((hey yeah... people are reading this :D thank you so much! so above imma leave some super cool bendy content that you should actually spend your time on... 

oh and i changed the name of this book, why? cus the first name was a quick choice and I kinda looked at the other benry books and realised it was kinda generic sooooooo- thought i change it, might change it again tho, and this name makes more sense story wise, sorry abt this long ramble xD you may read the story now))

Finally... they made it to the safehouse, it had taken them and over 2 hours, but finally they were just down the hall from it, if you could even call the basically a cave like passage that. Henry let out a small yawn... he hadn't done that in a while, though he had been rather tired lately, more than usual. 
"climbing that rope took a lot out of you didn't it?" Allison chuckled, Tom also gave a small "heh!" sound under his breath too, not turning his head back to look at them.
"yeah... I was always sorta exhausted, but adrenaline kept me going" Henry laughed softly "Guess I feel safer when I'm surrounded by allies...  so I guess my guard is down" Henry balanced on the thin wooden planks, every step sunk them into the ink slightly with a squish, squish squish squish.

Allison went silent at the fact that Henry still felt relaxed around them... they left him behind... it didn't seem right... Tom noticed Allison's reaction and quickly gave her a reassuring nod. 
"I know Tom..." Allison was quiet when she spoke, but it still made Henry jump, he forgot that they could talk... somehow?

"... Tom? is he somehow talking?" Henry asked "can I just not here him or somethin'?"
"No, no" Allison reassured him "it's nothing ink magic related"
"Then how?" It was strange to Henry, he still never understood everything in this world, and sometimes he felt like a small curious child, still discovering the world.
"haven't you ever grown close to someone where you almost just... understood them?" Allison asked.
"well... I did have a wife before I came here... but  she was ... Ill" Henry said choking on his last words. "and... well..." Sadness washed over him... but he couldn't even remember her name... what was her name? her name was... her name was-
"I'm so sorry Henry I didn't know" Allison said softly, and Tom gave Henry a "I'm sorry too" look, even he felt bad for Henry.
"It's okay it was a while ago" Henry shrugged his sadness off "So what were you saying about Tom?"
"Well... once you grow close to someone... you kinda just understand them" Allison explained. Both Tom and Henry nodded slowly as if they both knew what that meant but honestly Henry didn't he was just nodding for noddings sake "you know what they're thinking... maybe it makes it's easier to see that's how it is when the person you've grown attached to can't speak"  

Henry looked at the ground for moment, he never felt that way about his wife... but of course they still loved and cared for each other... maybe it was just a Tom and Allison thing. they turned a corner and suddenly both Allison and Tom let out a small gasp, making Henry look up and see... that the safe house was covered in ink? or so they could see from down the hall.
"p-perhaps it's not as bad as it looks..." Allison chuckled nervously as they all began quickly walking towards the safe house, squish squish squish. They all reached the safehouse, all slightly nervous and stepped in.

"No! no no no NO!" Allison rushed in looking at the wrecked room. Henry never stopped to ask himself what the ink demon would do if it found a place that was made for keeping away from it... though Henry would of done the same, it would hurt to know no one wanted to be near you, but does the ink demon even think? Would it be intelligent enough to understand that... The room was wrecked, Ink was everywhere and almost everything was torn to pieces, where Henry was once locked away was completely ransacked, it made Henry's stomach turn when he looked at it... that could of been him. "where is he" was written on multiple walls, but one was more direct... "where's henry?". Henry was silent... It wants him?
"t-this can't be?! we worked so hard to find a place safe enough-" Allison fell to the her knees and began clawing through a pile of they're old things "it took so long t-to- and-"  Tom walked over to her and kneeled beside her with a sigh.
"okay... yeah your right" Allison said lightening up, "it's all gonna be okay, we can... fix it, it won't be easy but what is?"

"it wanted me ..." Henry finally gasped making them both look up at him.
"What do you mean?" Allison asked confused, neither Tom or Allison had taken the time to look at the walls. Henry was silent and just pointed towards the wall this the words "where's Henry?".
They both stared at it for a moment then Tom gave Allison a nod then looked at Henry oddly, then back at the wall, then another nod.
"Tom thinks uhm... it wanted you at the time because he knew we would send you in to stop it" Allison said fast "and uh... it probably doesn't still want you, it got what it wanted, and it wouldn't pleasure it in any way, and.... better to keep you in torture forever"
"right" Henry nodded, he didn't believe them, no way did Allison get all that from Tom but he couldn't prove them wrong, and it was better to think that it wasn't still out to get him.

Everyone was silent for moment, until Henry randomly blurted out-
"The demon can write?!" He shouted making Allison and Tom laugh
"Well of course, who do you think wrote the messages on the walls?" Allison laughed
"... the ones who don't seem like mindless animal constantly trying to attack..." Henry mumbled awkwardly.
"well I don't think it's completely mindless" Allison stood up, and soon followed Tom ((I'm starting to miss Boris from thinkin abt Tom so much... I feel bad for Buddy-)) "it's like... taking a human and taking the empathy out of it" Again Henry nodded, but he still didn't understand, sometimes he wished he could read Allison's and Tom's mind...

"so... what do we do now?" Henry asked. Tom gave Allison a quick determined nod and she instantly understood.
"we should start getting this place back together." Allison sighed and began walking towards the door "first thing we need is supplies, we should head out and find them"
Henry couldn't help but glare at where he was once locked up, they left him... he could've died, it wasn't the biggest deal from what he knew, as he always came back, but he still couldn't help but wonder, what happens when they're put in that situation again.

((fun fact: this chapter would've been waaaaay longer if i put the bendy part in the next chapter in :D but i didn't so now its half of what i thought it would be))
