I don't want to kill you- BATIM

Memories

The bombs going off close to him. The darkness of the night. The Terror. Henry had been on the night watch. It was dark and cold, but they were used to that. However, on this particular night, there's a humming, whistling sound -- it's soft and distant. Then, Boom! The sudden thunderous blast is close. Boom!! Again, closer now. Everyone is now fully awake and realizes it's a night bombing. All the soldiers run and dive for cover in some shallow nearby trenches. Some just lay on the ground, frozen with fear. Henry is able to get to a trench. He lays in the loose dirt, his face pressing into the ground. Nameless dread is coursing through him. Until....

Henry wakes up with a jolt when something cold is splashed over him. Henry tries to stand up but he couldn't. He looks around, he finds himself tied to an armless chair, in a fairly dark room. The wall in front of him has posters hanging on it they're in frames and are evenly spaced from each other. They are every cartoon Bendy's been in. The toon himself is standing near the corner he is facing the wall with his arms folded behind him. Henry's ax is also by Bendy, it's leaning against the wall. As if to taunt him saying "What are you going to do without me?"

"Sammy, untie him." Bendy says, his voice is now more smooth but it's still, somewhat, scratchy.

"But, my lord-" Sammy starts to protest, his voice comes from behind Henry. Wait, wasn't Sammy dead?

"Now." Bendy growls and glares, sidelong, at Sammy. Bendy's tail sways menacingly back and forth. Sammy is quiet for a moment then the ropes, that are tied around Henry, go slack. Henry is still, his mind murky and sluggish, well as still as he can be, as he is shivering. "And give him a blanket, then you are dismissed." Henry hears Sammy walking. A rush of cold air hits him and a soft object hits Henry's side. Henry is slow to react, just barely catching the object, it's a wool blanket. The door whines open then slams close. Henry wraps the blanket around himself, the blanket is itchy and thick but Henry's dealt with worse. Everything is silent after that, the groans of the building filling the void of silence.

"Do you know what it's like to sit for twenty-some years?" Bendy asks, not looking at Henry. "Just marking off the days. After you left, Henry, Joey got that damned machine. He brought us to life and made us think he was a GOD." Bendy is starting to melt, his tail lashes back and forth, angrily. Yet he continues, "Whenever we disobey or talk back to him, he would grab us, mostly by the back of the neck or by the hair for Alison and.... He would take us deep, deep into the studio. And lock us in a room- no a closet. It was so dark and cold and quiet. I thought I was going to go insane just sitting there." Bendy grabs the ax with his right hand and starts to pace. "For some reason, we couldn't move while that damned room, he may have put a pentagram in there. But still. We never really did anything to deserve that treatment!" Bendy roars and punctuates the sentence by slamming the ax into the wall. The blade digging deeply into the wood. Henry jumps when Bendy does this. Bendy starts to lose his composure, as he melts. He starts to laugh, and, with his free hand he clutches the left side if his face.

"Do you want to know what I did to him?" The ink demon asks his voice craze. Henry is almost too scared to ask but curiosity gets the better of him. "W-what?" Henry chokes out.

"I killed him slowly and painfully." Bendy pulls the ax out of the wall he laughs and looks Henry, who is terrified. Bendy walks towards Henry, still smiling. "You're no better than him, Henry. You left us." Bendy holds the ax with both of his hands and raises it over his head. Henry just stares at Bendy like a deer stares at headlights. Bendy stops, he lowers the ax. "No, I don't want to kill you I need you alive." Bendy says and looks down. "Henry. I..." Bendy sighs, though, his mouth doesn't actually open. "I want- need you to help me." It is obvious that Bendy is having some trouble asking for help. "What do you need Bendy?" Henry asks, trying to get Bendy to spit it out. He stands up but Bendy still has at least a few inches on Henry.

"I want you to make me more facial expressions." Bendy says, he seems really embarrassed. Henry is so surprised by this, he almost laughs. Henry chuckles softly "What are you laughing at?!" Bendy growls.

"I'm sorry, it just caught me off guard." Henry says and take a breath and calms himself "I haven't drawn in a while, but I'll try it's the least I can do." Henry says and reaches up and pats the space in between Bendy's horns. "Thanks, old man." Bendy purrs mischievously, Henry sighs and smiles "Sad but true."
