The Beast Made of Ink

Chapter 13: The Granted

-Bendy's P.O.V.-

"So, after finding a letter in the storage room, I decided to head to the studio to find out more about my Grunkle. Imagine my shock when the only thing I found was a building full of disappointment, and an demon ink monster thing." The girl that Bendy learned was named Y/N finished off her story with a sigh.

Bendy was shocked to say the least. When the girl offered to tell her tale, he was expecting to hear a happy childhood, not a life full of death, abuse, rape and misery. He always assumed that humans were only cruel to non-humans, but after hearing the story of her past... Bendy wasn't so sure anymore. It seemed to him that Y/N had experienced plenty of rejection and heartbreak in her short 19 years of life. Much like Bendy.

After hearing her story, Bendy understood a lot more, especially the reasons as to why she wasn't that scared of him. In her eyes, she probably found no cause to be scared, no reason to be scared of a literal demon ink monster thing that came to life. Because to Bendy, it sounded like Y/N had already seen the true hearts of demons and monsters that were trapped in beings called humans. Bendy was just a manifestation of that heart.

She was scared of him, but now that Bendy thinks about it, she seemed more scared for her life than anything else. She fought him for crying out loud! If she was scared of him, then what are the chances she would do that?

"If she wasn't scared for her life, then she wouldn't have told me of her past" Bendy thought to himself as realization hit him like a brick.

She said she was scared of people not knowing her story. In other words, she simply told me her story due to her fear for her life?

"Well..." Bendy thought to himself as a sharper grin grew onto his face. If she truly suffered like that, then Bendy cannot begin to imagine her tales of revenge. He definitely had to know the answers to that. Her stories of payback are probably so devilishly delicious, Bendy could feel drool escape his usually iron-tight jaw with the mere thought.

He had other questions, like what was her Grunkle's name for example (After all, she didn't say it once), but those questions weren't nearly as entertaining as this one.

"So... What did you end up doing to them?" Bendy asked in the most nonchalant tone possible.

"Them?" Y/N asked back, confusion evident in her tone.

"Yes." Bendy hissed then continued, "How did you avenge your honor against the people who wronged you?"

Nothing could be heard from the other side of the door. Silence graced the pair for a minute or two, and just as Bendy opened his mouth to ask another question, the girls boisterous laughter cut into him before he had a chance.

"WHAT'S SO FUNNY? STOP LAUGHING!" Bendy commanded, irritation made clear. He expected Y/N to stop laughing immediately, but instead she continued. Then, between her hysterics, she spoke.

"M-mister Mysterious Man, I d-hahahaha-I didn't do anything!"

How badly Bendy wanted to rip her head off right now. Fortunately though (for her), he held himself back. Once she stopped her laughing, he spoke.

"Why not?" He asked, making Y/N sigh.

"Honestly, you'd think most people would be like 'i'm sorry for your tragedy', not 'how'd you get them back...'" Y/N mumbled under her breath to herself, only to respond to Bendy's question less than a second later, not giving him a chance to talk back.
