold back the tears. I inhaled deeply and barely managed to pull myself together. I grabbed my ax and continued to the infirmary where I heard that I needed to activate the 2nd valve. I paced back to Sammy's office and looked around curiously. I looked through his desk skimming through papers, and pictures. I looked at a photo of my father hanging up on the wall with a Bendy cutout next to us and me. I chuckled softly at the photo remembering the beautiful times before my father was fired. I sighed and looked at the activation button. I pressed it quickly then made my way back to the stairwell by utility shaft nine. I started to walk down the stairway, but then something hit me from behind. The last thing I remembered was falling down the stairways.
I woke up being strapped to a wooden board just like Boris was. My head was pounding worse than a headache. I looked up to see Sammy covered in ink with a Bendy mask on.
"Poor little lamb." He chuckled softly caressing my black waves.
I jerked away and glared at him, "Sammy! What are you doing? Let me go! Don't you see Bendy has changed and if he sees us, we are dead?" I shouted at him.
"It seems to me that you clearly don't understand the situation here dear Olivia." His voice wasn't what it used to be it was more vile and dark.
"Let me guess. I'm your prisoner now." I was annoyed.
"Close, but not quite. You see we are both trapped here because of the great Bendy. Now, my little lamb there can only be one of us that can live and that will be me!" His moods turned from praising to anger. He walked away to the speaker room and continued to speak there. "Now my king! I bring you to sacrifice in return to spare my life! Please accept this offering. Wait, my king what are yo-" He was cut off when Bendy appeared to where he was and attacked him. His screams filled the room over the speakers. I struggled more trying to escape, but the straps were too tight, or at least I thought they were. Since I'm so small, I managed to wiggle my hand out of the belt and unbuckle it. I unfastened my legs then stepped down to the ground. I looked around and heard Bendy coming nearby. I grabbed my ax and bolted down the corridor. I looked around trying to find an exit nearby, but then Bendy grabbed me and threw me across the room. I was still hurting from being whacked by Sammy, but the pain didn't matter. My life did, and I knew I couldn't fight Bendy at least not with an ax. I got up and rushed off towards the nearest door. I slammed it and blocked it with crates so he couldn't get in. He banged on the door in an endeavor to get inside, but it stopped so I assume he must've left to find another entrance. I had managed to escape Bendy for the second time.
I turned to look around the room trying to figure out a plan until I saw a can of soup roll from behind a corridor in the room.
"Who's there?" I grabbed my ax in a fighting stance.
A figure stepped out of the dark corridor. It was Boris that stepped out of the darkness. I stood there in shock before I ran and hugged him tightly. Despite my excitement to see my friend alive, his appearance begged the question: If Boris was alive then who was strapped to the table on the main floor? Suddenly I felt my body grow heavy.
"Olivia? I'll be darned! You alright?" He hugged me back just as tightly. I stared at him blankly before passing out in exhaust and pain.
