Inky Dismay

Chapter 5

It was unbelievable...no one in the studio wanted to accept it. But what's grief, without denial?

As if two weeks ago. Joey revealed that Evelyn Rodgers...has passed. No one knew how or where. Hell, there wasn't even a body. But she was gone, like she just stopped existing entirely. Norman was completely in distraught, his fiancé, the woman he fell in love with, was ripped away from him in seconds. He hasn't came out of projector room in days...

Everyone in the studio have became...more lifeless. Which would make perfect sense, their coworker and friend died. Or at least that's what Joey said. It was suspicious that only he knew before anyone, but everyone was too depressed to even consider anything. It took a pretty bad toll on Henry, especially when he was there to give Evelyn's speech at her funeral. She always joked that she wanted Henry to give her famous last words when they were younger, and he fulfilled her wishes...he just never expected it to be this soon...

He hasn't been seen since then. 

Tommy was extremely heartbroken when received the news from his father...Evelyn was the only mother figure he had in life. Evelyn helped take care of him whenever Sammy was to busy...and she was there for him whenever his father was being an asshole.  Tommy didn't feel the same anymore. He was beginning to lash out more, even at simple mistakes. He would feel bad about it after though. 

William was no better than the rest of the studio. He's already lost his mother from cancer, and now one of his close friend was gone. The once sunshine man was nothing but dreary cloud. He has completely stopped talking, to everyone. The only words leaving his mouth was "Yes" "No" or "Hello". 

And Joey. Didn't fucking care. 

He acted like nothing was wrong!

Like...Like some heartless monster?!

And Tommy had enough of it. He's seen the place from it's beginning. But he will end it if he haves to. He was so SICK of Joey's bullshit. So many lives have been so screwed up because of his choices, and then he acts like his workers are the issue?! No. Tommy isn't gonna let that slide. Not anymore. 

Tommy began leaving the orchestra room, towards Joey's office. This with the intent to not back down from Joey's vengeful eyes. But. He did not get far. Sammy had grabbed him by the arm, successfully stopping the young boy.  Tommy whipped his head around, confused at his father's actions. 

Before Tommy could say anything Sammy had dragged him to a back room of the orchestra room. "Dad what are you doing?" Tommy asked looking at his father. Sammy looked around the room before looking back at his son "I know what your trying to do." Sammy said his eyes now locking with his sons. Tommy looked at his father but didn't see the same man, he noticed something different about him.

"What do you mean, I'm going to stop Joey and his escapade of bullshit." Tommy said looking at his father confused. Sammy grabbed his sons shirt tightly "I cant let you take my lord away from me..." Sammy had whispered to Tommy. Tommy freaked out by this goes to pull away from his dad, but his fathers grip on his shirt pulls him back Sammy's other hand grabbing a bottle of ink on a side table. 

Sammy then tries forcing the ink down his sons throat "Drink it son. Drink it and be reborn" Sammy said through his maniac like laugh. Tommy heart started racing he felt his adrenaline rush through his body he punched his dad off him. "Did...did you just hit me?" Sammy said shocked.  A small grin appeared on Sammy's face as he started laughing uncontrollably . 

"Now I'm gonna show you my lord and he's going to devour you my little sheep!!" Sammy yelled through his laugh as he charged at his son. Tommy looks around in a rush before grabbing a violin and slamming it into his fathers head knocking him seemingly unconscious. 

"Holy shit..." Tommy dropped the violin, sliding to his knees as he checked over his father for any wounds. God...What did he do? And what the hell was his father mumbling about? 

Tommy got closer to his father, but was surprised when his face was hit with a dusting pan. Tommy hissed in pain, but he had no time to process it as his father jumped on him. Tommy gritted his teeth as he held Sammy back, his heart pounding in his chest. 

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU-" a punch was delivered to his face, cutting him off. And then there was another punch...making his nose bleed. He weakly scooted back away from his father, but he was trapped...

"You should have listened to me Tommy...you should have listened...But now you've forced my hand...I'm sorry. But I do this out of love." Sammy said with a blank face as he neared his son. 

"STAY BACK!! FUCKING-GET AWAY FROM ME!!" Tommy shouts as he tried to push off his father off him once more. Sammy only kneed him in the side. Tommy cough and gasped as the air left his body, but he felt his hair be pulled back. His smokey grey eyes widen his disbelief and fear as his father forced the bottle down his throat.

"Drink It." Sammy said in a hushed tone

It tasted absolutory horrendous...

The back thick substance flowed through Tommy's throat as he suffocated.

He couldn't breath. 

It hurt

It BURNED

Tommy finally managed to rip away his father's grip on him. He coughed and hacked as leftover ink dripped from his lips. He felt sick. He felt so...weak...

Tommy blurrily looked at his father, who was sinisterly smiling. Tommy couldn't even work up the strength to be feel rage. All he could do was taste the ink, and watch as blackdots cover his vision. 

"W-w...what the-e hell did you d-do to me?!" Tommy weakly yelled. But silence greeted him. Then he heard his father chuckle.

"Soon you will see little Tommy. I shall have you by my side as our lord graces our life. Let the ink become you...be the ink Tommy...Goodnight little sheep~" Sammy creepily states. 

That was the last thing Tommy could hear...his vision getting darker and darker....

Before nothing but the black void of his conscious greeted him...
