Bendy x Cuphead

Chapter 12: Complications While Planning Their Escape

King Dice’s P.O.V.

    I’ve been going to Shadow and Bendy’s cell every day after Shade and the others leave. I need to get them out of that soon. Especially Bendy. A few days ago, he had collapsed, unconscious. I convinced the guards to take the chains off his wrists so that he could actually lay down.

    “Shadow,” I whispered as I got close to their cell. I looked into their cell when I didn’t receive an answer. I saw that Shadow was still asleep. It seems Bendy hasn’t woken up either. Shadow was holding Bendy close as he slept. Bendy’s head was laying on Shadow’s chest. But, he looked worse than he did yesterday.

    I looked at Shadow as he slightly groaned, waking up. “Shadow,” I said, hoping to get his attention. He looked at me. “Dice?” he asked sleepily. Shadow then reached up and rubbed his eyes, waking up more. “You’re early,” he said. “Is something wrong?”

    Fear showed on my face as I said, “He’s getting worse.” Shadow’s eyes widened then looked down at Bendy. He then shifted Bendy to where his head now rested on his shoulder. Bendy’s shirt had moved on his shoulder but it was enough to reveal bandages.

    “He has some kind of wound, Shadow. I can see bandages on his shoulder,” I said. Shadow laid Bendy in the ground then checked his shoulder. “They go over his chest as well,” he said looking as me. “Check it. That may be the reason he’s getting worse,” I said.

    Shadow nodded the removed Bendy’s vest then his shirt. He then began to gently remove the bandages. Shadow stopped about halfway, shocked. “What’s wrong?” I asked, not being able to see the wound. Shadow let out a shaky sigh and looked at me.

    “He has a claw mark going over his chest. And it’s infected,” he said. My eyes widened in worry. I let out a sigh then pulled out a lock pick. I knew it was dangerous to do this but I couldn’t let Bendy get any worse.

    As soon as I unlocked the cell door, I ran in and unlocked Shadow’s chains. I then picked Bendy up as Shadow picked up his vest and shirt. “Come on,” I said running to my room. Shadow followed, the worried look on his face never leaving.

-----Small Time Skip-----

    Shadow and I gotten the wound cleaned and rebandaged. Shade had found and unknowingly made the mistake of making me their watcher. I had just gotten back from talking to Shade and found Shadow sitting by Bendy’s side. “He still hasn’t woken up, has he?” I asked.

    Shadow let out a sigh and shook his head. “He hasn’t even moved since we laid him down after changing his bandages,” he said. I nodded and sat on the edge of the bed looking at Bendy. “We just need to be patient and continue to wait,” I said.

    I saw Shadow nod. “I hope he wakes up soon,” he said. I gave a nod in agreement. Now that we know the reason why Bendy was getting worse, we can only try to keep it from getting worse. When he wakes up, it will probably be a slow recovery.

    I noticed that Shadow had become more protective of Bendy. Almost like he was treating him like a younger brother. I glanced at Shadow hearing his stomach growl. “Hungry?” I asked. I stood up after Shadow gave a nod. Before I fully closed the door, I heard something that confirmed my earlier thoughts.

    “Wake up soon, little brother.”
