Outcasts x Reader (Bendy and the ink machine au)

*this children, is what happens when you're bored as hell and listen to bendy music for no reason.

*if you're not into batim or haven't heard of it, please wait till my next update. If you are into it, I might be making a oneshot book for it soon!

---------------

You sat at on your bed, bored out of your mind, internet being annoying and prevented you from reading fanfics. Which was irritating.

Your mom called you down. "Y/n! Mails here!"

You groan and get up, silently not wanting to. And you left your room and entered the kitchen, where she was.

"Yeah?" You answer and she tosses a envelope to you. You eye it, seeing no return address. You shrug and open it.

Dear my thoughtful reader, it has been decades since the last update hasn't it?

Well, if you're curious as to why, then come to me. I'm sure you've been wondering how the boys are doing, then stop by the old art studio.

I have something amazing to show you. -With much love, Creator chan.

You stared at the letter weirdly. Who was this person talking about? You shrugged and put the folded letter in your pocket. "Mom I'm going out, I'll by back later."

She nods and continues to type on her phone, waiting on her TV dinner to be done.

You roll your eyes and grabbed a backpack to pack.

-------------

You parked your car then stood in front of the small building, this old place looked very familiar..? It was strange it must have been from a game you played or something.

You took in a deep breath and entered the building. It was very cold, and very messy.

Paint buckets spilled over, creating splats of pinks, oranges, and greens splashes and puddles.

You stepped over as many as you could as you explored the place, a few desks were knocked over many sketchbooks thrown about.

You hated the silence of the place.. It made you feel sick..

The place was huge on the inside, it almost looked like a business.. It was weird. One small room was filled with failed drafts of characters you've never seen before plastered all over the walls.

After walking past that room, you saw blueprints for plushies to be made of a skeleton named Cupid.

His name and look rang a bell.. You could remember a character from books you read.. Then you realized..

This was Creators art studio.

All your memories started flooding back, all the stories and artwork.

You smiled and felt the need to explore even more, you were a huge fan of her and her work.

The Outcasts were always there for you when you had a bad day and would read a their fanfictions

But, then the stories stopped suddenly. Which made you worried for her.

You stepped into another room and felt nausea. On the workbench was Asher, blood on the floor around him.

"Asher!?" You ran to him, and cupped his face in your hands. He was real!?

You felt a few tears fall down your face.. He was dead wasn't he? You wrapped your arms around his torso, hugging him. His scent was true to what the fanfics said, he smelled like pinecones and body spray.

"Oh Asher, who could have done this to you?" You sobbed into his bare chest.

You kept crying, not even noticing his eyes open. Then suddenly he grabbed your wrist.

"Asher!? You're alive!?"

His eyes dart around the room, then meet yours, he nods releasing your wrist.

"What happened?" You ask the wolf skele, he shakes his head and hops off the workbench, and points to the poster of Cupid, then twirls his finger next to his head.

"Cupid went insane?" You ask him. He nods in response then takes your hand, taking you down the hall.

"Where is everyone else?"

He shakes his head and points to a set of stairs you didn't see earlier.

"Down there? Then where is Creator?"

He continues pointing.

"She's down there too?"

He nods and starts to walk down the stairs, handing you a flashlight, while he just used his blue eye to see in the darkness.

---------------

Since you almost lost Asher twice, he kept you in his arms as he walked so you wouldn't get lost again.

"Where are we going?" You whisper. He does a shh motion and his ears perk.

Click, click, click.

Asher's eyes widen and he puts you on his back and runs on all fours running away from the clicking feet.

-------------

He suddenly stops, panting. And he sets you down in a lone beanbag chair.

"Asher what was that? And why did you run from it?"

He gives you a sad look which suddenly turns to terror.. Looking above you?

"Ash.. What is behind me right now?" You speak slowly.

He shakes his head and his tail goes between his legs.

A small drip burned into your arm, you slowly looked up and felt your heart stop.

Fear was above you, his torso being a black widow's body, his face splitting in two halves, black gunk pouring out of his mouths. One tiny pupil dilated.

He took one of his legs and swung it, it almost piercing into your chest, Asher whimpers and backs away slowly.

"Asher!" You scream making Fear hop off the ceiling cornering you.

You close your eyes, feeling his breath on your face, the gunk getting all over your clothes.

Right before he bites you he turns his head and lets out a screech, crawling up the wall and running off.

Click, click, click, click.

You laid completely still, opening your eyes to see what the clicking was coming from.

A horned figure limped over to you, his back hunched, spine showing, torn into his tattered vest, his tail bent and dragging on the floor. The clicking came from his feet.

"Lockheart?" You whisper.

His head tilted as he craned his neck, facing you.

He had changed dramatically. His halo was missing, right eye having a painful crack going down it, his mouth was stuck in a forever grin.

"...." He tries to stand straight only cracking his back in a sickening way. He gives up and wobbles over to you, his arms out.

Your pupils shrink in fear, but he only wraps his arms around you. It was a hug.. ?

You slowly hug him back. "What happened to you?"

He purrs into your neck, making you blush.

He soon pulls away and looks at you, his dull red eye scanning you, he makes a come here motion with his hand, as he walks down a hall.

You follow the crooked demon.

-------------

He stops in a room where you can hear talking. He points into the room he wants you to go into.

"Do I go in there?"

He nods.

"Why can you?"

He shakes his head and points to himself. Writing on the wall with red ink. Too scary.

You nod. "Okay, be careful out there okay bud?"

He purrs again, then disappears around the corner.

You then walk into the room, and see very familiar faces.

Hallow sat on a worn down couch, eating a bowl of candy, Coby sat across from him, dead snakes covering his eyes.

"Hallow? Coby? Is that really you?" You ask carefully, afraid that they'd hurt you too.

Hallow turns his head to you. "Y/n? Vwhat are you doing here? Are you hurt?"

You shake your head. "No, my arm stings from Fear's venom.. But he didnt get me. What happened here?"

Hallow shakes his head. "Vwe don't really know. One moment vwe vwere a drawing, then the next vwe vwere alive, in this place."

You sigh. "Why can't the others talk?"

Hallow sighs as well. "Lockheart never got a voice, Fear's throat is burnt badly, and Asher's...Vwell.. I'm not sure vwith that one."

Coby speaks suddenly, his deep causal voice sent a shiver up your back. "..if you're looking for Creator, shes with the angel. Good luck trying to find them."

You sit on the floor next to him, crossing your arms. "I heard that Cupid went insane?"

Coby nods, limp dead snakes shook slightly. ".. He couldn't become alive with both Romeo and Lockheart in him at the same time. Creator tried taking them out, thus making Lockheart f**ked up. And Romeo become obsessed with Cupid, Cupid went insane over Creator. Only wanting her all to himself.. Us getting neglected.. Without her, we can't be fixed.."

Hallow pats him on the shoulder. "She could fix us. But.. Cupid won't allow her to leave.."

You stand suddenly, startling the Gorgon. "I'll help you guys get her back, we need a plan."

They both look at each other than you. "Were all ears."
