So much for endings. Beginnings are always more fun.

Part 5

Bendy fell asleep at some point, do it was hard to say when he moved from this tired state in to true unconsciousness. But when he blinked again he was lying on his back in a yellow tent whit black X on the material. Dressed in a clean white shirt that was definitely too big for him, and made the devil visually even smaller than before. His black fur was no longer dirty and ruffled but clean and silky brushed. He sat up a bit bewildered looking for his things but they where nowhere to be found, a bit embarrassed Bendy poked his head outside and saw the black cat man sitting on a log next to a fireplace whit an old fancy  kettle  suspended over it. There would be likely to be embarrassed about in this picture if not for the fact that the cartoon cat that saved him earlier that day was busy sowing up the holes in his pants, or that the rest of  his clothes hang on the side of the camp washed and sowed. Bendy felt his blushing, suddenly this situation and the fact that he was probably dressed in the guys own shirt felt a bit more intimate than it  did before. Nobody besides Henry and Joey ever showed him that much interest or care. Yeah I mean Boris cared and so did Alice but they were HIS younger siblings not the other way a round.

-Ah I see your up...wonderful I was starting to get worried.- The cats smooth and caring voice woke the demon up from his musing. 

-Um..yeah yeah i'm up...am..thank you for your help mister..um...

-Felix..Felix the cat at your service friend- The cat bowed down his head towards him- Tea?

-It be great..-Bendy whispers timidly emerging from the tent to come closer to the fire.-Um thank you for... am..loaning me your shirt and...everything really. You didn't have to.

-Nonsense, you wear clearly in need of assistance little one. –He smiles kindly,  then his expression became a bit more worried -Not to pry but could you tell my how you got trapped in that boat?

Bendy finished, Felix muttered something that sounded like 'Take your time' . 

-It's okay..um maybe if I tell you, well botch find out what happened...- Taking a deep breath he started telling everything in recent memory. Mr Felix seems to only constantly grow more worried witch etch memory he recalled, eyes growing bigger and ears flattening with concern. 

-Y..you poor boy...you don't need tea..what was I thinking, you need food!- Felix yelped running towards the tent before Bendy cud react. Digging  in his tent and emerging with a few cans of something.

-Oh is that bacon soup?- Despite all of Bendy's might, the tip of his black tail started wagging with anticipation.

-What ?No i  Haven't heard of that one...

-Huh...and I never heard there other kinds...-The devil shrugged his arms. It toke some time to set up. This time Bendy insisted on helping,  soon enough their was a pot whit soup boiling slowly over the fire. The devil smiled but it felt wrong. It looked wrong and was just all a round WRONG. It felt like THAT smile again the one he had for years and years. The one that never fade away even when he felt scared, sad or angry. It funny that you can feel trapped behind something so simple as a smile.

-Bendy...

-Yes?- The black head snapped up to meet the warm soft eyes of Felix.

-There's no need to put on a brave face boy...i'll help you find out what happened to your family. Promise. And in the meantime you entitled to your sadness and worry. Digest them don't ignore them– The cat stated putting a hand on his shoulder and the other over his own ink heart. As if to indicate where this device is coming from.
