The Inky World Of The Ink Machine

Chapter 18 - A Deal with the Devil

(Y/N)

Roxana, who was walking like an animal, went out of our room, ignoring everyone in here. Before she teleported away, Henry ran up to her. She told him:

"Please, stay away from this freak, Henry. I'll tell Bendy what happened. Open him the door if he comes. He will probably want to see your wounds. Your his dad after all."

"Thanks for the care, Roxana. I'll be waiting for him.", said Henry.

That's when she disappeared. Henry stood up. He stared at Flynn, who was laying unconscious in the broken stairs. I would like to smash all the stairs and block his way out. Why did we had to include him into this crew.

I went to Henry and asked him, if he was alright. He told me that he was okay. We couldn't believe what just happened.

I asked him, if he knew where a clock was. He heard what Roxana demanded. He knew why I asked. He told me that he didn't saw any clocks, but maybe someone wore one. I asked everybody. No one had.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door. It was Bendy. We opened him the door, almost everybody being scared. As Bendy entered, he hung on a wall a clock. A Bendy-clock. Roxana must have told him about her plans.

Allison thanked him for the clock. It showed 1 a.m. It was so late? Bendy, as I thought, checked Henry's wounds. He asked him if he should take him from here. Henry told him, that he didn't have to. And so, Bendy stayed with us for three hours.

He was talking to Sammy, a bit with Allison and Tom, but most partly with his dad. It was 4 a.m. I wanted to ask Bendy for some answers, but would it be okay? Like, look. I am completely new to him, he is literally giving me creeps and I don't know how to start.

I was tired. I wanted to fell asleep. It's not like any beds are here. None. I thought I would go to the projector room. To my surprise there was a pillow, a mattress and a blanket too. Like someone new I wanted to sleep.

Footsteps could be heard, creaks of the floor, of the door. I turned around. It was him. The Ink Demon. He went into the room, closing to door behind him. He sat down on the floor, me being on the mattress under the blanket.

"You are a (Y/N), right?", asked me Bendy.

His voice, as well as his being was giving me an uncomfortable feeling.

"Yes, I am. You...must be...Bendy, right?"

He nodded. He then started to ask me:

"Do you have an idea, why my sister asks you to meet her?"

I would ask him the same question, but if he asked me about it and he brought us a clock, then he had to know the purpose, why she asked me. So I told him:

"No, I don't. We never met before. It was...weird. I didn't expect it from her."

"Do you know that she was spying on you the whole time?"

What? She was spying on me? So that's why she was there in the first place. I shaked my head. I then asked him about if he could tell me her purpose.

"Well, she wanted that I'll tell nothing to you. She wants it to be a surprise for some reason. The only thing she told me was...that she doesn't want to hurt you. Only to talk. And I think, you want that too."

"Yes, I want to talk to her. I wanted to help her, but I thought it would be too hard for me to even convince her. That's why I left it."

Bendy nodded, stood up and hold the doorhandle. Before he left, he told me to get some sleep because I would need it. Well, I had nothing else planned. He left, closing the door behind him. My head was so hard, that I let it fell on the pillow. I closed my eyes and slept.

I woke up in my dream, but I wasn't myself. I was being someone else. I didn't saw my face yet.

The room had light-blue walls, one window, a wooden door next to the bed, a table with a dark-pink chair, that was slightly painted black on the top of it, also a brown chair next to the table, a shelf above the bed and three wardrobes.

On one of the wardrobes was a TV. I looked at it like a mirror. I looked at myself. I was...Roxana. That was her bedroom. I wentout of the room, not controlling my actions anymore. It was like my dream was her flashback.

I went through a hallway with yellow walls and entered the living room. On the couch sat a woman with blue eyes and black hair, that were in a bun. She wore a gray sweet shirt, black leggings, round earrings and a black clock around her left arm.

I, being Roxana, went to her, hugged her and greeted her as "Mom". So that was her mother. Then I guess it was her father, entering the room, wearing blue jeans, white socks and a white Jordan T-shirt. Her "Dad" had green eyes.

I wondered what eye color Roxana had. Through the TV I couldn't see the eye color.

Last, but not least, a little girl ran up to her. She had blue eyes, long blonde hair and banks on the front of her head. She wore her pajama, which was white with gray stars, and unicorn slippers. She called her "Sister". That was her human family.

I saw also a cat with white-orange fur and two chinchillas in a cage, which stood in the hallway. After sometime I went to the bathroom and looked at my eyes. They were green. Now I forgot my own eye color, but I think it was (E/C).

We sat down at the table and ate our breakfast. I was so happy 'cause for breakfast we ate (F/F). It was delicious.

But in a way or another...it had to come to an end.

I woke up on my mattress, but I wasn't in the projector room anymore. I was at HeavenlyToys. How did I get here? I looked at the floor. Next to me layed a clock. It showed 10:27 a.m! That was bad. That was really bad! What if Roxana got pissed. I was in trouble. I was in big trouble! Then, a familiar voice spoke to me. It was Roxana's voice.

"You're finally awake. Don't worry. I ain't mad. I want only the best from ya. If I want a good conversation, then I let you sleep till the end."

I was shocked. She wasn't mad? I wasn't in trouble? Again, everything is possible. And besides, I don't know her well. I thanked her for letting me sleep.

"You don't have to thank me.", she said, coming closer to me.

She eventually sat down on the mattress and look at me. She then continued talking.

"So, I brought you here. I want...to make a deal with you."

"A...deal?", I asked.

I didn't knew what she wanted from me. And why a deal?

"Yup. A deal. So listen carefully. I want you to get the information I want from an old friend of mine."

"Why can't you go to your such called friend?"

"I think Sammy told you about our little fight, didn't he?"

"You mean Dimitri?"

"Exactly. I want you to get everything out of him. I want him to feel my revenge. You might ask, why would you want to take revenge only because of a little fight. Well, it wasn't only the fight. See, as we came here we started to be better friends. Friends...(giggles) to believe we were once. He did so many things against me behind my back. Now it's my turn. Thanks to you, I can do it. Now I'll ask you back. What would you like in return, (Y/N)?"

"I...I...want you to let everybody out of this studio after you'll take your revenge."

"I like that. So? It's a deal then?", asked Roxana.

I thought a bit, but then I took her hand.

"Deal."
