"Bendy-"

The small demon waved his thoughts aside. "Nah, the past is the past. There's no need for me to keep bringing stuff up that doesn't matter anymore. After all, a second chance was all I wanted. Now I've just gotta try and forget my misdeeds and try again." he leaned sideways onto the inky man. "But now... I just want to try and sleep... If that's... Okay with you..." the demon's eyes began to close gently.

Sammy stilled and placed a hand on the demon's horns. "Sleep catches fast. You need it."

The small cartoon mumbled something indisguinishable. The man sighed as he realized he was now quite stuck like this. The small demon was too cute to move and possibly wake up. And so the inky human sat there with a seemingly harmless cartoon pressed against his side.

But he knew what damage the demon was capable of. And he also knew the demon was saddened, that it felt guilt that perhaps shouldn't even be held on such tiny shoulders. After all, it appeared something else could very well be in this moving picture, and whistling that old song.

You want this to end?

You know what to do.

"I- I do..." the demon stuttered.

Well then, act like it.

Bendy's cheek was pressed against Sammy's arms. With a soft sigh he picked the small demon up and placed the demon against his chest. If Bendy had a neck, his position from before would've hurt like hell when he awoke.

What caught the man's eyes however, was what the demon pinned inside one arm. A plush. Sure, he had seen it before but he hadn't exactly thought much of it. Now that this was to his attention however, it became to dwell upon his mind, and he almost thought it was cute. Now if he was seeing a tall spiny ink monster holding a plush toy he would've thought about the opposite. Of course though, this was his lord...

Or was it?

Bendy caused this- ALL of this- to happen. Could he just snap his fingers and have all the problems disappear? Most likely not. 

This small creature in his arms whimpered lightly. "I- I do..." 

Sammy kept silent, and listened with curious intent. The demon was silent for a while until making its next noise. 

"I did nothing wrong..." He shuddered. Bendy's grip on the plush tightened as he gasped. "S-Sam?"

The demon scrambled to get off, and nearly fell on the floor when the inky man grabbed his wrists, slowing his fall. The impact stung a bit, but the demon thought it felt worse. After all, he hadn't felt much pain in his lifetime. Except...

The reel-

Bendy got up, brushing and dusting his knees. "Sorry Sammy," the demon apologized, giving the plush a squeeze. It wheezed out its noise, and the demon smiled.

"Bendy, can you come with me for a moment?" 

The demon raised a brow. "Sure..." he placed the plush back on the crate and stepped beside him as the man got up and made his way to the wall, holding a hand against it. They were away from the rest of the Lost Ones. "What's wrong?" the demon tilted his head innocently. 

"Well... If I am going to say it, I'll say it now. What's going on inside that head of yours?"

Bendy grinned, though it seemed off as he stepped back. "Not much. Just, you know, thinking. About just stuff in general. It doesn't really mean anything, does it? You all get to think, and I won't invade." he leans on the wall. "Besides, being mischievous is my title, ain't it?"

"It is, but-"

"So I'ma stick to it."

Sammy sighed. "Bendy, look. What I'd been noticing this entire time we've been here, or had even stepped foot in this room, you look forlorn and guilty. I know why, but can you do anything about it?"

The demon's eyes narrowed, but not at Sammy. "I've been trying to think of something... I have a good idea, though."

Sammy's eyes widened. "What is it, then?"

Bendy smiled sadly. "I've gotta wait for the person to come and end it once for all." His voice quieted. "It's gotta be that. I mean, I've done everything else. I've died, and that didn't work. I think it can't be one of us..."

Sammy sighed as the demon continued. 

"Sam, I think... It has to be a human." Bendy's eyes bore into the floor. "I think it is a human... That will set you all free."

(A/N yeah, I know there isn't anything Bammy yet, so sorry about that. I know what will happen in the ending, though, if that counts for anything.)

Edit: Sorry, I had to do some stuff.
