"We're running out so I hope you can satisfy my hunger." A figure in the dark hissed, causing Mickey to turn around in fear. The figure stood about 7 feet tall. He had rose red eyes and blended in with the dark extremely well. "Umm... are you... E-Echo?" Mickey asked, voice laced in fear as a tail wrapped around his neck, raising him 'til he was able to look directly at his crimson eyes.
"How the hell do you know my damn name?"
"A f-friend."
"What's his name?"
The tail's grasp on his neck got tighter every minute. At this point, he was about to choke. Grabbing the binds and trying to pull it apart, Mickey choked out, "Bendy. His name is B-Bendy." The tail let him go and let Mickey's body drop to the sidewalk. He placed his foot on the mouse's chest, his crimson eye showing intense disbelief, "Lies. He ran away from here." Mickey's throat burned. His chest began getting crushed. He was suffocating from the pressure.

Bendy was on his way out, without Mickey or not. He looked around. Then he heard a familiar voice say, "Lies. He ran away from here." Bendy thought, 'Was that Echo? No. He's dead.' Bendy kept along the same path as every night. He stopped when he encountered an incredibly tall figure stepping on Mickey's chest. And after some moments of disbelief, he shouted, "ECHO!" The shout seemed to grab the figure's attention, because he lifted his foot off the mouse's chest. "Bendy? I must be dreaming." Echo said, smiling. "I thought I lost you!"
"It'll take more than a few hunters to get rid of me."
"Yeah, I know. But still! It was terrifying!"
"Say, why isn't that mouse dead yet?"
"Well, after my 'new' home went down in flames, he gave us a new place to stay. But I'm afraid we might put him in danger, especially me."
"Well, I beginning to feel a bit bad for what I did. How about we bring him home?"
"It's this way. Follow me."
Echo picked up Mickey and carried him to his house. Once they arrived, Echo had to duck to get in because of his height. He put the small body on the couch and sat down on the other cross-legged. There was a massive moment of silence as Alice looked at Echo in disbelief. Echo just decided to break the silence as he diverted his attention to the witch staring at him, "What?" Alice snapped out of her trance and asked, "Is there a problem? You spaced out for a bit."
"Oh. As people become more aware of vampire attacks, then they go hide in their homes at night, leaving us with a massive hunger for blood. So much that vampires can't tell friend from foe, because they're too desperate. At that point they wouldn't give a damn about who dies and who doesn't."
"Really? Oh."
"Heh. Gruesome, right?"
"And... what does that have to do with anything?"
"The greater the hunger, the greater the desire to kill."
