Revival Darling (Bendy x Reader x Ink Demon)

Chapter 18: The Keepers

Y/N's mind processed what happened while she sat on the ground. She slowly stood up and grabbed her Gent Pipe along the way. She quickly checked the wall where Bendy disappeared too along with the Ink Demon and she saw that there was a puddle of ink. Nothing else. However, when Y/N touched the wall, it did nothing. She felt devastated. Bendy was now fighting against the Ink Demon instead of being here to protect her. She didn't know that Bendy had a dark secret and that was that. He was like a gorilla, I mean by running. While Y/N felt tears running down her cheeks, it was instead inky tears instead of normal ones. But then she looked determined. She needed to save Bendy this time! And that's what she's gonna do.

She entered the building and thank the ink that she wasn't confronted yet by The Keepers. She didn't want to be the next victim of being hanged just like the poor Lost Ones that she saw. She needed to keep moving. On her way, her Gent Pipe got upgraded and now she had a shock Gent Pipe, which meant that she can shock the enemies. She also found a tape that caught her that people were paid to die. Huh? How so? Why were they paid to die? When you die, you're never coming back to life. Unless you believe in reincarnation. It's a practiced belief that dead ones return as new living beings with no memories at all. It's beautiful but everyone had their thoughts about it. 

Y/N also needed to find a code where she can continue on her own to save Bendy. She finally saw the numbers she was looking for when she 'teleported'. The numbers were 523. She teleported again, typed the code in and the doors opened. she felt proud of herself and how far she was by now. However, when she walked towards the opening, she was terrified by a face on the screen. Was that The Keeper? He looked ugly as ink. He also made creepy sounds. "Anomaly detected.," The Keeper began. "New subject designation required. What are you? What is your purpose?"

Y/N felt scared at first but since she didn't want to be a victim, she decided to answer all the questions The Keeper will ask. "My name is Y/N! I'm not here to cause you any trouble! Look, I just want to go home! Please, can you help me?"

"Feisty. Erratic. Dangerous. We've not seen one like this before."

Y/N couldn't believe what she heard. The Keeper already finds her a dangerous one instead of getting to know her first. She tried further, hoping to get help. "I'm sure we can reach an agreement. Let's just talk. Who are you?" Her face was serious.

"We are the Keepers. Order. Control. Eternal. We serve the many by serving the one. The machine must endure."

Y/N's went too serious to a shock one. That's the Keeper that everyone warned her about? Especially Alice and Bendy? He indeed looked dangerous but what does he do to cause harm? If it's a huge Keeper, then Y/N can't banish him away by sure. That's when a loose vent caught her attention. She could sneak in! But first, she must wait. Her face went serious again. "Where did you come from?"

The Keeper only let out an "Ah". What's that kind of an answer?

"Who made you?" Y/N demanded.

To Y/N's shock, it was Wilson who made the Keepers. She asked the Keeper if he could take her to him. But his response was that she was much too dangerous and activated the toxic smoke in the air. Y/N couldn't believe what he did and began to cough. She immediately went to the loose vent, broke it with her Gent Pipe, and crawled in. While she crawled, she heard the Keeper commanding everyone to execute Y/N on sight. This wasn't good at all. She needed to avoid the Keepers at all costs! when Y/N finally crawled out, she found the full sight of the Keeper very horrifying as if it was from a horror movie. 

She had to crouch to make fewer noises all the way and even found a tape left by the Keeper as well. He talked about experiments but Y/N couldn't understand more. She pulled the lever down and the doors opened up for her. She quickly and quietly went in there but oh boy, did she falsely think that there were no Keepers. There it was roaming around again. She quickly found the vent again and crawled in. She had to reach upstairs where her destination was but as she pulled the lever down, she couldn't.

"That's where the ghosts live," a female voice responded and it was a... Lost One?
