Save You, Save Me

May Come In Handy

"Grieving Bride" I muttered. Ib looked up at me as Garry looked at the moving hands. "WHat does grieving mean?" Ib asked me. "Well grief... means....Sadness and loss." I said to her. "So she's sad because she lost something?" Ib asked me. " I guess so" I said. "I think we should press on." Garry said to us for behind us.

"Yaaah!What is THAT?! Gross is what!" Garry yelled. "Why are there eyes on the floor?" he asked. "I don't know. Why is anything here?"I pointed out. "Good point" He muttered. "I will agree that was gross" I said to him as Ib dragged us. "But, did you see the one eye?" I asked him. "There was many eyes." he stated. " the one looked like it had pink eye or something." I muttered. "What's pink eye?" Ib asked. "It's something that can happens to eyes sweetie." I said to Ib.

"Labyrinth" I whispered. Ib looked up at me, confused. "A maze" I whispered to her. "Do you hear that?" Garry asked me. I listened and heard footsteps, they were coming closer. "Go left." He said as he grabbed me hand and started running left. We ran pass a headless statue and ran into a little room. "There's a trick to solving mazes... Hug the right the right hand side and you'll reach the end eventually." Garry read aloud before he sighed. "Not a bad trick...." he went on "but that doesn't help the ceiling being far too low for comfort. Not to mention those weird things loitering around... gives me the creeps. "Be careful not to get trapped between the,okay,Ib?" I said to Ib. Garry's hand tightened around my. I looked over at him and saw the concern and worry on his face.

"Garry, Violet?" Ib said and I looked over. Two of the statues had walked in. I tightened my grip and moved out of the way. "Come on." I said to them. I stood up and ran to the other end of the maze, there stood a canvas. "Check directly south from the red paint." I said. "I saw three on the floor." Ib said to me. I let go of their hand's. "I have an idea of which one." I said as I walked away. Garry grabbed my arm cause me to turn and face him. "We stick together." He said to me. "Fine, but if we get cornered get her out." I whispered in him.

"Got it" I whispered as I pressed the button. I turned around to see the statues coming for us. Garry grabbed Ib and put her over his shoulder as he grabbed my hand. He spirited around the maze trying to find the exit. I could barely keep up with him and a piece of the carpet can up causing me to trip.I got up and looked up and saw a statue where Garry used to be. I turned and ran back up the way we came until I was next to the canvas. I ran straight down hearing the statues following behind me. I turned left when there was no other way to go. I grabbed the door as the statue grabbed me cause one of my petals to fall off. I throw the door at her, ran out and closed the door.

I found myself leaning on the door, catching my breath. I closed my eyes and listened my racing heart. I felt the little hands around me. I opened my eyes and looked down to see Ib hugging me. "I'm sorry I scared you Ib." I said her and placed my hand on her hand. I looked up to see Garry standing there, he had a smile on his face,but there was tears in his eyes. Ib let go of me as I walked over to him. "Garry?-" I said as I put my hand on his shoulder. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me in to hug him. "Are you alright? Are you in pain?" He asked me.

Ib was tugging on my coat. I looked down at her as Garry let me go. "Are you ok?" Ib asked me. I reached in my coat and carefully pulled out my rose. 6 petals left. "I'm fine Ib." I said to her. She smiled up at me, trying to hid her fear. "Are you alright?' I asked her. She pulled out her rose, all 5 petals, at least she's ok. "Are you alright?" I asked Garry as I looked up at him. He pulled his out his rose showing all 10 petals. "How did we loss you?" Ib asked me. "I tripped." I said to her.

"You tripped, on what?" Garry asked me. I looked down, I known what happened, but telling him might make him feel guilty, but liying will make me feel guilty. I sighed and looked up at him. "I tripped on the carpet after it came up." I said looking him in the eyes. Garry looked down. "Well, you ok now." Ib said to me as I looked down at her and smiled at her. "You do have a point Ib." I said to her. She grabbed my hand and started walking. I took my other hand and grabbed Garry's hand.

"What's this?" I asked as the door closed behind us. "It looks like an art class" Garry said to me." I'll get the eye drops." Ib said as she started moving stools. I sat down on one of the stools and fell backwards as I moved to the side. "Really? Why does this keep happening?" I said, looked up from the floor.

"Are you alright?" Garry asked as he extended he hand out. "I'm fine thank you." I said as he pulled me up, and again he pulled me up too fast causing me to fall into him. I looked up at him, and found my face was warming up. "I got the eye drops.... What going on?" Ib asked us. I turned and looked at her. " She fell Ib." Garry said to Ib. "Then why are two still hugging?" Ib asked us. I didn't even realize he was still holding me. "Garry pulled me off the floor." I stated to her. "Ok." Ib said as she took my hand and pulled me away. Garry walked up and took my hand.

Ib walked over to the eye as Garry and I stood there. She just stared at it and both just stared at her. "Ib, what are you doing?" Garry asked her. She walked over to me and handed me the drops. "What's going on?" I asked her. She just shock her head at me. "Ok, do you want me to do it?" I asked her. She just nodded at me. I walked over to the eye and poured the drop on it. I moved under my feet and I followed it.

"What is it staring at?" Garry asked me. I just shrugged as the eye closed and Ib walked over to the wall. "Look the wall has a different color." Ib said pointing at it and the wall moved out of the way. I walked over Ib as Garry followed us. Ib took my hand as I took the lead and there on the floor was a red ball. I picked it up and looked it over. "where do you in goes?" Ib asked me. "No idea.'' I said as we walked out.

"How about this one." Garry asked Ib looked at the snake. Ib just shock her head at him. "What are you two doing?" I asked them. "Ib don't like this one." Garry said to me. "What wrong with the snake?" I asked her. "It's missing it's eye." Ib pointed out as I walked up to it. I pulled out the red ball and looked back up at the painting. I shoved it in and turned around. "That looks better." Ib said with a smile.

Garry turned and looked at the fallen painting. "Behind the big tree." Garry said as I looked around. "What tree?" I asked him. He just shrugged at me. Ib started walking away from us as we slowly followed her.

"Was that always there?" Garry asked. "It showed up after we left the maze." Ib stated as she open the door. We walked in slowly and as the door closed the light flickered. "Wine sofa." I read outloud. "That doesn't look like very comfortable sitting." Garry said next to me. Ib pulled me to the next one. "Melancholy" I read outloud. "Melancholy, huh. Well really, who wouldn't be in the place?" Garry asked as Ib pulled me to the next one. "Puzzle" Garry read outloud. I turned and looked over at it. I just stared at it as I took a step back. "Those aren't real bones." Garry said. Ib walked over to the last one. "Feeling." she read outloud.

"You gotta be pretty clever to come up with this stuff.' Garry said to us as Ib walked behind it and pulled out a silver ring. "Isn't this...a wedding ring? Now what would this be doing here?" Garry asked us. Ib grabbed my hand and dragged me out the door. And walked down the hallway where we came thur.

Ib places the ring on the ring finger and the hand stop moving. The bride throw her bouquet. I walked over and picked it up. "We found what she lost, now she shouldn't be grieving." Ib stated. "Ib how do you know that word?" Garry asked her. " Violet told me." Ib said to him. "And" Ib went on "shouldn't Violet be the next bride? She does have the bouquet?" Id asked Garry. " that's up to her, Ib." Garry said to her. "I think Violet would look pretty in a wedding dress, like the one the lady is wearing, don't you think so Garry?" Ib asked him.

"Um.. well she would look lovely." Garry said, his face was turning bright pink as my face warmed up. "I think she should a bouquet like that when she get married." Ib said to us. "Ib sweetie, most of the time I'm thinking about school work."I said to Ib as I bent down to look at her. "You should still have dreams." Garry muttered. I sighed as I stood back up.

Ib and Garry walked ahead of me as I carried to bouquet. They really are pretty roses. Maybe taking one won't hurt anyone and who knows maybe it with come in handy. Like if I get cornered again, I could trick one of those ladies.... I pulled out two of them. I just wanted one. We stopped and I looked up. "Ehehehe, hehehehehe....Flowers....flowers're nice.." the painting said to us. "Give me that there flower and I'll let you though...ehehe..." it when on as I places the roses in coat outer pocket. "Ehehe....your flower, pretty please?" It asked us. "Here" I said handing it the bouquet. "Ehehehe, thanks... It smells niiiice....eheheh" it said to me. "Well, chow time!" it said before it ate the bouquet. "Ahhh, that was good...eheheh. Thank you, thank so much... As promised, you can go through. Just take this door in.... Well, see ya...eheheheh!" it said as a door was in place of where the painting was.
