BATIM- Mirror Mirror Chapter 2

Joey woke up, his eyes preventing to open due to the ceiling light. He was trying to remember what happened before he passed out. His memories came to surfaces as flashes remembering what happened, Joey doing the spell, the other Joey coming from it, the toons getting taken. Joey jolted up, hoping everything that happened was a dream, and the toons are safe and sound.

“Bendy!” Joey yelled, in hopes of the little imp hearing his calls.

“Yes.” Joey turned to face the door, and disappointment fell on his face when he saw it wasn’t Bendy, but Henry.

“Henry?” Joey asked. He tried to get out of bed, but the pain from before prevented him from making any movements.

Henry ran over to his boss to stop him. “Joey stop. You need to rest.” Joey grabbed Henry by the shoulders and looked at him in the eye.

“Where are the toons?” He asked.

Henry didn’t know how to respond. While, he wasn’t there for the whole thing he did see the end of it and saw the toons disappear. With a sigh, he looked up at his boss. “Joey. I. I don’t know. I think they’re gone.”

Joey loosens himself looking down on the ground. “No. No.” He cried. Joey covered his face with his hands as he sobbed. Henry sat next to Joey and rubbed his back. “Its my fault. I’m sorry Henry, I should have listened to you before.” He cried.

“Joey what did you do?” Henry asked.

“I-I. I did a ritual and it sent another me, an evil me to this world and he took the toons.” Joey cried. Henry sat there watching his boss cry, he never saw his boss so emotional like this before. Henry couldn’t even get mad at his boss for creating another ritual. The animator hugged his boss tight hoping to give him comfort.

“I’m going to save them.” Joey said through Henry’s sweater.

“What?” Henry asked.

“I’m going to save them.” Joey was about to get ready, but Henry grabbed his hand.

“Joey no.”

Joey glared. “Henry, as your boss I-“

“Joey! Your hurt! Whoever this ‘Joey’ is. He’s dangerous! Look at you Joey! You’re going to die!” Henry yelled. Now it was the animator’s turn to cry. “Please Joey. Let’s plan this before you get yourself into more danger. Please.”

Joey looked at Henry and back at the door leading to his office. Joey hugged the animator to comfort him. Joey was all right, for now. His toons are in danger, but he can’t do anything now. All he can do is hope his toons are together, safe and sound planning to find away out of the hell they’re trapped in.

Bendy woke up to a new sight. He rubbed his eyes and saw he was back at the studio.

Or, so he thought.

The little demon saw he was in ‘Joey’s’ office, but the atmosphere in the place was spooky, cold, dark and inky. “Do you like it?” Bendy turned his head and saw ‘Joey’ sitting at desk his hands together looking at the devil. “Its perfect. It’s a dream come true.”

“This isn’t a dream come true! This is a literal hell!” Bendy yelled. ‘Joey’ didn’t respond only chuckling as he got up from his chair.

“You’re an interesting little devil, aren’t ya?” ‘Joey’ faced the demon, as the later backed away.

“Where are my siblings!?” Bendy yelled.

‘Joey’ roared with laughter. “Oh your siblings are fine, for now. Though I did have to keep you guys separate.” Bendy growled and tried to attack ‘Joey’, but the evil Joey was just too powerful for the young toon. ‘Joey’ pushed Bendy to a wall, making some ink splatter.

“Where are they?” Bendy asked, weak from the attack.

“Oh Bendy. I can’t spill any of my secrets too you. Besides your perfect for my little plan.” Every word ‘Joey’ said he got closer and closer to the little imp’s face making the later uncomfortable.

Deeper into the studio, Alice was woken to the sound of someone singing. “Hello.” She called out. The angel looked around seeing no one around, then the song started again. “Hello.” She called out again, louder this time.

She heard footsteps and felt a sigh of relief someone heard her. However, that relief turned into fear when she saw who was coming to her.

It was herself.

Back in the real world, night had already fallen; Henry offered to stay at the studio to keep an eye on Joey. However, the animator was already asleep on his favorite couch.

“Bendy, Boris, Alice. Hang on. I’m coming.” With that said Joey did the spell once more and went inside the mirror to rescue his kids.
