Hey guys! This is my first fanfic! It's not going to be as great as other authors but I do hope you like it! Please review!

Chapter 1: Guertena's Gallery

I know my mother loves paintings, that's probably why we are at the gallery. My mother loves the paintings of Guertena. Guertena is a weird artist. He creates weird paintings and sculptures. I don't understand what they are supposed to express but my mother seems to like it, no, she loves it.

Once we are at the gallery I could hear classical music. It is unusual for galleries to have music but it is soothing. Mother asks me, "Why don't you go look around the gallery, I'm sure you will find something interesting. Your father and I are just getting the pamphlets; we'll catch up to you later." I nod and walk off to explore the huge maze-like gallery.

I see many weird paintings and sculptures. I put my hand in the pocket of my skirt and I feel something, it's a handkerchief that Mother got me for my birthday. Now I remember, Mother told me to keep it safe and not to lose it. I put the handkerchief back in my pocket safely.

I see almost all the paintings in the gallery, as of expect, they are all weird. But as I walk, one painting fascinates me. It is a long painting with a lot of pretty things in it. It has roses, people, dolls and all sorts of things. I read the title, "? World". I do not know this word. Suddenly, the soothing classical music stops, all the lights dims and everyone disappears. I look around, Mother, Father, no one is here except for me. They all vanishes into thin air.

I check the doors, the doors are locked. Then I spot a message on the wall, "come down below ib, we have a secret to show you" I am curious about this 'secret'. Then I see blue footprints leading to the floor painting named "? of the deep" That's when I realise the fish in the painting is not there. I stand in front of the painting and close my eyes. I feel something dragging me down, then a splash but I don't feel wet.

I open my eyes, I see myself in a dark corridor.

(TBC)

I will post the 2nd chapter sometime in the month. If I am not active enough, it's mainly because of school. I apologize about that.
