(Boris pov)
Me and Nine were walking down a short hallway in silence,not even the usually creaky floor could be heard."So what's up with the robotic tails?"I asked, trying to break the silence."Just something I have..."He mumbled."Cool."I said as we approached an inky door.

"Why does it have w
ritings on it?"Nine asked.I looked at the door to see bold words in ink smeared onto the door."The ink Demon..."I mumbled."There's an ink demon?!"He exclaimed, looking up at me with an angry face."Please don't hurt me!"I said, putting my hands up in defense."I'm not."he said, annoyed, rolling his eyes.I lowered my ears and read the words on the door."Don't make a sound." I read aloud."What do you mean,don't make a sound?"Nine asked, looking up at my green eyes."I think it's one of Joey's new creations."I whispered, touching the door with my palm."Who is Joey?"He asked with a confused look on his face."Creator of the studio and anyone who lives here that doesn't look like a human."I said to him as I grabbed the door handle."Don't make a sound,"I whispered, opening it.He nodded and quietly opened the door.

We slowly walked inside to see a tall, inky creature, staring at us.It put a pointed finger up to its mouth and walked away.I looked back at Nine to see him frozen in terror.I waved my hand in front of his face.Nothing.'Why now?!'I thought to myself, looking down at my feet.I picked him up and positioned him so he was resting on my hip like a toddler and continued to walk around.I soon found a small trap door and walked toward it and read the words on it.'Tom's hideout?'I thought to myself,then it hit me.

'Tommy!'

My ears went up, and I silently opened the door, then went in and closed the door behind me.I climbed down a ladder and looked around to find just the person I was looking for."Hey Tom."I said, walking towards him.He jumped up from the sudden sound but then looked up at me and waved."Y-you can put me down now."Nine mumbled.I dropped him and looked over the area that we were in.

Tom then coughed,getting my attention.He pointed at Nine and then tilted his head."What?!"Nine snapped, puffing up his chest."Oh, he's just wondering who you are, He's mute, that's all."I said calmly,motioning for Tom to come over. "Oh,sorry about that..."He mumbled, looking at his feet.

(Nines pov)
I felt really stupid,till I remembered that he never said that he was mute. So it wasn't my fault."You could've said that like five minutes earlier!"I shouted as he jumped back his ears against his head."S-sorry..."He said panic in his eye.The wolf he called Tom and then barked.I looked up to see him growling at me.

I noticed that he looked a lot like Boris, almost identical.Then I noticed he had brown eyes instead of green eyes,he also had a more mechanical arm and more beaten up overalls."What?!"I growled back, looking.He pulled a whiteboard and marker and wrote on it.I looked back at Boris who was sitting on a chair reading a book. Tom then tapped my shoulder and I turned to him.I then read what it said.

'Don't yell at him,he has some mental problems. He also means well. its not like he's trying to mess up and make you mad'.

I sighed and walked up to him and sat down by him."What ya reading?"I asked softly.He looked up at me and tilted his head. "Aladdin..."He mumbled, looking down at his feet."Cool." I said with a small smile.He looked up and smiled slightly.Then there was a huge bang, and then a figure walked out.

"And who are you?"

(Yes! feel the pain of cliffhangers!)
