Chapter 1:

Bendy may have looked like a demon but he never acted like one. Sure, He could be mischievous and always ready to pull a prank or a trick on some unsuspecting victim, but that was as far as he ever went. He wasn't cruel or manipulative. He didn't set out to cause any permanent harm, just get a few laughs. If he were to really look at his personality, he would say he was sweet, tender-hearted, curious, and (if he was being honest with himself) a bit of a scaredy-cat.

Being ripped from the world and life he had always known and spat out into what he was constantly told was the "real" world didn't do anything to drastically change Bendy's personality and make him more demonic. If anything, he was a bigger scaredy-cat than ever, frightened and confused by the strange beings and the world around him. He spent most of his first few days of "life" hiding under his "Creator's" desk and trying to process everything around him.

Eventually, his "Creator's" calm words and his own curious nature coaxed the small toon demon to leave the safety of the desk and begin exploring the world he now found himself in. Though at first he was only allowed out of the room when the studio he was in was empty, Bendy was fascinated by everything he could find. Everything looked so different and it wasn't long before he began exploring every nook and cranny he could find. He would often bring back little objects that inserted him that he would study and play with during the time he had to stay in him "Creator's" room. He ended up filling a drawer with all sorts of things ranging from a toy that looked like him to someone's glasses. Most people would consider the things he found junk, but to Bendy, they were his treasures.

One day, Bendy was sitting in his "Creator's" office, playing with some keys he had found the night before when someone who wasn't his "Creator" walked in. They both froze, staring at each other in shock as they study the being in front of them.

"A-are those my keys?" the man eventually asked, pointing at Bendy's hand. Bendy glanced between the man and the keys in his hand. Bendy shrugged and held them out for the man to get a better look.

"Thanks," The man said, taking the keys though kept staring at Bendy and made no move to leave. Bendy fidgeted under the man's intense gaze, unsure what he was supposed to do.

"Are you Bendy?" the man finally blurted out after several minutes. Bendy beamed and nodded at hearing his name.

"Nice to meet you, Bendy," the man said, looking dazed as he finally turned away. He started to walk out the door, before pausing briefly and looking at Bendy over his shoulder. "I'm Wally by the way."

The man, Wally, left before Bendy could respond, but he was happy to have met new friends. The day got confusing soon after that, with lot's people stomping up to his "Creator's" office and trying to get in through his "Creator" stopped them every time. There was a lot of yelling going on and Bendy was sure he heard his name come up several times. Eventually, his "Creator" had him come out and showed him to everyone else. Bendy was nervous about meeting so many people at once and hid behind his "Creator's" leg. All the people were staring at Bendy with looks of shock and a few with disgust. Only Wally attempted to give him a friendly smile. Someone started yelling again and Bendy ran back to his "Creator's" room in fright.

Bendy wanted to just stay in his "Creator's" room forever, but his "Creator" insisted that he go out when people were around. Bendy reluctantly began exploring again, though he was extremely nervous around other people and would hide whenever someone would stare at him too long. Eventually Bendy got more confident as no one did anything and he would watch the various people doing their jobs. Most of them just ignored him as he would peer at what they were doing, a rare few would actually help him get a better look. Some of those would even explain what they were doing while he watched. And the rest would just glare at him. He never stuck around those people for long.

Bendy's favorite person to hang around was Wally, as he was the most friendly and would just laugh and complement Bendy whenever he tried to help him out. Bendy also liked being around Shawn and Norman, as they were also pretty nice to him. But they were usually around other people that would always stare at him, so he would always end up hiding nearby whenever he visited them.

Things started to change when Bendy's "Creator" brought Boris to "life." Bendy was nervous around the wolf at first, but he was happy to show him around and help him adjust. But many others were not so thrilled about Boris' appearance. They would stare at the wolf in disgust and then glare at Bendy as if he was to blame for something horrible. He would hear them whisper the word "demon" to each other as if it was the vilest word they knew. Bendy didn't understand what he did to upset all those people, but tensions continued to rise in the studio. It finally came to a head when someone threw a cross at Bendy and burned his arm.

Bendy's "Creator" was furious of course and the man was fired immediately, but the damage was done. The other employees spread the story like wildfire and several used it to justify tormenting the poor toon demon. They never went as far as to use holy objects against him like the first guy, but they called him names and kicked whenever he got in their way. His "Creator" was unable to put a stop to it, so Bendy retaliated the only way he knew how. He ran away when he could, he pulled pranks, and he took it with a smile when he couldn't get away.

Boris and Alice, once she was brought to "life", also suffered at the hand's others, though not nearly as bad as Bendy. This forced the toons to stick closer together than they had ever had before. They did all they could to keep each other safe and comfort each other when they couldn't. Every night they hoped things would get better. They never did…

Things continued to spiral downhill as people became obsessed with the toons and the machine that created them. Even Joey, their so-called "Creator", stopped looking at them with kindness and instead with possessives. The toons were spectated from each other as their Creator… no, the Liar… subjected them to torture and experiments, searching for something the toons couldn't understand.

At some point, Bendy couldn't take it anymore. Bendy had been trapped in a circle that hurt him while he could hear Boris scream and cry for help when he finally snapped. He had always been feared by some because of his demonic heritage and they would always take advantage of his meek nature. Bendy was tired of being weak, of being knocked down by those around him. He was stronger than they were and it was time to prove it!

Bendy's form began to change, his limbs becoming long and bony. His signature grin widening as ink ran down his face. Power filled his being and lashed out, destroying the circle and casting dark shadows along the walls. They feared and hated him just because he was made a devil. Well, now they would learn what true terror was. He would show them why they should fear the Ink Demon.
