BATIM-afterward

Chapter 1- freedom

Henry did it. He finally did it. He defended the ink demon and but a stop on Joey rain of terror, setting the employees free. Down at level 9 Susie found herself alive and human. He ran to a shiny surface and gasp. He bouncy blond hair was back. She twirled around in her yellow dress happily. in the music department Sammy along with many of band members found themselves as there fleshy selfs. A little deeper below jack picks up his hat, puts it on and makes his way up. Down deeper Alison and Tom hugs each other. Tom finally gets to tell Alison how much he loves her. Norman wonders out of the sticky dark ink.

One by one they exit the studio. Some, like Wally,  kiss the grass thankful to actually be alive. others, like Lacie stretched out in the warm sun. Sammy sits by himself. Afternoon he did help Joey turn the others ink. But he didn't have a choice. He wonders what his abuser is doing now. Tom was sitting next to Alison. They both usually vary strong people but Alison was into side her mind. She thought of the things she and Tom had to do. Killing Susie and many others. Tom didn't mind killing Sammy. He deserved it after when he did. Norman himself couldn't believe he just rips the hearts out of many things. Ya sure he loves Sammy and know he was being abused by Joey but he still couldn't forgive him. Even Wally wouldn't go near Sammy.

Henry looks at everyone. "Alright everyone. Now that your free you can come to my and Linda's house to stay tell we can get you on your feet or you can try on your own." Many people thanked Henry for feeing him and left. The ones that stayed our. Tom, Alison, Buddy, Wally, Grant, Shawn, Sammy, Norman, Susie, Lacie, Brutrum, Johnny, and Jack.

Henry took them to his small house. "Wait out here you guys. Let me tell all this to Linda." Henry entered his home. "Linda. I'm home!" She steps out from there room.

"Where have you been?! I was about to go to the police!" Luckily he called her before this whole thing happened, telling her that he won't be home for a few weeks.

"I'm sorry Linda." He gave her a big hug and realized how much he missed her. He hugs back tightly.

"I'm just glad your safe." She smiles. Henry kisses her. "I brought some friends to stay for a while tell they get back on there feet." She gave him a funny look. He told of everything that happened.

"...alright. I'll help you help them."

Henry went to gather them in the living room as Linda ordered pizza. "Alright guys. We need to make sleeping plants. I have two guess rooms. Some of you can sleep in the living room."

"Wait. How do we know we're safe with Sammy here? He's the one who helped Joey!" Johnny states.

Henry looks over at Sammy in the corner. He only looks away. "..I think we're be ok now. Right Sammy?.." he saw the man nods. He couldn't imagine what he's going though. To have to go though all this hell alone with everyone hating him. He would check on him later. He looks at everyone. Grant was cuddled up around Shawn. He knew Tom and Alison we're together. "Alright. Will have Tom, Alison, Johnny and Norman in the big room." He saw them all nods. "Buddy, Wally, grant and Shawn the smaller room." Grant kissed Shawn while the other two nods. "The rest of you well sleep
Here."

Pretty soon the pizza arrived. Henry puts all the boxes on the counter as well as the cups, sodas and plates next to it. "Time to eat!" He called. The formed a line to get there plates pizza and drinks and set down. But Henry notice only some of them did. He didn't bother them. They were in shock and trauma. Everyone went thought it differently.

Shawn grabbed a plate for grant and sat next to him. "Hey babe. I brought you some pizza." Shawn places it on the floor next to him.

"Thanks Shawn. But I'm not hungry.." Grant replays.

Shawn frowns. "Please eat for me" he gives grant a pleading look.

Grant sighs and took a bite. "Happy?

"Yes"

Lacie, Susie and Alison were gather on around each other. Only a few words were spoken between them. I'm s-sorry I killed you Susie."

Susie shrugs. "I deserve it ...it was a crazy bitch in there...I'm sorry..." Lacie wraps Susie in a hug.

Norman sat across from Sammy and slide a plate of pizza to him. "Eat." He said coldly. Sammy turn his gaze on him. He's eyes were red from crying. It made Norman want to hold him. But he made them suffer. Could he forgive Sammy? "Eat.." he repeated but more with love. Without a world Sammy picked up the pizza and took a bite.

I'm the kitchen Henry was talking about buddy's plans. He was only 17. " Your going to stay with us tell your 18 then we're fine your friend dot.

Buddy nods. "yes sir. Thank you"

The rest of the people were listening to others or watching.
