Bendy POV

The next morning, Gracie and I dropped Felix off at the Fair point and my heart hurt seeing him leave. I knew he had to, and I wouldn't do anything to hold him back. I held Gracie's hand after dropping him off as the two of us made our way back. To take our mind off things I decided to bake with her that day. I had her sit on the counter as we mixed some brownie mix. The chocolate we added extra was delicious.

"Can I get a chocolate kiss?" I asked her smiling as we gave each other a quick peck, me making a mwuah noise as I grabbed some eggs. I handed her one as we we broke them into the bowl. It was a long day, but we had fun. I put her to bed that night in her room. I went to my own bed as I drifted off to sleep.

It was late, and dark as I walked around the house. I could feel a breeze in the air as I slowly walked down the hallway to my bedroom. I stopped at the doorway. Something seemed off. I turned my head to the mirror above my bed and gasped when I saw Cuphead sitting in my chair.

"No!" I muttered as I sat up in my bed. I looked around seeing daylight shine through my window and let out a sigh. Just a dream. I'm not one to have nightmares like that, so it was weird. I got up heading to the bathroom, stopping at Gracie's bedroom to see her still asleep. While I did my business, I checked my watch on me, but couldn't help but feel on edge. I looked up at the shower and saw the curtain slightly moving. I looked behind it seeing a shadow. Playing it cool I stood up, flushing the toilet before slowly making my way over. I quickly grabbed the curtain and slid it to the side. I came to face a cloth of a unicorn on the rack. I sighed as I shook my head realizing I'm being paranoid. I walked to the living room since I left some of Gracie's stuff in there. I went to the couch grabbing her coat folding it up as I went in the hall of the front door leading to our bedrooms. I froze and let out a silent scream as I came front to front with Cuphead standing there.

"I want you back." He whispered as I felt complete fear looking up at him, wondering how he managed to find me. This has to be another nightmare.

"No." I whispered as I took a step back dropping Gracie's coat. He stepped towards me grabbing my arms as I winced at his touch realizing this was reality.

"It'll be just as it was before." He tells me as if to convince me we'd pretend nothing ever happened. I pushed him back to no avail as his grip tightened on me.

"No. No!" I whimpered my voice shaking as he then pressed me up against a wall.

"Well that's really stupid you know why?" He asked covering my mouth as my eyes widened and I felt like I couldn't move. He slammed me up against another wall hitting my head hard as I winced, my cry muffled by his hand.

"Because if I can't have you, nobody will." He muttered in a dark defying tone as I stared up at him in complete shock. He threw me to the ground as I cried out and he wrapped his arm around my neck. My eyes widened and I immediately began to fight back the second I felt his arm put pressure against my neck.

"Like that jerk who was here with you? He'll be fishing for his guts in Lake Michigan! And you know what else hun?! For murder, they need a body otherwise they'll think you just ran away again! Only this time, you'll never come back!" He shouted loudly as I cried out fighting against him to be able to breath as I tried desperately to get out of his group.

"Mommy!" I heard Gracie shout as I heard her little footsteps run up to us and complete fear for my daughter hit me. I fought back harder to get to her. I hit him with my elbow and tried biting his arm which was to no avail.

"Daddy no! Daddy stop it!" She shouted as I heard Cuphead grunt in pain, which told me Gracie must've been pulling his handle, or his hair. I heard her beg her father to stop as his focus switched from me to her. His hand holding his grip on me moved, and I heard my daughter cry out loudly followed by a loud and hard thud. I felt complete defensive mood realizing he shoved my baby, so I quickly used my watch and pepper sprayed him in the face since that's what it really was for. He cried out letting go of me as he fell back. I quickly took the opportunity to grab Gracie and make a break for it. I heard things break as he nearly grabbed my leg as I ran.

As I headed out the back door, I dropped the plank I set up when we moved in, blocking the door to buy me more time. I went to my car entering my lock pin, as I quickly got in having my daughter get into her car seat. I found the key in the console as I started it up and quickly drove out to the road. I drove as fast as I could without attracting attention as I pulled into an open alley way that was broad. I had the trip planned in case we were found. I parked the car as I quickly popped the trunk, and got a big duffel bag from the back. I went back to the driver seat as I pulled out clothes for Gracie handing them to her.

"Here put these on honey." I tell her as she thankfully listened without hesitation.

"Mommy what's happening?" She asks scared, but I didn't have time to answer her as I handed her a pair of shoes. Suddenly, a knock was on my window making me turn around. The person in front of my door leaned down, and I felt surprised seeing that mouse from the diner that year. He. He knew Cuphead? I quickly locked my door realizing he looked down seeing it wasn't as I then drove off fast, hitting some bins along the way. I got back on the road buckling myself back up.

"Car seat honey! Car seat!" I told her since I saw she wasn't buckled in my rear-view mirror.

"Then slow so I can!" She tells me as I shook my head.

"No I can't slow down right now." I tell her as I looked in the mirror, mutter shit under my breath seeing that mouse following behind me in a larger car then mine. I turned on a different road I had backed up hoping his large car couldn't follow as swiftly as mine. This road was rarely used as it went up hill and away from the town. I tried thinking of what to do seeing he was still behind me.
