I have so much company and so many friends to play with. The ladies in the portraits will always keep me entertained by telling me jokes and funny stories. The blue dolls will always join me in random doodling. The headless statues will always tuck me in bed. The mannequin heads always make me feel better somehow. They will let me vent my anger out on them by kicking them hard or stabbing them with a palette knife. But they were nice enough to forgive me.
However, I got tired of them all.
My life here in Guertena's Fabricated World was simply the same everyday. What I really wanted was to be a real girl in a real world with a loving family. The ladies in the portrait had also once confessed that they desired a human, a real human to visit us. But their desire was different from mine.
I wanted to get out of this fake world.
One day, my prayers were answered.
I was walking to the grey room where there were many ladies in the portrait, looking for a typical everyday conversation.
"Hello, Mary," the one in red called me.
"Hello, Red. You're looking dashing today," I complimented her.
"So does Blue, Green and every lady in here," Red joked. I laughed along.
"Listen here, Mary," Red's tone became serious, it had me at attention. "Today is going to be a great day."
I tilted my head at her. "Why do you say so?" I asked.
Red answered my inquiring face by gesturing me to go to the door, leading to the purple room.
I did as I was told (more like signaled to). I twisted the door knob and opened the door only to immediately shut it. I found myself breathing very deeply and my heart was pounding. A smile was growing on my face. Creaking the door open slowly, I peeked.
A man with purple, messy hair and a tattered jacket was with a petite brunette little girl. Humans were in my lonely world! They can stay and play with me forever and ever! Oh, how lovely was the thought of bringing them to my playroom and we can drink tea together with my army of blue dolls. But seeing the expressions on their faces, they looked terrified by Guertena's world. Perhaps they were not visiting me, perhaps they got themselves trapped in here and are seeking to get out?
Even though their intentions were not to stay and play with me, I could use them to get to the real world and be a real girl. That's right. All I have to do is just be friendly with them and not to tell them that I am, too, a part of Guerterna's lovely work. I am a painted human so there would be no reason for them to suspect me of anything, right? Besides, they looked kind. They couldn't just leave a sweet girl alone in this fabricated world.
I slowly stepped back and smiled to myself. Commence operation: get into the real world.
