BATIM AU: An Angel With Wings

A Dance

"You're back!" Sammy said as Susannah ran up to him.

"Yeah, and Bendy gave me a Bendy plushie to go with my Boris one. I'll be back!" She scooted into her room and both the ink creatures smiled at her.

She got upset again, Bendy scrawled.

"Mm. You can't expect her to be okay, she's only a kid," Sammy whispered, Bendy nodded in agreement.

"Where are we going, Sammy?" She inquired, walking back out of her room.

"You'll have to wait, little sheep. Now come on, let's go. I need to make two portals."

Susannah nodded and Sammy held hands with her and walked through a portal.

Bendy felt irritated that the music director had a better relationship with her, but then remembered who he was.

He was a tall and skeletal demon, with his spine poking out his back. He had a large limp which always bugged him, one large gloved hand and ink dripping over his face, covering his eyes.

No wonder, he thought as ink dripped down him. I'm hideous.

His ink went runny as he continued to think about himself.

"After you," Sammy motioned to the cart in front of them.

They were back at the amusement park, and Sammy was showing her a ride.

"Why thank you, kind sir," she stepped into it, and Sammy squeezed in next to her.

The bar went down and the two were off.

"We're in the haunted house," Sammy explained as they followed a rail. "I really want to show you something here."

"Okay," Susannah giggled as a ghost popped up from behind a gravestone.

"I knew we should've walked," Sammy grumbled as he recoiled.

"Is someone scared of a few haunted house props?" She teased. "Aww, don't worry, I'll hold your hand."

"Shut up," he winced as another one sprung.

"Okay," she held her other hand up. She felt his hand squeeze hers each time a cartoon pop-up shot up.

They reached two sets of western doors, when they pushed through both of them they were met with a large room.

It had debris scattered around with planks and fabric. A few crates still stood intact, there were tiles in the middle. A chandelier hung from the ceiling, the walls were covered in an almost green patterned wallpaper and there were unusual paintings on the walls.
"This is the ballroom," Sammy said as he lifted the metal bar and jumped out of the moving cart, Susannah followed and leapt out.

He led her out to the tiled floor.

"Wait here," he ran over to the crates and pried open one.

Picking up a radio inside, he ran back over to her and fiddled with the knobs. A loud static came through before he reached a nice instrumental song.

"May I have this dance?" He bowed to her and held out his hand.

"I, um..."

She had never been asked to dance before!

"I'll take that as a yes."

He placed his hand under hers and held it just above shoulder height. Putting his hand on her side, he moved her arm up to his shoulder.

"Sammy, I don't know how to dance!" She cried as he pulled her along with him.

"Just follow my lead," he laughed, and the two swayed to the violins. A deep bass played, as well as a soft piano.
