"I don't know what you're talking about, Bendy. I just came to see if he was still here. Y'know, working." I casually said. He didn't seem to buy it, though. He just stared.

"You're lying." He said.

"Huh? I'm sorry Bendy, I don't know what to tell you. I don't know why I came here.." I tried to apologize. Bendy stood there, growing a little impatient.

"You're still lying," He said annoyed, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

"No Bendy, I really don't know!" I tried to assure him.

"Ouch. It hurts to be lied to, (Y/n). I would know.." His voice cracked a little. He sounded hurt, "Do all humans lie like this..? Or is it just you three.." His eyes widened. The black surrounding his face began to drip onto him. His face began to melt as he clenched his teeth. "You three.."

"Get out." He ordered.

"Bendy, I-"

"I SAID GET OUT!" He yelled. I stared at him, my eyes starting to tear up. "Leave, now. You're in on it too! You're working with the creator, I can't beli-"

Before Bendy could finish his sentence, a door closed far away from the room we were in. Bendy growled at the noise, and started on his way towards it. He snapped his head back at me, making the liquid splat against the wall.

"I want you gone before I'm back. Do you understand?" He asked.

"I don't-"

"I said, do you understand?" He said menacingly. I stared at my feet.

"Y-yes... I understand, Bendy.."

He went quiet before making his way out of the room, making a trail on the ground. As soon as he left, my tears grew bigger.

"Great job, (Y/n)!" My voice cracked. "You totally fucked this up!" I scolded myself, "You just had to lie!" I stomped my foot on the ground. It shook a few of the boards.

I walked to the door, grabbing onto the handle. I didn't twist it, but instead, I just sat there with my hand on it. I wiped my tears while I sniffed. I positioned my leg to get up, but fell instantly when I heard a loud mechanical noise go off. It was a machine.

I backed away from the door, staring at it. I wondered what machine Bendy could possibly have. I honestly didn't want to find out, it sounded fairly close to here. I would hate to bump into him again.

××××××

I continued to play with my hair as I waited. It had only been a few minutes since the machine went off. I didn't know what to do, or where to go. Bendy put me in a random room in a building I had no idea about.

I guess I could try. I got up, reaching for the handle. As I twisted it, I couldn't help but notice my feet getting warmer. I looked down, letting go of the handle. Black liquid was pouring from the outside. I frantically tried to open the door, but to my surprise, it was locked.

"What?! It was JUST OPEN!" I yelled. I heard the sound of keys play against each other, right on the outside. Whistling accompanied the keys, like a a rythym. "Bendy?! Is that you?! Let me out! You told me you wanted me out!"

The whistling stopped. The keys stood still as the liquid continued to pour into the room. Whoever was behind the door started running, leaving me trapped. I banged on the door frantically, calling out to anybody. The liquid flooded in quickly, making a small pool of the room.

"Somebody, HELP!" I pleaded. No one answered. The room filled up slowly. I stopped banging on the door when I grew tired. I whimpered as I placed my forhead on the door. "Let me out.. please.." I whispered.

I heard the sound of metal being stressed. It came from inside the room, behind me. I turned around to see the same liquid flowing in a giant pipe. The metal holding it together in some places began to undo itself, the screws coming out. Before I could scream anything, the pipe burst. It made the process of the room filling up much quicker. I shook my head.

"No, let me out! Get me out of here!" I begged. I didn't have much time. Or, any at all. The liquid was already up to my shoulders. I realized what the liquid was once I got a sniff of it. Ink. I was about to drown by ink.

The ink was already up to my chin by now as I searched for a way out. It was challenging to walk through it. It wasn't anything like water. I tried swimming through it, but instantly realized that was a mistake. I couldn't get back up. I started to panic as I slowly sunk underneath, taking my last breath. The last thing I remember is someone calling my name.

××××××

Heyo! How was that? Better? Hell yea. I was originally gonna make Bendy all mysterious, but I needed him friendly. Anyways, the third chapter should be coming soon. I hope. I think. Ehh.
