Shattered Destiny (BendyMouse)

Chapter 14

Bendy POV:

We had been traveling for what seemed like hours when we reached a door. Placed outside was canvases and inside was a lost one. The words "Don't Knock" were written upon the window of the door. 

No knocking huh? But we need answers. 

I sighed looking over to Audrey and Mick, who shrugged in response. I look around the room searching for any sign around. The only way around the door would be to use the ink of the studio to teleport. 

As far as I am aware Audrey, nor Mickey for that matter, had the ability to teleport using ink. So the only way through is through the door.

I turn back to Audrey and then to the door. She was the tallest after all and could easily knock.

B:Audrey could you do the honors and knock on the door?

A: Sure, but the sign?

B: We'll have to ignore it if we wish to continue. 

A: Alrighty then!

Audrey then turns to the door knocking. A lost one pops his head out the window, as he began to talk nonsense.

(Lost One: LO)

LO: Hello? Phil is that you? I told you not to come back until you have my paintings! Where are my paintings?!

He continued on like that, as if he didn't even realize we were there. After he was finished he jolted back, slamming the window shut, he made his exit. 

As Audrey and I stood to stunned to speak, Mick looked as though he was deep in thought. His gloved finger was to his lips and his eyebrows frowned. I thought that the Lost one had said something to offend Mick. Well, that was until he turned to the canvases. It was at that time it struck all of us, the canvases were blank!. 

Now I understand what the Lost Ones gibberish meant. We needed to find those paintings in order to pass.

This seemed to be understood by everyone as Mick, Audrey, and I shared a nod of acknowledgement. Without a way to go forward, that only place left to venture was back. 

...

It took a while but we were finally able to gather every last painting. I looked at Audrey and again she knocked on the door. Though, the response we ended up with this time was way different from the one we got last time. The Lost One didn't speak, instead he charged full speed ahead at us holding a pipe in his hands.

Uhhh, after all this time gathering those paintings, and this is how he repays us!

Stepping aside, Mick and I let Audrey reach out with her own pipe to strike him. He crashed as me and Mick turned away, Audrey then touched the Lost one absorbing his ink and freeing him from existence. 

After she had finished, it was time for us to carry on. We gathered some supplies from inside the Lost One's home and continued down the next hall. At the end of this hall was a split. We paused looking between one another of what to do next.

I not being in my ink demon form made me weaker, and not able to protect Mick as I needed to. However, Audrey had her powers, as well as a weapon. With that my decision was final, Mick would go with Audrey.

B: Audrey, you and Mick go right and I will go left.

A: Do you really think splitting up is the best idea?

B: At this point in time there's a split, and I feel as though Mick would be a lot safer with you. 

M: But Bens, I thought I was sticking with you?
