,,I...I need you."
__________________________________
Bendy rose his head and looked into your eyes, in which were forming salty tears. He squeezed your hand and when he stood up, he walked to the wall. You knew exactly what he wanted to do. You felt it.
Before he could create an ink portal and pass through it, you ran to him and squeezed his hand. You gave your tears a free passage.
,,Please..." you whispered, crying. You were hoping that all this was just a bad dream and that you would wake up in the morning and that Bendy would welcome you with a warm hug. But you didn't know this was hurting Bendy more than it was hurting you. He didn't want to leave you, he really didn't... but he knew he had to.
He squeezed your hands and leaned close to your face and left a gentle and tender kiss on your cheek, but also a kiss full of sadness and despair. And then he took his hands out of yours and opened the ink portal, through which he passed. You screamed, unaware of what you were doing, you jumped into the portal behind him, and you ended up somewhere in a completely unknown part of the workshop. But you couldn't stop him. Before you could stand up and run to the next wall, he teleported through the portal away. Tears now flowed down your face like waterfalls, the vocal cords were strained by your screaming. You ran to the wall through which Bendy went, you were beating it, kicking it...until you slowly slumped on the floor and buried your head in your knees. Instead of banging the wall and crying loudly, the room was now filled with silent sobs.
You were able to stop your crying only after a few long minutes. You stood up slowly, your head aching from crying.
With your swollen eyes, you looked around. You were in a room that looked more like a haven. There was a table with a few things on it, a few cans of bacon soup, a bed over which was stuck an Alice Angel poster, a cutlery, even an aquarium with fish... but you were most interested in the wall in front of you.... on it there were paintings and words written with ink. There was a farm with a windmill drawn, there were written levels of the studio, message 'Wash the Dishes', 'Choose to be happy'... but your heart jumped when you saw the little written...
Hissy Sissy.
You found it strange that you reacted like this, because you already found your sister, you found Alice few days ago. But sometimes it felt like... it wasn't even her.
You reached out your hand and touched the writing. The ink was still fresh written.
'Alice was probably here,' you thought. 'But what the hell was she doing down here anyways?'
You would explore the wall and the whole room for longer if you wouldn't realize that you absolutely had no idea how to get back to the upper levels. A single door led out of the room, but it was metal and locked. So you started to look around, but you've never seen a way... until you looked up. There was a small trapdoor at the edge of the ceiling. You somehow managed to put the different kinds of things that helped you to get up on the table until your hand finally touched the wooden stick that pulled down opening of the trapdoor. A ladder fell out of it, which led you to the shaft. It wasn't comfortable for you at all, it was cramped and sometimes rat ran around you.
You crawled through the shaft for quite a long time until you reached the 14th floor and finally entered the lift. You were all dirty from the ink and the shaft dust.
,,Never again." you whispered as you stepped out of the lift on the 9th floor and headed to Alice's lair. But when you got there, your sister, surprisingly, wasn't there.
'Strange...' ran through your head. 'She never leaves this room.'
You didn't know where she was, but you decided to wait for her. You sat down at the table and stared at the wall for a moment, thinking about everything that had happened. Only then you noticed the book Alice was angry on when she was reading it the last time you came to her den. You reached out to the book and opened it, flipping through. You stopped on the random page and started reading.
Angel will see by her own eyes,
how her lying life flies,
When a sword stabs her in the chest,
she will never be able to come back to her nest.
'Huh?'
You looked at the other pages. The book was written in both poetry and prose. One page even explained how you found the book and how you got to Alice. It made you quite uncomfortable.
You went to the next, untouched page where more words began to type upon your touch.
Woman with two faces is standing, smiling widely,
reaching out her hand quietly-
,,What...?" you whispered, but your words were interrupted by another loud growl. Bendy's growl, which probably came from another level of the workshop. A moment later Alice came into the room. You couldn't finish what you were reading, so you've just hid the book.
,,Oh, (Y/N), Angel, you're here..."
There was uncertainty and surprise in her voice. She obviously didn't expect you to come so soon. But when she noticed you sitting and staring at her with tearful eyes, she sat down next to you.
,,What's wrong?" she asked. Wow. She cares for the first time.
You shook your head. Your eyes were filled with tears again.
,,Bendy-.."
,,Bendy what?"
,,He left..."
,,Oh, really?" Alice asked, but her expression changed as she looked at the wounds you had on your hands and legs. ,,Did..he do this to you?" she asked, but the tone of her voice was different. It was like asking something... she knew the answer to.
,,Yeah...but I don't blame him. He didn't know what he was doing."
,,I'm sorry for you, little Angel," Alice replied. ,,Want some bacon soup?"
,,Uhm...sure, I guess," you replied. You weren't too hungry, guess you only agreed because of courtesy. But before Alice left the room, you stopped her.
,,Alice?"
,,Yes?"
,,What is this book?"
When she noticed what book you were holding, her eyes flinched a little, but she remained calm.
,,Nothing. Just a journal."
,,Why would you write about dead angels killed by a sword when you are an angel yourself?"
Alice cast a nervous smile. ,,You never know what inspires you."
,,Oh, and one more thing."
,,What is it?"
,,What were you doing down there?"
,,Where?" Alice asked, confused.
,,Even deeper below level 14, in that safehouse." you replied.
,,I wasn't in any safehouse."
,,You had to be..." you said, confused even more than you already were. ,,With a fresh ink, there was a Hissy Sissy written on the wall."
,,So?"
,,It's our sistery nickame-"
,,I already told you I don't remember everything from my human life, (Y/N)," Alice said with a little madness in her voice to you. ,,Now finally let me go to get your meal."
And she left. It all seemed too strange to you, but you continued to read the words that were gradually appearing on the page. The poem was finished by now.
Woman with two faces is standing, smiling widely,
reaching out her hand quietly
to the lever that starts the machine,
to the hell, what's the worst place you've ever seen.
Demon himself can't control it now,
that's what Angel wanted, ink creatures will glow by now.
After reading this, you weren't just that girl who didn't understand anything. You linked the connections in your head, and you didn't want to admit the conclusion you have reached. But you couldn't change the reality.
When Alice walked into the room with a can of bacon soup, you didn't even look at her. You were still holding the book tightly, looking down.
,,Were you on level 1?"
,,What?" she asked, putting the can on the table.
,,I asked, were you on level 1?"
,,Well, maybe, if you're so interested where I was." she replied sarcastically.
,,What were you doing there?" you asked in a whisper.
,,I was just wandering around..."
You knew it. You knew she was lying. You knew the book was telling the inseparable truth.
,,Don't lie to me, Alice."
,,I'm not." she said. ,,I was just looking for some stuff-"
,,No." you whispered. Alice looked at you. She knew where you were going all this way. When she looked around, she saw an opened book. She knew you continued reading it. She knew you found out the truth.
,,You pulled the lever." you whispered.
,,I can't hear you when you whisper to yourself."
,,You pulled the lever down." you replied with more power in your voice. ,,Lever for the Ink Machine."
Alice remained silent, she was just staring at you, without any emotion, so you continued.
,,While I was gone you got to level 1 and there you pulled the machine lever that makes Bendy a monster that almost killed me... All this time you have been just reshaping that you wanted to help me, that you were caring for me. All..it was all just a big lie. You don't remember what Hissy Sissy means not because you lost your memory, but because you've never heard it before...You...you're not my sister."
Alice started clapping slowly.
,,Congratulations, (Y/N)." she replied with a smile on her lips. ,,You revealed my dirty little secret. Still, I was tired of pretending to be her. A woman who ruined my life. But it was still worth seeing your hope and joy that you have 'finally found your sister,' after so many years...well... I must disappoint you."
Your heart was pounding out of your chest. You ran towards the door, which closed right in front of you.
,,Leaving so soon, (Y/N)? Don't you want to spend some time with the devil sent from above?"
You tried to run, you tried to find another exit, but you were trapped, while Alice was slowly approaching you.
,,Your sister, oh, you don't even know how much I hate her." she hissed, still getting closer and closer. ,,But the one who will make it up to me, the one that will make me beautiful again...it's YOU."
After this sentence she pulled out a long syringe from behind her back and stabbed it in your neck. You screamed from pain and fell to the ground. The substance she injected you started taking over you and your body. Your vision became blurry, your eyes slowly began to close. The last thing you saw was Alice, who knelt to you with the syringe in her hand.
,,Sweet dreams, little Angel," she whispered. ,,Welcome to Hell."
