[13] The Ritual

The day of the ritual

Twilight woke up in her library. She had forgotten that she had fallen asleep there. She looked over at her calander and realized. Today is the day. She slightly gasped. Sh equickly got one her hooves and hurried to the bathroom to wash up. Her friends will be comming any minute. She looked in the mirror and saw the mess that she was. Though she was relived that the stress will be over today.
She fixed her mane and washed her face. She then hurried over to the Throne room and sat on her trone. She also wondered if Bendy was going to show up, since he must have finnished preparing. All of a sudden the doors burst opened, and Rainbow dash apeared, panting. Twilight noticed her wings were bound. "Rainbow dash, What happened to you?" She asked.

Rainbow walked over to her throne and sat down. "Stress Training. The hospital forbid me to fly for a week" She explained. Twilight frowned, but didn't say anything. Then Pinke arrived. She was carrying Boxes of, Probably Patries. She put them on the table and sat down on her throne. "I spent this week preparing what we were gonna do after the ritual" She said.
"Bendy actually gave me a warning. That you will porpbably have to stay the night over to recover. So i've decorated the library" Twilight explained. Pinkie Pie blinked. "Oh well, I braught some pastries just in case" She said. "We're staying here for the night?" Came the voice of Rarity. The three ponies looked to the door to see the Fashion pony, She was wearing a, Rather pretty outfit. It was a sleeveless, Black dress decorated with a white bowtie. It was simple, yet pretty. A Bag was also in her magic grasp.

"Good thing these Oufits can be night gowns aswell" She said, stepping in. "I spent the whole week sewing. It wasn't healthy, but atleast i can put them to use" She explained, putting the bag on the table as she sat down on her throne. Twilight sighed. "I guess we all did something that was Unhealthy, but luckily after today, Our Anxiety will end" She said. The others smiled at that.
"I really hope so" Came the voice of Applejack. The ponies saw her enter. However she was a bit different. She wasn't wearing her signature Hat, and her mane and tail wasn't in her ribbons. "I was sto stressed to get here, i didn't fix my mane!" She exclaimed, sitting down on her throne. Rarity sighed. "Well, Just leave that to me" She said, pulling out a brush from her bag. She stepped towards Applejack who gave the Unicorn a smile.

As Rarity fixed her friend's mane, Fluttershy stepped in. "Oh? Am i the last one? Sorry if i'm late" She apolagized, sitting down on her throne. "You aren't late fluttershy. Actually i'm unsure when we're going to start" Twilight said. Rainbow groaned. "I hope it's soon" She said. Then there was awkwards silence. Rarity, who was still fixing AJ's Mane decided to break the silence. "Um, Girls. There is something i'd like to talk to you about" She said.
The 5 Five looked over to her, curious. "3 days ago, i passed out from stress sewing, and i had a....I think a vision of sorts" She said. The girls were suprised, but let her continue. "I found myself in my boutique, but it almost like it was...Sketched" Fluttershy blinked in suprise, but didn't want to asume anything. Rarity decided to skip the minor details. "I'll just get straight to the point, I saw Alice Angel" She said quietly, affraid the ink demon would hear it. The girls gasped. "Whoah, You mean THE Alice Angel. One of Bendy's Old friends. The one who disapeared" Rainbow said, also quiet. "Actually, She gave me a message. Or rather a Message i would share with you. She said That What Bendy told us, About them disapearing all of a sudden Is not true" Rarity said, concerened. The girls eyes widden.

"Wait, Ya sayin' Bendy Lied to us?" AJ asked. Rarity nodded. "She told me that. He must be too scared to confess what he's done" She said. Fluttershy let out a small gasp. "Boris told me the same thing" She said. "Boris?!" The rest said in unison. "Oh. I too had a vision, but Boris showed up. He told me the same thing. Or more rahter he said, He still can't forgive his own actions" She explained. The rest began to get the idea.
"Whatcha Girls talking about?" Bendy apeared out of nowhere, scaring the ponies in the porscess. "O-Oh, Nothing Nothing. Just talking about how we've been the past week" Twilight explained, getting over her shock. "Oh. I assume you've all been pretty anxious" He said looking around all of them, Though when he laid his eyes on Rarity, He froze. "Rarity. Where did you get that dress?" He asked, quietly. Rarity looked at her dress, she knew he would react to it. "Oh the idea just came to me when i woke up from a dream" She said. There was silence.

Then Bendy cleared his throat. "Oh Ok. So girls, shall we get this over with?" He asked. The girls nodded, standing up from their thrones and followed Bendy to the Room where they'll be performing the ritual.

Bendy opened the door to let everypony in. They gasped at the sight. 6 black, Pedastal looking tables in a circle, A candle between each Table. They looke down to see a big black Pentagram, with so many details that it was difficult to describe it [I wrote that cause i'm lazy]. Bendy stood in the middle. "Ok, I've marked the tables with Your cutie mark. Find your cutie mark and lay on the table. And i recomend that you lay like this" He said, demonstrating. The girls nodded and went around to look for their mark.
Once they had all found their place, and layed down as Bendy instructed, Bendy rolled up his sleeves. "All right, to be sure that you don't fall off the table during this ritual, I'm afraid i'll have to tie you all up" He explained. The ponies eyes widden. He waved his hands, gesturing them to calm down. "It's nothing to be worried over, It's just for safety measures" He said, floating above Twilight. He reached his hand above Twilight's front hoof, Then a black thing came from the table and bound onto The hoof. The alicorn blinked in suprise.

Bendy proceeded with the dame methodt on Twilight's other hooves. Then he went over to Rainbow Dash. "What are these Tables made from anyway?" She asked. "I thought you would've already guess based on the color" Bendy said, finishing up the Pegasus Bindings. It took a moment for her To proscess it. "Ew" Was all she responded with. The others had now guessed it and felt uncomfortable. Bendy rolled his eyes. "Oh come on, it's just Ink" He said, moving towards Rarity.
"Yes, but it's YOUR Ink, Your blood. It's just sick when you see it in that perspective" She said. Bendy didn't respond as he finnished Rarity's bindings and moved over to Pinkie. "Doesn't it hurt when you do that?" The party pony asked. "Yes. But i've been through far worse" The demon said rather darkly. He moved over to Fluttershy. "Um, Isn't it exhausting to use so much of your Ink at Once?" She nervously asked. "Of course it is. That's why i needed to have that extra day so i could rest up" Bendy explained and lastly moved to Applejack. "Doesn't seem very Healthy if you ask me" She commented.

"Well, you wouldn't really know. I'm much more different from you after all. And by the way, I don't seem to be the only one who apearently does something Unhealthy" Bendy said, smirking and moving away. The ponies kept quiet, he got them there. Bendy picked up a sharp piece of metal. "Besides These sacrifices i make are nessascery" He cut his finger tip. "So i don't mind" He finnished. Twilight raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing now?" She asked.
He moved back over to AJ. "I now have to draw a mark on your chests. You girls don't mind do you?" He asked, looking back at the others. They shook their heads. He proceeded with drawing the marks and he did it fairly quickly. He went back to the middle. "All right. Everything is prepared. Are you girls ready for this?" He asked. The ponies quickly nodded. "I do apolagize, this Proscess can be.." He paused, forming something with his hands. "..Painfull" He finnished.

Before the ponies could proscess it, Bendy started.
"Fuhdwxuhv ri wkh Ghhs gdun,
Khdu pb yrlfh,
Erqg wkhvh vrxov wr ph,
Dqg hqmrb wkhlu vfuhdpv dv l gudj wkhp wr pb Khoo zlwk ph"

They didn't understand a thing he was saying. Things faded for the ponies, Their sense of feeling, sight and hearing faded, but they could feel their mouth opening...

They were screaming....

--Time skip, (You will see why)--

Twilight was the first to wake up, but wished she remained asleep cause everything was aching. She groaned catching the attention of the demon. He looked over. "You're awake, Twilight. How are you feeling?" He asked. "Dead" The alicorn simply said. Bendy chuckled. "Yeah, that's normal" He said, proceeding with realeasing Twilight from her bindings. "I have to say that was quick Ritual" She said. Bendy froze. "You don't remember?" He asked.
The alicorn raised an eyebrow. Then they heard the groans of the rainbow maned pegasus. "Ow, it feels like i can't breathe, What happened? Is the ritual over?" She asked. "Yes it is" Bendy said walking over to Rainbow to release her. He proceeded with realising everypony while he's at it. "Alright, I'm going to the library. Once everyone has woken up come see me" He said. Twilight and Rainbow nodded and The demon left.
He closed the door behind him and went to Library, He rolled up his sleeve to look at the 6 marks carved on his arm.

"Ritual Finnished, now i just have to wait for them to figure out their new feature"

Author's Note:

"Creatures of the Deep dark,
Hear my voice,
Bond these souls to me,
And enjoy their screams as i drag them to my Hell with me"
