Slick Like Ink

Chapter 2

Bendy jumped down from the small ledge and landed on his feet. Just like a cat. No wonder people thought he was a cat at first sight! He walked over to the village and saw that it had almost everything. But he didn't care about that. Bendy just wanted to find some sort of shelter. If he couldn't find shelter, he'd build one himself. He kept looking around, catching the gaze of others as he walked by. His tail swayed side to side as he looked.

He stopped once he spotted someone, or something, circling him. It was too fast to be identified. Bendy looked up upon hearing a propeller. But, the distraction didn't work him. He dodged before he got attacked. But he was attacked a second time immediately after he landed.

He layed on the sand, trying to recollect his thoughts. When he did, he began glaring daggers at the blue hedgehog above him. "What the heck was that for?" Bendy exclaimed as he tried to stand without getting hit again. His tail assisted him on the way up. He winced every now and then but it was no big deal. He got hit in the stomach before the sand scratched his back as he slid away. And it burned like hell. As if the cuts from the branches of the trees weren't enough. Bendy clenched his teeth and said, "Well?" The plane from before landed in behind him and a two-tailed fox appeared, "We thought you were evil." Bendy looked at the fox and dusted himself off, "You really shouldn't make assumptions like that. It can kill someone ya' know. And the closest thing to evil involving my personality is mischievous. So I'm technically not evil. Or am I?" He said smiling.

Suspicion filled the air around them.  So Bendy put down the act and walked away, thinking about the phrase he said before. "'It can kill someone ya' know.' I have a feeling that will happen pretty soon." He said under his breath. He looked at the houses. "Of course. No shelter available. How could I have been so stupid?" He thought while unintentionally said it out loud. Little did he know that someone was behind him until he felt a warm hand on his shoulder. "Umm, who-" Bendy looked behind him. Another hedgehog, this time pink, was standing behind him. He yelped and shouted, "Woah!" He took a jumped back and nearly lost his balance. The rose colored lady said, "Hey, sorry for scaring you. I'm Amy. Amy Rose. You are?" Bendy blankly stared at Amy before responding, "Umm... I'm Bendy." Bendy really had to change his name to fit in. He had no choice. Not to mention he was also depleted from his abilities and the feeling of dread and worry soaring through his body? It was very... Uncomfortable. Like gravity was pulling down on him. He really hoped this feeling disappeared, even if the relief lasted a single day. And lies are a good way to hide the fact that he used to live in a completely different universe and came here from a damn book. "So, you said you needed to find shelter?" Amy said, catching him off guard. 'Oh shoot. I said that out loud!?' Bendy thought before saying, "Yep. Shelter is all I need for now. "You can stay at my place. But please respect the furniture." She said, glaring knives at Sonic and Tails from afar. Bendy seemed to smile, most likely the first time he smiled in a single day. Bendy replied, "Thank you Amy. And don't worry. I'll make sure that everything is organized, like no one was even there." He smiled, but he knew that nostalgia can hurt. He felt a tint of sadness in his heart but he pushed it to the side and acted like he wasn't sad at all. But his serious expression gave it away. "Hey, something up?" Amy asked, catching Bendy off guard once again. His tail flails in the air slowly. "Sorry Ms. Rose. You just remind me of one of my friends." Bendy answered, 'Note to self: don't you ever be specific about Alice and Boris. That can risk it all and ruin everything and you will be put under the spotlight. You let the cat out of the bag with that and it just-' Bendy was snapped back into reality.

For the second time that day, he heard the same robotic noise from the night before could be heard. He facepalmed and murmured, "My god, when will this idiot just leave me alone?" He looked at the robots and then Dr.Eggman. 'I'm no where near ready for battle. These cuts still sting like hell, my back burns and I have no access to my abilities.' The demon thought. He looked at Amy, who had already equiped an oversized hammer. His crimson eyes clearly demonstrated the worry. "Amy, I'm in a very bad condition to fight. I bet it'll be insanely hard to even land a hit with access to only my legs." Bendy took several steps back as he spoke, but he kept his blood red eyes on her. His tail was swaying rapidly, but never managed to hit anyone. "Okay, you can stand on the sidelines while we fight." Amy replied, before joining her allies. 'I have absolutely no defenses, I can't use my arms, I don't have my friends to help me out, I can't access my abilities and I have no strategy in mind. Beautiful.' Bendy thought. He glared at the robots and saw everyone destroying them like the robots were nothing. The demon looked around him and saw some of the robots approach him. Bendy decided to kick them back while his tail seemed to be aiming at a robot. "I can't keep this up forever. I'll soon be out numbered..." Bendy said to himself while he was trying to keep his balance while rapidly kicking the robots. The sharp point of his tail was also attacking rapidly at the robots floating above. 'It would be a good idea to have The Butcher Gang here to help but nope! You had to forget how to access your abilities. If only Alice or Boris was here to help.'
