GameFan 533- It's good to be back! Trust me, I'm so happy to be writing again! I really appreciate hearing that. Seriously. After I read this, I honestly started thinking about it. But at the same time, I was eager to put both parts in. When I wrote the Jack scene, I thought the chapter was too short. Then when I wrote the part where Sammy captured her, I felt that it was too short as well. I appreciate your honestly. Maybe later on I'll split them apart in the future. Yay! I'm glad I did that scene good! I felt that he didn't deserve to die! Ohhhhh I like that. But...I can't saaaaay ;) I don't want to give too much away. There will be something coming in this chapter!

TheAmazingAuthoress- Awww I'm glad you did! I wasn't sure how it was going to convey, but I seriously didn't want him to die! I mean, all he did was take the wheel, why did Henry have to kill him?! So I wanted to let him live. Him and his adorable hat lol Yay! I was so excited to write the part with Bendy and Jane, but I believe you'll love this one even more ;) Awww I'm sure you can do it! I'm just a sucker for romance novels and fanfics ^_^

Sage S. Adoren- Aww thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Googlyeyesonanecklace- Oh I plan on continuing! :) And you'll have to wait and seeee lol

Jane gasped for air as she rested her back against the wall, sliding down slowly. Her arms and legs trembled while her lungs felt like they were going to burst as they burned for fresh air. Not to mention the sweat that was mixing with the bits of dried ink on the her skin; which was disgusting to say the least. And above all else, the fear was still racing through her veins like a wild current in the river.

Once Jane had escaped Sammy's hideout, she ran through several hallways and down a few flights of stairs until her legs gave out. She had fought her way through a couple of ink blobs and dodged a few wooden caskets that lay around the shop. Sadly, the ax was now in pieces somewhere far away after Jane tried to cut herself out of another mess. Now she lay in a corner, behind a large wooden shelf, keeping herself hidden from anything else that could kill her.

Speaking of murder, everything in this studio was trying to kill her! First Bendy, then those blob like creatures, and now one of the old employees who had completely lost his mind was trying to sacrifice her to the ink demon himself!

Why did she have to come here, she kept asking herself. She could've avoided this completely if she had just let that letter be thrown away. But no, she had to be the curious one and search for answers and discover what Joey's purpose of reaching out to Henry was.

Joey...where was he? Was he actually here? Did she get the address wrong?

Or...was this some sort of sick trick to trap Henry here?!

Jane's stomach dropped at the thought. Oh gosh...what if she was tricked into coming here? She took the bait that was meant for Henry and now she was trapped here to face her doom? But...she felt just as sick to see Henry in this situation. What if it had been Henry to be stuck here? To be stalked by Bendy, Sammy, and the blob creatures. He could be really hurt or even...

Jane hugged herself as she tried to distract her mind. She couldn't think about that. Henry was at home, safe and sound. But here she was, trapped down below several floors beneath the studio and being hunted by inky creatures.

"Why is this happening to me?" she sobbed, feeling the tears fill her eyes again. "It's always me. It always happens to me. What did I ever do to deserve this? " She didn't feel like consoling herself to stop crying. What was the point at this point? Yes, crying was pointless, but at the same time, it felt good to let all of her emotions go. In this case, it was definitely needed. "I just wanna go home..."

"Toots!" Bendy's voice echoed through the halls. "Hey! Where did you go?"

She gasped softly at the sound of the familiar voice. 'Oh no, not him.'

"Come on out! He's gone now!" His voice sounded normal again. It wasn't so deep anymore, instead, it sounded like the voice she had heard before.

'Did he change back?' she thought, hugging her knees closer.

"You don't have to hide anymore. I'm not going to hurt ya."

'Oh yeah, because trusting a demon who just probably killed someone is so much better.'

Bendy sighed from a distance. "Look, I know I was...scary to look at earlier." he began slowly. "But...I'm not that anymore. I...I'm back to normal. I'm not here to hurt ya. I just wanna help."

Jane chewed on her lower lip, hugging her legs tightly. She couldn't let him know she was here.

"Doll! Please!" he yelled, making her heart beat faster. "Just come on out."

Even if she knew this was wrong, extremely wrong, deep down she knew that in the end, Bendy had saved her. He came to the rescue, freed her from her bonds, and stopped Sammy from trying to finish his ritual sacrifice. Earlier, when Bendy was trying to get information from her, she was able to see his actual eyes. Those dark and crystal-like eyes. For some reason, just by looking into his eyes, she could see something that made her trust him. Jane wasn't sure why she did, but she trusted the ink demon and told him what Sammy had done.

Maybe...she could trust him.

Bendy had never tried to hurt her when she was with Sammy. Maybe he just wanted to save her. But...what more could Bendy want from her? Why save her? She didn't know him and he certainly didn't know her. Heck, he just called her 'Toots' instead of her name because she never shared it. What were Bendy's intentions?

Only one way to find out.

Taking a deep breath, Jane slowly rose to her feet, allowing Bendy to see her.

"Toots..." the ink demon sighed in relief as she turned to face him. Bendy was back to his regular size, still taller than Jane, but at least he wasn't a massive creature that she had seen a few minutes ago. Sadly, the ink covered his eyes once more and she felt her walls building back up in defense. "There you are..." But as Bendy began moving towards her, Jane held up her hands.

"Stop!" she protested, making Bendy freeze. Before he could say anything, Jane tried to find her voice again. "Don't come any closer."

Bendy tilted his head to the side, ink dripping off his horns and then splashing on the wooden floor.

"Just...stay right there." she stuttered, her body trembling.

He did as he was told and shook his head. "Aw come on Doll Face. I'm not here to hurt ya. I just wanted to see if you were okay. You don't have to worry about Sammy anymore. The guy is gone."

Her heart dropped into her stomach. Gone? As in dead? Gone as in he ran away?

"Wh-what does that mean?"

Bendy's head tilted to the left. "Uh...I mean, Sammy is gone."

"Gone as in what?" she stammered. "Dead?!"

He was silent for a moment.

"Well?!" Jane demanded, her voice bouncing off the walls.

Bendy held up his hands defensively. "Easy there, Toots. Calm down. I didn't kill Sammy." he began, smoothing the ink back on his head. "At least, not like that. I chased him through the music department until Sammy suddenly disappeared into this big inky lake upstairs. All I found was his mask. Nobody really survives that stuff once you jump into the deep part."

Jane felt herself slightly relax, but she still wasn't completely calm. Sammy was gone, but she still had Bendy to worry about.

"Are you okay? Have any nasty falls out there? Does your head still hurt? Toots, ya gotta tell me before I go insane here!"

Did that mean that Bendy would turn into that big monster again? Would he hurt her? He didn't before. But now since they were alone, who was to say that he wouldn't attack?

When Jane didn't say anything, Bendy sighed. "Come on, Toots. I'm honestly not here to hurt ya. I'm not that big...thing...again. I'm not turnin' into that anymore. I'm sorry if I scared ya back there. I was mad that he hurt ya earlier and I lost my temper. But I'm not gonna do that again. Trust me."

A dry laugh escaped Jane's lips. "Trust you? You?!"

Bendy's arms dropped to his sides. "Well...yeah. I mean, I just saved ya. Doesn't that say a lot?" Bendy questioned.

"Are you serious right now?" she asked Bendy as if what he said was the strangest question ever.

His head moved from side to side. "What do ya mean by that?"

"You're saying that just because you saved me, that means that I should just...trust you?"

He shrugged his bony shoulders. "I think so."

Jane blinked a few times, taking this information in. "That sounds like a trap."

"A trap? How is that a trap? I just said I saved ya. How is that a trap?"

"Sammy claimed that he was helping me by sharing clues on how to escape the music department." Jane began, feeling frustrated by his constant oblivious questions that were avoiding the real dangerous thing. "And then how does that creep reward me? He hits me over the head and then tries to sacrifice me to you!"

Bendy's teeth grit together. "I know that part. Don't remind me." he ground out, his fists clenching in response. "Look, I get it that he betrayed you back there."

Jane laughed dryly again. "Yeah, that's one way to say it."

What did she have to lose? She had almost died a few times today, her body was exhausted, and running was probably going to be a foolish idea since Bendy could catch her immediately.

"Are ya always like this? Snarky and sarcastic?" Bendy inquired.

Heck no! Jane was the complete opposite of that. At least, in public. Maybe around Henry she was like this. But outside of that, she was pretty quiet when it came to replying sarcastically. There was many things she wanted to say to several people, but she was always afraid to do so.

"Not all the time." she replied, swallowing so she could help her dry throat. "Sometimes I can be quite pleasant and shy."

Bendy relaxed his body before letting out a bellowing laugh that nearly shook the room. As he laughed, Jane lowered her arms, staring at the creature before her. He was laughing at her?

When Bendy calmed down finally, he wiped away a droplet of ink that rolled down his cheek. "Oh Doll Face, that was really good. Ya got me crackin' up over here!"

"What? Are you making fun of me now?" she demanded, feeling slightly more angered than scared.

The ink demon before her shook his head. "Nah, I'm not making fun of ya. Ya just made me laugh and it was funny. Don't take it personally, Doll."

Jane wasn't completely convinced that he wasn't making fun of her, but at least the tense moment was calmed.

Bendy glanced over his shoulder for a moment. "As much as I'm enjoyin' all of this, but I think we should find somewhere to hide out in. We're kind of out in the open and after I just scared off Sammy, his minions will be comin' for us. So I suggest we go."

Jane never moved from her spot in the corner, still hiding by the shelf.

"If ya think that's gonna hide you, you're wrong. Those blobs can sense you in the room and attack."

"How do you know I can't find a place to hide? I'm good at finding hiding spots." she defended. Jane always managed in college to find a nice place to hide on numerous occasions to escape campus life whens she wanted to.

Bendy chuckled. "I'm sure ya can. But right now, those things are probably upset that you destroyed a bunch of their friends and their leader is now missing. They'll be coming after ya now."

He did have a point.

"Now look, I know this studio pretty well and I actually have a few places to hide. I know ya don't completely trust me at the moment, but I'm the only one here who can hide ya from them." He held out his inky gloved hand to her, jerking his head back towards the hall behind him. "Come on."

When Jane still wouldn't move from her spot, Bendy sighed heavily, dropping his arm. "Look, I may be...a big guy and I might have done some scary stuff back there, but honestly, I'm not gonna hurt ya."

Wringing her hands, Jane shuffled her feet. "You...you're not going to throw me over your shoulder again, are you?"

Bendy let out a sound that sounded like a snort. "Nah, I won't do that again. Unless if we're in danger and ya can't run fast, then I probably won't hesitate to do that. But for now, I guess you're more than capable to walk."

She hesitated for another moment before taking a small hesitant step towards him. "Lead the way then."

"Alright then." Bendy said before turning around to lead her down another hall. "Just make sure to keep up. Don't know what's hidin' around these halls anymore."

Jane trailed behind Bendy, watching him attempt to walk since there was still a bit of a limp to his right leg. As they wandered through the halls, she began to wonder about what was wrong with that leg? Was he like this before he was an ink creature. Was he like Jack Fain? Did he have a life before the ink machine?

"Ya gave me quite a scare back there, Doll." Bendy spoke, breaking her away from her thoughts. "Ran off after I tried to save ya. Kind of rude, wouldn't ya say?"

Furrowing her eyebrows for a moment, Jane licked her dry lips. "Uh...well I think it was kind of rude for you to pick me up like that and carry me off without permission." she pointed out.

"Permission? I need permission to carry ya away from danger?" he asked as if he was the one who was right. "I mean, shouldn't you be a bit more...I don't know, grateful that I tried to save ya."

Was he actually arguing with her about this?

"Well to be fair, you did scare me. I mean, you grabbed my ankle earlier when I turned on the machine."

He descended down a set of stairs, carefully watching each step as they creaked under each foot fall. "Well how was I supposed to know? I mean, I couldn't see anything, so I climbed up and grabbed onto the first thing I felt. I didn't know it was your leg. Forgive me for tryin' to get out of that contraption. I didn't mean to scare ya earlier. Just managed to crawl out of the machine that I had been stuck in for months...years...or however long that guy, Sammy, was talkin' about."

Jane knit her eyebrows together as she continued to follow carefully, trying to make sure that the stairs wouldn't collapse. "Did you know you were in there?" she asked, hoping to gain a few answers from the ink demon. "I mean when you were in the machine."

A heavy sigh filled the space between them. "Unfortunately, yeah I was. For so long, all I could really see was ink. And no matter how hard I tried to escape, I couldn't get out."

That made Jane frown. When she had met Jack earlier, he was down in the sewers. True, he was stuck down there, but Jack was able to move around freely. But Bendy, he was trapped inside that machine for...what seemed to be a year or maybe even more.

To be stuck in such a small space...

Jane cringed at the thought of being stuck in a tight space. She wasn't normally claustrophobic, but the thought alone was enough to put her in that position.

Bendy stopped and turned around to see her in deep thought. "You thinkin' about something there, Toots?"

She blinked, breaking herself away from frightening thoughts to stare at the taller inky figure. "What?"

"Well you've got your...what do ya call them...kind of pullin' together." he replied, pointing to her face.

"My...what?"

"Your uh...those fuzzy things above your eyes."

She stared back at him for a moment. "My eyebrows?"

"Uh, yeah yeah! Those things! Eyebrows!" he said, snapping his fingers with excitement, making Jane jump back.

'He's excited about eyebrows? That's...a little odd.' Jane thought to herself as she watched the grin on his face return.

"Yeah, my eyebrows..."

"That must mean that you're thinkin'. I mean, at least I think that's what you're doin'."

Jane licked her dry lips. "Um...yeah. I...I was."

"Well you'll have to tell me when we get back to the hideout. I wanna hear about it." he told Jane before turning back around to continue his way downstairs.

He wanted to hear her talk about what she was thinking? Why did he want to know about that? Obviously, he wasn't probably going to enjoy what she had to say since it involved thinking what a monster he was. And naturally people bore of her conversation topics and thoughts.

They trekked for awhile longer until they reached a large shutter, which was closed tightly. A nearby poster of the Bendy cartoon from an older episode caught Jane's eye. It was an image of Bendy being pushed around in a shopping cart by Boris the Wolf while flames surrounded them. 'Hell in a Hand basket' was printed across the paper. Well that was one way to describe her predicament.

Bendy reached up to pull the poster back, exposing a large weathered button that hung on the wall. As soon as he pushed it, the shutter began to lift up, revealing another hallway.

"After you. Just watch your head. The ceiling is a little low at the start. I won't get hurt myself, but you will."

She stared at him skeptically. "Why do you say it like that?"

Bendy tilted his head, the ink on his head dripping over his mouth. "Well...I assume humans can't grow things back. Sooo...just be careful."

Still feeling slightly strange about what he had to say, Jane cautiously stepped inside of the hall and waited for further instructions.

He stepped in behind her and hit the button again, making the shudder creak loudly as it lowered. "Just go on ahead. It's just at the end of the hall."

Jane listened to Bendy and began making her way to the end, ducking her head under the low ceiling so she wouldn't hit her head. Her body still trembled with fear as she tried to brave the storm. She had just escaped death yet again, and now...she was back with the thing that tried to kill her in the first place. But...was he really going to kill her?

When she reached the end of the hall, she found herself standing in a little makeshift living space. There were a few crates arranged in the fashion of what seemed to be a chair or a couch with a ripped blanket thrown over it. A table and chairs were arranged in the corner, however, one of the chairs only had three legs and rested against the wall. On the opposite side of the room, there was an old desk with a pillow and a painting tarp thrown across it. Was it a bed? How could anyone sleep on a desk?

"Well...I guess...this is home sweet home. That's how they say it, right?" Bendy asked right behind Jane, making her jump in surprise.

Holding a hand to her chest, Jane hyperventilated for a moment, turning to face him. "Don't do that!"

Bendy held up his gloved and ink covered hands in defense. "Okay okay...what did I do?" he asked, backing away slightly.

"You scared me!" Jane replied, confused at why he didn't understand how much he frightened her right now.

"I did? Oh right...I guess I did. Sorry about that." Bendy apologized, slowly lowering his arms. "Look, I'm not here...to hurt ya. I thought I said that like a dozen times already."

Jane's body attempted to relax slightly, her nerves still on the edge. "I...I know. I'm sorry. I just...I'm just trying to take all of this in right now."

His head tilted to the side. "What? Is it that bad? I mean...I know it's not perfect, but it's home to me. I guess..." Bendy moved past her and tried to straighten up the chair. "I can just...go hunt for a new one. I just wanted something big enough."

He was worried if she liked his home or not?

"No, no you don't have to do that. I'm okay." she replied as she watched Bendy sit down in the large chair.

"Ahh...that feels better." the demon sighed loudly. "Nothin' like a big nice comfy chair to sit in after all that runnin'."

Jane was completely bewildered by what was happening now as she stared at the massive humanized cartoon. First, Bendy tried to 'rescue' her and she managed to escape. Then Sammy recaptured her and Bendy came for an actual rescue this time by turning into this monster. Now, Bendy was just relaxing in a lounge chair as if this was a normal day for him! What was really going on here? What were the demon's intentions? And why was he so...calm?

"Hey, you okay?" Bendy asked, making Jane shift her gaze to him.

Brushing her hair behind her ears, Jane tried to figure out something to say back. What could she say?

"Well...I just...I don't know what to say." she told him, scratching her head. "I mean, all of this...I just..."

"It's a lot?" he finished while she nodded a couple times.

"Yeah." she croaked, trying to keep herself in control.

"I guess ya didn't mean to come here. Judgin' by the way you're so scared. Most people around here aren't as jumpy as you are." he began, scratching the back of his head. "And besides, nobody around here looks like ya. Human that is. Do ya want somethin' to drink?"

Now that he mentioned it, her throat was a little dry.

"If there's any water, it would be nice."

Bendy slowly got up for a moment and went into a small closet and the sound of water dripping filled the room. He returned shortly with a broken cup in hand. "Before ya ask, it's clean water. It's from a little pipe I've got in the back. Surprised the stuff is still coming out, but it's water."

Hesitantly, she took the glass while Bendy sat back down in the chair. She managed to find a place that wasn't broken and took a sip. The cool refreshing taste touched her tongue, instantly turning her dry throat wet again. "Thank you."

Bendy smiled with the big familiar grin before relaxing back in his chair. "Least I could do, Toots."

She took another drink before looking at Bendy. "So...you live here?"

His lanky legs crossed over one another while a laugh bubbled in his chest. "Well...I mean, I used to. It's a work in progress."

"Used to?"

True, some of the room seemed a bit dusty, but then again, this place could have been like this before Bendy found it.

"I found this place before I was trapped in that darn contraption. It was my home some time ago. Surprised that its sill standin' here." Bendy spoke, flicking something off the 'arm' of the chair. "Thought one of those things took it over."

Her fingers began rotating the cup around carefully. "Things...you mean like those blob creatures out there?"

Bendy nodded, ink sliding down his face a little. "The same ones. There are even other things out there besides those blobs. Things you definitely don't wanna come across."

Jane shuddered at the thought. What could be worse than a bunch of creepy blobs, a crazy cult leader, and an ink demon? She dreaded to find out.

"I actually had a few homes throughout this studio. Kept havin' to move around whether I wanted to or not."

Jane couldn't help but feel curious about that. "How come?"

Bendy chuckled, tilting his head back. "Oh you know, I got too big to live in such a small space. Sometimes I met new friends who let me stay in their little abode." Then his voice lowered. "Or...I was forced out of my home because someone didn't want me bein' there."

That made the brunette frown. "Forced you? I mean...couldn't you of...um..."

His lifted his head up. "What? Could've done what?"

Her hands tightened around the glass as Jane tried to think of the right way to put it without angering him. "Well...you know..."

"No, I actually don't know what ya mean there, Toots. What do ya mean?" he questioned further, sitting up to place his elbows on his bony and inky legs.

Biting her lip for a moment, she finally blurted out, "Scared them?"

Bendy's head tilted from side to side as if he was trying to comprehend the words. "Why would I do that?"

For that comment alone had Jane nearly laughing at the question, but she held back the laugh. "Well...I mean, you're...a bit scary."

There was a long pause. A terribly long one where the only sound in the room was the ink dripping onto the floor from Bendy's head. Jane felt the fear creeping back into her system as she stared at the demon who could possibly kill her just for that comment alone.

"I-I'm sorry I said that. Forget what I said. I didn't mean to...I'm sorry." she told him quickly, feeling her body tremble once again. She hated insulting people. Even if she didn't mean to doing that. The look on someone's face when she spoke, made her internally cringe. The happy look on their face slowly disappearing, hurt and disgust replacing it. As if she had slapped them in the face.

He frowned at her before shaking his head. "Hey, don't apologize for that. It's all good. Hold ya horses there. You're not in trouble!" he spoke before slowly rising from his chair. "Don't start losing your marbles."

Jane stared for a moment before she let out a short laugh, holding the cup close. "Lose your marbles?"

"What?"

"Nothing...I just...I've never had anyone use that phrase before. I mean...who even says that anymore?" she questioned Bendy, taking another sip from the cup.

Bendy shrugged his shoulders. "I mean, I use it. Is that a bad thing?"

"No no no." she replied quickly. "There's nothing bad about that. It's just something that I only hear in old movies and..." Jane stopped herself before saying the word 'cartoons'. She wasn't sure what he would say to that or question her about what it was. Was Bendy aware that he was a cartoon?

"And what?" Bendy further questioned.

"Oh it's nothing." she replied before trying to get the subject back on track. "Anyways, I didn't mean to offend you at all."

"You didn't! Not at all. I just...don't scare people like that often." Bendy spoke, pushing some of the ink back from his face. "Except that guy back there. I just couldn't stand...seeing that...that creep hurt ya like that. I mean, he was trying to sacrifice ya. I didn't want him to hurt ya."

"But he didn't." she tried to convince him. "You did...save me."

"Yeah...I guess I did." he sighed, accidentally pushing some ink into his cheeks.

"Um...you have some..." she tried to tell Bendy, pointing to his face.

His head turned, flinging a little ink on her unintentionally. "I have what? Something on my face?" he asked, smearing some of the ink around.

She let out a small laugh when she saw his pale white face smeared in ink. "Uh...somewhat."

Tilting his head to the side again, Bendy moved over to a broken mirror and tried to look at his messy face.

"I mean, you've always had ink in your eyes." she told him, shuffling her feet slightly.

"I did? Huh, guess I never noticed." he replied, swiping a hand through the ink, moving it back so his eyes were visible again. Then he turned back around to Jane. "Better?"

She nodded in response while Bendy moved back over to his seat. Such as casual demon, wasn't he? Of course, he was staggering around the studio before, scaring her and Sammy. But now...he seemed more...laid back. Almost like a normal human being. Except, he wasn't a human. Not even close.

Then again...Jack Fain was once a human. And Sammy, he definitely seemed more human. But Bendy? Could he be human?

"Sooo...why don't ya tell me what you were thinkin' earlier." Bendy suggested, resting his elbows on the bony knees. "I really wanna know."

Jane sat down on a lonely crate, taking another sip from the glass. "Actually...do you mind if we talk about something else?" she questioned, wanting to get to the real questions. "I wanted to ask a few things."

"Yeah sure, Toots." he agreed while Jane slowly sat down on a nearby crate. "What's on your mind?"

"I guess...where I want to start is...who are you? I mean, really...who are you?" It was a general question. One that was basically asking if Bendy was really who he said he was. Then again, he never really told her his name. Maybe he had a name like Jack.

His eyes blinked a few times as if he was taking in what she said. "Who am I? I'm Bendy! The Dancing Demon! Troublemaker and a bit of a mess maker." he announced with a wide toothy grin. "Well...at least that's what everyone tells me. But I guess I've always been Bendy."

"You guess? What does that mean?"

"I mean, I've been called Bendy since I was born. They always called me Bendy."

"They?"

"Well...the people who raised me at least." he chuckled, rubbing the back of his head.

"Who raised you?"

His dark eyes blinked a couple times. "You're asking a lot of questions, aren't ya?"

"Is that a bad thing? If it is, I'll stop." she replied quickly, feeling nervousness creeping in again.

"Oh no, it's fine." Bendy assured, holding up a hand to calm her. "I just, I wanna be able to ask a few things here. I mean, after all, ya stumbled into here and freed me."

Oh right, Jane was the one who let him out. At this point, she wasn't sure if that was such a good thing or not.

"Okay, go ahead. Ask me."

What harm could that do?

"How did ya know I was in there? I mean, ya don't exactly look like a fellow ink being. You're...a human."

"You know I'm a human." she stated, wondering what he could elaborate on. "How do you know this?"

"Well...I mean that has to be the only explanation. I mean, I've never really seen one in person." he informed, grabbing a can of bacon soup from the floor and began rolling it back and forth in his hands.

"Then how do you know that they exist?"

"Some of the beings down here know about them. They told me about humans and what they are. But sometimes...I..." he trailed off, holding the can still. "I've seen them. In...dreams...or...sometimes...they're like pictures that run through my mind like a movie. I'm not sure why, but I always see them."

Jane sat there, surprised by this information. He knew about humans because of pictures or movies running through his head? How did he know this? Why? And what exactly was the whole mechanism to these ink creatures?

It was fascinating. Almost like a scientific research with critical thinking, just like in school. Except, how was this possible in the first place?

"You're doing that thing again." Bendy spoke, making Jane jolt for a moment.

"What?"

"You're doing that thinkin' thing, I think. It's...kind of cute."

Her cheek immediately flushed at the compliment. "Cute?"

Bendy nodded with a grin on his lips. "I've never seen anyone do it like you do."

She stared at the demon, before taking another quick sip. "Uh...thanks? I think."

His hands went back to rolling the can again. "Back to my question, how did ya know I was in there?"

"I didn't. I just turned on the machine and then suddenly, you were there grabbing my leg." Jane wasn't sure how to talk to a creature like this or if he'd even understand, but so far, Bendy seemed complaint and was curious about her as well. At least they could trade questions and answers back and forth to find out what was going on around here.

"But...why did ya turn it on then? That would've been the only way for me to get out."

That was a question that Jane had been wondering herself. Why did she turn it on? Joey wasn't exactly there at the time and told her to turn it on.

She just shrugged her shoulders in response. "I'm not really sure why I did. I guess I was just curious about what it would do. I mean, it's not every day that someone sees an ink machine."

"Hm...I guess that seems fair. Of course, I've neva' seen a human before today." he said with a smile, his eyes staying on hers, making Jane blush slightly. "So what are ya doin' here?"

"That, I'm still not sure either."

"Hmm...maybe you'll figure it out later, I suppose." he sighed, hie eyes searching hers. "Can I ask ya one more question?"

"Depends, are you going to ask me more later?" she tried to tease, feeling her nerves slightly beginning to relax.

"Probably." he responded with a smirk. "Ya know about me now, but I don't even know your name, Toots."

Slowly, a smile began to appear. "Jane. My name is Jane."

Well, that was a lot of fun! I've been waiting to do a Bendy scene since the beginning and boy was it worth every second! I had to do a little research to find out some slang that Bendy could use, which was a lot of fun to do as well lol So we got a little bit of information about Bendy, but trust me, there's far more to the ink demon than we know. It's gonna be a crazy ride through the studio! But I hope to make this story just as good as the game. Thank you everyone for reading and I hope to hear from you guys soon! Don't forget to leave a review! You guys are amazing! Truly amazing! Thank you! ^_^
