"...."
"You can't run away like your mother, ever, again." The man smiled satisfactorily.
"Where...." Eve whispered. "Are my...legs?"
"Don't worry...I froze them up well." He replied, removing the bloody rubber gloves from his hands.
"Why...." She choked, tears streaming down. "My...My dream was to be a ballerina...and..you just...took them away..how could you?" Her voice barely a whisper.
"...Eve..I'm sorry..I-I didn't know" The man looked shocked and sort of guilty.
"YOU BASTARD!" Eve cried. "YOU ONLY THINK ABOUT YOUR WANTS! HOW ABOUT THE OTHERS?"
The man was quiet for a moment. He took a stool and sat on it. "I..I just wanted a perfect family for you..and your mother that will last forever..at least in my eyes."
"What?" Eve smiled sarcastically. "It was.Until you broke it. Now...everyone I love...is gone. And its all your fault."
"I'm sorry...but I will do anything I can to make your dream come true." The man said confidently.
"Just...please let me go. I want my life back..." Eve begged earnestly. "Please....im begging you...Grandfather."
He looked up in surprise. The girl had finally acknowledge him!
"Believe in me..you will be free very soon, my dear!" He announced proudly, madness swirling in his eyes.
Eve stared hopelessly at him and her heart sank.
"Where are you..Garry? I thought you said you would protect me..."

"Ahh...my head...." Garry mumbled. He was back in the art gallery, where there were people looking at the art exhibits. A security guard approached him.
"Sir, are you alright? Why are you lying here?"
"I dont know.... But thank you I'm find now.." Garry seeemed confused. Why was he lying here? He managed to stand up with the help of the guard. After the guard left, Garry looked around and recalled he was in an art gallery.
"Its 4pm....A saturday...right?" He recalled hard. "Ahh..i better start heading back home...I feel sick...*cough* *cough*"
"Heyy Papa! Come see this ! Come see this! Its really pretty!" A girl from afar shouted excitedly. The father hurried to quiet her down and headed down the hall with her.
"Hmm? What got her so excited? Maybe i should take a look before i head home.." Garry laughed.
"Look papa!" The girl pointed happily.
Right in front of Garry was a figurine of a red haired ballerina. It was actually really well made. Looked almost like a real girl. Garry stepped forward ,beside the father and daughter.
"Yes its really pretty, Yumi." The father standing beside Garry replied with a chuckle. "Do you want to be like her someday? Then you have to practice hard in ballet classes,okay?"
"Yes Papa!" The girl piped.
"Sigh...little girls dreams huh" The father laughed. Garry nodded and smiled. Suddenly as he was looking at the figurine, he felt something flowing down his left cheek.
"...a tear?" Garry was surprised of himself. "Im...crying? Why?" He doesn't understand.
