A Thousand Years Of Waiting

Ib stood in front of the painting. The painting past down for generations starting with her seriously great grandmother who bought this in the past. Everything changed since that time though. Ib's great grandmother always sang a song to the picture. " A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri supposively. It was considered a classic due to us being in the future. Ib loved the song and sang it to the painting. While singing it she swore she saw the painting open it's eyes and smile sweetly. To a sixteen year old, that's freaky as hell. She continued the song regardless of the encounter. She started to smell roses as she saw a hand come from the painting, asking for hers. Surprised she saw the man in the painting smiling. "It's ok Ib." Who is here, Ib wondered. " You remember me saving you from the museum don't you?" The painting, Ib screamed in her mind. "Tell me your name. My great grandmother is gone. I am one of her decendants. She bought this and passed it down, generation to generation," Ib told the painting. " But you look, sound, and still sing that song... My name is Garry. Your name is Ib too I'm guessing," Ib heard the painting say. " That it is, will you protect my..." Ib covered her mouth. " Protect your what, Ib?" " I have her memories... She loved you and wanted to give you her heart. A thousand years of waiting and now finally the spirit has awakened. I... She always wondered if you would protect her heart," Ib said, about to cry. " Ib, please take my hand and pull me out of this thing. I loved your great grandmother. I... Saved her. All because I loved her..." Ib grabbed Garry's hand and pulled.

Garry sprung out of the painting. First thing he did was kiss Ib tenderly on her lips, stealing her first kiss. " I see why I... She loved you," Ib said blushing. " I'm glad to be free... Thank you for freeing me... Sweet Ib," Garry said, hugging Ib.

This was short and sweet... I was listening to the song featured in this chapter. I'll post the next one soon if anyone reads this. probably be up by the time someone reads this. Well dear reader, I hope you enjoyed. I'll post this weekend if possible maybe earlier.

Sincerly,
