~Chapter 10- Henry vs. Bendy Pt. 1~

Boris slowly opened his eyes with a small groan. He didn't know how long he had been asleep, but right now that was the least of his concerns. Drowsy at first, the wolf looked around, but instantly his eyes widened as he remembered what had just happened a while ago and his eyes filled with tears. /Henry.../ The wolf thought. He truly couldn't be mad at Henry. He didn't blame his creator for leaving them. For wanting nothing to do with them. For hating them. They were monsters, after all. And who would want monsters as family anyways? Especially monsters who killed your friend. Or claimed to.

He looked beside him and saw that Alice was still asleep. He was about to go back to sleep himself, but his black orbs widened abruptly as he sensed a familiar presence in the room.

"Ally," Boris whispered desperately, shaking the angel. "Wake up! It's him! Alice, open your eyes!" The Angel only stirred with a small moan and slapped his hand away. Boris licked his lips nervously and got up, hiding behind a corner. All he could do was hope that she got away.

Of course his hopes fell to the ground when he saw Bendy approach the girl with a smirk. /Alice, wake up! He's right before you!/ He thought, horrified. Finally, the young Angel opened her eyes. She gradually looked up, and her black orbs widened. "Hello, Angelface~" Bendy hummed demonically. The last thing that Boris heard while running down the hall was Alice's shriek of terror.


Henry glanced over his shoulder. The darkness gazed back at him. "Hold up a sec, what floor am I on?" He muttered to himself. Things were finally beginning to look familiar. Well, not too familiar, but familiar enough to the point where he knew that he had to be getting close to the Exit. He had never felt so relieved in his life, but for some reason, he felt guilty as hell at the same time. Maybe it was because he was leaving this workshop behind, and not returning ever again after this, even if another few years pass.

"You're the only one who can snap Bendy out of this trance." Boris said with a pleading look on his face. "We've tried, Henry, but we failed! There's nobody else. You have to be the one to do it. You have to."

The young man sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Crap... why do I feel like I'm making the most terrible descision of my life?"

"...Henry!" Yelled a familiar voice. "Henry!" It was getting closer.

"Boris...?" Henry uttered with confusion as he turned around. It was indeed the wolf; hunched over with his hands on his knees, breathing heavily, standing only a few inches away from the young man.

"Henry!" Boris exclaimed once he caught his breath. "You've gotta help me! He's got her!"

"What? What do you mean?" Henry asked slowly. "He's got who?" Suddenly, realization hit him like a ton of bricks. "...You... You mean Bendy's got Alice?"

"Yes! He captured her! Please, Henry, help me save her!"

Henry licked his dry lips. He wanted to agree right away, but something held him back. And he didn't know what. The animator looked away, unsure of how to reply.

Boris sighed, understanding his hesitation. "I can't blame you for bring angry," The wolf started. "You get a strange letter from Bendy, pretending that he's Joey and telling you to come back, only for you to return to find out that he's dead and the others are gone, and Bendy's corrupted...I don't blame you for wanting nothing to do with monsters like us, either. You hate us, I get it," The wolf made a small whimpering sound. "But still-"

"Shut up already," Henry sighed softly, turning around and facing him. "Knock it off. I want everything to do with you guys, you are not monsters, and I could never hate you. It's just... I guess I'm still getting used to this new world here. It's not everyday where you fight off some random ink character and such..." He smiled a little. "I mean, this is crazy. Bendy's crazy. You and Alice are crazy. But... that doesn't mean your not worth saving. And honestly, bud, I don't care what I have to sacrifice," The young man walked closer to the wolf and patted his head. "I promise that I'll get him back." He grinned. "Now, how about we go and save Angel girl?"


"Ol' Henry abandoned ya, eh?" Bendy snickered. Alice was tied up extremely tight in ropes against a wall. They were so tight, she could barely breathe. "I told you that he's nothing but a traitor." He snarled.

"Shut up, Bendy!" Alice sobbed, looking away. "Oh? What's wrong, Angel face? Hmm?~" He bent down and cupped her chin, forcing her to look at him with a disgusted glare. "C'mon... don't be like that. Ya know you love me, don't ya?" "Ugh! Stay away from me, Bendy!" Alice snarled. "Or should I even call you that? Look at you! You've turned into some sick, deprived monster! And all because Henry 'betrayed' you. You're pathetic!" Alice immediately wished that she hadn't said that, because Bendy had grabbed her around the neck and was choking her to death. After a minute, her struggling came to an end and she went limp in his arms. "Stupid Angel..." He growled under his breath. Abruptly, the demon let out a loud hiss of pain when he felt his head being wacked at with an axe from behind. He doubled over in pain, holding his head. When he glanced behind him, he saw that Alice was gone.

"She's not dead, is she?" It was more of a whimper than a question. Henry set her down against the wall in a room. "No," Henry riposted. "She's just knocked out. Bendy must've attacked her or something. Shoot. That's a pretty bad bruise near her neck." The young man sighed and stood up. "Here's the thing; you stay here and guard Alice and keep her safe. Tell her everything's fine once she wakes up. I'll be right back." He began to walk away, but Boris sprang to his feet, grabbing his creator's arm. "Henry, are you crazy? You can't go and face Bendy alone! It's too dangerous! Just stay here with me. When Alice wakes up, we'll go together! Please, Henry? Don't go"

Henry smiled. "Sorry, bud. But I have to at least try to get him back. I'll be fine, alright? I promise." He gave the toon's hand which rested on his shoulder a reassuring squeeze, causing him to let go. The brunette then walked out of the room, shutting the door behind. He quietly locked it before running down the hall, Bendy chasing after him in a split second.


Henry grunted as he was thrown to the ground due to Bendy, and rolled out of the way before the demon could charge at him again. "I'm surprised at how loyal that angel was toward you," Bendy snickered. "It's such a big shocker that she would trust a traitor like you." "And you don't?" Henry panted. Bendy smirked. "Please. Ya lost my trust a long time ago" Bendy got up and grabbed Henry, throwing him repeatedly against the wall. As much as the young man wanted to fight back, he didn't find the energy to. The demon then grabbed the axe that Henry had dropped. He jabbed it deep in the man's side, causing Henry to scream in agony. All at once, everything went black.
