The Broken Loop

Chapter 11: Found a Projector

Pov: Boris

I see something. . . Light. I start walking towards it and stop, it could be a trap. . . I don't have any other option though, so I start walking towards it.

I freeze, the light is moving. That can't be good. . .

I hear a weird glitching, screech like audio coming from that, my ears immediately go against my head and I go to cover them but stop, there's a faint voice inside the screech.

"Hello?" It's a male voice, it seems familiar, alright, I know that it's a he now.
He is standing right in front of my, facing me, blinding me with that light, which is apparently coming from him.
What creature in the studio has a light part of them?

"Wally, is that you?" The voice says,
Am I Wally? Or is someone else?

He turns to look at me, being careful not to blind me.

"Its me, Norman Polk, err. . You probably know me as The Protectionist, though." So that's who he is. . What's he doing here?
I tilt my head and look at him.

"Alright, so you do remember me, good. Now you're probably confused as to where we are. But I think I've figured it out."

I gesture for him to continue.
"You know how during the loop, when you die you just get brought back, sometimes?"

I don't remember coming back during the loop, just after. . But I nod anyways.

"Well, that's where we are, between being brought back. So we are technically dead. Now, you're probably wondering why we aren't back alive."

I nod

"Well, truthfully. . . I don't know, but i think it has something to do with the Ink Machine. Whoever is in control of the machine can choose whether or not someone that is dead can come back to life. Make sense?"

I nod again.

"Good. Because that's the only logical thing I came up with."

Does he know about what happened to Henry? I look at him and tilt my head, hoping that like Allison, he can understand me to some extent.

"Yes, I am completely aware of Stein and the Ink Demon swapping places, the throne is pretty much made of my heads."

Now that is concerning

"Anyways, back to the rebirth being controlled by whoever is controlling the Ink Machine. I'm pretty sure that there's a chance he can pretty much snap is out of existence and kill our soul."

I panic and look around.
"Don't panic I'm only. . . 63% sure, there's still a 37% chance that it's just a theory. So calm down. Lets just be happy that other creatures exist here."

Does he know about the statues?
I start walking in a random direction, he immediately starts following me.
"Where are you going?"

It's been who knows how long. Possibly hours. I find a statue and walk over to it.
"What are you doing?"
I signal him to be quiet and push over the statue, before Norman says anything I quickly signal him to be quiet again, we hear something

"Dad?!" The faint voice of a child shouts, a little boy .
"Sammy?!" A familiar voice says, the 'Emily' guy. It's full of panic and fear.

"Don't think he's talking about Lawrence." Norman says. I immediately signal for him to shut up.

"Dad?! Is that you?!"
" Sammy?! Where are you?! Sammy?! "
