Chapter 2:
"Ow my head…" Dani groaned as she woke up. "…What happened?"
Slowly, she sat up, realizing very quickly she was in a pentagram. That's when everything hit her and her head began to hurt more. Seeing the ax in front of her, she decided to press on, knowing there wasn't much else for her to do. And she couldn't go back.
Checking her phone, she saw only a half a hour had passed.
"Wonder if the others went to the police?" She asked herself as she went down the stairs, jumping when a piece of wood fell down and tightened her grip on the ax.
HE WILL SET US FREE
Was written on the first wall she saw as she reached the bottom. Dani was confused. Who was 'he'? And what's with this…bacon soup…?
Spotting another recording, she went over and checked it for a name. This time it was from Sammy Lawrence. Curious, she pressed play.
'He appears from the shadows to rain his sweet blessings upon me. The figure of ink that shines in the darkness. I see you, my savior. I pray you hear me. Those old songs, yes, I still sing them. For I know you are coming to save me. And I will be swept into your final loving embrace. But, love requires sacrifice. Can I get an amen?"
"Fuck no." Dani muttered.
"I SAID can I get an amen?" A voice said over the loudspeaker.
"AMEN!" Dani yelled out, hoping to please whoever just spoke to her. And if she didn't know better, that was Sammy himself.
'But it couldn't be… he's probably dead by now…' She thought to herself, setting the recording, which she was surprised she didn't drop, back down.
However, whoever that was had heard the recording and as such was near by…somewhere. It wasn't comforting to know that there was a ink monster and some random guy running around.
Eventually she found her way to the music department and found another recording by Sammy. And to her surprise, some stairs and a exit. Unfortunately, the exit was blocked by ink. But Sammy mentioned a ink pump in his office so she just had to find her way to it.
As she wandered throughout the music department, fighting ink monsters at the same time, she finally managed to get down the hall where another recording from Wally was at.
It took about 20 minutes altogether but she finally found his keys and got into Sammy's sanctuary too.
"Ahh!" She yelped back when she looked up and saw a…ink guy? Standing up on the balcony. "Well, that isn't creepy at all!"
She heard a noise to her right and slowly turned to see a Searcher crawling towards her. Letting out another yelp, she began swinging at him and all the others that appeared.
Once it seemed like they were gone, she began walking back and forth and noticed that the man followed her every move. Slowly, she backed up and opened the door, running down to his office after taking care of the other valve in the infirmary.
As soon as the pump was pulled, she hustled to the door, clutching the ax in her hands.
"OW!" She whined as she got hit over the head and fell to the floor.
"Rest your head, it's time for bed." She looked up and saw a shadow-like figure before closing her eyes.
Once he knew she was out, Sammy grabbed her by her ankles and dragged her to the sacrificing room, bringing the ax with him. Then he tied the girl upright with roped tied around her hands behind her back and made sure the pentagram under her feet was perfect.
However, Sammy was quite confused. Who was this girl who looked to be a young adult? He knew she couldn't be any older than 25. Why was she at the studio? Did she come and visit him? It's been a long time since he had any human interaction. But he couldn't let his needs get in the way of what must be done to please his Lord.
As he double checked the binds, he didn't notice her waking up right away and it wasn't until he pulled back and stood up straight that he noticed she had woken up and even lifted her head a little.
"What…?" She mumbled quietly. So quiet that Sammy didn't hear.
Her head was pounding now, even worse after her eyes focused on the being standing directly in front of her.
Sammy waited a moment for her to become more aware. No need to repeat himself. Once she was looking at him and seemed more awake, he decided to start talking before she could.
"There we go now, nice and tight. We wouldn't want our sheep roaming away now, would we? No, we wouldn't. I must admit I am honored you came all the way down here to visit me. It almost makes what I'm about to do seem… cruel." Sammy chuckled.
'Who is this man? What happened to him? And why am I-' It was then that Dani realized she was tied up and standing in a pentagram. That's when she woke up completely and began to struggle.
"-But the believers must honor their savior. I must have him notice me."
"Notice me, senpai?" Dani felt her deep breathing stop for a moment as she muttered that sentence with a small smile ((I'm sorry. I couldn't resist))
"Hm? What's a 'senpai?'" Sammy questioned, tilting his head.
"It's kind of hard to explain." She said, finding her voice completely.
"Explain the best you can." Sammy practically commanded.
"Uh…" She trailed off. "It's basically a person that you look up to and love… a lot. Best way I can describe it. Some will even kill for their senpais to be all theirs or for them to be noticed. Sound familiar to the current situation, Sammy?" Dani asked.
"Ah… I suppose Bendy is my…. Senpai." Dani held back a chuckle when she heard that. "Wait. How do you know my name?"
"It was-" She was cut off.
"Not now. For our lord is calling to us, my little sheep. The time of sacrifice is at hand! And then, I will finally be freed from this... prison. This inky... dark... abyss I call a body." She began to hear noises above them. "Shhhhh! Quiet! Listen! I can hear him. Crawling above. Crawling! Let us begin. The ritual must be completed! Soon he will hear me... he will set us free."
With that, Sammy turned around and headed for a room to Dani's left.
"Sammy? Come back!" Dani began to struggle again.
Sammy didn't listen and proceeded to shut the door before getting on over the loudspeaker.
"Sheep, sheep, sheep, It's time for sleep. Rest your head. It's time for bed. In the morning, you may wake. Or in the morning, you'll be dead." Sammy started as she worked on getting the bindings off.
"Well, that's not the creepiest poem I've heard." She muttered to herself.
"Hear me, Bendy! Arise from the darkness! Arise and claim my offering! Free me! I beg you! I summon you, ink demon! Show your face and take this tender sheep!" Dani heard a crashing noise as she broke free and immediately grabbed the ax that was nearby. "No! My lord! Stay back! I am your prophet! I am your-"
She held the ax up as she looked towards the door Sammy went in. Flinching, when she heard him scream what was probably a literal bloody- or inky- murder.
Deciding on not wanting to wait around, she ran down the hall that had opened up, chopping her way through.
"Is that a exit?" She pushed her brunette hair that fell out of the ponytail, which was now almost completely covered in ink, behind one of her ears.
Slowly, she stepped towards it, fearfully since the ax had broken just moments before.
Dani nearly screamed when Bendy suddenly popped out of the ink. Instead, she went with running down the other hall and quickly shut and closed the door, noticing that Bendy was indeed following her this time.
"Oh…my…God…" She breathed, now out of breath and feeling ready to have a panic attack.
After waiting a moment, she went through the other door and headed to the room with the 'Lift' sign next to it. Then a can of soup rolled out from across the room.
"Hello? Someone here? Show yourself! …And don't kill me either!" She said and was surprised when Boris came out. "Boris?"
He gave her a small nod.
"You're…alive? How?" He gave another nod but was more hesitant this time. "Can't talk?" Boris shook his head. "Okay. Are you going to hurt me?"
This time he shook his head again. "Can you…take me somewhere safe?"
Dani asked, feeling that she could trust the wolf. He nods again and holds his paw out. Slowly, she put her hand in it and had him lead her down a little ways to a safe house.
They played some card games, ate some soup, and by the end of the night, Dani felt she could sleep safely.
