Ib

The meeting

Ib's pov.

The first thing I notice in the green room was the various paintings of bugs on the walls. There was also an ant on the floor.

The ant looks at me for a moment before speaking. "I am an ant!"

I blink a few times. Did the ant just...speak? I look over at the tiny black bug and respond back. "I know what you are."

"I love my painting...but its so far away!" The ant complains. It then scurries along the floor with a pouty face.

I roll my eyes and walk down the narrow hallway. A hand comes out of nowhere and plucks a petal off of my rose. I scream and wince in a bit of pain.

I move to the center of the hallway and keep moving. Four more hands come out and try to kill me.

I walk over to the door and try to open it, but it wouldn't budge.

"Of course it's locked." I sigh. That's when j notice the painting of a black ant beside the door. I examine it and notice that it can be taken off the wall.

I take the painting down and walk through the gauntlet of arms once more.

"Here's your painting" I say and show it to the ant.

"Cool! Its exactly as I remember it!" It says and stares at it.

I nod slowly, somewhat annoyed with the ant. I then walk over to the right. There was more to the hallway. I walk until u reach the green colored door at the end of it.

I walk in and see a large hole in the floor. Just big enough that I couldn't get over it. I look to make sure the ant wasn't there and may the painting down on the floor.

It made a wobbly bridge, and as I walked across it I notice that the ant in the painting gets crushed and red paint oozes from the paper.

I quickly travel to the door on the other side. I walk in and see that there was a small room on the other side of it. There was a headless statue and a key on the floor.

I shrug and pick up the key. As I do so, the stature walks towards me.

Startled, I take a few steps back. The chase began. The red statue follows me through the door and over the painting. But, the painting gives out and the statue falls into the deep dark hole.

I sigh in relief and keep moving. I unlock the door and find myself in a yellow colored room with two doors and a fish shaped hole in the wall.

I go to the left and see a room filled with eight pillars. There was a stick figure on one of them with a note underneath it.

'Play hide and seek?' It read.

The stick figure disappeared and seven switches appear on each of the curtain covered pillars.

I choose my switch and press it. Behind the curtain was a painting of a moon. All of the sudden, the room goes dark.

"That wasn't it.." I mumble.

I chose my next switch carefully. I press it and behind the curtain was a very...sinister... Painting.

I gulp and press a third switch. It was the stick figure. Another note appears next to him.

'You found me! You get a prize.'

I hear a soft clink noise and look at the painting in the front of the room. There was a wooden fish head laying on the ground.

I pick up the fish head and move on the the room in the right. It appeared to be a storage area of sculptures.

I walk past a row of head sculptures and notice one of them had red eyes. That one was...following me!
