The Broken Loop

Chapter 8: Time to Move Again

"Then let's go." Alice says while leaving the hideout, we all follow.

Several minutes later we are already lost.

"Weird, this was a hallway a minute ago." Alice says.

"Well apparently it's not anymore." Bendy says, rolling his eyes.

Its a dead end, Sammy turns to go back
"Guys." He says.
We turn around, there should be a way back where we came from, but it's just a wall. Everyone excluding Alice, mutters several different swear words under their breath.

"Tom, think you can break this wood with that axe of yours?" Bendy asks.
Tom and I turn to look, a hallway is forming, it has a bunch of wood blocking the path.

"How do we know it isn't a trap?" Alice points out.

"If you have a better idea I'm sure we would all love to hear it." Bendy retorts.

"He's got a point." Sammy says while Tom starts clearing a path, we start following. Me behind Tom, Alice behind me, then Bendy, then Sammy, if Boris was here, he would be behind Sammy because of his advanced senses.

It's been about thirty minutes. I run straight into Tom when he suddenly stopped, I quickly signal for the others to stop.
"What is it?" I ask Tom in a whisper.

Pov: Boris

I haven't seen any more of those statues. . . Or anything at all, it's nothing more than a dark abyss here.

Wherever here is.

I haven't run into any kind of creatures at all, it's almost as if I'm the only thing here. I keep thinking about that statue I broke.

Who is this 'Mister Emily'? I ask myself for the thousandth time.

I hear something. I freeze immediately.

What am I hearing?

I can't tell if I have actually gone mad or if I'm actually hearing something.

So I listen, trying to be as silent as possible. It's almost as if I'm hearing footsteps right in front of me, I reach my hand out and try to grab whatever is there.
Nothing.

Is it my mind playing tricks on me? Or side effects from breaking that statue? Strangely enough, I don't think it's the latter, I think I was supposed to break that statue.

I start walking again, I don't even know why I'm still going, there's obviously nothing here, at least that I know of.

I don't even know how long it's been, but theres still noth-- I see something, I go over to it. It's another statue, I put my ear against it, listening.

"You look exhausted." A male says, adult I think.

" Yes, thank you for figuring that out, Sherlock. " that's the same male voice from that other statue, and he does sound exhausted, but this time his voice sounds well, exhausted but also. . . . .

Happier?

"You should really get some sleep."

" I'm fine, William. Besides, if I sleep now I won't fall asleep tonight. "

Who's this "William" person?

"Good point, how are your kids doing?" 'William' asks him.

"They're doing well, speaking of which, I need to go pick them up from kindergarten."

"See you."

" Later"

Interesting.  I think as I knock over this statue, breaking it, just like the last one. I don't know why, but it still feels right to break them. . .

That stupid mutt! He broke another one of my statues!

But who's this "William" person? And why was I talking with him?
And why did I sound like one of those voices I keep hearing?
