The Inky World Of The Ink Machine

Chapter 26 - Angry too

I ran as fast as I could. How could he?!

"ROXI, WAIT!"

I heard him run behind him.

"Get lost!"

I ran faster.

Faster.

Faster....

Faster.......

Faster...............I teleported to his lair.

"BENDY!"

I screamed. Bendy...was covered in golden ink. I noticed Henry cleaning him from this ink. He looked scared. My biggest fear...it came.

I fear the most of losing the people that are important to me. My family, my best friends,...Di-

_Shut up, Roxana! He isn't important! He tried to kill your brother!_

_But what if it was an accident?_

...

It was possible. He touched the golden ink. He could have attacked him by accident 'cuz he got scared. No matter. I had to help my family.

Oh Dad, Mom, Sis...if you were here...

"I'm so sorry. It was an accident. I swear! I didn't meant to-"

"You didn't meant to?"

"Roxi, please, just here me out-"

"DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME ROXI!"

In a second, Dimitri was on the floor, bleeding. His blood was on my hands. I looked at them. They were still covered in ink, but my veins were to be seen.

They were red like normal blood. I turned around to Bendy and Henry. Henry layed unconscious on the floor. Bendy still covered in the ink. I touched the ink.

It started to disolve.

This new blood...it was stronger then this golden ink. I cleaned Bendy from this ink. He didn't had wounds. Nothing. Could it be that this blood only trapped him?

Henry woke up. He was relieved as he saw Bendy without the golden ink. Bendy woke up, being happy. He told me he was proud of me. He said that this blood is unique.

Then Dimitri moved a little. Then stopped. I was so angry at him. I wanted to kill him!

_Stop, BITCH! Let him go! It was an accident!_

_Was it?_

_It could be. Look! He-_

_He tried to hide it from me! Why am I even arguing with myself?!_

_'Cause I'm scared I'm going to do a wrong move._

"I...I'm...so...sorry, R-roxi. I never...meant...any harm."

I couldn't anymore. I came to my knees. I hurt him. Bendy was only trapped in that golden ink. Right?

"You hurted him?", asked Bendy.

"Yes. I did."

"I understand your anger. I have to say, and that's very honest, we started to be on better terms with each other."

"Wait. You and him?"

"It was before he touched the golden ink. I tried to get an explanation out of him why he had teamed up with Wilson and Typhon. He told me he was scared you were under my spell, that I would use you to kill people. I told him that it was bullshit."

"How did he react?"

"He couldn't believe what he had done. He apologized for being so mean. Even though I think he is sometimes lying to himself."

"And what's with the golden ink. Was it an accident?"

"It was. He got scared as I popped right in front of him. He didn't meant to and he used his power. I thought it would hurt me but no. It was only a trap. Not an attack. He started to fear himself and locked himself in that room where (Y/N) found him."

I turned around to Dimitri. He was still bleeding. He was ashamed of myself.

"Don't blame yourself, sister. You didn't knew what he was up to. The only thing you can do, is to help him."

"I'll help you", told me Henry.

We both bandaged his wounds. It reminded me of the very beginning were we first met at the studio.

"Oh my.... Dimitri! You're bleeding!"

"...There is an infirmary. I can take from there some bandages."

"Could you please hold your T-shirt? Only for a few minutes for me to bandage you."

My heart skipped a beat. What the hell?! Even though I was mad, I still loved him? This shit is crazy!

"R-...Roxi?"

"I told you to stop call me-"

He layed his right hand on my left cheek. I felt my cheeks heat up. He smiled.

"Thank you for the damage. (tries to laugh) I needed it to help me blame myself for everything I've done. I'm angry at myself."

"You shouldn't be.", said Henry.

"Why? I-"

"You did nothing wrong. It was a huge misunderstanding. You only feared of losing her. Nothing more. You attacked Bendy by accident, but it wasn't an attack. It was a trap. He wasn't hurt."

"Did you hear all of our conversation, Henry?"

"Yes. (giggles) I did."

Dimitri took his hand from my cheek. He then hugged Henry tight. He whispered him a thank you. Henry whispered back.

"Hey, Dimitri."

He looked at me.

"I'm sorry for hurting you. I was just angry and I-...I-"

"It's ok. I understand."

"You do?"

"I do."

We smiled. I hugged Dimitri. I was glad. But I felt something. I had a feeling that we had forgotten something. Then the lightbulb came.

"(Y/N)!", shouted Dimitri and me.

"You better go. Don't worry about me. Dad is going to take care of me."

"Who said I'm going to take care of you? (laughs)"

We waved and teleported to the old Gent building. We looked around and noticed (Y/N) standing in front of us. She was mad.

"How long where you here waiting for us?", I asked.

"An hour! Why did you leave?"

"Dude, you needed two hours and I don't know how more."

"Oh...fair enough then. And what were those creatures? They were scary!"

"Keepers."

We started to move on and went into the direction of the cyclebreakers room, meanwhile explaining (Y/N) what happened.
