Back To The Drawing Board: Chapter 2 The Shadow

Bold = Character's Thoughts

Bold + Italics = Author Notes

Wha- That was a shadow right? I'm not crazy, am I?

"You saw that too right?" I say sounding unsure of myself

"Yeah I thought I was the only one"

"Well, should we probably try to find where the shadow went, because who knows what it could be?"

"I agree, let's try to find it"

We start to walk and there is a door to a room so we open the door obviously, and of course, we are greeted by yet another puzzle there were a bunch of chests lined up 3 by 3, seriously can the person beneath the shadow go through walls or something? like this was literally the direction the shadow went, oh well no point in complaining I guess

Find the key, I mean seems easy I guess? I've never really done puzzles and stuff until I came here

"So uh who goes first?" I say in a questioned tone

"I'll go first, but remember to be careful most of these chests might be harmful" Garry says

"Oh alright then, go ahead"

I saw Garry then starting to walk around the room while in a thinking posture he then goes to the middle row and goes to the left chest and opens it 

When he did there was a stickman like figure who jumps up and slaps Garry in the face

Garry then takes a long pause and makes a face that says 'wow ok' before saying

"Ok wow that surely isn't it"

Yeah, ya think?

"Anyway I'll go next" I say

"Alright then"

I then walk to the top row of the chests and kinda start to think really hard about this I stand there for about 10-20 seconds before deciding on the chest on the middle 

I then open it and something jumps out kind like what happened with Garry

And it steals a petal from my rose and immediately I start to feel a little bit of pain on my right arm, And I start to rub my arm to hopefully get rid of the pain

"Are you ok?" I hear Garry saying with a concerned expression on his face

"Yeah, I'm alright" I say

"Ok i'll try another chest"

Garry goes to the bottom row and chooses the right he opens the chest and inside there's a green button 

"Uh, should I click it?"

"Ok sure"

He grabs the button out of the chest and looks at it hesitantly before pressing the button 

When he does we hear a clicking sound

"Huh? What was that?" I say sounding confused

"I don't know shall we go investigate it?"

"Alright"   

We exit the room and we start walking to the right because that seems to be the only path we can go on we walk for a little while as I look at some of the paintings there after walking for about 3 minutes there's a door we go inside and we see a vase filled with water

"What's this?" I say

"I don't know, Hey wait a sec your rose petal got removed earlier, Perhaps this will help it somehow?" 

"Huh, Maybe you're right"

I put my rose inside the vase and immediately the rose grew back it's petals

"Oh wow it actually worked" I say

"Wait a sec there's another door" Garry says as he points to the left

"Yeah, that's true"

We start walking towards the door and right when we reach it we reach to a halt

"What could be on the otherside of the door?" I say

"I don't know guess there's one way to find out"

Garry then reaches for the door, Seriously how does he have so much bravery for this?

"Door's open"

We go inside the door

"Woah!"

(A/N) Another Chapter out! I'm really sorry that this is shorter than my usual chapters, I've just been having really bad writers block lately and I don't really know what to write, But! I do have a pretty good idea for chapters 4 and 5 so those might be a little longer, But anyway I'm gonna end it off here so, Bye!
