Hi guys!
So, this idea was playing around in my head a bit and I decided to try writing it out. There may be adjustments throughout the work, but please be understanding.
Also, this writing is inspired by the BATIM Art of the-vampire-inside-me tumblr & doberart tumblr as well as the BATIM music video called "[SFM BATIM] 'Can't Be Erased'" by Plushak youtube.

So, give them some love because they are amazing people and, as always, please R&R!

It had been nearly a year since the events that occurred in the old studio.

Almost a year, and yet, it felt so long ago.

To Henry, it felt as if decades had passed.

When he had returned home to see Linda waiting for him, Henry could only smile and hug his wife, knowing that what was about to happen next would change their life forever. It was then that he introduced two small toons to the woman, who immediately recognized them as Boris the Wolf and Alice Angel from the cartoons Henry used to draw when he worked at Joey Drew Studios.

Linda, who had had two children with Henry before the war, welcomed to two toons with open arms, knowing that she would again have "children" to help raise again. Boris and Alice were very grateful to have a mother figure to look up to now. It was only after the toons had made themselves at home and had fallen asleep in one of the old bedrooms that Linda was able to pull the truth out of Henry.

She listened in shock and amazement of he returned to the damned studio and discovered that all his characters had been brought to life by the ink machine. He had successful gained Boris as a companion and even saved him from Alice when she was in a demented form. A little talking and acceptance had released her to become the sweet little angel she was once before.

But when Linda asked about Bendy, Henry became silent.

The final encounter with the little devil darling caused some heartaches for poor Henry. He, Boris, and Alice tried to persuade the once-lovable demon to come home after Bendy had attempted to attack and kill Henry. He had shouted out, growling that the studio was his home and that they could never belong in the human world. Then, he became silent and turned, ink dripping down his slumped shoulders, a sign of defeat.

The monster toon told them to leave.

Henry could hardly believe it; the ink devil was allowing them to leave unharmed?

He didn't question it and took both Boris and Alice away, far away from the life that had poisoned their minds against their creator.

Even so, the year since the escape had been dragging by ever so slowly. Both Alice and Boris seemed comfortable living among the humans, even going so far as to play with the neighborhood children that lived near Henry and Linda.

But something was changing between the two toons. When Alice and Boris were first brought to their new home, they were relieved and care-free, often chatting up a storm with the children, Henry, or Linda. But recently, their attitudes had changed to sullen and quiet. And Henry wasn't the only one to notice, Linda had caught the two toons crying softly in their bedrooms one late night. When she attempted to sooth them and ask what was wrong, both Alice and Boris had become silent, as if afraid to say what was bothering them.

It wasn't until one day that the two adults sat the toons down. Henry, being the toons' father in a strange sort of way, sat across from them on a chair while Linda, Alice, and Boris sat side by side on the couch.

"Alice, Boris," Henry began, voice stern with concern, "What's going on?"

Alice blinked in surprise, "What do you mean, Henry?"

"You two haven't been acting like yourselves, lately, and it's concerning."

"There's nothing goin' on," Boris answered, "We've just been tired lately."

"Tired is a key word that something's up," Linda stated, "We had two kids before you two came along and we know that something's bothering you. Why, just this week, you both didn't go and play with the kids at the basketball court like you usually do."

Alice and Boris looked at each other in shock. Henry watched as Alice hung her head in dismay and Boris opened his mouth and confessed a secret, "We're worried about… Bendy."

Henry raised an eyebrow in surprise. No one had mentioned the little demon since the escape.

"He just wasn't himself when we left," Alice piped up, "I know him and he would've come with us if he could."

"He would never just… let us go like that," Boris continued, "We were the only family he knew for so long, why would Bendy abandoned us like that?"

Alice began to shake as inky tears spilled from her eyes. Boris wrapped an arm around her, comforting her while Henry and Linda looked at each other. It never occurred to either that as much as these two toons had changed their lives, that they needed the final one to make their family complete.

They needed Bendy as much as he needed them.

Henry stood and put his hands on each toon's shoulders, smiling, "Don't worry, we'll get him back, and bring him home."
