Addison woke up in a sleeping bag she settle herself in not realizing she fell asleep while relaxing.
She turned to a calendar she had put on the wall and marked "day one hundred and twelve" which is the last time she had seen the ink demon. It had been one hundred and twelve days, and she was still thinking about what happened. Never left her mind, it was so confusing.
Why was it just suddenly gone now? Why had it not killed her that day? She was still unsure and tried to drown her thoughts by cleaning her little stay place. It wasn’t too dirty but it definitely did need a bit of picking up.
After a while of cleaning, she had a sudden pain in her leg, she grunted and pulled down her legging.
There was a big scratch on her knee, it must’ve happened when she was cleaning and she hadn’t noticed.
It wasn’t bleeding bad, but she didn’t want it to possibly get infected. She opened a drawer looking for some medical supplies.
Crap..she had forgotten to restock.
She made up her mind to head to the medical room, but she would have to head down, and oh goodness did she hate having to travel deeper instead of traveling out.
She got some things that would make her travel much easier and set off.
After half an hour of looting searches and avoiding aware lost ones she found the medical room. She limped towards it the limp being caused by her now very injured knee. The searches got some good hits on her, but no matter she’d treat herself once inside.
She tried to open the door but it was locked, weird…it’s never been locked before she thought.
She groaned at the thought of having to find some other way in, walking around for a bit she spotted a vent that seemed to lead her inside.
She struggled but managed to crawl inside it. When reaching the exit she plopped herself inside the medical room then silently cheered to herself.
Everything she needed was there and she began to patch herself up. Once finished she was about to leave back through the vent she came but then heard something in the room next to hers.
She paused and listened "what was that?" She thought
She really didn’t want to see who could be weeping, but she was very curious. She slowly opened the door curious to see who was sniffling their feelings out.
Expecting it to be a lost one, she was shocked to see another toon such as herself. She couldn’t believe it, the toon had their back faced to her. A toon bendy? She thought to herself. it was nearly impossible, she has never seen one before.
She inspected them closely, they seemed to be wrapping up something, she noticed they had many wounds and scratches up their arms.
It looked like they were trying to treat themself but failing miserably
She could help, she slowly approached them. When she was behind them she tapped on their shoulder, they gasped and looked up quickly. Their terrified and shocked expression slightly faded when they saw her.
The little toon gulped as they both stared at each other for a few seconds. Addison walked to their front and kneeled down. They flinched as she did so.
She reached her hand towards them taking away the bandages they held. First she softly applied alcohol to their wounds. It stung like a bee and bendy tensed up. She then fixed the sloppily wrapped bandages bendy had already applied to themself.
They watched as she fixed it, then gazed at her face. She was so focused on wrapping them she hadn’t noticed them staring.
When she finished she stood up and stepped backwards to get a better look. Bendy still a bit tensed and confused since they didn’t know Addison and didn’t know her plans. She thought to reassure them to make them feel a little less scared
"Uhm..hey, it’s okay I’m not gonna hurt you at all. I fixed your bandages see?" She said in a soft reassuring voice
The toon looked down at their arms seeing that it was much better than how they did it originally, they then looked up and gave Addison a smile
She paused "um, can you talk?" She asked kneeling in front of them
They opened their mouth slightly, nothing but cold air came out.
"Ah..that’s okay. Are you bendy?"
They nodded then paused then gasped
"W-what is it?" Addison asked tilting her head a bit
The toon looked her up and down, her horns pointy but not to the point where it would hurt if someone were to touch the tip, and her halo gleamed. Bendy then pointed toward a nearby poster on the wall. It was a Alice angel poster, her first debut in fact.
Addison stared where the toon pointed in confusion for a second, before she could reply the toon jumped down and dipped their glove into a puddle of ink and wrote on the wall
Addison lightly sighed and shook her head.
"N-no- well I suppose on the outside I am. My name is Addison." She corrected them
They nodded and continued to write to her. Addison wasn’t used to this kind of communication but it was nice to have company either way.
"How long have you been here?" They wrote.
"Not really sure, you?" She answered
They shrugged, looks like they both had no idea how long it had been.
The conversation went on for awhile, they cracked jokes and enjoyed each other’s company.
The toon wrote another question.
"If you have to leave, Can I come with you?"
Addison paused for a moment, it would be nice to have this little guy be a companion. She did hate being on her own after all and she couldn’t just leave them there by themself.
She happily nodded. Bendy smiled and hopped excitingly.
After a few more minutes of conversation Addison stood up and motioned for it being time to leave this area, bendy nodded and followed close behind her.
They headed up, while walking Addison marked a area on her map. She’d occasionally look behind to see if bendy was close behind and noticed they had a very uncomfortable looking limp. She slowed her speed walk to a normal walk after noticing.
Then they finally got to the elevator, with no trouble! to Addisons surprise since she had encountered a lot of searches on her way there, she shrugged it off and opened the elevator letting bendy go in first.
The little toon hopped onto a chair on the back of the elevator, Addison after choosing their destination joined bendy on the chair as they both awaiting for the elevator to arrive at their selected floor.
