(Y/n) POV
I make my way into the other room, holding the blue rose close to my heart as I wander farther down the dark hallway. As I keep walking, I see a dim light coming from the other end 'Thank goodness....' I think gratefully as the light becomes bigger and brighter. When I step into the next room, I see the man I ran into, in the gallery, cringing in pain still on the floor 'Huh.... I thought for sure he would be better once we healed his rose back up... maybe we need to give it to him...' I walked up to the strange man slowly as Ib grabbed onto my (F/c) skirt (Your wearing a skirt, sorry if you don't like them!) with tight hands. I grab the man's hand and he groans which makes me blush, I close his hand around the rose and back away from him slightly, hoping he didn't work for any sort of martial arts place but by the looks of it, he didn't. The man groaned in pain as his eye's slowly fluttered open as he slowly sat up ".....hm... What's this?..... the pains gone?.... ah?" He now sat up fully staring at me and Ib with fearful eyes "EEEK!" he screeched 'So much for being a man...' I thought to myself as I tried to hold back a laugh, Ib gave me a look or glare I should say and looked back at the man who looked fearful of us standing before him. The man backed farther away from us "Wh- What is it now?! Th-There's nothing left for you to take, I tell you!" The man yell's at us. Ib and I share confused looks before turning back to the man "Uhh.... W-" I start but was cut off by the man himself "W-Wait.... weren't you the girl I bumped into earlier?" He asked me. A light blush covers my face as I remember the incident "Y-Yes... that was me.." I smile awkwardly. The man nods and turns towards IB "Ah! And you must be from the gallery as well, I presume." Ib nods "So you are! At least there are other's here beside's me!" The man sounds very cheerful but taking a closer look, I see his eye's and they look as if they are saying 'Why a child..?' 'Hm...' I think 'How peculiar...' Ib starts to chat about how we both ended up here. When she finished a sad look crosses the man's face "Ah... So I see you both do not know how to leave this wretched place either...." He turns away and thinks for a moment before turning back "I think I have come up with an explanation of how we all become very weak when our roses are looking wilted." He pauses and stares intently at Ib and I before he start's again "I think that the roses have some sort of connection with us in our souls... I mean it is just a theory but I could be correct." A look of realization crosses his face as he turns back towards us "Ah! I still haven't asked your names, my that was rude of me." I smile and giggle a bit as Ib starts to laugh as well, the man looks at us and roll's his eye's "Anyways, my name is Garry." He turns towards Ib "And what is yours?" "My name is Ib!" she laughs. Garry nods before turning toward's me "And you name is....?" "(Y/n). (Y/n) (L/n)." Garry nods before commenting "Well you both have beautiful names." Ib laughs as I blush a deep red and try to hide my face, Garry smirks a little before turning around "Well! I can't leave you two alone now can I? I guess we can all go together!" Garry replied cheerfully. As he was about to walk away, the picture with the wiggling tongue spat at Garry which made him jump back in fear "EEEK!" He yelled again. I walked over to him and pat his shoulder "Don't worry, there's nothing to be afraid of, it's just a painting." I smiled warmly at Garry which made him blush. I helped Garry up and Ib walked ahead of us "Come on you slow-pokes! Don't want to be left behind!!" she teased as we all kept walking. Since Ib stayed ahead of us, Garry talked to me about stuff that I guess he didn't want Ib to get involved in "Anyways... (Y/n)? Do you like art?" he asked politely, I gave a small nod and smile "Yes, I throughly enjoy it as much as the next person, just.... this kind of art gives me the creeps." I reply. Garry nod's as he try's to keep the conversation going until Ib stops in front of another door "Hey... Garry?" she asks. Garry turns away from me and reply's to Ib "Yes Ib, what is it?" she motions to the headless statue standing in front of the doorway "May you please move that?" Garry nods and in one swift motion, the statue is out of the way so that we could continue. 'I hope this hell ends soon... I don't know how many more puzzles and evil art statues I can take.'
Time-skip!: Why? Because I'm lazy.... Sorry ^-^"
(Y/n) POV
I stand in a room with a couch that kinda look's like it's from beetle juice or something, Ib, Garry, and I just ran away from over 5 monster's and ended up inside of a room with only a window, a painting, an easel, the couch, and some bookshelves. I am catching my breath as Ib clutches tightly onto my skirt and Garry has his hand on my shoulder, panting as well. "Well... I guess this is a good time to rest..." Garry panted while trying to enlighten the mood. I roll my eye's as I plop down onto the couch and hold my hands to my head "I-I.... I don't know how much more I can take of this without breaking...." I mutter as my hand's start to shake. Garry see's my nervousness and tell's Ib to go and maybe look at some book's while he deals with me. As Ib find's a colorful picture book with nothing that could haunt her for life, she sit's down next to the book shelf in the other corner in the room so that the grown-ups can talk. Garry sit's down next to me and sighs "Hey, listen.. I know this place is terrifying and not good to be in... but we have to make through this all together." I keep staring at the floor, not wanting to meet Garry's eyes so that he can see that even with his helpful words, I am still terrified of what lies ahead and if it has the risk of getting us all killed which I really hope does not happen. Garry knows that I'm not paying attention to him for a reason which makes him a tad bit... frustrated, Garry mumbles something that I can't make out and a moment later, I feel a hand grasp my chin and turn it toward's them. I blush a dark red as I realize that it is Garry as he is staring seriously into my own eyes "G-Garry... personal bubble please..." I mutter against his soft skin. Garry smirks and pull's me closer to his face as I struggle to get out of his grip which in the over-run doesn't even work, Garry rolled his eye's "Given up yet...?" Garry asks as I give a soft nod and close my eye's tightly to not look at the smirk that I know is plastered on Garry's face. Garry is once again annoyed since I shut my eye's and I hear a little sigh "(Y/n), unlike you I don't give up easily." I sigh in defeat and open my eye's to face him. His features soften a little as I look at him with my (E/c) orbs "Finally..." he reply's happily "I get to look at those beautiful eye's..." Garry complimented. I blushed a dark red and tried to hide my face but Garry was gripping onto my hand's so I had to keep on blushing in front of him. He smirked and let go of my face "I think you may need a reassuring hug..." he smiled at me, I hesitantly scooted closer to him before he became un-patient and pulled me into a loving hug. My blush darkened as he left me in his hug until it became less awkward and I hugged back. Ib walked around the couch to see Garry and I, she giggled which made us look up at her. "What are you guys doing?"she giggled, Garry looked at me and pulled away before turning back to Ib "O-Oh! Ib!" he laughed awkwardly which made me get up to try and open the door as he explained why he was hugging me. I turned the knob "Come on guys, lets get a mo-" I stopped as I tried to pull the door open but it wouldn't budge. "Uhh... guys?" Garry came up from behind me as I kept pulling at the door "Here, let me try." He says as he pushes me out of the way to try the door. As he pulls at the door it won't budge "What the heck?! It was just wide open!" He said through fear. There was banging on the door and I shrieked and fell onto the cold floor "(Y/n)! Are you alright?" Garry asked while helping me up as I rubbed my head "Yeah.... just everything that we have gone through so far is terrifying to think about like the painting who was asking for Ib's flower... those headless statues.... the mannequin heads!" I trembled in my fear "I-I don't think I can take it much longer!" I yelled as a crash came from behind. I froze and turned around to see two hands crawling along the flower with a blue dress and brown hair, The Lady in Blue, got into the room. I shrieked as Garry picked Ib up and grabbed my hand tightly in his, I then noticed another painting lady but behind her was a hole 'Is this where we can get out..?' I thought frantically. Garry ran through the hole to be met with mannequin heads, I screamed and ran with Garry and Ib following close behind "(Y/n) wait!" They both yelled as I looked over the walls to see if there was any way of exiting this wretched place. I found a door and smiled a little as I ran towards it. Before I could reach it, I felt something grab my hand. I screamed and tried to pry free of it's grasp, but it held on as tightly as ever "(Y/n) you have to calm down.." Garry said in a calm tone. I felt tears stain my face as I heard a dark roar from behind me as Garry ran inside of the open door. As I was pulled in, he slammed the door behind me and ran away from the door. We followed Ib as she stopped in front of a very creepy painting that was crying blood, Garry looked back before sighing "Ha! We certainly showed them!" he cried happily, I giggled as he turned and smiled at me with the slightest blush. We both then turned to Ib to see that she was on her knees staring at the ground with her eyes covered by her bangs. "Ib? What's the matter?" Garry asked as he knelt down next to her side she then fell to the floor as Garry was holding her, my eyes widened as Garry was knelt over her with worry. I then remembered everything that had just happened and felt light-headed. I landed on the floor as black specks came into view. The last thing I saw before fading into the blackness was Garry and his worried expression hovering over me. I finally faded into the blackness to be met with giggling.
My eyes shot open as I sat open and looked around, I was in a different room that felt colder then the others I have been to. I felt like something or someone was watching me. I called out into the room "H-Hello...?" I looked deeper into the room to see two bright red eyes staring back at me. I tried to scream but my voice somehow vanished into thin air as the eye's got closer. I backed into a wall as the eye's were at the brink of the darkness to reveal the rest of it's face. It was a blue creepy doll that smiled at me with its stitched grin. It grinned darkly at me before calling out "(Y/n).... (Y/n)....?" "What the hell do you want?!" I yelled back "Come here.... (Y/n)...." it giggled. I tried to stand up, but my legs felt like bricks and I couldn't move. The doll's large blue hands grabbed me and carried me back into the darkness. I squirmed and bit but couldn't break free. The doll hung me over a lit area and I looked down, afraid what would be there, as I looked down my pupils shrank with both shock and fear. There in the dimly lit area sat Garry surrounded by miniature versions of the big doll, and he was staring right back at me with a small smirk "(Y/n)-chan! I'm so glad you could make it..." Garry smiled darkly. The doll suddenly dropped me and I let out a small scream as I fell to the ground thinking I would land on the black, cold floor. Instead of falling to the floor, I fell into strong, cold, arms. I looked up to the owner of the arms to find Garry smiling darkly back at me as his cold breath blew across my face making me shiver. "Awe, (Y/n)-chan~ Are you cold...?" He cooed. I slowly got out of his grasp to be standing next to him as the big blue doll leaned over us with its crazed grin. I stared at Garry and into his dark brown eyes (I think they are brown, don't hate me!) as he stared into my (E/c) ones. "G-Garry.... What's wrong with you...?" He stared at me for a moment as a grin spread like a wild fire across his face. "What's wrong with me? What about you?!" He yelled "Ahahahaha..... Oh (Y/n)-chan~ Your so funny...." Tears stained my face once again as Garry started slowly walking towards me. I started to back into a wall, Garry noticed my actions and his grin started to fade into an angry frown "(Y/n).... Why are you running away from ME!?!?!" Tears spilled down onto the floor and on my clothes as Garry grinned once more "Awe.... Don't cry (Y/n)~chan...." I backed into something soft and looked to see what it was. I shrieked as I shrunk back in fear as the doll stared back at me with its piercing red eyes, I started to back away until I ran into a chest and two arms snaked around me, holding me tightly within their grasp. "(Y/n)~..." Garry cooed "Do you love me...?" I shivered as his cool fingers traced around the nape of my neck "Come on... You can't hide it forever....." He licked my ear as I tried to pry free of his grasp but it just became tighter. I let out a small sigh and struggled to turn around and face him with his cold, maniacal eyes "Garry...... Before you became like this, I used to love you...." Garry's face became a face from craziness to disgust. "You.Don't.Love.ME?!?!?!" He screamed in my face. ahahaha...HahahAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH... OH (Y/n)-CHAN, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE TO LOVE ME OR NOT!!!! HEHEHE! BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!!!" He stopped to lean you over as if you two were just dancing "And you can't escape me... I will love you..." He paused to giggle "Forever." His cold lips smashed onto mine as his tongue invaded my mouth making me scream and try to push him away but instead making him deepen the kiss. I sobbed silently as Garry kept kissing me and my tears stained the floor as the dolls around us watched us and giggled with the big one leaning over me.
I awoke in a sweat as I screamed while sitting up. I checked my surroundings to make sure everything was ok as I saw Ib and Garry staring at me with wide and worried eyes. I looked at Garry to see his worried eyes meet mine. Tears formed in my eyes as I realized that it all was just a nightmare and Garry was fine and not hurt. I burst into a sob as I cried my eyes out. Ib and Garry's faces softened into a less worried look and more of a sad look as I cried harder and harder on the floor. Garry told Ib to go find something to read so that he could deal with me on his own. When Ib finally agreed to leave us alone for a bit, Garry came over to my crying form and gave me a warming hug. "Sh.. Sh.... It's ok (Y/n).... Everything is going to be fine." Garry cooed as I looked up at him with my watery eyes to see the kindness and warmth inside of his instead of in my nightmare. I can't really remember my nightmare, but what I do remember is the ending, and some of the parts where I was afraid. When I finally calmed down a bit, I nestled my face into Garry's chest as the last tears in my eyes fell down my face. "W-Woah! (Y/n)...!" I started to back away from him as my face heated up "I-I'm sorry! I just really needed a hug and-!" I was interrupted by Garry's coat in in my face and a small chuckle from Garry as he buried his nose into my hair. "Well I wouldn't blame you, everyone needs a hug because of scary situations. Don't worry about it, I'm not mad." He said into my hair. I grabbed his shirt and snuggled deeper in his chest to hear his steady heart beat to make sure that everything is ok and nothing is fake within in him. After about 20 minutes of us holding each other close, I finally get up to heal my rose. I place my rose in the vase full of water and watch it almost instantly grow back into life. I looked back at Garry and smiled warmly "I think it looks better, what do you think?" Garry nods and smiles. As I turn around, I feel a hand on my shoulder, I turn around to meet Garry's once again worried gaze. "Um.... (Y/n)... Can-can I hear about your dream?" My eyes widened at the question. "Uh.. Sure sure, just... Can we sit down, I may get emotional. Garry nodded as we sat over in the corner next to a book shelf. "Well it all started when I think I was in a dark cold room and saw a pair of red gleaming eyes coming closer to me every single second. I tried to run away or scream for help, but I couldn't. The eyes came into view but I don't remember what the face looked like at all, all I know is that it had something to do with the color blue." I paused to sigh "Anyway, the thing picked me up and started to walk back into the darkness. I heard something calling my name and I looked around frantically to see who it was. That was... until..... I looked down." "What did you see?" Garry asked in concern. My grip tightened on my skirt as I looked down to the floor letting my (H/c) hair cover my face "Wh-What I saw was... Well... You." Garry's eyes widened as I told him "Y-You were laughing, surrounded by those-those things... I was terrified. You were a lot different then now with dead eyes, and a maniacal grin, and-and-and really quirky body movements.... I tried to call out to you, hoping that maybe you could become the old Garry... But-but you just kept on screaming at me." at this point, Garry was pretty terrified of himself as well as I continued my dream "In-In the end, you told me that you loved me and-and I said tha-" I was about to say the rest but then remembered that if I did I would be literally be confessing my feelings to Garry in a whole different way. Instead I continued telling him "We-Well I said that I loved the old Garry as a friend. Then you got mad at me and started to kiss me roughly.... the worst part about it was that you were cold and everything around me was cold and the horrible red eyes and... and-" Garry placed his finger over my lips to shush me, that's when I noticed his face. Garry was blushing a bright red which made me tilt my head in confusion "Garry, is something wrong? Why are you blushing?" I questioned. He then realized that he was blushing a deep red which made him blush even more and an even darker blush to spread across his face. "O-Oh! No reason at all!" He laughed awkwardly as I smirked but brushed it off. I stood up and went for the door "At this rate, there is no way we will be able to leave this weird place. Let's go guys!" I smiled as Ib and Garry followed behind me. Yep this is gonna be scary, but I have Garry who I really do like and he will always be with me no matter what, or will he?
