Ink Black Heart (Bendy X Alice) Bendy and the Ink Machine

Chapter 8

Alice's POV:

I smiled as I watched the ink demon close my door. I started to fantasize the waltz that me and Bendy will be doing in a few days. Next thing I know I was standing in front of my closet, looking through my closet I saw a ball gown and smiled.

"I'm going to be the Belle of the Ball." I giggled and laid down on my bed still dreaming about the day to come when I remembered that Bendy invited me to dinner. Grabbing my food that I had prepared a while ago, but forgotten about. I ran over to Boris' room which I guess is now Bendy's room till he gets his new bed. Raising my fist I gently knocked on the door and waited for a come in. When it finally came I opened the door to see Bendy standing in front of the stove and Boris sitting in a corner reading a book called Lord of the Flies by William Golding. I never read the book, but from the look I'm getting from Boris it seems to be a good book, unless he's into those boring books. Turning my head I walked over to Bendy and watched him stir the soup he turned his eyes toward me for a second and smiled, making my heart pound in my chest. Bendy was about to say something when...

"NOOOO!!!!!!!!!" Boris interrupted him, Bendy turned to look at his now crying friend.

"What's wrong Boris?"

"They just killed Piggy...First Simon, now Piggy! Jack is the worst person ever!" Bendy just shrugged as I walked over and placed a hand on the crying wolf's shoulder.  Getting curious about what happened I opened my mouth to ask when Bendy looked at me. Ignoring the ink demon I started to rub Boris' shoulders trying to comfort him.

"How did they die?" He turned to look at me and looked up at the ceiling.

"Simon, was murder by being beat to death, and Piggy was murder by having a rock crush him." My voice got stuck in my throat as I pictured what Boris said. Slowly I walked over to Bendy my eyes wide open like when someone had a nightmare.

"You should have took my warning." Bendy laughed as he started to scoop the soup and put them in bowls. Nodding my head I pictured those things that happened to the poor kids happening to me. He turned his head to look at me then took my hands in his. He slowly lifted my chin up to look at him.

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you, I promise." Smiling I slowly wrapped my arms around him, his breathing became faster, but then slowly slowed down to its normal pace. I turned my head to look at Boris who was making heart shapes with his hands. Bendy's promise made something stir in my heart brushing it off I let him go and we grabbed our food and headed to the cafe where we saw Joey and Henry talking about work. We walked past them and sat down at a table several feet away. We started talking about the next show and I noticed that Bendy was playing with his food.

"Bendy, what's wrong?" I asked as I reached out and grabbed his hand, I also noticed that his breath hitched. He looked at Boris for help, but the wolf was once again lost in his book.

"I-I'm fine, A-Alice." He stuttered as I gently gave his hand a small squeeze.

"Bendy, you can tell me anything."

Taking a deep breath he looked back at his soup and started to play with it again.
"I can't waltz..." Giving him a gentle smile I once again gave his hand a gentle squeeze.

"I'll teach you." He then looked up at me and nodded. After we ate, I took him to the stage grabbed his hand and placed it around my waist. My heart started to beat faster and my train of thought disappeared as his hand gripped the back of my dress. Slowly I put one hand on his shoulder and took his hand with the other.

"Pull me closer to you, okay?" Nodding he pulled me closer so are chests were touching, I could feel my body starting to heat up and I tried to keep calm as I started to move to the music showing him how to dance. 'The demon is a fast learner.' I thought as he took the lead now and started to spin me around the room. Finally he dipped me ending the dance, slowly his face inched closer to mine. My mind started to race as I try to grasp what is going on. I quickly turned my head away cursing myself in my head.

"You learn fast, you'll do great." He slowly brought me to my feet and took a few steps back looking hurt. My heart started to break looking at him.

"Thanks for the lesson, it really helped." He started to walk away and before I could say anything, he was long gone.
