A constant plethora of decisions were being thrown in the face of officer Connor. Each one was daunting enough knowing that many lives were in his hands. This was impossible...He knew he would end up in the claws of the "monster" lurking about, but he was so tired of running in circles trying to find signs of a living girl down here. He honestly didn't pay much mind to the fact that he and Williams weren't getting out of here trying to find her.

It was faint, but a very deceiving melody had begun to humm through the cracks in the walls and reach the two, and for a moment Connor thought he had lost his mind. It was a song he was unable to recall from any past memories, and it sounded too hypnotic to be anything worth ignoring.

"Who is that?" Williams asked, "Singing...Who is singing?" He and Connor looked around, as if it was going to be that easy to spot the source of the sounds.

The voice perfected each note, performing smooths rifts as the melody continued and further entracing them in the sweet song. It was pretty weird to hear something so beautiful in a place that was not anything of the sort.

"It sounds like it's coming from below us..." Connor replied, his mind unfocused and transfixed on the humming. The man swiftly turned around and walked back the way they came. "Come on Will, I think I saw a set of stairs somewhere back here."

His companion followed without objection, hoping to find that the song meant there was someone else here besides the "monster." Maybe they could find someone who knew where the girl was they were looking for, and maybe they also knew of what had happened at the ink machine.


Down...farther into the hellhole, farther into the deathtrap they knew nothing of, farther into the sea of danger they would have to find a way out of...farther into the abyss.

The song never ceased, and got louder the deeper they went. At this point, the voice was much easier to depict as a woman's, and it's dulcet tone and pitch were exceedingly good. Connor could hear Williams begin to hum along with the voice from behind him. He didn't exactly have a problem with it, but it was a little distracting.

"I didn't even realize the studio was this big..." Connor admitted to himself, walking through the hallways and noticing a couple of old speakers up on the walls here and there. The speakers seemed to be the source of the melody, and the man groaned with annoyance as he realized that.

"And these fucking speakers seem to be where the sound is coming from, so this just led us into a deeper mess!" He growled, turning to Williams with an angry snarl.

"This whole thing was pointless! There are probably speakers all throughout the building, and we can't trace the source of the voice if it's coming from EVERYWHERE!"

A feminine chuckle sounded from the speakers, and the humming had come to a stop. The two officers whipped their heads towards the device on the wall, stunned and surprised to hear another human voice.


"Don't jump to conclusions, darling~"


"Who are you!" Connor shouted at the speaker, "How do you even know we're here?!"

Another laugh followed the outraged questions, and the men raised a brow at the calmness of her voice and tone.


"I wouldn't be so bold if I were you. If I was able to hear the ruckus you two were making, then the Ink Demon will surely have heard you as well..."

The ink demon? Was that the owner of the claw marks upstairs?

Connor narrowed his eyes. So there really was a bigger threat down here... The two of them had been so careless and loud, they were lucky the demon hadn't found them by now. The males stayed silent, and Connor didn't even have to look at Will to know that he was terrified.
