Humming as I walked around the casino, I see a band of skeletons playing their songs as the customers enjoys their games and drinks. You can say I'm their "secret band member", when they take their breaks in the back stage, I'll go to the backstage and they'll teach me how to play every music instrument, that includes guitars, violins, drums, trumpets, pianos, you name it. Though theirs 2 main talents I'm good at; dancing and singing. My parents don't know my talents, but they only know one of them is dancing. They started supporting me on dancing, yet them and I are focusing on knowing how to rule the underworld. I turn to see the band finishing their song and heading to the back stage for their break.

"Hey! It's our number one fan and audience!", The band cheered. I bowed down in greetings with a grin. "Hey guys!", I say. "How are you doing, Bendy?", They ask. "I'm doing great!", We began saying jokes, recent stories, gambling, etc. Before it was time for me to go and meet up with my parents. "I'm sorry, but i have to go. Bye guys!", i waved them goodbye before running up to my parents. "Ah! Bendy! There you are!", my Dad says before picking me up. "Bendy. I need to tell you something.", i look at my Dad confused. "What?", i asked.

"Something is happening in your Pa's office. And we both want you to stay in your room for a bit.", i frowned at this.

"When can i come out?"

"When i come and get you. As for now, you can draw, read, or play with your toys while i help your Pa with something, alright?"

I let out a sigh before nodding. "Okay."

Dad smiled and puts me on my bed before kneeling down to my level, kissing the top of my head.

"My little Devil Darling...", he said before he walked out of my room, closing the door behind him.

It's been an hour since i saw or heard my parents, i grew worry. To the point i wanted to cry, thinking something happened to my parents. Then, my bedroom door opened, revealing my Dad, covered in bruises and a few cuts, he was injured.

"DAD!", i cried out and ran over to him, hugging his leg.

"It's okay, Bendy. I'm alright.", my Dad hugged back.

"Come on, let's go see Pa..",

"Okay..."

I followed Dad to my Papa's office, until we made it to the door, my Dad knocks on it, and we wait for a response.

"Come in...", i heard my Papa's voice.

Dad opens the door slowly, revealing my Papa in bandages, head to toe. "PAPA!", i run over to him.

My Papa snarls at me with the most hateful glare i ever saw him give.

I stop running and backed off a bit, scared and confused at my Papa's actions. "Darling, what's wrong with you??", i heard my Dad asked.

"Nothing's wrong with me, you-good-for-nothing-lacky.", my Papa growled.

"Excuse me?!", my Dad asks angrily. I shook in fear, not knowing what to do.

"Bendy, darling, why don't you go to your room. I need to speak to your Papa, alone.", i look at my Dad, before i run back to my room. I shut the door behind me, just before hearing shouting and yelling through the walls. I jumped to my bed and cried, confused to the core. After crying for what felt like forever, i fell asleep. Hoping the next day turns out okay. But...

Tomorrow will be better than this, right?

After asking myself that question, i didn't realized i was so wrong.
