Bendy watched as a man approached his cage.

"Hello, Bendy."

The demon let out a croak. He was never given a voice, and this was as close as he had to one.

The demon slowly walked on all four legs to the door to the cage.

The man wore a light blue jacket, an expensive one by the looks of the seam and silver buttons.

"Bendy, do you know who I am?"
The man bent down. The creature shook his head.
"I am your creator."

The demon felt emotions bubble up inside his inky throat. This was the man who had ordered Sammy to lock him up inside this hastily made cage...

Bendy's silver tongue flicked. The man put a shaky hand through the bars, and the demon begrudgingly reached out with gloveless hands, clutching it with strong enthusiasm.

Joey Drew forced a fake smile upon his wrinkled face.

"You want to be perfect, I assume? You are not alone. I don't enjoy keeping you in here. In fact, I would like to know you better..." He took a key out of his jacket's pocket. He held it out for Bendy to see. "... Are you ready to leave this cage? And to go... Outside?"

Bendy released his hand. He stood up on two feet, as Joey stood up. He was eager to leave. What was 'Outside'? He wanted to know so badly...

Joey unlocked the door. It swung open with haste. It was only used once- maybe twice- and that was never for Bendy to leave.

"Let us go, Bendy."

The demon slowly walked out, nearly stumbling. He picked himself up, aquirring balance. He flinched as Joey beckoned him out.

"You can do it."

Bendy felt ink run off his face more, splattering the floorboards with ink splotches.

He gratefully followed the man...
Towards OUTSIDE.
