Ink Has More Than One Purpose (Slow Updates)

Chapter 16 "Finding a Solution"

Ink's pov.

"Wait- doesn't Alice control the elevator?" I asked. "Yes, but this is another elevator. And Alice doesn't not know this one exists." We went inside of the elevator, and Bendy asked, "So, where is this person?" "Well, this person is an angel so they live on one of the top floors." "Great another angel." I said sarcastically.

For some reason angels, especially Alice, are always involved in my problems. Let's hope this is not the case this time. Some time has passed with Sammy and Norman talking. While me and Bendy sat in silence. "Oh, yeah!" Sammy exclaimed. Almost like he forgot something. "We are going to Alice's territory, so I suggest turning into your cartoon form."

"Ok, then." Bendy replied while turning into his cartoon form. "And since you guys are not exactly buddy-buddy with the angels, you're gonna have to be careful. Especially when the place is gonna be crawling with angels." Sammy warned. "Since when am I not careful?" "When you got captured by Alice." "Ok! Ok, I get it but what about you?"

"I haven't been attacked by them yet, so I think I'll be fine." "I've been thinking, what about you and Norman?" I asked Sammy. "I know a couple of angels who live here. So I'll be ok. As for Norman, they won't mess with him since Alice wants the ink hearts at his place." He replied. "Doesn't Henry also collect some of the ink hearts?" I ask Bendy.

"Yeah. Why?" "I kinda have a feeling he is there, let's hope not though." "If that is the case then, we have to hurry 'cause I have to get the reel before Henry does." As soon as that was said, the elevator stopped. "Whew, that was a long trip." I said stretching. "Ok, I know a safe route but you guys still need to be careful!" Me and bendy nodded.

We followed Sammy through some dark hallways, and somewhat crowded rooms. 'Has there always been this many people?' I thought while passing through one of the rooms. After some time, Sammy stops. "Are we here?" I ask him. "Yeah, and I suggest not getting on their bad side. They have a very good connection with Alice Angel, so if they report you."

"It'll make it harder to avoid Alice." Sammy warned again. "Imma stay out here." Norman suddenly said. Sammy, now worried, asked, "Why?" "We aren't on good terms right now." "Ok then, wait for us here. Ink, Bendy let's go." Me and Bendy follow Sammy to a door with a light bulb hanging from the ceiling.

A couple centimeters away from the door. Sammy then knocks on the door in a weird way. 'It was probably a code.' Once he was finished the door opened slightly. Revealing a bright room with a hallway on the left and a desk in the center. Along with a large chair. And the silhouette of a person slumped over their desk.

And there was a trail of smoke near where I assumed was their mouth. And there was a sofa that was a pale maroon color in front of a TV, on the right of the room. We walked into the room, with Sammy in front. "It's nice to see you Sammy. And I see you brought some guests." The person said in a friendly tone.

"Hello, my name is Azrael!" 'Now I know what he meant when he said that they were close to the Angel. Azrael is one of Alice's most trusted protectors.

(There are only 3 protectors. Serafina, Azrael, and another character that comes up later in the story. The protectors help Alice keep an eye on the people living in her territory. And they help fight off any enemies that are trying to attack the citizens.)

"My name is Ink!" "And mine's Bendy!" We told the angel. "And it's a pleasure to meet you!" I add. "So, what prompted you to come here, today?" Azrael asked. "I can't use my powers and we were wondering if you can help me get them back." "When did it stop working?" "A few hours ago." "Try using your magic again, maybe it'll come back." 

I tried turning into my ink demon form, but it didn't work. "Nothin'." "Well, I know how to fix you. Luckily you came before it became permanent." "When will it become permanent?" "Around 3 days." 'I would have a lot of trouble if I waited that long.' "Yes, but what will you give me in return?" "I brought these, will these work?"

"Yes, that and 5 Ink hearts. And we'll have ourselves a deal." "What do you need those Ink hearts for? I thought that Alice was the only one who would want those." "Well, she's not. And what I do with them is none of your business. Now do we have a deal or not?" "Ok, but you better keep your word." "Of course I will, I always keep my word."

'We didn't bring ink hearts, did we? And what's his deal? He was kind when we got here. Now he is being a bit rude' I decided to ask Sammy about the ink hearts. But, before I could ask, I was interrupted. "The solution should be ready by the time you finish getting those hearts." Azrael said with a smirk. "See you soon~"

We walked out of the place, the door was slammed shut behind us. 'Well, he was rude. Oh, well.' We told Norman what happened and he seemed to be annoyed about it. Then, I decided to ask, "Can me and Bendy go collect the hearts? Plus traveling by ink is faster." "Are you guys sure?"

"Of course we are, and besides now you and Norman can talk to each other without us interrupting." "Ok, but be careful and try not to take too long!" "We won't!" Me and Bendy waved at the two others before we walked into the inky wall. We arrived on level 14. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a string of light.

It kept growing and growing. "I think Henry is here." I told Bendy. He started turning into his Ink demon form. "Imma stay like this so Henry won't interrupt our search." "Alright!" Sometime later me and Bendy found one each. We only needed one more, but then we found some angels. One of the angels looked like that angel that took me to their prison.

I think her name was Sara-fin, no- maybe it was Serafina. Yeah, that sounds more like it. Anyways, they must have been looking for some ink hearts too. "We gotta find the last one before they take them all." "And before they spot me." Luckily we were able to find the last ink heart. But, that's when I remembered something.

"Wait, before we go I forgot something in the maze." "Can't you get it later?" "If I do, I don't think I will be able to find it later." "Fine, but I'm going with you." "You don't have to come. I can go myself. I shouldn't take too long." "Alright, fine. But don't get spotted! If something happens, Sammy's not gotta let me hear the end of it."

"Ok, I'll be back soon!" I say before running towards the entrance to the maze. When I made it inside, I walked near the wall. Since there was ink on the walls, they were darker, making it easier for me to remain unnoticed. After walking for some while, I found my bowtie which was on one of the lower shelves.

While I was facing the shelf, someone from behind me pointed their flashlight at me. I turned around and saw some random angel, staring at me. "I found one of the demons!" They screamed. To be quite honest, they startled me a bit. I didn't think they'd scream. Soon Serafina appeared. "Where is it!?" She asked.

The person pointed towards me. She looked in the direction their finger was pointed. Which was right at me by the way. "YOU!" She yelled while flying towards me with an angered expression. By this time I finally found the time to run, bowtie in hand. "I WILL BRING YOU BACK TO MY MISTRESS!!"

Dodging her every time she tried to grab me. "YOU CAN'T ESCAPE ME!!!" That's when I found a miracle station near one of the projections. I ran into it. Pulling the door shut. Since she saw me go into it, she started banging on the door. I kept pulling on the door to make sure it wouldn't open for her.

My hands were hurting because of how hard I was pulling on it. Finally, after a little while, she gave up and walked away. I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding. "Bendy?" 

I will probably start updating this story once or twice a month. This chapter is 1,500+ words. Have a lovely day, afternoon or night!
