BATIM - Fallen Angel
Chapter 01

Slowly, Henry’s consciousness drifted back to him by feeling warm sunshine touch his face. He opened his eyes, letting the world around him come back into focus.

His head ached and his body felt sore, but he was still alive.

He cringed a little when he suddenly heard someone talking and it’s a female voice.

“Uhm... Mister, are you okay?” Her voice sound worried and she tries to find out if he’s alive.

Henry got up slowly by feeling dizzy, he reached up to his head trying to control himself from the severity of the pain he suffers.

“Oh, my head...!” Groggily, then he stopped. Something isn’t right...

After a moment, his senses have come back normally. He looked around and found himself the he wasn’t in studio. Everything was black and white? And why is everything look so childish and cartoonish? Where exactly is he?

“H-Hey, mister?” He heard that voice again closed to him. He looked from his side and saw the person head and sees the small girl face looking at him, but wait... She wasn’t a human, but kinda like a sheep girl seems like 6-7-year-old, she had two cute black pigtails with two bows tying them up and her dress was spotted.

“You’re okay, sir! Are you hurt?” She asked him with worries.

Henry was so confused of what he saw, so he tries to stay calm, “Oh, uh... Y-Yeah, I’m fine...” He smiled nervous at her and sweat drop from his head.

“Thank goodness.” The sheep girl sight relives by hearing his answer.

Speaking of which... Henry looked around, trying to gauge his surroundings. “Um, excuse me, young miss! C-Could you tell me where exactly am I?” He asked her.

“You’re in Sillyvision Town, silly!” She smiled happily and offered her hand to shake, “Name’s Amy the Sheep, nice to meet you.”

As Henry took her hand and shack it. Wait a sac... Since when he wore gloves? Was it his imagination, or his hand has... changed? Suddenly he had four fingers and more simplistic-looking, not to mention the fact that his hand - his whole arm! He could see the rest of his body was toonish style. He looked around to find something to see himself, then he saw the lake close by, he went to it and sees his own reflection clearly.

He starts panicking and had a terrible feeling came over him. His brain unable to comprehend what his eyes were showing him. He rubbed his eyes to clear his vision and to make sure he’s still wearing his glasses, without it couldn’t see things clearly.

He was an angel. A living, breathing cartoon angel of ink... His hair was black, he had angel wings and shining halo above his head.

“Okay, okay, just calm down, Henry” He firmly told himself, trying to reassert his grip on reality. “It’s just a weird... weird dream.” He struggled to get to his, but what if it wasn’t a dream? Henry grabbed his cheek and pulled it, feeling a slight pinch of pain, but he didn’t awaken. Then he patting himself down. No effect.

Then he realization hit him like an anvil to the head.

“HOLY *Quack*” Henry quickly covers his mouth by hearing this weird sound, “What the *Honk*”

He tried too pronounces every curse he knows, but will all the words that come out of his mouth, makes strange sounds. Then he heard giggle from the sheep girl.

“You’re so funny, Mr. Angel!” Amy laughed from his reacting.

That’s what makes Henry feel so embarrassing and awkward for being a toon.

Amy smiled turn into frown by examined him slowly, “Tell me sir... Are you related to Alice Angel?” Sha asked in wander.

Henry was surprised of what she said, it obvious that he is an angel which mean the toons may thing that he and Alice related... Well of course, he created her! But he can’t tell her that, it maybe creepy and weird for a sheep child. She wouldn’t understand...

“Uh, no I don’t? But, who is she?” He asked with dumb look.

“She was my idol once? Before she...!” Amy stopped for second, as the fear glimpse through her pic cut eyes.

“Amy... you’re okay!” Henry looked at her with worries. He could tell by her eyes that something bad has happen to Alice.

“I-I’m sorry... I shouldn’t have asked you this! Please forgive me, Mr. Angel!” She begged him as her tears running down her cheeks.

As Henry kneel down to her level and wiped her ink tears with his thumbs and smiled for her, “It’s alright Amy, you don’t have to say it and don’t worry I wouldn’t ask.”

Amy blushed harder by his touch and had charming smile. She couldn’t hide her feeling that long, as she hides face and dance happily.

Henry laughed at her actions, it was really cute view for small girls when they got shy.

Then Amy start to calm down and looked back to him, “Oh, S-Sorry! I didn’t get your name yet!”

“Oh, right... Hehe! My name is Henry, but my friends called me Hen.” He introduces himself.

“Wow, your name is so... Sweet.” Amy smiled wiled for him and giggled.

“Uh, thanks!” Henry blushed and scratch beck of his head of being shy.

“So, Mr. Hen! Are you from another town? Because I have never seen you around here before.” She asked, by looking at him that he must be new here.

“Eh...!” Henry got nervous by her questing, “Y-Yeah... I’m from... another town... a small town far away from here. You probably wouldn’t know about it.” He tried his best to come up with lies.

“That’s so coooool!!! Hey, since you’re new here! How about I show you around.” Amy asked with existed looks on her face. Amy’s eyes were sparkle like stars which is was about to exploding like fireworks. Its kind a creepy and scary, but... Hey, toon logic.

Henry smiled nervously at her, “Uh, sure... why not... I-I guess I could use a little tour before I go home... H-HEYYYY!”

That didn’t hesitate when she immediately grabbed his head and walked together to the toon town.

This should be interesting... but then again, everything seems so far is about to start challenged for Henry Stein.

At Sillyvision Town:

As soon as they arrived to town, Henry was amazed of what he sees. The town isn’t so small as he thought, it was bigger than New York itself. He never imagines seeing those around him are real, everything is real. The toons are everywhere, shopping, telling, dancing and singing. The same way human does in real world.

“Wow, my gosh!” Henry gasped in his thought, as Amy holding his hand and showed him around, but he didn’t get attention of what she’s saying, “I can’t believe that I’m in Toon World, everything here so real, it’s like a dream that every child wanted... Did Joey discover this? If so, then how did he managed to link from human world? And another thing is... How I can get back home?!”

Henry has notice that some toons were looking at him with strange and amazed expression. He felt nervous and wonders why are they stare at him, if he is known by or that he is outsider.

Amy could see the people looked at her friend, which she noticed his concern by looking around and see the people looked at him as he asked himself, what were they looking at him.

“You need to be careful, Mr. Henry! Angels are pretty rare in this town, ya know?! They think of you as rarest diamond to them.” She whispered to him, as her voice sound a little jealousy.

“Is it because of my wings?” He asked, as she nodded to his question and point at his head.

“And also, the halo.” Amy told him other reason.

Okay that’s something Henry has to be aware of several things... There’re many rules to be wary. First, he needs to be careful by some people may end up dead or worse... Second, he needs to figure out the way how he can get back to his real would. There are lots of questions running through his brine and it’s really complicated for him to find the answers.

Amy sees his face shows that he’s upset and worried about something which she tries to change the subject, “Hey, how about a nice cup of coffee in the local cafe shop?! We could continue walking around the town.” She asked with smiled.

Henry nodded for her idea, as they walked across the street to the quite small building where there is cafeteria close by. As Amy opened the door the bell rings echoed, a few folks looked at them and went back to their drink and enjoy the sweets.

The Angel has noticed the three strange looking cartoons sitting in the other side room, looking at him with expression shocked and smirked. They seem to be are some kind of gang or something. As Henry tried to ignore them and pay attention to Amy.

As they took their seats at the table, Amy’s order a hot chocolate for her and Henry would have a dark coffee with milk. Then Amy start to asking him some questions.

“So, Mr. Hen! Do you have a family?” Amy asked him wandered.

“Uh, no! I ones have a wife.” He answered as his eyes look away.

“Ones! How? What happen to her?” Amy’s worries voice has made Henry notice what he did?! So, he quickly thinks of something.

“N-No, no... S-she is fine... She’s in heaven now.” He said with a false smile.

“Wow, is she an angel too,” She asked with eyes sparkle.

“Uh... Yes... Yes, she is...!” Henry chuckled by her looks.

“Aww... That sound sooo cute, I hope I could meet her someday.” She giggled and drink her chocolate.

“Yeah... Someday!!” Henry whisper under his breath and couldn’t say anything. He tries to remain calm and keep his sadness inside and stay smile, so Amy wouldn’t notice.

There is something wasn’t right! At this moment, Henry have this feeling that someone is still looking at him... Then he saw the same gangs earlier, they’re still here!? Looking directly at him with ugly smirks...

What exactly are they up to?

When Amy have noticed her friend wasn’t looking her, as she followed the gaze?! Her eyes wiled in shocked and terrified. She gulped in fear by knows who they were and knows who they are staring at.

She quickly pulled out some money in her pocked and place it at the table.

“We have to leave... Now!” She said in hurry.

Before Henry could ask her, but she quickly griped Henry’s wrist and drag him away.

What’s going on? What are they running for? All this question came to him and he wasn’t sure of what will may happen to him.

BATIM - Fallen Angel
Chapter 02

The sheep and angel are running fast as they could through the crowded streets of Sillyvision Town. The toons were looking at them with weird expressions, thought they were in hurry or some crazy lunatics.

“Amy, slow down... Where are you taking me...!” Henry pleased to the sheep girl.

Amy is hold Henry’s hand tight for not letting, scared the he may get lost in the crowded. Then she dragging him to the ally to hide. She looks behind the wall to scanned the whole area to make sure they are safe.

Henry try to catch his breath and be able to know what is happening around him, “A-Amy... ‘sigh’ Please tell me! What’s going on, and why are were hiding?”

Amy didn’t respond, she was still looking of whoever is out there, hoping they aren’t nearby. She was started shaking horrified and her eyes were wet in fear, as her head sweat in ink.

Henry could see his friend trembling in fear, what was she so afraid about? He crouches down to her level and hugged her. He has such a way to dealing with children... Sometimes he babysitting Joey’s niece whenever she came to the studio, she is a very shy little girl, but she loves to hanging around with he and always watching him draw... Well, he doesn’t have kids, but he has the experience to comfort a scared and sad child.

“Amy, it’s okay! Don’t be scared... just tell me what’s wrong?!” He whispered quietly.

“Oh, Mr. Henry... I’m so sorry...!” She starts explained and crying, “I just saw those three were... looking at you...!”

“Wh-What do you mean?!” Henry asked with worries.

Amy tried her best to tell him, but her voice was shaking in fear, “T-They are after you... Y-You have to get away... or you’ll be end up... like... Like Ms. Alice...!”

Henry eyes wide in shocked and horror by hearing this, “W... What...?” He couldn’t get any words out from his mouth.

“Well, well, well... Look what we have here, boys!” A nasty voice said behind them.

Amy gasped and Henry immediately turn around to see who it was?! Just a few feet right in front of them, they were same three toons that Henry saw them at Café and he knows who they were! They were called The Butcher Gang... The members are Charley, Barley and Edger, but they seem so tall and differed shape that he draws them. Who could this be?

“Angels are pretty rare in this town, don’tcha think, Barley?” Their leader Charley snickered his partner while he’s looking at Henry wings to examined.

“I agree, Charley.” Barley replied with evil smile.

“Oh, oh! And look at this cute little shining golden halo he had! It soooo pretty!” Edger the smallest one said, his eyes were twinkled happily by looking at gold halo.

“SHUT UP, EDGAR!!” The two yelled at him, as he covered his head with his spider hands.

Henry quickly hide Amy behind his back to protect her, “Leave us alone.” He said in courage.

“Oh, such a brave cute Angel you are!” Charley smirked and licked his lips, “But unfortunately, your wings and halo are very precious and estimated in the millions. So, you have no choice but to give up.”

“Over My Died Body, You *quack*!” Henry yelled at him cures words but couldn’t.

The three gangs were silence awkward, by hearing his pathetic try to curse. Then they laughed at him. As Amy shivering behind Henry’s back legs.

“Feisty one, eh? How wonderful!” Charley laughed, “Boy, it seems we found ourselves the challenger! This is going to be very interesting... We’re going to be rich pretty soon.” His gangs were smirked and laughed with their leader.

Henry step back slowly, placed his hand at Amy telling her to stand back. He wasn’t sure if he could take them, but he has to fight them or else he’s done for. He looks around to find something useful, then he found a wood stick close to him and immediately he picks it up and prepares himself to fight.

“Take any step or otherwise I’ll crush your brains out.” Henry shouted to get them attention.

The gangs were surprised by his reaction, but they didn’t care of what he said. They’ve seen his hands shaking off, which mean he can’t fight back.

“Now, now, boy! Don’t try to be a hero, be a good angel and give us your wings...” As Charley and his partners were about to reach him closely.

But Henry swing the stick harder at them, the gangs backed away fast as he was about to hit them.

“I’M WARNING YOU, STAY BACK!!!” Henry shouting them to back up, he tries to stay calm and stay focuses on their movements. Wait... Something isn’t right... one of them is missing! Where is the third one go.

When all the sudden the spider thread made by Edger, has tying Henry’s wrists and made him drop the stick.

Then Charley came in and punch Henry across his face until his head hit to the wall, his glasses has fell off to the other side. It causing him groaned in pain which injury his head and fall on the ground.

“Get Him Boys!” Carley commanded.

Edger and Barley held Henry tight on the ground, he let out a pain-stricken and whimper in fear, as his inky tears running down to his cheek.

As Charley approaching them holding a knife on his hand, smirking at the Angel, “That wasn’t hard enough, don’t you think,” He smirked evilly at him, “Now, the real fun is about to start.” Then he griped Henry’s wings and raised his knife ready to cut them.

Amy got panic and scream in fear, then quickly she covered her eyes.

Henry frozen in fear and panic even more, he didn’t know what to do? He’s tripped and there is no way he could escaped from them, hoping this was just a bed dream, but he’s going to die!

“NO... No Please, NOOO... LET ME GO!” Henry shouted terrified with tears, begging him to stop. He quickly shut his eyes and bit his lips to brace himself of having horrible pain.

“Is that a way we treat the innocent creatures, Charley!” A dark deep voice, came from behind them.

The three gangsters froze in fear, their smirks changed with shocked and terrify faces by hearing that familiar voice.

And also, Amy heard it too, which made her body shacking in fear?!

Henry wakes up from extreme shock when he heard the person speak deeply. His sight was blur and he can’t see this dark guy clarity. He was tall, maybe few inches taller than him, there is something sway behind him, it must be his tail and there is a smoke coming from his mouth.

“O-of c... course, n-not... B-Boss!!” Charley voice was trembling in fear and smiled nervously.

“W-We w-were... j-just play with... h-him a l-little... Hehe...!” Barley added the same expression with Charley next to him.

Edger was clearly confused of what his friends said, “We were?! But you guys said earlier, when we steal his wings and halo! We’ll get tone of money and leave this hell...?!” But Edger didn’t finish his sentence, when Charley and Barley smacked him across his head.

“WHAT... What did I say?!” Edger growled at them while he rubbing his head.

“I see, if that’s truth...” The dark guy smiled widely as his cigars was hold by perfectly white sharp teeth. “I expect you guys have clearly forgetting, what I did to you last time? Or should I remined you that again!”

“N-No...” The three horrors replied at once.

“Good...! Now, if you didn’t get the hell out of my sides, or I’ll change my fucking mind?!” He said in dark sound rage.

Without any question, they’re already disappeared from his side leaving a cloud of dust from behind.

“Next time, I’ll take them straight to hell.” He mumbled and then he turned to Henry who’s still on the ground trembling and suffering in pain.

“You okay, Doll!” He helped him to get up and sit himself.

Henry still shacking, his heart beating fast through his chest and his Inky tears still trickled. “Y-Yeah...!” His whispered through his breath, he’s still need to gather his strength back. He placed his hand on his face to find his glasses. “M-my glasses...!”

Amy quickly looked around to find his glasses, then she found it. “Here, Mr. Henry!” She placed his glasses hi his hand.

“T-Thanks, Amy!” His hand was trembling, but he managed to put his glasses on and finally he size has back out.

His eyes wide in shock by seeing the guy’s face that he wasn’t expiated. It was Bendy the Demon, his first creation standing right in front of him, alive and... Wait, something different about him!? He has a scar over his right eyebrow and also on the side of his lip and even his smiled shows his teeth were sharp. He is wearing white t-shirt, black pants and black suspenders leather and red bow tie around his existent neck... even he had cigar on his mouth... But how could this be... This can’t be his Bendy the cuties dancing demon, he used to draw with love.

“B-Bendy...!?” Henry said simply.

Bendy was surprised of what he said, then he smiles widened and laughter. “I haven’t heard that name for a long time. It seems you know me to well. But so...!” He moves his cigar away and used his other hand placed on Henry’s chin and slowly approaching his lips to angel ear, “I wouldn’t mind if you call me that, Doll.” He purred to him.

Henry was afraid of him, that he may hurt him, it makes his body tremble a lot. So, he back away and change the subject. “Uh, anyway! Thanks for making them leave, I’m really grateful.” He blushed by thanking.

“There is no need to thank me, Doll! You’re sensed has guide me here,” Bendy smiled at him, as leaned closer to Henry’s neck and sniffing quietly. “Your smell so Intoxicating,” And then he licks his soft skin, “And even your skin sense fresh and tasty.” He said excitedly.

Henry stiffened in shock, as his face was redder then blood, then he pushes Bendy away, “Stop with this nonse...?!” He suddenly felt dizziness from stressed. As he almost fell, but luckily Bendy has catch him.

“W-Woah, Doll! You’re alright...!” Bendy asked worrying about him.

“I... I...!” Henry sound trembling that he couldn’t talk. He was very weak that couldn’t open his eyes.

Suddenly Bendy felt something wet from his hand, when he saw it, his eyes wide horror. It was blood came through Henry’s head, he was bleeding. A low growl escaped from his throat, and his anger started to pour out of his body.

“I have to take you to my dear friend, he works at hospital once! But he could help you...!”

“N-no... Need to...!” Henry try refused the demon offer, he didn’t want to get into trouble.

But Bendy doesn’t care, he quickly picked the angel up making Henry let out a surprised squeal. But before he leaves, he looked at the sheep girl with serious looks, “And you, it’s getting dark out and you supposed to be at home by now. it’s dangerous for little girl to be out here... Go home?!”

Amy frowned by looking at him she’s really scared of him. So, she did of what he told, but before leaved she look back at Henry one last time with sad face and walk away disappeared around the corner.

And also, Bendy has walked out the ally, carrying Henry in his arms.

“Thank you...!” A weak whispered voice came from Henry’s mouth.

“Huh!” Bendy heard him talk, but he didn’t understand what he said, but when he looked down at him, he was talking in his sleep. It makes the demon smiled wide happily to this cute angel sleeping in his arms. He wouldn’t let this chance missed up again, this angel shall be his forever no matter what...

BATIM - Fallen Angel
Chapter 03

“Linda...!”

The woman was lay on the floor surrounded with blood, he bowed close to her and gently sprayed her hair from her face, but he got panic by seeing the bullet hole in her head.

Until he cried loudest, shocked “Ahhhhh...!!”

Henry has woken up, sitting up abruptly until he realized it was just a dream. He suddenly feels severe pain in his head, while he noticed that his head is cover with bandage.

“A... Agh, w-where... am I?” Henry whispered in pain, he couldn’t remember what’s happen to him?! But when he looks at his hand, realized that he is still a toon... An Angel Toon which he remembers from started about Joey, the Ink Machine, the Toon World and then Bendy has showed up...

The animator can’t see things, which he tries to fine his glasses! Then he found it on bedside. His eyes scanning around the room, seeing a desk with bookshelf full with medical books and medicines. This must doctor’s room.

Henry just suddenly heard the door is open, realizing that someone was coming in. When the guy enters the room, Henry’s eyes was wide in shock and surprised for seeing someone he didn’t expected!!

Boris the Wolf, his other creation and best friend too Bendy. The sweet and kind wolf he ever like to draw with Bendy as they were brothers.

“Hey there buddy, how are you feeling now?!” Boris greeting him with happy smile.

Henry couldn’t possibly believe, that Boris is here... and he also wear white shirt and black pants like Bendy.

“I... Uh?!” Henry didn’t know what he can say?! He was still in shock by seen his wolf right in front of him, but he needs to know exactly something. “W-W-where... am I?” He asked nervously.

“This is Benicio Drew House the most powerful bosses in Toontown.” Boris said.

“T-The what?!” Henry was very confused of what he heard. “W-Who is he?!”

Boris eyes were wild in shock, “You don’t know who’s Benicio?!”

Then Henry start panic, “N-No...! I-I don’t know him, I need to leave now.” He quickly tries to get up and walk away, but Boris stopped him.

“Woah, slow down buddy! You can’t go out like that, you still hurt and beside Bendy will be very anger if you leave...” Boris try to hold him.

Henry still resisting to get free from the wolf grab, “J-Just let me go... I need to... Wait, Bendy!” Henry has suddenly stopped when he heard Bendy’s name.

“Yes, Bendy is Benicio... His gang used to call him Ink Boss or Benicio.” Boris was confused at his behavior, but that didn’t matte to him. “Anyway, let me check on your wound.” Boris said.

By now Boris disinfected the wound on Henry’s head.

“Ouch!” Henry yelp in pain.

“Easy there pal, I almost done.” Boris said calmly, as he starts bandaging.

The Angel didn’t notice the damage at first, it may have happened when The Butcher Gangs attacked him.

“By the way I’m Boris, Boris the wolf and yours?!” Boris introduce himself kindly.

“I’m Henry, but you can call me Hen for short.” Henry said.

“Hehe, nice to meet you, Henry!” Boris smiled to him, then he finished his work. “There, all done.”

Henry sighed relive, and looked at Boris smile. “Thank you, Boris!” Then he hugged him thankfully. Which shocked the wolf and blushed, so he quickly pushed the animated away.

Henry was confused, Boris is the type of wolf who loved affection and cuddle.

“I... Uhm, I-I’m sorry Henry... But, you see Bendy wouldn’t like see us this way. It wouldn’t end well for either of us.” Boris said nervously.

“Why is that?!” Henry asked wandering.

Boris looked away, scratch back of his head and try to get the point. “Well, you see... Bendy is very possessive,” Then he looked back at Henry, “Of you.”

Henry’s face was redder in shock, “What...! That’s ridiculous, why would he be possessive of me? He doesn’t even know anything about me and also, I don’t know him. Besides I’m not an object to possess!”

“P-Pardon me... Mr. Boris!” A quiet voice startled both of them.

On the floor not too far, there was a little ink blob with big eyes looking at them. It was so small that Henry was sure that he could fit into his hand.

“M-Master, wanted to... s-see you... Immediately.” It said with cute squeaky voice.

“Understood, I’ll be there.” Boris said, then he looked at Henry, “I wouldn’t be that long, if you’re hungry be free to visit the kitchen and grab something to eat.” Then he left the room and leaving Henry along.

Henry was very nervous and scared. How could this happen to him and implicate himself. This is not supposed to happen, this is completely unbelievable.

Bendy’s Office:

The Demon was chilling in his chair, smoking a cigarette while studying some documents he needs for his work. Then he heard the knock on the door.

“Enter!” Bendy said as he still looking at the papers.

Boris open the door and enter the room. “You call for me, Bendy?”

“Ah, yes... Do come in, buddy!” Bendy said boringly, then he looked at the little blob, “You’re dismissed, little scum.” He growled at the blob, as it squeaked with fright and dissolved into the floor.

Boris set down on the chair opposite of Bendy. Then Bendy offered him a glass of wine, but the wolf shook his head, “You know I don’t drink alcohol.”

The Demon shrugged and poured himself a glass, then he put the bottle away.

“I see you’re getting quite friendly with the Angel... Huh, my friend!” The demon’s eyes were sparkled.

“Aww, don’t tell me you’ve got jealous by that hug.” Boris smirked at him.

“What? No, no you got me wrong, bud! But...” He blew a smoke to Boris’s face, the wolf coughed few times, then he stood from his chair, “Don’t try anything stupid behind my back, you don’t want to repeat your mistakes again, do ya?”

“Of course not, ‘cough’ Henry is different than any other angels...”

“Henry!!”

“Yes, that’s his name, if you didn’t know.” Boris said.

“Hmm, I like that name...” Bendy was impressed by the Angel name.

“Bendy, you don’t have to do this, he’s not like that, he’s not Alice-...”

“DON’T YOU EVER SAY THAT NAME AGAIN, OR I’LL SEND YOU STRAIGHT TO HELL...” Bendy screamed in rage and his face start melting nearly cover his eyes.

“YOU KNOW YOU CAN’T DENY IT FOREVER,” Boris yelled back at him, “What Alice did was wrong, but she didn’t deserve for what you did... And you can’t drag Henry into your foolish games, he doesn’t deserve this.”

“You don’t know shit, Boris! I would not drag Henry into any of my games!”

“Oh really! So, you’re just gone say that you won’t hurt him?!” Boris growled.

Bendy went silent, then he smirked showing his perfectly white tooth. “I didn’t say I wouldn’t hurt him, Boris~!”

“You’re a monster...” Boris gave Bandy a disapproving look.

“I’m a Demon Boris, all toons should know me~!” Bendy said, then he set down and smoke his cigarette.

Meanwhile Henry has decided to look around Bendy’s house or should he call it a mansion? It’s huge and stately, but gothic style isn’t exactly his type, but it’s really nice house. Was Bendy living here alone with Boris?

Every room looks very uniquely, but Henry was fascinated mostly by the library. Apart from animating cartoons and spend a lot of time reading books.

Henry has found the library, the room is full with mountain books, his eyes sparkle when he sees many kinds of books and he cannot resist to look away, he loves reading.

His drooling was interrupted by something...

On the wall in front of him was a large painting of beautiful dark hair woman with brightly smile. She is wearing a black dress with bow and had an angel halo and horns on her head. Henry couldn’t find any hint of sadness on her face. But... Why would this beautiful painting be hidden in dark place?

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!”

“Huh?” Henry turn around and saw the man wearing a Bendy mask, dressing white shirt and overall, yelled at him with angry expression.

“This library is out limiting and you shouldn’t be here.” The man came in and grabbed him by his shirt and drag him out of library and thrown him on the floor.

“Oww, that hurt.” Henry complained, “What was that for?”

“You shouldn’t be in here; this library belongs to Lord Benicio... He’ll kill you if he finds you here.” The man said with stern voice.

“Oh, I’m very sorry... I didn’t know that!” Henry stood up rubbing his hurt arm, “I just wanted to look around and find the kitchen.”

“Well in that case, you have learned you lessen. Just be careful next time.” The man crossed his arms as he still looked at him.

“Are you the librarian?” Henry asked.

“Not exactly, I’m the right-hand trusted servant to Lord Benicio,” He smiled proudly, “The name’s Sammy Lawrence.”

Henry has been shocked, that man... Is Sammy the music director, his coworker and his great friend! The ink began to slowly melt over his face and even his hole.

“S-Sammy!” Henry voice was trembling.

“Yep, that’s me... Wait a sac!” Just then Sammy have notice something about the Angel, he grabbed him by the chin and jerked up to look at him closely. “You look familiar to me. That face... have we met before?”

Henry trying to calm his breathing and push his dripping ink back into place. “N-No, no I-I... I don’t... think so! Or... maybe?” He smiled nervously at him, try to keep himself calm as he whispered to his last part that he may remember him.

“What’s your name?” Sammy asked.

“I-I’m Henry...!” Henry said his name hopefully that he knows him.

“Hen-ry... Hm...” Sammy still staring at his face, then he let go, “Well, it doesn’t matter. You must be new here, which is why I have never seeing you here?”

Henry couldn’t help but feel pain, sadness and disappointment that his friend doesn’t remember his name and even he didn’t even recognize him. So, he decided to keep his surname for himself for now and maybe someday he’ll do whatever it takes to help his friend.

“Yeah, you could say that,” Henry answered, “But I won’t be here that long, just as soon I find Bendy, I’ll be on my way.”

“Ehhh, Wait!!” Sammy stared at him, then he spoke clearly. “H-He let you call him by that name?”

“Uhh, yes? That’s his name after all... Why?! Is there something wrong?”

“No, not at all... Everyone used to call him Lord Benicio or Ink Boss, except Mr. Boris and Miss Alice-...” Sammy suddenly shut his mouth out, that he shouldn’t spoke that name. He looks around the hell, just to be sure that no one have heard him.

“Uh, what about Alice...” Henry was about to asked, but Sammy immediately covering the Angel’s mouth and shush him.

“Shhhh, Don’t. Ever, say that name in front of Lord Benicio.” Sammy yelled at him.

Henry nodded to reassured Bendy right-hand serve.

Then Sammy started to relaxed. “Sorry bud, it just that Lord Benicio had dark past, everyone knows about and no one dare to speak of... I would tell you about it, but I don’t want to take the risk...!”

Henry placed his hand on Sammy’s shoulder, “I-It’s okay, you don’t have to say. I understand...”

“Hello gentlemen...!”

BATIM - Fallen Angel
Chapter 04

The tall demon is standing between the Angel and his right-hand serve smiling at them, “Am I interrupting something.” His spoke with sly voice.

“M-My Lord!” Sammy dropped his knees and bowed his head, “I-I was just telling Mr. Henry that the library is out off limits, that’s all...!”

“I see, I’m glad you informed him in time. Ya can continue your work.” Bendy rolled his eyes at Sammy too obedient his behavior.

As Sammy thanking his Lord, he quickly says goodbye to Henry and walk away.

“I’m very sorry about him behaver, he can be a little- ehhh...!” Bendy tried to get the right words to explained.

“Oh no, it’s fine! He’s just doing his job.” Henry said nervously.

“True, but sometime he’s overreacting...” As suddenly Bendy put his hand on Henry’s head wound to look at it with worried and it makes Henry’s face gone red, “How’s your head? Feeling any pain?”

“I’m fine now! Thanks to Dr. Boris.” Henry smiled nervously at him, “His medical skill is great, I feel much better because of him.”

“I’m glad to hear,” Bendy smiled widely at the Angel, “Since you’re feeling well, how about I show you around the house.”

“Oh... Uh, no! You don’t have to do this,” Henry try to decline his offer, “I’m really grateful for you saving me and took care of me, but you have done enough for me. I have to leave...!” Before Henry couldn’t finish his sentence, because Bendy grabbed his wrists tight which cause Henry whimpered in pain.

Bendy made a low growl escaped from his throat, his eyes were glow in red. He leaned closer to Henry’s face and said in dark tone. “You’re not going anywhere...!”

Henry was shaking by his rage; his body and his wings are tremble in fear and “B-B... Bendy... Please, let go... You hurting me!” He gulping and whimpers in fear.

When Bendy saw Henry’s eyes inky tears running down his face, notices that he’s scared of him. Then the demon realized that he’s grips is husting his angel’s wrists, so he quickly let him go and try to calm himself.

Henry back away from him not facing him. He rubs his wristband relieves pain and he hugged himself, as his wings were trembling and also his hole melted above his head feeling of fear because of him.

“I-I’m very sorry... I didn’t mean to scar ya...!” Bendy said quietly so he could calm the angel from fear, “What am try to say is... It’s getting late and it’s not safe to cute angel like you going out on a dark night.”

‘Cute!!’ Henry said in his thought.

“And also, Boris and I have suggestion that you should rest here a little longer~” Then Bendy look at him closely, “It’s for your own safety health, Doll!”

“D-Doll!!” Henry said loudly and blushed at the nickname. “Who’re you calling ‘Doll’?”

“You’re, of course... Doll.” Bendy smirked evilly at the blushing angel.

“M-My name is Henry... not a Doll!” Henry bushed nervously at the demon.

“But this nickname is suitable for a cute and beautiful Angel I’ve ever seen.” Bendy smiling and laughed. Then he suddenly took off Henry’s glasses from his face.

“HEY, what the...!” Henry was surprised of what Bendy did.

Bendy was amazed by seeing Henry’s face without his glasses. Which made him eyes sparkle to this beautiful angel right in front of him.

“Bendy, give me back my glasses.” Henry pleased.

“Hold still, Doll! I want to see your beautiful face.” Bendy moved the glasses away from Henry to see his face and it seems he enjoy himself of teasing Henry to make him forgot what he did.

“Hehe... I know it, you have a beautiful face without this silly glass...!” Bendy place the glasses on his eyes, which made him jumped in shock, “Wow, Doll! No wonder why you needed this, your eyesight blind like a bat~.”

Henry couldn’t take this anymore, as he tried to get his glasses back, “STOP SAYING WITH THOSE NONSENSES, BENDY! JUST GIVE IT BACK!”

*Gurgle*

When all the sudden, the angel stomach made a loud noise. Henry froze silently in shock, made the angel face became red and produced hot steam coming above his head.

Bendy was soaked laughter and guffaws the endlessly from his amazement upon hearing this sound, it was funny by him. Then he finally had gotten it all out and the aftershock wave of giggles had passed, he rubbed the tears from his eyes seeing Henry turned around and cover his face with his hands feeling shame and embarrassment returning in the form of a bright blush.

‘This is so embarrassing...!’ Henry said to himself.

Bendy hugged him to keep him calm, “Aww, don’t be shy, Doll! Didn’t mean to laugh, but you look so cute when your face turn red.” Bendy said, chuckling slightly while he did.

“Not funny, Bendy!” Henry tried to struggle, but Bendy’s grip only got tighter, “Let me go!!”

“Not until you accept my apologies and have dinner with me!” Bendy smirked behind Henry’s back, “Pleeeaasse?” He whined.

Henry realized that Bendy wouldn’t give up, so doesn’t have a choice, “Fine.” He said reluctantly.

As Bendy placed Henry’s glasses on his face and dragging him toward the hall. The angel was confused about Bendy’s hand, it’s warm and gently which made his heart beats hard through his chest and his cheek getting redder... It feels real when Bendy touch him.

With his returned clear thoughts, they have arrived to the dinning room where Boris is waiting. Bendy pull the chare to let Henry sit close to him and Boris. As Henry took his seat the servants start serving food and everyone began eating.

Henry was uncomfortable, he never used to eat in a large place and hasn’t eaten such this food since Linda death. As he watches Boris eating happily with his food.

“You’re alright, Doll?”

The animated heard Bendy talk to him, he notices in expressions from demon’s face shows disappointment and worried.

“Y-Yes... I’m fine...” Henry said nervously.

“You haven’t touched your food yet; it’ll get cold.” Bendy asked.

Henry slowly intense himself, he didn’t want to upset the demon. So, he took a deep breath and take a bit of beef steak from his plate, his eyes wide a bit as when he tastes it, until he started eating appetizing. It tasted great, he took another bite, chewed, swallowed, then took another.

Bendy was grinning of watching the angel eating, pleased that he liked the food. His tail flicked happily.

After ten minutes of dead silence, Henry decided try to say something.

“Um,” Henry began to say a bit quietly, “Thank you for the... Uh, food. It’s great.”

“Why thank ya, I appreciate it.” Bendy smiled and swishing his tail.

Henry sighed thankful that the tension has broken.

“So, Doll! Since you’re new here, how about you tell us something about yourself? I would like to know you more.” Bendy asked the angel.

Henry was nervous as he played with his wing. “Well, uh... There’s a lot of things I like to do... I like to draw, reading and do some other stuff...”

“Do you know how to sing?” Bendy surprised him with this question.

Henry looked to the other side not facing Bendy with sad face, “I used to, but... not anymore.”

“Why is that?” Bendy asked.

“It’s complicated... and I don’t want to talk about it.” Henry’ voice getting weak and his body along with his wings were shacking.

“Oh, come on Doll! There is no need to be shame of, you can tell us any...”

“I SAID I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT...” Henry has sudden shout which made Bandy and Boris jumped in shock. As Henry start breaking his tears down and hug himself, as Boris try to comforted him, as he pets the angel’s back gently to calm down.

Boris looked at Bendy and give him an indication that this is not a good time to talk. As Bendy nodded to him.

After a few minutes, they relaxed for a bit after dinner, Henry was more relaxed this time. As Bendy stood up and started a record player with some up-beat swing music. Bendy waltzed back over, where Henry is sitting and reached out his hand.

“Wanna dance, Doll?” He asked with smirk.

“Uh! Actually, I don’t dan...” Henry interrupted by Bendy grabbed his hand and pulled him up off the couch. Henry blushed embarrassedly, as he stood in some open space floor feeling awkwardly blushed, while Bendy began to dance.

It’s obviously he was certainly the ‘Dancing Demon’ as they called him. While Boris is watch.

Bendy raised an eyebrow, “Come on Doll! Dance with me... Show me what you got!?” Bendy didn’t stop dancing and Henry could barely focus on his words of being embarrass. Bendy continued staring at him and Henry shook his head.

“I-I don’t know how.” Henry stared at the floor, and his face felt like it was as red as a tomato. “I’ve... never dance.” He fiddled with his hands as Bendy stopped dancing.

“What?? Are you kidding me? First you can’t sing and now you can’t dance? What kind of angel that doesn’t know how to sing and dance?” Bendy’s eyes were wide on shock, as he looked at Henry with astonishment, trying to figure out how could possibly this toon not knowing how to dance.

While Bendy has noticed Henry reaction, his face was red and his body shaking by feeling embarrassing and ashamed.

“Oh, golly!” Bendy sigh heavily and starting to become embarrassed as well, “Okay, we have a long night ahead, you’re gone need a lot of practicing to learn!”

“W-What?” Henry said with surprised.

“I’ll teach ya how to dance.” Bendy repeated back to him. As Boris interrupted.

“But, Bendy you have a sing page that you need to...” As immediately Boris stops telling when Bendy looked at him with glowing evil eyes and low growl escaped his throat, which caused the wolf panic... This was his warning not to interferes.

“Or... I was mistaking, Hehe...” Boris laugh was trembling and sweat cold in fear, “I should probably get some sleep... Night guys!” Then he quickly walks out the room, leaving two toons alone.

‘Finally, all alone...’ That is what Bendy said to himself, then he looks back to Henry, “Now, where was I... Uh, yes... First leasing is footing... Put one foot in front of the other, like this,” Showing him the move, “Then swung your other foot, step back and do it with your other foot... It’s Simple.”

As Bendy motioned for him to try it. Henry took a first step, then another and swung his foot back ward, then he stepped back again. Then swung his foot backwards and then brought his foot forward. But not on purpose, one of his foot got caught on his leg and lost his balance and fell forward right into Bendy.

Luckily, Bendy catch him as he kept his balance upright as Henry’s face planted into Bendy’s chest. Bendy wrapped his arms around Henry’s body with blush furiously on demon’s face! It made Henry blush lightly as his eyes widened in shocked and didn’t want to remove his face from Bendy’s chest, because he was scared that Bendy would probably be angry.

Bendy awkwardly patted his back and chuckled a bit, “You’re okay, Doll?” Bendy asked, looking down at Henry.

Henry’s face was burying in Bendy’s chest. It feels oddly quite comfortable, which he tries to focus on his breathing and reduce his heartbeat that may help. After a few moments, he began to calm down and move away from Bendy’s chest.

“I-I’m sorry!!” Henry apologies and didn’t look up at Bendy. Instead, he keeps his eyesight in the floor by feeling ashamed.

Bendy took step forward and place his right hand on angel’s cheek.

“Relax, Doll! Ya just tripped by accident... Try again.” Henry nodded, as he kept his gaze on the floor and focused on his feet... He stumbled a couple of times, but luckily for him Bendy has kept him from falling again.

Bendy grabbed his hand and put his other one on Henry’s waist. “Now, hold on to me and follow me.” Henry reluctantly put his free hand on Bendy’s shoulder.

After that Bendy was satisfied that Henry had gotten hang of the footwork.

The music is playing as they still danced slowly swing around while dancing. Henry joined dancing with the demon. Finally, Henry was glance at Bendy. He was tall and thin, with long legs and a muscular chest and his tail was swishing slowly.

After several minutes, they stopped dancing. They both took a couple steps away from each other.

“It’s getting late. How about I show you to your room?” Bendy asked.

“Sure,” Henry responded.

Bendy hold out the door for Henry and they exited the room. Bendy lead him to the second floor the hallway, where the guest rooms located. Henry looked around wandering of how this house is huge, this there any other toons live here with Bendy.

Henry took a deep breath and asked, “Bendy, are there any toons live here with you?”

Bendy turn around and face the angel with surprised looks, “No, I live here by myself with my friend Boris.”

“Then why do you need a big house if you live here on your own?! Aren’t you feel lonely?” Henry asked.

Bendy didn’t respond as he look away not facing the angel. Henry thought it was a terrible mistake to asked him this question.

“I-I’m sorry, Bendy... I didn’t mean to...”

“No, no... You didn’t say anything wrong,” Bendy interrupted, “It just that... No one has ever asked me this question for a long time.”

“Really...!” Henry was surprised of what he heard.

“Yeah, hehe...” Bendy scratching the back of his head, a bit embarrassed. “It’s weird feeling, because the people will freak out if they ask me.”

“How so...?” Henry asked curiously.

“Doll, you already know what I can do, right...?”

Henry wasn’t quite sure what Bendy is saying as he remembers what Boris has told him ‘The most powerful bosses in Toontown’ that actually the question that he doesn’t know anything about him?! What exactly the main work or business that Bendy is doing? By his looks he seems like a corporate manager or chairman to this town. Maybe he could ask him that later when the time is good to talk.

Then the demon stopped in front one of the doors in great hall.

“This one is gonna be yours... It’s not that big but it has a comfy bed.” Bendy said, opening the door to the bedroom. Henry looked inside the whole room was breathtaking with a big bed in the corner, a desk with drawing set on top, chair and a couple of bookshelves. There was a beautiful flower on the window and a fluffy-looking carpet on the floor and bathroom on the other side. “Is it alright?”

Henry nodded with smile, “Yes, it’s beautiful. Um... I’m not sure why you’re doing this but,” He grabbed Bendy’s shoulder and gave him a kiss his cheek, “Thank you.”

Bendy face was burning and a little heart popped above his head. It’s been a long time since he got a kiss from an angel. Not that he minded...

“Well, uh...Uhm, I’ll leave you alone now, make yourself comfortable in your room.” As Bendy is about to walked out of the room.

“Night, Bendy!” Henry said to him before he leaves.

“Night!” Bendy repeated back and shut the door, leaving Henry along with his thoughts.

The angel walks down to his room, then flopped down on the bed. Why his heart beating so fast? Out of all the characters, Bendy has always been his favorite, all though he had no idea why. Now that Bendy is real, he could hang out with him, but he was confused...

At times, Henry really hated his mind. It liked to throw odd thoughts at him, and he would end up dwelling on those thoughts. Why wasn’t he more comfortable? Why wasn’t he happier again?

Bendy was whistling on the way back to his office, still thinking about that kiss. It felt so nice to have the angel’s lips on his cheek. He touched his cheek and blushed then shook his head, no he can’t get distracted by the pretty angel now... He is so close, everything is going according to his plan. He grinned when he reached to his office, he entered and locked the door behind him, sit in his chair and letting out satisfied sigh.

“Ahhh... Finally, I’ve told you won’t be the last one Alice, if only you choose the right path back then...” He opened the drawer and pull out the photo of beautiful angel. On the picture she has a truly genuine smile, “Don’t look at me like that darling~ You had it coming... and so will he.”

“You could have been mine~”

Flashback:

“No seriously Bendy, stopped it! That’s tickles! HAHA!” Alice laughed, as the demon continued tickling her. They were sitting under a tree near to the forest, enjoying the nice day.

“I’ll stop if you say I’m the handsomest demon you ever seen~” Bendy smirked.

“O-Okay! You’re the handsomest demon I’ve ever seen,” She said in laughter and Bendy stopped tackling her. They both fell into a silence and Bendy suddenly got nervous.

“Alice...? There’s something I wanted to tell you for a while,” He played with his tail nervously, looking down at his feet.

“Hmm? What is it Bendy?” Alice looked at him with surprised face.

“W-Well... We’ve been known each other for a while and been friends for almost three months? And I noticed how nice and generous you’re to the others and me... You don’t mind my jealousy and possessiveness. Also, Boris likes you too and you made the life in me mansion brighter. I’m starting to like you more then a friend... is there a chance you may return my feeling...?” The demon looked at her with hopeful eyes.

Alice was processing what she just heard. Her eyes widened.

“NO!” She shouted.

Bendy’s heart shattered.

“I mean... We can’t! Y-you’re demon and I’m an angel... I’m too pure to give up my life in heaven just to stay down here with you and I’m not giving my wings for you... I’m sorry Bendy, but I could never love you as a lover... You’re a DEMON, the creature with dark soul and no goodness in your heart,” Every word hit Bendy like a knife, so... This is what Alice thinks about him.

He felt tears in his eyes.

“I’m sorry...” She whispered and stood up, walking away from him.

Bendy’s sadness was replaced with anger, “So... This is what you think about me, Alice?! That I’m a heartless monster?! I thought you’re my friend!”

“I was, but you ruined it! You’re blinded by love could never have in return Bendy...” That was the last straw. An ink formed in Bendy’s hand change into a sharp knife.

“Those words were your last mistake angel~” Bendy smirked and his eyes darkening.

“Bendy wha- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!” She suddenly felt pain behind her back and she fell on the ground. Alice touched her back and screamed in agony when she realized what Bendy has done... Alice looked at him and saw him holding her bloody pair of wings in his hands.

“What have you done to me?!” She cried, terror in her voice.

“I made sure you’ll never visit your beloved heaven ever again, how dose this make you feel? Hopeless, maybe?” He laughed hardly, he grabbed her halo above her head, throw it on the ground and smashed completely by his feet.

“Now... Let’s finish this angelface...” He grinned and raised the knife again.

Flashback End:

Bendy shook his head at the memory of hearing Alice’s last scream for help. She deserved it... Played with his feeling and there’s no way Henry won’t do the same... and he’ll make sure that no one will ever take him away.

Until then, he’ll do whatever it takes to make the angel trust him and loved him.

BATIM - Fallen Angel
Chapter 05

Deep in the dark place where poor Henry laying to his knees on the floor with a pool of ink around him and clutched his heads tightly at the hand of his wife Linda where her body is laying on floor with a pool of her blood.

He started tremble as something forced itself into his mind, images started to form, visions have come and went rapidly. An ink splattered on the floor as soulless eyes looked through him, a gaping mouth shuddering slightly. Her body twists as limbs grow longer, clawed hands gripping at the tile as Henry takes a step back, his eyes widening in fear.

Henry breathes heavily while looked to Linda’s eyes are nothing but dark black holes and her hair dripping on the floor. “Why did you let me die, Henry! We could have lived together forever!” It shrieks as it swipes at Henry.

He gives a loud shout rushing towards the abomination and slides under its legs wiping his hand against the ground to gather as much spilled ink as he can. Its limbs collapse as it struggles to breathe. Henry falls to his knees at the sight. It wasn’t his wife, but it wore her. Her hair, her scent, everything he knew about her. Henry feels tears spill down his cheeks as it whimpers loudly.

I’m sorry, Linda...

I’m so sorry...

Suddenly Henry’s eyes shoot open with tearful eyes, his breaths quick and sharp. He finally pulls himself out of the haze. He’s back on the bed, but not in his world, in Toon World... As he could tell that he is still in toon formed when he looked into his hands.

Henry was silence feeling his chest heaved as he slowed his breathing and his head hurt. He feels the tears ink coming from his eyes and his hole melts down above his head. He dips his head on his hands and swallows hard, feeling awful of what he saw. It was horror... How long well this continue, he just can’t get much sleep since her death.

It that time the sun seemed to rise up in the clear sky. Henry got up from the bed, looking through the window and sees the city of Toon world full of vibrant and activity, as its residents, but it seems they’re happy with their lives, especially him. He is stuck in an unknown world, not knowing how to return...

He shook his head to think about it later, he walked to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water to wake himself up from those disturbing thoughts.

While he fixes up his hair and place his glasses, he looked at himself in the mirror seeing his own reflection clearly. It appears that he’s completely an angel toon by the looks of it, but why an angel?! Why would the machine give him this form? For what reason?

While he examines himself, he felt his body skin was made by ink, but it feels like a real skin as his original skin. He gripes the halo above his head inspect to see a shine medal made of pure gold which is real by looking at, no wander why The Butcher Gang wanted it badly. And then he looked behind his back, he sees big wings cover with white feathers, when he touches it!? It was soft, mushy and comfort like a pillow, but could these wings be useful to fly? Who knows or maybe it’s just for show... He didn’t care, but there is one problem he should know! How can he wear clothes with those big wings behind his back? This is gone be hard to dress up... He let out a long sigh feeling uncomfortable of what he had become.

Knock, knock...

Henry jumped frightened when he heard the door knocking. He took a deep breath and sigh to calm himself down. “Y-Yes!” He answered.

Bendy has appeared in doorway, “Morning, Doll!” He smirked when he saw the angel.

Henry sight in relieve, but then he turns his face away and crossed his arms, “I’ve told you to stop calling me that... It’s Henry... H.E.N.R.Y... Henry.”

“Right, right, sorry... Henry!” Bendy laughed a little of his cute behavior, “Ready for breakfast?”

“Uhh, yeah sure?” Henry repeated back, he feeling awkward as butterflies fly inside his stomach, what’s wrong with him?

Bendy has notices by looking at Henry’s face know something is bothering him, he could see through the angel’s eyes that he was crying at night and he probably hasn’t slept quit well. He’ll ask him that later when they’re alone.

Then Bendy led him to the dining room where Boris is already eating happily his pancakes. When the wolf saw Henry, he waved at the animator then he continued eating.

When Henry saw the table full different varieties of delicious food which made his mouth watered... Holy *Quack* He was in heaven. He set down and start eating pancakes the first he got.

Which Bendy watched the angel with a slight amusement.

“Ya seem to like pancakes that mush, huh!” Bendy asked, as he is eating bacon with fried egg.

Henry swallowed the pancakes and frowned, “Y-Yeah, it’s delicious...” He smiled nervously.

“Glad to hear! So... Henry, how about ya tell us something about yourself.” Bendy asked the angel.

Henry stop eating by hearing the demon ask him the question about himself, it made his stomach turns with anxiety knowing that he may try stretched him to find the truth, “Umm... T-There’s... nothing exciting about me...” He avoided looking into his eyes.

“Aww, come on, Doll! We would like to know more about ya, last night you’ve told us that ya like to draw and reading... but you can’t sing and dance, what else ya got?!” Bendy said.

Henry sat silently, looking down at the floor.

“How about ya tell us where did you come from?” Bendy suggested.

Henry haven’t thought about this, he should’ve realized that someday he is gone ask him this question. He swallows hard and breath quietly able to think about what he can say, “Well... Uh, I’m actually from another town far away from here... I-It’s a small town not much know it location yet... and I don’t think you could recognize it so easily... Hehe...!” He laughs nervously and sweats from an intense fear, hoping that sounded believable.

“I know every city and every towns all over the world, Henry... You’ll be surprised how much I know,” Bendy responded, his face still saying it wasn’t buying it at all. Which caused Henry shacking in fear realized that the demon know he was lying, “But if ya don’t wanna to tell us, then that’s okay.” He sipped from his coffee.

The angel sigh relieves and took a drink of water.

“Do you have any family or friends back home?” Bendy continued.

Henry looked down, “I... I never have a family, I grow up in an orphanage since I lost my parents in car accident when I was a child,” Bendy and Boris looked at him in surprised of what they heard, “I was very shy kid and I didn’t really get quite attention with other kids, which is why I don’t have friends and I usually sit someplace along and start drawing a picture and sketches. That’s how I beginning to love drawing and created many creatures in my mind.”

“Hm, I see...!” Bendy was interest by hearing his story, “And how is Linda?”

Henry jumped in shocked when he heard the name, “H...H-How do you her...?” He was about to asked, but Bendy interrupt.

“Last night when I went to check on you?! I accidentally heard you talking in your sleep and said her name many time... So, how is Linda?” He said, as he drinks his coffee.

Henry body was shaking, not knowing if he could tell him, but he had nothing to hid from the demon, “S-She... She’s my wife.”

Bendy spit his coffee out his mouth and Boris swallow his food in quick shock, “W-WHAT??” The shouted loudly.

“Y-Yes, Linda is my wife...” Henry said nervously.

‘H-He is MARRIED...!’ Bandy and Boris said in their thoughts with a shock on their face.

Boris pound his chest to swallow the food and breath. “S-So, you’re married...?”

Henry closed his eyes, he pulled out his necklace from his t-shirt and hold a locket tight and took a deep breath to blink his tears. “Was!”

Bendy and Boris were confused of what the angel meant by ‘was’, so Boris asked him calmly, “What happen to her?”

Henry’s wings were trampling along with his hand. “She... She died.” Henry answered in painful voice. Henry used to hate silence, at least that’s what it felt like. If Linda hadn’t been there, Henry didn’t know what he would done, he missed her terribly. It only a year since she had died, and he’s still mourning her. He missed her smile, her gentle laugh and brave personality.

Their eyes were widened in shocked and surprised of hearing this. Boris feel sorry for him as he placed his hand on Henry’s shoulder with sad looks, “I’m very sorry, Henry.”

Henry grumbles under his breath and shakes his head, “I-It’s alright, Boris... I’m fine.” He forces to smiled for not making the wolf sad.

Henry stops himself from diving deeper into his mind. It would make things worse. He shouldn’t be crying right now. Damn these toon emotions. It was so hard to keep them bottled up when toons wore their emotions on their sleeves.

But Bendy didn’t believe him, he could tell by Henry’s voice that his throat tightens out of distress, watching the toon’s chest rise and fall fast that he wanted to cry, but he kept it hold tight not to show a moment of weakness.

Henry takes a deep breath, try to clear his thoughts and focus on something else, “The until, I met Joey when we were kids, he was so interested about my drawing and we’ve became so close. We start sharing own business together to make our dreams a reality...!”

“Hmm, interesting! What kind of business that you two are working on?”

Henry hasn’t realized what he just said, he rolls his eyes and rubbing the back of his head nervously, “It’s... A... A business that we... could make children to have fun and making the adventures to their dreams...!”

“Wow, sound wonderful!” Boris smiled with very excitement looks from his eyes, “I bet you really love kids.”

Henry nodded, “Yeah, I’ve always loved to make children happy. Which is why I work so hard to make our business great the way I’ve always dream of... And I’m proud to have a friend like him”

“Really... Is he like your best friend?” Bendy clenched his fingers around his mug, “Or is he more than a friend...?”

“Uhhh...!” Henry’s eyes widened of what Bendy said.

“Tell me Doll! What is he to ya?” Bendy starting to get impatient.

“He’s... my best friend,” Henry said it as his chair shifted in nervously.

“Are you sure?” Bendy hissed from his voice.

Henry looked away gulped and his cheeks turn red feeling embarrassing. The truth is Joey was his first kiss since they were high school studied. Joey has been trying to kiss him and have relationship when they start dating, but after that it was short live and Henry didn’t have a feeling for Joey or any spark between them, so they decided to stay friends.

“Yes, as I said! He’s my friend...!” Henry stuttered.

“LIAR!” Bendy screamed in rage and Boris flinched. Bendy stood up and hit the table by force which caused the half food fall onto the floor. The demon looks tariffing.

“I-It’s true!” Henry got panic as he tries to confident to the angry demon.

“He did kiss ya, didn’t he Doll?” Bendy giggled creepily and making his way to the frightened angel. “Or he went further than that~?”

“What?! No, never!” Henry was in shocked.

“Did he make you feel good... Did he embrace ya by his touch...” Bendy stopped in front to Henry and made his finger way across Henry’s neck, “Did he lick your neck, gave you a mark?”

“N-N... No!” Henry’s body trembling in fear.

“Or perhaps... Ya let him FUCK you?”

The sound of slapping has made a loud around the room, Bendy felt pain on his cheek as his cheek has swollen red. The angel has slapped the demon’s face...

Henry’s hand still raised in the air, as he starts crying, “H-How dare you?! How dare you say something awful like that, just because he kissed me doesn’t mean I let him *Squeak* me! And even if I did, why do you care?! It none of your *Quack* business... You know nothing about me and you’ll never understand my feeling... You’re jerk!” His painful words getting louder from poor angel.

Boris try to comfort him, but Henry moved away and start running out of the room leaving two toons in shock.

Henry wasn’t aware where he is going, but he didn’t care. He just wanted to get away from Bendy, his inky tears running down his face and cry out loud letting all sadness and pain out.

“What have you done? Are you out of your mind?!” Boris yelled at Bendy as he’s still standing in shocked, “Why did you say that to him?!”

“I... I don’t know.” Bendy still holding his cheek where Henry’s hand mark slaps him.

“Oh, you don’t know...?! What kind of excuse is that?!” Boris glared at the demon, “Don’t tell me, you just got jealous about Joey... My God, Bendy!! Stop acting like a child and get serious of what you did?! He doesn’t belong to you...”

“I know... but I can’t stand of thought by watching him with someone else, I overreacted a bit...”

“A bit...?”

“Okay a lot... I’m really sorry, Boris?!” Bendy apologized, but Boris shook his head for disagree.

“It’s not me that you should apologize to.” Boris said him and left the room feeling disappointed to his friend for behave at poor angel.

For the first time, Bendy has felt ashamed and guilt of hurting the angel feeling and made him cry. Henry was right! He doesn’t know anything about him which he shouldn’t judge him for things he doesn’t know. He needs to fix this mess and apologies he before he will lose his trust.

At That time:

Outside Benicio’s House there is a big garden full with flowers and trees without colors. Where the poor angel is sitting under the tree, his arms around his knees close to his chest and the hot ink tears fall down his eyes. He squeezed his eyes shut as they slowly began to fall down his face, his stomach twisting into knots and his breathing very irregular.

“Stupid, stupid... sob... stupid demon!” Henry whispered sniffled, he felt his heart break by sadness, pain and angry for what demon had said and he also, feel ashamed and discomfiture for things he did back there, it was so disaster...

“Doll...!”

Henry heard Bendy calling him from behind the tree.

“GO AWAY, BENDY!!!” Henry cried in anger that he didn’t want to see him.

But Bendy didn’t want to leave him, as he sit beside the tree trying to talk to him. He took a deep breath and brought up the courage to say something, “L-Look I... I know... I’ve said mean things to you and... and... ‘sigh’...!” He covers his face with his hands by feeling broke down for being rude and fool.

Bendy could hear the sods from poor Henry because of him. As he rubbed back of his head try to think of something to make the angel stop crying.

‘Bing!’

A light switches on above the demon head, an idea...

About an hour later:

When Henry had finally calmed down enough, but his tears still falling from his eyes.

Tap, Tap, Tap...

All the sudden Henry heard the tapping and music started to plays. Then he found the source of the sound! Boris is playing the clarinet and Bendy is tapping by the music. Henry recognized that song back to the studio in 1920 that song is (Bendy: Little Devil Darling).

Henry was surprised of what he sees. He remembers that part back to the studio, he uses to watch Boris play with his clarinet while Bendy and Alice were dancing and singing together. Alice has a beautiful voice when she singing and also Bendy is a great dancer and he even make the children laugh while they watching his episode.

It was really a great show, which he still loves to created toons to make children smile and be happy to watch the show. He missed his work and he wish to continue his drawing.

Henry has suddenly felt Bendy’s hand gripe his wrist and swiftly him around, led him over to the spot where they could dance with swing music, but Bendy lifted the angel up off his feet to dance in the air, Henry couldn’t help but rising heat in his cheek of being embarrassed to dance with the demon.

Bendy led and danced in circles, rotating slowly. They continued to dance even long after the music had ended, and by then Henry had finally gathered enough courage to look at Bendy, seeing the demon facing him right in front of him with guilt looks on his eyes.

Then Bendy stopping dance so he could embrace him. “I’m very sorry, my sweet Doll! I didn’t mean to yell and make ya cry for things I said.”

“But you did...!” Henry said with sad voice.

“Yes, yes I did... But...!” Bendy start to get nerves and worried that he may gone hate him. So, Bendy holding Henry close to his chest in hug tightly not letting him go to lose him at any moment, which made Henry’s face become red as tomato, “I just got angry because I couldn’t stand seeing you with someone else unstated me.”

“W-What?!” Henry was in shock of what Bendy said.

“You’re perfect to me, Doll! And I would love to have ya as my mate.”

The young animator gasped as he forced to look up, “W-Why? Why me?”

The demon cocked his head back, confused.

“Why you need me instead of any toons you could find better than me... I’m not perfect to you or anyone else. I’m outsider and I don’t belong here...” Henry looked away try to free himself from Bendy hold and turn around, walk away slowly and stopped crossed his arms to hug himself. “I don’t have anything that I could give you... I’ve nothing but pain and sadness of losing the people I have! My parents, my wife, my baby and my dreams...”

Henry tears were falling down his face. “You’ve been kind to me, you let me stay and taking care of me... ‘sob’... B-But... I-I’m scared... ‘sob’ I’m scared to lose someone... Y-You don’t deserve me... I’m Nothing.” Henry’s voice started shaking, his wings were shacking and his halo is melted along with his tears fall to the grass.

Bendy couldn’t believe what he heard! This angel has let all his sadness, pain and fear that he kept it hidden inside his heart. He realized the reason why he looks so sad when he first came. This made the demon feel sad through his heart.

Boris was heart broking by hearing the angel sad emotion, which made his tears fall down.

Bendy take steps closely to the cry angel, turn him around to face him and wrapped his arm in hug and the other hand in his hair. Bendy placed his face against Henry’s neck to nuzzled through his soft skin.

Henry’s eyes wavered in shock and his mind jumped by feeling Bendy nuzzling his neck, that made him blush harder and causing him to shudder; it took him a time to understand what was happening.

“You’re the special one, my sweeties Henry. I would lose my mind or gone crazy if I lost you.” Bendy said gently to him.

Henry’s eyes widened in shock by hear him saying not realize his heart beating hard inside his chest.

“I was all alone for so long and I want ya to stay... I don’t wanna lose ya... Please stay by my side.” Bendy was pleased, he sounds like sorrowful that may Henry will rejection him.

Henry didn’t expect to hear this, he was confused. Bendy would definitely do everything he can to convince him to stay. Henry has never felt that someone who cares about him same way his crew-works Welly, Sammy, Norman, Susie, Allison and Thomas. They were always there for him even since Linda’s funeral they never left him alone.

Henry put his face into Bendy’s chest letting tears run out freely, his grip tightening on Bendy’s shirt to let out his emotions came bursting out all at once. Then he gave in hug not used to physical affection.

Bendy could heard Henry sobbing, he rubbed the angel’s back gently and stroking his hair, “It’s okay... I’m here for you and I’ll never let anyone hurt you or lay their hand on you... I promise!” Bendy hugged him tight with a warm feeling in his chest.

That made Henry closed his eyes of tiredness and rest his head down falling asleep.

BATIM - Fallen Angel
Chapter 06

It’s been four days since Henry has arrived to the Toon World and became a Toon Angel.

At that time, Henry Stein is sitting in his room, looking through the window wander of things that has happened to him and it turn his whole world upside down! But he’s having a hard time to think of anything while his head is spinning around heavily that he couldn’t keep himself awake for a while and he also had undereye circles.

That because he didn’t get sleep and eating quiet well from a few days.

Every time he closes his eyes, he was tied up and dragged him into a dark place where it has incomprehensible writings on the wall, then he saw hands were surround him and try to reach him. He’s been tried to free himself from them but they were too strong to released him. He heard them speak trying to say something to him, but he couldn’t understand of what they were saying, their voices were obsessive, but there’re other voices are clear that he could hear...

‘Help us...’

‘We’re tripped...’

‘We’ve been deceived...’

‘I wanna go home...’

‘I don’t wanna die...’

‘Saved us...’

That’s the reason why Henry couldn’t to sleep for a second, afraid that he may see this horrible dream again and he can feel his heart raced out his chest and breath heavily, made his whole body and wings shaking.

It made him so confused to understand this! Why would he have those dream and what’s so importing about it? Then he had a thought in his mind!! Could it possible the Ink Machine is something to do with this and caused him see those dreams...? This made him had a bad feeling about this, which he needed to figure this out very soon.

But he is too frightened to do deal this alone and scared to tell Bendy and Boris about his personal problem. He just had enough trouble to helping after what he been through, he thought that he may bother and annoyed them for their own live!

But then again...

Knock... Knock...

The angel awakes from his thoughts by hearing the door knock, he stays calm and answered.

“Who is it?” Henry asked.

“It’s me, Doll!”

Henry surprised by hearing the demon voice outside the door, he quickly fixes himself up and relax, so Bendy won’t suspect.

“Come in.”

Then Bendy entering the room, he sees the angel is sitting near to window looking at him, “Hi Bendy, how’s your work today?” Henry greeted him with a fake smile on his face.

But Bendy didn’t respond back, as he start at him with unhappy from the looks on his face. The demon can see Henry’s eyes were dark behind his glasses knowing that he didn’t sleep.

“I-Is something wrong, Bendy?” Henry asked nervously from looking at Bendy’s face.

“I’ve heard from Sammy that ya’ve skipped the breakfast again.”

Henry’s eyes widened shocked, “I-I... Uhm, don’t feel quite well, but I’ll be okay, so no worries...!” Henry muttered and his hands twiddled together nervously.

Bendy approached him and sits beside him. Watching Henry’s behavior isn’t reassuring of what Bendy could tell by seeing his hands tense.

Bendy placed his hand on Henry’s chin to look at his eyes. “Are ya sick? Do ya need Boris to check on ya...?!”

“No, no, n-need too really... I-I’m fine!” Henry blush a little and shook his head try to avoid his feeling.

“NO, YA’RE NOT... I can see in your eyes that ya’re hiding something and refuse to tell! WHY can’t ya tell me?!” Bendy growled in anger, grabbed Henry’s shoulder to make him talk.

Henry isn’t facing Bendy, he closed his eyes start tearing up fear that he may pissed him off. His halo is melted and his body shaking, feeling helpless and terrified not knowing what to do? He really wants to tell him, but he couldn’t.

Bendy heard Henry sodding under his breath, realized he had terrified this poor angel. He ashamed to himself that he should be more careful about his temper... He slowly put his hand on Henry’s cheek and used his finger gently to wipe up the tear and let the angel facing him.

“I’m very sorry, Doll! I didn’t mean to scare ya... I got so angry because ya’re hurting yourself and ya’ll get sick if you keep this up.” The demon spoke softly and placed his forehead against Henry’s head, “It’s alright... Ya can tell me everything what’s been bothering ya... I’m right here to listening and make sure ya’re safe... Please, Doll! Tell me what’s wrong?” Bendy whispered close to Henry’s ear.

From the moment, Henry felt guilty for making Bendy upset and worried. How could he be stubborn with Bendy after everything what he did for him. He shaking away his fear and leaved his head up to face him, “I-I’m sorry too, Bendy... I-It’s just that I... H-Had a bad dream and its scares me...!”

Bendy looked at him surprised and also in shocked of what he heard. “Is that the reason why ya couldn’t sleep all night?” He asked.

Henry nodded and closed his eyes in fear.

“Tell me exactly what ya saw in this dream?”

“I... I-it... it was horribly...” Henry’s body start shacking, “I-I was tripped inside dark place, tied up and couldn’t move... a-and I...!” He stopped for a moment try to breath and continue, “...S-Saw Hands all over him... T-try to hold me... A-And I t-tried to get free, but t-they were too strong... T-Then I h-heard them speaking, but I-I couldn’t understand w-what they’re saying...!”

The angel eyes teary, his voice trembling in fear. “I-I still feel them coming... a-a... and...!” He suddenly stops talking quickly cover his mouth and start get panic rising inside his body and having a hard breath as he’s about to throw up...

But then Bendy hugged him closed to his chest and gently rubbed his back to calm him down.

“Shhhh... It’s okay, just calm down...!” Bendy said closed to him trying to keep him and let him breath.

Henry gripe hold Bendy’s shirt afraid to let go and try to breathe as he could. He could hear Bendy’s heart beats closed to his face, it made him calm and relax. While Bendy still continue rubbed his back, he slowly starts to breath calmly and closed his tired eyes to listen the demon heartbeat.

Then a few minutes, Bendy heard silent snore, he looks down and realized Henry has fell asleep and he is holding his shirt not letting go. Bendy giggle to himself, as he takes off Henry’s glasses careful and picked him up to placed him on his lap, then he lay Henry’s head carefully to let him rest on his chest.

While Bendy is watching this beautiful face sleep peacefully on him, he gently combed his hand through Henry’s hair and kissed his forehead. Then Bendy tilts his head back on the wall and slowly drifts to sleep.

A few hours later:

Henry woke up by the sound of purring beside him! He lifts his head up to see Bendy is sleeping with him... His face burns red from shocked and surprise of what just happened.

As he was about to stand up, the demon arms are holding him tight. Then Henry realized that he couldn’t move, so he decided to wait until Bendy wakes up. Henry looked up to see the demon face curiously, but even without his glasses, his vision could things close to his face.

He asked himself of how Bendy gets those scars?! He carefully places his finger on Bendy’s lips to touch the scar, it appears to be old wound and he also felt warm and moist on his lips. It made Henry blushed and heart beat fast when he touches him, for the first time he felt his demon lips.

Then all the sudden Henry didn’t know that Bendy’s eyes were open, looking at him with those shining black eyes.

“What’ch ya doing, Doll?” He suddenly spoke.

Henry frack out by seeing his mouth moving, he quickly moves his hand away embarrassment and hide it around his chest, “I... I-I’m very sorry... I-I didn’t mean to...!” but Henry couldn’t say more, when he felt Bendy hand on his cheek.

“Don’t be, I kind like this!” Bendy said with smile. He gently moves some of Henry’s hair from his face to look at him.

“Ya feeling better, now!” Bendy asked as Henry nodded for his question. “It tokes ya hard enough to let it all out, huh Doll!”

“Y-Yeah...!” Henry couldn’t agree more, but his hands is still shack nervously.

Bendy could see it, he’s aware that Henry is still scared and uncomfortable which he shouldn’t be left alone. He grips Henry’s chin up, “Keep that in your mind that it’s not real and it will never happen as long as I’m here for you.” He said it with a smiled and kissed his forehead.

Henry’s face blushed hard as tomato, it was very special feeling to being touch and kissed by his beloved toon.

“Say, how about I take ya out driving around the city and have a lunch together!” Bendy smiled widely down at him.

“Huh!” Henry was surprised of what Bendy said.

“Ya need to go out and see the city, ya having seen it yet when ya arrived here.”

“B-but... What about your work? You’ll get late if yo...!?” Henry couldn’t continue, because Bendy placed his finger on Henry’s lips for not saying anything.

“Nah... I’m the boss here and I can do whatever I want around here.” Bendy smirked at him.

Henry couldn’t hold his blushed, as he looked away not to facing him, “I... I don’t know what to say... B-But if it that’s what you want?! Then I’ll go...!”

As sudden Bendy hugged him and laugh happily.

“Great... Then let’s go.”

Toon Town streets:

Bendy is driving his car and while Henry looking out the window see many builds and watching toons walking at the streets shopping and hang out with their friends. He accidentally saw some of toons faces change into fear when they saw Bendy’s car, which was odd by their reaction! Is it something has to do about Bendy? What exactly is his business that he is working that made everyone is afraid of him...! Whatever it was, it isn’t reassuring.

His thoughts gone deeply not realizing that the car has stopped and the door is open for him.

“We’re here!”

Henry’s mind jumped in shock when he heard Bendy’s voice. As Henry looked out and sees the big building with write on “ToonTown Shop” He was so confused from that moment.

“Um, Bendy... Why are we here?” Henry asked.

“To gets you new clothes, of course.” Bendy said with while smile.

“W-What!!” Henry eyes were wide in shock and panicked. “But... But I...!”

“Come on, Doll! It’s gone be fun.” Bendy couldn’t wait, as he quickly grips Henry’s hand and lead him inside the shop. Henry was very shocked and embarrassing of what Bendy is going do with him?!

As they were shopping Bendy have bought for Henry lots of clothes and everything that he needs. Bendy has choose appropriate clothes for Henry, it really suits him and even he looks so handsome with this new outfit he’s wearing, which Bendy couldn’t stop staring at him...

The demon couldn’t stop smiling of seeing this beautiful angel, as the hearts fly around his head having a wonderful dream to this angel.

Henry couldn’t help by feeling heat in his cheeks. He looked away hide his face from Bendy so he wouldn’t see him blush.

As they have finish shopping, they went to the restaurant to have lunch together, while they were eating Bendy couldn’t stop start at Henry’s face which made his heart melts from the intensity of joy to have him here.

When they’re about to leave, Henry has stopped when his eyes catch the sides of drawing store. He couldn’t hold himself as he walks direction to the store and saw a lot of sketch and pencils around, he gripes the sketch book and check the papers. While he touches the page! It made him feel grateful and happy that he missed drawing and his friends at the studio.

“What’ch ya doing, Doll?”

Henry jumped off his skin and turn around to face Bendy, “Jesus Bendy, you scared me...!” He clutching his shirt try to calm his breath.

“Hehe... Sorry I couldn’t resist to see ya’r smile...!” He said with smiled, “What did ya find?”

Henry quickly place the sketch back, “N-Nothing... Let’s just go.” He walks away not facing the demon.

Bendy watch the angel walks away, wandering by his reacted!? He looked at the sketch book that Henry is holding it!? He thought about that moment, Henry loved drawing and it may be reason that made him smile when he holds it.

Then suddenly the demon smirk to himself as he got the idea...

Meanwhile as they walking to the street, Henry hasn’t said anything which made Bendy feeling awkward for not hearing any word from him. As he rubbed the back of his head trying to think of something to make him talk.

“Hey, Doll! I wanna aske ya something... Do ya like to go the bar whenever ya had a breaktime...!” Bendy asked him.

Henry was confused about Bendy’s question, as he scratches his cheek, “Well, uh... No, I don’t acutely go there, it because I... having a trouble when I get drunk...!” He said with blushed on his checks.

“Like what?” Bendy asked by looked at him surprising.

“I-It’s kind embarrassing... and I don’t like to talk about it...!”

“Aw, come on! I promise I wouldn’t laugh.” Bendy paging him to tell.

Henry sigh awkward, “When I drink one cup... ‘sigh’ I-I’ll pass out...!”

Just then Henry heard the demon giggle in his breath, which mean he is laughing at him, “YOU PROMISE THAT YOU WOULDN’T LAUGH...!” Henry shouted in anger.

“I-I... hehe... I’m sorry... it’s just that... Hehe...!” The demon couldn’t hold himself any longer as he continues laugh hard.

Henry’s face turned red out of shame, “IT’S NOT FUNNY, YOU JERK!” He yelled and start punching the demon to stop laughing at him. As Bendy couldn’t resist but he letting the angel hit him.

Then Henry stopped, he turns around and crossed his arms for being very upset.

Bendy chuckled “Okay, okay. I’m sorry, don’t be mad...!”

“That wasn’t funny...!”

“I know, I know and I shouldn’t laugh at ya... Forgive me, Doll!” Bendy couldn’t stop smiling and having a great time with him.

“Fine, I forgive...!”

“Great, then let’s go...!” Then he quickly Henry’s hand and dragged him.

“W-Where too?!” Henry asked in shocked and confused.

“To the Moon Bar, where I usually go there to have a drink.”

“Bu-But... I don’t drink...!”

“Ya don’t have too, I just want ya to meet someone in there.”

As they arrived to the Moon Bar, Bendy entering the front and greeting someone, “Howdy, Moon Man!”

The man in the bar was cleaning the glasses, he heard the demon calling him, “Well hello, Bendy! Great to see you...!” The man saw Henry stand beside Bendy. “And who is that?!”

“This is Henry, my mate!”

“I’m. Not. Your. Mate.” Henry said loudly with blushed on his face.

Moon Man’s eyes wide surprised by hearing this, then he smiled and greeting him. As the two have a sat, Moon Man looked at Henry wandering, “You must be new here. Are you from the outside the town?!” He asked.

Henry looked at him nervously which he fiddled his finger, tries to find the words. “Y-Yes, I’m from small town far away from here...!” Forced himself to smile.

“I see...!” Moon Man place his hand on his chin, thinking curious about his reaching. He could tell he is a terrible liar, which means this angel is hiding something. “Then welcome to Toon Town.” He said with greeting smile.

Henry sight of relive, but he wasn’t uncomfortable to lie... He didn’t have any choice but to lie so no one would know who he is.

“So, what can I get you, folks?” Moon Man asked.

“Whiskey for me and cola to my Doll.” Bendy order as he placed his hand on Henry’s shoulder.

After a while Bendy and Moon Man are having conversation.

“Um, excuse me, sir! Is there a bathroom here?” Henry asked Moon Man.

“Oh, yeah, it’s over there.”

“Thank you.”

As Henry went inside, Moon Man look directly at Bendy with seriously look. “Alright bud, what are you up to this time.”

“What are ya talking about it?” Bendy said as he still drinking.

“Quit fooling around, you know exactly what I’m talking about!” Moon Man said in angry voice. “You’re just gone do your dirty work to that angel guy, are you?!”

Then Bendy’s eyes turned into rage, “NEVER... EVER... SAY THAT AGAIN!” As he voices went to dark, “I’ve made my word clearly. This would never be the same and it’s gone be successful.” Then he continues drinking.

“Look Bendy, I know you’re still angry for what Alice has done to you! But that wouldn’t change everything of what you did?!”

“She had it coming and she deserves of what she did to me...” Saying in heave breathing as his forehead start melted as it about to cover his face, “She deceived my feeling and made me believe that she cares for me, but she wasn’t... I hated her and I wish I’ve never met her...!” He growled in rage and break the cup by his hand.

Moon Man saw his rage form is about to start, he quickly grips the demon’s shoulder to get him attention, “Bendy you have to calm yourself and control your anger. You don’t want the angel guy seeing you like this.” Said with worries try to calm his friend.

Bendy snap out his anger, which he realized of what he had become. He quickly stood up and walked out the bar before Henry seen his horror form. He went behind the bar where he can lay his back at the wall and tried to control his breathing and calm his heartbeat.

“Shit, Shit, SHIIIIIIIIT...!” He cursed many times in rage voice, trying to relax, taking deep breath and calm. Then he finally starts to calm down and turn back to his normal form. He wiping his head from the ink that runs down his face.

He groaned disappointed of being fool for got angry by things that Alice Angel has done to him, but the rage of pain and hatred still kept inside of him... and even from his own old past.

He has thought that no one will ever love a Monster that killed many people and take their souls and there is no possibility that this sweet angle well ever loved him back, as long he’ll always be remain a Monster.

But at that moment; a flash memory hit him by remember Henry’s lips touch his cheek, it was soft, warm and sweet kiss that he ever had, then he also remembered his soft hand touch his lips... feeling his cheeks warm up made him realized that Henry is different than Alice... He’s sweet, shy and kind person that care about everyone more than himself. Which made him so special for him and he wouldn’t let anyone take him away.

He stands up and ready to head back to the bar, but suddenly he heard footstep coming from behind. Bendy quickly pull out his gun and aim in the direction of the sound. Then he saw the familiar bloke has appeared.

“Ya’ve got to be kiddin’ me!”

BATIM - Fallen Angel
Chapter 07

“Ya’ve got to be kiddin’ me!” Bendy wasn’t please of who have just showed up.

It was Abel the Rebel Angel who is approaching toward the alleyway carrying the box full of ink pots between his wings.

“Well, well, I’ll be dammed if this isn’t... A whole box of precious, expensive, smuggling ink! Y’know I’m going to keep this.”

“Don’t ya dare to flee!” Bendy still aim the gun at the angel, to be sure he wouldn’t do anything. “Didn’t ya know Angel face? I’ve got you covered, put that box down and be a good boy!” He smirked at him.

Abel took off his cigar and breath the smoke out and smiled, “Pfff... You shouldn’t have said that! Your demise will be atrocious and painfully slow...”

As sudden Abel spread his wing and jumped in the air ready to attack, “C’mon devil boy!! Show me what the f*** are ya made of!”

“Ya did a stupid mistake ya wimpy Lil cherub, by deciding to throw hands with a DEMON!!!” Bendy quickly put his gun in his pocket and prepare himself to fight.

Meanwhile 2 minutes:

When Henry came back from bathroom, he couldn’t find Bendy in his set. He looked around with worries to find the demon, but he isn’t here!? Then he saw the bartender with a girl name Cake helping him clean up the table where Bendy was.

“E-Excuse me, sir! Have you seen Bendy.” Henry asked.

“Oh, yes! He just went outside for fresh air and he’ll be back soon.” Moon Man answered with smile.

But Henry couldn’t take it seriously, deep inside he had a feeling that something isn’t right and he needs to be sure!! So, he decided to walk out the bar to find him.

“Hey wait, bud! where are you going!” Moon Man has stopped him in time.

“I need to check on him, just to be sure he’s okay?!” Henry said with worried.

As Moon Man left his post and approach to the nervous angel, “Liston buddy, you don’t need to worry about him. He is a strong demon in Toon Town... and he’s not that easy to be taking or beat up by force without a fight.”

But Henry isn’t feeling comfortable and believed of what bartender have said!? He looked down at the floor, played with his wings nervously. Worrying if he has done something wrong that made Bendy leave him behind.

Moon Man took notice of Henry’s behaver, he placed his hand on Henry’s shoulder and said calmly with a smile, “Hey!! Don’t worry about his sorry ass, he’ll be back very soon... In a mean time how about, we sit down and have some cold drinks until he’s back. Also, you could tell me everything how you two have met?!”

Henry couldn’t think of anything but to agree with bartender. He walked back to his seats and wait for Bendy to return.

Back to fights:

Bendy and Abel are still fighting, before Bendy about to hit the angel again.

“Ya can’t even stand my fists! Ya’d better take yer harp and get back on yer cloud!”

“What... Did ya say?”

“WHAT DID YA SAY?!” Abel pinned the demon on the ground with his wings and begin to punch him very hard, “Just try to spit that out again!! How does it feel to take’em from a F*** Angel?!”

Bendy toke the hard punch as Abel still continue to hit him through his face over and over.

“Am I bad enough for ya?”

As Bendy try to fight back to get free from his wings griped. Then Abel place him against the wall.

“Heh... No more remarks now, Demon? Did I surprise ya?” Abel said to him with smirked.

“Nngh... I can only say...!” Then suddenly Bendy kicked him to his stomach, “Don’t get the F***!” As soon Abel wing realest him, “Cocky with me!” Then he punches him harder to his cheek and storm him to the ground.

As Abel still force himself to keep steady against the Demon, Abel uppercuts his fist into Bendy jaw.

“Damn y-UGH!!”

In the meantime, Henry is telling Moon Man and Cake everything about how did he ending up in Butcher Gang while they try to steal his wings and halo, but thankfully Bendy have saved him and take care of him.

As Cake is listening every detail, her eyes were sparkle by hearing this. “Wow, that was pretty cool... Mr. Benicio really showed them who’s the boss.”

“Well he sure scared them away like a coward.” Moon Man said as he is busy cleaning the cups.

“Yeah, he did... and I’m very grateful that he saved my live.” While he’s talking about Bendy, his smile slowly fainted in confused and worries, “But, there is something strangely about his behavior that puzzles me and it also keeps me worried...! He’s been acting so strangely when I get closed to him, just if I try to asked him something, he grabbed my wrist and looked at me in rage as he’s about to attack.” Henry explained as his wings trembling in fear and his halo is melting.

“Did he hurt you?” Moon Man asked in shocked from hearing Bendy’s behaver around this angel.

Henry shack his head, “N-No... H-He just freaks me out...!” As he holds his right wrist remembering where Bendy had gripe him.

“Did he force you to stay with him?!”

“S-Something like that... He keeps his eyes on me, if I try to leave...!” His voice was shacking in fear as he facing the table try to hide his tears. “I-It’s obvious that... Bendy d-doesn’t trust me at all... then why... Why would he want me to stay with him... if I’m not worth to be trust?”

Of course, Moon Man would know the reason why Bendy is doing all this! Just to be sure that Henry wouldn’t do the same as Alice has done to him before, but by the looks of Henry’s personally, he could tell he is different than any other angels he had meet, but there is something speech about him, that he is hidden something?! By his voice telling him he lied about where he came from... Which is why he needs to know if he can trust him. So, he had to see how this angel is gone do?!

“Listen buddy, I know it’s hard for you to understand his feeling... But it not his fault of what he became a different demon.”

When Henry hear this, he left his head to face the man with wandering looks on his face. “W-What do you mean?”

“It’s complicated and hard to understand how he been through in his life since his father death. He never knows anything about having friends around or how he could trust anyone included himself. That made him had a difficult to decision about his life! Mr. Boris have tried everything to help him to move forward, but he couldn’t... He just couldn’t!” Moon Man looked away feeling upset to tell the sad story.

While Henry is listening, he felt tightness in his chest from the severity of sadness and resentment over Bendy’s life. It feels pain that Bendy is hard himself, broking and lonely, which he couldn’t asked for help... The same feeling that happen to him since the time Linda’s killed and because of this, he couldn’t trust anyone and even to his friends!! Afraid that he’ll make a mistake not knowing if he made the right way.

That must be the reason why Bendy became like this?! As Henry thought to himself.

While Moon Man looked at his cleaning glass to see the angel though it. “He just needed someone to be trusted to help him realized of what he wanted and I think he wants YOU to help him.”

“W-Wha... Why me?!” Henry asked confusing.

“I don’t know for sure why he chose you, but deep inside him he may have a strange feeling that he never felt it when he first saw you.”

“You mean that he had a first crash on him?!” Cake said it as she points at Henry.

Moon Man shrugs his shoulders not quite sure of what he could say, “Maybe...!? That depends on Benicio if he had a feeling for him or not! It wouldn’t be easy for him to forget his past after what Alice Angel has done to him!?”

“M-Mr. Moon Man, you shouldn’t speak her name...!” As Cake jumped in shocked try to remind not to say it.

Henry’s eyes wide in shocked of hearing what he said as he interrupted.

“W-Wait, wait... You know something about Alice Angel!!” Henry asked with shock looking on his face, “What’s exactly Alice has done to him?! Please tell me...!” Henry try his best paging the bartender to tell him.

Bartender didn’t expect to see this angel reaction by knowing of what Alice did!! As he takes a deep breath and be done with it. “Alice Angel has deceived him by making him believe that she cares and loved him, but she made a terrible mistake by betrayed him.”

Henry’s eyes wide in shocked for not believing this, “She... She tricked him...?! No... No, no, no... This can’t be true... She wouldn’t do this... t-they were friends a-and they like each other, right!” He tried to get the right point of what he heard.

Moon Man shack his head, “You don’t get it bud, demons and angels are very difficulted to understand each other... Of course, they were great together, but things have change since Alice realized that she doesn’t have a feeling for him and she said many terrible things to him, that change his heart into dark side and became unable to fall in love again.”

This is totally out of page from Henry’s mind, how could this happened with those two, they were the best romans stars in the studio... but now everything has become a disaster! As the young animator start to get panic inside his brain and asked many questions to himself.

‘No, nononono... This can’t be possible... This shouldn’t be happening... Bendy and Alice are... Enemies!! This is insane...!!’ Henry couldn’t believe this serious matter, but then he remembers something that got his attention, ‘Wait... could this be the reason why nobody dares to talk about her!? Fearing that Bendy may do something to them... and that also explained why is everyone are scared of him.’ He isn’t sure if he could believe it.

But then the angel asked again, “W-What happen to... A-Alice? W... W-What Bendy... has do to her?!” His voice shakily.

There was silence as the bartender thought for moment, thinking of the right words to explained. “I’m not so sure what he did exactly?! All that I’ve heard he did terrible things to her and she vanish without leaving a trace.”

Henry’s body start trembling along with his wings and his breath is shaken. Then his tears were swelling in his eyes broking down for being terrified and confused that he didn’t wanted to believe all this nonsense.

Moon Man was in shocked of seeing the angel crying, “H-Henry... Are you okay?” He asked with worries.

“No...!” Henry’s voice shaking and he hugged himself tightly try to stay still.

Moon Man couldn’t think of anything but feeling guilty for what he done to make this poor angel crying. He looks scared and very upset to know the truth of what Bendy has done to Alice. Which he was so worried that Henry will may hurt himself or he may do something foolish.

As the bartender places his hand on Henry’s shoulder gently and try to calm him down. “I’m very sorry Henry... I didn’t mean to upset you for I have s-...!”

Just then Henry shack his head for not letting the man say anything, “No, no... It’s the good things that you have told me...! I’ve tried to find out why Bendy didn’t want to talk about her and why is everyone try to kept their mouth shut?!” Henry sniffed, “It all make sense now... Bendy was pretending all along like nothing has ever happened and he actually didn’t care of what he did, but it turns out he’s hurting himself and fooling everyone around him including me...!”

His ink tears flowed from his eyes by feeling pain in side his chest, “He... He didn’t care about my... F-Feeling... H-He made me believe Him... A-And I... I was just H-His...!” Then he suddenly felt his heart beating harder through his chest, as he starts to feel burning inside of his body. It was really painful and he couldn’t take it, then he fell to the floor.

“HENRY!!!” Moon Man and Cake shouted in shake of seeing the angel fell down.

Moon Man ran toward Henry to help him, as he tells Cake to get cold water. When he placed his hand on Henry’s face, he felt his temperature is higher like he had hight fever, but this is different as he starts melted.

At that moment Henry tried to hold his pain and panting harder to calm himself down, but it was really painful to handle it. He wants the pain to go away, it really hurt and even he can feel the buns though his heart.

He couldn’t take this... It hurt, really hurt... He praises for god to make it stop...!

“UGHHHHH!!” Henry screamed pain, he wrapped his arms around his chest as his body start to evaporate from the heat of ink.

“Henry...! Henry can you hear me...!” Moon Man said terrified try his best to help him. “You have calm yourself and try to breath...!”

“I... I can’t... I-It burns me up... a-and it... really h-hurts...! P-Please... please... make it... s-stop!” He’s trembling and try hardly to breath, he felt his body was on fire and it really hurt him. Then he starts to screaming, as his body start changes and heat aura surround him. Henry pushed the bartender away from him that he felt something bad is gone happen and he didn’t want him to get hurt.

Moon Man was in shocked of what Henry did, while he tries to stood up to help him! He stopped deadly when he saw something that he never expected as his face turn into horror and Cake came in with glass of water, she stopped in horror as she dripped cup of glass and screamed in fear of what she saw.

Before that:

The demon and Angel have stopped at the moment, pressed against the wall pants, huffed and sweating. They’re staring each other until then...

“Heh, we’ve at a dead point, angel face!” Bendy smirked at Abel.

“Agree... But I still want that ink!” Abel also smirked at Bendy and used his wing to point at demon’s forehead.

They stood up, wiped themselves and fix their looks.

“Fifty, fifty pally! Only cuz ya’r good at punching!” Bendy saying while fixing his bow tie.

“As ya’r good at insulting me.” Abel wiped his pants and fix his hair.

“Heh, well I’m good with that...!” While he fixes up, he felt something strange sense close by and he wasn’t sure of what was?! But then he ignores it... “Hey, let’s go have a drink, my treat.”

“Oh, thanks!” Abel said as he lights up his cigar and walk with Bendy back to Moon Man’s Bar.

While they’re close to the bar, Abel suddenly stopped as Bendy looked at him wandering. “Angel face, why did ya stop?”

“Did ya feel that?!” Abel asked as he sound worried that he knows this sense quite well.

As Bendy followed, he felt it as well and It was the same feeling he felt back in the ally, “Yeah, but what is it?” He asked confused.

“AHHHHHHH!!!!”

Out if blue, they both heard screaming came from inside the bar and it was Cake’s voice. They looked at each other and run quickly inside the bar to find out what is going on?! When they’re in... They found Moon Man and Cake at the floor terrified unable to move, then soon they saw a terrifying creature with six wings had a lot of eyes and small wings that cover it face and it had two shining gold halos above it head. It growled and whined in rage as it about to attack.

“Holy Shit!! What the hell is that?” Abel asked in shocked of what he seen.

Bendy was also in shocked of seeing this creature, but he didn’t care, all that matters to him is to find his Doll Henry safely. But then he saw Henry’s glasses on the floor close to that creature, his eyes widened in fear and panic, realizing who this is!

“H-Henry!!”

That’s the only word that came out demon’s mouth. It is Henry or at least what Bendy thought. He stared at his angel that turns into a beast, which he felt for the first-time tendrils of fear wrap around his heart.

The angel Abel eyes widened couldn’t believe of what he saw with his own eyes! It felt familiar emotions ran through his mind. This angel could also, had type of power to transform into a seraph just like him.

‘Shit…Oh, shit…!’ Abel could really feel the panic start to settle in now. How could this possible? Who is this guy or what exactly is he?!

Bendy’s about to make his move to save Henry, but Abel griped him with his big wings and cover his mouth with his hands. So, with that, they quickly dashed behind the table to take cover, as also Moon Man and Cake did the same too, hoping the seraph didn’t see them before something terrible happened.

The angel shushed him for not making a sound. “Don’t do any foolish sudden move, he’ll attack if he sees us...!” Abel whispered closely to Bendy’s horn.

Bendy remove Abel’s hand from his mouth, “So, we’re gone just hidden here and doing nothing to help him!?” He growled deeper.

“He’s unconscious not realized what he’s doing and he can’t control this form. It would be very difficult for a new creator to controls this power!” Abel explained.

“N-New Creator...! How can you tell he is new?” Bendy asked as his ink dripped down from his forehead.

Abel looked away not facing Bendy, “Because I know this feeling so well, I had it for so long when I came to this world...! He’s scared and terrified not knowing what he is doing?!” Then he stood up behind the table to look closely at the beast and watching his movement.

Henry Seraph huffed heavily, that he’s having hard to breath and start cough with ink came out of his mouth, his creepy eyes were leaking with ink and then he body starts shivering. Which is not good as he can tell?

“Shit, this doesn’t look good! We have to stop him before he hurt himself more.” Abel said with worried voice.

“What will happen to him if he gets weak?”

“It will cause damage to his mind and he memories. He wouldn’t be unable to remember anything of who he was and his emotion would be nothing but... Emptiness...!!” Abel last word is the worst part that he didn’t like to say it.

Bendy was worried by hearing this, he knows Abel wouldn’t lie. So, have to trust him for the sake of saving his angel.

“How are we gone stop him, if we do wanna hurt him?!” Bendy asked hoping to get the good answer.

“We need to cool him down. Water is the only things that could help him.” Abel said.

“Oh shit, this wouldn’t be so easy to cool him off! He’s too big and he could easily attack us if we... ‘Bing’...” Just the suddenly a light switches on above his head, “I had an idea, try to distract him whatever ya can...!”

“What!?”

“Trust me on this, just keep him distract until I return... I wouldn’t let him suffer... Never!” As Bendy looked behind to be sure Henry didn’t see him, then he ran fast to the exit door leaving Abel handling the seraph, but he knows Benicio wouldn’t leave him and the others behind in this situation.

As Henry is about to reach to the table where Moon Man and Cake are hiding. He raised his fist up to smash the table, but suddenly a piece of wood hit his face caused him a pain, then he saw an angel standing there looking at him in anger.

“Hey ugly! Ya wanna pick a fight with someone... Try Me!” Abel used his wings as fist and it has silver rind fist had writing in the middle, a word this ‘MERCY’ between finger wings.

Henry hiss in his breath while he looked at the angel confusing, but then he starts attack! Abel dodge his every move and used his ring fist to punch him arms and wings to make him weak and unable to move, but then out of blue!! The seraph captor him with his hand tight that he wouldn’t escaped. Abel tried his best to relist himself from his gripe, but Henry seraph hold was too strong to get free.

Just as Henry stopped moving and looked closely at Abel’s face with all his creepy eyes are staring at this angel wandering. Abel was confused the way the beast looking at him, like he actually knows him and he didn’t want to hurt him?!

Then Abel suddenly heard a weak wailing through Henry’s throat and seeing tears leaking down his face as his eyes are cover with wings...! Then he heard weak whisper as he trying to tell him something.

“S-S... Sorr-yyy!!!”

The angel was in shocked and confused of what just happen right in front of him. Why is he crying? And what is he apologize for?

“HEY DOLLY!!”

The shouting draw Henry attention to look behind and see Bendy standing there holding something shine in his hands that Henry couldn’t see what is was?!

Bendy is holding a fire hose and before he turns it on, “Bath Time, Hen!!” Then he waters at Henry’s face.

Henry dropped Abel and fell to the floor. Bendy still continue sprayed the water at Henry’s body to cool him down and then it happens!! His body start shrinking as the ink melted down and the heat steam splatters the place.

Until it was enough, Bendy turn off the hose to see what happened? Then he saw Henry laying on the floor covered with ink, not moving. Bendy quickly ran to him and dig him out of thick ink, when he rushed him?! Bendy took his angel into his arms and wipes the ink off his beautiful face unconscious form to see if he’s okay...

“Henry... Henry babe... Can ya hear me?!”

There is no respond, then he notes Henry’s chest isn’t moving... Means his angel isn’t breathing. Bendy’s eyes flashed red in shocked and fear.

“Shit... Holly shit... He’s not breathing!! HE’S NOT BREATHING!!” Bendy yelled in panic and worrying not knowing what to do?

Abel rushed towards them and check Henry’s pulse. “His heart still beat, he needs CPR... Fast!!”

Bendy was getting more and more worrying in his chest, he has to move fast to help Henry to breath, yeah... Mouth to mouth.

The demon quickly lay Henry down and start to push his chest to get the ink out of his lungs and pleased his mouth to Henry’s mouth to give him the air. The others as Moon Man and Cake were worried watching Bendy doing his best to save him.

“C’mon Doll, Breath!!” He pleaded him as he push him chest again. “Please... Please, Wake up!! Wake Up...!!”

Then suddenly, Henry coughed up the ink and turn his side to cough more ink until his lunge is clear.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief to see the angel is breathing. Bendy was more relief then the others, he was happy and glad to see his angel alive...

“W-Wha...W!!!” Henry was in shock and confused not knowing what just happen to him? His sights are blur, but he could see Bendy had tears in his eyes and smiled felicity at him.

Then Bendy immediately hugged him close to his chest where his heart is, “Oh, thank god... Thank god ya’re alive...!” He voice was shaking, but he had joy and pleased voice of seeing his sweet angel alive.

Henry can’t remember how it happened to him when he sudden felt pain and burning inside him! Everything turn black and his mind gone wild not knowing what he was doing. The only things he could remember was hearing scream of fear, like they have seen something scary and dangers.

It was him?

He is the one who terrified his friends and try to hurt them without knowing he done it.

Bendy thought he heard Henry sods and mumbling things to himself.

“I-I... I did this...!”

“What?” Bendy looked down at Henry confused of what he said.

Tears fell from Henry’s eyes with fear and ashamed. “I-It was... me! I did this... I-I don’t know how this happened... A-All I know I almost killed Moon Man... a-and... that Angel guy... ‘sod’ I-I’m so sorry, Bendy... I-I didn’t mean...!!”

But Bendy interrupted by placing him finger over Henry’s lip to shush him, “Shhhh, it’s okay Doll. I know ya didn’t mean this... None of this is yar fault, it was mine... Because I...!”

Bendy slowly reached his hand to Henry’s face settled against his cheek, “I was afraid to trust anyone and made the same mistake again... But ya are so... Different than other toons...!” Then he holds him back to his chest and stroking his angel’s hair gently, “I’m very sorry for leaving ya, but I’m here... I’m here for ya and I will not leave ya again, I promise.”

While Henry is listening to Bendy expressions, his voice was muffled for being upset and guilty for letting this happen and thought he have lost him.

After what he heard about his past and done terrible things to Alice Angel... It made Henry realized that Bendy still have good side within him and he want to have a chance to find the true meaning of friendship and love.

So, Henry buried his face into Bendy’s chest and closed his eyes to relaxes. Letting all his feeling close to his demon heart beats to forget what he has done.

Moon Man smiled gladly along with Cake for see Benicio has finally found his true feeling of trust.

As for Abel was surprised and awkward by watching the demon hugged this unknown angel not knowing who he is? He just couldn’t believe what he saw? The Mob Boss... The Demon Face... is having relationship with the Angel.

That’s totally unreasonable.

When and How??

Then he saw something shining under the thick ink, while he picked up!! It reviewing a golden necklace with two wedding rings and a locket. Abel had his thought that this could belong to that unknown angel. He quickly hided inside his pocket, so he able to find any information about him...

BATIM - Fallen Angel
Chapter 08

Back to Benicio House:

Benicio speed up home carrying Henry Angel in his arms to find Boris the wolf doctor to treat him. Henry was very exhausted and shacking after what had happened at Bar!

Sooner later, Boris is in Henry’s room, examines Henry while he’s sleeping and Benicio is outside the room lay his back at the wall waiting to let Boris do his work without disturbing. Also, Sammy stand right beside his boss, waiting for any orders he asked?

It’s been half an hour of waiting and Boris hasn’t come out yet! That made the demon’s right feet tapping fast and growl in his breaths, worrying that something isn’t right and he can’t wait any longer.

Then Sammy break the silence, “He’s gone be alright, My Lord! Mr. Boris is doing everything he could to help him...!”

“Grrrr, What the f***k is taking him that long to check on him? I need to see him, NOW!!” Bendy said in rage by losing his patience.

“Please My Lord, you needed to calm down! I understand you’re worried about him, but getting angry wouldn’t help Mr. Boris to focus on his work...!” Sammy try his best keep his Lord calm until Boris comes out.

Then it finally came, the door has opened and Boris came out quietly, closed the door behind him and sight heavenly with worried looks on his face.

“What took ya hell so long?” Bendy growl loudly at Boris face.

“Shhh, keep your voice down... You don’t want to wake him up.” Boris quickly shushed him to low his voice.

Bendy breath slowly to cool his nerves and when he calms he start asking, “Okay... ‘sigh’ I’m calm... How’s he now?!”

“He’s very exhausted, I gave him antibiotics to relieve his fever, but he’s gone be okay.” Boris explained.

“I wanna see him...!” Bendy was about to go in, but Boris stopped him.

“He needs rest, you can see him in the morning...!”

But Bendy didn’t care of what the wolf said or even listen. He pushed Boris aside to go in and see his angel.

“Bendy...!” Boris said quietly while he tries to stop him, but then Sammy interfere.

“Don’t bother yourself Mr. Boris... He wouldn’t listen to you, even if you try! Come on, let’s leave him along, he’ll come around.” Sammy said calmly but with worried voice.

While the two toons walked in hole way.

Boris growled in his breath for being angry at Bendy. “This is insane, he’s totally lost his mind! Poor Henry... He has gone through difficult circumstances and now his health in getting more complicated.” He hit his fist at the wall to let his anger out. “How could he let this happen to Henry? If he still continues of hurting him, I would never forgive him.”

Boris is very upset and felt guilt for letting Bendy do this to Henry!! Henry didn’t deserve any of this... He’s a good person with honestly, gentle and kind heart.

How could Benicio do this to him, as Boris knowbies that Bendy wouldn’t stop try until this poor angel will love him. The demon is gone make terrible mistakes of hurting Henry and he has to stop him before he’ll do the mistake again.

Sammy was so concern about Henry health and he’s gladly knowing he is gone be okay...! Wait... Why would he care? He never cares about everyone except his Lord and Mr. Boris... That is strange!!

From that time, when he first saw Henry Angel? He felt strangle of being happy and relief to see someone is close to him... But... Who is this Henry guy and why his face looks so familiar!?

Then he sudden felt shocking headache painful that made him fell down his kneel.

Boris was in shocked of what happen to him. He quickly approaches him and try to help him.

“Sammy... Sammy what wrong?”

Sammy’s shoulders rose and fell with heavy breath, the ink ran down his arms and yelled in pain.

“The sheep... The sheep is here...!”

“What?! What sheep?” Boris asked confused.

“The one with forbidden name! The one who.... Ghhhhh... No, no, he will arise and cleaned the world of is unbelievers!”

“Sammy...! What’s happening to you?!” Boris’s eyes were wide in shocked.

“SAMMY!”

Sammy suddenly heard the unknown voice calling him... Through his mind! Sammy sees the dark figure standing in front of him looking at him with fear and terror through his glowing eyes.

“Sammy, listen to me... I’ll find away to get us back...!” The dark figure said to him calmly, “It’s alright, Sammy. Whatever that happiness, I won’t leave you to fight along...!”

“WHO ARE YOUUUU...!!” Sammy growled in fear and hit his head hardly to make it stop.

“Sammy, what’s has got into you? Snap out of it!!” Boris try his best to make him stop hurting himself.

Then it’s happened, Sammy start to remember something clearly, he sees the man is sitting on his desk sketch his first creation Bendy, the man turns his head to looked at him with sad smile on him.

“Sammy!! Hey buddy, how’s your work going...!”

“Henry... Henry Stein... is that you!” Sammy said out loud.

“Henry... Stein!!” Boris was surprised of hearing this.

“Y-You came to save us... You’re gone set us Free from the heel of the slave we left to die.” The inkling eyes tears up

“W-What!!” Boris start to panic and unbelievably of what Sammy have just said.

“No, no, NO! Stop heling him! Don’t give him hope... Leave him suffer... Ghhhhhh...!” Sammy’s voice has change as someone taking over his mind, his hands tore at his mask face and force himself to fight. “N-NO! He’ll never... STOOOOP...!”

Sammy moaned and panted, then his hands and body stopped trampling and left his head up to face the wolf. “Mr. Boris... Wha... What’s just happening?”

Boris was completely in shock and wander of what Sammy have just said! “Sammy... Are you okay?”

“Huh!!” Sammy’s voice sound confusing.

Boris laid his head on Sammy’s shoulder, “Don’t you remember what you just did?” He’s calmly asked him tried to get the answer from him.

“I-I don’t know... what your talking about?” Sammy said wandering.

“Sammy, your mind got twisted and start yelling by saying weird things... Try to remember.” Boris try to help him and to get the answered.

Sammy placed his hand on his head, “I-I... I felt something strangely over Henry... As I recognize his face, his voice, his soul... It’s Like... I have known him somewhere.”

“And you’ve said his last name, Stein... Henry Stein... Does it ring any bell?!”

Sammy looked at him in shocked and freak out of hearing the name. “Stein... Stein...!”

“Do you know who he is?!”

Sammy’s tried his best to remember anything about Henry... But he shakes his head for feeling disappointed and sad that he can’t remember. It seems his memories has gone blocked out again.

“I’m so sorry Mr. Boris... It appears my mind has gone block again and I-I...!” Sammy mumbled that he thought it useless to give him any explanation of what he has lost. “...I better get back to work... My Lord wouldn’t be pleased if I undone work.”

“Sammy wait...!” Boris tried to stop him, but Sammy has walked away leaving the wolf in confusion.

Boris thought deeply of what Sammy is trying to say, “What the hell has just happened?! Sammy has suddenly changed into different person and he start say many things that he could remember. What exactly is he meant by ‘Saving Us’... Who is he talking to?”

Boris has known Sammy for long time when he came to serve Benicio as he called him ‘My Lord’. He found out Sammy is having block memories by some kinda dark forced that made him lose his own memory not knowing who he was or where did he come from?! Whenever he tried to remember! He gets painful headache and says weird things not realized of what he said.

It all make since when Henry showed up, which mean there’s something fishy going on and he need to keep an eye on Henry incase if something goes wrong and he also needs to tell Benicio about this sooner.

The next day:

At noon, Benicio has return home from business. He walked up the stairs to second floor to check on his angel, when he arrived? He suddenly heard strange noises coming from Henry’s room. The demon quickly opens the door and seen the clothes, blankets and pillows on the floor.

Bendy in shocked of what he seen. The room is messy that he couldn’t walk in.

What is happening here and where is his Doll.

“Hen... Are ya here?” He calling out for him, but no respond. He steps right in and looked around the to find him, then he saw him in the bathroom at the floor as he searching.

“Babe, what are ya doing?” Bendy asked confused.

When Henry heard him, he turns around to face him with tears on his eyes.

Bendy was in shocked when he saw his angel crying, “Hen, Doll... What’s happening? Why are ya crying?”

“I-I can’t find it...!” Then Henry finally specks, his halo’s melting and his voice gets weaker. It seems he have been crying in hours.

“Finding, what?”

“M-My necklace... my golden necklace... that’s has two rings and locker...!?” Henry cried sadly at his demon.

Bendy didn’t get what he just said, but then he remembers. Whenever Henry got upset, he saw him holds his pendant with his hand tightly. Its mast be very importing to him, which explained why he tried to find it and he also, could see Henry’s room lot of messy that he may have search for it all morning.

Henry cried hardly, his inky tears fell down his cheek. Which Bendy hates to see his beautiful angel cry, it made him upset to let that happened.

The demon lay his knelt on the floor and tried hard to calm the shaking and crying angel. “Shhhh... It’s okay babe, don’t cry...!” He placed his hand to wipes off Henry’s tears.

“P-Please... Please Bendy... ‘sod’ Help me to find it... I-It’s the only things that I had from her... A-And I don’t wanna to lose it... Please... I’m begging you...!” Then Henry start crying as he lay his head at Bendy’s chest, holding his shirt and pleased him to help.

“Okay, okay, just calm down... Shhhh.” Bendy hugged Henry to his chest and rube his back gently to calm him down. “I’ll order the servants to search around the house every single place nonstop, until they find it...” He looked down at his angel with hope in his eyes. “...and don’t worry, my Doll. I’ll find your necklace very soon. I promise.”

Benicio helping Henry stand up and walk out the bathroom to let him sit to Blanco window and then he sits beside him.

While Henry try to wipe off his tears to stop himself from crying, but he couldn’t. He felt very embarrassed that he may be disturbed Bendy by his crying.

But Bendy notices that his angel is trying to stop himself from cry. The demon removes Henry’s glasses from his face to wipe off his inky tears. Then he tokes Henry’s hand to kiss it and wipe his face to feel his soft touch.

“Oh Doll, it really breaks my heart to seeing ya cry with this beautiful face...!” Bendy approached his lips to kiss Henry’s chin and his eyes, “...No need to feel embarrassed or afraid to hide ya’r sadness from me. I accept of what ya are and I’ll do everything in my power, to make ya happy again...”

Henry just sit silence looking at Bendy’s red sparkle eyes to see the faith in him. The animator cheeks rose by feeling heat inside him, he didn’t know how he could respond back.

Henry griped Bendy’s hands and hold them closed to his heart and let his tears run free to feel his warm hands.

Bendy blush hardly in shock of what Henry did, his heart beating fast and felt heat over his body... As Bandy is about say a word...

Knock, knock...

Out of blurr, they two toons heard door knock, as Bendy got angry that someone has interrupted this sweet moment.

“Who. Is. It...!” Bendy say in dark rage.

Then the door got open and turns out to be Sammy who enter, “M-My apologia, My Lord... B-But there is someone wants to see you immediately...!”

“I’m busy, I don’t have time with this shit.... Kick him out.”

“I-I have tried, My Lord... but he insists to speak with you...!”

Bendy growled in anger, that someone has spoil this moment... Whoever he is and dear to interrupt! He is dead meat.

“Fine... Take him to my office, I’ll handle this piece of trach.”

Sammy nodded to him and immediately leave the room.

Then Bendy turn to looked at Henry with disappointed looks on his face. “Sorry Doll... Sammy is gone help ya search ya’r necklace... Just as soon I done with that guy, I’ll help out.”

Henry closed his eyes feeling so disappointment that Bendy wouldn’t help him to find his necklace, but he can’t blame him, so he nodded slowly and respects his working conditions.

Benicio kissed Henry’s forehead and walk out the room, in hallway he got very angry from that arriver, clenching his hands into fist while dark dangerous aura surrounds him. As he approached to his office! He opens the door straight up facing who is in front of him, he took notice a figure standing through the window smoking.

Bendy’s eyes were wide surprised for knowing who he was. “Ya...!”

It turns out to be Abel the Angel... As Bendy never expected to see the angel come to his home.

“What the f*** are ya doing here?” Bendy asked as his voice full with anger.

“Well, hello to ya too Devil Boy!” Abel turn around breath the smoke out with a smirked on his face, “Have I been disturbance ya?!”

Now that’s really disrespectful, which made Bendy growled in rage as his forehead start melted over his face.

Abel looked at him calmly without fear, while he continues smoke his cigar, he didn’t care of what Benicio will do to him, so he stood up.

“Uh oh, I think I did...Hehe...” Abel laughed at him.

“Stop with this bullshit, Angel face. Why are ya here?” Bendy asked, trying to keeps his nerves cool.

Abel has just stop laughed as he put his right hand inside his pocket and pulled out something shine in his hand. “This is why.”

Bendy’s eyes wild in shocked of what he saw, “My Doll’s Necklace...!” He said loudly then he looked at the angel in rage, “Ya son of a...!”

“First of, I didn’t steal it... Secondly, I came here to retune it without force.” Abel said calmly without threat.

As Bendy was got say things stood silently, he places his hand on his head and sight heavily to cool out, “Fine... Fine...!” He finally said, then he reaches out his hand to handed him the necklace. “Give it to me.”

“Nope!” Abel respond as he pulls the necklace away.

“WHAT!!!!” Bendy yelled in shocked.

“I would like to give this to him personally.” Abel said as he looked at the necklace.

Benicio growl escaped through his throat, “And for what reason ya wanna give this to him.” He asked as he ain’t pleased of his request.

“Ah, nothing special... I just want to meet him, that’s all!” Abel smirked while he still stair at the necklace in his hand.

Benicio star at him with untrusting looks and he also, didn’t like him be closed to his Doll... Wait, there is something fishy about his reaction and it looks familiar then he remembers and realized of what it was?!

“Wait a sac, ya ain’t here just to return the necklace to him?!” Bendy asked as he suspicious from his act. “Ya’r here to know the truth about his personal reality, isn’t it...!”

As Abel’s eyes were wide open in shocked, then he looked at Bendy with anger, “WHAT, NO!! I have nothing to accused him and this ain’t true...!”

“Oh, yes, it is... and I could tell through yar eyes...!” Bendy didn’t believe any of his words as he pointing his finger direction to his face, “It the same look happened once when ya asked me to company ya too yar Former Studio to steal the ink and also to search for any information about ya past project, remember!”

Abel stood silently, knowing that Benicio will figures out soon and he also know him to well. They’ve been enemies for so long... Or as it looks like from behind everyone back, they are good friends.

As Abel place his hand on his head and sight, “Okay, ya got me... The truth is! I had this strange feeling about this new angel of ya’rs... His power is quite unique and strong then any of us.”

Bendy didn’t get what Abel is saying. “What exactly are ya trying to say?”

As Abel explained to him, “Look, it’s obvious we both know when the new creatures arrived to this world, they would know nothing about their ability or what they can do... it’s difficult for them to learn on their own.”

Benicio nodded, then he asked again. “Okay so, what’s this has to do with him?”

“Not so sure! But it all happened from the Bar, I’ve sensed the power!! It wasn’t anything that I’ve ever felt... His energy seems so powerful from both of us and he’s definitely different than any newborn toons could have it, as if the God give this such a power to someone who’s worth it...!”

The demon went quiet, his heart beating fast and try control his breath. He starts to get nervous as his forehead start leaking, “I-Is there any way that we can stop it...!” He asked, worrying about his Doll.

Abel shack his head, “It’s not that easy, bud. It’ll cause him lot of pain and get weaker whenever he used it again... it causes brain damage, which’s why he needs to be careful and learn how to use it.”

“So, what do ya suggest then?” Bendy asked hopping to get right answer.

“He needs to be watch and keep him away from anyone, just to be sure he would do any harm to anyone around him.”

“Ya mean lock him up.” Bendy said with angry voice.

“No... I mean... well, I mean is...!” Abel try say something, but Bendy start shout at him...

“Oh Yeah, Ya Just Want Him To Be Lock Up Like An Animal...” He let all his rage out then his eyes became red, “There is no way that I would EVER let that happened, he would never hurt anyone, more then he cares about himself. This ain’t work to help him and I personally I won’t allow it. Ya better not lay yar hand on him ‘cause if ya did... I’ll hunt ya down and kill ya... YA HEAR ME!”

Abel couldn’t believe of what he heard. It really surprised him for the first time he sees the Mod Boss demon this behavior for a long time. Is this for real, is he seriously having a feeling from the new angel. Is he gone crazy or is he drunk...?

“Are ya completely insane... Didn’t ya see what he has done and what he became!! He’s not normal toon, how can ya possibly be nice to him after what had done and Why do ya care about him.”

“It ‘cause I trust him...!” Bendy gave him the answer.

“Really... What make ya so sure he wouldn’t do it? Ya don’t know nothing about him or what he could do?”

“Ya maybe right I don’t... and I also don’t know the reason why he’s here and to proof that he’s not evil, which is why I’ve tried everything to know more about him.”

Abel unreassuringly to believe him, “And if he was!”

“He’ll NEVER be, ya see!!!” As Bendy answered him face to face, crossed his arms to proof himself that he is right and Abel was wrong.

Then they suddenly heard yelling and sound of footsteps running around came from the outside office, the two toons are confused of what’s going on outside?

The door suddenly slides open, Boris and Sammy came in panting for air and they had panic looks on their face, which of course. We wouldn’t see Sammy’s face as he still had the mask on.

“What happened to ya too and what’s with all that noise outside?” Bendy asked with worries.

Boris try to slow his breath to speak, “I-I... It... It’s Henry...!”

Beninic’s eyes widened in horror, “What... What happened to him?”

But Boris couldn’t speak by feeling his throat dry and couldn’t breathe along with Sammy that he full on the floor out of tiredness.

“SPEAK UP YA FOOLS, WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?” Benicio yelled at them to get the answer.

The Sammy start to say he has to say. “H-He....He’s gone...!”

That’s totally made Benicio and Abel get shock and panicked. They couldn’t believe this is happening and why did Henry run out the house without telling anyone where he was goes?

“Henry... No...!” Bendy whispered through his breath. His heart beating fast and small drops of ink fell from his head, afraid he may get hurt and lost.

They need to find him fast before anything bad happens to him.

BATIM - Fallen Angel
Chapter 09

Henry was running at the street trying to get to the Moon Bar where he and Bendy went there yesterday...

He stopped for minute to catch his breath. He leaned his back at the wall try to calm down, as his inky tears start falling from his eyes, “S-Stop it... Get in together Henry...!” He whispered to himself as he tries to wipe off his tears. “How could I let happen... I was so stupid... I-I... Should have known sooner!” He was scared and worried that he wouldn’t make it to the bar soon before it’s open.

But the real problem is...

He’s lost! He wasn’t faces of where he was going, while he looked around, he doesn’t remember where the bar is and doesn’t know where he is now? As he realized how the ToonWorld is too big to move around like his real world and it would be difficult to find his way back to Bendy’s house.

It made his heartbeat fast in his chest with fear, not knowing what to do. He shouldn’t left the house, but he didn’t have a choice to wait for Boris and Sammy to come back, and he also couldn’t hold his weak sense back around everyone.

“T-There is no way... I... I could make it there...!” He mumbles, as he takes deep breath and sighs. “But I have to try...!” Then he stood up and start walking fast to find the bar before it’s gotten dark.

At that time:

While the toons are walking out in the streets, they suddenly heard loud roar coming from their path... They were shocked by seeing a car speeding fast, they immediately got out of the way before it hit them. The car sped forward made it jump in the air and bomb landing still driving nonstop.

Benicio was driving insane, and he didn’t care who stands in his way, from his left seat Abel is holding himself tight in his seat with arms and wings and from back seat where Boris and Sammy tried their best to hold up by dear life or they’ll gone get killed by this crazy demon.

“BENICIO, SLOW DOWN...!” Abel yelled loudly fear for his life.

“NONE UNTIL I FIND MY DOLL...!” Benicio yelled in rage showing his sharp tooth and his eyes burning bloody red and dark forest surrounding him.

“We’re gone die... We’re gone DIE...!” Sammy mumbled in fear as his body started melting and his face mask almost fell, but he kept holding it with his hand.

“Oh, God, Lord, Jesus... Please, Save Us!!” Boris cried to himself, pressed his hands together close to his chest and prayed to stay alive.

‘Dolly, where are ya? Please be safe...!’ Benicio said in his thoughts worrying that his sweet angel may have lost, hurt or worst.

Benicio turns his car speed forward to the other street, which cause the toons walking on the street run away screaming and panic for their life. Then he suddenly rowed the car harder to stopped at the walking pass near to the public park.

The demon immediately stepped out of his car and looked around if he could find his missing angel. While the others crawling out the car shivered with fear and laid on the ground thanking god for their salvation.

Boris breath harder as he placed his hand on his chest to calm his heartbeat and breath, while poor Sammy try to cool his body as its still melting, and as Able fell on his knees try to breath and calm his heartbeat with all these misfortunes that he got himself into.

As he asked himself ‘Why did I agree to go with him to find this angel?!’

Honestly... He doesn’t know why in the first place!! He just had this strange feeling that he wants to help this mysteries angel and he also want to know everything about him... It’s sounds crazy and weird, but he needed too.

“Quick fooling around ya idiots and get yar ass in here, NOW!!!” Bendy shouted at them that he couldn’t wait for them to recover from their breakdown. As they finally got up and breath heavily, “Okay, let’s separate up, Boris ya take the park, Sammy ya search at the other side the street and Abel yar at the air, and I’ll search ever ally... In case any of ya finds him meet as at Moon Bar, immediately.”

Boris and Sammy nodded him, and they began to run off searching for Henry.

And Benicio is about to move, Able has stopped him by placing his hand on Bendy’s shoulder, “Bonicio wait, before ya find him, ya need to be careful in case if it’s happened again!! It wouldn’t be that easy to stop him.”

“Like HELL I’ll let this happen to him...” Benicio said in anger, but instead he said back calmly without showing his face to the angel, “...Just help me to find him and bring him home safely!” He said in a worried voice, then he ran off to begin his search for Henry.

Able have may not see it but he could tell from his voice that he is very depressed not in a mood to be arguing with him... Which surprised him, he had never seen Benicio behavior start to change since he’s with that ‘Mysterios Angel’. He’s also concerned about him and noticed that he wouldn’t stop until he found him.

What’s with this angel and what’s so special about him? Well, he’ll figure this out when he finds him.

By that time, while Henry is still trying to find his way to the Moon Bar, he asked some toons to tell him the place, but none of them seems to know what it was or where it is?! It’s very difficult to him to know where he was going, He’s totally lost... not knowing where he is now or how he can go back to Bendy’s home.

While he walks at the streets near the building feeling eyes on him, whispering to him which made him feel uncomfortable from the way he’s looking at him. What’s wrong with them?! It’s like they haven’t see the angel walking around them. What’s with them?!

Suddenly, he felt dizzy as he was about to fall but thankfully that he managed hold himself at the street light pole, he stopped for a moment to breath and stay still.

The animated realized that he hadn’t eat anything from yesterday and breakfast. “This is very bad, I shouldn’t have left the house with an empty stomach, but I was so desperate of losing my necklace...!” Henry said to himself as he holds a hand tightly to his chest clenching the cloth and felt the inky tears fall from his eyes.

As soon he finds a street bench to sit on and rest for a bit.

Thoughts fill his mind, what would happen if Bendy finds out that he left the house without telling him? Would he get angry? yelled at him or worse... Abandon him. He probably busies himself at work, and he may get angry if he leaves the house, but its probably the best. He can’t stay here that long; he needs to get back to his world.

His co-workers in the studio are probably looking for him, including his friend Joey Drew, he might be worried sick since he was the only person saw him drowning through the ink.

Which of course, for Joey needs to be careful around Wally Franks with his big mouth, if he finds out about what happen to him and how he disappears. He’ll spread the news go screaming crazy, telling everyone in the studio of what happened to him, and of course Joey will let that happen. As he could keep Wally’s mouth shut and cover things up so to keep the company stable, until he figures how he could fix this mess.

Henry couldn’t think of anything but feeling exhaustion, he felt his eyelids were heavy, the poor angel couldn’t keep his eyes open. He can’t rest now, he needs to keep looking, but he was too weak to stand up. “Maybe, it wouldn’t hurt if I rest a little...” He thought.

So, he laid his head on the back of a bench and closed his eyes to rest. It wasn’t long before Henry had fallen asleep.

From time one:

It’s cold... So cold, my whole body is freezing... and it hurts...

Darkness... Everywhere... I can’t move...

I-I... I can’t... I can’t breathe...

Bendy... P-Please... H... Help me...

I-I’m... I’m scared...

“Hey...!”

“Hey dear.... Wake up!”

Henry woke up yelped in shock, feeling cold ink running down his face and his golden halo melt down above him, he placed his head over his chest feeling his heartbeat rise, breaths fast.

“It’s just a dream... It’s just a dream...!” He said repeatedly try to be sure he’s awake, but no matter how hard he tries, he wouldn’t know if it was a dream.

He’s having troble breathing which he couldn’t controll to calm his nerves and trying to recover from the shock.

“Sweety, calm down! Take a deep breath,” Someone instructed him, he tried, but he felt like out of air. The person sat beside him and demonstrated the deep breaths.

Henry mirrors his actions, inhaling through his nose and exhaling through his mouth. He finally got a lot of air and let go of his breath a bit early.

“Oh, thank goodness, a-are you okay?” There is that voice again.

“Uh...Wh... What?!” Henry was surprised when he heard a person talked to him! He didn’t notice that someone is standing right next to him and felt a hand placed on his shoulder trying to comfort his distress.

When he got his size clear, he saw a beautiful toon lady with long blond hair, pink cheeks, and heart eyes looking at him. She looked at him with worries that he might be hurt or sick, so she is trying to help him.

“It okay dear, just clam down, you’re having a bad dream.” She spoke.

Henry placed his hands on his face to wipe out his ink and breath calmly.

“I-I’m sorry... I didn’t realize I’ll end up sleeping here... I suddenly got tired from running and then I... ‘sigh’...!” Henry felt ashamed in front of her. “I’m sorry... I-I should be gone...!” As he was about to stand on his feet, he felt his head spinning, as he almost falls, but the lady manages to catch him in time.

“Oh, goodness! You need to be careful... Don’t push yourself dear! You probably hadn’t eaten anything for a while...!” Then she helped to sit him back on the bench carefully, “Wait here, I’ll be right back!”

She quickly ran foreword inside the bakery store and brought back a cup of orange juice and plate of cookies. “Here, drink some juice. It will help you relieve the dizziness.”

Henry couldn’t wait any longer, as he takes the cup from her and drunk it fast, he sure was very thirsty and hungry.

“Woah, woah, drink slowly dear or you’ll choke...!” The lady said try to calm him down.

When Henry finished the juice, he let out a sigh heavily and relieve to have a sweet taste in his mouth.

“Here, have some fresh chocolate chip cookies, you must be really hungry.” Then she gave him the cookies with a nice and fresh aroma.

Then Henry took the cookies and ate it. While he was eating his tears start leaking from his eyes, he felt sad and lonely, he just wants someone to be with, holding him with welcoming hug and telling his it’s okay, but it wouldn’t happen... As he continued eat the cookies with falling tears.

The lady was in shocked and surprised of seeing this poor angel’s eyes tearing up. She felt very sorry for him, as she sits beside him and placed her arm behind Henry’s back and rub down to relax and calm.

He misses Linda, he misses his friends at the studio and... Bendy... His sweet demon.

2 minutes later:

As Henry finally started to feel calm and wipe the tears off his eyes.

“Are you feeling better?” The lady asked him, as Henry responded with a nod. “I’m glad... I was so worried, you need to be more careful to take care of yourself, if I wasn’t around, you would’ve gone worse.”

Henry looked with smile, “Yeah, thank you so much for helping me... I don’t know how to return the favor, but I’m glad you did.”

“Hehe... you don’t have to thank me, you can thank ‘Him’ for saving you.”

“Uh, Him...!” Henry was wandering of what she said.

“The little guy is sitting right beside you...!” She points him from his left side.

When he looked to the left, he saw a small creature with four legs and long tail, his fur mixed by yellow and light brown, and small black eyes.

It’s the ferret... Where did he come from?

Henry was very confused about this animals’ behavior, why would this creature help him, and for what reason? The ferret doesn’t get close to strangers, only by their owner, but he seems so friendly and trustful through him.

“Wait... Him... B-But who is he? and... Where did he come from?” Henry asked puzzling that he never met this animal and his owner.

“What? He’s not yours!” She asked.

“N-No, he’s not... I’ve never seen him before and also, I don’t know who his owner is?!” He

“Hm, that’s strange, he seems like he knows you and trusted you... He was the only one who guide me here to you? If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have found you here.”

“H-He did?” Henry looked down at the ferret with a shocked and puzzled expression on his face. As Henry was about to pet his head, but he shouldn’t in his thought, he needs to be careful, ferret may look adorable from their looks, but they may not like to be touched by strangers other than their owner.

But in surprise, the ferret got closer to Henry and sat on his lap. He looked at Henry’s face with his tiny eyes and sniff his shirt. Henry was very nervous and feeling awkward by his behavior.

And of course, Henry never had a pet, but he’s an animal lover. He didn’t have a chance to get a pet because of his work at the studio. Also, Linda would love to have a pet as she told him, she wanted to have a dog when she had a child.

When the ferret stops sniffing, he looked at Henry with sparkling eyes and his tail swing happily, he then nuzzles Henry’s shirt purring as he’s happy.

Henry was totally in shocked of what had happened?! This is weird for him...

“Aw, would you look at that, he likes you.” The lady said with heart flow above her and smiled wide to see them.

“I-I...!” Henry wasn’t sure what he could say, but he felt warm and tenderness from his chest, made calm and relieve. He put his hand on ferret’s back and rubbed him soft fur gently which make him purr by Henry’s touch, that made Henry smile happily and giggle for this cute little guy. “I’m very thankful that you helped me, I don’t know why you did it, but I’m glad that you did... Thank you!”

The ferret tail flicked happily as he climbed to Henry’s shoulder to lick his cheek and he made Henry laugh, “Hehe... S-stop... stop that... y-you’re tickling me... Hehehe...!” Henry laughed by ferret licking him.

The lady laughs back and watch Henry try to stop the ferret from tickling him. She was glad and relieved to see this angel getting quite well and he seems to be okay.

Just then Henry stops laugh for a moment and looked at the lady smiling, “Oh, I’m sorry... I wanna thank you too madam, you really help me a lot and how can I repay you.”

“Oh please, you don’t have thank me, sweetheart... I did the best I could to help and I’m glad you’re okay.” The lady smiled nervous and blush by his cute face.

“Y-Yeah... Thank you...!” Henry also got nervous and blushed. Then he looked back at her. “Oh, right, I haven’t introduced myself; my name is Henry.”

“Henry, that’s a sweet name... Oh, where are my manners... I’m Annie, Annie Cupcake.”

“Annie... That a wonderful name for a sweet, beautiful, and kind hearted lady like you.” Henry said with smile on his face. Which made Annie’s heart beat fast and feel hot all over face, then her body start to burn on fire.

The animated eyes were wide in shock of seeing Annie burned up, “A-Annie... Are you alright... Y-You’re burning up...!”

Annie just snaps out of her emoting and shake her thought to cool down. “Y-Y-Y-Yeah... Yeah, I’m okay... Hehe...!” She said with smile nervously at him.

“Ooookayy...!” Henry isn’t sure about her behavior, but he let it go and changed the subject, “A-Anyway, the cookies were so great and tasty, I really love it... Where did you get it?”

“Oh, I baked them this afternoon, I own a Sweets Shop right over there...!” She points him the sweet shop pink building from the other street.

“Wow, that wonderful. You must have a great gift to make those sweet cookies and the other cakes.” Henry is amazed.

“Oh, No... Please, don’t say that... Hehe...” Annie placed her hands on her cheeks looked down sheepishly blush and happy. When she snaped out of her shyness and looked at Henry, “Hey, I haven’t seeing you around. Are you new here?”

“Yeah, you could say that.” Henry looked away with sad face.

“Where you from?” Annie asked.

“Someplace, far away from here.” Henry answering her calmly.

“Huh, I’m surprised... But I’m happy to meet new people.” Annie said with smile. “So, Henry! Would you like to come over my shop and have some more cookies?”

“Oh, uh no... I-I can’t... I can’t stay here that long... I need to get to the Moon Bar fast.” Henry said.

“Wait, The Moon Bar! why do you wanna to go there?” Annie asked in confusion.

“I have lost something very important to me and that is why I need to get there... Do you know where it is?”

“Hm, well... It’s acutely at the other side the town, it’ll take 20 minuets to walk, for you could easily get there by flight.”

“That’s great, I still had time to get there before it’s opening.” Henry said in relief.

Annie looked at him in shock and got nervous of what she’ll tell him. “Um Henry! Unfortunately, it already has opened.”

Henry’s eyes twitching by getting panic even worse. He’s too late... The bar has been opened while he slept, there is no way he could possibly get there on foot and he can’t even fly.

‘Oh, no... Nononono... My necklace will be lost forever if I don’t hurry...!’ Henry said in his thoughts. He quickly placed the ferret on the bench and stood up, “Annie... I-I’m sorry... but I had to go...!” As was about to leave, but Annie stopped him by grabbing his wrist.

“Henry, wait... You still didn’t recover yet; you’ll collapse again if you...!”

“I Can’t Wait Longer...!” Henry shouted as he shoved Annie away.

Henry sped off through the street and entered between the building to the alleyway to get to the other side of the streets. While he moved strait. He heard a sound from behind him as he stopped for a moment, it sounds like thumping footsteps running from the alleyway, as the sound was approaching, he looked down and saw something he wasn’t expecting.

It was the ferret.

Henry was shocked of what he saw, why is this animal chasing after him? And what does he want?

“Y-You again...!” Henry said in shock, “Why are you following me?”

As the ferret approached, he climbed from Henry’s pants, to his short until he reached the shoulder.

Henry couldn’t believe this is happening, as he looked at the ferret, “Look I appreciate for you helping me, but I don’t want you to get in trouble because of me... Go home...!”

But the ferret doesn’t care, as he set on Henry’s shoulder quietly, not moving, like telling him, ‘I’m going with you.’ or ‘I’ll stay with you.’ As if he spoke, but never will.

Henry slaps his face awkwardly, “Okay, okay, fine... You win...!” He sighs loudly, “...But you better stay close to me and hold one tight, because I wouldn’t stop until I get there.”

The ferret purred happily and swinging his tail as a respond.

Then Henry continued his way, feeling stupid for taking the ferret with him, ‘I can’t believe I Am doing this... but I just can’t leave him behind!’ As he said in his thoughts.

5 mins later:

It’s happening again, Henry felt dizzy, his knees shaking and his whole body ached like hell... He’s having a hard time breathing, as he slowly leaned himself on the wall to stay put and pulled the tie from his neck so he could breathe.

“Oh no, please not now...” He said to himself while he keeps his body steady, he raised up with a painted grunt, gritting his teeth.

The ferret watches the angel try to breathe. He felt sad and worried for him as he licks Henry’s face to calm him down.

Henry felt the ferret licking his face, he smiled weakly, “I-I’ll be fine... I j-just need to...!”

“Well, well, well... If it isn’t the four eyes angel prey.”

Henry’s body suddenly froze. When he heard a familiar voice from behind, he looked back and saw The Butcher Gang standing looking at him with a sinister smile.

“Oh, God... Not you guys again.” Henry was disturbed, with sweat drop on his face.

“Yes, it’s us and you may have gotten away for once by Mod Boss, but this time you wouldn’t be lucky to escape from us!” Charlie threatened him.

“And You’ve made us so embarrassed and humiliated in front of everyone. Now you’re gone pay.” Barley said in anger.

“Oh Hehe, this is gone be so easily to capture this precious angel.” Edgar said with smirk on his face.

Henry sighed heavily shaking his head by getting annoyed from them, “Guys Seriously! Aren’t you get tired of all this *Quack* and is this really on necessary to catch me...! You boys are being such an annoying pain in the *Quack*!”

The gang got the point of what Henry said, as they growled in anger and the smock going out from their head.

“You’re gone regret this!” Charlie said in rage, as he is getting closer.

“S-Stay back!!” Henry shouted, as he backed away in fear. He doesn’t have enough strength to move his body.

Before Charlie could get a hold of Henry the ferret has suddenly hiss and growled at him.

“What the...?!” Charlie was surprised of what he saw, “What the hell is that?”

“Oh, that is a ferret...?” Edgar explained, but Charlie interrupted.

“I Know. What. It. Is. You. Fool!!” Charlie said angry, “Beside what is he gone do... bite me, huh... Limp!” He smirked on the ferret.

The ferret growled wildly from his words, he jumped at Charlie and attacked him by scratching and biting his face.

“Aaaaarrhhh! Ow, Ow, Owwww!” Charlie screamed in pain and tried to get the ferret off him.

“CHARLIE!!!” Barley and Edgar screamed in panic of seeing their boss being attacked by the ferret.

“Don’t you idiots just stand there, Get this thing off me...!!” Charlie tried his best to get rid of the ferret.

As his gang approached to help him, but the ferret jumped forward and attacked them. He first attacked Barley, then Edgar...

Henry was surprised of watching his little friend the ferret, attacking them trying to save him. Then Henry got the point, as he quickly stood up and started to run through the alleyway.

The ferret jumped forward and started to run away. The Butcher Gang fell on the ground, moaning in pain and cried out loud.

Charlie stood up annoyed, “You idiots, you let him escape... Get him!!” He shouted.

The gang stood up and start running after Henry.

While Henry tried his best to keep moving and try to avoid them, then he heard the stomping feet of two members of The Butcher Gang from behind. He tried sprinting faster, then he ran to the other side the alley and stopped at a dead end.

Henry panicked. ‘No... I’m trapped!’

He quickly looked around to find the exit, but there is nothing. He saw a dumpster there which gave him the idea, he quickly looked through it and try to find something useful to help, then he found an iron bar. He quickly hid behind the dumpster and stayed quiet.

The gang approached the dead end but were their surprised of not finding him. They looked at each other and had a thought that he may be hiding somewhere close by so start to look around try to find him.

Then out of blue... Henry swings the bar and hit Edgar’s head very hard until he lost conscious. When Barley heard Edger moan in pain, he turns around and he soon gets hit also through his head and fell unconscious.

Henry part fast, as his hands and knees were shaking. He takes a deep breath and let it all out to calm his stress, but then he heard other sound coming by as he remembers that the other one is still out there, he quickly left the bar up and get ready to fight.

Then he soon saw the small figure running to him, Henry felt happy and relieved to see his little friend okay, he laid down on his knees and open his arms for him.

The ferret jumped to his chest and nuzzled. As Henry hugged him, “Thank God, you’re okay...!” Henry said happily and looked at him, “You had me worried, don’t ever do that again, you may get hurt...!”

The ferret purred back making a cute look on it’s face.

Henry couldn’t help but laughed from his behavior, “Hehe... You’re very weird, but brave and strong...! Come on, let get out of here.” Then he stood up and started walking.

But suddenly...

‘Bang’

The sound of gunshot was louder, Henry fell on the ground feeling pain from his left shoulder, when he grabbed his shoulder, he felt warm wet from his hand, he looked down and saw red. It was blood, his blood.

He’s been shot.

Charlie is standing there holding his gun, with smoke coming out of it, “You’re not going anywhere...!” His voice was raspy with rage.

Henry was in fear that he’s going to kill him, he looked at the ferret seeing his body was shaking, the poor little guy must have got scared by sound of gunshot, “Go, Run. Away... NOW!!” He shouted at him.

But the ferret didn’t move still shaking, but then Henry quickly pushed him with his hand stained with blood to snap him out of his fear, “GO, NOW!!” He shouts at him again.

Then the ferret start running, then he stopped to look behind him and see wounded angel cry in fear and pain... The ferret growl to himself feeling upset and ashamed of leaving his friend behind, looked away and headed upward out the alley.

Henry tried to stand, but he screamed in pain when Charlie stomped his foot behind Henry’s back, to prevent him from escaping. Then he stormed by kicked him at the abdomen, causing Henry to whimper.

Henry grabbed his wound on his shoulder and huddle up against the floor. Feeling pain at his stomach from the harsh kick. The poor man screamed in sheer pain as tears rolled down his cheeks

Then Charlie simply giggled. “Poor little boy... All alone and helpless... With the demon or anyone around to protect you.” Charlie taunted. “Nobody is here gone save you and also, no one would ever know you existed...!”

When he looked at his unconscious gang, he grew frustrated from their failure how useless they are.

“Oh, well! guess I’ll have to do the dirty work on my own!” The leader of The Butcher Gang grabbed the angel animators throat, attempted to pin him down.

“No... Stop! Stop it!” Henry cried out panicking try to struggle once more try to free himself from grab. “SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!! BENDY!!” Henry screamed calling out for help, but nobody was there, and Bendy isn’t here for him.

Charlie grabbed Henry by the throat tightly and began choking him. At this point, Henry couldn’t move or even fight back because of his injuries and too weak to fight him, the toon sinner groups much strength. His world stopped as the pain surged though his lower body.

Poor Henry closed his eyes and begged for a miracle, waiting for his moment to be ending.

While the sinner began to suffocate the animator, a deep voice interferes.

“Hey you!”

Charlie got attention by hearing someone, when he looked at the person, his eyes wide in shock and fear that he knows how’s this guy is.

It was the angel not any angel... It’s the Fallen Angel, with one horn and two different wings white and black. He looked at Charlie with normal one eye and the other eye was white with X in the middle. On his shoulder was the ferret, he sat there and hissed at Charlie.

“You better get away from him or we’re going to do this the hard way!!” He said in rage pulling out his wood baseball bat with nails on top.

Charlie released Henry’s throat, then he slowly back away from him and ran.

Henry gasped and coughed struggling to breath, he tried to stand up, but was too exhausted to move, with his injures his vision got blurry, he somehow could things around him, but he can’t be sure if his hearing could recognize the voices from anyone other than Charlie, his gang or Bendy.

Henry heard the familiar thumping footsteps coming to him and feeling the familiar licking on his face. Henry was relieved and glad to know his brave little ferret is back and his eyes began to get watery and sniffling. He wanted to say something, but it’ll caused more pain for him to speak.

Then sudden, Henry jumped fearful when he heard footstep approach him closely. He thought that it maybe The Butcher Gang came back to kill him and finish of what they start. He’s gone die.

Instead...

Henry whined when he felt hands pulled him up careful and placed in the stranger arms. A terrified angel closed his eyes tight, his heart pounding with anticipation and his body shaking fear the worse may happened!

“Shhh... It’s okay! Don’t be afraid young man, I’m not gone hurt you.” The deep voice spoke to him calmly and nice. “Everything is okay now, you’re save... They wouldn’t come back and hurt you.”

As Henry could hear his voice sound deep, but the way he speaks made him feel save and grateful and make his fear and nerves calmed.

The poor angel animator rested his head at the persons chest and soon fell into a peaceful slumber.

The fallen angel looked at him with confessed looks on his face, whispering at the unconscionably angel.

“Who are you...!”

BATIM - Fallen Angel
Chapter 10

Previously when Henry was been chasing by The Butcher Gang.

At the side the streets:

“Ah, come on Axel! We’ve been searching for your pet for hours and we can’t find him anywhere.” The rat toon guy said.

Named “Richy Rat”, the rat toon, he had big ears with holes in his left ear, he had three scratches on his left cheek, he’s a short toon, with big muscles in his arms.

Richy was grumble to his friend Axel the Fallen Angel who is searching around the building and streets looking for his lost pet. Axel’s pet has been missing since this morning not knowing where did he run off too?

“Grrr... Shut up, Richy! If you keep complaining, go f***k yourself up and go home. I’m not gone stop until I find my baby.” Axel yelled annoying at his friend.

The angel has been wandering around the town looking his pet, worried that he maybe hurt or lost somewhere, and he wouldn’t stop searching for him until got back home safe and sound.

‘Bang’

Out of suddenly, they heard something out loud behind the building.

“What was that?” Richy said in surprised.

“It sounds like gunshot.” Axel answered while he knows what kind of weapons are issued.

“Huh, probably some of dumb toon got into trouble with the gang... Come on, let’s keep looking...!” Richy said completing a walk, didn’t care what of what’s happening.

As Axel was about to move forward, he stopped, he suddenly smelled something strange in the air, he sniffed it and he knew that it was blood, but this blood smells different then any senses he had.

“Axel, look!!” Richy called him.

When Axel response Richy points his finger to the roadway seeing the ferret running fast out of the hallway cover in red.

“AKI!!” Axel yelled loudly to hear him.

When the ferret heard Axel’s voice, he looked where the voice came and saw Axel wave at him, the ferret tail swinging happily to see his partner.

The ferret name’s Aki run to him, and Axel laid down on his knees with open his arms for him.

When Aki ferret jumped to Axel’s chest... Axel hugged him, “Oh thank God, you’re okay... You had me worried, I thought I’ve lost...” When he let go, he looked at him closely! His eyes wild in shock and fear of seeing him stained with red stain over his fur, “W-What the hell is this? I-Is that blood...!”

“WHAT!!” Richy shouted in surprised, as he came closely to see, “Oh s**t! He might be hurt... We need to take him to veterinary.”

“Wait...!” Axel needs to check on him again, he had no injure which relieve it’s not his blood. But the smells were familiar. As Axel realized that is blood belong to the person that might be shot for a while ago.

“Aki... Where did you get this blood?” Axel asked seriously.

“What... Axel what are you saying?” Richy was surprised by hearing this.

As Aki knows what he meant, he jumped of his partner and start running to show him and then Axel followed him.

“Hey, where are you going??” Richy yelled from him but didn’t answer him back.

As the ferret guided Axel into dark alleyways, when he got closer heard someone cried out panicking and calling out for help.

When he reached that place, his eyes were shock by seeing the angel covered in blood laying on the ground above him The Butcher Gang leader Charlie is straggly the angel’s throat tightly and began choking him.

A low growl escaped from Axel’s throat of watching this poor angel tries to fight back to free himself, but Axel could see the angel’s arms are trembling of getting weak, he closed his eyes and begged for a miracle, waiting for his moment to be ending.

“Hey you!”

Axel interferes by shouting in rage at Charlie who’s got attention by hearing his voice, when he saw him, his eyes wide in shock and fear that he recognizes him clearly.

“You better get away from him or we’re going to do this the hard way!!” Axel said out loud appears his sharp tooth wildly, as his halo glowing widely in rage above his head. He pulls out his wood baseball bat with nails on top and ready to fight, and his partner Aki set on his shoulder hiss anger at vicious.

Charlie’s sweat cold running down his face in fear, as he released the angel throat, then he slowly back away from him and run for his life.

Axel took a deep breath and sighed calmly, he looked down to see the injured angel with wander and surprise. He looks closely at the terrified angel. He gasped and coughed struggling to breath, as he tried to stand up, but he hissed in pain to move. His eyes trailed down the path of red, as he stared directly at the gaping hole in his shoulder, he has bullet shot wound.

Before he approached the scene, he felt something very powerful, and senses his blood was unique then any toons and then he sees something unexpected through his left eye X!!! The angel’s heart is glowing in yellow radiant through his chest, Axel isn’t sure what it was and it’s hard for him to see it clear, it hurts his eyes by looking at him.

Then suddenly Aki jumped off his shoulder and run forward to the injured angel.

“Aki!!” Axel calling him, but he didn’t respond.

Then Aki approached to angel to lick his face, he made a sound moaning with sadness and worries for his injured friend.

Axel couldn’t believe of what he saw, his pet never likes to get close to anyone accept him and even trust them. There’s something strangely about this guy, and he is definitely not an ordinary toon. When Axel approached closely and knelt next to the angel. He careful pulled him up slowly and place him in his arms. The poor guy jumped fearful of surprise by feeling someone is carrying him, his body shaking in fear and terror.

“Shhh... It’s okay! Don’t be afraid young man, I’m not gonne hurt you.” Axel spoke to him calmly. “Everything is okay now, you’re safe... They wouldn’t come back and hurt you.”

Axel could tell from the angel’s reaction that hear his voice, made his fear and nerves calm. saw his lip move as he try to speak, but no voice came out. He closed his eyes and rested his head on his chest and soon fell unconscious.

“Who are you...!” The fallen angel whispered to him, looked this poor angel with confessed and worried looks on his face.

The smell of a redolence hit Henry’s nose, as a soft groan escaped his lips. His body ached and his consciousness was fading in and out with each breathe took. Voices intruded his senses, as his eyes fluttered open and closed. Minutes passed, then hours, until he finally grabbed a hold his fading consciousness. His eyes soon opened, the sight of a white ceiling with a fan above him invading his eyes. He huffed a silent breath, as he slowly sat up.

“W-Where... Am I...?”

He looked down at what he was laying on. It was master bed, as his right hand to his face and rubbed it, getting the sleep out of his eyes, but he needs his glasses to see clearly. He placed his right hand beside of bed to be sure if his glasses close by and it did. When he put his glasses on, he looked around the room, searching and inspecting. It seemed to be master bedroom, beside the deck door, he could see the sky is getting dark out. Then he looked again judging the shape of this room is a man room, which mean that who live here is a man.

Henry was very confused, as he tried to remember of what happened to him.

“W-What happened? What is this place...?” He asked himself, as he felt pain his throat while he speaks. He tried to stand up, but he stopped by feeling searing pain in his left shoulder. When he looked at his injure, he was surprised from his shoulder was bandaged and he was half naked only with his pants.

Last time he remembers that he ended up getting shot by Charlie and tried to kill him. Then he heard someone shouting to make him stop, Charlie had got panic and run away for dear life... Then afterword’s, he was carried be stranger and passed out.

Henry couldn’t believe this is happening to him. He looked down at his wound wandering who has patched him up, and who lived here?!

Then suddenly Henry heard footstep approached the room and it seemed the person who lived here is about to inter the bedroom. Henry began to panic; he didn’t know who’s this guy and what will he gone do to him. He took a deep breath to keep himself calm and wait to see who it was?

When the door is opened, and the person came inside. Henry’s eyes widened in shock of seeing this guy right in front of him was an angel like him but different! He had two wings with white and black, a glowing halo and one horn.

“Oh, you’re finally awake. I was wandering when you’ll wake up?” Axel said gently with smiled showing his sharp tooth of relieve and glad to see him.

From this moment when Henry heard the angel’s voice? He recognized it back when Charlie is about to kill him. That is the guy who saved him from death...? Who is this guy and... Who created him?

“How are you feeling now? Feeling any pain?” Axel said.

“I-I...!” Henry was very nervous with fear to respond, as he tries his best to calm himself to speak not know what to say, “W-Who are you, mister?” He said nervously with weak voice.

Axel looked at him with surprised and laughed by his react, he could see this angel fears him, “My apologies young man! There is no need to be scared, I have no motive of hurting you...!” Then he reaches to the bed and sit beside him, “My name’s Axel the Fallen Angel and it’s a pleasure to meet you... Might I know your name?”

“Oh, I-I... It’s Henry.” Henry responds back.

“Henry...! Nice name for a new angel.” Axel said with sharp smile teeth.

“H-How do you know, I’m new?” Henry asked with surprised looks on his face.

“Well, that because I know all angels form every town and city and your ink skin sense is fresh, which of course this indicates that you’re new in this world.” Axel explained.

“I see!” It surprised and amazed Henry from hearing all the information Axel had interpreted him.

“Dose your throat hurt when you talk?” Axel asked as he saw Henry feel pain while he speaks.

Henry nodded to his answered.

“I expected this will happen when you awake, so don’t stress yourself out and take it easy.” Axel said.

Henry could see Axel is a very smart angel, good looking and kind. He just couldn’t help but stare at him to study his appearance and disposition. ‘He appears to be around my age, but possibly older than me and Joey. From his looks he seems to be kind half angel and half demon... Even if he looks creepy but he does have a good heart.’ His thought, as he looked beck up at his face. His eyes are different the white one was like a dead toon, and he had a broking horn from the other side. Is something had happened to him that cause him those old wounds.

“Hey, you have been quite for a while. Were you staring at my face and studying my looks...? Are you flirting me...!” Axel was smirked widely as he was very close to Henry’s eyes level.

Henry didn’t realize that he was so close while he was obsessed in his mind, which made the poor animater face hot crimson, he quickly covers his head with blanked to hide for being embarrassed and ashamed.

Axel laughed out loud by his behaver, he’s acting like a shy kid... How cute!!

“I’m So. So. Sorry!!! I didn’t mean to...!” Henry apologies under the blanket.

“That’s okay... I get that a lot and I was just teasing ya...!” Axel stopped laughing and wipe his tears with his finger by laughed so hard.

From that moment, the two angels suddenly heard a movement inside the room, as they saw something crawled under the blanket approaching to Henry and then its revelation Aki’s head from the cover.

“I-It’s you!!” Henry was surprised to see his little friend again. “B-But... How did you...!”

Henry couldn’t say more when Aki reach out to his chest and licked his cheek. Aki was very happy to see him awake, it made Henry laugh from the tickle, Henry begged his to stop, “Ouch!!” Then Henry cried painfully in his shoulder, and of course Aki stopped when he heard him moan in pain.

“Okay, that’s enough Aki, leave this guy alone...!” Axel grabbed his ferret and place him away from Henry.

“A-Aki!” As Henry heard him calling the ferret’s name.

“Yep, that’s Aki the Ferret, my boy.” Axel smiled at Aki rubbed his neck gently made Aki purr.

“He... He’s your!!” Henry felt nervous and very confused, “I-I... If he is your pet, then...! Why would he rick his life to help unknown stranger that he never met?” He asked.

“That’s exactly what I want to know!! The question is... How did this happen? Where did you find Aki and how did you make him follow you?!”

“What, No! I swear... I didn’t do anything to him.” Henry starts to get panic as his halo and his forehead are melted down and placed his hand on his chest tried his best to tell him the truth. “P-Please, you have to believe me... I’m also in shock when he showed up. I told his to go home, but he insists to stay with me.”

Axel looked at Aki in shocked and unbelievably and then he looked back to Henry, “Tell me from beginning... How did this happen?”

Then Henry started explanation everything from the beginning and how they first meet, he told him how he saved him from The Butcher Gang when they tried to capture him and killed him. That made Henry’s body shivered, he closed his eyes and clenched his hands tightly from the intensity of fear when he remembered the frightening moment things of what they had done to him.

Axel had notices how terrified Henry is when he speaks about violence. He seems the type of toon that doesn’t like to fight or causes any harm for anyone. He is scared and doesn’t trust the situation which he felt sorry for him, and he can’t blame him.

“I see...” Axel sigh heavily to calm his nerves. “That explains everything...! Aki has been acting strange since we went to the market, I didn’t realize he was gone. So, I’ve been searching for him over hours until I found him running of the street cover in blood... Your blood!!”

Henry not looking at him, but he could hear him talking while he still listening. “He led me to you and found you try to fight back as you’re about to die. Aki didn’t want to leave you behind. If it wasn’t for him! You would have been killed by The Butcher Gang.”

Henry remained silent and closed his eyes tight by feeling pain from his chest. He doesn’t want to speak about it anymore.

Axel had notice, so he starts to change the subject. “Look, I know you’re tired and feel pain, but there is something I need to know... Where exactly are you headed?”

Immediately Henry’s eyes widened in shocked and panicky that he totally forgetting about his necklace, as he looked through the deck winder realized that it’s afternoon and see the clock on the wall, it was 6:18am... It made his heart race fast, then he looked at Axel asked in fear. “H-How long... h-have I been out.” His tone of voice was trembling.

Axel looked at him in shocked and confused about his question, “You have been unconscious about two days.” He gave him the answered.

Henry nervousness skyrocket and raised an eyebrow in horror, that he has been unconscious over TWO DAYS... Made his heart sank of sadness and pain.

“Oh God... Oh God!!” Henry said by sound of desperate, his hands covering the bottom half of his face. Tears were streaming down his face, sticking to his cheeks and neck.

Axel suddenly saw Henry sodded heavily; he was crying. “Henry, what’s wrong?” Axel asked with worries.

“I... I-I lost my necklace... my wife necklace... I-It’s gone... Gone forever...!” Henry whimpered.

Axel was shocked of what he said, no wander why he is so upset! The necklace must be very importing to him for the lost one. Axel doesn’t know how to comfort him, he somehow never shows any emotion around everyone, but it hit him the feeling of sadness through this broking angel. So, Axel did the only thing that he never did, he steps forward, wrapping his arms around Henry. One hand pats his back, and another soothes his hair.

Henry hugged back buries his face in Axel’s shirt and started whimpered and breathed intensely as he cried. He uttered out a few words through his sobs and hiccups, “Li, Linda...! I-I’m so sorry... I’ve promise that I’ll keep i-it safe, b-but I’ve... failed you... I’m so... so sorry my love...!” He cried very hard, feeling heartbroken and disappointment. He had just lost part of his heart forever and nothing can be returned for once he loves.

It has been like an hour and the room went silence. Henry lay his head on Axel’s lap sobs silently, as Axel looked down to see the poor angel tears still licking down his cheek, he wipes Henry’s tears with his finger and his other hand rubbed Henry’s hair gently to make him feel comfortable and relax.

When Axel heard soft snores knowing Henry fallen asleep, he picked him up and placed his head on the pillow, then pulling the blanket over him. He rubbed his back gently and leave the room to let him sleep, but as he was about to leave! He saw Aki curled up slowly next to Henry and nestle himself in his arm, as Henry is sleeping, he pulled Aki close to his chest and hug him closely not realized of what it was, but it made him comfier and calm.

Axel couldn’t help but smile to his ferret, knowing he’ll be okay. Then he closed the door and went to the kitchen to get some drink when he approaches! He saw Richy sitting at the kitchen table with glass of whiskey on his hand. When Richy saw Axel came out of the room, he places other glass aside.

“So, how is he doing?” Richy asked as he’s pouring glass whiskey for his partner.

Axel didn’t say anything as he sits next to Richy, took the glass and drink at once until the glass is empty. Then he places the glass at the table and sigh heavily. “He is totally backdown, it’s all because he lost his precious necklace.”

“Well, can’t blame him of losing something very important for his love once.” Richy said, looking at his glass rolling the ice cube.

“You head that, huh!!” Axel said.

“Loud and clear... I heard him calling ‘Linda’ out loud... She might be his girlfriend, mother, or sister... Who knows?!”

“That poor guy sure care about her that mush. She probably has passed away for a long time and the only thing left for him was her memories.” Axel said while he pours the drink on his glass.

“Yeah, he somehow doesn’t have a family or friends in here.” Richy sighed, as he looked at his friend, “Did he tells you where he comes from or where he lives?”

“No, he didn’t! I’ve search in his clothes for his ID or address, but nothing... judging by his clothes they were new and expensive. It appears that some rich guy had buy for him... That smell from his clothes was oddly familiar, it’s obviously from...!” Axel explained, as he sudden growl raggedly through his throat. “Benicio Drew!”

“B-Benicio...! The Mob Boss.” Rishy yelled in shocked couldn’t believe of what he heard. “Are you serious?! If that’s true, then this is totally out of line...!” His voice wavered.

“Huh, believed or not... I’ve known his sense for so long, which it made me sick. Demons are nothing but animals.” Axel ranted, his voice rising with anger with every passing second.

“Do you think he could be one of his victims?” Rishy asked.

“Who knows? After what he did to Alice Angel, he could be the next victim to that beast?!” Axel growled while he specks his sharp tooth would show of rage.

Rishy didn’t like the sound of hearing his friend anger; he knows Axel hate demons so much, for that they have done to him from the past that he became Fallen Angel, because of them. Which he took the path of loneliness to stay away from humans and toons, not being welcomed by angels or demons.

“So, anyways!! What do you suggest we should do with him? Any ideas?” Then Richy changes the subject to make Axel forget the anger.

While Axel got the attention, he wasn’t sure what he will do about Henry? That poor guy really hard time for his life, his mental state isn’t reassuring, and he can’t take care himself while he’s in this condition. He can’t leave him like this, he must do something or else he’ll probably hurt himself.

‘...Ring, ring...’

Then a silence break by the sound of phone raining. As Richy stood up from his chare and pick up the phone.

“Hello...! Yes, he’s here... hold up...!” He places his hand on handset and looked to his partner, “It’s for you.”

Then Axel came forward, toke the handset from Richy and answered, “Hello, who is this?”

“What’s up bro, I haven’t heard from ya for a few days, did ya get killed again, or ya’re having a sweet dream for yar... Wolf Crasher...!”

“F***K YOU ABEL! I’m not in the mood for your stupid jokes.” Axel shout in anger as his face turn red and his halo glowed while sharp by his emoting.

“Okay, okay sorry...!” Abel giggled and smile, “So anyways, I... Uh... I mean We had a series problem from those days and I thought if ya and yar friends could help us out.”

Axel could head his friend angel voice sound like upset and tired. There something has happen to him which made him worried. “You sound tired, it appears you’re having a hard day... Huh!”

“Ya have no idea...!” Abel said tiredly through the phone, “The Devil face has been out of control over two days, he couldn’t stop drinking and refuses to eat anything... Dr. Boris have tried everything he could to calm him down, but nothing seems to work, which he totally has lost his mind.”

“Really... And for what reason that caused him to change his behavior that seriously and why are you helping him?” Axel asked surprising.

“Well, um... It’s actually part of my fault for what happen to him.” Abel said in upset sound.

“Huh... What do you mean?” Axel was wander.

“Look, don’t give me wrong, I know that two of us are worse team to work together and hated each other and also, I know that he had done many worse things form his life...!”

“Yeah, like the way he did to Alice Angel... That’s for sure!?” Axel said with growled throw his breath.

“We both know exactly how she end up and she broke his soul that made him believe that he is nothing but a heartless demon, which change his heart because of her... but I know deep down he isn’t.”

“Well, that doesn’t change anything of who he is, just like his old man did?!”

“Maybe or maybe not... but he’s nothing like him.”

“Heh... Yeah right, even if he’s different, but he is still a demon.” Axel dislike of what Abel said.

“Ya’ll be surprised when ya hear this... Something has happened to him over few weeks, as I’ve heard from Dr. Boris, his behavior has start to change when the new angel has arrived...?”

“W-Wait... A new Angel?” Axel said in shocked for not believe this. “When did that happen?”

“It’s a long story and I’ll explained it later, but right now I need yar help to find him.” Abel said.

Axel was very confused and suspicion, could this be a link about Henry? If it’s, then he needs to be sure? “What is this new angel looks like?” He asked.

“He has a white short hair, but he had long side hair that could cover his left face, he wears a glasses due, and he wearing a white bow tie, white t-shirt and black pants.” Abel explained.

This time when his eyes grow, they’re wild with shock by hearing every detail about this new angel... It’s definitely Henry, that explained how he got Benicio’s sense.

“Was the angel’s name being Henry?” Axel addresses of the importin question.

Abel went silence through the phone, as he was in shock of hearing the name. “H-How did ya know his name?” The question came out shockingly.

“Because he’s here with me.” Axel answered beck.

“He is? Is he okay?” Abel asked in worries.

“No, he’s not... He’s been shot.”

“WHAT...!” Abel shout loudly, “How did that happen and when?”

“The Butcher Gang, Charlie has shot him from his shoulder, and he has been in a coma over two days, but now he’s awake and he is in a hopeless condition.”

“Oh no,” Abel sound very depressed and worried, “We’ll come to yar house, just stay there...!”

“W-WAIT WHAT A...!” As Axel is about to asked, but Abel hang up the phone in sudden.

Axel was very confused and completely lost... What just happened and dose he mean by ‘We’!?

Six minute later:

Axel and Richy are sitting in their living room waiting for the unknown guests arrived. Which made Richy very curious and uncomfortable of what Axel has told him while he talks to Abel. He had a bad feeling this isn’t gone be okay of letting the unknown guests into their apartment.

As Axel is sitting on his couch cross his arms with the eyes closed waited and next to him his baseball bat in case if this gone out of control.

“Um, Axel, I really don’t like this.” Richy has begun to get nerves, sweating and tumble his fingers, “How long do you think they’re gone get here?”

Axel open his one eye to looks at his friend calmly, not showing any worried as he looked to his watch and see the time is clicking. “Well... They’re in fact should be here right...!”

There’s the sound of car speed up and then...

‘Crash...!’

Then the sudden crash from outside the building had made the neighborhood residents startled, screaming in terror and panic.

“W-Wha... What the hell was that?” Richy yapped out of his set in shocked of what had happened.

“Hm, it seems our guests has arrived.” Axel said as he’s still sitting in his seat calmly not showing any reaction.

“W... W-What?” Richy couldn’t say anything for being shocked.

From that moment, they suddenly heard hard knock and familiar shout coming through their door.

“OPEN THE DOOR... OPEN THE F***KING DOOR YOU BASTARD...!”

“STOP IT BANDY...!” Boris’s voice.

“CALM YOURSELF YOU FOOL!!” Abel shouted as he try to hold him back.

“MY LORD YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN!!” Along with Sammy who also try to hold his lord back.

Axel know this would happen... As he get up, griped his baseball bat, and placed on his shoulder ready to attack. When he approach to the door, “Who’s out there...?!” Axel smirked as he made funny sound to mockery him.

“Open The Damn Door, NOW!!” Benicio shouted from outside the apartment door.

“Sorry, your appointment has been canceled, you have to come back later!!” Axel said his jokes at the angry demon.

“Don’t F***k Joke With Me Ya Piece of Lifeless S**t! Open this door, otherwise I’ll break it.” Bendy said in rage.

“Go ahead and try ‘cause I have my deadly weapon that can smash your brain out.” Axel hold his weapon tight and smiled evilly.

“ENOUGH...!” Boris griped Benicio’s shoulder and start saying out loud, “That’s enough Bendy...! That won’t help by yelling and threat at the guy who saved him. If you keep doing this, it will make Henry health even worse.” Boris had enough of watching his friend yelled at everyone around him.

Benicio looked at Boris as he got dark circles under his eyes and pant very fast from all the anger and fear that he’ll lose his angel again, he hadn’t slept and eat since Henry had disappear, which he knows Boris have try everything he could to help him.

“Just stay calm and let me handle this... Please.” Boris pleased the demon as he step forward and try to convince Axel.

“Mr. Axel, I am very sorry for bothering you and excuse our behavior...!”

While Boris is speaking through the door! Axel’s eyes wide open, his heart is beating fast from his chest and his face turn red from hearing the wolf talking to him.

“Please, let me check on him and rest assured his health. I need to be sure he’s okay... Please let us in!!” Boris pleased.

Axel can’t take this; he hate to hear Boris being sad and worried. He could resist to say no to his favorite wolf, so he thought about it as he toke a deep breath and inhalation to calm himself.

“Okay, fine! But if the devil face had caused any damage to my place, I’ll kick him out.” Axel said

“WHAT!! YA PIECE OF SON A...!” Bendy shout out loud and as he was about to say more, but Abel quickly cover his mouth.

“Yes, we understand... And we’ll make sure he’ll behave.” Abel said back.

“Ya Bastard...!” Bendy growled and looked at him in anger.

“Listen, do ya really want to see your angel? So, behave yourself and let it be.” Abel whispered to him.

As Benicio didn’t like when the angel face had a good point of what he said.

“Fine... Whatever!” He looked away not facing him to be admit that he was right.

Then Abel nodded to Boris... Then Boris got the message and nod back.

“Okay... Can you let us in?” Boris said calmly to him.

Then that moment, Axel open the door the let them in... While the others went into living room.

“Where is Henry?” Boris asked him first.

“He’s in my room, sleeping!” Axel respond.

“Ya better not do any dairy things to him while he was asleep?!” Benicio looked at him with his series bloody red eyes.

“Huh, and if I did! His skin is very soft makes me want to touch him more...!” Axel smirked evilly at him.

“Ya Bastard...!” Benicio said in rage as was about to attack him, but Abel hold him back try to control his anger.

“Calm down, he’s just joking don’t take this seriously...!” Then he looked at Axel, “And ya... Enough with yar damn jokes and let us see him.”

“Fine!” Axel shrink his shoulder not interested of what he did to make the demon angry.

So dark and cold noticed otherwise that everything is muffled; Henry felt his body heavy, tremble and too difficult to breathe.

The angel vision grew clearer... Then there was light in yellow like a gold! Too blurred to approach it. He tried to reach it, but he found it too hard to move.

He suddenly saw someone standing bound at the light not knowing who he was and where he was going? As his rash out to find who it was and followed it, he found the entire place was so dark unable to see anything around him. He tried to call out for help, but his voice coming only as a weak whimper.

His vision has narrowed down to one-meter radius around him. The whole place is moving as he saw the black arms raging everywhere.

There was a lot of noise of screaming in pain and bagged for help.

Henry got panic as he step away and felt something wet on his hands, he looked down at his hands shakily into his line view, as his vision was met with red and cruel dripped from his palm.

Blood...

There is blood on his hands. It fills his vision; his brain and his mouth makes him choke on seemingly thin air. It came all around him and his eyes shoot wild open.

And immediately he regrets it...

There’s bodies... Everywhere...

They were torn apart...

Wally... Norman... Susie... Thomas... Alison... Every co-workers he knows... They’re all dead...

Their bodies had sight of claw marks.

This is too much for him... Hendy didn’t want to see this, as he try to back away, but he suddenly couldn’t move his head, his wrists, and legs. He was tight up with invisible threads like cobwebs preventing escape, someone is trying to control him like a poppet.

“Aw Henry... Look at this mess you’ve made me do it~”

In a flash Henry heard deep cooed darkly hard footstep coming closer, until it appeared a dark terrified and huge creature looking at him with glowing eyes, he had two long horn and white sharp tooths wild open and his face cover with black ink dripped down, his hand had huge sharp claws placed as they were his fingers.

As the beast approach, he heard him high-pitched giggling and a white-hot breaths coming from his mouth, then his deadly smile saying something close to his face. “Look at yourself Hen!!... You’ve became one of us and it seems you’re tripped in this fake world... You have nowhere else to hide from me and no one will ever help you... And who ever dear to stop me! Will end up like your friends... Your soul will always belong to me... You’re mine.”

Henry felt his blood run cold over his skin, he tried to shout for help, but no sound would come out of his voice. His tears run down to his cheek as he tried to move but couldn’t...

“Hen...”

“Henry...!”

“HENRY!!”

Henry woke up screamed hoarsely and his eyes widened in fear, but he wasn’t completely awake as his eyes slowly blinked open. He felt a heat and humidity pressing over his body and the heartbeat touching his face, as something or someone is holding him.

“Henry!”

When Henry heard a familiar deep voice, he slowly move his head up to see his favorite toon demon looking at him with worried looks on him.

“Ya okay, babe?”

“Bendy...!” Henry sobbed, “I-Is it really you?” He asked as he placed his hand on Bendy’s cheek to be sure he’s real, not illusions.

Bendy put his hand on top Henry’s hand letting him feel his warm touch and smiled, “Yes, Doll... It’s me... the real me.”

Henry smiled happily with warm droplet tears wave of joyful and relive... He instantly hugged him and digging his face into Bendy’s chest. His shoulders slightly jerking up and down and his tears leak from his eyes, as he quickly escalated into loud cries and soda.

Bendy pulled him closer rubbing his back gently and his other hand ruffled through his angel’s hair tried to offer as much to comfort and calm him down. “Shh... It’s okay, I’m here, Doll!! I’m here...!” Benicio whispered close to his angel’s ear.

He could see Henry must have a bad dream that made him so terrified, as he hold him tight not letting go, fear that he’ll leave him...

Benicio couldn’t hold up any longer of feeling his tears threatening to come out from his eyes from feeling glad and relieve that he found his sweet angel alive and he’s right here. He thought he had lost him forever...

BATIM - Fallen Angel
Chapter 11

At Axel’s apartment:

Benicio sat beside Henry’s bed to make sure he feels comfortable while Boris check his wounds and change his bandages. Boris could see his wound is deep, and it hasn’t healed, and he also felt his skin is getting dry... He could see clearly that Henry had never drunk ink over the week and it’s not good, which this explain why he’s to weak and unable to heal.

In the toon world ink is the source of life for all living toons to keep them alive, like water.

Henry has been quiet for a while longer and he hasn’t said any words and not ever looking at them. That’s made Bendy so worried of seeing his sweet angel totally breakdown.

At this moment, while Benicio pushed Henry’s long side hair that cover his half face asides to seeing his face, but he saw the deep bruise around Henry’s neck, makes him shock by knowing his angel have been strangled hard that caused him to be in pain and unable to speak too much. Which made the demon’s eyes turn red full of anger and rage... Those bastards are going to regret trying to kill his angel.

Benicio tried his best to calm his rage so he wouldn’t frighten his angel, as he laid his head on Henry’s shoulder feeling sad and guilty that he wasn’t there to protect him, but he felt so grateful and in relief that he is alive.

In that moment:

The two angels were sitting in the living room having a conversation of what had happened to Henry... While Richy and Sammy are in the kitchen making soft food for Henry, as he hadn’t eaten anything over two days.

At the time Axel was listening to Abel’s every detail of how Benicio found Henry and what he was doing with him over the week.

“Wait, hold up... Let me get this straight...!” Axel place his hand on his forehead and breath calmly to relax and stay focus. He was in shocked and surprising of what he heard, and he couldn’t believe it. “The Devil Face has found this new angel ‘Henry’ at the Sillyvision Town and saved him from The Butcher Gang.”

“Yep!” Abel respond.

“Then he brought him to his home so he could take care of him and protected him from who every try to hunt him.”

“Yep!” Abel respond again.

“Are you f***king insane, and you believed this crip?” Axel said out loudly for not believed him.

“Look, I’m also in shock too and I couldn’t believe this either, but from what I saw! He did save his life...!” Abel said.

“But this doesn’t change anything, infact of what he had done in the past!?”

“Maybe that’s true, but... From the way I saw and the way I’ve known him over the years, it was totally unbelievable and unexpected. Benicio behavior has start to change since Henry arrived in this world, he became have a feeling through him and care so much about his safety more than himself... Ya should see the looks on his face how he reacted when he found out Henry has run of the house without telling anyone where he gone too.”

Axel didn’t say anything as he keep listening to Abel’s explanation.

“He fracked out and lost his temper since his disappearance. He could hardly eat or sleep or do anything else, other than search for him, but he went out of grief overwhelmed for not finding him... Ya saw his face clearly, would that surprise ya?!”

Axel wasn’t sure if he could or not?! As he cover his half face with his hand by feeling awkwardly and shocked after hearing this. As much as he hate demons, he can’t possibly believe that some unknown toon could easily change someone’s heart like Mod Boss the most powerful and dangers demon in ToonTown.

What exactly this angel had done to him?!

That moment it hit him; Axel had a flashback over few days... While he was working in graveyard to help the lost dead souls to get through the heaven, when he suddenly felt something inscrutable through his chest and it wasn’t like anything he ever felt it for so long and it feels familiar!! It was very powerful and unique energy, so as the other souls could felt it too, which caused them to run away and hide by feeling panic and fear.

Axel tried to calm them down along with his Boss The Grim Reaper, Spirit of Death had also tried to stop the souls from panicking. They were both not know what is going on...?! Until finally, the souls has start to calm down.

Axel was very confused and asked himself, what has just happened and where exactly did this strong energy comes from?

And when he found Henry, he recognize this energy and it was him no doubt of it, then he saw the glowing shine yellow radiant inside Henry’s chest. Try to describe of what it was! That he see something inside of him fueled his awful feeling which he couldn’t stand to see it... which he realized the cause and reasonable of having this strange feeling?!

“Abel, you said that time! Before you and Benicio arrived at the bar, you’ve suddenly sensed his energy from far was really powerful and strong that you have felt.” Axel asked confusing.

Abel place his hand on his head and sight heavily, “Yes...! It wasn’t like any energy that some toons could have it... His power is stronger than and he’s definitely different than any newborn toons. It could have caused him to death for not have any ability to control it, which’s what worries me...!” As he looked at Axel, know that looks on his face as he know something more that hasn’t told him yet. “Axel, is there something wrong? The way ya act, like ya have something ya had something in yar mind!”

Axel toke deep breath to say, “When I saved him from Charley, I looked through his heart and seen a glowing yellow radiant through him as it something I’ve never seen in my life.”

When Abel heard this, it shocked his mind of what his friend said, “W-What exactly did ya see?” He asked confusing.

Axel start explained, “I’m not so sure and it’s hard to explain, I’ve seen his heart sick with sadden, fear and rage, as I looked deeper and see this power feed up his feeling and it grow stranger... I try to see more, but it hurt my eye by looking at.”

“So, ya’re saying that his power grow stronger whenever he felt scared and angry... It’ll get even worse when it that happened.”

Axel nodded to his question, “Who is this angel and where did he come from?” Axel asked again.

“I have no clue, neither do Benicio and Dr. Boris... Which’s why we need to keep our eyes on him... Find out who he is and how he got here?!” Abel said with hopes.

Then suddenly the door is open, and the wolf walks out the room. The two angels stood up when they saw Dr. Boris came out the room with worried looks on his face. They’re having a bad feeling that something is wrong with Henry, as they approached to him and asked.

“Dr. Boris how is Henry, Is he okay?” Abel asked him with worries.

Boris took a deep breath and let it out to answer them. “He’s health not doing so well, I tried to ask him if he had any other pain, but he’s didn’t respond or get any attention to me...!” As he still speaks, he began to get upset and had tears in his eyes, “His condition is starting to get worse, and there is no other way to cure him...!” He said it, as he is taking overwhelming sadness and helplessness.

Axel gasped in shock as he saw his crashing wolf tears stream down to his face. He had never seen Boris’s cry like this for so long. Which he start to get nerves and worried that he doesn’t know how he could help to calm him down.

As he placed his hand on Boris’s shoulder and smiled to him nervously, “Please Mr. Boris... Don’t give up hope, you did everything you could to help him and make him feel better... There has to be other way and we’re willing to help, anything we could to heal him...!”

“It’s not that simple Mr. Axel,” Boris looked at him sadly, “Henry’s health isn’t doing so well, I’ve checked his nerve’s reaction and It turns out he had psychological trauma of sadness, fear, and hopelessness of living... And I accidentally saw a deep scar from his left wrist under his glove, pointing at something sharp and it became clear that he tried to commit of suicide...”

The two angels were in shocked of what they heard.

“D-Did he do this at Benicio’s home?” Abel asked in shock.

“No, the scar looks old and does not appear to be new.”

“So, he’s...! Totally heart broking as if he had lost someone’s close to him... and he didn’t wanna to live anymore.” Axel said in upset voice.

“Yes, which’s why I can’t do anything to him and it’s out of my skills.” Boris closed his eyes and start to feel sad and hopeless that he failed to save his close friend. Henry is very sweet, heart worming and greatest friend that he love to have.

The two angels didn’t say anything from feeling sad for Henry. How could this happen to him and what reason that made him like?!

Then Axel had the question in his thoughts, and he hoped for the right answer. “Mr. Boris, is this has to do about the woman name’s Linda!”

Boris’s ears picked up in shocked when he heard the name. “H-How did you know?” He asked wandering.

“He cried to her name and apologies for losing her necklace...!” Axel repeated back, but then...

“The Necklace!! Oh no, poor Henry...!” Boris cut him off in shocked, as he placed his hand on his forehead and sight.

“What in his necklace?” Axel asked.

“It had two wedding rings and the locker that has picture of him and his... (sigh) his deceased wife...” Boris said with sad sound.

Axel and Abel were shocked of what they heard from his last word.

“S-She died.” Abel asked nervously.

Boris nodded for him, “It was the first gift he gave it to her for their date, since her death he never took it off... It’ll make him feel comfortable to have her memories close to him... When he lost it, he’s been trying to search for it everywhere but to no avail.”

“So, that’s the reason why he took off and ending up in the hand of The Butcher Gang because of his lost necklace...!” Axel said as he understand the whole story from the begin and Boris nodded back to his question.

At that time Abel eyes were wide in horrified and shock, as his halo is melted above his head, standing awkwardly like a statue as he know he had in deep shit trouble and will regrate.

Axel had notice Abel behavior acting strangely, wandering what happened to him? He wave his hand over Abel’s face to see he’s responding but nothing! That had shock him and Boris of what happened to him?!

“Abel... Hey, Abel are listening...!” Axel griped Abel shoulder and shack him up to snap out of it... “ABEL...!”

“H-Huh... W-w-what!!” and finally Abel has snap out of his thoughts.

Axel sigh in relieve, “What happen to you? You suddenly went silent and standing still without moving, like you had a stroke. You scared the hell out of us, man! You’re, okay?!”

“Yeah... Yeah...!” Abel isn’t sure if he was okay because he felt guilt, regret, and stupidity of what he had caused, this whole situation is getting bad, and he need to fix it.

While Axel and Boris are tried to find away helping Henry in his health condition, “So anyways... What do you suggest we could do to help him?” Axel asked Boris.

“I-I... I don’t know Mr. Axel... I wish I know!!” Boris closed his eyes feeling sad and disappointed not knowing what to do.

“Um guys, I have something that it may help Henry to get better.” Abel interposed them.

Boris and Axel looked at him in shocked and awkwardly of what he said. Then Abel placed his right hand inside his pocket and pulled out the necklace right in front of them, which caused Boris’s eyes wide open in shock and surprised to see Henry’s necklace in his hand.

“T-Th... THAT’S HENRY’S NECKLACE!!!” Boris yelled and pointed his finger to the necklace, “W-Where did you find it?” He asked wandering not knowing what he could say.

“At that time when Benicio saved Henry from transformation!!” While Abel explained, he rubbed his back head nervously, “I picked up and... hided with me...!”

“You... WHAT!!” Axel shouted as his halo glow sharp wildly in rage, along with his sharp tooth grow like shark tooth about to attack his prey.

Abel raise his hands up to protect himself and stop his angry friend from attacking. “Woah... Woah... calm down bud, I can explain...!”

But Axel suddenly griped Abel’s shirt tight and looked to his eyes. “Explain of what... After what had happened to the poor guy, who’s almost get killed because of his wife necklace that you’ve toke. Have you even though what will happened to him when he realized he had lost it... No, I don’t think you even care and you never care about anyone but yourself... You piece of shit...!” He growled deeper in rage, near to Abel’s face.

Abel looked at him seriously and pressed his teeth, “I’m not a hardhearted person and I wouldn’t dare to harm anyone. This is my mistake and I’ll fix this...!”

“Oh, really and how are you gone fix him... Haven’t you done enough damage of hurting him...!” Axel still yelled at him.

“Axel, enough... just calm down...!” Boris quickly grabbed Axel’s shoulders and tried to interrupt to stop them from fighting.

“Calm down of what... after what he had done, there is nothing to be calm.” Axel said angrily.

“Look, I know for what he did was a big mistake and unforgiving... and I know that you’re worried about Henry’s health, but this arguing will not help us to solve this problem. So, just calm down and let him try if he can cure Henry!” Boris said tried his best to make the fallen angel understand and to calm his anger.

As Axel heard Boris’s interpretation, knowing exactly he’s telling the truth and trust him, but he isn’t sure if this could work to heal Henry’s heartbroken, but who knows... They’ll never knows if they can try.

“Fine!” Axel agree with Boris, then he looked at Abel seriously, “It better be work Angel Face, because if it doesn’t, I’ll kill you...!” He growl deeply and he relisted Abel’s shirt and push him away.

“Yeah, yeah... Whatever!!” Abel said while he fix his mess shirt.

“Hey guys... Is everything alright?” Just then Richy entering the room with Sammy beside him carrying the tray of hot warm soup bowl ready to serve.

“Y-Yes, Richy! Everything is okay...” Boris respond, then he smells the delicious food that made him mood relax and forgetting all the problem. “Mmm, that smells good... Did you guys make this!”

“Yes, Sammy help out to finish it fast...!” Richy said smiling to his friends.

“Let’s just hope Mr. Henry opens his appetite when he smell it!” Sammy said with hope.

Boris nodded his head to his words.

Everyone made their way to Axel’s room. Boris opened the door and seeing Bonicio on bed leaned his back on bed headboard with Henry sleeping in his lap, as the demon rubbed Henry’s hair gentle to let him sleep. When Bonicio suddenly heard the doors open and saw Boris entering the room with others behind him.

Boris looking at Bonicio and asked him quietly, “How is he?”

Benicio closed his eyes and shack his with sadden face, making Boris realized that Henry isn’t doing so well.

So, Boris needs to work fast as he approached to the bed side, sating down and placed his hand over Henry’s wrist, pet him gently to wake him up.

“Henry... Henry, wake up.” Boris said quiet calm.

Henry began to open his tired eyes from hearing Boris calling him. As he tried to get up, but he was too weak to move. Bonicio helped him rise carefully to let him sit.

“Hey buddy, sorry to wake you...” Boris said calmly and wave out to Sammy to give him the soup bowl, “Look, Richy and Sammy have made you some delicious soup. You need to eat first so you can take the medicine and get better.” Boris said with a weak smile, hoping that he’ll get eat.

But Henry didn’t respond, and his face look down, shack his head weakly that he doesn’t want to eat. Which made the wolf sigh heavily of being disappointed and heartbroken for lost hope to help him.

While Abel watching this, he couldn’t take this as he step forward and place his hand on Boris’s shoulder asking him to step aside and let him try. Then Boris nodded, stood up and move aside to allow Abel to take his place.

“Haya Henry... Do ya remember me?!” Abel said awkwardly.

When Henry heard the familiar voice, he left his head up to see who it was? He rubbed his eyes try to see him clearly which of course, Henry had forgot to put his glasses on. At the moment Benicio place the glasses on Henry’s face gently and let Henry’s sizes became clear to see Abel sitting right in front of him.

Henry remembered him back the Moon Bar, the same angel that was with Bendy, but Henry didn’t actually see his face, but he recognized his voice. When Henry saw Able’s face clearly, he was surprised to see the other angel looks like him, but he seems so... different then Axel!!

“Yeah, I can tell the way ya looking at me, ya haven’t seen my face yet.” Abel smiled, “And ya hadn’t know my name yet... My name is Abel... Abel the Angel.” He introduce himself and toke Henry’s hand to shack him.

Henry was very confused around this angel guy, but he doesn’t seem to be a bad guy after all.

Then Abel looked at him nervously and rubbed his back head, “Look I, uh...!” Abel try to courage himself to say something, “I have something that’s belongs to ya...!” He finally say it, as he put his hand in his pocket and appear the necklace in the palm of his hand.

Henry eyes were wide open as it start watery, his lips was trample in shocked of seeing his precious necklace saved unharmed. He took his necklace from Abel and hold it close to his chest. His tears start streamed down his cheeks along his melted halo above his head and his shoulders jerking up as he sobs.

“M... My... My l-love...” Henry choked out some words through his sods, “Y-You’re... save...!”

Benicio pulling his angel gentle into his chest to let him rest and sod, then he gently rubbed his back to keep him calm. As Henry hold his necklace tightly feeling relive and gladly of having his missing piece of his heart.

Then Henry sobbing began to cease, he wipe his tears off his eyes and looked at Abel with weak smile, “T-Thank you...!” He said with a weak voice.

“Uh?” Abel looked at him confusing.

“Thank you for returning it back... I-I thought... I have lost it forever...!” Henry said while he still try to stop crying.

Abel rubbed his back head as he felt his cheeks burning of getting embarrassed, “I... Ahem... No problem...!” Abel said trying not to blush.

But Benicio saw Angel Face is blushing as he smirked and laugh, “Heh... Bud, yar face turn red. Did my Doll really impressed ya!”

“One more word and I’ll smash that smirk off yar face.” Abel growl at him.

Everyone were very disappointed for those two, but they didn’t care, as they were laughing at them and glad to see Henry is okay when he had his necklace back.

Axel sees Henry’s reaction!! He wasn’t laughing at Benicio’s jokes; he was quiet while the others laughing... It seems he doesn’t have any sense of humor to laugh and smile like everyone.

Axel had curiosity of watching Henry’s behavior around the others, he appears to be shy, quiet, and very desperate. He asked himself of what had happened to him that made him heartbroken and unwilling of being a normal toon. There is something suspicious going on with him and there is something isn’t quite right that he needs to find out sooner...

“Well now! That you finally had your necklace back, how about you start eating your soup before it gets cold.” Richy broke the silent.

As they all agree with Richy, but Henry shack his head looked away refuses to eat.

Benicio didn’t like how Henry still refused to eat his food, so he have to do this by his way, “Sammy hand me the soup.”

“Yes, my Lord...!” Then Sammy gave him the soup bowl.

As Benicio had the soup, he griped the spoon with soup read to place on Henry’s mouth, “Come on Doll, ya need to eat the soup so ya can get better.”

Henry looked with weak eyes, “But... I don’t feel like eating.”

“Ya need to babe, or else I have to feeding ya myself.” Benicio sound serious.

Henry was shocked and his cheek turn red, as he about to crawl away, but he didn’t have a strength to move his weak body. “N-No, no need to... I-I can feed myself...!”

“Unfortunately, ya can’t...” Benicio looked at him seriously with sly smile, “Yar too weak to feed yar self. So, I’m gone have to feed ya as punishment for leaving the house without warning.”

Henry’s face became redder like tomato, he looked away try to hide his red face from him, “Bendy, please... This is so embarrassing.” He said nervous.

“Ya’ll get more embarrassed if ya don’t eat. Now open yar moth and say AAaaa...!!”

“BANDY!!!” Henry yelled at him.

“Okay, don’t say ‘Aaa’ just eat yar soup, so we can go home...” Benicio pleased him sounding worried. This made Henry notice, when he looked at Bendy’s face seeing deep sadden through his eyes. Then he look around and saw Boris, Sammy, Richy, Axel, and Abel were also had the same looks too.

Henry felt ashamed too himself for making everyone worried about him. Which made him feel scared and horrified of what he had done. Who could he let this happen, letting everyone worrying to a stranger they don’t even know... If they found out he is not from this world, they’ll probably gone hate him and kick him out of their lives, it was a big terrible mistake to come to this world. How could he do this to them, he never want to make anyone sad because of him and he shouldn’t be here.

He shouldn’t exist to this world.

Henry felt pain of fear though his chest, then the sadness had come to his heart gradually as he start to break down with tears running down his face.

“B-Bendy... I-I... I’m s-so sorry.” Henry said as his voice was trembling.

“Sorry... What are ya sorry about?” Benicio asked confusing.

“I-I... I have made t-terrible mistake to c-come here... I... I s-shouldn’t be existing in t-this world... I-I have caused s-so much trouble to you a-and the others... I... I’m so... s-sorry...” As the tears start too full.

Benicio was nearly incomprehensible of what Henry is trying to tell him?! So, he grasped Henry’s shoulder and look into his eyes, “Hen babe, just calm down and breath... very slowly...!”

As Henry listening to him, he toke a deep breath and slowly exhaling, “That’s it... just breath...!” Bendy is helping him to relax and continue to breath.

Then Henry began to cease. He rubbed his eyes and wiped the rest of his face with his palms, but his face still a little red from the tears. Then Benicio wiped away some tears that fell from Henry’s eye lids with his thumbs careful.

Then the silence was broken when Bendy spoke. “Ya feeling better now...!”

Henry closed his eyes and slowly nodded.

“Henry, I know ya want to tell me something, but yar scared to speak, fear that I’ll be mad at ya. No, Doll the only things that I care about is yar health and to be sure ya’re safe unharmed.”

Henry kept silence not sure how to respond.

It went unsaid that it would be discussed in a more private area. Henry was more likely to tell the truth when he didn’t have an audience. Which Benicio could see him look around him seeing everyone is looking at him, knowing that talking about it in front of everyone would only make things worse, “Don’t worry about them, ya can trust them too... They are so concern about yar condition health, and they want to help ya. So don’t stress Doll, you can tell us.”

It would be no use to delay that inevitable now. Henry’s stomach felt cold, knotted, and had a nasty taste in his mouth as he tried to swallow.

“I know that ya uncomfortable, but I cannot help ya unless you tell me the truth.”

Henry’s grip only tightened, “B-Bendy,” He could feel tears building but he blinked them away frantically, he refused to cry in front of everyone. “Bendy please... Don’t take this as it okay, I have been lying to you and Boris the hole time of being toon, but I-I... I’m not an angel, I’m not a good heart worm angel as I look... I’m a fake... I... I-I a human...!” He uttered his last word hesitantly as he confessed.

“What... What did ya say?” Benicio asked him to repeat again loudly.

“I’m A Human... A Real Human From The Real World.” Henry say out loud to release the secret he kept hidden to his chest for so long.

Everyone was in shock and horror of hearing unexpected answer. They couldn’t believe what Henry had said, that he’s a human from real world!! How could he possibly reach to the toon world...? This can’t be true... Isn’t it?!

Axel raised a brow is shocked from what he heard, as he stepped forward to his bed and looked at Henry confused, “Henry, you’re not making any sense of what you’re saying...! Are you absolutely sure that you’re a human... Because there no possibility that humans can easily enter the toon world.”

“No, I swear... I am a real human... I know it sounds crazy, but you have to believe me...” Henry mumbled as his fists clenched anxiously. “...Ask me anything... Whatever you want to know, and I promise I’ll answer it?”

Axel knew that his questions, there was no easy way to ask these types of things. It hurts him to see Henry this way, but the only thing he wants to do is help him.

“Who are you, for real?” Axel settled on, making sure his tone was soft and supportive. He wanted Henry to know that he was safe and that he wasn’t trying to accuse him of anything.

Henry took a deep breath, as he tried to find the words to explained everyone of what happened to him. “My name is Henry Stein, I’m an animator from Joey Drew Studios.”

Silence fell as things has gone into uncomfortable territory, and the answer was just as Benicio, Axel and Abel feared.

“A-Animater?” Boris’s eyes enlarged in shock.

“Y-You’re the animater... The creation of various cartoon characters.” Richy said in shocked disbelief in what he heard.

Henry nodded to their question.

“I-If... if you are the animater... Then, which cartoon did you create?” Richy mumbled in shock.

Henry didn’t know how he could describe the cartoon, then he had an idea... He asked anyone to give him a pencil and paper.

Axel handed him a pencil and a white paper.

The Henry set the pencil to the paper and began drawing the shapes, while Benicio watched him x do his work. His expression changed from every moment, and every part.

“This is my first creation in the studio.” He showed everyone his sketch of his original little demon darling.

Everyone was astonished of seeing Henry’s drawing, included Benicio that he sees himself in the paper, but he look different and cute... He was too short with black boots and white bow tie around his existent neck and the big wide smile.

“Ya... Ya’re my creator.” Benicio said, as he looked at Henry in shock. “Was I the only creation that ya made...!”

Henry shake his head as ‘No’ then he start again making other draws of his creations. Showing them his old draws of Boris and Alice.

When everyone see the drawing, they looked at Boris in shocked, realizing that the wolf is also his creation... Boris was totally is shocked and horror of knowing Henry is his creator and he also created Alice the Angel.

When Sammy saw the drawing! His eyes wandered in shock behind his mask of seeing the familiar drawing skills, it made his vision seeing a man that he knows so will. As he was about to speak, but something has happened to his voice box, he’s unable to say a word or making sound like someone has block his voice.

Benicio couldn’t believe this is happening at this moment!! He had his own creator all this time... So, now he is here with them, he had the chance to know everything about him.

“H-Henry... Why didn’t ya tell me that ya’re our creator?!”

Henry didn’t respond as he closed his eyes and squeeze his hands tightly in fear.

“Why didn’t you tell me, Henry?” Benicio repeatedly still look at him unpleased, as Henry still hasn’t answered while his body shaking to speak. “HENRY!!”

“I COULDN’T...!” Then Henry out of it loudly, with tears on his eyes.

“I-I just... couldn’t!! I-I was scared and... terrified to tell you who I am...?” Henry cross his arms around his chest to hugged himself and continue to speak, “T-This is all mistake... and it shouldn’t happen... My existence has been clear... A-And I have... cause so must trouble to everyone...!”

Boris put his hand on Henry’s shoulder, “Henry, calm down! We know you didn’t do anything wrong. We’re just in shock and surprised of what you had told us... But we’re so confused of how this happens to you, because it’s impossible for real human to come to our world and turned into a toon like us... How did this happen to you?”

“I-I think the Ink Machine is the reason of bring me here...!” Henry said.

“The Ink Machine!!” Richy said wandering.

“Is the machine that Joey had built it inside the studio to bring toon to life...”

“Woah, woah, wait... Joey... As your best buddy Joey that ya mentioned him before...!” Benicio asked shockingly.

“The one that you got angry at it... Yes!” Henry answer him.

As everyone looked at the demon awkwardly, which made Benicio sweat nervously as he shack his head to himself together. “Okay, Okay... Leave the past behind... So, anyways! Yar friend Joey... Is the one who built the machine. Then how could he possibly make the machine to bring toons to life.” He asked wondering.

“As I remember that I saw him working on the machine with his black book to make the ink do strange things inside it.” Henry said.

“Black Magic!!” Axel said furrily. “He must have used the magic at the ink.”

“But why would he do that and for what reason he needs the magic to create living toons?!” Boris asked uncomfortably.

“He said he can make a gold mine for the studio, if he brings all living cartoons to real world to make a lot of money.”

“WHAT...!!” Everyone shouted surprisedly of what they heard.

“Why would Joey do something like this?” Abel asked him.

“I-I don’t know... Joey has completely lost his mind, and I never thought he would go that far with his crazy ideas. I never knew why he was so obsessed by the ideas of bringing cartoons to real life, all that he wanted to make the studio the best places over the world and earn money... Joey had drag me into this, saying he found a way to make our dream come to live, but I couldn’t believe him and nor he understand what he was doing... This is totally insane and terrible mistake of what he did.” Henry explain.

“If it was mistaking, then why are ya here in the first place?” Abel asked suspicion.

“It wasn’t my wish to be here, and I couldn’t believe this will ever happen to me...!”

“Then how did that happen and how did you get here?” Axel asked.

“Uhh... I...” Henry stuttered trying to find the words to explain further. “An accident had happened... all I did was to get more ink from Joey, but the machine caused a tube to swell to much ink and it led to an explosion and caused the ink leakage around the floor... I try to escape, but... I felt something is grip my legs tight... A-And drowned me through the ink puddle... I-I fell into the depths and then... I-I...!”

“And then what?” Richy asked.

Henry’s body start trembling by a horror flash memory came through, he toke deep breath and sigh out slowly to continue, “While I falls into a darkness, I felt my entire body burning like hot acid pouring over my skin and it rupture me apart piece by piece...!” Hot, wet, and inky tears run down his face when he remember of watches his arms melt into a puddle. “I-It felt really painful as it try to eat me alive.”

Everyone eyes widened a bit shocked from the words that Henry had told them.

“That... Is something unexpected!!” Richy said as he sound terrifying by Henry’s story.

“I never thought this could happen to the ordinary human if they tried to reach to our world.” Axel said curiously.

“It’s a miracle that Henry have survived through this.” Boris said with worried.

Abel had a lot of question to asked, but he need to ask him simple question, so he won’t get Henry upset, “Henry, I have a question to ask, and it’s gone be hard for ya answer it! Before ya awake to this world. Do ya see something strangely when ya fall into the ink?!” He asked.

Henry wasn’t sure, all he could remember pain and darkness surround that he didn’t want to remember it, but then!! “I remember, there was... A glowing light come out to darkness, and it tried to reach out to me and then... everything turn black!” He felt pain in his head while he try to remember.

“A glowing light...!” Axel whispered to himself surprisedly, could it be... He was confused as he asked himself would it be the caused this be of what saw through Henry’s chest. If it is, then...! Where did it come from and why him?

As Henry looked at Benicio with worried and fear, as looked down to his shaking hands, “Bendy please be honest with me... What exactly had happened to me... I-I feel different when it happen as I’m not myself anymore... Please tell me, what I-I have become?” Henry bagged him with are teary eyes.

Benicio isn’t sure how he can explain to him; he’s exactly doesn’t know the answer and how did this happen, as he could see Henry’s face scared and terrified from himself thinking that he would hurt everyone if he lost control again.

Benicio order Boris, Sammy, and Richy to leave the room to let him speak with Henry personally, but the angels are stay with him.

And while the others left the room, the demon toke a deep breath and start explained, “Henry, when ya lose consciousness ya’ve transform into a Seraphim an angelic being and super-natural beings who were created by God to serve and worship.”

“W-What...!!” Henry asked in shock.

Benicio rubbed back his head and start speaks, “I know it’s... Kind a hard to explained, but none of us know how this happened and why? yar power is unlike any toons who had possessed and it’s high level that no one could handle it, which of course it could get worse when its awake and when that happened it’ll cause ya... Uh...!” He stop for a moment to find a word to say, but just couldn’t say.

Henry looked at him in horror knowing the answer is gone be bad, “I-It could... kill me!”

Benicio couldn’t answer him back, but Henry needs to know the truth. So, he gave him weak nodded of his answer.

“I-Is there anyway... To make it stop or... remove it.” Henry mumbled in broken voice.

“I’m afraid not, Henry...!” Axel interfere, he explain instead of Benicio, “You’ve already possesses this power, and it will be difficult for you to understand how you can master it, which’s why you need to figure this out soon or it will get even worse than before.”

“What will... happened if it gets worse?” Henry asked nervously.

Then Abel explained to him, “It will cause damage to yar brain, that you wouldn’t be unable to control yourself and ya won’t realize what ya have done. Ya may feel sever pain and high fever all over yar body. It’ll be too risk to hold it back when it comes.”

Henry felt desperate and fear over what he heard. Is this his fate of what will happen? He will not be able to return to his world if he die here, and he will not be able to fulfil his dream and wish that he made for to become a great animator and to make Linda proud of him, but it seems he’ll never get out of there alive, and he won’t be able to reveal the whole truth about what his life will be in the future.

Then suddenly Henry felt Benicio hand place on his jowl and raised his head gentle to look at him! He sees his smile getting nervous as he tried to hide his worries, “Hey, don’t have to worry about a things Doll, everything will be okay, ‘cause ya wouldn’t doing this on yar own, ya have me, Boris, and Angel face beside ya. We’ll help ya to get through this.”

Henry closed his eyes and said, “And if... doesn’t work... You’ll gone lock me up If I couldn’t control it...!”

“WHAT NO, No way... why do ya think I w...!” At this moment Benicio eyes were wide open in shock that he realized of what Henry is saying, “Wait... Y-Ya know... Ya head everything...!”

Henry got nervure as he started to explain, “I-I was just... trying to find you, but I didn’t know where your office is. When I suddenly heard someone shouting inside the room, I get close to and heard your voice there talking with someone and then I... overheard everything...!”

Benicio and Abel were shocked that Henry had heard their conversation and discussed about him. When Henry found out about this, he got panic and leave the house in hurry that explained the reason why he left.

“H-Henry look, what ya heard isn’t exactly what ya think!” Benicio smiled nervously as his sweat ink link down to his forehead, “The Angel Face and I aren’t agreeing with this, we still tried to decide what we can do to make ya better.”

“Bendy just stop...! Stop pretending that you’re helping me because this would never happen.” Henry said loudly to make him stop talking. He knew what Benicio would say, however. Adults have fooled him in the past, saying things like they “Loved him” or “They wouldn’t leave him alone anymore.” But in the end, he always finds himself abandoning in loneness.

“Henry, please just let me...!” As Benicio is about to reach his hand out, but Henry quickly back away from him, clearly sobbing now.

“No! Don’t touch me... Stay away!” Henry choked on his own sob.

“H-Henry!!”

“Y-You just trying to confuse me... That everything will be okay, but it will never be... Y-You’ll get tired of me and leave... J-Just like the other people did...!” He rambled.

Abel and Axel looked at each other with shocked and surprised of what Henry said. Something is wrong with him and it’s getting worse, they can feel it.

“Henry, What are ya saying? Why ya thing that I’ll...!” Benicio tried to calm him down.

“NO! Leave Me Alone!” Henry cried loudly.

Out of sudden his old memoire had shown, then he heard rusty voices through his head made him cover his ears (Which of course, he doesn’t have ears.) try to ignore them, but they keep coming...

‘You’re useless...’

‘Pathetic...’

‘You’re disgusting...’

‘No one wants you...’

‘You don’t deserve to live...’

‘You’re nothing...’

“No, nononono... This is not real... This is not real... Go away!!”

“Henry, what’s wrong... are ya okay?” Abel asked with worried.

“Henry...!”

“LEAVE ME ALONE...!” Henry screamed in fear and his eyes wide open start glowing yellow. Then his heart beating fast and the heat spread all over his body, which made his skin boiling from the heat making the ink evaporate with hot steam and his halo is melted above his forehead along with his sweat and tears storm down his face.

Benicio, Abel, and Axel suddenly felt the familiar energy hitting them as he back away and cover them with their arms. They looked at Henry realization his heat is rise up and his body starting to melt, which mean he’s about to transform... It’s about happened... Again.

‘Oh, no.... No, no, no... Please not again...!’ Henry said to himself, he breathes heavily trying to hold himself harder to control his transforming, but the pain still there and it’s getting worse... ‘P-Please... stop... I... I-I have to control it... I-I h-have to...’ He can feel the buns though his heart very hard and his eyes gets heaver as he about to lose consciousness very soon.

‘H... Hen... H-Henry...!’

Henry heard someone calling him, but he unable to recognize the voice and he felt something wrap around his arms and shoulder.

“Henry... Stay awake...!” That voice belong to Abel.

“Calm yourself, boy... Try to breath...!” It’s Axel.

“Henry babe... I’m here for ya... Try to hold it back...!” He can hear Benicio close to him, sound worried and panic.

Henry shack his head very hard, “I-I can’t... I... I-It’s hurt so much a-and... I-I feel burns... inside of me... I-I don’t think I can make it...I-I’m s-scared... P-Please... help me!” He breath so fast that he couldn’t hold out any longer.

“Shit!!” Abel swear under his breath, he quickly took off his coat using it to cover Henry’s body. As he’s an angel like him, he wouldn’t get burn from the heat, he wrapped his arms around Henry to calm him down and hold him tight, then Axel join him to assist as he also wrap his arms around Henry’s shoulder to hold him.

“N-No... W-What are you guys’ d-doing... s-stay away... Y-You get hurt!” Henry speak weakly when he realized what they were doing.

“We’re not leaving, bud...!” Abel said as he closed his eyes tried to hold the heat.

“Try to keep yar emotion calm and fight back...!” Axel hiss under his breath of feeling burning stings from his skin.

“I-I... Ahhhh!” Henry about say, but he felt sharp pain through is chest.

Then in blue Bendy get close to him and gripped Henry’s face to looked at him and focus on him. “Ya can do this, Henry... Listen to them, ya wouldn’t be unable to control it if you don’t calm yar emotion, fear and anger will make it stronger and even worse.” He hiss in pain from hotness by touching Henry’s skin, but he still holding him not letting him go.

“B-Bendy... Stay away... I-I don’t wanna hurt you...!”

“NOOO...! NO WAY IN HELL THAT I’ll LET YA SUFFER ALONE,” Benicio yelled out loud sound very upset and angry. His eyes became wide red along with his inky tears falls. “JUST ‘CAUSE YA CARE ABOUT EVERYONE SAFTY, DOESN’T MEAN YA DON’T DESERVE TO LIVE...! I’M AIN’T GOOD ENOUGH TO HANDLE THIS SHIT? DID YA EVER THINK WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO ME IF YA LEFT ME BEHIND...!”

That shocked Abel and Axel of hearing Benicio words. He never showed his emotion to anyone even Boris. It appears the ink demon has a strong feeling through his creator Henry from beginning, but after he knows the truth of who he is! He still had a faith on him, and he want him to stay badly.

Henry clench his eyes shut tried to handle the pain, “B-Ben-dy... I-I... I-I don’t... t-think I can...!”

“Yes, ya can, I’m here for ya... We all here and we won’t leave ya...” Benicio place his forehead to Henry’s head to be close to him, as while Henry doing his best to listen to him.

Henry’s breathing started to ease and his body temperature back to normal. Henry couldn’t believe this is happening and he almost hurt everyone around him....

He sees Able, and Axel faces were cover with melted ink and also Benicio who had got burnt on his hands and his half face melted from his forehead down to his face. He got shocked and terrified of what happen to him.

“Bendy, Abel, Axel... I-I’m so sorry... I didn’t mean...!”

“Shhh... It’s okay Doll, don’t worry about us... More importing that ya’re fine.” Benicio smiled happily of relief to see his angel alright and he didn’t care about his injures.

Abel and Axel were also relief the worst part is over, but they need to be more careful next time. They wipe their ink sweat from their heads and faces.

Henry look at his friends with worried, “I’m very sorry, guys... I-I don’t know what came over me. All the sudden I had this bad memories from my past... It just... came to me and it scares me...!” As he looked to his shaking hands, “It’s felt like it try to take over me... and put anyone in risk a-and cause... harm and damage to this world...!” It made his body trembling in pain or fear, neither he could tell.

“We’re okay Henry... Axel and I can handle this heat, after all we’re angels like ya, so don’t worry about it.” Abel said calmly, as he wiped his ink from his face.

“Huh, I never thought you can be that powerful, but now I do.” Axel sigh heavily.

Axel looked through Henry’s chest where his heart is, sees his heart sick is weak and energy is lighting up slowly, but all the suddenly it grow fast as his power has full recover in second, but his still hasn’t heal. It surprised the fallen angel of what he saw.

“Did ya see any change in him?” Abel whispered to Axel.

“His power was low, but in second it back to normal, but his heart hasn’t healed, it appear that he hasn’t letting all his feeling out, which mean that he’s still carrying pain and sadness inside of him.” Axel explain as he had a feeling that Henry didn’t tell them the whole story about himself.

“He must have a dark secret that he didn’t tell Benicio about it, which explain why he break out...!” Abel said with worried.

“Maybe, but in a mean time we don’t have push to him further... He needs a time to calm himself and when he feels better, he’ll be ready to talk.” Axel said.

“Agree!” Abel said.

Henry felt exhaustion and tried, but he didn’t want to close his eyes, afraid that he might have a bad dream again. Benicio could see his angel eyes are getting heavy means that he’s tried, but he tried to keep himself awake.

“Henry, do ya want to rest...!” Benicio asked, but Henry immediately shack his head refuses.

“Then how about ya eat first then ya can rest a pit.” Benicio asked again as he place his hands on Henry’s hands.

As Henry is about to speak, but he stopped when he saw the burns on Bendy’s hands. He pull his hands from him and looked away not facing him, “Why... Why are you doing this for me? Why are you risking your live to help me? What did I do to make you care so much about me... I may look like a real angel from the outside, but from inside I’m still a human...!”

“Yes, I know that ya’re human, but deep down ya still Henry that I know... or not that much, but I still trust ya.”

Henry mulled this over, but he didn’t look surprised at the question, rather he expected it to come up eventually.

“It’s true that you don’t know me, because my life hasn’t been the same since Linda’s death, I lost my talents to create next chapters for show and the studio that I’ve work hard for is about to lose fame because of me...!” Henry was practically in tears as it hurt to say it out loud and it was something he never told anyone before.

“I’m scared of feel pain and heartbroken again. I’m scared of hurting people that I care... I don’t want to die along...! I have no one, I-I’m alone...!” Henry whispered. Saying it out loud hurt, even though he’s always known it was true.

While Abel and Axel listening, they understand that Henry was all alone and have no one back home. It was disturbing to hear as Boris had already told them before that it wasn’t a pretty tale of what he heard from him.

Bendy place his hands on Henry’s cheeks to look at him seriously, “Dolly, ya’re not alone... Not any more ya have me and Boris and ya’ll never be heartbroken as long as ya need me to stay by yar side, ‘cause I care about ya and I know ya’ll never hurt me or anyone with yar power. Ya’re smart and brave to fight back, all ya needed is to trust yarself and let me help ya...!”

“How... How are you gone help me after I almost...!” Henry couldn’t say, “I don’t want to hurt you...!”

“Ya’ll never hurt me Hen, ya did manage to stop the transformation ‘cause we helped ya.” Benicio comforted, hold his hands on Henry’s hands tight, “Running away won’t help ya to fight this power, ya need our help to solve this...! Together, we can figure out how to control it... And find out what caused it, then everything will be alright... I promise.” He admitted, as he wrapped his arm in hug and the other hand in his hair. Bendy placed his face against Henry’s head to feel his soft hair touching his face.

Henry put his face into Bendy’s chest hug tightly and let his tears run out freely to let out his emotions came bursting out all at once.

“Thank you, Bendy!” Henry whispered weakly in his breath.

When Able looked at Henry’s face, his brain snapped in pain of flash memory came back by seeing his own reflection to himself through Henry’s face... The same Fear, pain and helpless that happened to him back in prison of the studio, making his body tremble along with his wings and his golden halo melted above his head.

He realized that Henry is like him, afraid of being alone and losing someone close to him. It’s really brecks his heart and made him understand that Henry really needs help, but he isn’t sure how he can help.

Abel suddenly felt a hand placed on his shoulder, he turn his head back and see Axel looked at with smile on his face, telling him that everything in gone be okay and he’s willing to help Henry to be better...!

Then Abel smile back to him and nodded happily to thank him.

BATIM - Fallen Angel
Chapter 12

The sound of the shower faucet made a squeak sound. The water came rushed out from shower head, running down at Henry’s face. He brushes his white hair back with his hands and letting the warm water pour down his body. He let out sigh and humming to feel relax and comfort to have a shower for so long.

After sitting in the shower, Henry turned the water off. He took a white towel right outside of the shower set ruffling his wet hair and wrapped his half body with bath towel, “Now that was refreshing...!” He said to himself as he sigh heavenly for feeling relieve to be clean.

He looked himself in the mirror’s bathroom, seeing his wound shot on his shoulder is healing and the bruises were gone. He sighs relieve thankfully Boris has help him to recover, but the only things that upset him was the scars on his left wrist.

It disturbs his memories making his heart quake. He looked at it for a while. No matter how much he tried to end his life to leave this cruel world to be relieved ftrom the pain and sadness that he been suffered for a long time, but it didn’t work as if he thought it would.

But then he look again, seeing his own reflection as a toon angel would it change his life and move on as it nothing had ever happen to him... No... This isn’t what he ask for and he shouldn’t be here in the first place.

He have already caused to much treble for everyone included his Bendy. He didn’t want to upset him or hurt his feeling... He cared about him, and he want to see him happy, laughing and dance, as he always dream of him.

The imagine of Benicio’s form, made the angel’s cheeks turn red and his heart bumping fast.

Henry snap his thoughts and shake his head, ‘Don’t think about it, Henry... Just get over it...’ He said to himself trying to forget it.

As Henry open the door and walking through his room to get dress up. But he suddenly stops when he felt shocked pain from his head and his eyes were glowing yellow.

He was standing in dark place, felt familiar as he back again to this strange vision. The place was silence and made him feel uncomfortable.

It was just a dead feeling...

BUMP!

Henry heard something the sound of flinched, he started to cling onto his towel tighter. His mouth opened to speak but no sound came through.

Henry started to tremble a bit. His heart raced faster.

Dangerous...

The engravement on his ink skin.

Henry started to panic in such a vulnerable state. He hated to think that he would stumble upon him.

His body started shivering like crazy unable to move or back away. His wings are shaking, and he felt drops of his ink roll down over his face. His vision started to darken. It was like he was starting to have a panic attack.

And then.

There it was.

He can’t tell if it isn’t real, yet he feels like he is.

“N-no, no! Go away!” Henry shrieked.

The dark monster came closely, placed the large hand over the angel’s mouth, drew near to his neck and sniffed him. “I’m so pleased you smell nice for me.” Said it in deep horror voice. Then it looks at him with a whit sharp tooth smile on his face. “Soon... You’ll be mine...!!”

Henry felt like he had lost control, tried to free himself from grip. His breathing became more rapid as he saw the monster faces everywhere. The room was spinning. A cold sweat kept forming onto Henry’s forehead. Feeling detached from reality, he cried harder until... Someone came from behind griped his shoulder.

Henry screams of torment left his lips, “NOOOOO, LET ME GO!!!” He quickly turns around tried to move away and used his fist to hit it, but the figure is still holding him tight.

“HENRY!! HENRY, WAKE UP!!”

“NO... N-NO PLEACE... ST-STAY AWAY!! LEAVE ME ALONE” Henry shrieked still fighting to get away.

“Henry Stop... It’s me!!”

When Henry heard the deep and worried sound, he opens his eyes to looked up and see his demon Bendy is looking at him with worried looks on his face.

Henry looked around realized that he’s still in his room. Was it a realistic hallucination? Due to all the trauma Henry has went through. It keeps him see terrible imagining that never happened.

Was its illusion!!

Henry placed his face on Bendy’s chest to calm his rapid heartbeat and lack of his breath. While Bendy wrapped his arms over his angel’s back to comfort him and hold him carefully to let him rest close to his chest.

“Ya okay, babe?” Bendy asked with worries.

Henry nodded back.

“What just happen? Did ya have another vision!”

“T-The monster was here, Bendy... I-It talk to me... a-and... watching me...!!” Henry said with tears, he looked back to see if the creature is still there.

“He is!!” Benicio eyes were wide in shocked.

“I-It was real... The creature has grip m-my face... I-I try to scream, but I c-couldn’t... I couldn’t control my b-body... and... a-and...” Henry couldn’t speak by feeling his throat tightness in fear.

“Hey, hey... Shhh... It’s okay, calm down...” Benicio whispered and hugged him gently to calm him down.

The demon could feel Henry growing weak, as his body start shaking along with his wings. Benicio felt his cheeks getting red awkwardly by seeing Henry is wearing only a towel. He looked away tried to hold himself from blushing.

Benicio lifted the angel off the ground carefully not to let the towel fall. Then he set him on the couch and laid his knees down to face him, “Hen, looked at me!” He said calmly.

Henry respond, as he looked at him with wet tears drops down his cheeks.

Benicio took out his napkin from his pocket and wipe his angel’s tears off. “Everything is gone be okay, Doll!! I’m here for ya and I won’t let anyone to harm ya... I promise!!” Benicio griped Henry’s hands and gently kissed his cheek, then he looked at him with a big smile.

After hearing Benicio voice and wipe away his tears. Henry’s face blushed and feel butterflies swarming in his stomach, that made him happy and relieve that his demon being here for him.

When Benicio looked to Henry’s cute face getting red, he couldn’t resist of watching his angel behaver, but then he saw Henry held his towel closely to his chest, he was in shocked and surprised that the angel is still naked.

The demon face start getting red like tomato and his mind going wild... He quickly look away and rubbed back his head to hide his red face and tries to control his wild madness.

“Uh, Ahem... S-Speaking of which, ya should get dressed to get ready for lunch.” Benicio speak nervously.

When Henry heard what Benicio said, he frightened noticing the fact he hasn’t dress up yet. He grabbed himself around his chest, “I... Uh... Y-You’re right...” Henry said, as he felt his face heat up from embarrassment. “C-Could you please... leave, so I can get dress...!”

“Ah... Yes, Of course!” Benicio agreed.

As he stood up to walked out the room, but he stopped and turn his face back, “Ya know Doll! I surprised by something I didn’t know...!” Benicio said with smirked smile.

“Huh!!” Henry stared at Benicio, wandering what he is saying?!

“Ya’re look sexy and hot that I wanna eat ya...!” When Benicio say this...

Henry throw a pillow to hit Benicio’s face, but he dodged it and left the room laughing.

“PERVERT!!” Henry shout at him, as he got heat up of shyly and cover himself with his wings to hide. “Stupid demon...!!” He said to himself as his face blushed madly.

Outside beside Henry’s door...!

“Soooo, Beauty...!” Benicio lay his back on the wall, placing his right hand on his chest pressed tight feeling his heart betting fast and smile wider, as his eyes were shaped into heart. He felt his face burning with hearts flow above his head dancing with joy and crush by seeing this sexiest angel that he ever seen.

Out of the Street:

After having lunch, Benicio took Henry out for drive to the public park where they’re gone meet Abel the Angel there. Abel is going to teach Henry how he can control his power and learn about toons ways.

Henry is a little tense about this; he had lot of thoughts in his mind that he wishes to know, but it would be difficult and hard for him to get the answers, while he isn’t sure what he’ll ask... Henry stayed quiet and low his head not looking at his demon or outside the window’s car.

Benicio could see his creator face down?! He noticed that he’s worried and frighten of using his power. He could tell by the looks through Henry’s eyes that he never wants to have this power, which of course, it wasn’t his fault of what he had become...

Flashback in Benicio house:

A few weeks ago, while Henry still hasn’t recovered yet!! Benicio in the office with Abel discussion about what they’re gone do about Henry. The two of them are smoking cigar as usual, making them relax and focuses.

Henry had already told them the truth of who he is and how he came to their world, but they had a feeling that Henry is still hiding something and didn’t want to tell them. So, now they must try and think of the plan to keep him safe and figure out the way to control his power.

It would be very difficult for them to understand it. They have never faced this challenge before, and it’s their duty to handle this situation before it happened again.

“So... What’d ya think?” Benicio speak with cigar in his mouth.

Abel blows out the smoke in the air and speak, “I can’t say for sure; Henry’s power is very difficult to learn and too risky to use if he doesn’t fully control it...! Which worries me, of course... We need to keep our eyes on him, incase if he had those weird visions again, it’ll cause him a pain and drain his energy making him weak and lose consciousness.” Abel said calmly.

Benicio couldn’t agree more, he know Abel had the experience to help new creature and studies their powers, but this one is new to him, which he asked Axel to help him out.

“What should we do first?” Benicio asked.

“He need to know more our toon’s way and teaching him how to fight back so he can defend himself, and we should inform him about bad toons in town that he needs to stay away, and ya know exactly whom I talking to!?” Abel said as he looked at the demon’s eyes seriously knowing what he meant.

Yes of course, Benicio knows that... He had a lot of enemies, as he’s the highest and famous Mafia Boss in Toon Town’s, but there is one toon who’s tried to ruin his work and make him lives in nightmares.

His business rival is Mr. Moon, who’s willing do anything in his power to gain control any business that’s runs by other fames Mod’s in Toon Towns. As a rookie has the brains out-smart and out-with the most cunning of mobsters.

Mr. Moon was a long time ago the former Co-owner of the Twin Moon Bar, and twin brother to Moon Man. But when certain circumstances landed him in jail, Moon Man was left to run the bar on his own. After escaped from jail he made himself one of Toon Town’s most powerful mobsters, claiming territory over nearly half of Toon Town’s upper section only within a few short years after his escape.

He and Mr. Moon are consistently butt heads. Mr. Moon wants his crown and Benicio wouldn’t let that happen and it’ll stay on his head. As we said. Mr. Moon is a man who is willing to do a lot of things to get what is rightfully to his.

“I ain’t gone let this asshole get his hand on him, I’ll personally cut his hands of if he ever touch him?!” Benicio blows his smoke out hard from his mouth showing his sharp teeth growled in anger.

Abel smirked at his partner as he’s in bad mood and ready to murder someone, “Hehe... Sure, that would be easy for some crazy rookie who wanted to steal and destroy anyone that’s standing his way. Which of course, ya’re the worst of all.”

“I don’t f***ing care, as long as he wouldn’t shows his ugly’s face in my town?!” Benicio growled in his breath.

“Well, on the bright side, Henry is safe here with ya and ya don’t need to worry about this guy. Ya just need to keep yar business steady in game gain. Also, ya need to keep yar creator out of the gain...!” Abel said as he continue smoking.

At this moment, Benicio’s face suddenly has change into shock and panic. His sweat ink began to link down to his face and his right hand that hold his cigar is trembling. When Abel saw the demon behave has change, he notice from his actions that something isn’t right, and this is not reassuring.

“Hey, what wrong?” Abel asked as looked at him wondering.

“Uh, hehe... Y-Ya see I... ‘gulp’...” Benicio voice shakes with tension and ink sweat down his forehead, “T-That’s the other problem... Hehe...”

Abel looked at him confused, didn’t get what the demon try to say, then he finally understand, “Wait, ya didn’t...!” He said awkwardly and then. “YA’RE F***ING IDIOT...!” He yelled angrily at Benicio’s face. “He has been with ya over a month and he still not knowing that ya’re Mafia Boss in Toon Town... How can ya be so stupid for not telling him...!”

“I thought that he knows...!” Benicio said in sudden, “But when Boris told me that Henry has asked him about my business! He was in shock too and he wasn’t sure if he could tell him the truth or not.” He rubbed his back feeling nerves.

“And what did he tell him?” Abel asked as he waited for the answer.

Benicio was very nerves as his sweat ink link over his forehead, not knowing what he can tell him, “Well, Hehe... It’s... Kind a funny things, ya know... AAAAand I don’t think ya’re gone like...!”

“SPIT IT OUT...!” Abel shouted at him.

“He Told Him That I Am The Head Of Factories.” He say it out loud.

The room has run cold, as the angel looked at Benicio awkwardly silence in shock and the demon was trembling sweat waited for the worse.

“ARE. YA. F****ING. KIDDING. ME!!!” Abel yelled in rang as his halo shine so bright and spread his wings like an eagle attacking its prey.

“What do ya expect, Boris is a bad liar, and he couldn’t think of any plans to tell him. Which of course, Henry will freak out if he know the truth about my action’s crime.” Benicio said.

“Uh, well that’s fantastic, genius... and what will happen if he knows the truth? Have ya ever thought about this, ya dumbass.” Abel said angry at the demon.

Benicio stood silent, looked away with a sorrowful face, “I... I-I don’t know?!” He admitted, as he felt tightness in his throat and placed his hand on his face feeling horrible for lying to his angel.

“Well, ya better tell him soon. Cause things will get ugly...” Abel cross his arms around his chest and looked at him with series face. “...and who knows what will happened if he knows about yar...”

“I CAN’T TELL HIM...!” The demon cried loudly at the angel with tears in his eyes.

Abel’s eyes wide in shock over the demon reaction all the sudden, “W-What?!” He asked confusing.

“I-I... I just can’t him the truth.... I’m... I’m scared...!” Benicio admit it over him.

“What are ya saying...!?” Abel didn’t get this.

“I’m... Scared to tell him what truly I am... He seems happy and relive knowing that he’s in save place with me and he trust me deeply... But I don’t wanna see the fear and hatred from him if he know the truth... What if he rejected me for being an evil or worse...! I don’t wanna lose him.”

Abel knows what he meant, and it wasn’t his fault of what he had become. “I understand, buddy... it is painful of what yar Pop’s and Alice has done to ya in the dark past...” He placed his hand on Benicio’s shoulder and looked at him in the eyes. “But Henry trusted ya and he wouldn’t never hate ya... If ya really want him to stay and gain yar trust... Then do the right things, help him to heal his broking soul and show him that ya care for him.”

When The demon heard what the angel said, he took a deep breath and calm down. Then he looked at him with smile on his face, “Ya’re right... Our relationship will get stronger, then his pain and fear will get through... I’ll do everything I can to help him.”

“That’s the Devil Boy I know...!” Abel said shire full as he used his fist to punch Benicio’s shoulder to spur him.

Flashend:

As Benicio was waiting for traffic light to go, he looked at his side seeing Henry still remains silent looking through the window with sad looks on his face. He needs to break this awkward silence.

“Doll!” Benicio calling him, but he didn’t respond.

“Hen!” Again, no respond.

“Hen... HENRY!” He yelled until the angel respond in shock.

“Huh, w-what!?” Henry was in shock and confused of what had happened.

“Doll, ya have been quiet for quiet long, and ya didn’t answer me... is there something bothering ya?!” Benicio asked with worried.

“I-I...!” Henry was a bit nervous of what had happened, as he wasn’t sure what he was doing, “I’m sorry Bendy, is just that I still try to get use to this new life as a toon, but every time I looked into a mirror and asked myself ‘Is This Really Me...! Is This who I am’” He placed his hand on his face try not to get upset and cry in fount of Benicio, “In my dream, I’ve seen the image of my human face has melted and I can’t see myself as Henry Stein anymore... I feel like I’ve lost my personality and my existence...!”

Benicio can understand how his angel feeling of being different person in this body, it is kinda creepy and scary for him to become a toon like them.

And of course, Benicio wouldn’t let that happen. As He put his right hand on Henry’s cheek to rub gently and make him feel comfort.

When Henry felt the hand touch his cheek, he looked up and see Benicio look at him with smile, “Hey, ya don’t have to worry about it, Doll... This is just a beginning to learn more about us and I know ya can do this; besides ya’re my creator and I know ya’re very smart to handle this.”

“H-How...!” Henry asked confusing.

“Well, that’s simple...! Ya’re the animater and ya know everything what toons can do. So now ya’re toon and ya have the ability to create anything in your mind, that ya can discover yar own weapon in yar space pocket as maybe gunshot, hummer, or anything ya can use with yar special attack. Angel Face will teach ya everything about angels’ way, then ya could...!” As Benicio still continue an explanation, but then...

“Woah, wait... Special attack, weapons!!” Henry said in shock, of course he doesn’t like deadly weapon, “But Bendy I’m animated not a fighter, and I don’t have to kill or hurt anyone even if I have to protect myself.”

“Hen, babe, listen to me...! It’s very importin for yar own safety against the danger toons,” Benicio looked at him with serious face, “And ya should know in Toon World is a big wasteland of violence with many different toons living as Mafia gangs, murderers and criminals are out there hunting, steal and murdering anyone if they didn’t get pay. Money and power is the types that can harm the innocent to get what they want. Which’s why ya need to be more careful if ya run up to them.”

“Is... Is it really that serious and necessary to learn this...!” Henry was surprised.

“Yes Doll, I know is sound scary and cruel but if ya show any weakness to them, they will eat ya alive, like the guy with ugly face call himself Mr. Moon, that ya need to stay away from him.”

“Mr. Moon! His name sound like a...!” Henry said wander.

“No, not Moon Man the bartender, the other guy...!” Benicio intrepid him, then his mode change into anger, “He’s a criminal and thief... He’s the worst and nasty guy that I wish to smack his ugly’s smile until he lose all his tooth...”

Benicio stop talking as he realize what he just said, he look back to see Henry twist his head in confusion over watching his behavior while he was talking about the guy he never meet. That made Benicio sweat embarrassment from his reaction in front of his animater.

“I-I... Uh, hehe... W-What I meant to say is?! Ya just need to stay away from him, and I’ll explain the rest later, okay babe!!” Benicio said as he continue to drive.

Henry sigh in his breath that he didn’t like of what he heard at all, but he wouldn’t say anything until he finds out on his own.

Well, that wasn’t what he expected in his mind! Henry could still remember all the details of his chapters and ideas for Bendy’s characters show, he would have met or heard about the other animaters how is working on new toons in the studio, but it seem that Joey has made the decision on his own without telling him. Joey should have told him that, and even all the workers in studio knows this for sure.

Joey could have told him the idea of new characters, but it seem he forgot while he is focus on his machine that has sending him into this world. And of course, Henry has understood from this situation in Toon world which he need to be more careful with staple part of being cartoon gags and that made him even more nervous and scared to be around them...

But he felt safe and reassured with Bendy, his sweet, faithful, and precious demon that he care and love the must.

WAIT, Love...

He fell in love with his creation, Bendy as name is Benicio.

No, NONONO... This can’t be happening, right... He just can’t fell in love again.

What if he made a terrible mistake by having feeling toward Bendy, what would happen if they had relationship together like kissing, hang out and... Huh...

(Screaming in his head)

Henry quickly rubbed his head with his hands try to remove the image of Benicio’s looks from his mind, he can’t stop thinking of seeing his attractive sexy look in his head, he can’t shack this strange feeling inside him whenever he been close to Bendy, that make his face turn redder as the head evaporating above his head due to extreme embarrassment.

Benicio notice Henry’s strange behavior, in his thoughts wondering what his angel is thinking.

Few minutes later:

Benicio and Henry has arrived at the park, they’ve been expecting to meet Abel the Angel here, but it seems he hasn’t arrived yet.

“F**K, he’s late!!” Benicio growl under his breath, he hates waiting.

Henry on the other hand is a patient person and he didn’t care if anyone was late in time somehow, he usually doesn’t pay attention to time... He looked up and see Benicio’s face looks pissed, it seems the demon has lost his patient of waiting for Abel arrived.

Henry didn’t wanna see his demon get angry, so he place his hand on Benicio’s shoulder to get him attention and calm him down, when Benicio got attention, seeing Henry’s eyes staring at him with worried.

Benicio realized it, as he take a deep breath and let out sigh slowly to calm his nervousness. He look back and caressed Henry’s cheek gently and smiled, “I’m fine Doll, nothing to worry.” While he said it, he moves Henry’s hair away from his face and kissed his forehead.

This made Henry feel hot on his face and flustered.

The demon couldn’t instead as he place his hand on angel’s chin and lift his head up to looking into his eyes behind the glasses and smile wide. “Ya know I had the idea for tonight! I have been thinking to take ya out on date and had dinner in restaurant, then I can take ya to my favorite place. How’s that sound...?!”

Henry tried to answor back, but he couldn’t get the word out for being nearvous, so he took his demon’s hand and to nod.

Benicio smiled pure happiness for the answor, he nuzzled Henry’s cheek and purr, this made the angel feel his face burn... Of course, Henry didn’t know what he was doing, but he didn’t want to upset his demon and he really want to spend the time with him.

“Uh, geez... Get a room ya two!!” The familiar voice said to them. They looked back and see Abel standing there with awkward looks on his face.

Benicio growled in anger by two reasons,

One: For being late.

And two: For ruined his good moment with his Doll.

“Ya’re Late... What’s taking ya?!” Benicio said in rage.

“Ah, ya know... I had other business to take care of, but I’m here now.” Adel said calmly with no worries. He waved slightly at Henry, “Heya Henry.” He said with cheery smile.

“H-Hello Mr. Abel!! It’s great... T-To see you again.” Henry greed him with smile nervously and great him back.

“Hehe...! Great to see ya too, Hen. Ya look good today, feeling better?!” Abel asked.

“Y-Yas... I-I feel much better now...!” Henry answered, still feel nerves and sky to speak.

“Hey, take it easy, buddy! There’s no need to be nerves...” Abel tried to calm him down, “...and please, just call me Abel.”

“Oh, okay...! S-Sorry...!” Henry said, pressing his hands through his chest nervously. As he felt Benicio hand petting his head gently, he turn his head up to see him smile.

“It’s alright, Doll! The Angel Face wouldn’t mind if ya asked him what ya need to know, so don’t hold back.” Banicio explained, “Cause’ however! If he do something to upset ya... Just say the word and I’ll personally punch his ugliest face for ya.”

“He-He... Laugh ya want ‘cause ya ain’t good enough to listen my advice since we switch our bodies to one another, and ya didn’t do any better instead of complaining over nonsense things about angels, remember that?!” Abel smirked at him of what he said, as he saw Benicio’s jumped in shock and embarrassed.

Henry was surprised and curious over their conversation! Switch Bodies...!!! What exactly are they saying?

“A what??” Henry asked confused.

“Oh, uh... it’s nothing Doll... Hehe... He’s just joking.” Benicio smiled and laughed nervously, try not to frack out over Henry. Then he approach into Abel and grip his short with anger through his eyes. “Don’t say any embarrassed things in front of Henry and try to keep yar big mouth shut for telling him about my business... and...!” He closed his eyes and breath calmly, “...Keep ya eyes on him and make sure he’s saved in yar care... I’m count on ya!”

While Benicio kept talking, Abel grip the demon’s hand that hold his short and facing him with series looks, “Ya have my word and I keep it... I promised that I’ll keep him saved no matter what...!”

Benicio knows he can trust and understood his words. From the past they were not good friend from beginning between demon and angel, but they’re understanding and help each other from their problem... As soon as the demon calm his sense, he remove his hand and back off a little, “Alright!! He’s all yars now... But be gentle with him!” When he said it, Abel nodded.

Then Benicio place his hand on Henry’s cheek and look into his Doll eyes before he leave. “Dolly, babe!! I’ll leaving ys with Angel Face for now, but I’ll be back for ya when the train’s over... Listen to his advice and stay focus don’t rush. Incase if anything bad happens to ya, just call me by the number I gave ya and I’ll be here for ya...”

“B-Bendy, just stop... calm down, please...!” Henry raise his hands up to stop him talking. “...You’re worry to mush, but I’m adult and I can take care of myself...” He breath out heavily, then he put his hands over Benicio’s shoulder to comfort him, “I know your worry about my safety, but I wants you to trust me... T-That is all I ask... Please...!” He looked into his demon’s eyes pleasing him.

They both stared each other for a while, then Benicio nod. He understand and trust him.

The demon place his right hand on Henry’s cheek, “I’m sorry Doll, I got carried away and overreact, ‘cause ya’re so precious to me and I shouldn’t worry that much...!” He got closer and kiss Henry’s forehead. “Just be careful, Babe.”

“I will.” Henry said with smile.

Then Benicio smiled back to him. The demon turn around and walk back to his car, but before he gets into his vehicle, he look back to his angel and waved, Henry then waved back at him.

Benicio smiled for him, knowing he’ll be okay. He got into his car and drive away, while Henry watching him leave, his face change as he grip his clothes where his heart is, feeling nervous and pray for god to give his strength, hope and courage to master this power and keep everyone safe without hurting them included his best friend Sammy... He needs find a way to get his memories back and knows the truth about Joey’s plan, There might be a change to save him and get back to real world.

Henry suddenly fracked out in shock by feeling hand touch his shoulder, he turn around to see Abel placed his hand on him, looking at him surprisingly.

“Henry calm down, it’s just me!” Abel speaks to him calmly.

Henry breath in and let out slowly to calm himself, “S-Sorry Abel... Didn’t realized what I was doing!? I was in deep thought...!!”

“It’s okay, ya don’t need to apologies... I know ya’re very nervous over this, but there is nothing to worry. Besides I guarantee our practice well get better as long as ya stay focuses with me, alright!” Abel explained as he plink his right eye and smile.

Henry couldn’t agree more, as he followed Abel to the good space where the can practice.

Then they begin, “Alright Henry, the first things that I need to ask!? Have ys tried to use yar wings to fly or touch things?!”

Henry face shows awkwardly, then he shook his head giving him the answer.

“I figure!! Okay, first step... Spread yar wings?” Abel order him.

Henry done what he told, spread his wings out. As Abel watching them flick open a bit and then curl at his side, he was amazed of seeing Henry’s wings were big the same as his. He gain close to him and run his fingers against the soft feathers. It seems perfectly fine and it seem strong enough to actually fly.

Henry could feel Abel’s hands move through his soft feathers that made his body twisted feels weird, very weird...

Abel knowbies Henry’s shoulder trembling, that mean he’s tickling. He hold his giggle under his breath, he know this feeling. ‘Hehe... How cute!!’ He said in his thought.

“Wow... Henry am surprised, yar wings are the same as mine. That means ya can do the same thing as I can.” Abel said.

“H-How?” Henry asked wonder.

“Watch!!” Abel flapped his wings open, took off and flew through the air. Henry’s eyes were widely sparkle surprisingly and amazed of watching him fly. He couldn’t imagine how angels are incredible, the same way he saw in his favorite book the picture of angel falling from the light of heaven. He never thought he’ll ever see one for real.

In few moment, Abel slowly land safely, raise his arms up to sheered up and smiled to his excel. Then Henry clap for him.

“Thank you... Thank you... Aw, ya’re too kind, no need to cheer.” Abel waved and smiled wide showing his shine teeth’s.

“You’re amazing, Abel!” Henry said happily.

“I know...!” Abel showed his style, combing his hair back with his hand.

“I-I never imagen that I’ll see angels fly like this... It’s like in my dream when I was a kid.” Henry’s face got blush in pink, full of excitement to try.

That also made Abel’s face burning turn red from hearing this and he couldn’t stop staring at this cute new angel’s face. As he tried to keep his reacting straight and stay focus. “Ahem, well of course, ya have seen nothing yet, my dear friend! No one could easily mass with a stylish, strong, smarts and good-looking angel like me...”

“Oh really...! And what about me, ya deceitful chatterbox...!”

Then suddenly a deep voice has interfered, as they look into voice owner, they saw Axel walking toward them, his hands in his pocket with cigar on his mouth and he had his fluffy ferret resting on his shoulder.

“Did ya guys just start training without me!” Axel speak to Abel.

“Actually, ya’re just in time, we’re just started.” Abel said.

“Go to know! Haya Henry, how’re ya doing today?!” Axel said as he greet to Henry.

“G-Good afternoon, Mr. Axel... It’s nice t-to see you again...!” Henry said nervously but being happy to see his savior who saved him from death.

From this moment, Aki the Ferret ear twist by hearing familiar voice, it woke him up and when he saw Henry there, his tail flicked happily. Then he jumped off from Axel’s shoulder and run forward to Henry.

Axel eyes were wide open surprisedly watch Aki approached to Henry, jumped out to his short until he reached to Henry’s shoulder and licked his cheek. That made Henry laugh by feeling tickle.

Axel and Abel were surprised watch the fetter. Axel pet really likes Henry and he seem very happy to be with him.

As Abel saw Axel reaction, he had the evil idea to make his day so much fun. He reach closer to Axel ear with smirked on his lips and whispered, but he tried to hold his laugh waited to see his friend’s actions. “Hate to spoil this moment, buddy! But it seems yar beloved pet is in love with another angel instead of ya...!” Then he start to laugh.

Axel face suddenly change in shock then to anger. He grip Abel’s short and facing him with scary wildly sharp tooth and his halo glowing widely in rage above his head.

Then suddenly the fight has start violence between to angels...

“YA PIECE OF SH**T, I’LL KILL YA...!” Axel yelled in rage.

“HEHE... GO AHEAD AND TRY, YA COWER...!!” Abel yelled at him.

Henry was surprisingly in shock to see his two new friends are fighting. He and Aki were sweatdrop awkwardly, wondering what they were fighting about?!

After two hour:

When the fight is over the two angels began help Henry to use his wings to fly. Henry was a bit scared, but he has to do it. While he’s flow in the air, he had a problem with balancing the movement of his wings, it wouldn’t be that easy as he thought it would.

“Come on Henry... Ya need to flap yar wings really hard...” Axel explained as he flow beside him to keep his flight steady.

As Henry listen to his advice, he flap his wings very hard and flew in the opposite direction, causing him to lose control over his flight until he crashed into a tree... Eliciting ‘Ow’ came from him.

Axel flow a head to check on him, “Ya okay, Hen!!”

“I-I think so...!” Henry isn’t sure if he’s okay.

“Maybe not that hard...!” Axel said.

Half an hour:

Abel at the ground watching Henry flies, “Alright Henry, fly just a little fast... No slow down... No, no don’t flow like that ya’ll just...!!!”

Too late... He bumped into the tree again and then slowly fall on the grass. “I stand up longer this time...!” Henry said.

“I guess so... but ya aren’t going anywhere flying like that...?!” Abel scratch his head back.

“Ya’re doing just fine, bud...! I’m sure ya’re gone get through this anytime soon...!” Axel said calmly tries to encourage him to keep trying.

Henry pull himself together and stand up. “I’ll try again and this time I wouldn’t fail...!” Then he speed forward and took off.

Abel slap his face with his hand, feeling disappointed, “Uh, He’ll never learn fly in time.”

“Don’t say that. He’ll do it I’m sure of it... He just need more encouragement that’s all...!” Axel said with hope.

Three hours later:

Henry tries to lose his balance with his wings, so he can land safely by his foot, but he couldn’t keep his distend as he his wings tightened unable to balance, until his face hit the ground.

‘Ouch’ Axel and Abel looked away of seeing Henry’s face on the ground, as they know this is gone hurt. Henry pulled his face out of the ground, trying to remove the dirt from his face and fix his glasses.

Axel quickly ran to his friend Henry to help him, “Ya’re doing great, Henry, ya almost there.”

“Oww... This ain’t that easy as I thought...” Henry said as he rub his back pain from a fall, “I’m still feel awkward from all this and I still not so sure, if I can make it.” Henry said as he tried to stand still.

“Hey, don’t give up yet! We know it will be that hard when we first created...!” Abel said.

“Things got different from start, but it’ll got petter when ya learn from us...” Axel said.

Abel and Axel gave Henry some good conversation and advice to reassured him and it did make the young animator feel tranquility and believe of his words, “Now, let’s go fly... All three of us and show us what ya can do?!”

Henry nodded, then he flapped his wings up and took off. Abel and Axel followed him up to the sky, they watched him fly as they’re amazed of see him doing better.

“YAY... Ya doing it, Henry...!!”

“Way to go Hen! Keep it up!”

Abel and Axel share for him, as Henry is so excited and rejoice for his exceeded. He felt so happy that he can fly above the cloud like a bird, he never thought this will happen, even if he still dreaming, but this is real, and it feel so amazing.

But then...

“HENRY WATCH OUT!!!”

When Henry suddenly heard Axel yelled, wondering what he’s saying!? Until he saw clouds right in front of him wasn’t pay attention where he flew, and he’s headed to it... He tried to stop and move way, but he was too fast to gain control, until he bump into clouds one by one and stopped, but he couldn’t engine control over his wings and start to fall.

Axel and Abel were shocked and panic, they quickly dive down to catch him. The two angels tried to grip him, but Henry swing his legs and arms around because of the intense fear of falling.

“ABEL, CATCH HIM...!” Axel scream.

“I’M TRYING...!” Abel respond back. He tried his best to save him, then he got the idea...

He quickly close his wings and place his arms close to his body so he can land fast forward before him and then he opens his wings to slow down and raise his arms up. And finally, Abel manage to catch him safely in his arms.

“I catch ya!!” Abel relief.

Henry whined in shock and scared in his soul, he wrap his arms around Abel’s neck, and place his head over his shoulder, then his eyes start to tear up...

“It’s okay... It’s okay... Ya’re save now.” Abel speak calmly and pat his back gently to keep him calm.

Abel landed on the ground easily still holding Henry in his arms, Axel quickly land down to make sure Henry is okay unharmed.

“Dang it bud, ya almost gave us heart attack. Don’t scare us like that!” Axel said, tired relief clear in his voice as he looked at the animater. “Ya sure can be a handful, ya know that?”

Henry didn’t respond.

Abel and Axel looed into each other with worried and confused, not knowing what to do?! They weren’t sure how they can handle this, after all they are forgetting how to deal with a sad child for a long time ago, but this one is different for Henry is adult in toon form, but deep within him, he’s more like a kid to them.

So, They decided to take a break and help him gather his strength...

The three angels sit under a tree against the base of shade to rest, as Abel serve them bottled of ink to drink. Henry drink two bottles of extreme thirst and exhausted during his train and as Aki lay on Henry’s lap relaxing to keep him company.

“Ya doing great job, Hen! Pretty soon all three of us will make it on top and become a great Badass Angel Team...!” Abel said it with enthusiasm.

“Uh, I don’t think that’s such a good idea...!” Axel wasn’t convinced with him.

“Why not?!” Abel asked.

“Cause Henry here isn’t Badass as we know and even if he were he wouldn’t like it.”

“Aw, come on buddy! Henry might be good and sweet soul, but he need to show everyone how tough, brave, and stronger he is, to make them believe he’s Badass as we do.”

“Well that his decision and we wouldn’t force him, right Henry!” Axel looked into Henry’s face down wasn’t pay attention to their conversation as he’s in deep thought. His hands on Aki’s back wipe his fur gently, that makes Aki feel comfortable which he made purr sound.

Axel place his hand on Henry’s shoulder, then out of blue Henry jumped in shock by feeling hand touch his shoulder and it also shock Aki as he jump off from Henry’s lap.

“Henry?” Axel speaks up as he place his hand on Henry’s shoulder...

Then Henry got the attention. “Oh, uh.... Sorry what was that?” Henry smiled nerves as he fake his reaction, but they didn’t believe what they seen.

That made Henry feel embarrassed and disappointed in front of them, as he cover his face with his hand feel ashamed of himself, “Sorry guys... I-I messed up today... I... I wasn’t in my mind by that time, and it wouldn’t happen again.”

“It’s okay, Henry!? We did some clumsy things back then, and we’ve learned the mistake.” Axel said truthfully.

“And there is nothing wrong of what ya did...!?” Then Abel speaks back. “What ya’ve learn today is the first step of yar mistakes and ya’re doing so well... I mean, looked all the progressed ya have made.”

“Sigh... Thanks, guys... but you don’t have to lie to me...! I know of how much this gone take!? I aware of being a toon would take hard work to learn and get through without get killed or hurting anyone, but I...!” Henry low his head and cross his arm around his knees with disappointed and fear looks on his face, “I’m scared...!”

Abel and Axel were surprisingly to hear this.

“You guys has told me that my power is very difficult to control, and it’ll be risky for me to use it against any toons...!” Henry cover his face, “But having that power it’s... Scares me.”

“We understand that ya’re scared... But having this power just for protection and it’ll keep ya safe against and bad toons tried to kill ya!” Abel tried to confirm him.

“But that’s what scares me!” Henry said as he looked at Abel sadly, “I’m scared to use it... And scared to need it...!”

Abel could see Henry’s wings shacking as it shows his emoting of fear, that indeed remind himself when he was young.

“I’m... sorry you guys had to stock with me... I wish if I hadn’t look for Joey in the Machine Room in the first place none of this would happen... and made you all feel unsafe because of this strange power that I never wish for... It’s like I have been cursed for things that I... don’t actually know why...!” He breathed in a weak, broken voice.

“Stop that... What kind of attitude that ya’re saying!? And Who said that we’re scared of this sh**t...!” Aexl interfere as he stood up and walk closely to face him and into his eyes, “Listen, I know that ya’re very scared... To tell ya the truth, Henry! I’m too got scared and unfaithful when I arrived here. I didn’t trust anyone around, and prefer to stay along... But things has change when I meet Richy, Bucky, Abel, Benicio and Boris... They’ve change me and make me realized being along wouldn’t help me get through,”

“And ya’re right. It is very scary to be different... But I think it’s kind of good that ya feel that way... Wanna know why...” He continue as he put his hand over Henry’s head to pat him and smiled, “Cause ya’re the most determined angel toon or... human that I ever met, ya’ve fought the Butcher Gang by yarself and tried to keep Aki safe. Ya didn’t give up fight and yet ya still keep trying nonstop, that means ya still have hope to keep moving forward...!”

“He’s right...!” Abel said sincerely and sit beside him. “And we’re gladly to help out!? Also, yar power is not a curse, it’s a mystery that ya’re gone need to find the answer... With the power like that...!” Abel place his finger on Henry’s forehead, “Can go through your head. Which makes ya very special for us and Devil Boy... We’re glad that we met ya.”

Henry filled a bright warmness inside his heart, and it made him so happy and grateful. As Aki jump onto his shoulder and nuzzle his face made him giggle. His face twisted slightly as the tears flowing down his cheeks. He remove his glasses to wipe the tears and look up to Abel, “Y-Yeah... You’re right, I can’t just give up yet. I have to keep trying until I can control it.”

“Yeah, that’s the spirit, Hen!!” Abel patting Henry’s shoulder to cheer him up.

Then Henry stood up to stress up and ready for another round, “Thanks guys, I’m grateful that you’re willing to help me and... I don’t know how’ll I every thank you for...!”

“Hehe... Don’t thank us yet, buddy...!” Abel said with a big smile on his face as he’s wrapped his right arm around Henry’s back head, “We still had a lot of things to do, and we’ll have a great time together as Badass Angel Team... And Ya’ll be part of the team.”

“B-But I... I don’t...!” Henry was nerves not knowing what to say.

“Abel, we’ve talk about this, and the answer is NO...” Aexl exclaims, “He is not gone be part of the gangs, so leave him be...!”

“Ah... Harsh!!” Abel sound disappointed.

“Now, come on, Hen! let’s keep practicing, we still had the time before the sundown...!” Aexl said.

“Right...!” Henry smiled and he began to train with his friends.

At the Warehouse:

By chance Benicio Draw the Mod Boss is in Sillyvision Town to cheek around the warehouse that he owns. His workers loading the boxes into the truck ready to shipment, while he check the document to make sure nothing is missing with his cigar on his sharp tooths.

Two of his men carry a big box and place it on the floor, as Benicio approached, his worker opened the box lid and remove straw to review all ink bottles inside the box. He toke on bottle to check, seems okay, then he place it back. He wave his hand order them to remove it and put it inside the truck.

“Are the shipments ready to ship?” Benicio speaks to his men.

“Yes, Boss... Every trucks are ready to go.” His toon gain said.

“Good, make sure every trucks drove to ToonTown safety... With no mistake, Understood!” His eyes became red blood in rage.

“Y-Yes, Boss...!” His toon gain shacking in fear.

Which of course, Benicio is very scary to his men when he speaks to them.

And finally, the job is done and they’re ready to leave!

“Yes, Sammy... I have a plan for tonight. So, let’s hurry.” Benicio breath out his cigar smoke from his mouth.

“Yes, my Lord!” Sammy nod, then he open the car door for him, but before Benicio reaches to his vehicle...!

BOOOOM...

There was a sound of big explosion coming from the outside gate where his trucks went through. Then there was a sound of gun shot, realizing that his gains are fighting back.

“SAMMY GET THE GUNS!!” Benicio yelled.

Sammy quickly open the vehicle trunk and get two machine gun and handed to his Lord ready to fight, but before they approaches the gate! Benicio suddenly heard the footstep coming closer, he smelled the blood in the air, sensing danger close by.

Then he saw a tall shadow figure approach the gate, until it showed itself right in front of him with a blue glowing eye and sharp tooth from his left side.

The demon eyes were red blood wide in rage and hatred. “YA!!” He growl loudly under his breath.

“Long time no see, Son of Ink...!” The strange figure speaks with raspy voice.
