Creature From The Inky Core (BATIM)

Chapter 6

Two days had past...

"Excuse me, narrator?"

"What the hell are you doing here? How did you even get here!?"

"I actually have no idea, but since I'm here, you can leave."

"What the actual fuck?"

"I want to tell my part of the story, now."

"That's not how it works, Bendy."

"Can't you just go get a coffee or something? C'mon take a break, I'll cover while you're gone."

"Fine. Do what you want."

"Finally!"

Bendys POV

I walk in the room Lily was in.

"Rise and shine Lily! You don't want to stay in bed all day do ya?"

I sit on the bed. The child had not responded.

"C'mon Lily, wake up!"

This time she responds by slowly opening her eyes and looking at me. She was pale, quiet, and looked very sick. I didn't notice this immediately, however.

"There you are! Playing peek-a-boo or something?"

Lily tried her hardest to get up, she then crawls towards me and gives me a hug. I think this is normal for a kid until I notice that she starts squeezing me and doesn't want to let go.

"Is everything alright, Lily?"

The small being lifted her tiny head and with great effort, slowly responded.

"Bendy? I don't feel so good..."

After saying those words, she starts crying on my shoulder. I pick her up and with hidden worries, try to calm her down.

"Hey, it's okay Lily. You're gonna be okay."

Even I was having a hard time believing my own words. How was I going to make a child feel better if I didn't know a damn thing about humans? Lily then holds onto me like if she holding on for her dear life.

"But, i-it hurts Bendy..."

Fuck. With that voice, she wouldn't last a minute more. I'm fucking terrified by now, what am I going to do? I looked out the door, there was only two people around that could heal someone that wasn't made of ink. I had to go, NOW. Sammy then just casually enters the room.

"And where have you been?"

Sammy is a little startled at seeing me. Not sure why, I'm the only being that's supposed to be here other than Lily. After looking at the shelves, he finally answered.

"Getting more food, my lord."

"Forget about that, Lily's not feeling well."

"Oh? What happened to the poor thing, my lord?"

I can't tell if he was being sarcastic or his usual punch me in the face self. All I know is that Lily needed to get out of that room as soon as possible.
