Rehired [Chapter 6]

[Note: Thank you for your patience with this chapter, I knew how it would go just had a very hard time writing it down to those points.]

Ao3 Version: [HERE]

Cleaning up her desk and setting up her bag to head back home, Audrey made her way to the time clock to end her shift.

After pulling her card out of the device and back in the slot, she was startled when Allison called out her name while walking over to her. Audrey didn't want to talk due to exhaustion, but she figured a small chat won't hurt, and Bendy and Bendy Jr have left over food back at home to eat.

"What's up, Allison?" The cartoonist asked trying to keep up a happy facade, "I thought your shift ended hours ago? It's nearly 12."

Holding out her hand which Audrey subconsciously took, Allison slowly lead her away. "I chose to stay behind to finish up some documents, but other than that." She looked over at Audrey who looked on edge and gave her a soft smile. "I want you to help me with something in my office real quick."

Annoyed by the sudden request but also not willing to be vocal about it, Audrey followed her. She stared down at the hand that held hers and thought about how soft Allison's hand was, they even had a gentle grip to them. Audrey blinked and shook her head clear of any thoughts as they reached her office, the two walking in and Allison closing the door behind them.

The small buzz of calm Audrey had been replaced with a sharp headache upon her eyes spotting Susie sitting at Miss Pendle's desk, her eyes snapped over to the older woman that held her hand with a look of betrayal who replied with a knowing smile.

"I know you two's last interaction ended poorly, but Susie here wants to talk to you." Allison had to drag Audrey over to the spare chair and sat her down, ignoring the girl's protest. "And you two are staying here until that talk is done."

The two women side eyed each other and quickly looked away while Allison sat at her chair, her arms resting on the desk as her mouth formed into a sly smile. "And I won't be afraid to enforce your stay by locking this whole building down." She snapped her head to a tilt while resting her chin onto her palm, the mere expression startled the two. "Do you understand?"

They both slowly nodded and responded in unison, "Yes, Ma'am."

Giving them a nod and leaning back in her seat, Miss Pendle stared at Susie expectedly. "Now, Susie, I am going to leave this room for a bit." She stood up off her chair and walked towards the door. "You better have apologized to Audrey and have made up by the time I get back."

Before the two could protest against Allison, she left and locked the room. Leaving the two to awkwardly sit there and avoiding eye contact, both being very fidgety in their seats.

The silence was agonising and it drove Susie insane, so she finally spoke up.

"I admit I shouldn't have acted the way I did yesterday, I should've just said a simple no. But I didn't and that's my mistake." Her fingers began fidgeting with each other, unsure of what Audrey's expression was. "I was truthful when I said that despite how much I loathed your father yet had no bitterness towards you, but my feelings for him overthrew the fact that you weren't him and I let it get the better of me."

Finally looking over at Audrey, Susie was almost shocked to see little to no change to her expression, just a blank stare into nothing. So she continued.

"When I first met you, Audrey, I had an interest in you because you reminded me of someone and I couldn't figure out who. Until after that fun incident in your office and I picked up that pin of yours, that's when it all clicked and memories came back." The actress furrowed her brows, not wanting to dwell too much into her past. "Afterwards I just kept seeing him everytime I looked at you, but the reactions you had whenever I would touch you and how compliant you were to my unnecessary request helped ease me."

Shifting her gaze to the floor as a soft smile unconsciously grew on her face, "The way you became red and easily melt at my touch quickly became addicting and the mere thought that I was constantly in your mind felt amazing, like I had control again." The frown returned and she looked back at Audrey who remained unchanged, a hand slowly reaching out to touch the girls face. "But other than that, I did what I did yesterday because I realized after reading your letter that I was acting like what Joey did to me."

As her hand touched Audrey's cheek, it seemed to snap the girl out of whatever trance she was in and she frowned. She felt nothing, no heart skipping, no heat raising inside her, nothing like how she felt when the woman would touch her which just angered her further as did the pain of her headache. She brushed Susie's hand away startling her and got up off the seat.

"You can't just do that." Audrey spoke up through a broken voice as she walked towards the door. "You can't do something like that and expect me not to feel something." She looked over at Susie, brows raised up in a saddened expression as tiny droplets of tears trickled down.

As she looked away to try to open the door Susie shot up off the chair and bolted to her, grabbing the sleeve of her shirt pulling her back. The actress looked at her with guilt and desperation, Audrey didn't even look back just stared at the door that failed to open.

"I know and I'm sorry." Letting go of her shirt and holding her hands nervously, she got closer to the artist and went to continue but was cut off when the other abruptly spoke up.

"I hate that I did. I hate that I was foolish enough to let my feelings get a hold of me!"

Suddenly turning around around to face the older woman as a full stream of tears ran down her face, her nails digging into her palms that blood dripped through her fingers. "I HATE THAT MY FIRST FEELINGS OF ATTRACTION WAS YOU! I HATE THAT MY FIRST WET DREAM WAS YOU! I HATE THAT EVERYTIME I WOULD TRY TO SLEEP YOU WOULD APPEAR IN MY MIND TO KEEP ME AWAKE! I HATE THAT I AM TARGETED FOR WHAT MY FATHER WHO I BARELY KNEW DID AND NEARLY DYING FROM IT!" Her voice croaked and she caught her breath to continue while clenching her chest covering it in her blood, ignoring the pain in her chest. "I AM NOT MY FATHER! I AM NOT JOEY DREW!"

The room stood silent and still, the older woman stood there in utter shock at Audrey who stood there breathing heavily, her head pounding so harshly that she held it in pain. Susie was quick to collect herself and gently ushered her back on the chair while examining her bleeding palms. The sight made her cringe with a grimacing look of deep regret.

"I'm sorry, what can I do to make it up to you?" Susie asked while looking around the room for a first aid kit in hopes she could give her an answer.

The artist used her shoulder to dry her eyes before sniffling, she stared down at her bloody palms, the migraine still pounding her head but not as bad as it was seconds ago. "I don't know..."

Going through the therapist's desk and getting out the desired kit before swiftly going to assist Audrey's injury. Shifting her seat to face Audrey and sitting in front of her, Susie opened the box and got out the needed supplies.

"Give me your hands, hon." She asked and watched the other hesitantly shifted over to reach her hands out to her, the nails on the girl must've been sharp considering how well they cut her skin. As she began properly cleaning the hand, Susie continued speaking to avoid the silence.

"Earlier you mentioned that you were targeted for being Joey's daughter, what did you mean by that?" The question made the girl grimace.

"What does it matter to you? You wouldn't care." She winced in surprise as Susie gripped her hand.

"I'm trying to be sincere here, Audrey." Susie began wrapping up her hand. "If you didn't want to talk about it, just say it."

Audrey glanced at her hands before looking at Miss Campbell in deep thought. "How can I tell when you're being sincere? You're extremely hard to read, it's frustrating."

Looking up to meet her stare, Susie answered honestly. "Just tell me what I can do to make it up to you." She let go of her hands and put the box on the desk. "But it better not involve something humiliating like running around naked in the studio, that's a line I'll draw at."

A small laugh escaped the artist which got the attention of the actress, seeing her smile made Susie smile.

At that moment the older woman remembered something and went to get something out of her dress pocket, that something being Audrey's letter.

The sight of it surprised Audrey and she was vocal about it, "You kept it? But why?"

Susie unfolded the paper and placed it down on the desk, "I genuinely loved it, it's cheesy but has it's charms that are unique to your character." Her smile became faint as she eyed the letter. "It also made me realise how deep I had gone when toying with you and overall gave me a slap of reality."

Audrey glanced at the letter before back at Susie, "I need to know, what was your relationship with him?"

Susie grimaced at the question but proceeded to answer, she felt that she needed to. "We were a secret thing for a short while at his studio, he was quite the charmer back than and I fell in love with such charms." She held her hands in a tight grip. "He would tell me many things that I believed and loved, he said my voice was amazing and that there could be no other."

"Joey showed himself to be a gentleman and great boss, an image many fell for." Her grip on her hands loosened as she let out a sigh. "At first I thought he had loved me, but he really just used me for his own benefits. He never even gave me a reason or even talked to me, just sent me a letter saying that I was no longer needed."

The actress didn't realise it, but tears were rolling down her face and Audrey saw it. "And that was the last time I saw him, I tried to call but he never picked up."

Reaching her hands out and taking Susie's hands, Audrey gently pulled her into her hug. It confused the older woman at first but she quickly embraced it, burying her face into the other's shoulder.

Audrey rubbed Susie's back, pure sympathy all over her being. "I'm sorry, I never knew how bad my father was."

"No!" Susie pulled away from the hug and held onto the girl's shoulder while frowning at her. "It's not your fault! You never knew! That was my mistake in the first place and I can't allow you to take any blame for it!"

Audrey cracked out a laugh and wiped her eyes, "I guess we were screwed by him in some ways. He abandoned me with his problems and he played with your heart before breaking it." She formed a weak smile. "Almost makes me regret suddenly kissing you that time."

Susie blinked in slight surprise and smirked, "And why is that? I didn't see a problem with it at all, I surely remember-" She twirled her finger around the other's tie and pulled her close, both of them blushing. "-Encouraging you~."

The artist stared wide eyed at her for a moment before bursting out into small giggles, pulling herself back to the actress's disappointment. "I just thought with the history of you two, I was unknowingly acting like him during that moment." She calmed herself down and looked back at her, puzzled by her frown. "What's wrong?"

Reaching her hands out and touching the girl's arms, Susie pouted upon getting no reaction. "You're not flustered from my touch anymore!" She whined, startling Audrey. "That was my favourite part when around you."

Audrey furrowed her brows and looked down at the woman's hands, she really didn't feel that heart rush at all from her, it saddened the artist a bit. "I don't know why to tell you the truth, I just don't feel whatever your presence made me feel anymore." She looked back at her while reminiscing that moment at her desk, "You said you'll do something for me to make up what you did?"

Susie looked at her and smiled, "Have you thought of what it is yet?"

"Don't worry about it." Audrey answered with a slight smile. "Holding grudges feels wrong and it would be out of character of me to do so."

The actress let out a short laugh of amusement, "Well the offer is still there if needed." She crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair.

"But" The girl fiddled with her thumbs, "What exactly are we? Do we just continue as colluege or?"

Susie raised her brows in thought and undecidedness before cupping her chin, "Hm, how do you want us to be with each other? I'm completely satisfied with being friends with benefits." She smirked at the girl's face blushing.

"I mean." Audrey cleared her throat and rubbed her neck while laughing in surprise, "I wouldn't be disapproval of the idea."

"Excellent!" Susie exclaimed as she stood up off the seat, "Now if you ask me, I'm feeling myself in need of a drink."

Glancing over at the door and getting off the chair, Audrey stepped towards the door to open it and sighing upon it still being locked. "Why is there even a doorknob like this? It should be easy to open on the inside!"

Turning her attention back to Susie to respond she was shocked to see her going through Allison's desk, "What are you doing?! You can't go through her private stuff!" The girl questioned as the actress hummed.

"I saw her sneak a bottle in her office the other day and haven't seen it be walked out, I say we both deserve a drink." Her eyes lit up as she got out a fancy bottle of whiskey and cackled. "Aha!"

"That's Allisons', Susie!" Audrey went to take the bottle from her but was met with a foot in her face to stop her from getting closer, her movements moving the wheeled chair backwards. "She's probably saving that for something special!"

Giggling as she finally got the bottle opened and giving it a dramatic sniff, Susie took a sip and licked her lips. "I must say, Pendle chose very well."

Moving the woman's feet away from her and glaring at her, Miss Drew folded her arms and huffed. "Last warning, Susie. Give it back."

Looking up at the artist and back to the bottle with a mischievous expression, Susie suddenly turned around off the chair and ran away from Audrey who followed her around the desk, knocking over a few objects. The cartoon like chase continuing until Audrey slipped on a pen and hit the ground with a grunt, Susie carefully walking back to check on her and smirked when met with a glare.

Standing over the fallen woman and sitting down onto her stomach while humming, Susie playfully twirled her fingers around Audrey's tie and took another long sip. Audrey frowned slightly as the woman dragged her nails up her neck and to her lips, she thought a simple kiss was coming her way with the way Susie leaned in close, not even taking into account that the actress didn't swallow the drink.

Her eyes widen upon Susie pressed her lips against hers sneaking the alcohol into her mouth, the taste was bitter and made the girl's tongue tingle. She tried to not swallow the liquid but failed after Susie playfully bit her bottom lip, her coughed and gagged from the taste before pushing the other away.

"What the hell, Susie!" She stuck her tongue out in disgust making the actress giggle. "That taste disgusting!"

"Everyone's first time having a sip of the devil's nectar is never a good time, honey." The older woman licked her lips and opened up Audrey's mouth with her thumb. "Now open wiiide~"

Before Audrey could protest the actress held the bottle above her and poured the whiskey into her mouth, Audrey swallowing to avoid choking and making a mess. Only ever being able to close her mouth when Susie stopped pouring the now half empty bottle and gently slapped her cheek, the taste still being bitter and weirdly spicy.

"Good girl, I was afraid that I was going a tad bit too far." Susie placed the bottle on the desk and scooted back onto the girl's lap before tugging on her tie to sit her up, "But how about we have a proper kiss?"

Pressing her lips against the other and wrapping her arms around her in a hold, Audrey was quick to comply with the kiss and held onto Susie's waist.

The kiss was slow, hot and messy. Susie took her time savouring the girl's whiskey coated lips while Audrey was gradually becoming more handsy and needy, the older woman had to admit that she loved how grabby she was.

Though she was caught off when Audrey growled and held onto her as she propped herself up on her knees, Susie had her arms around the other's neck as to not fall over as they slowly got up on their feet.

Taking a moment to separate their lips, Susie stared in surprise. "Oh wow, you're quite the strong one." She laughed before slowly noticing something off.

Audrey stared groggily at her with her deeply flustered expression before she than sat her on the desk, a face Susie recognised at parties and bars.

She couldn't be, it was only half a bottle.

"How are you feeling, Audrey?" She asked holding back a moan as the girl buried her face into her neck.

Planting kisses on the older woman's neck and upper chest causing her to rumble out moans, Audrey tugged her dress up above her waist and slipped her own hands under Susie's bra clip to remove them before responding.

"Head feels buzzy yet hot." As she removed them from the woman's body and tossing them aside, Audrey trailed her tongue to between Susie's breast and fondled them. "It feels good."

Oh no, Susie hadn't thought of this happening. Audrey's an extreme lightweight.

Susie herself was biting her finger to stifle her pleased moans and rubbing her fingers through the younger woman's hair. "Perhaps giving you that whiskey was a bad idea." A deep moan escaped her lips as Audrey suckled and bit the side of her neck, leaving a visible mark. "Or maybe it was a wonderful idea~."

Shifting one hand to slip under Susie's panties and rubbed two fingers at her folds, the motion making the actress shudder and drip. Audrey glanced up at Susie and watched as she slowly became undone by her fingers, taking the moment of the actress jerking and groaning did she halt her movements to change their position.

Laying the older woman down on Allison's desk moving aside any objects in their way and continuing her hand motions, Audrey slipped two fingers in and breathed heavily as Susie clenched around her while gasping out a moan. Slipping her fingers in and out with swift ease before using her palm to rub her clit and receiving an even louder moan of satisfaction, Audrey leaned her head closer to Susie's chest and lowered the collar down with her teeth to fully expose her breast, eagerly slipping one nipple into her mouth and sucking on it.

Susie was beside herself with what the girl was doing to her, her vocal moans uncontrolled as was the trembling from her body and her pussy wouldn't stop dripping with juices. She wanted much more from her, she wanted her to push more of her buttons.

Than Audrey stopped and pulled her fingers out, Susie snapped up to get an explanation for the sudden disruption and was quickly answered when see the young woman kneel down in front of her, only the top of her head being visible.

The artist held Susie's legs in place as she stared in awe of the woman's sex, her mouth practically watering at the mere thought of getting a taste as she moved her head closer. A simple lick was all it took for Audrey to dive right in and eagerly devour the actress, the cries of pleasure muffled out as Audrey became lost to her own drunken lust at that moment. She didn't care for the tugging of her hair nor the pressure the other's legs had around her head, the scent and sensation was what she cared for.

"Just a little more~!" Susie moaned out as her nails massaged Audrey's scalp, her head jerking back as she felt the other's tongue circle around inside of her. "Oh we really should've done this sooner, doll~." She bit down on her index finger to muffle her loud cries.

Lifting her head up slightly to put her mouth over the older woman's clit and slipped three fingers into her, Audrey smirked pridefully upon Susie spilling out all kinds of erotic cries of ecstasy as she reached her orgasm. The artist not even bothering to lick up her mess and just stood up straight wiping her mouth with her palm, the actress too much in recovery mode to process the other going through Allison's office supplies and grabbing something with a grin.

After finally collecting herself and sitting up on her elbows, Susie stared wide eyed as Audrey held up a stamp handle and pressed it against the woman's pussy.

"Wa-Wait a moment! I don't think it'll even get in!" Susie said in a panic not wanting to risk getting hurt by the wooden object.

"Don't worry." Audrey reassured her with the same grin. "I'm just lubing it up."

Before the older woman could question further Audrey slid the handle into Susie's ass, her body jolted upward in surprise upon it entering her. It didn't hurt her in anyway it just felt weird a good weird, she had never had anything put up there before in her life.

Slowly wiggling and twisting the object making her shudder out confused moans, Audrey shoved it in deeper until only the end was visible before she went to grab more objects. Susie sat in place trying to stop trembling since the handle would shift slightly each time she moved and forcing a moan out of her, it didn't help that she knew Audrey wasn't done and groaned when the girl knelt back down in front of her thighs.

She didn't even hesitate to shove her face back in, her tongue twirling inside of Susie's pussy as she groaned and moaned.

"What's your endgame, Audrey?!" Susie shakily demanded, a gasp escaping her as the girl pulled the stamp out. "If you're attempting to make me look pathetic, you won!"

Grabbing onto Susie's legs and hungrily licking and sucking what she could to the point the actress was blubbering out nonsense, Audrey couldn't help but shift her hand into her own pants and pleasure herself. Moving her head back she grazed her teeth against the woman's left inner thigh and looked up at her half lidded, Susie couldn't even speak or process what she was planning as the other bite down on her thigh causing her to yelp loudly.

"Not so hard!" Susie flinched upon Audrey licking the mark, pained yet pleasurable trembles coursed through her body.

Suddenly the door of the room opened as Allison happily walked in holding a bag of food.

"Sorry I took so long-" Miss Pendle halt to a frozen stop at the sight that bestowed upon her.

Before Audrey could even turn her head she was hit hard in the head with Susie's foot in a panic. She wasn't entirely knocked out as she could faintly hear the muffled ramblings from the two women, only occasionally blacking out for a few minutes.

"What the hell, Susie?! You probably severely hurt her!"

"I panicked! I didn't know you would walk in! Help me pick her up!

"Already am! What were you two even doi-... WHY IS MY STAMP WET AND IS THAT MY WHISKEY?!"

"Don't ask, just help me!"

"Her head seems fine and I see no visible bruises, annnnd her pants are down. Did you two really have to do it in my office?"

"Hey now, Audrey started it all."

"Okay"

"After I accidentally got her drunk"

"Accidently?!?!"

The next thing Audrey could faintly make out in her surroundings while being carried after blacking out was the outside, the nice cold breeze giving her a great comfort.

"How do you even know where she lives?"

"She mentioned it to me one time on a train ride home, only the building description though."

"This is going to be fun..."

After losing consciousness for what felt like forever and regaining it, the artist found herself inside her home at the front entrance. She groaned uncomfortably as she moved her head to a stretch and spotted Bendy Jr casually walking up to them in greetings, Audrey immediately escaped the hold of the two and laid down to cuddle up to the kitten while baby talking to them.

"Bendy Jr!" The drunken girl giggled as the furry baby meowed happily in response.

"You have a cat named after Bendy?" Susie questioned with furrowed brows of quiet judgement.

Meanwhile Allison knelt down next to Audrey, eyes lighting up in awe. "You never mentioned you had a cat." She helped the woman back up.

Rubbing her face against the kittens side and giggling, Audrey sighed. "Is your brother asleep?" She gasped and held the cat close to her chest. "We should be quiet if he is, he can be quite grumpy when woken up." She gently put the kitten down.

Shaking her head and pinching the bridge of her nose, Susie closed the front door and locked it. "My god, she has two cats."

"You have two?" Allison whispered towards Audrey with joyfulness in her eyes, "I would love to see both of them." The therapist wrapped an arm around her and leading her down the hallway with Campbell following behind. "But first we gotta get you to bed, missy."

After reaching the cartoonist's dark room and laying her down on the bed, Allison and Susie laid down next to her in a exhausted huff as Audrey laid in the middle giggling.

"You two don't have to stay here with me" Audrey rolled over on her side facing Susie and grabbed her face to a squish, "But I'm glad to have human company."

Smiling softly and laying on her side, Allison rested her head on top her palm. "We're just wanting to make sure that you're going to be safe when intoxicated, you'll be surprised how many injuries happen when the person under the influence can get even when at home."

Susie eyeing the girl with interest and a hidden smirk, "You're a lot more giggly than you were before, doll." She pulled her close to Allison's disapproval and held her chin, Audrey staring up innocently at her. "Perhaps I should take this moment to be on top this time."

Giving Susie a unimpressed frown at the idea she was implying and removing her arm away from the girl to her protest. "Don't even think about it, Susie." She sat up against the bed frame and crossed her arms. "As long as I'm here, Audrey's resting up with us until she's sober."

Turning her head forward and shifting around to get comfortable, Allison closed her eyes. "Now let's get some sleep, it's been a long da-" She jolted her eyes open upon Audrey sitting up on top the woman's lap with a smug expression, Allison blushed wide eyed as she slowly began unbuttoning her shirt. "Hey now! I don't think that's a good idea."

"She's right!" Susie added as she sat up in jealously, "You're going to the wrong woman here, Audrey!"

Grabbing onto Miss Pendle's flustered face and chuckled, "I already gave you plenty of kisses." She leaned in close to Allison's face. "I've gotta give Allison attention too."

Their lips connected before Allison could speak and Susie watched offendedly but knew she couldn't stop them, but perhaps she could do something else to be involved.

Holding onto Audrey's shoulder's while sweetly kissing her, Allison was quick to melt into the woman's advances and slid her hands under her shirt pulling them off. She went to fondle her chest but found a pair of hands already there, the hands belonging to Susie who sat behind the girl roughly kissing her neck.

Wanting to keep her hands busy instead of just holding, Allison moved her hands down Audrey's chest to her lower abdomen and lowered her pants. Their lips separated so the young woman could a surprised moan after two finger entered into her, her hips gyrating in sync to the other's hand motion.

"Christ" Allison breathed out in awe while watching her palm get covered in vaginal juices, "She's so wet, Susie." She swallowed before entering a third finger, rewarding her with a pathetic whimper from Audrey and a sloppy kiss.

The actress glared at the other woman and swiftly slipped her hand under Audrey to shoved two of her fingers in as well, the extra pair entering the girl made her pull away to groan loudly before she than sluggishly moved her hips again.

"I feel a weird rush~" Audrey moaned out through stutters, her arms wrapped tightly around Allison and her waist movements twitching to an unwanted slow, desperate tears trickling down her face. "I'm gonna cum~!"

The two older women knew what was coming and repeatedly thrusted their fingers into her pussy, Allison pulling her into a deep kiss while Susie went onto leaving harsh marks on her neck and shoulders.

Suddenly she came, her body twitching and trembling as she rode out her orgasm. Her cries muffled by the kiss and her body held in place by the two before gradually letting her go, her body going limp and collapsing onto Allison as she panted heavily to catch her breath.

While Susie sat back admiring the view and cleaning up her fingers with her tongue, Allison rubbed Audrey's back in comfort while softly smiling.

"You feeling better now, Audrey?" She asked before the girl slowly leaned back and gently took her hand covered in her fluid, Allison watched blushing profusely as she began licking up her hand and sucked on her fingers while eyeing her with lust filled eyes.

Than the cartoonist laid down suddenly with an exhausted huff and lost consciousness, leaving the therapist and actress alone.

"Well that's one thing off my bucket list." Susie spoke up with a smirk, "Getting a woman to orgasm by my fingers has been a thing I've been wanting to do for a long time now." She chuckled and looked up at the other. "You good?"

Allison held an arm over her forehead with a mixture of disbelief and embarrassment on her face, "Yeah, it's just that." She held a hand over her mouth while furrowing her brows. "That really got me riled up."

She leaned her head back as Susie let out a laugh, "Fear not, Pendle." She laid next to her and crossed her arms. "She did the same to me before, only difference is that we were interrupted before we could hit second base."

"Hah!" Allison leaned her head forward and shook her head, "Was this in my office or a different time?"

"Oh a totally different time, than again I probably riled her up first by using her face to examine the colour of my lipstick." The woman giggled from the memory. "That moment in your office was definitely my fault, that I'll take blame for."

Miss Pendle let out a quiet laugh and stroked the sleeping woman's hair, "So did you two talk it out? I noticed Audrey's hands, Susie."

The other's demeanour changed to that of soft guilt, "Yeah, we talked. I explained my reasons and my relationship with Joey, she rightfully yelled at me and I accepted it for even I would do the same." Her eyes shifted over to Audrey. "She clenched her hands so hard while screaming at me that her nails managed to cut the skin, she didn't even seem to care that she stained her shirt with her blood."

"If I can be honest, Allison." Susie grimaced and held her hands together. "I am angry at how forgiving she was to me. Joey hurt me and I'm still bitter about it, yet Audrey was easy to just forgive me even after I hurt her the same way he did to me." Tears welled up in her eyes and she wiped them away.

Allison stared at her in great sympathy and reached her arm out towards her for an embrace, an embrace Susie went into.

The two laid there in a cuddle with the third resting atop them until all three fell asleep for the night.

___

Early the next morning as the sunlight seeped into the room lighting it up, the three woman laid sleeping in the owner's bed until one of them stirred away.

Susie groggily opened her eyes and got up with a great struggle while rubbing her eyes, glancing over at the alarm clock she stretched and dragged herself out of bed stirring the other older woman awake.

"Is it morning?" Allison questioned while yawning and stretching.

"Yeah, I'm going to make some breakfast." Susie answered as she stumbled out of the room.

Rubbing her face and inhaling deeply, Allison looked at Audrey who remained asleep and smiled before pulled her into a snuggle. Looking around the room now getting a good look of it with the light, she noticed a book on the night stand and grabbed it.

"The illusion of living, by Joey Drew." Allison mumbled before chuckling, of course he made a book. She opened it and began reading to pass off the time.

A short time passed before Susie entered the room, though she looked a bit pale yet in deep thought.

"Hey, Allison? Would you mind helping me in the kitchen, I'm having a bit of trouble with something." Her voice was shaky but not enough to be noticed.

"Sure thing!" Allison happily answered as she put the book away and carefully got out of bed to follow Susie. "I would love to see her adorable fur babies!"

The two left the room with Audrey in there deep asleep, only ever waking up a few minutes later with a loud snort like snore.

Mumbling out incoherent nonsense as she rubbed the sleep off her face before stretching her limbs out, kicking her legs off the bed and smacking her jaw whilst yawning she tried to remember last night's event.

Getting up off her bed she halt her movements and frowned as memories slowly crept back in, her face going from confusion to absolute embarrassed horror upon remembering what had happened in her bed. She slapped her hands to her face as her face burnt red, she remembered every detail and words said that night.

"Oh my god... I can't believe this, how did that even happen?!" She gasped to herself as another horrifying thought came to mind. "Are-Are they still here?"

Her blood ran cold and she bolted towards the main living area, Bendy and his safety kept racing through her head at rapid speed. As she arrived near the kitchen her heart fell to her stomach.

Both Susie and Allison stood with their backs facing her chatting to each other while looking down at the third presence, Bendy.

Catching the stare of Audrey, Bendy smiled his usual smile and happily waved at her causing the two to look back at her.

Audrey felt sick and it was visible to them enough that they got closer to her in a worry, their words muffled to her ears as she managed to finally speak through a broken voice while clenching onto her shirt.

"Please don't tell anyone about him."

A tense silence filled the room, until the two women pulled Audrey into a tight hug. The embrace startled her even confused her greatly that she stared at them paranoid.

"It must've been so hard to keep this secret for so long." Allison said with sorrowful sympathy as she leaned back and held her face with a smile of reassurance.

Audrey eyed her perplexed not knowing how to react or respond, she looked down at Bendy who hugged her leg tightly while smiling up at her.

"Though you do need to explain-" Susie heavily gestured to Bendy. "-This, because that was the first time coffee wasn't involved to fully wake up my senses."

Having trouble finding what words to even get out, Audrey just stood there like a deer in the headlights. Until her little toon buddy tugged on her leg and lead her to the couch to sit her down on, both Susie and Allison following along.

Finding whatever speech senses she managed to get, Audrey finally spoke.

"I found him in the old studio my father owned."

Susie blinked in shock, "That place is still up?!"

Exhaling deeply and rubbing her arms, Audrey continued with what she could say that didn't involve mentioning the ink realm.

"I was surprised too, but it's how I discovered Bendy and how I found out who my father was." She looked down in deep thought. "The place was practically a death trap with the only source of safety being barrels and makeshift stations."

Miss Pendle leaned forward arms across her legs, "How did you get there, Audrey?"

Susie frowned as if in deep thought and spoke, "Did it have to do with that janitor that went missing?"

Bendy laid onto Audrey's lap and she patted his head, "Wilson kidnapped me and took me there, he tried-" Memories from the ink realm flashed back to her and she held back vomit. "-He tried to kill me for some stupid ritual."

Both women looked at her in shock as she stared back at them before Allison asked, "Did you kill him, Audrey?"

There was hesitation to answer yet she still did, "I thought I did, but it wasn't me who killed whatever he became." She glanced down at the toon demon. "But after that it's a harsh blur to me, I only ever remember him dying and waking up back home with Bendy by my side."

The two older women stared in wide eyed shock and looked at each other in thought, they sat there in silence processing what they had heard until one of them spoke up.

"This little guy really killed him?" Susie pointed at said toon in confusion. "He's just a weird cartoon character."

"Thats what I thought as well." The cartoonist added while reminiscing on the horrid encounters she would have with the ink demon, rubbing her throat and sighing shakily. "But living in such a place as the studio was can do horrors to you."

"How does he even exist?" Campbell questioned with squinted eyes. "I mean, we're practically looking at the impossible here, Audrey."

"Ink machine..." Allison mumbled getting the attention of the two, mostly Audrey who stared wide eyed.

"That piece of junk?" Susie questioned in even more confusion, "The one Joey would kill for?"

Allison suddenly stood up and paced around in deep thought, "I have always wondered why the fascination Joey and workers of Gent had with it, but I would brush it off with it being an expensive device!"

"Allison" Susie said only for the woman to continue her spiel.

"I would spot Joey late at night standing at that damn machine as if he was speaking to it!" She snapped her towards Bendy and swiftly knelt in front of him, startling him a bit. "Did Joey create you with the machine, Bendy?"

Crawling over to hide behind Audrey away from the woman, Audrey sighed and answered for him.

"He's a mute so he can't speak, but the answer is yes." Drew held Bendy close before continuing, "Even I have a hard time figuring out how he managed to do it, but he did."

"Were there others besides him?" Susie tilted her head, "If he came out to be a living being, there should be more, like rejects or attempts to make other toons."

Audrey grimaced remembering the others she met while in that world, especially Alice Angel. But she didn't want to risk exposing too much, showing them the ink realm would be too much to them.

"No, just Me, Bendy and Wilson." She held herself not noticing Bendy's frown. "But other than that, I'm just glad that I'm not alone anymore and that I have a brother now." She smiled softly and hugged Bendy who happily hugged her back.

"Oh how cute." Susie sarcastically said, "But now explain how you found out about Joey being your dad, because we would love to know." She pulled Allison who frowned close to her.

Again she was hesitating to answer with a reasonable answer, how could she even explain that she wasn't human at all.

"While at the studio I found his stuff and saw reels from him along notes, the reel was him venting and sketching his frustrations with the studio and other stuff. He mentioned you, Allison, and how with your involvement he wanted a family. A daughter."

She looked back over at the two, the look of pure shock on Allison's face catching her attention. "The way it all lined up with how my up bringing was and the way he described his daughter, it's like he was there to answer it for me."

"So..." The short actress clenched her fist in anger, "He just created you with some poor woman one day after seeing Allison here and abandoned you?"

"That's not it-"

"Not it my ass!" Susie suddenly stood up and threw her arms up, "What kind of person did he think he was to not only drag others into his messes, but to create a child and leave them alone with no one to be there to love and raise them!"

She poked a finger at Audrey's chest before Allison went to try to calm her, "I do not care what nonsense he spills to try to redeem himself, the axe forgets, the tree remembers." She huffed and turned away. "And the absolute nerve he has to also abandon an innocent cartoon who would have no idea how to survive in such a decrepit place!" She snapped her head back with a glare and crossed her arms.

Audrey sat there silenced and internally winced, Allison sighed between the three and sat back.

"Listen, all is done and we can't go back in time to fix it. All we can do in the present is do what we can to help heal each other, right buddy?" Allison looked down at Bendy and smiled softly at him, he returned the smile and hoped over to hug her. "Does it feel a bit better speaking about it?"

"Honestly." Audrey weakly chuckled "Yeah it kinda does, having to hide him in fear of what others would do to him is a bit of a work out."

Bendy turned over to his sister and gestured to going to work, the idea causing her to frown and answer. "No, you can't come with me to work. You know how busy the building can get, Bendy."

"He wants to go with you to work?" Susie raised her brow at the tiny demon. "Why go to such a boring place?"

"He likes seeing me work and he hates being in here all day. I do occasionally sneak him in, but only when I'm the only one working which has been rare to get recently." The artist sighed, "Which is why I got Bendy Jr." She pointed to the cat that laid on top of the TV. "No, I didn't name him."

"Don't worry!" Allison exclaimed cheerfully as she lifted Bendy up like a child. "I saw your upcoming shift times and it's only you and me this weekend."

A wide smiled appeared on Audrey's face, "Really? That's a relief and it's only to-" Her eyes widen mid sentence and she shot up off the couch. "I HAVE WORK TODAY!"

Running passed them in a rush towards the bathroom to get ready for work, the three standing back watching in amusement before Susie went to follow her.

"I have work too, I'll get ready along with her."

Looking down at the toon with a smile, Allison got off the couch still holding him like a child. "Would you like to help me cook up breakfast?"

Nodding his head happily he cheerfully kicked his feet as the woman wandered over to the kitchen to begin cooking, the little inky toon being sure to help her.

As they set up the bench and plates of pancakes and bacon along with cups of coffee and orange juice, Allison and Bendy added the final touches to fully finish the morning meal.

Maple syrup and whip cream.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY NECK, SUSIE?!" Audrey yelled in the bathroom followed with the suspect cackling loudly.

"This isn't funny! I have no make up to cover them up!"

"Calm down, Doll. You can borrow mine for today."

...

"Oh wow, your skin is a more darker shade than I thought."

"Ya think!"

The two in the kitchen chuckled at the commotion in the bathroom as they ate their food, until the other two finally arrived to the table looking freshened up for the day. Audrey wearing the usual button up shirt with the collar up to cover her neck, clear distaste in her expression as she side eyed the actress who stood there happily ignoring her.

"You two were quick." Allison smirked while sipping her coffee.

Already devouring her pancakes at a quick yet safe pace, Audrey spoke with a mouthful as syrup dripped down her lips. "I don't like being late for work!"

Susie looked on in disgust, "That's not very lady like of you to eat like that."

"Not very lady like of you to pour alcohol in my mouth last night, Susie." Audrey shot a glare before taking a long gulp of her coffee.

"... That's fair." The actress sighed and fiddled with her food.

"Well besides that." Allison cleared her throat, "I don't have to go in today, so if you need me for anything just give me a call."

Wiping her mouth clean of the syrup and swallowing her food, "I would ask you if you could look after both Bendys today, but it'll be awkward for him considering you're a stranger and it takes him getting use to someone in order for him to get comfortable." Audrey nervously smiled at Allison's puppy eyes. "Just interact with him for a bit on my free time and you'll both be good."

"Okay" Allison sighed sadly before going back to her happy self, "Good thing it's only you and me tomorrow."

Audrey returned a smile and laughed, "Yeah." She looked over at Bendy who was licking up his plate. "You excited to go back to the studio tomorrow, bud?"

Bendy turned and happily hopped in his seat, receiving a chuckle from the two women.

"Well we best leave you two alone so you can lock up." Miss Campbell finished her drink and grabbed Allison on her way to the door, ignoring her quiet protest. "Thank you for your hospitality, Audrey."

Awkwardly waving at them as they left, both Drew and Bendy wished them well and to see Susie soon.

Snatching her arm back away and the other woman and frowning at her, Allison proceeded to follow her into the elevator.

"You didn't need to drag me out, you know." The taller woman rubbed her arm.

"She's not telling the full truth."

Allison blinked in surprise before slowly furrowing her brows. "At least I wasn't the only one to notice." She sighed and leaned back against the wall.

Susie stared at the floor in thought, "A while ago I had teased Audrey by using my Alice voice, at first I thought with her reaction that it had just shocked her." She shifted her gaze to the doors. "But after seeing her reaction to us seeing Bendy, I now think it was her having a flashback to whatever Alice was in that place."

"It can't have just been a Bendy, knowing Joey there would be more." The actress grimaced in distaste. "What the hell did Joey do..."

"She mentioned that it was just three of them and that the studio was a death trap, if she lied about the amount of people there." Allison held her chin in thought. "There's a high chance she has a reason to lie us or at least twist the truth."

Sighing and shaking her head in annoyance, Susie walked out of the elevator after reaching the needed floor and looked back at Allison.

"We'll talk about it later, right now it's too early."

"You're right." Allison nodded her head and followed her. "Don't overwork yourself today and don't interrogate Audrey, she's very likely not in the right head space for now."

Huffing out a laugh, Susie crossed her arms. "Don't worry, I'll be sure to be extra nice today."

The two smiled at each and laughed softly before going their separate ways while waving goodbye.

A lot needed to be processed.
