The Inky World Of The Ink Machine

Chapter 3 - Weird things that shouldn't happen

I noticed Jack being scared of Bendy so much, that he couldn't last here any longer. He dropped the missing valve as he disappeared. Bendy grabbed it and pointed with his finger into the direction behind me, saying:

"Let's get out of here. I've heard Sammy somewhere and I don't want to meet him today."

I turned around, went with him out of the tunnel and walked to the infirmary, where he put the missing valve on its place. After it, Bendy turned the flowing ink off. I asked him:

"Why did you say today?"

"You mean Sammy?"

"Yes, exactly. Why today? Is he sometimes...I don't know."

"It's just that Sammy is being on a go today. It ain't about sacrifices so I'm ok with it. But the thing is, he's been really upset these days. One day I was only passing the Music Department as suddenly I saw a dead Butcher Gang member, who got thrown out of the recording room. Sammy was pissed. As he came out of the room, it seemed like he hold his anger. I think I'm still for him his Lord. Otherwise he might have attacked me."

"What happened to him?"

"Wilson."

I didn't had to ask any further questions. As I heard the name Wilson, I didn't need anything more.

We went upstairs to the office of the music director, Sammy Lawrence. Luckily he wasn't there. One of us, who wanted to be Bendy, had to pull the pump-switch that would drain the ink in front of the exit.

I also remembered, that the radio in this room played my favourite song Build Our Machine.

I asked Bendy if it was ok if I would turn the radio on. He nodded. So I turned it on and listened to the music. Again something weird happened. Bendy knew it too that something was odd.

The radio indeed played the music, but in reverse. We stared at it for a bit. I believed, that it wasn't the only radio. I didn't listened to the first one as I collected the record.

"Bendy? Does since some time the radios play music in reverse?", I asked.

He thought for a few seconds and nodded. Weird. Something or someone was doing this. I thought, maybe it was me. I turned back to Bendy. He looked frustrated. I asked him:

"Does it all happened before I came?"

As Bendy wanted to answer, someone else answered it before him, sounding pissed.

"Those things started to happen before you came, young girl. Oh...hello M'Lord."

I recognized that voice. I turned around and saw Sammy in front of the door. He looked as pissed as I imagined him to be.

I didn't wanted to to be rude, so I thanked him. Bendy looked down at me, then at Sammy and then at the ceiling. Something was wrong. He felt something or someone's present.

"We should move on.", told us Bendy.

Both me and Sammy nodded. We exited the room and went towards the exit as suddenly something hit my head. I fell to the ground, my head hurting.

I couldn't get up. I was feeling weak. I could only hear voices in the background, my eyes closed. That's when Sammy shouted:

"YOU! Stay back! Whatever you try to do, we will not let you do it! Do you understand?!"

"Samuel Lawrence. (evil laugh) Do you really think you can stop me? You're pathetic. Just like Alice. Wait! Isn't Alice...you know...your girl Susie. (more evil laughs) YOU ARE NOTHING COMPERED TO ME!!! I AM YOUR BIGGEST NIGHTMARE!!!"

I've heard Bendy growl. He had enough of this chit chat. He roared, yelling:

"GEEET OUT OF HEEEERE!"

Who was that guy, that did all does things to them? And why didn't they tell me? Maybe because they have thought it was to early for me to know. But they had such a big problem. Why not asking for help?

I was unconscious again. Gosh, this shit can't live without me.

What is happening? I can feel someone picking me up. It doesn't feel like it's Bendy. His hands feel like from a human. I feel a necklace jump up and down, hitting my chest. It can't be Sammy.

Who is this?

I couldn't wake up as I was unconscious, but I sometimes felt. Sometimes I didn't. Before I fell unconscious, I feel. I'm thinking.

Then I slowly stop feeling and thinking. Finally, I'm at my unconscious state and I wake up a big amount of time later.

That's weird how I do or my body does it. I hoped Bendy and Sammy were doing fine.

I woke up in a room where actually Sammy would try to sacrifice Henry to Bendy. Instead it was me. But I wasn't tied up.

I looked around the room. No one was there. I tried to sneak out from the room, but I got stopped by a male voice, saying:

"You won't go away so fast."

It came from a dark corner. As I started to walk towards the corner, he shouted:

"Don't come any closer to me! I don't want you to know who I am right now. I think I'll tell you later."

It sounded...familiar. This voice...I've heard it before. It still was suspicious that he hid in the shadows. I asked him:

"Do you know about this whole situation? Besides...your voice sounds familiar to me."

"No I don't. I came here a half hour ago. I don't even know who that guy was, who hit you in your head, but he wasn't friendly to your companions. He attacked them, after the demon yelled on him. I used the situation and took you from there. I wanted you safe."

Why would an unknown person want me safe? I just don't get it.

"Can you maybe tell me your name?, I asked.

"No."

"Why not?"

"If I would tell you my name, then you would know who I am."

"And why can't I know you? Why do you hide yourself from me?"

He didn't answer. I tried to come closer to him, being as quiet as possible to not let him know, but he heard my footsteps. He told me:

"No no no. Don't you dare come any closer to me. I have an idea. Tell me the guy's name of who you thought I might be. Maybe you'll be right. Just try. You have nothing to lose."

I took a deep breath and let it out. I then said the name.

"Dimitri?"

"Ugh. (Dimitri comes out of the dark) Yes, it's me. How did you know? And sorry for that."

"Don't worry. It's ok. Also, I've never heard someone else with a simular voice of yours."

"I take that as a compliment.", he said. I giggled under my nose.

"How did you get here?", I asked. Dimitri looked at me and said:

"You didn't came back that afternoon. WE were worried about you. But this stupid sister didn't even care if you were missing or not. She told us to let it be. I couldn't. As everybody was sleeping, I went out of my room and looked around yours. I've found your note about this place and went here. As I entered it, I got hit and fell unconscious. I woke up here and started to look for you and the rest you know. I hope you're fine."
