"La da da da da da..."
Henry and Bendy's eyes slowly opened as they heard her singing. Bendy walked over to the boarded up entrance and Henry followed suit.
"La da da da da da..."
"I know that song," Henry started.
"Everyone knows that song," the lady said, "who are you? Why are you here?"
"I was invited by an old friend, and now I can't leave," Henry answered.
"Then you know more than we do," she replied, "one moment, we don't even exist. Just... Thoughts... And the next minute, this place."
"Are you gonna let us out of here?" Henry asked.
"Down here, strangers aren't good things," she replied.
She's not wrong, Bendy said to himself.
"How can we trust you? We don't even know who you are."
"My name is Henry," he said, "I used to work here."
Bendy didn't say anything.
"I... I honestly don't know my name, so they call me Alice, but I'm no angel," Alice said, "you go back and rest. We'll talk again later."
Henry looked at Bendy and nodded before he layed down and feel asleep. Bendy looked at Alice before taking a deep breath.
"Alice..." Bendy muttered, but it was enough for her to hear.
"Yeah?" Alice replied.
"Do you know who I am?" Bendy asked her.
Alice just shook her head.
Bendy's little smile disappeared. Of course she wouldn't know him. If the other Alice didn't-
Ah, shut up Bendy, he said to himself, c'mon, ask her something else besides that, ya stupid.
"Do you want to talk?" He asked.
You dumbass! He yelled to himself.
"What?" She asked.
"Y'know, just... Talk," he answered.
"I... Okay," She stopped what she was doing, walked over, and leaned on the boards between the two of them, "so... What do you want to talk about?"
Bendy thought for a moment. He then came up with something.
"What do you do?" He asked, "y'know, besides singing."
"Well... Um..." Alice thought about it for a bit as well, "I don't have much to do really, except stay away from the Ink Demon, that is."
"I never liked that name," Bendy pointed out, "that name, The Ink Demon. I never liked it"
Alice chuckled a bit, "well, that's not your fault, even if you're another one of him."
"I'm not that other Bendy, y'know," Bendy said, "he's just as lonely as I am. Well..." He looked to Henry, "as lonely as I WAS."
"You seem to really like him. How come?" Alice asked.
"He's kinda my dad," Bendy answered.
"Your "dad"?" She asked again.
"Um, yeah."
She nodded, then continued, "by the way, does it hurt much?"
Bendy then became puzzled, "what?"
"Your eye," she said, "we saw it before we put you in there. It seemed pretty bad."
Bendy felt the area where his eye was ripped out. An X-shaped stitch covered his eye.
