Brooke's POV
A sneaking figure creeps into the room. I frown in the darkness as the figure draws near to the bed. The outline looks like Bendy, but not as tall..
My eyes widen. Alice..
BENDY! I mouth.  forgot I can't shout..
I huff. I look around the dark room. How can I alert him?
I slowly reach my hand from the bed to the small nightstand. When something grabs my wrist.
My breathing catches.
Oh no..
I try to steady my racing heart. She leans close to me and I try not to move, fearing for my captured hand.
"Alright, Angel."
I don't like the way she said 'Angel'..
"We're doing this the hard way. Don't even try to scream for help. Or I'll shoot you dead the moment you open your mouth. If you try to contact Bendy, I will end him with this shotgun. Now, Sweetie, What's it gonna be; your life, or his?"
I hear a sinister grin in her voice.
My heart is pounding in my chest. I I can't respond either way. But I don't want Bendy dead.
I sigh heavily, probably so she'll believe I'll 'stay quiet'.
She laughs at almost a whisper. "I thought so. Good. Now follow me. It'll all be over soon.. Brooke."
I silently gulp.

Bendy's POV

I heard her enter the safe house. I crept from my room to the kitchen, and switch through my visions of cutouts. I'm not sure why Lawrence placed one in there, but I use it to check in Brooke at night, from a distance.
Like tonight..
It's the Fallen Angel. She's armed, I could see it. All of a sudden, Brooke's heart started beating really fast.
Like she was anxious or nervous. I could barely see them in the dark, but I could tell that Alice was uncomfortably close to Brooke.
I listened to their conversation silently, paying attention to every word that blasted Angel said.
"Alright, Angel." She said.

There's something off about the way she said Angel..

"We're doing this the hard way. Don't even try to scream for help. Or I'll shoot you dead the moment you open your mouth.-" I bared my teeth, resisting the urge to growl.

"If you try to contact Bendy, I will end him with this shotgun. Now, Sweetie, What's it gonna be; your life, or his?"
My breath caught, and I think hers did too..
How are we gonna do this?
Alice doesn't know she can't respond, and most likely took her silence as agreement. I sighed.

not being able to speak just might've save her life and mine.

Alice leads Brooke out of the room, and I disappear into the wall. It's a struggle to not try to save her. I can't imagine what kind of torture Alice will reek upon my-... on Brooke.
