~Chapter 11-Henry Vs. Bendy Pt. 2~
Bendy growled, irritated at the sight of Henry clutching at the gash in his side that poured out sticky red liquid. Why was he so fucking impossible to kill!?
"Bendy," Henry wheezed, taking a few steps toward him. "C-C'mon, pal. Th-This isn't what you want, is it? To lose everything? Push away the people who still love you away and be alone for the rest of your life?"
"I've already lost everything" Bendy stated icily. "And it's been 30 years. I'm used to being alone. After all, nobody understands what I'm going through." He stared down at his gloved hands which were now completely drenched with ink. "They know nothing about how it feels to experience such betrayal, to drown in so much agony, and anger, and dark despair." He glared at Henry. "Why would they? Their too concerned about themselves, and what makes them so wonderfully happy. They are selfish. Doing nothing but drawing in the book all day. Face the facts, Henry. You want nothing to do with us. You despise us. You despise me. Always have. Always will. We're nothing but a big mistake in your eyes."
"Bendy, no!" Henry said quickly with a frown. "Look, bud, that's not true, and you know it! You're not a mistake, I swear! This isn't you. You're not evil. Please, just snap out of it!" Bendy merely shook his head, and Henry could have sworn that he heard a hint of sadness in it for a minute, "I trusted you, Henry. I trusted Joey. I trusted Susie and all the other workers in the studio. And look what happened. You all abandoned me, and left me alone for so many years! For so long I've had nobody. And now, you expect me to believe that your here for me. I don't need you now. I needed you then. And you turned your back on me. You created me, and then threw me away like I was some piece of garbage! Like I was nothing to you! Well, now you're gonna know how it feels to be thrown away. Cause' guess what? I hate you!"
Henry froze, startled at first. The young man snapped out of his trance after a minute. "Bendy," He said slowly and calmly, "C'mon. You don't mean that."
"THE HELL I DON'T!" Bendy snarled as even more ink began dripping down his face. "I HATE YOU, JOEY, THE WORKERS, AND EVERYONE ELSE INVOLVED IN THIS SICK PLAY MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE IN THE FUCKING WORLD! NOW, IT'S TIME FOR ME TO DO WHAT I SHOULD'VE DONE A LONG TIME AGO!"
Bendy let out a loud, demonic and dark growl as he attacked Henry. Henry glared as he wacked at Bendy with his axe, cutting off Bendy's left arm. Bendy only smirked as Henry turned and ran. His arm quickly reappeared and he took off. "YOU THINK RUNNING WILL ALWAYS SAVE YOU, DON'T YA, HENRY?" Bendy yelled. He cackled insanely. "WELL, NOT THIS TIME! RUNNING WON'T SAVE YOU FROM THIS WORLD! AND I'M GONNA PROVE IT TO YA! ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!"
Boris was pacing back and forward, whimpering constantly. His ears and tail drooped down, and his black pie cut eyes were clouded over. He couldn't stop worrying and wondering about what was going on out there.
Behind him, an unconscious Alice abruptly flinched before slowly opening her black orbs. She looked around, dazed and confused at first. Once her vision cleared, she frowned at the noise of Boris whimpering.
"Boris, why are you making whimpering noises?" Alice asked, catching Boris's attention and he immediately stopped pacing as his face lit up. "Ally! Your awake! How ya feeling?"
"Ugh, fine, I guess..." Alice sighed, rubbing her head. She then froze. "Wait, where's Henry?"
Boris's ears and tail dropped once again. "I don't know where he is. He just told me to stay here and stay safe, but I haven't seen or heard him for a long time, and it's freaking me out."
"What are we waiting for?" Alice questioned, getting up. "Let's go find him!"
"We can't get out" Boris stated as Alice approached the door.
She turned around. "What do you mean by we can't?" She asked incredulously. "Will it burn my hand or something if I touch the knob? Because if that's the deal, I'm an angel, in case you've forgotten. I can handle a little heat."
"No. He locked it"
"He what!?" Alice spun back around and desperately tried to open the door, but much to her dismay, Boris was right.
"Dang it," Alice muttered under her breath as she ran a gloved hand through her black locks, stressed. "The more we wait in here, the more close Bendy's getting to making a serious mistake; killing Henry!"
"Do you have any ideas!?" Boris questioned, just as stressed as her.
"Umm, Umm," Alice muttered. Abruptly, a light bulb appeared in her head. "Hey, I've got it!" The angel reached up and grabbed a bobby pin out of her hair. "I can try to unlock it with this!"
Boris looked exasperated. "Shucks, Alice. Won't that take too long?"
Alice rolled her eyes. "Got any more ideas swimming in that mind of yours, then?"
Boris sighed and rolled his eyes as well. "...Go ahead. But hurry!"
"Okay, Okay"
Alice knelt down in front of the door and placed the pin in the lock. She began moving and wiggling it around, and Boris watched in anticipation. After a few minutes, the two toons heard a small 'click!', and the lock turned, causing the door to open.
"See?" Alice giggled as she stood up and brushed herself off before placing the bobby pin back in her hair. "Nothing to it!"
"Great!" Boris breathed in relief. "But, hey, Alice? Why do you keep bobby pins in your hair in the first place?"
Alice shrugged nonchalantly, "Y'know, in case I wanna put my hair up or keep my bangs out of the way or something like that. Or even for situations like this, I'm prepared!" She paused before refocusing, "Now, come on. Let's go find Henry."
Henry backed up until his back pressed the wall. Bendy was approaching him swiftly with a smirk. He coughed up some blood. "Bendy, please," He begged and coughed up even more blood. "You can't do this."
"Oh? And why can't I?" Bendy asked darkly. "It's time for me to be happy for once, Henry. I'm so fucking sick of sitting there and watching you and other people get what they want while I'm a miserable wreck" He spat. "I knew something was funny the day I knew you were my "creator". Never would I have guessed you would have grabbed your stuff and ran out the door like a coward. Now, it's about time you shut up and let me kill you."
Henry shut his eyes tight, fighting tears. This was it. He was going to die. He failed. He failed Alice. He failed Boris. He failed Joey. He failed the workers. He failed Bendy. /I'm sorry, Bendy.../ The young man thought. /I guess this is goodbye, Alice, Boris.../
He could tell that Bendy was about to finish him off, but both froze when they heard a wolf's voice.
"Bendy, stop!" Boris yelled as he came to a halt and stood protectively in front of his creator. Alice followed and knelt down next to Henry, asking him if he was okay, to which he nodded, and the angel hugged him, burying her face in the crook of his neck.
"B-Boris," Bendy choked, shocked. He was sounding like his old self. "H-How are ya...?"
"The Ink Machine brought me back to life," Boris explained curtly. "Bendy, lil' buddy, what happened to you? Why are you acting like this?"
"What happened to me? What's wrong with ya? Why are ya with the traitor and No wings?"
Alice pulled out of the hug and glared at the demon, and she looked like she was about to run over and punch him, but Henry held her back.
"They're my friends, Bendy," Boris stated. "Just like you." The wolf's pie cut eyes filled with tears. "Bendy, I miss you! We miss you! Please, just stop all of this! Let's go back to how things were. When you were happy."
Bendy was starting to get angry. "Boris, I can't believe you. Betraying me and choosing them. You're a traitor just like them!"
"No, I'm not!" Boris sobbed. "Bendy, please-"
"If you're not a traitor, then kill Henry right here and now!"
Henry and Alice's eyes widened. Boris's eyes widened as well to the size of dinner plates and he shook his head as inky tears streamed down his furry cheeks. "N-No, I can't! I can't do it!" He fell to the ground, sobbing into his gloved hands.
"Fine" Bendy growled. "If you're going to be a traitor just like them, then I'll PUNISH you like them!"
Boris didn't get the chance to look up as Bendy knocked all three of them out, and they fell to the ground with a 'Thud!'
