Bendy and the Ink Machine- Henry x Bendy

Chapter Three- Rise and Fall (Part 2)

Henry's PoV

You turned to see Bendy's head against the wall and it looked like he was in pain, but when you took a closer look, it seemed as if he was angry at something.

Or Someone..

He turned his back to the wall and looked at the door that Boris was trying to open and you glanced towards it as well. You looked down at your meal and decided not to eat it all in one sitting but to save it for everyone else. You jumped as the large, metal doors opened with a loud bang. Bendy walked towards Boris, who was on the other side, and you followed close behind.

"What the-," Your eyes widened as you entered the massive space in front of you. There was a sign recalling what this area of the studio was called,

"Heavenly Toys Workshop, I haven't been here in ages.."

Your gaze turned to Bendy for he looked upset, as if something was wrong with this place. Boris finally shook him out of his thoughts and gave a suggestion.

"Why don't we take a look around to see if we can find anything useful? I'm gonna go this way but we'll all meet back here," He waved goodbye and you saw Bendy go in another direction.

Some more me time, I guess..

You walk off towards the workroom of the toys workshop and begin to open the door to the control center but it wouldn't budge. That's when you realized that there were plush toys stuck in the fans which were keeping the door closed. You walked over and pulled all the plushies out of the fans then pushed the lever enough times so the door would open.

The room had words above the glass window saying " She's quite a gal", music had played making it a bit eerie to walk around. Just before the song was over, a familiar face jumped up and scared you, banging her hands on the glass as the lights turned off, it was Alice. Half of her face looked like it was melted off, she didn't look like the angel you remembered. Almost instantly she disappeared, around the same time you heard someone coming towards you.

"Henry!" You turned to see Bendy running towards you but didn't see Boris behind him at all. Boris must've gone to the whole other side.

"H-Hey...What's up?" His look changed from worried to annoyed in an instant, he sighed.

"You need to be more careful Henry, you're..." Bendy paused mid-sentence then shook his head and turned towards the exit.

You were confused for a bit, Bendy had been acting strange ever since he passed out from blood-loss. You followed him down the steps and stopped when he saw two different paths laid out in front of us, Path of the Angel and Path of the Demon. Bendy didn't say anything but just stood there, in silence.

"Bendy..." It looked like something was hurting him, emotionally maybe? " Which one do you want to go through?" you asked him.

"You pick...please," He seemed pale and weak so you picked him up and carried him on your back, which he was surprised by the sudden movement, "H-henry!"

You went for the Angel path.

You could feel Bendy's hand's grip on your shoulders and you tried to keep the ride as calm as possible, eventually Bendy himself had fallen asleep from exhaustion. Well, he had been running around and pushing himself too much, his wound might reopen and we still need to find more bandages.

After about 20 minutes, you and Bendy made it through the path only to meet Boris at the end of the hall with a pipe and a first aid kit.

"There you are, is Bendy okay?" Boris took a look at Bendy's condition, he frowned," Lay him down here,"

You carried him into a corner and laid him down in your lap. Bendy groaned and struggled to wake up. Boris got out some rubbing alcohol and bandages from the first aid kit and began to treat Bendy's wound. You could hear Bendy grunt from the pain in the alcohol so you held his hand until the process was over.

You smiled when he opened his eyes, relieved that he was alright. Bendy looked relieved too, glad that it was over. A slight blush went across his face and you felt his warmth in your palm. Boris got up and packed the first aid kit and helped you and Bendy get up as well.

"That should do," said Boris, "Although, it could open up soon so you need to handle him carefully. Something that scares or surprises him could cause his muscles to contract,"

"So, that means if they contract, Bendy's wound will reopen as if it was just cut," You glanced down at Bendy with a worried expression.

That's when a question popped up in your mind." So, Boris?"

He turned to you and gestured you to continue.

"How does Bendy heal so fast? I mean, it's already closing up."

Boris chuckled and picked up some goopy ink from the side of the wall. You were confused until he explained that the bandages have some ink on them. This way Bendy can heal much faster than a normal human.

"Ah, makes sense. I guess we should continue, huh?"

Boris nodded and he packed up everything from the medkit. You picked up Bendy and you all continued on your way through the Heavenly Toys workshop.

Bendy's PoV

Apparently, you were being carried by Henry. You remembered the talk Henry and Boris had and the worried glance Henry gave you, making your body go up in flames. You had fallen asleep on Henry's back for a good half hour, that is until some irritation woke you up.

You stopped Henry and climbed down from his back. Boris had been staring at a Butcher Gang poster. Something was off, you remembered something and looked at your wound while stepping closer to the poster.

Dammit, he was right...

You could feel Henry's eyes on you and you nodded to Boris, he knew this too. Right when you were about to go back to them, a butcher gang monster came out of the poster and lunged at you. Boris was quick enough to step in front of you and fight it off.

"Die immigrant!"

Boris simply whacked the inky mess out of it then placed the lever. Even though you told Boris newer characters were not immigrants, he still insists on calling them that.

You groaned in pain from the surprise attack and moment later Henry sat you down gently in the elevator. He lifted your shirt and took a look at your wound then got out a water bottle filled with ink. The wound wasn't in critical condition but it was healing just fine. Henry was trying to get the black spread on my wound off but you gestured him not to.

The last thing you remembered was the screech of metal against metal, Henry holding you tightly and Boris looking somewhat worried.

What's going on?...
