12 years ago...
"Hey!" A young Scylla shouted, playfully wiggling out of Helios' grip.
The adoptive uncle chuckled, tickling the little girl relentlessly as she giggled and squirmed. "Are you escaping? This is war!" Helios teased.
"Time for dinner!" Helias shouted from the kitchen, startling Helios just enough to allow Scylla to break free and sprint towards the large dining room on the second floor. Scylla soon jumped into her mother's arms, startling Helias. Scylla's adoptive grandmother, Diana Moon, walked into the room to find Helias being tortured by Scylla through snuggles. Chuckling, Diana swiftly swiped the glass plates from Helias, earning herself a lupine whine.
"Oh, hush, you know that you can't set the table with the little demon trapping you like that? Let me set the table." Diana joked, earning herself a glare from her daughter. Scylla knew what she was, but she feigned naivety to hide her hurt in front of the werewolves.
"I heard food was ready?" Helios asked breathlessly, panting at the door like an excited dog. Scylla giggled at the sight, letting go of her adoptive mother and rushing to help Diana with setting the table.
"Yes, food's ready." Helias remarked, striding towards her brother and looking mischievously into his eyes. "Now go sit at the table and wait for dinner to be served." She flicked Helios in the forehead, turning and striding over to the table to serve dinner.

Present
They had trained day and night, and it was fun - well, for Scylla. For the Soulless, it was torturous and difficult, constantly having to forget their barbaric ways of battling and being forced to learn new ways to battle. It was exhausting for both parties, but it was worth it to Scylla.
The morning after the training, Scylla was frantically reaching out her mind to try and trace Sonic's thoughts to a specific location on the map. So far, it hadn't worked. When Scylla had started to panic, she heard someone's voice - a certain pack member named Diana.
Scylla?
Diana, I'm busy right now -
With training the Soulless? Yeah, sure.
Diana. What. Happened?
Well, Aite wanted me to tell you to hurry up, 'cause we've found the Tainted one.
Scylla abruptly stood up and ran out of the glass tent, frantically asking, Where is he?
Well, that was fast.
Tell me!
Fine, fine. The Tainted One is in an abandoned Eggman base underneath a port of some sort. We'd get in, if the Soulless weren't attacking like maniacs!
Is it in a city?
Yeah, why do you ask?
Meet me at the outskirts of the town. Expect a group of Soulless slaves to be with us as well.
Okay, Mistress of Evil.
Oh, and one more thing.
Diana hesitated for a second, then she asked timidly, Yes?
Don't call me again, unless something happens to Aite or the rest of the pack. Understand?
Affirmative.
And tell Aite that if she wants something from me, call me herself.
Right.
Thanks. Scylla cut off the connection as she climbed the platform and blared out loudly, "ALL SOULLESS, FOLLOW ME OUT OF HERE! WE'RE PAYING YOUR BUDDY A VISIT!"
The Soulless yelped and clumsily followed Scylla out of the island in six cluttered lines. Scylla smirked, imagining the blunt and painful injuries, deaths, and the like she would face in battle. Three sides, all facing casualties of some sort in this war. Something to fight for. Gleeful and curious to see how everything turned out, Scylla quickly teleported everyone to the battlefield. The Dark Gaia pack were reunited again.
Aite shouted, "Oh, thank goodness you're back!"
Oh, this is going to be soooooo much fun.
(Author's Note: Short chapter again! But this time, a funny scene comes in. Reference of Pokemon.)
"Alright, let's do this!" Kiui exclaimed, stretching her fingers a little before typing something into the monitor. The password was rejected. Kiui looked annoyed, but before she could try again, Mango stopped her.
"Let me try." Mango said, typing in:
Pokemon Puzzle League
The monitor opened with a beep. Mango gave a snarky smile to her sister, who turned into a cat with banana-yellow scales, kiwi-green eyes, and gray fur and yowled, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO -"
As Kiui screamed as though she was in pain, Mango softly chuckled. "Sis, you were going to hack the monitor, not log into the thing. You really have a bad habit of hacking into technology." Kiui still throws a childish tantrum over this.
(Author's Note: <insert devil laughter here> I push people into portals now! SHORT CHAPTERS UNITE!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA -)
After hours of trying to calm Kiui and logging into a game/tv show called the Amazing Digital Circus (via Kiui's "harmless" hacking), Kiui made a huge portal machine that could send Mango to the Amazing Digital Circus universe. Before Mango could figure out how long it would take for her to get back, Kiui pulled her aside and growled, "Mango, we have a week before we have to meet up with Queen Ningyo and discuss the missing Mercats, so I want you back here in a day."
"But -"
"Don't worry, I have a microphone and headphones installed." Kiui said.
"Wha -" The portal opened, sucking Mango in. "KIUI -"
"Have fuuuun!" Kiui waved cheerfully after her sister.
PLEEEAAASE HEELP! I'M BEGGING YOU! MY BRAIN IS A MESS AND I CAN'T DECIDE!
[Author's Note: We found the animatronics, and spoiler alert! These animatronics are not Sylvia's. They're part of a nightmare. Chapter 10 will be the last chapter of the book (I think), so stay tuned!]
(P.S: It's also an extremely short chapter. Bear with me, please.)
Demetria opened up the basement, annoyed by the scritch-scratching sounds coming from the room. She's been up all night!
An animatronic flew after Demetria, just barely missing her nice dress. "Oh, fluuuff." Demetria hissed. "If this is one of Aunt Sylvia's, I'm giving her a piece of my mind!" An icicle flew out to cover the animatronic in a deadly array of spiked icicles on the floor. A hand touched Demetria's shoulder. "HOLY -"
CRACK!
The animatronic behind the woman cracked straight down the middle of its head, where Demetria had karate-chopped it. She didn't waste any time in running out of the house and locking, encasing the mansion in ice in a panic. She ran towards the forest, the icy trail behind her frosting everything in reach.
A blizzard has begun.
(Author's Note: Deck the halls with boughs of holly falalalala -)
"What?"
"You heard me! Do you remember that different universes have different time zones?" Mango sassed.
In true karma fashion, an Abstraction slithered up to Scylla. When Scylla looked at it, it starts to squeak, "Squeaky squeakatty-squeakins." Scylla nods.
Much like a cat, Mango freaks out. "AAAAAAAAAA -"
Scylla growled, asking Mango, "Then why are you here -"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA -" Mango continued screaming.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, in Mango's home dimension, Kiui sighed as Hikari rushed into the room, shouting, "What happened?! Where's Mango?! Is everything okay? Do I need to -" Hikari paused her worried tirade, looking at a very calm eleven-year-old, who said, "Mom, I think Mango needs therapy."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scylla asked the Abstraction, "Oscar, can you please calm Mango down for me, please?"
Oscar nodded, slithering up to Mango. "Squeak -"
HISS!!
Mango bared her teeth, her tail puffing in fear as she tried to look bigger in front of the larger Abstraction. This turned into a huge fight between the two gremlins. Scylla smiled, secretly missing the little family play-fights they had half the time.
Third Person POV
"A voice, a soul. The ink speaks to me." The Ink Demon growled.
"Oh yeah? What does it tell you?" Alinta replied sarcastically.
"It whispers your secrets."
Alinta's eye twitched while Audra squeaked in fear and hid behind Alinta. Alinta pretended that she didn't notice, while deep down she liked being relied on to protect her little crush. Alinta muttered in response to the thing the Ink Demon said, "Well, crap. Didn't expect that to happen so soon." They kept walking. Alinta and Audra go through a vent.
While they were in the vent, the Ink Demon asked, "Who are you?"
"Don't answer that question." Alinta hissed, covering Audra's mouth. "It's a trap. If it knows your name, it'll try to kill us faster." Audra nodded, and they kept moving.
"Tell me your sweet name, that I may devour it."
"Heavens, no. I'd rather keep my soul, thank you." The two teens got out of the vent, entering a room with another hall downstairs. As Alinta and Audra quickly entered the hall, the lights flickered. "Oh, that's nice. That's not creepy at all." Alinta said sarcastically. They went down the hallway and Audra attempted to pull the switch as Alinta leaned against the door. Suddenly, the Ink Demon showed up. Alinta and Audra start to panic as they tried to do their current task. "Audra, hurry up and open the goddamn door!" Alinta shouted.
"I'm trying!" Audra replied in earnest. She pulled down the switch and ran towards the door. Alinta got in first; Audra second. They slammed the door on the Ink Demon's hand, and watched nervously as it slithered away. Audra looks at Alinta and asked, "Is that..."
"Yes, it is the Ink Demon." Alinta whispers. "Come on, let's go get those pictures."
Eventually (after searching around and hiding), Audra and Alinta found all the pictures and quickly returned to the room. As soon as they finished putting the canvases, however, the Lost One attacked. Audra and Alinta quickly took it down and ran into the hall. Alinta picked up a note, read it, and set it down. "Well, that explains it." They moved on.
Soon, they reached a room with a few projectors. Audra turned one on, and it showed a few pictures of Bendy with a flower. Audra said, "Aww, it's Bendy!! He's so adorable! But it makes me wish that Bendy was still around."
"Oh, he's still around." Alinta muttered under her breath.
"Huh?"
"Nothing."
"Suspicious..." Audra looked at the projectors in the glass window, then at the pictures being projected. She got an idea. "Alinta, be the lookout. I'm going to try something."
Alinta said, "Okay."
Audra ran into the room and looked at the screens. "Okay, so... what's the context of this?" She looked around and saw the audio device from the whole...thing. She shuddered and cautiously walked towards it.
Five seconds later...
Audra's finally unlocked the code. It was 2-3-5. She entered the code as she shouts, "Alinta!! I've finally unlocked the door!"
Alinta walked over, stretching her arms as she said, "Good. Let's move as quickly so we can avoid the Ink Demon."
They walked through the door and the hall, and entered a room. They read the scrawling. "'She was the fourth'? Of what????" Audra asked.
"My guess is the Butcher Gang." Alinta said. She played the tape. After it was done playing, she said, "Welp, I'm right."
"Uhhh, the Ghost Girl is gone." Audra says nervously.
"I'm sorry, WHAT?"
"Yeah, um, I opened the crate and saw the terror the ghost is, and when I looked away for a second, she was gone."
"...Audra."
"Yeah?"
"You're paying me 100 bucks for this after the mission."
"Dang it!"
The two went through two doors when Carly had happened to swing a dagger at them, forcing them to dodge. "Goddamn son of a bitch!" Alinta cursed.
"Watch your language!" Audra scolded. They opened another door and walked towards the next room.
"Too many rooms to keep track of." Alinta muttered. Audra and Alinta went through a big pipe and entered a hallway. What they found in the room ahead were broken chains.
"Who could have possibly been through here?" Audra asked.
"Kaiso..." Alinta whispered. "We're on her tail."
Audra ended up helping Alinta across the chasm. They went into the next room and went through an empty pipe that led down to the previous floor. "Dang it!" Audra growled.
"Don't worry, I have the portal balls." Alinta said, pulling out a few multicolored balls.
"Nah, let's keep moving." Audra said.
Five minutes later...
The two girls went through Animation Alley and entered a room that said, "They Crawl", and the Ink Demon gurgled, "The deep abyss remembers you."
"What are you doing?" Audra whispers.
"Shush, this'll be useful later. Trust me." Alinta hissed.
The Ink Demon continued, "Alinta and Audra."
"Shhhhiiit. He knows our names now." Alinta cursed as Audra extended her claws.
"Children of the darkness."
"I am, she's not." Alinta said. "Where's Kaiso in this bullshit?"
"I found a code for the door!" Audra yelped, already decoding the combination lock for the door.
Alinta upgraded her wrench as she said, "Great, let's go!" They entered the next room. As Alinta charged the Gent Pipe, she said, "Damn those secure spaces."
As they unlocked the door and walked through the hall, Audra got ahead of Alinta. Five seconds later, she said, "Searchers! Searchers!"
"Wha-How!!!????" Alinta asked. "Run!!"
Alinta and Audra ran for their lives, dodging the Searchers until they reached an open room. The Searchers left them alone, but a Lost One appeared out of the ink. Audra cut it down with a single claw, cutting the Lost One's neck. "We're in the same room!" Audra whined.
However, Alinta had left Audra alone. Alinta was in Animation Alley, killing off the many Lost Ones in the room and in the hall before that.
26 minutes later...
Audra and Alinta entered a hallway that said, "The Keepers See Everything."
"Ha! No, they didn't, otherwise, they'd be on our tail right now." Alinta said. The two girls went down the hall when suddenly:
"Your journey will end as you are consumed into my dark kingdom."
"Is that a threat?" Alinta growled, flames burning off of her back in response to the sentence.
"Here, you will find meaning to your pain!"
"Shut up! You don't know what we've been through!" Audra hissed.
And then the way to the elevators closed. "Motherfu-"
"Don't finish that sentence. We'll go another way into the elevators." Audra promised. Alinta and Audra then entered a lobby called Artist' Rest. It was full of Lost Ones.
"Dangnabbit!" Alinta cursed.
The Slicer jumpscare returned again. "Noooope, we're not doing that again." Audra said, lifting both herself and Alinta into the air with air magic. Audra then got an idea. "Alinta, as soon as I send you down to the switch all the way over there, I'll guard you while you flip the switch and run to a hiding spot. You understand?"
"Okay, let's do this." Alinta agreed.
Audra flew the two over to the other side of the lobby, and dropped Alinta off at the control panel. Audra had then started to create a tornado to suck up all of the Lost Ones, effectively destroying them. Alinta flipped the switch and ran as Audra followed after her with a teleportation device. As soon as they reached a closed off room with a small window. Audra shoved Alinta in with a whisper, "The Ink Demon's back!"
"Shit!" Alinta hissed. "Grab my hand!" Audra grabbed Alinta's hand and got dragged in the room just as the Ink Demon had almost grabbed Audra's leg. But...
7 years ago…
There was a break-in.
Scylla didn't know how it happened, it just happened.
She was downstairs, sweeping the dust off the shelves when she heard her grandmother shriek and smelled blood. Helios closed his book, eyes widening. "There's an intruder!"
"What?!" Scylla gasped, dropping everything and teleporting into the room upstairs to see Diana's dead body. Her claws were painted with someone's scent - she'd put up a fight, Scylla realized. Shaking with grief, she used a blanket to cover the body, so at least Diana can be warm.
Something snapped in Scylla, something that forced her out of control of her body. Sniffing the unknown blood, Scylla tracked it to a person wearing a violet cloak. She attacked. As they fought, one of the daggers missed Scylla and hit…Helios.
The fight ended as Scylla threw the intruder onto the wall behind her and zapped them with lightning for good measure, before rushing to Helios's side and doing medical procedures. "You're gonna be okay, uncle, j-just don't leave me." Scylla whispered. "Where's the -"
"I'm not going to make it." Helios grimly told Scylla. She froze.
"No," Scylla hissed. "You're going to live. I'm not going to let another one of my family die on my watch. I-I wouldn't live with myself if I had."
Helios's heart broke for the thirteen-year-old, but he said, "That dagger, it was poisoned with a toxin that is incurable."
Scylla grit her teeth, growling as she replied, "Then I'll work harder to save you."
Helios shook his head. "I love you." He whispered, then fell limp.
Scylla felt her uncle's soul leave his body. She sat there, processing the death of her family. She shook, tears dripping onto Helios's cold chest. Fire licked her power reserves, begging to be released. So she let it out.
She'd let her past burn.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Present
She wasn't able to sneak past Zielo.
Scylla knew she should've expected this, but honestly? He looked so peaceful that she couldn't possibly bear to bother him (that was a lie, of course).
"Trying to steal from me?" Zielo asked.
Suppressing a groan, Scylla asked, "Well, hi, Mr. Baddie, are you trying to break my spirit?" She smirked as she turned to face Zielo. "But really, what do you think I'm stealing from you?"
Zielo's face stayed cold and unfeeling, but Scylla could feel the waves of annoyance coming off of him. It made her giddy with excitement. "My spark." Zielo simply replied.
Scylla laughed at him, taking a few seconds to calm herself down. With a shrug she said, "Oh, Sonic? Yeah, he's not your puppet, nor is he the 'spark' you're claiming him to be. He is his own person, and you shove up an apocalypse up the world's nose, expecting the hedgehogs, no, the world, to bow down to you."
Zielo snarled, "DON'T DISRESPECT -"
"I disrespect whoever I want, bucko. Guess what? You wanna stay a god? Act kinder." Scylla snapped.
"APOLOGIZE!"
Scylla growled, "Fine! I'm sorry that I will not treat you like a god. Is that what you want me to say? I'm sorry that I won't treat you like the 'perfect' person you claim to be, like all your followers do!" Scylla chuckled. "I'm just an inconvenience to you, a pest, a PROBLEM to you!"
"How dare you!" Zielo tried and failed to break Scylla's soul in half.
"Do you want to know something?" Scylla glitched behind the god. "I'm a god, too. But I'm a demon, a computer virus, and it hurts to not feel recognized, doesn't it?" She chuckled, glitching away from his swipe at her. Scylla transformed into her EXE form, hissing, "Well, I shouldn't have to justify what I'm doing to you, and I won't make it up to you, you low-class ruler!" Zielo lashed out at Scylla, trapping her in his telekinesis. Scylla cut through it easily with dark magic. "Well, I'm sorry that an abomination like me exists!"
"Scylla!" Sophia called out, taking Zielo's next attack, which was to grab her by the neck and lift her up.
"Sophia!"
(Author's Note: All warnings are mentioned in Chapter 6. That's all.)
"Hey, sis?" Poketiggy called. "Grandma sent us another chapter!"
"Then read it!" Charlotte called back.
"Alright..."
December 5
"Holy Soulless, this is a huge snowstorm to get through." Scylla muttered, climbing over heaps of snow and ice that used to be buildings, animals, even PEOPLE. After climbing over another body, Scylla said, "Wooow, going through this makes me feel like I'm in the apocalypse again, and that's not a good feeling."
Eventually, Scylla reached the castle, which was the heart of the storm. Literally.
Staring down the sparkling, ice-covered castle, Scylla sighed. "This generation s going to give me a headache one of these days." She muttered, using her frostbitten hands to shove the door open.
An ear turned at Dasher and Glimmer's call for staff from upstairs. Assuming that is where Demetria could be, Scylla teleported in front of the two rulers.
The pyrokinetic instinctively wrapped her arms around Demetria protectively, picking her up and leaving, but not before she heard:
"Hey! That's our -"
"Let them go."
"But -"
"We'll find them again. She'll be a powerful asset to our army."
Scylla teleported home.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"-Scylla? Hey, Scylla?" Kiui bugged.
"Yes, small one?" Scylla asked, despite knowing the answer.
"What was it like out there?" Kiui asked.
That knocked Scylla off guard. She...wasn't expecting that. Considering her options... Yeah, she might as well come clean.
"It was...devastating." Scylla starts. "It was like the apocalypse all over again." She hugs herself tightly. "To think that I saw all those frozen -"
Kiui said, "You don't have to talk about it. I was curious. That was all."
"No." Scylla insisted. "I have to." Inhale. Exhale. "There was a lot of snow, I'll admit that. But... I smelled blood and decay as well. There was the palace; it was covered in ice as well, it was in the heart of the blizzard. The buildings and such that made up the capital city were heavily covered in snow and ice. Demetria... I'd never look at her the same way ever again."
Kiui stood there, processing as she looked at the comatose form of Demetria. From her expression, Kiui would never look at her big cousin the same way again, either.
"When do you think Demetria will wake up?" Kiui whispered.
"HOPEFULLY when Sylvia comes over, because she's going to be over for ten days." Mango said, stepping into view.
"MANGO!" Kiui shrieked. Scylla didn't have the heart to tell the Mercat to lower her voice.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Demetria woke up, she was faced with Sylvia - in a lab coat. That means Dr. Sylveon is in the house. Ugh, feelings.
Demetria groaned and slowly got up, pain flashing across her body. And then a kitten with banana-yellow scales and kiwi-green eyes stared at Demetria, the cat's grey, fluffy fur on end as its tail swiftly moved back and forth nervously.
"Kiui?" Demetria croaked. "What happened?" The cat literally lunged towards the Froster, transforming back into the form of Kiui as she shouted:
"DEMETRIA! YOU'RE OKAY!! I THOUGHT WE LOST YOU!"
Demetria hugged the the sobbing girl tightly, while giving her aunt a quizzical look.
Sylvia sighed. "You froze the kingdom. Congratulations, you're a Froster now."
"And that's bad because...?" Demetria inquired.
Mango stepped into the room. "First of all, you COMPLETELY missed the part where Aunt Sylvia said that you froze the kingdom."
"I'm sorry, I DID WHAT?!"
"Second, you created a blizzard."
"WHAT?!"
"MANGO!"
"Third," Mango winked at Sylvia. "You nearly killed your friend and the crown princess."
"HOLY -"
"MANGO DRAGONFRUIT MOCHISOLAR!!" Sylvia barked.
Mango let out a fake sigh. "You never let me have my fun." She sarcastically said.
Demetria looked like she was processing everything. "Wow, I did some very bad things."
"Well, we're telling everyone we meet about how you froze an entire castle." Kiui said mischievously, sniffling quietly. Demetria groaned.
"Please don't."
"You traumatized Scylla too." Mango said.
"I WASN'T TRAUMATIZED!" Scylla shouted from the other room. "THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRAUMATIZED AND TERRIFIED!"
Mango rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah, well Merlina said that she's grounding you for the next month for the stunt you pulled."
"Figures." Demetria muttered. Kiui let out a throaty chuckle.
"Can I burn it this time?" Elsa the Dragon asked. Charlotte handed her the paper.
"Nothing's worth it." Sissy the Dog mumbled sadly.
"Aaaaand this is why I'm not giving you anymore stories." Creator drawled out.
"Rude." Conrad grumbled.
Third Person POV
"Behold!" Lord Amok announced as Audra and Alinta entered the room. "The Stranger is upon us. Kill them."
"Wait what?"
"Shit-"
"Kill them now."
"No-"
"Fuck!" This was a short battle, allowing the two Lost Ones to die with one hit, while the ruler two hits. Alinta glared at the corpses, glowing with a pale blue light. She growled, "Pathetic creatures." With a burst of moonlight, the corpses were disintegrated.
Audra gulped. "Crap - Um, Alinta, isn't the entire kingdom we're in going to, I don't know, KILL US for this?"
"Behold! The new King Amok!"
"...What the Venoma?" Audra asked as Alinta happily took the throne. Audra slowly turned around and marched out of the "throne room" in haste. She was not dealing with it at the moment.
2 minutes later...
Alinta had joined Audra in the escapade when they heard this:
"I see your mind as the truth unfolds."
"You don't see nothin', bitch." Alinta hissed.
"Why...Why him?" Audra muttered as she climbed up the ladder.
"You will accept your fate."
"Ink Demon, when I catch you, Ink Demon..." Alinta started.
"Keep your dang mouth shut before I text Kiui and tell her that you need to go to the FNAF dimension again!" Audra calls out.
"You ain't helping the situation, Audra!" Alinta growled.
"Before the end."
"Oh my gods, shut up!" Alinta and Audra snapped in unison.
6 seconds later...
"Oh my goodness, is that a city?!" Audra asked, running up to the window to look at the city outside.
"Audra...the tiny devil is back." Alinta pointed out.
"It's a gosh-darn city, Alinta!" Audra whispered in awe.
"I know, but -"
Audra looked to her side and saw tiny Bendy sitting on the couch next to her. In response to his cuteness, Audra squealed, hugging Bendy. "It's the tiny boooyyy! Hiii!" She pulled herself out of the hug, pulling in a huge breath before she said, "Look, I'm really, really, reeaallyy sorry about stabbing you with my claw earlier. It was a mistake. I didn't mean to make you cry. Can we be friends?" She held out her hand to shake. Bendy looked into Audra's eyes and then shook her hand. Audra bit back her urges to make cuteness overload sounds.
Alinta sighed. "Fine. But we've gotta get into the city. I think that's where Kaiso is."
Bendy shook his head, making a crying look and hugging Audra tightly. It was at that moment that Audra saw a wound on Bendy's cheek. Audra shook her head. "No, Alinta. I'll look after Bendy. You go into the city." Alinta's eye twitched. She grabbed Audra and Bendy, in which Audra held onto the couch and yelped, "No, we're staying."
"Audra -!"
Two or so minutes later...
At the bottom of the stairs, Alinta had Audra by the tail, rolling her eyes as Audra childishly tried to crawl up the stairs and yell, "You meanie!"
Alinta sighed. She let go of Bendy and told him in a monotone voice, "You go sit down somewhere. I'll handle this." As Bendy happily went to go sit down, Alinta turned to Audra. "YOU'RE NOT A CHILD ANYMORE!!! GROW UP!!!!!"
Third Person POV
An inky tentacle grabs the Ink Demon and slams him to the wall. A cartoon-themed woman walks up to him, the ink following behind her. The cartoon-woman had scales covering the top half of her face, black eyes, ink for hair, a long, black dress, and black claws on her hands. She looked as if she could kill the Ink Demon if she wanted to. "Now, listen here, mister." She hissed to the Ink Demon. "The next time you try to harm these two, I will personally take precautions to make sure you never do this again. Do. You. Understand?"
Alinta's POV
"Betcha that's Kaiso." Dark Alinta snarked, sipping a glass of wine from who-knows-where.
"I know that's Kaiso." I replied darkly.
"Well, fuck."
Third Person POV
Audra clung to Alinta for dear life as the Ink Demon mumbled an apology. The cartoon woman pointed out of the hallway, to which the Ink Demon reluctantly obeyed silently. When the Ink Demon had finally disappeared, the cartoon woman looked inside of the room Audra and Alinta were in and hissed, "You're lucky I was there. Next time, it'll be a lot worse."
"Girl, he was just going to leave anyway. It's part of the game mechanic." Alinta pointed out.
The cartoon woman rolls her eyes. "Whatever." She said as she skulked back to wherever she came from.
"What was that?" Audra whispered, her tail puffed up from the jumpscares.
"You don't want to know. Trust me." Alinta growled, climbing out of the room.
They went through the halls silently by Audra using her air magic again to lift them onto the ceiling. The two girls soon found the way to the elevators. Alinta and Audra walked through the halls when suddenly the announcements came on - for the third time in a row. However, Audra and Alinta ignored them and continued their way to the elevators. Audra went ahead of Alinta and found a fence. "Alinta! There's a big fence in the way of the elevators!"
"Why do you think I'm all the way over here?" Alinta asked on the right side of the fence, the rusty smell of metal melting rising. "I'm making room for us to go to the elevator!"
"...Oh. Well, I'm glad you're here!" Audra says optimistically.
25 minutes later...
Alinta has finished melting the fence and now Audra and Alinta are going down to the elevator. They then saw the terrifying scene of the Ink Demon eating a Lost One.
Alinta's POV
"Shit, shit, shit, SHIT!!!" I panicked. "We were just supposed to -"
"Shut the hell up, I'm trying to think." Dark Alinta growled. Then she snapped her fingers. "Get your little crush closer to you and use your moonlight to shield the two of you from the damn thing."
"What?"
"Just do it before you two get killed."
Third Person POV
Alinta pulled Audra closer behind her before wrapping them both in a moonlit ball to avoid being spotted by the Ink Demon. The ball disappeared. "Whooaaa. Where are we?" Audra whispered.
Alinta rolled her eyes. "We're-"
Alinta's POV
"The Ink Demon's gone now. You can get out of the ball." Dark Alinta interrupted.
"Go to hell."
"Already there, failed reincarnation." Dark Alinta teased.
"UuuuuuggghhAAAAA-"
Third Person POV
Releasing the two from the magic ball, Alinta and Audra went into the elevator and took the path up. The Keeper started speaking after a few moments. Alinta and Audra ignored it until it said, "Manual lift ejection activated."
"Wait what?" Audra yelped.
"Son of a bitch!" Alinta growled. The elevator stoped moving for a second, and then plummeted straight down. The two girls screamed until impact.
As Alinta and Audra regained consciousness, Audra was the first one to notice the Ink Spiders. "Uh, Alinta?"
"What now?" Alinta groaned, lifting herself up to look around.
"There's a lot of spiders around us." Audra replied. She yelped as one spider tried to bite her. "And they're hungry."
"Wait, wha - Oh... Well, fuck." Alinta grabbed the Gent Pipe and put it back into her belt. Looking at the beams, she spotted some switches. "Audra, flip the switches on those beams."
"Those ones?" Audra asked, pointing in the same direction as Alinta was looking.
"Yes, those ones." Alinta replied. "Avoid the spiders and flip those switches."
"Got it." Audra stood up and extended a claw, running to get started. Alinta transformed into her wolf form and started attacking the spiders.
2 minutes later...
"No. Fuck no. You can't be serious. Absolutely not. No way..." Alinta ranted as she watched the large queen of the spiders she had just defeated rise out of the floor.
Audra, who had finished flipping all of the switches, called out, "Do you want some help?" She looked at the spider and gasped. "No, it didn't."
"Yes, it did." Alinta replied, stepping away from the spider.
"It came back to haunt us!" Audra said.
Alinta corrected Audra with, "This is a different kind of spider." Alinta looked behind her to find a power outlet.
Alinta's POV
"That should work!" I think.
"What can - Oh." Dark Alinta said. "Nope, nope, nope! Have fun with the spider!" She left.
I blinked. "So you can deal with the Ink Demon, but you back down at the sight of a spider?!" I shout.
Third Person POV
"Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!" Audra chanted as she slammed the spider onto the floor with all different types of air magic.
Alinta grabbed her Gent Pipe, twirled it around, and then inserted it into the socket, flipping the switch and opening the circular entrance to the dark abyss. Audra slammed the ink spider down that drain, causing the spider's death and its legs to be ripped off. "Holy Lucifer, that was a close one." Alinta breathed, panting heavily.
"The next time I see a spider, I'll kill it." Audra growled.
"Come on and let's move." Alinta said, dragging Audra toward the next room. Going down the hall, they opened a door and reached another phone-thingy. Alinta knocked on it, asking gruffly, "Aliiice? You there?"
"Alinta! Audra! Where are you?" Alice asked.
"Don't know, but we killed a couple of spiders." Audra shrugged.
"Spiders? Stay there, I'm coming to find you." Alice said.
"We're not gonna listen, are we?" Alinta asked.
"Nope." Audra replied.
"Well, then. Let's just go on." Alinta said, moving out of the hallway with Audra following behind.
5 minutes later...
Audra gasped. There was a wild tiny Bendy in the hallway. Alinta used her newly created thingamajig to scan the danger of the baby boy as Audra shouted, "BABY BOOOY! HI!" The Bendy took notice, and in turn ran away. Audra's heart broke, shattering into a million pieces as Audra sank to the floor dramatically, face-first on the ground as she whimpered, "No..."
Alinta's POV
Interesting... He's more dangerous than we anticipated. I'm not going to ruin it for Audra though. She'd be devastated if she knew.
Third Person POV
Alinta snapped her gadget close and looked up to see that Bendy was gone. "Oh, Bendy's gone."
"And you just noticed that NOW?!?!?" Audra shrieked.
