[BATIM Fanfic Stories] Butcher Love - The Butcher Gang x Reader

Chapter 2

(I forgot to mention that this book is a mix of BATIM & BATDR, so if you haven't already seen BATDR or BATIM or even both, please go see before reading this book!)

(Charley's POV)
I didn't know what to expect from the kid in all honesty. They seem nice. They take care of Edgar as if he was their only family. Maybe like a baby brother... or a son at most times. "I just don't know how to describe them. They're so wonderful.. so- Wait... no, Charley. You just met them. You can't be serious right now.", I thought to myself. Right now, (Y/N) and Edgar are sleeping in a different room while Henry, Boris and Barley are playing cards. Me, on the other hand, I'm just sitting on a chair. Doing nothing. "Do you have a three?", asked Barley. "Go Fish.", replied Henry as Barley groaned in annoyance while taking another card and Boris snickers.

I chuckled and stood up while looking for (Y/N). I get there and I see them with Edgar on their chest. It's cute to see them like this. Especially when (Y/N) is sleeping like this. I went to them as I pet Edgar's head softly. Apparently, he wakes up slowly and looks up at me with soft raspy noises. "Hey, Ed. You ok?", I whispered. He nods slowly and sits up while rubbing his eyes. I look at (Y/N) with a soft smile, and sit down next to them. But then I fell asleep. Didn't know I was this tired.

Twenty five minutes later... (NO ONE'S POV)
"Well I think that be a good game for now, laddies.", said Barley. "You're right. We should get going. I'll go see how Charley, Edgar and (Y/N) are doing.", said Henry as he walks to the other room. As he got there, they were asleep. Henry smiled softly and shakes them up gently. "Mmmm.. Five more minutes, mum.", mumbled (Y/N). Henry chuckled softly as he shakes them gently again. They finally wake up. "Oh.. so it wasn't a dream.", said (Y/N) as Charley and Edgar wake up as well. "Time to go already?", said Charley as Edgar gets off of (Y/N) and stretches.

They head a hallway and go through a big room full of toys. "Heavenly Toys?", asked (Y/N) as they walk around. Suddenly, they hear something, and look up. "Oh no. Everyone hide! It's the Ink Demon!", exclaimed Henry as everyone hides. Except one. (Y/N) was still out in the open. "(Y/N), what are you doing? Go hide!", whispered Henry as (Y/N) wasn't listening to him. The Ink Demon saw (Y/N), and ran towards them. However, they weren't running. They stood their ground. The Ink Demon then stops slowly and stares at (Y/N), confused on why they aren't scared of him. "Why aren't they running?!", whispered Barley as Charley shrugged with a worried look. (Y/N) walks towards the Ink Demon and puts their hand on his cheek. "WhY aReN't YoU aFrAid Of Me?", asked the Ink Demon. "Because I know how it feels, Bendy. To be a freak. I'm always like that outside in the real world.", replied (Y/N) as the Ink Demon was shocked. Everyone else was too.

The Ink Demon then turns into Cartoon Bendy with tears rolling down his cheeks, and hugs (Y/N). They hug back and hum a familiar tune. Edgar comes out and hugs Bendy, then he hugs back tightly. Everything was calm till we heard the intercom feedback. "Attention, Children Of The Machine, this is Wilson. Your leader. Your protector. For two hundred and eleven days, you haven't seen the Ink Demon following your steps. I banished him away. Split his body into two. Now to return a favor from all of you. Among you all, there is a stranger. A young (F/A) child. Bring them to me.", said Wilson as the intercom stops. "Who was that? And how does he know that I'm here?", asked (Y/N) with a slightly worried look. "That's Wilson. He claims that he killed the Ink Demon when he never did. Fortunately, the Ink Demon is mostly protected towards you, (Y/N). He can't hurt you or us at all.", replied Henry as Bendy looked at (Y/N) with a smile.

(Barley's POV)
We walked for God knows how long, but it seems we have reached a dead end. "What now? Why is the wall like that?", asked Charley with a disappointed face. I got out my wrench and hit the brick wall as it breaks, leaving a massive hole. "Huh. Good job, Barley!", said (Y/N) with a warm smile. I looked at them and chuckled, "It's no problem, kid.". Bendy hid behind Henry as he was scared. "Don't be scared, Bendy. I'm here, ok?", said Henry as he pats his head. Bendy smiles and nods.
(Y/N) and Edgar go to a door, but as soon as (Y/N) opens it, ShipAhoy Dudley comes out with a ear-piercing screech. They scream as well getting everyone's attention. "(Y/N)?!", shouted Charley as Bendy turns into his Ink Demon form and runs towards them. (Y/N) picks up Edgar and runs, protecting Edgar with their life. I can see that Edgar was scared of him. "WHAT THE HELL?!", shouted (Y/N) as they trip on a wire, dropping Edgar as he made worried raspy noises. They tried to get up, but then Dudley grabs them. "BENDY, HELP!!", they screamed as Bendy tackles Dudley, dropping (Y/N) in the process. Edgar runs towards them with worried raspy noises and hugs them tightly. I ran towards ShipAhoy Dudley and Bendy as I throw my wrench at Dudley. He stops and slowly turns to me. I wasn't scared of him, but I was scared for my family getting hurt. Dudley walks towards me as (Y/N) looks at me with worry. I just hope they get out as much as I want to also.
