Short chapter. And possible typos due to not checking it over.

When Dani woke up again, her head was feeling a little better. Her vision was a little blurry though. She tried to rub her eyes but quickly realized why she couldn't.

'Shit.' Dani thought to herself, forgetting that she was tied down.

"Are you awake, my friend?" She heard Sammy say.

'Double shit.' Her mind said.

Looking over, she saw him get up from the chair and stroll back over to where she was.

'At least I'm alive.' Dani thought.

"How…long was I out?" She asked him.

"Not too long." Sammy replied and hit a button.

Remembering what happened before, Dani tensed and held her breath. But like before, pain didn't come. Instead, she was released from the table she was strapped too.

"Huh?" She was confused. 'Why was he letting me go? I don't remember what we talked about before…'

"Come." Sammy said, calmly. Even holding a hand out to help her off of the table and even helping her keep her balance in case she's too weak to stand.

"Thanks…" Dani said, surprised by the gesture.

Slowly, she put her hand in his and swung her legs over the side of the table. Then she pushed herself off of the table as easy as she could without causing more pain.

All the while, Sammy held her hand. If there was one thing she wasn't expecting considering the situation, it was that his hand while being very inky and feeling it cover her hand, it was still almost solid like a normal hand would be.

"So uh… where are we going?" She asked, confused once she got her balance and let go of his hand.

"Somewhere we'll be safe."

"Okay but I really need to go find Boris. He needs me." Dani said.

Sammy thought about that for a moment. He didn't want to upset his new friend but knew that she probably wouldn't forget about the wolf so easily and just go…somewhere…with him.

"Then let's go look for him." Sammy finally said. "Alice has him, right?"

"Uh huh." She nodded.

"Let's go." With that, Sammy turned and picked up a pipe and ax that was on the floor and handed her the pipe.

Quietly, she followed him out of the room and into the hallway. Then down the direction he went in since he seemed to of known his way around and could easily find Boris quicker than she could.

Unfortunately, what she didn't realize was that Sammy was purposely leading her in the wrong direction.

"So… why aren't you trying to kill me anymore? I don't remember much before I fell asleep." Dani questioned.

"You said you were my friend. And that you'll keep me company. So I'm not going to sacrifice you. Plus, trusting a human would be better than a ink demon… I suppose." He said as they walked down the hallway.

"Oh… Oh! I'm Dani by the way!" Dani said, realizing she never introduced herself to Sammy.
But in response, Sammy tilted his head at her in a confused way.

"But you're a girl…are names used for both genders nowadays?"

"Some are." She shrugged. "Mine is the female spelling D-A-N-I."

"Ah." Sammy said, understanding now that the female versions of names are spelt differently.

"So… what's the last year you remember?" She asked, curiously.

"Hm… hard to say. Couldn't of been after the 50s though. What year is it now?" Sammy asked.

"Uh… 2017." She said as they came across a dark hallway.

"I-It's been that long!?" Sammy questioned, shocked. "I knew I was trapped like this for a long time…but I didn't expect it to be that long."

"Yeah… it's been a long time." She said as they stared down the hallway.

"We need a light to go down there." Sammy said, having so many questions about today's world running through his head.

Dani glanced around, looking for a light before finally deciding to use her phone's flashlight.

She took it out of her pocket and pressed the home button before swiping up and turning the flashlight on, shining it down the hall.

After taking a few steps forward, she noticed that Sammy wasn't following her. Going back over to him, she asked if he was alright.

"What is that device?" He asked, staring at her phone that she kept pointing towards the hallway.

"A cell phone…" She said. "I have my MP3 player too. It's mainly used for music while this can call, text, play games on, and other stuff like this flashlight or the camera."

"Fascinating…" Sammy said, amazed. "You must teach me more."

"If the battery survives I will." She said, glancing and noticing she was below 50% now due to not using it as much the last few hours since she knew there wasn't any service anyway.

"Okay." Sammy said and followed her down the hallway.

As they walked, Sammy looked over her shoulder and at the picture on her phone. It was of a mix breed dog.

"So why is this phone so small?" Sammy asked, keeping the conversation going about it.

"To make it easier to carry in a pocket or purse." She replied.

"So landlines aren't a thing anymore?" He asked.

"No." Dani said. "Some houses and businesses have them. Just not as often nowadays. I just use this."

They finally got into light again so Dani turned the flashlight off.

"What were the other things you mentioned it can do?" Sammy asked and she unlocked her phone as a response.

"Well…" She started showing him her text messages that said how they failed to go through among other things.

"So you can play games and watch things on this small device? Wherever you go?" Sammy questioned.

"Well, I'll need wifi and service for my shows and movies to work but my games should work just fine." Dani replied. "There's also social media apps too that allow you to post or talk and interact with people."

"Can you post something now?" He asked and she shook her head.

"Can't. No service."

"Shame." He says, disappointed.

"There's also email and the internet." They stared at each other for a moment before she continued. "Email is a way to communicate. Especially with businesses. And the internet is hard to explain but it can do a lot of things like searching something in a few seconds and other stuff."

"Would I be able to search say… a favorite song of mine on this… internet?" Sammy questioned.

"Sure." Dani shrugged. "Something cool you can do when talking to someone is putting them on speaker or using facetime."

"Facetime?" He tilted his head. "I think I understand what you mean by speaker but what's that other thing?"

"It allows you to talk to someone face-to-face with the camera." She said.

"Wow." He said in disbelief. "That's…amazing."

With him being a loss for words, she went on and showed him the music app, something she knew he'll like.

"I really like this part with the music. Sounds like something I would've loved." Sammy smiled behind the mask.

"I'm sure." Dani said. "That's pretty much everything it can do."

"Why is the number going down in the corner?" He asked, noticing this.

"It's the percentage of battery I have left. When it gets to 0% it'll die completely and I'll have to charge it." Dani replied.

"Ah. How do you do that?"

"With a cord that plugs into here." She flipped her phone upside down to show him. "And the other end to the wall."

"Can we use the camera and take a picture?"

"I guess so." Dani stopped walking and pulled the camera up so it was facing her. "Come here." Sammy stood beside her as she raised her arm and tapped the button.

"See? This is your first selfie. Which is pretty much taking a picture the way we just did." She showed him it.

"I really like this. I feel like someone I knew a long time ago would love this too." Sammy replied, slowly taking the phone into his hands.

He slid his inky finger across the screen and tapped the different apps and seeing what all they could do.

"So where exactly might Alice take Boris?" Dani said, changing the subject.

Sammy snapped out of his amazement and remembered they were going in the wrong direction.

"Upstairs." He lied and gave her phone back. "What percentage is it at now?" Sammy wondered.

"It dropped to 40% while we were playing with it." She said. "So we'll have to find stairs since I don't trust the elevator?"

"Yep." Sammy nodded.

"Great." Dani moaned.

"Don't worry, little sheep. Nothing will hurt you as long as I'm here."

"What about Bendy?" She asks.

"…He won't hurt you either." Sammy replied after a moment of silence.

Dani didn't reply as she looked around the area they were walking around in. She hoped they could find Boris soon.

"…Why do you care about Boris so much?"

"He helped me out. I'll feel awful if I escape and he gets killed in the process." Dani replied.

"Heh. Who says you're escaping?" Sammy muttered.

"What?" Dani asked, stopping and putting her phone in her pocket.

"What?" Sammy echoed.

"What did you just say?" She questioned.

"Nothing, little lamb. Let's continue on our journey." Sammy continued walking but stopped when he realized she wasn't following. "Come on."

"Sammy, where are we going?" Dani asked.

"We're looking for Boris." Sammy said and she felt uneasy at the way he said it. "Now come on."

"I…" Dani backed up a little. Something was telling her to run. "…I think I can find him on my own."

"You're foolish for even thinking that." Sammy said, starting to head back over to her. "Don't you want to find him?"

"Yes but-"

"But nothing." Sammy cut her off, stepping right in front of her.

"Sammy, what do you plan on doing when we find him?" She suddenly asked, without thinking first.

"…" He was silent.

"Sammy?"

"…This." Sammy raised his hands and put them around her throat, making her drop her weapon. "Can't let you leave…friend." Dani's vision started going black as he choked her into unconsciousness.

Well, someone is fucked.
