Chapter 4: Red Room

"Finally, I got in the room. Getting that code was such a pain. But this room is really..."said Lucy.

Looking around, it seems that this room is kitchen made of wood. There is a wooden mango on the countertop of a counter and Lucy took it and left. She headed towards the painting of the lips on the wall.

"I...can somehow hear it. The lips. It's hungry for food."said Lucy and she placed the mango in the lips' mouth and the lips spoke.

"What you did for me was great. I shall let you pass through me...through my mouth!"said the Lips and she opened wide. Wide enough for Lucy to go through.

Lucy thought this was totally disgusting, but went through anyways.

                                                                                 ***

"Why is it...why is it that I could know what the lips wanted and how to feed it..."Lucy thought to herself.

Before she knew it, she was going down red stairs and she appeared in a red room. She saw a figure dart by and she followed it into another red room. 

Some lady in the painting came to life and started chasing Lucy.

"Aaaah! I got to find the key to open that door over there!"said Lucy screaming.

In no time at all, Lucy saw the red key on the ground and picked it up. She went around some statues to avoid the woman and unlocked the door and shut it tight. 

"Phew! That was a close call. Hey! There is a vase here! I can make myself feel better!"said Lucy and she put the rose in the vase and then took it out.

She turned left and saw a boy, maybe one year older than her. He had golden hair and his eyes were closed. He was unconcious and he was holding on to something.

"A key! I'll just take that!"said Lucy and she swiped the key right from his loose hands. 

Lucy saw a painting right on top by him. It was just colours as a backround. 

"I feel like...I've seen him before. But who cares! I've got a key in my hands!" said Lucy and she ran away. Leaving the boy there.

Lucy continued along the path where the boy was and saw a huge metal statue blocking the door.

"I can't move this. Even if I tried...I know the outcome."said Lucy then she left the place. 

She returned to where the vase was and headed leftwards.

There, she saw another vase, but it was hollow. It also had the note beside it saying "You and the rose are ???". She was in a weird room of course. She looked around the room and there was a spot where a painting is supposed to be and there was blood on the floor and green petals on the floor. 

"So apparently, inside this room I am in currently, lies another small room with a window. Maybe I can check it out." said Lucy.

Lucy used her small key to open the door and there lied a woman that came alive from a painting. She seems to have a green rose. When she saw Lucy she started chasing her around the small room.

On Lucy's way out, she grabbed the green rose and ran out of the room and returned to where the vase was.
