[Your P.o.V]
Garry looked really surprised to hear that, and when you said that, memories of your parents and friends...And of the soft warm sunlight flooded your head. As he went on in shock, you felt water in your eyes and turned your head.
"Wait!Your the one..that they must think has been dead for..ten years..." He paused and looked at you..A soft caring look in his eyes.
"You..My parents are still alive and well? Do..They still come to the gallery?" You gained hope...At least a small bit of what you had left.
Garry nodded.
"Yes. They visit the gallery so they can remember you, and cherish your memory..To keep your spirit alive."
The both of you sat in silence as tears fell down your cheek and dripped to the floor.
"I miss them so much..Its hard to be alone, and scared for years with no one to know that you still even exist, or no one to comfort you! To worry about if you are still even sane...To worry about if you will ever get out of this cruel cage of a world where your life can just wilt away like a rose! Just to be turned into what this world is! ART!!"
You clutched your rose tightly, the thorns piercing your skin, causing it to bleed. Talking was limited because you were crying so hard.
Garry looked at you. He got up and walked over to where you were sitting, taking your rose away from your hand as he sat down. As you sat with your knees to your chest, Garry wrapped his arms around you and pulled you closer.
"I wish I got here sooner, [Y/N]. No one can stay alone and strong for that long and walk away alright. I'm here now, and I PROMISE you this..We WILL get out of here. Stay strong for a bit longer.."
You put your head on his chest, and he held you.
You stayed like that for an hour.
"So, there are two others, correct?" You looked up at him and he nodded.
"Yes. We all got separated, and need to become the opposite of that."
"Well, lets go find them. If they are just kids, then they will need our help sooner or later."
Both of you got up, and you put your bandanna around your hand, and your rose in your hair.
When you left the room, you started walking. Garry put his hands in his pockets and realized that he was finding balls of paint. He just needed one more, and the only room he hadn't checked was the doll room.
"Hey, [Y/N]..Have you seen a red ball of paint anywhere?"
You stopped at the door to the other room. There was a doll in front of it, and that wasn't there before! Its stomach was...Expanded?
You looked back at Garry with a questioned look. He was trembling a bit.
"That's the freaky doll that wouldn't leave me alone!"
You turned around to face the doll again, and there was something written beside of it.
"I HAVe foUnd a TreASUre! I aM KeePinG it, tOo!"
With a sigh, you picked up the doll, and ripped it open. The ball of paint was inside of it.
You dropped it, and the moment it hit the floor, it ran between your legs into the room.
"BLEH!" You jumped and handed Garry the paint.
"Although I don't want to, we need to go in that room."
Garry froze for a few seconds, but then moved.
You slowly opened the door, and walked in.
There were so many indigo colored dolls with red eyes and smiles on their faces. The room was small, and there was a white painting on one of the walls. A white paintball was in front of it.
"Hey! That's the last one!" Garry said as he walked up to it, grabbing it.
You were standing by the door. The moment he placed the paint ball in his pocket, the door shut and locked!
The dolls started to chant.
"Come find the key! Oh! Where could it be? Inside of me? No! Come find the key!"
Garry went into complete panic and started ripping the dolls up. You did the same.
While the both of you were trying to find the key, the white painting started to reveal one of the dolls, but this one was huge, and started to come out of the painting, trying to reach whoever it could. It kept getting bigger as bell tolls were heard.
"No! WHERE IS IT?!" Garry was panicking.
After he said that, you found a silver key in a doll.
"Garry! I found it!!" You said with a smile. But, when you looked up, the giant doll was close to him, getting ready to grab him.
You ran over to him, placed the key in his hand, and pushed him to the door. He fumbled the key in his hands and unlocked it.
As the doll was getting closer to you, you pushed Garry through the door and fell behind him on the floor.
You laid there caching your breath as something wrapped itself around your leg and started pulling you.
Trying to escape from its grasp, you grabbed the carpet Taking your hands,Garry was trying to pull you away. But, you felt yourself slipping.
"Garry!" You cried as you slipped from his grasp and was pulled into the doll room. The door slamming in front of you, leaving you in the darkness. Garry fell on his face.

[Garry's P.o.V]
I immediately got up and tried to open the door.
"[Y/N]!!!! NOOOOO!!!!![Y/N]!!!"
I took the key from my pocket and tried to unlock the door, but it shattered.
I kept slamming the myself against the door.
From outside, I could hear the dolls laughing, fabric ripping, and [Y/N] fighting to get away.
"No!! LET GO OF ME!!! AAAAAAHHHHH!!! GARRY! HELP ME!!"
That made me slam against the door even harder.
When I was to weak to do anything, I sank to the floor resting against the door that refused to open.
I sat there..Knowing that I could do nothing.
Then I saw her rose.
I grabbed it and started to fill with hope again..But..It was slightly wilting.
For a while, I sat there with her rose. In silence.
But, the silence was broken when I heard the door click.
I jumped up, with [Y/N]'s rose. That was when I realized..
The door was open!!!
I ran inside and turned on the lights. The painting was ripped, and there were limbs of them everywhere. Blue paint was splattered on the floor.
And [Y/N] was lying there.
Not moving.
"[Y/N]?!" I ran over to her and flipped her over where I could see her face. Her dress had tears and paint on it. Her leg had cuts from where the thing grabbed her, and was bleeding slightly. Her breathing was shallow, but then I realized that she was sleeping.
I heard footsteps and looked up.
Ib and Mary were in the doorway.
"We need to get out of here. Now." I said as I picked up the sleeping [Y/N].
We found a room away from the one we were in, and we all rested. I gave Ib and Mary my coat for a blanket, and took off my tank-top so I could help get the blood and paint off of [Y/N].
When I was done, I moved to the door, sat down in front of it, and fell asleep.
