Kind of a Mafia Au so lotsa swearing in this one.
Henry was a bartender in a bar in a city. This city had two huge Mafia gangs in it, and he happened to be involved with one of them.
At least, from what Henry heard, it was the less deadly gang of the two. He wasn't in the gang, god no.
What happened was this man, the leader of the gang, would make it known to Henry he would be shot dead if he didn't serve his gang free alcohol.
Henry, being the terrified man he was, didn't say anything to anyone about it. Joey Drew was the name of the man who did this.
In his gang he had people named Lacie, Bertrum, Thomas, Grant, and Shawn.
At the bar that Henry worked at, there was a musician named Sammy who played mostly piano or guitar while the band known as the Angel sisters sang onstage.
Their names were Susie, Alice, and Allison. They were amazing singers. One of them was a cartoon. That was another thing about this town that Henry lived in.
There was just as many live cartoons roaming around as people, they practically were people. He heard that the other mafia gang was run by a demon toon.
He noticed lately the three singers trying to get closer to him. He hoped they weren't trying to seduce him, he wasn't interested.
Henry currently was cleaning a glass at the bar when Joey's gang walked in. Henry sighed and saw Joey open his trench coat to show him a loaded gun.
"What'll it be today sir?" Henry asked.
"I'll have a beer." Joey said. Henry nodded and turned to fill a cup with beer. He bit his tongue to stop himself from spitting out a rude remark. He didn't want to get shot.
Half an hour later, another group of people walked in and stopped once they saw Joey. Henry looked over and saw an eight foot tall inky demon toon.
He wore a black trench coat and a black hat. Joey's group hightailed it to the door, dodging as some of the people from this group chased them with knifes.
Henry knew it was the other gang. It had to be. On the way out, Joey turned around and shot Alice, then Henry.
Alice collapsed, dead. Henry was lucky and only got his shoulder shot. He passed out from blood loss, head pounding and vision fading.
As his vision disappeared, he saw someone tall jump over the bar counter and kneel down, trying to talk to him. Henry couldn't understand.

Henry slowly woke, his ears ringing and eyes blurry. He sat up, forcefully focusing his senses. He was in a strange bedroom. The building he was in looked abandoned.
His shoulder had been wrapped up in white medical bandages. Henry glanced around the shabby room, scared and confused as hell.
The door opened and a tall figure stepped in. It was the demon he'd seen before being shot. "Look who's awake!" The demon grinned, clasping his hands together.
Henry just stared, silent and afraid. "Aww, don't look so scared doll, I was just healin ya up." The demon grinned, leaning against the doorway.
Henry glanced at his bandaged arm. "W-why?" He stuttered.
"Ya didn't do nothin wrong, so why should I hurt ya?" The demon asked. "The names Bendy by the way, what's yours?"
"H-Henry." The Man responded shakily, wondering if Bendy could see.
"Ah, a beautiful name for a beautiful face~." The demon cooed with a grin. Henry blushed, mentally wanting to slap himself.
"What are you going to do with me?" Henry demanded, trying to sound stern.
Bendy laughed. "Nothin ta worry yer pretty little head over. Y'know that man who shot ya has a lot of debt he owes to me. Whadya say ya help me get payment, he's done more than shoot ya hasn't he?" Bendy asked, leaning down so he was an inch away from Henry.
Henry gulped and tried moving, but his muscles tensed and refused to move. "H-he has. He's been coming into my bar every night and with a loaded gun to threaten me to get free drinks." Henry explained.
"What a bastard. Y'know ya don't hafta help, but revenge is always fun, how'd ya like ta get yours?" Bendy asked. He held his hand out to Henry, as if taking it would signal for him that he wanted revenge.
Henry hesitated, thinking. His jaw set and he nodded. "I think he deserves what's coming to him, I would like to help." Henry said.
Bendy grinned wider and grabbed Henry's hand, yanking him to his feet. The human didn't expect the sudden movement and tripped a bit, stumbling into the demon.
Bendy didn't even wobble, he just laughed as Henry stood straight again, blushing. "Let's get planning on what to do to him then, shall we~?" Bendy didn't let go of Henry's hand and led him along crumbly stone hallways and into a circular room.
It was full of crates of random objects and money, and along the walls there were racks lined with guns and knives.
A wolf toon walked up to them and tilted his head as if asking about Henry. "This is Henry an he's gonna help us get revenge on Joey." Bendy grinned.
Another man in the corner who was sharpening a knife looked up. "Since when do you just let people into the gang, even for a second?" He asked.
"Well Norman, I don't remember ya startin this gang, an I sure as hell don't suggest ya try an run it." Bendy said, giving a dangerous grin.
Norman mumbled an apology and went back to sharpening his knife. "So how exactly is this revenge going, we wouldn't...I dunno, kill him per say?" Henry asked cautiously.
Bendy let out a chuckle. "No, but I like how ya think." Bendy ruffled the man's hair.
"Then what are we going to do?" Henry asked, looking up at the demon.
A dark look came over his face, making Henry fear the answer.
"What we're gonna do is worse than death...we're gonna mentally torcher him." The demon cackled.
I'll make a part 2. This is the 100th part of the book:D thanks for stickin round till here! Also my toe died. I dropped a rock on it. This was a very big rock, and I mean big to the point where I could barely lift it, which wasn't a good thing because I'm quite strong for my age, mostly cuz I work on a farm. Anyways somehow my toe isn't broken but it's swollen and purple and feels like it had its own heartbeat. I am in pain. Have a good day.
