The sound of hooves clicked on the floor of the royal hallways, servants were doing their daily work, the demon-like vampire walked to the balcony that was an outlook to the city, the sound of wings flapping was near as a woman with wings plopped herself on the railing near where he was leaning.

She turned to look out to the city as well with the other vampire, it was always night here, especially with the barrier around their world separating from the outside, was told by the elders that the barrier was there to keep them safe, some vampires were outside the barrier, those are mostly turned or hybrids, or simply out for blood.

“What do you think the other side is like?” The male vampire asked, the female's wings fluttered, a small chirp coming from her mouth before clearing her throat and speaking, “Bendy. It's better to not question the elders..” She whispered.

“Allison. They've been able to leave the barrier for centuries. Why can't we?!” Allison hesitated to answer, “it's not safe” she finally answered, “not safe? Not safe?? We are immortal! We can't die!” Bendy snapped at her, bearing his teeth without realizing.

She moved away from him a bit, Bendy realized that froze, “I'm... I'm sorry Allison. I shouldn't have snapped at you like that, I'm just tired of being within the barrier... It's not fair that Boris gets to but I can't..."

The woman sighed. “The world beyond the barrier is very dangerous to someone like you, we are rare of our kind, Boris doesn't look like us, he's able to go under the radar while me, you and Alice can't leave.”

She was silent for a few more minutes before whispering “Especially not you.” Silence filled the night sky, the internal darkness. She slowly moved to Bendy and gently cupped his face. “You are the future of our world, a world where outsiders will never understand.”

She then let him go, “Tom gets blood from beyond the barrier for you... Boris gets to see everything, is it so bad that I wonder what's beyond it?”

“I understand you're upset Bendy, I'll have Sammy keep you company.” She said softly before getting up and starting to walk, Bendy let out a huff, he wasn't upset that Sammy is going to keep him company, no.

Sammy is great to talk to, he's loyal, had great taste in music, his music was always calming, and had offered to go get him blood from beyond the barrier. Bendy thought about it, maybe it would be good for a different taste of blood then the usual inky tangy blood.

From what he heard from Alice, the blood from the mortals beyond the barrier was actually sweet, tasted actually divine, although Alice always was dramatic with her words, always had to take it to the extreme.

Although he wondered, maybe he will be able to sneak out with Sammy, that's if he can convince him.

......

“No! Absolutely not my Lord. It's far too dangerous for you, as much as I would love to-” “I'll get you a piano.” Sammy was quiet for a few minutes. “You know, on second thought they didn't say that you couldn't leave with a person.”

Well that was one way to get Sammy to agree on something.
