{(Y/N)'s POV}
It was August 15th when I was heading to class in College. My friends and I were talking about things till one of them said to me that I should go into an abandoned studio just to scare me. I have no idea why my friends wanted me to go into Joey Drew Studios, but all I can say that I hear rumors about that place. Saying a man went in there and never came back. No one knew that he went missing till my next door neighbor, Ms. Linda Stein was putting up missing posters of her missing husband. I was always there for her to support her, and help her out, but I have to say. She's like an aunt to me.

"Oh come on, (Y/N)! It's not that bad!", said Zaria, my friend. "Just because you want me to step into an abandoned studio when a man is missing in there doesn't mean I can go in too! Besides, Ms. Linda would be worried about me if I go missing in there like her husband did!", I said as we go to the entrance of the building. "God, math class is gonna be a pain in the ass.", I thought to myself. All I can say is that I'm terrible at math. I mostly don't pay attention and draw in my sketchbook. I draw the Bendy cartoons, but I mostly draw the Butcher Gang. All those good memories I had when I was a toddler. It's a shame that they had to cancel the show.

(Time skip)
It was lunchtime and my friends went out to go get lunch while I stayed in the cafeteria. I had a thought about the studio and Mr. Henry. "What if he's still alive? No. It can't be. He's been missing since June. Might as well go see.", I thought as I got up and went outside to go to the abandoned studio.
As I got there, I look at the entrance. Never thought I say this, but I think that he might be alive in there. I open the door and went in as I closed the door behind me. "Ok. Let's find Mr. Henry.", I said to myself as I look around. As I took another step, the floor broke as I fell into the abyss. I screamed as I hit the floor. "Jesus Christ, what the hell?!", I exclaimed as I look up from where I was. I look at my (F/O), and I groaned in annoyance. It was all covered in ink. I really can't wash it off that's for sure. It permanently stays there which is terrible.

"Damnit. Have to throw these away now. This was my favorite outfit too.", I complained. A sudden noise was heard as I turned around quickly. "Hello?", I asked, but no one answered. I grabbed a Gent Pipe as I look around. "M-Mr. Henry? Are you there?". No answer. I had a feeling someone was watching me, but no one was around. I saw an axe as I picked it up and looked at the pipe. I threw it behind me as I hold the axe with my two hands. But then I realized something. The pipe didn't hit the floor. I turn around as my heart skipped a beat when I saw something in front of me.

A mutated ink spider with a sewn head with steampunk goggles along with a mechanical arm and rope with a satchel. He was looking at the pipe with curiosity, but then looks up at me. I jumped a bit as I backed up slowly, but the spider walked towards me. I then noticed that he wasn't attacking me. I stopped and kneeled down to his height. "Can.. Can you speak?", I asked the spider. He shakes his head no. I then realized that he looked familiar. "... Are you Edgar The Spider? The youngest member of The Butcher Gang?", I asked as he nods happily and claps his hands with delight.

I then smiled softly, and then looked at him from head to toe. He was corrupted, but he's still himself. Poor thing has been through so much. But... where are the other members? I then stood up and walked away, but then Edgar followed me. I look at him, and smiled softly. "Wanna come with me?", I asked him and he nods yes. "Alright then. We'll stick together then.", I said as we walked deeper into the studio. At least I have a new friend to keep me company. I hope that Mr. Henry's ok though.

A few minutes have passed, and we find the music department, but it's very dark though. Can't see a thing without the lights on. Edgar hugs my leg as he trembles. "Hey, it's ok, bud. I'm here, ok?", I try to calm him down by petting his head. He calms down a little, but holds onto my hand. I flip the light switch, and see a puddle of ink drop down from a pipe in front of us. I go closer to the puddle and an ink monster pops out of it. I yelp as I attack it. However, more monsters came out of their puddles too. I told Edgar to hide as he hid behind a barrel. I don't want the poor thing to get hurt. After i killed the last remaining monster, the door opens with music. What the hell is going on here?

{Henry's POV}
I drained the ink from the stairwell, and went back to the stairs. But then, I heard voices. Am I not alone? I went to go see, and I saw a (F/A) person in here as well. How did they get here? And.. what's that they have? I go towards them, and they look at me. ".... Are you... Henry Stein?", asked the (F/A) person. How do they know me? Does Linda know I'm missing? "Yes. I am. And you are?", I answered them. "My name is (Y/N) (L/N). Your wife is very worried about you, and... most people think you died here.", said (Y/N). People think I'm dead? How long was I here for? I look at the mutated spider, as they were cowering behind (Y/N). He must be the original member of The Butcher Gang, Edgar The Spider. "It's ok, fella. I'm not gonna hurt you. It's ok. See?", I said as I put down my axe. Edgar then feels a bit better as he smiles softly. I think this kid broke the cycle.
