Brooke's Pov

I wake up in a daze, the dimly lit room a blur. I sit up suddenly. Bendy!
I look around, confused. I'm not in the studio.
There's yellow walls covered in a fading texture all around. What the-?
A bone-chilling sound rips through the air somewhere off to my right. I scoot over to the left, tripping over myself to stand up.
Where-.. where am I?
There's nothing where I was passed out, and there's no sign of ink, or Bendy.

Bendy's Pov

Where could she have gone?
I've checked the entire level, and Brooke is nowhere to be found.
There's no trace of her through the ink or the cut outs.
It's like she just.. disappeared off the face of the earth..
I open a portal in the wall and leap through, to her lair again. Maybe for some reason she's on this level...

Brooke's Pov

I think it's hunting me.. I hide behind a yellow wall pillar, in the center of a room that's full of winding wall pillars. The thing I saw earlier, that probably made that terrifying noise, was a black blur with tendril looking limbs and spikes for feet. I believe it saw me when I was stupidly wandering out in the open of this nonsensical office looking place. I sneak across the room and hide behind another pillar. There's scurrying on the other side of the room, and I hold my breath.
I hope Bendy finds me soon...
Silence fills the room aside from the persistent buzzing of lights above.
My heart pounds in my chest as slow seconds tick by. There's another scurrying sound, and I rush over behind another pillar in front of me, hiding as the room becomes silent once more.
My breathing sounds more like howling wind in my ears. I wish I could quiet it faster. I peer around the pillar, and freeze. My heart leaps in my throat. It's right there, staring at me.
I stare back, refusing to move until it leaves, or tries to attack.
It's a hideous creature of wires and black muck strung together sloppily at every jagged angle. Its jaw hangs open like a zombie, as it tilts its head at me. I hold my breath, my body shaking.

Bendy's Pov
"It's the girl. Alice, have you seen her?" I call back to the speakers in front of the gate.
The doors open loudly as the rusty gears struggle. Alice walks out. "I haven't, at least for a while."
I throw ink on the ground next to me in frustration. "DAMMIT!"
She flinches.
"But.. maybe there's a way to track her?" She said quietly. My ink covered eyes dart to her. "Explain."
