Announcements!!
1) might go on a break. I'm getting very discouraged because of the lack of attention the series has been getting. I WILL finish the series no matter what, but maybe not as soon as I thought.

2) I have a black butler book out now! If anyone is interested, of course! I have other books coming too but I'm pretty sure the fandoms are dead but who cares? Also does anyone have requests?

3) just for drama, I plan to throw in some extra love interests just because. Don't judge me! I also have NO IDEA Bendy and The Ink Machine lore works. It's not crucial to the story, I just need him and his creepyness.

4) PLEASE ENJOY! ❤️

God, if you're there, help me.

"Hi there, I'm (Y/n) and I'll be your server today!"

Since I'm physically unable to go to the pizzeria due to the circumstances, I decided to not wait around and sit on my ass.

"Can you move a little faster?!"

This man kept repeating if I could pick up the pace and snapping his fingers at me.

I politely asked if he could stop, but it only backfired. I kinda just stood there as everyone watched him yell at me.

I felt small and a little scared. I wasn't even listening anymore because I just couldn't stand his voice.

"ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?! I'LL SHOW YOU!"

The man drew his hand back to slap me, I closed my eyes tight, but I never felt anything.

I opened my eyes to see someone was very tightly gripping his wrist.

My eyes drifted to who stopped the man. I quickly scanned him up and down only to notice he worked here as well. I ran behind him quickly, not even getting a really good look at him.

The man who was going to hit me was grunting, trying to break free. If you looked closely, you could see the man's veins popping out, but the tall 'hero' looked as if this was nothing to him.

"Sir, I think you should pay, apologize to this young lady, and then leave."

The man glared down at you, seeing if he could squeeze anymore fear out of you. Only to see, that your eyes were glued to the man in front of you.

He grunted and did as he was told, clearly not wanting to go any further with that man.

The tall man looked down at you, not smiling. His dark, black eyes sunk into yours. His seemingly perfectly placed hair never seemed to fall out of place. His pale skin looked sickly compared to yours.

"Are you Alright?"

His raspy voice made your small one get stuck in your throat. All you could do was nod.

The light in his eyes seemed to flicker back and forth as if we was thinking about what to say next.

"Let's take you to get a break."

You take a breathe and smile, nodding.

He guides you to a space that is just for the workers, a break room.
You immediately sit down and relax.

You laugh a little.

"You really saved me back there, I appreciate it!"

The tall man looked at you, his eyes still being able to sink into yours. He says nothing.

"Well, I'm (Y/n)."

He gives you an annoyed look, as if he's telling you to mentally shut up.

"I know already. You do know I'm the manager, right?"

After a moment of silence, you facepalm hard, feeling stupid.

"Ah, I apologize!"

The man rolls his eyes.

"I suppose I'll have to keep an eye on you. I didn't realize how dainty you really were."

You laugh nervously, but then something catches your eye. A black stain is slowly moving over the back wall.

Your eyes follow as it trails over. As the man coughs, your eyes are snatched to him immediately.

"So..what is your name?"

After a second or two of just plain silence, he answers.

"Josiah. Now shut up and take a break."

His raspy voice could get you wrapped around his finger. You sigh and does as he says.

As your eyes hit the ceiling, the black stain is directly above Josiah. One drop is slowly about to drop.

It drops on his shoulder.

He doesn't notice it.

It goes up his neck and snakes it way around him.

He doesn't feel it.

The stain- the ink, is literally making its way to his head. His eyes go pitch black. Lifeless.

Josiah looks at you with a smile you've seen before. A smile you fear.

"The wonders of imagination."

You sit up straight, ready to fight if you have to.

"Don't get your panties in a twist. I won't hurt you, but now things are serious. Just to make it fun, I'm not gonna tell you, you have to figure it out."

Your eyes scan Josiah, well the demon version of him, and try to take note of the differences.

You take a second to blink but when you open your eyes again you realize he was back to 'normal'.

His dark eyes sink into yours once more. He takes a second to think.

"I suppose I was being harsh. Maybe we can be friends."

Trying your best to act normal, you smile brightly. You hold your hand out for him to shake it.

He eyes your hand, but then sighs, shaking it. His eyes waver between their original darkness and pitch black.

He scans you up and down, his eyes bouncing back to the front of your right shoulder.

"Oh a tattoo?"

You follow his gaze and just stare at it.

"Hah, oh yeah.."

On your shoulder appears to be the literal seed of evil you encountered before.

This was the moment you realized that this shit was real.

Josiah chuckles a little. He unbuttons his shirt and shows you a similar tattoo on the left side of his stomach.

In a bit of shock, you stare at it. You crack a laugh.

"I don't know about you, but I think we have to be best friends now!"

With a sliver of weakness, The tall man smiles.

"Alright, Fine."

God, what a terrible idea that was.

Sorry it took so long!!
