Reanimate The Future

Chapter 8: Lost In The Past

"Any reason why you feel the need to be looking through my personal thing" Snapped Cherry as she swept the book of the table, grabbing the letter out of his hand as well.

"No... it fell out of your bag while I was making sure you didn't die" Snapped Henry as he stood up from the chair, now slightly looming over Cherry starting to feel a new found anger inside him.

"You could've put it back... there wasn't any reason for you to go looking through my personal things" Retorted Cherry as she took her gaze away from Henry, sliding the letter into the pages of the book before putting the book back in her bag.

"Considering you've been somewhat shifty, snappy, and just down right distance since we met again... like something is going on... at least I know what now" Replied Henry as he crossed his arms over his chest, hoping to discover some kind of truth to her mystery.

"I have my reasons... and you don't have a clue what's going on" Said Cherry in a calm tone, crossing her arms over her chest feeling a little impatient standing there.

"Well I have somewhat of an idea from that letter of yours... being guilty for a mistake... I didn't get to read it all due to your temper" Retorted Henry as a slight smirk was on his lips, knowing he'd finally got his chance for her to spill whatever she'd be hiding.

In a snap of rage, Cherry grabbed his neck and pinned him to the closet wall she could. Seeing the flames burning deep in her irises. No longer being able to contain it. Feeling her emotions swirling deep inside her.

"You had no right to read that... you have no reason to even be here... you don't know anything about what's happened here..." Cried Cherry as she let the emotions take a hold of her, letting him go before turning away to wipe a few tears away.

Silent all three of them stayed, letting the atmosphere try and settle down. Boris and Bridgette still sitting at the table. Staying out of the argument that was unfolding. Finally the pair had seemed to calm down, Cherry keeping her back to the lot of them, letting her emotions consume her mind.

"For your information Cherry... you apparently asked me back here..." Said Henry as he tossed the letter in Cherry's direction, like lighting she caught it without turning around and took a glance at it.

Her eyes suddenly going wide. Feeling a wake of shock and horror hit her. Knowing something wasn't right now... and the fear was starting to take over. Wanting to let out the frustration that was boiling deep inside her.

"Where did you get this?" Questioned Cherry as she just slightly glanced over her shoulder at Henry, looking at the ground beside her as she waited for an answer.

"Either from you or your father... but your writing don't match going from the other... so what does your father want me back for?" Henry Questioned back now wanting answers to the questions that were stirring in his head, trying to keep his composure as best as he could.

"I wouldn't accuse my father of doing things he hasn't done... this writing isn't his" Snapped Cherry as she felt a nerve snap inside her, not believing that Henry would start accusing people without all the evidence first.

"Before you ask... I don't know who's it is... I haven't seen it before" Sighed Cherry as she turned her head to look back at the wall in front of her, throwing the letter back at Henry from behind her back who just managed to catch it.

"So what do we do now?" Questioned Henry as he tucked the letter back into his pocket, tilting his head in curiosity as he continued to look over at Cherry.

"Not we... you and I... if my suspicions are right then you two stay here where it's safe... and I go back out there alone" Stated Cherry as she adjusted her bag slightly, turning to look at the door and the walking over to it without another word.

"You can't leave us here Cherry" Begged Henry as he took a few steps forward, not wanting to see his old friend walk away from him.

"I can... and I will if it means you're safe" Replied Cherry as she looked over her shoulder at Henry dead in the eyes, giving him an almost death like stare knowing she meant what she said.

"And what about you... you're not safe out there" Retorted Henry as he edged his way closer to Cherry, after seeing what Bendy could do made him know she wasn't safe out there alone.

"I'll be fine" Said Cherry as she turned around to fully look at him, seeing that he was only a few inches away from her now almost looming over her.

"I've seen what that demon can do to you... I'm coming with you whether you like it or not" Stated Henry as he looked down at Cherry dead in the eyes, showing her that he was serious about going with her back into the studio.

"There's no convincing you otherwise is there?" Questioned Cherry as she looked up at Henry, raising an eyebrow now starting to get slightly annoyed but also a tiny bit sad that he wouldn't listen to her warnings.

"No... so if you go back out there... I'm coming as well" Answered Henry as he gave Cherry a small smile, knowing that he wanted to help her in the hell she'd been in for years.

"Fine... come on then" Said Cherry as she grabbed the handle of the door, opening it then looking back over her shoulder into the room.

"Come on Bridgette... you're coming as well" Said Henry as he looked over his shoulder at the table with Boris and Bridgette sitting at, raising an eyebrow as he looked her head in the eyes.

"Ugh... Fine... but if something happens to me I'm going to blame you" Stated Bridgette as she sighed and got up from the table, strolling over to Henry as waiting by his side for them to leave the room.

"I can deal with that" Replied Henry as he looked down at Bridgette, the glancing back over at Cherry as he waited for her to lead the way.

"Well... lead the way Cherry" Said Henry as he gave her a small smiling, giving her a nod as he watched her give him one in return.

Then turning her back and walking into the darkened halls of the studio. With the two of them in tow behind her. Heading back into the studio... still with a mysterious goal that only one person knew. Cherry Drew...
