        There were many things that Talia enjoys doing in life. Gaming, food, dancing, being with her friends...all of that jazz. So, when she realized she was face-to-face with a demon? Well, she had to wonder:
How did she get here in the first place?

     "Talia, Talia, Talia!" Ziba calls out to her friend, pushing her way through the crowd of running teens wishing to go back home after their first day of hell school. The bleached blonde turns to look over her shoulder, her hazel eyes widening in surprise at the appearance of her friend. She stops in place and turns around to wait for Ziba's arrival, which is soon. Taking a moment to catch her breath, Ziba then straightens out and flashes a grin to her friend.
     "Talia, you've got to play this new game I got!" She explains, holding up a picture of the game on her phone. Raising an eyebrow, she narrows her eyes to read the small caption under the picture of the smiling cartoon devil. "Bendy and the Ink Machine?" She questions under breath, which warrants a long spiel about whatever Ziba knew. By the time she finished, Talia was a little annoyed but pleasantly intrigued.
     "It sounds pretty cool. I'll get it on Steam," she decides, nodding her head to Ziba. Ziba claps her hands in delight and hands Talia a flash drive. "When you get the game, plug this in before you start up the game though. It's a bit intense, so this hack I made should make playing a little easier for you." Ignoring the insult to her ability to withstand horror, she takes the flash drive.            "Alright, so I'm doing something illegal. Great." Ziba shrugs her shoulders and flashes her friend a flirty grin. "Up to you how you perceive that. Later! Make sure you tell me what it's like." With an exchange of waves, Ziba runs off in the opposite direction she came from, leaving Talia to shake her head at her antics. She looks down at the flash drive in her hand and shrugs, deciding to make her own way home.
     Once she makes it home, she greets her mother and little brother with a quiet "hello!" and quickly runs upstairs to her room. Once in the safety of her room, she sets up her desk and places her laptop on it. Realizing she has to wait for Steam to download the game, she goes to get some snacks ready, in case the game makes her rage.
     Half an hour later, she plugs in the flash drive into the laptop and starts up the game. It starts up normally and she's greeted by the sort of eerie home screen. Although, Bendy's faces in the background seemed more...sinister. The eyes were just solid black, without the cut-out triangle shape in them. Shrugging it off as part of the hack, she proceeds to play the first chapter. Dark goosebumps spread down Talia's mocha skin as she gets slightly weirded out by all symbolism and tasks she has to achieve. When the ink starts turning on her and she starts seeing the fucked up image of what she assumes to be Bendy, she lets out a loud scream of terror as she tries to escape him in the game. Once Henry, in the game, fell through the floor, her lights flickered off, making her scream more.

     The lights flickered on, bringing her to her current situation-- Bendy, as a human, was standing right in front of her. "Fuck," she breathes as she realizes what Ziba's "hack" led her too. Bendy's eyes brighten in delight as he takes in the girl's appearance. His tail swishes excitedly and curls around her leg, pulling her closer. "Hello, darling~ You called?" He coos, a mischievous grin growing on his face. His voice is so calm and smooth. Talia shakes her head furiously.
     "I-I didn't! My friend g-gave me a flash drive with a hack a-and then your game glitched out a-and--" The white in Bendy's eyes became slits as he heard the word "hack."
     "You hacked my game?!" His voice now became distorted and seemed to have multiple layers as he expressed his utter rage. Tears sting at the corners of her eyes and she falls to her knees.           "I-I'm sorry don't hurt me!" She cries, covering her face. Bendy steps back a bit as she calms down his anger, realizing he's possibly scaring away his prey.
     "...My apologies, darling," He bows lowly, flashing an apologetic smile. "I just don't appreciate when people try and cheat their way through my game. But I see, you had no intention, right?" Talia nods her head once more. Shrugging his shoulders and straightening himself out, he lets his normal devil grin return to his face.
     "Now, tell me my dear...what do you desire?" He asks, sliding his hands into hers as his tail unwraps and re-wraps itself around her waist. "What is the one thing you're desperate for in life..name anything, and I'll be more than willing to grant it for you~" He leans forward and his eyelids droop, the dark eyes flashing a bright red as he watches Talia squirm in his hold. "At a small price, of course." Talia whimpers under his gaze and says nothing. He frowns as the gears in his head start turning.
     "Wait, you don't have a desire?" She shakes her head. "So...you didn't summon me on your own accord?" She nods her head. He removes his hands and tail from her body and steps back to think hard on the situation. Well, Bendy, we've got a situation. She's got a delicious soul...but she has no desire. But I can't just leave now, since she's been imprinted with the mark of a demon. So I have to make a contract with no definitive date. He takes a deep breath and gazes at the girl with a bored expression.
     "We've reached a problem with a simple, but possibly hard to accept, solution." Talia tilts her head in confusion, urging the demon to continue. "You see, toots, the thing about us demons is that we leave an imprint on everything we come across. Now, on a normal day to day basis where we contact little to none with humans, that's fine. But when we appear or confront humans, we face problems. See, you delicious little mortals are basically free reign for us demons. We imprint of you as soon as we contact you, usually for a contract, and then that's that. The contract seals the imprint. But, then there are cases like now, where a human summons a demon's physical form with no reason to.
     "I have left an imprint of you and I can't leave you alone without a contract. If you come into contact with another demon, they will smell my imprint on you and demand that they take half of your soul as payment for not following rules. That is an extremely dangerous process and usually destroys you mortals in days. To not do that, because I am a decent spirit, will form a contract with you to get your soul. The contract is open ended-- until I alone fulfill your soon-to-be-announced desire, I am to be your lovely and kind servant." Bendy bows to his soon-to-be-mistress, smiling big once more. "This is your only option."
     "So...I have no choice but to form a contract with you?" Talia questions slowly, just to make sure she got a better grasp of the situation. Bendy nods.
     "And with you as my demon butler, you are to do as I say, until you, by your own skill and power, fulfill my greatest desire...whatever it is." Bendy nods again. Talia sighs and turns away from him to collect her thoughts. A once in a lifetime opportunity to sell your soul to an actual demon for your safety. At least I don't know what I want yet. She looks over her shoulder to observe the growing-impatient demon himself.
     "Well, darling?" Talia nods her head and faces Bendy once more. "Alright...Bendy. I accept. You are to be my servant until the day I am satisfied." Bendy's horns seem to glint in the light and his smile becomes a smirk. "Excellent choice my dear. Now, please hold still. I need to mark you." Talia's heartbeat skips a beat as her face becomes a deep maroon. "M-Mark?" She whines, but is cut off by Bendy shoving her against a wall, pinning her hands up. "Sh..this takes time and I've grown tired of squirming mortal girls." The demon hisses and leans down to place kisses down Talia's neck and shoulders. Talia gasps and shudders, startled by the feeling of Bendy's smooth lips.
     Her body tenses as she feels his canines scrape across some of her skin. Find an ideal spot, after making Talia moan quietly with the pressing of his tongue to said spot, Bendy sinks his fangs into her. Talia lets out a yelp and digs her nails into her palm, trying to distract herself from the pain. Bendy paid no mind and drank down some of her blood. After taking a small amount, he retracts his canines and steps back to observe his work-- a dark hoodie and tattoo combination of a black star against a blueing bruise. He licks his lips and lets go of Talia, letting her fall to her knees as she tries to calm herself down.
     "You're mine, Talia. Your soul belongs to me. Don't forget it," Bendy declares, truly sealing the contract.
