As Romeo kept walking, the doll kept appearing. Asking Romeo to take him. Romeo ignored it. Romeo reached the end of the hall and went through the door.

Romeo was in a room with multiple rooms. He went to the first door and tried to open it. It was locked.

"Why is the doorknob...freezing?"said Romeo.

                                                                                        ***

"All these doors we checked so far are locked Lucy."said Lisajane.

"How about this door?"said Lucy.

She twisted the knob and it opened. It was a small room with five bookcases and a little keyhole.

"You need a key...well there is nothing here that we can do. Let's see if there's another door that is open."said Lisajane.

And they went out of that room.

                                                                                       ***

"I should check the other doors"said Romeo.

He went to the far back room and opened the door. Inside were eight little stone holders. A note on the wall spells out: Collect all the balls of glass.

Romeo went out of the room and he found a red ball of glass. It disappeared.

"It probably teleported to the stands with the slots. Better look for more"said Romeo.

                                                                                     ***

Lucy and Lisajane went into a room and found a key.  

"Hey! This could be the key that fits into the wall we found earlier."said Lisajane.

  "Yeah. Let's try it"said Lucy.

  Lucy took the key and they went to the small room. Lucy inserted the key and twisted it. You could hear a click.

  "So what did it do?"said Lucy.  

"I actually have no idea. Let's look around."said Lisajane.                                                                                    

                                                                                          ***

"What year was I created my boy?"said a painting. 

  "It says on his painting. So um... 5287?"said Romeo.  

"You are correct!"said the painting.  

A yellow glassball appeared beside Romeo. Romeo touched it and it disappeared.

  "Only six more glassballs to go."said Romeo.  

Romeo entered a room full of gas. He saw a glassball on the side. The gas was all blue, but it's dangerous.  

"There's also a vase here! If I could make it to the ball and put my rose in the vase..."said Romeo.  

Romeo started walking towards the ball, it was orange. He touched it and it disappeared.  

"I'm already starting to feel weak, I got to make it to the vase before I die. I need to see Lucy and Lisajane again. I can't just die on them. *cough cough*"said Romeo quietly.  

Romeo finally reached the vase and he put his rose in. He was back to normal. He looked to his right and saw a switch. He slowly reached for the switch and pulled it.    The gas was gone.  

"There's something over here."said Romeo.  

He picked up an umbrella and left the room.

  "I almost died back there..."said Romeo.  

Romeo just stood there looking at the floor, for some time.  

"I got to see Lucy and Lisajane again."said Romeo.
