Female!Reader X Bendy ( Beautiful Black )

Last stop - The Ink Machine

Everything started with a letter, a one that Bendy faked in order to lure Henry and bring him to the workshop, and somehow turn on the ink machine. So many things happened, they lost the track of time, they believed time has frozen after they stepped their feet into the Workshop of Joey Drew Studios, searching for the man who thought the one who wrote him the letter. Searching for a father who left home for a long time. Searching for the creator, who brought the Toons to life. To that individual who was sitting in the dark, watching and observing the show. The one behind it all.

Kerrin told them about Boris last whispers, "I know where we should go.... I know where father is,"

So many questions, doubts showed in their unblinking eyes, "H-How come Boris know where the creator is?" Alice was the first to break out with questions, "and why did you decide to tell us now? Why haven't you told us sooner?!"

-Why indeed, Kerrin reflected the question within her conscious and gave it a thought, "I was shocked, and so many things happened. I didn't intend to hide it. Uncle Henry, you know we have been looking for father and it was the reason why we came here in the first place, but now I know where he is, I just... I don't know how to act when I see him,"

Henry strained a smile, patted Kerrin's shoulder with a slight nod. He then faced Alice and with a calm tone he asked, "Do you know the direction to the ink machine?"

"Y-Yes... it is not that far. We need to cross over Gent Office and into the Film vault, there will be a passage which will lead us to the ink machine," Alice replied, reluctant by the calm air coming from Henry, "Are we really going there after all?" she adds sounding conflicted.

"You don't have to follow me Alice, but I need to see Joey. Same goes for you Kiddo," Henry turned at Kerrin, still feeling guilty for bringing her up to this.

"No, I want to go. I need to settle things with father, perhaps it was a good thing that Bendy isn't around,"

Everyone couldn't agree more. If he was by any chance heard about the creator's location, he would lose control and go berserk right after him. Kerrin remembers how many times Bendy gritted his teeth, stressed his mouth and his eyes twitching and flaring whenever they mention about the creator.

-Maybe it is a good thing after all... I need to interrogate him calmly without any troubles. That was another reason why she did not bring it up any sooner.

"Well then, would you please lead us the way Alice?" Henry politely rushed her.

"Certainly!" she took the lead ahead of them.

The road of walking into the Gent home office department and stopping by the Film vault department felt forever. Every time Alice points the way, Henry takes the lead, checks if the place was cleared and everyone moves on.

Kerrin glanced over the crowded pipes on the walls, they looked like a drawing made by one of the Gent staffs, Thomas Conner worked here, who was the head of them. Kerrin knew nothing about these pipes or anything in this department would make sense to her, but if Boris was here, perhaps he would know and explain, his tail would wiggle, and he would always put on a warmest smile. This place was his expertise after all.

-But Boris isn't here... she presses on.

There was a round looking safehouse which implied the looks of a bank vault. A bank vault that went wrong, covered with a mess of ink and out of place. Alice pointed at Henry and talked to him to push the round door away from the entrance. As they were doing, a stall muddy stink emerged to their noses, Kerrin blocked her nose in attempt to prevent the stink to travel any further. It was more of a sewer than a Vault that keeps Joey Studio Films.
