Bunny's Asylum (a fan-made BATIM AU)

Chapter 33- Surprise

(Sorry this chapter is short. I've been busy with school!)

Bendy's POV:

"What?! Why not?!" I questioned him, baffled on why he'd say that.

"I'm really close to blue, is all. Maybe if I just behave long enough, I can get released." he mumbled.

"But that might take a while. It's easier with Bendy's plan." Charley told him, though he didn't seem convinced.

"I don't really feel like being tortured though. I could literally die. I'm more comfortable with my way." Boris spoke, sounding a little irritated.

"Cmon, it's not that bad!" I tried to reassure him.

"Oh really? So, stomach cancer isn't bad?!".

"Hey! It was mild!" Charley blurted. I was glad he was taking my side.

"I also don't feel like being shocked and poisoned!" he snapped.

"But we could escape if you do!" Charley yelled back.

"I'd never risk my life for freedom!".

"Well, I would! Now you're gonna go through with this whether you like it or not!" Charley growled, staring up at Boris angrily. Great, he was in a bad mood again.

Their conflict was interrupted by a knock at the door. We all turned our heads.

A nurse peeked in and stared at us. Though she was silent. She remained that way until she opened the door fully. I could feel my heart skip a beat with how excited I was.

Standing next to her was Alice.

She was alive!

"Oh my god Alice you're alive!" I couldn't help but cheer. She smiled and waved.

She stepped in. Boris and I approached her, hugging her tightly. I felt like crying with how happy I was. I managed to keep it together, though.

I was so glad she was here.

After the nurse left, I decided to inform her about what we were talking about.

"We were just talking about escape plans!".

"Oh really? What's the plan?".

Once I explained it to her, she seemed excited.

"I think that's a great plan. If I survived whatever sickness I had, I'm sure I'll survive some needles and electricity!".

"Well I won't." Boris murmured.

"Well then you can do it your way, and we'll do it our way! You happy now?" I snapped.

"Woah now no need to get aggressive there, Ben. I'm stating my opinion.".

"Well it's a dumb one.".

I didn't want to speak like that to him, but I couldn't control myself. I was irritated.

"Okay both of you knock it off." Barley stated calmly.

"Shut up Barley! I'm not in the mood! I don't wanna hear your voice!". He shut up quickly as he glanced away with a frown.

"Jeez what is your deal dude?" Charley grumbled.

I wanted to yell but I decided not to. I needed to calm down. For the sake of everyone's cooperation.

"You know what, I need to calm down. I'll be in the bathroom if you need me." I sighed as I stormed out of the room.

Instead of going to the bathroom, I leaned against the wall. I groaned quietly as I thought about what just happened.

I should apologize to them.

"Hey Ben." a maniacal yet familiar voice spoke. Oh no. I knew who it was.

Percy.

What did he want?

"What do you want?" I looked up at him, clearly not happy. He was accompanied by two other men.

"Oh nothing, I just wanted to ask about the plan." he smirked.

Oh god. He knew.

"What are you talking about?".

"We heard ya talking with those other goons about an escape plan.".

"Yeah, and so what?".

"I don't know about you, but I would kinda like to escape too." he chuckled evilly.

"Well tough. It's OUR escape plan.".

"Won't be yours for long when I tell the nurses.".

"You wouldn't dare.".

"Oh, but I would. However, there is a favor you can do for me.".

"And what might that be?".

"All you gotta do is include me in your little plan. I'll keep quiet about it if I get to escape too.".

I really didn't. That was the last thing I wanted. However, what else could I do? If he told on us, we'd all be dead.

"Fine.".

"Your little pals also can't harass me. Any sign of aggression from them and I'll blab your little secret!".

"Okay okay, I'll tell them to not bother you. Happy now?".

"That's the spirit!".

Our conversation was interrupted by a nurse.

"Hey! You two! Get to your rooms!" the male nurse shouted.

Percy and his posse walked to their room. I took a step into mine.

How was I supposed to explain any of this to them?

I knew they wouldn't be happy.
