I thought this picture of Sammy was hella funny for some random reason...

I guess that's how he gets Bendy's attention... Anyway, back to the chapter...

You cautiously opened your eyes, expecting to be locked up or tied somewhere. To your surprise, you were currently laying down on a small bed. You sat up, looking around the room. There wasn't much to see, it was just a bed, with a small nightstand next to it. That was it. 

Wow, he had given you a room to stay in. Didn't really expect him to do anything like that, let alone keep you alive. You slowly got up, trying to be as quiet as possible. Looking down at yourself, you noticed that your arm had been bandaged, adding to your surprise. He knew very well that you were in there, but you didn't want him to know that you had woken up. The more oblivious he was, the easier it would be to find a way out.  Reaching out for the doorknob, you slowly opened the door to the small room you were in. Your gaze was met with the lounge, a quiet place where most of the animators' break times would be held at, when people actually still worked here that is. There was no sign of the demon, so you figured that the coast was clear.

Creeping out of the bedroom, you silently explored the lounge. It was very quiet in the room, almost too quiet. The silence was keeping you alert, as if something were about to pounce at any second. You wanted to be prepared for anything, although telling yourself to keep everything together sounded pretty stupid at the moment. Why would anyone bother with that? Most people would probably throw emotions down the trash and try to find the exit, but you didn't want to lose your head if something happened.

You knew that something was going to happen....

Not long after you had left the bedroom, you turned a corner, disappointed to see that the exit was nowhere in this area of the studio. That was just great, especially because there was a very slim chance that you were going to get out of the lounge without alerting the demon, who roamed these halls. 

The whole idea of getting out was pointless now. 

Deciding that you weren't going to let this demonic cartoon gain the satisfaction of winning, you looked for a way out of the lounge. The door was fairly easy to find, but the only problem was that there was a huge mound of ink blocking the door. It didn't get any better upon realizing that something was emerging from the mound. Assuming the worst, you bolted, running back to the small bedroom.

It didn't matter how much noise you made, he knew where you had gone. The cartoon forced his head out of the ink, it's eternal smile still just as terrifying as it had been the first time around. He pulled the rest of his slim body out, immediately turning his head towards your bedroom door. His foot slid across the wood as he took a step forward, making no sound as he continued to approach your room. 

Your heart was pounding, the dreadful thought of death knocking at your door, literally...

His gloved hand knocked against the wood, deciding that he would do this in a more friendly manner. He didn't want to scare you off before he had a chance to have a word with you.

That's all he wanted....

The demon was most definitely not going to kill you, although he did have something else in mind. His patience with you was beginning to limit itself. Eventually, Bendy got tired of your cowardly actions, his banging on the door becoming louder as he tried to break the door off its hinges.

It wasn't until he actually broke down the door, that he realised it wasn't even locked. He certainly felt very stupid after realizing that. 

You screamed, backing up against the wall in fear. The cartoon rolled his eyes, although you couldn't tell he even had any. "Quit your screaming..." He demanded, immediately shutting you up. It was clear by the tone of his voice, that he was pissed off.  "Why d-didn't you k-kill me?!" You shouted in response, trying to hide your fear by speaking boldly. It didn't work at all, the fear was very evident in your voice, quite the opposite of what you wanted. Bendy did not answer her, for he didn't want her to know what he wished to accomplish just yet. Sure, you were acting quite cowardly, but personality wasn't what he cared about.

The only thing the demon was trying to do, was fulfill his wish, that wish being more of a much needed desire than anything. He didn't want to be alone anymore, and that was it. This girl was pushing her luck with her ear splitting screaming, but he was willing to let her live if it meant that he wouldn't have to be alone anymore.

30 years of being alone really does things to people, and Bendy was no exception. He knew that, technically, he wasn't completely alone. Though most of the inky monstrosities down here weren't friendly towards each other. You couldn't have one normal conversation down here without someone dying, or attempting to kill someone else.

It was a world of kill or be killed, all the chaos being held within this hell of a studio. 

You fearfully looked up at the eternal smile plastered onto his face, waiting for him to either respond, or hurt you again. It looked like his attention was on you, although you weren't completely sure because he had no visible eyes. After another minute of silence, he reached down and grabbed your good arm, hastily pulling you to your feet. You backed away, watching him with wide eyes as he left the room.

He.........didn't hurt you? That was unexpected...

Knowing that he most likely wanted you to follow him, you stepped out of the room. Your eyes darted across the room, stopping on the demon once more. He had his back turned towards you, his attention drawn to a small Bendy plushie. Turning towards you with the plushie in his hand, his grin grew as you stood there, ready to overcome the immense fear of the devilish cartoon. "Killing you is something that I do not desire, not now anyway." He was clearly talking to you, but his mouth did not move with the sound of the words leaving it. It was definitely an odd thing to see head on, but you tried to ignore it and focus on what he was saying.

"Then w-what do you want from m-me?"

His grin was practically stretching off the side of his face at this point, giving off an erie vibe that quickly spread through the room. "I simply want to make a deal with you, and now that you finally decided to face me, I can...." The demon replied, setting the plushie down on the small couch in the middle of the room, the cushions completely overtaken by dust particles. 

He folded his arms behind his back, approaching you with an uncomfortable slowness. He was trying to scare you, it was clear to see. His appearance was still unnerving, so it was working in a way, but you tried your best to stand your ground.

"It's quite simple really, all you have to do is agree to one little thing, and in return...." 

He paused, grinning wider and stretching out his clawed hand, the sharp edges glistening under the dim lights hanging above them.

"...YOU KEEP YOUR LIFE..." He finished, watching in amusement as you took a step back.

 "Then what is it?" You demanded, doing quite a good job at keeping a stern look on your face. Bendy chuckled, he knew what was really going on inside your head. You were struggling to keep yourself together, and the thought only encouraged his laughter to continue.

The cartoon was leaning closer to you, his hand still extended. 

"You will never leave this studio.....EVER..."
