INKNESS - a BABTQFTIM fanfiction

5. It's my Fault, isn't it?

Lying awake in the stiff bed she forced herself to endure the night before, Bianca felt her stomach run circles and fold in on itself as if trying to eat itself. Bianca knew she was hungry, but she couldn't bother clambering out of bed. She already knew their hotel room's fridge was empty so if she wanted to eat, she would have to wake up Bendy and Boris to drag them into town for some food.

Bianca grumbled as she ran her hands down her face, her stomach echoing her groan.

Throwing the thin bed sheets off her body, she flung her legs over the side of the bed. Holding her head in her right hand she felt the world spin for a moment or three. "Got up too quickly..." She grumbled to herself as she felt the world still once more.

"Bendy! Boris! Get up! We need to head out and grab food!" Bianca yelled as she slid her jacket over her tank top. Taking a small whiff of the clothing she drew her head back instantly. She really needed to wash these and soon.

Brushing her hair out of her face she stepped into the kitchen to find neither of her brothers had gotten out of bed yet. Grumbling once more, she turned on her heel and made her way to her brother's shared room. As she expected they were both still in bed and slightly snoring.

Bianca chuckled deviously as she pulled the pillow out from Bendy's head and smacked him with it. It didn't stop there as she hit him two or three more times before flinging the pillow at Boris. "I said get up you lazy butts!" Bianca laughed as the two boys barely slid out of bed, sleep still in their eyes.

"Do you guys want food or not? I'm happy to ditch ya and go for myself~!" Bianca teased as she turned on her heel and headed straight for the hotel door. She smirked as she heard the erratic movement from their room as her brothers rushed to change and throw some shoes on.

Slowly opening the hotel door open, she chuckled at the echoing creaks the door gave off. Bianca loved teasing and tormenting her younger siblings.

It was only a few more beats before her siblings were standing next to her. "Oh? I see you guys changed your mind? Let's go then!" Bianca smiled innocently as she stepped out the door and then to the side so her siblings could walk out. Another innocent smile as she locked the hotel room behind her, sliding the key into the inside pocket of her jacket.

Bianca gestured for her siblings to take the lead down the stairs, her following not too far behind.

As they left the hotel, Bianca waved the kind desk worker a quick goodbye before fully departing the building. Turning to look back at her siblings, she broke the comfortable silence with a question that was boding them all. "So... What are we gonna get for breakfast?"

Her question was answered with more silence as they walked on the footpaths lining the streets. Bianca couldn't stop the deadpan from creeping onto her face as she should've expected such from her indecisive siblings. "Cool, cool... I'll just pick some random stall or store I see on the side of the road." Bianca breathed out sarcastically.

Step after step. At some point they passed the still inflated tent they were at the day before. Biting her lip, she hoped the incident hadn't weighed too much on the circus crew's consciousness', specifically Oswald's.

"Bianca. Do you have any clue where we're actually going?" Bendy hissed as they were basically walking around ToonTown aimlessly. Scoffing, Bianca smirked at Bendy. "My amazing sense of direction and smell won't let us down. And when have you ever doubted me?" Bianca only needed to see both Boris and Bendy raise an eyebrow. "Don't answer that." She stated as she turned back around to keep walking.

A familiar face came into view a few blocks later. Mugman! She never really knew what happened to him since she saw him in the cafe a few days ago.

"Mugs!" Bianca called out with a wave, her arm slowly resting at her side once again when she saw the unfamiliar figure next to him. They did look similar. Maybe the one in red was related to him?
