The Toybox

Chapter 1 - Into The Museum

Sally's POV

"Sally, Mary! C'mon girls, we're gonna leave without you!"

"Sorry Mom! I'm coming!" I called. I ran to Mary's Room's Door. "Mary! Mom wants us to hurry!!"

"Okay." I heard Mary say quietly. She wasn't always so quiet and shy. She used to be laughing, and cheerful all the time, but ever since dad went missing, she was never the same.

I grabbed my bag and ran downstairs. "I'm ready Mom! Mary's coming!" I said

"Mary! Hurry up we're gonna be late!!" My Mom called upstairs for Mary

Mary ran downstairs as fast as she could. "Sorry..."

We walked outside, I ran ahead and looked around. I loved nature. We got into the car and drove off into the museum.

--AT THE MUSEUM--

I looked around at the pale peach colored walls, and at the near-white ground as our mom payed for entry. As soon as we were allowed to go further, our mom said we were allowed to go off on our own... but I had to stay with Mary, and vice-versa. We walked for a while around the place. We found a mini roller coaster that took you around in circles by paintings that made it look like you were moving really fast- which you were. I went around a few times, but Mary didn't wanna go. She was too busy looking at a painting. I left the mini rollercoaster and started to walk over to her. Suddenly, she was gone. I took another step to make sure my eyes weren't playing a point-of-view prank on me. And then the lights went out. As if this couldn't get any worse! But I could still see enough to read and see things- It wasn't pitch black. I walked towards the painting that had "taken Mary away". It was titled, "Mysterious Man". I walked a little closer. I felt myself get dragged towards the painting as well. The next thing I knew, I was on the other side of it.
