Chapter 3
I woke up with a cat-like tail gently rubbing my face. I moaned and gently pushed the tail away, I heard a chuckle and I opened my eyes. I saw the smile from earlier and the memories came flooding back.
"Oh it's you..." I said sleepily.
"How do you turn on this glowing music box back on?" he asked me waving my phone around. I snatched it back.
"My what? Nevermind?" I clicked the power button and looked at the battery. 10%.
"What did you do to it?" I asked him.
"Tried to turn the music back on, but when I clicked the green button a man screamed at me so I hung up." The figure replied. I laughed oh boy dad's going to think the worst...
"So If I am going to learn the story of this place how about I start with yours?" I smiled, I felt good I was already getting started.
"Oh... um okay, so do ya know the time Disney and Joey Studios merged?" The figure asked me I shook my head no. He froze and shook his head and continued to told.
"Whether ya do or not, it happened and it didn't last long... so I will tell you the short version of this story, so ya know this place is covered with in that's the Ink Machine's fault, back then the Ink Machine needed constant management. I even helped work it, I was made--" The figure cleared his throat.
"So I worked the Machine, it was physical work back then. I worked it more than everyone else, I worked and worked and worked until the ink dripped off of me..." The figure stayed silent for a while and cleared his throat.
"Ummm... go ahead without me for a minute I'll met up with ya later." The figure said he was obviously unstable, so I left him.
I heard his sobbing when I got further down the hall. I got to a garage-like door with a lever on the side of the door, I pulled it and the door opened into a pool table room. The room was flooded up to my ankles in ink.
The ink soaked through my shoes again, but I tried to ignore the heaviness and sloshing of my shoes. I kinda wanted to take them off but decided better of it. I walked to the door and opened it releasing ink into the other room. I walked to the staircase that led up, I there was a desk up there with a tampered tape recorder. I clicked the play button on the recorder and it crackled before a high-pitched voice spoke.
"Heya Bendy It's time to get up pal....-- MISTER DREW!!" There was some footsteps.
"Bendy pal! Are you okay?!" The high-pitched voice asked he was filled with worry. There was some shuffling and ruffling of some bed sheets of some kind.
"Oh my god..." The high-pitched voice screamed, the scream was so loud I swear that the scream echoed through out the whole studio. I was so confused who was Bendy? And was that voice... Mickey Mouse? I shook my head at that ludicrous idea, I looked over the counter. There was a orchestra set up and these cut-outs of some old cartoon character filled every chair.
"What's going on here?" I asked out loud. I turned to leave the booth and saw a old worn down picture of the old cartoon's face, I jumped and fell on my ass. I laughed a bit, that face surprised me. I used the counter to pull myself up and I gave one last glance to the orchestra, I gasped when I noticed all the cutouts were gone!
I quickly walked down the stairs and jumped when a cut-out peered over the corner when I halfway down the stairs, the scare made me fall down the stairs. I turned to see the cut-out was peacefully resting on the wall with a ink puddle underneath it. I glared at the cut-out and dented it with my hand. I stood up and almost kicked it, but I was interrupted by a growling noise.
I turned to see a moving ink blob. I grabbed the cut-out and attempted to smacked the monster, but I missed and it started to approach me. I swung the cut-out around landed a few hits before the creature hugged the cut-out and snatched it out of my hands. The cut-out broke into pieces and somehow impaled the creature. The creature jumped back into his puddle of ink he was totting around behind it. I pressed myself tightly against the wall I was on and I looked around the room, but it looked like there weren't anymore of those of creatures. I slide down the wall, what the fuck was that? I stared at the bubbling puddle with fear.
I sat there for a little while and a splashing noise caught my attention. I looked and saw another one of those creatures I stood up and ran in front of the large wall with the lighting. I didn't read the words the wall said, I was too concentrated on grabbing the long wooden board leaning on the wall. I held the board close to me and swung it at the creature and it jumped into its puddle at the contact of the board and its head. I cautiously walked to the other tampered tape, and played it. The tape seemed to stall a bit and it played some weird noise before it played a low, calm voice.
"What are these things?" He breathed heavily. He got no response and he didn't say much else before a hollow thunk and a thump against the wood. There was some whispering, but it was rhythmic like it was rhyming, then the tape clicked off.
"What even happened in this place?" I asked and shivered as some liquid rubbed against me. I looked.
