Kitten: Hi, everyone!
Bendy: SHE'S ALIVE! KITTEN'S ALIVE

Kitten: Heh Heh... *Sweat drops* Yeah, sorry. I've been caught up with school work and such lately, so I never really got a chance to work on my writing, but I have the chance now, so here I am!

Kitten: Anyways, I'm SO Excited about Chapter 3 coming out this month. When I watch my Youtube Star play through it, I might pick up some ideas, then again I might not. To be honest, I want my story to be unique. Not too much exactly like the story. I want to put some twists and turns here and there.

Kitten: Soo.. here's disclaimer! Bendy, can you do it?

Bendy: Why me?

Kitten: Please? I'll give you some Bacon Soup if you do!

Bendy: ...Fine.

Bendy: Disclaimer; AngelKitten112478 does not own BATIM.

Bendy: Now where's my Bacon Soup?

Kitten: *Rolls eyes and hands can*

Bendy: YAY!

Bendy: Enjoy chapter! *Continues gleefully eating soup*

~Chapter 8-Attack!~

"Bendy!" Joey called. "Bendy, where are you? Come on out!"

The young man received no answer and he sighed. "Bendy... c'mon. Please come out, it's not that bad."

"Yeah it is" Bendy stated from behind him and Joey spun around on his heels, startled. He felt his shoulders relax and his expression softened. The young demon was sitting against the wall with his arms folded, looking down.

"There you are," Joey said as he kneeled down to the Demon's level. "We've been looking everywhere for you. The kids really want you back on stage. Come back with me."

"No they don't," Bendy huffed in response, averting his gaze away. "I sucked. I made a total fool of myself up there."

Joey frowned. "No, that's not true! Bendy, it was your first performance. Everyone makes mistakes on their first try."

"Oh yeah?" Bendy asked, swallowing hard. "Did Henry make any mistakes the first few times that he drew me?"

"Practice makes perfect." Joey riposted with a small smile. "Henry's an amazing artist, even better than me, but I'm sure he's made a few mistakes here and there."

"What about Harmony?"

"Harmony's a great actress, but in order to be as great as she is today, she knew that she would have to try hard, and she did. So that hard work paid off, but she made a few mistakes too."

"And you?"

Joey grinned and snickered at this,"Me? Please! You think I'm the perfect boss? When I first opened up the studio, I couldn't stop making mistakes when it came to writing my name on the sheets of paper work. Now, don't ask me why, but for some reason, I kept on writing Moey New instead of Joey Drew."

Bendy laughed,"Seriously, Joey?"

"Yup." Joey answered. "To be frank, I was really nervous the first few days and my hand couldn't stop shaking, so I messed up quite a few times. The key is, Bends, you can't give up just because you make a few little mistakes here and there. Life is full of mistakes. But luckily for us, we learn from those mistakes, and we hopefully don't make them again. Hopefully. I wrote Moey New on the papers quite a few times and the people got mad at me."

Bendy giggled again and grinned at Joey,"Thanks, Joey. I feel better now."

Joey grinned."Great! You ready to get back up there and show those kids how good you are?"

"Sure..." Bendy replied as he began to smirk. "But first..."

Joey's eyes widened in surprise and he let out a laugh as Bendy playfully tackled him. He rubbed the demon on the head and the two walked back toward the stage area, Bendy riding on his shoulder.

/Damn it!/ Henry thought with a scowl./I don't get it! Where could Bendy be? Why haven't we run into him yet?/

"Henry?"

Said young man turned and saw that the voice came from Alice.

"Oh. Hey, Ally. What's up?"

"I'm just curious..." Alice uttered,"That 'Sammy Lawrence' guy... Is he dead?"

Henry fell solemn and sighed. "Yeah. Bendy killed him after he tried to sacrifice me. Poor guy... and to think. He was actually a pretty good person before all of this hell happened! I remember that Joey introduced me to him for the first time 30 years ago. We worked together a few times. He was nice, but to be honest, he was a little weird from the start. But still... he didn't deserve to die."

/You've got a good heart, Henry./ Alice thought. /You're really kind and trusting. Reminds me a lot of Joey before he died./ "...So, how did you manage to get away? I mean, you told us that you were tied up pretty tight, so how'd you manage to break free?"

Henry sighed,"Well.. it took a while, that's for sure."

*Flashback*

Henry bit his lip as Sammy turned his back on him, mumbling something underneath his breath. The young man glanced behind him, ignoring the throbbing pain from the gash on his neck, and mustered up all the strength that he could and quietly, and rather roughly pulled one hand out of the tight hold of the ropes. A drop of cold sweat trickled down the side of his forehead and he glanced up at Sammy, who still had his back to him, before pulling a pocket knife out of his back pocket, and he began cutting the other hand loose, biting back a curse and a grunt of pain as he accidentally cut his hand. Placing his knife back in his pocket, he pretended that his hands were still tied up and faced forward.

/I can't run now./ He thought. /If I do, I'm a goner either way, whether it's Bendy or Sammy who kills me. I have to wait until the right moment, and then make a run for it and waste no time./

He swallowed as he saw Sammy walk off, slamming the door behind him. Shivers were sent down his spine when he heard Sammy whispering the rhyme out into the speakers, and when the door opened, he thought that he was dead for sure at first, but much to his surprise, nothing ever came out.

Seeing Sammy's scream and deathly silence as a signal to start running, Henry jumped up from the chair, grabbed his axe and ran out of the room, not even bothering to look back once.

*End of Flashback*

"...That was probably one of the most horrifying experiences in my whole life." Henry chuckled.

"Henry," Boris said slowly,"Do... Do you really think that Joey was crazy like Sammy?"

"No." Henry riposted seriously right away. /And if he was like that,/ He thought, /I refuse to believe it./

"Wh...What was that?" Boris's panicked voice rang in his ears, bringing Henry out of his thoughts, and at first the boy was confused, but he heard the same noise Boris claimed to hear a few minutes later. His heart pounded. For some reason, he had a feeling that he knew what it was. "Come on," Henry huffed. "Quick! We have to hide!" He then pushed the two cartoon characters into a nearby room, and walked in soon after, leaving the door cracked just so he could see outside. The young man peeked out, and his theory was proven right. His blue eyes widened to see two searchers mindlessly wandering around. He gulped and backed up as the searchers got close up to the door, but luckily they soon disappeared, and he sighed with relief when they were gone.

"Henry, are you okay? What was that?" Alice and Boris questioned in union.

"Searchers." Henry replied curtly while still gazing out into the halls. "They're wandering around the workshop."

"But why?" Alice asked lowly, sounding scared. "Why would they still be out like this?"

"Bendy. He sent them. No doubt that he's looking for an enemy."

"Wait... what do you mean?" Boris nervously asked.

"He must know that I'm still alive. There's no other logical explanation." He stated, oblivious to Alice and Boris gazing at each other with an expression of pure horror. "...Come on.." Henry said after a few minutes and licked his dry lips. "We can't stay in here. Let's go." The trio walked out of the room and down the narrow hallway, Alice and Boris nervously whispering something to each other that Henry couldn't quite hear, but at the time, he didn't care. Right now, the only worries on his mind were finding Bendy and bringing him back.

Abruptly, the young man paused and he put an arm out in front of the two characters, signaling them to stop, and they instantly halted, quieting at once. "H-Henry? What is it?" Alice asked. Said man waited a minute before turning to them,"Quick you guys! Go hide!" He hissed. Without any questions, the two swiftly obeyed and they ran off, hiding behind a nearby corner. Henry swallowed and it was silent for a few minutes. Then, he looked over when he heard a noise and he could feel his heart drop into his stomach.

There, Henry saw a tall, inky, and oozing figure approaching him, giving a overzealous smirk. "Bendy..." Henry growled lowly with a glare. Bendy chuckled darkly and spoke demonically,"It's good to see you too, Henry..." He continued walking until stopping in front of Henry, a couple of inches away from him. "I gotta admit," He said,"It's no surprise that you're still alive. You're the type that doesn't die so easily, aren't ya?" "Bendy," Henry uttered steadily with a glare, though deep down, his heart was pounding and he felt like he was going to puke or pass out. Ignoring the nausea and fear, he swallowed. "Come on... you don't want to do this..."

Much to Alice and Boris's alarm, and Henry's shock, Bendy growled and roughly threw him against the wall, pinning him there, earning a loud and painful grunt from Henry. "I don't want to do this...?" Bendy growled,"Please! Don't tell me what I want or don't want! You know nothing! Nothing about the hell that I've been through! Besides, how the hell would you know anything about me if you've been gone for 30 fucking years!?" Bendy was seething with rage, yet Henry maintained his calm composure. He glared harshly and grunted as he slapped and threw punches at Bendy, trying to get out of the rough hold. "Let go of me!" Henry exclaimed,"Let go already!" Bendy kept on avoiding each hit and punch, and he was getting more angry by the minute. The demon scowled and threw the main against the wall twice, causing him to yell out in angst each time. Just as the demon was about to throw him a final time...

"Bendy, stop!" Yelled a female voice. Both Henry and Bendy looked over to see Alice standing not too far away and glaring at him. Henry's eyes widened in alarm, while Bendy's scowl only grew wider. "Ally... be careful..." Boris whimpered nervously and lowly from behind the corner. "Let him go, Bendy." Alice ordered. Bendy growled, glaring at her,"Why should I? He's getting what he deserves! Why are you helping him anyways? He's nothing but a dirty traitor!" Alice shook her head,"You're wrong, Bendy. Henry's no traitor. He's here to help us. Please, Bendy, this isn't you! You're meant to entertain others, not hurt them! Stop this! Let him help you!" Ignoring her, Bendy hissed,"Stupid Angel! I should have known day one that you were a traitor just like him! Searchers, get her!"

Nearby ink puddles rose up and transformed into Searchers. They began going at Alice fast. The young Angel nodded at Henry as a signal for him to run. Henry waited a minute before grunting and kicking Bendy roughly in the leg, causing the demon to hiss loudly in pain and Henry managed to break hold of Bendy's rough grip, and he backed up and picked up his axe. "Come and get me if you can, Bendy!" Henry taunted before spinning on his heel and running off.
