: Familiar Faces

"There we go now. Nice and tight. We wouldn't want our sheep roaming away now, would we? No, we wouldn't"

The six boys began to awaken, trying to get free from the figure's tight ropes.

"I must admit I am honored you came all the way down here to visit me. It almost makes what I'm about to do seem cruel"

The boys listened to him, but they were quite confused as to what he was talking about.

"But the believers must honor their savior. I must have him notice me"

The figure continued, laying Jeno's axe down nearby, then returning to the six.

"Sammy..."

Minhyung spoke, finally realizing who the figure was.

"Wait, how do you know my name? None of you look familiar to me... Those faces..."

Sammy moved closer to them to examine their faces, but soon shook his head, trying not to be distracted by them any longer.

"Not now. For our lord is calling to us, my little sheep. The time of sacrifice is at hand! And then, I will finally be freed from this...prison. This inky...dark...abyss I call a body. Shhhhh... Quiet! Listen!"

The group remained silent, hearing noises coming from above.

"I can hear him. Crawling above. Crawling! Let us begin. The ritual must be completed! Soon he will hear me...he will set us free"

Sammy then walked off into a room next to theirs, leaving the boys as some kind of sacrificial offering.

They tried getting loose again so Jeno could once again reclaim the axe and get them out of there.

The speakers suddenly came on, and Sammy began to speak through them, making the six boys freeze with fear.

"Sheep, sheep, sheep. It's time for sleep. Rest your head. It's time for bed. In the morning, you may wake. Or in the morning, you'll be dead"

They suddenly heard the noises above getting louder, and began struggling more.

"Hear me, Bendy! Arise from the darkness! Arise and claim my offering! Free me! I beg you!"

Sammy exclaimed, opening the gate in front of the boys.

"I summon you, Ink Demon! Show your face and take these tender sheep!"

The group suddenly heard a loud bang coming from the room Sammy was in, making them frantically struggle more.

"No! My lord! Stay back! I am your prophet! I am your- AAAHHH!!"

Sammy suddenly screamed, and a black substance leaked out of his door, terrifying the six.

Renjun was the only one who was able to get free, because of his small physique.
