~Garry~

"Earlier, I saw a girl wearing that same exact green dress your wearing now. Her hair was blonde and her eyes were blue, just like you." I explained to her.

I felt Ib tug on my jacket sleeve lightly. "Hm?"

I looked down to see fear in her eyes. "It's ok, Ib. I'll protect you. I made a promise." I reassured her.

I knew what she was thinking. 'What if Garry gets hurt?' Well, I can assure her that it won't happen. Ever.

"Let's make a deal..." Mary started, "You give me your pretty roses and I'll leave you two alone."

Ib and I exchanged looks, I think this is the reason why we made the fake roses.

"Oh and I don't want those fake ones.." Mary added.

My eyes widened in surprise. How did she know?! "How do you know that?" I asked.

"I don't need both of your roses then. You can just give me one." She sighed.

I turned to Ib, she had this look in her eyes that told me not to do it. But I had to protect her at all costs.

I think she knew what I was about to do because she grabbed her real rose. "No Ib, don't do it!" I grabbed her rose.

I pulled out my real rose and handed it to Mary, "Here. If you must have someone's, take mine." I said as she snatched it right out of my hands.

"Garry!" Ib yelled at me, "What's wrong with you?! She's going to kill you!"

I shook my head, "I don't care. If you far your rose she would've killed you and I can't allow that."

I suddenly gasped when the pain hit me. One of my petals was ripped off the rose. "No!! Mary don't!" Ib screeched as she ran to Mary.

~Ib~

I ran to Mary to try and stop her but she grabbed three petals at once, "Don't come any closer, Ib. I'll rip this whole flower apart." She threatened me.

Tears formed at the corners of my eyes and quickly fell. "Mary.... please..... don't hurt him...." I pleaded.

"We can make a deal." She said, "I like the color red more anyways."

A small gasp left my lips. "O... Okay." I said reluctantly as I pulled out my rose, my life. "Take mine. Just give Garry's back!" I added.

"Ooooh~ Pretty!!" Mary giggled as she dropped Garry's rose and took mine. Garry's rose fell so far that some of it's petals fell off. I grabbed it quickly and looked around for a vase.

There! By where the big rose used to be! I exclaimed in my head. I ran over to the vase and dipped Garry's rose in. It was fully replenished almost instantly. Before I could take it out I fell to my knees in a sudden pain. My chest hurt so badly.

I couldn't even make any noise, the pain was just unbearable. "IB!!" I heard Garry scream as he yelled over to me. "Why did you do that? You're going to get yourself KILLED!" Garry yelled in a panic as he picked me up and ran back down the hallway.

He found some red rose petals and followed them all the way to a room. I could already feel my life drain away at the seconds.

Garry whipped open the door and found Mary close to pulling off my last petal. "STOP!" He yelled.

She froze while turning her head slowly towards us. "Didn't we make a deal?" She growled darkly at us.

"You weren't supposed to take her life away!!" He snapped at her while putting me down.

I had no strength left so I just lay down. I hated the feeling of weakness, being nothing but a bug to the people bigger than you. But yet, this was what it was.

I know Garry hates me for doing what I did, but I wasn't letting him die. He's too important to me.

"Well Ib gave me the rose! She gave it to me, so it's mine now. I can do whatever I want with my new rose! Even if that means taking it apart!" Mary screeched.

"It's not..... just... a rose. I thought Ib was your friend! How could you do that to her?!" Garry yelled back.

"I thought she was my friend but all she wants to do is be with YOU!!" Mary screamed.

~Garry~

"I thought she was my friend but all she wants to do is be with YOU!!" Mary screamed while punching my stomach.

"Agh!" I whimpered out.

"Garry....." Ib said weakly.

"Don't worry, Ib...... I'm fine." I said, trying not to let my voice shake as I stood up straight.

Mary was almost as tall as me, but she was about the same age as Ib. I was still the tallest in this room.

Or at least I thought I was.

Mary whistled loudly and a big blue doll came out of a blank painting that covered the entire wall. It's head was almost touching the ceiling!

Mary had left Ib's rose on the ground so I took my chance to take it back.

I put Ib's rose safe in my jacket pocket. On the inside. Just so Mary wouldn't be able to get it, or anyone else in that matter.

"Ummm... where do I put useless things again??" Mary said thinking hard. "Oh right! The T R A S H!!" She said, saying the word 'trash' very slowly. "Put him in the trash!" Mary yelled, pointing at me.

"Whaaaaa-!!" I screamed as the big blue doll got closer to me.
