" (Y/N), I'm going away for a while. Don't burn the house down. " Your dad called. It was this big business trip for his new job, working for Disney. He is a brilliant animator, with a horrible backstory...

" Ok, good luck! " You answered. You heard the door open, and shut again. Right when his car left the driveway, you knew it was your cue to watch Netflix as loud as you wanted. It isn't every day your dad leaves for a whole month. Why your dad trusts you alone for a whole month, you dunno. But hey, he's gone, and the tv was basically calling your name. You sat down, and, just as the moment couldn't get any better, the mail came. " You've got mail. " You said to yourself as you stood up to get it. There was, well, a letter for your dad.

You opened it, and skimmed through. " Joey. Huh. " It was inviting him to go back to the workshop. " Y'mean the place he almost got killed at? No, I am not letting my dad go to such a horrible place! " You said to no one in particular. " Because I'm going myself! " You nodded, and got into your car. You were probably speeding, most likely. No, you were definitely speeding. What should have taken two hours, only took about thirty minutes.

You opened the big doors, not surprised to see everything run down. " What kind of animation workshop has ink on the floor? " You took a step in. " And only two characters... " There were a ton of drawings along the wall, all of the same fictional characters your dad had in his office. You being the nosy one you are, you decided to look around. You tried to open a door, but it was locked. Actually, most of the doors were locked. You sighed. " How am I supposed to explore if everything's locked? " you tried the last door in the hallway, and it opened. It led to another hallway, and in the corner, a small desk with a cardboard cutout next to it. " They really do like this character.... " You reached out to touch it. " What is it? A cat? "  You kept walking. Not long after, a poster had the same character. " ' Bendy the dancing devil...' " You read aloud. " What the heck? I thought this was for kids! " You frowned. As you turned a corner, another cardboard cutout sat there. " How many of these do they have? " a light turned on in one of the locked rooms. " Hello? Joey? " You called. The light quickly turned out, as if nothing had happened. " Ohkay..... " You turned on your heel, almost running into a cardboard cutout. " Holy Crap! " You backed up against the wall. " I'm sorry Bendy! I just keep running into you! " You smile at your own joke. One room was titled ' The Ink Machine' " So this is where the magic happens... " You step in.    " Collect the offerings... " You walk out, just to see some simultaneously placed items. " Y'know I'm not even gonna ask... " You placed the items on the stands. A lever lit up and you pushed it. "There! To the Ink room!" You ran into what you thought was the Ink Machine room, but instead... " Oh my LORD there's a dead body! " A dog with his organs out was strapped to a table. " Boris the wolf... " You read aloud again. " Poor guy, what did they do to you? " You slowly back out, and back onto the trail. When you got to the actual ink room...

" Whuh? " It was boarded up. You went to get a closet look, but slipped on some ink. You prepared for the hard impact of the floor, but instead, you felt two hands catch you. Two, wet, oversized hands. You were kinda scared to look at what it was....
