This fanfic is based off a video game called 'Ib' where, well, a little girl gets trapped in a nightmare museum with a dude named Garry and they nearly die multiple times. I haven't personally PLAYED the game, I watched a let's play of it. So it won't be spot-on. But, enjoy anyways! It'll be short though. I'm not doing the whole game either, just parts.
Disclaimer: I don't own Hetalia or Ib.
?, Bonnefoy Museum
"This is going to be so interesting aru." Yao grinned at his little sister, Sakura. Sakura was still wearing her school uniform, even though school ended an hour ago. It was a white blouse with a red bow. Her skirt and shoes matched the red and she wore black socks up to her knees. Her black hair was in a bob. Her brother wore a typical Chinese top and black pants underneath.
"I still can't believe they opened a French museum in Japan." Sakura gazed in amazement. Yao laughed.
"Why don't you go ahead? I'll pay and get us some pamphlets." Sakura nodded and ran upstairs. She tried to read the inscription on some of the paintings, but she didn't know some of the words.
"Hanging Man? Grieving Bride? Down to the Abyss? These are all very sad." Sakura noted. She then went into a hallway with a single painting. It was very large and very scary. She cautiously went to the inscription.
"? world." She read. Suddenly the lights flickered. She looked up, confused. She quickly left the hallway and noticed the other people who were on the Second Floor of the museum were gone.
"Hm, I wonder if an event is going on and I didn't know about it." She walked back downstairs to the info desk. Her brother was gone!
"Where is everyone?" She was getting scared. Suddenly, the lights went out. It was dark, but not so dark that she couldn't see. She panicked and ran to the entrance. It was locked.
"No!" She backed away and turned and ran into the room next door. She saw a rose statue and stared at it. Suddenly, she heard a cough. She whipped around, hoping that someone else was there. But she didn't see anyone. She walked up to the only painting in the room.
"The Coughing Man? This is scary! Where is everyone?" Sakura walked into the next room. She was walking by a row of paintings when suddenly a fruit fell off of one. She yelped and jumped back. She cautiously approached the fruit.
"The fruit fell off? But it's a painting." She kept exploring the museum. She soon reached the room with the large, scary painting. But there was a blue liquid coming from behind it now. Sakura examined it.
"It's only paint…" She turned around and nearly screamed. On the floor, a message had suddenly appeared.
' A' It read. She turned to the blue paint, which was also a message.
"come down below Sakura ill show you someplace secret" Sakura read. She gulped but obeyed. She went back downstairs. She went into the room where the 'Down to the Abyss' sculpture was. It was basically a dark blue box and a giant fish coming out of it. But, one of the rope barriers was gone. There were blue footprints leading into the dark blue abyss. Sakura cautiously approached.
"What is going on?" She hesitantly placed one foot on the dark blue and felt nothing but air. She suddenly felt a push and fell into the abyss, screaming.
Dark Museum- Purple hallway
"What is going on?" Sakura stood up carefully and took a look at her surroundings. She was in a hallway, a blue painting on the right, a red one on the left. She didn't know what to do, but something told her to go down the blue way.
Dark Museum- Blue Hallway
"C O M E" Was splattered along the wall, repeating itself over and over. Sakura complied and kept walking down the hallway. At the end of the hallway, in front of a blue door, was a small table with a red rose in a vase on it. It had only 3 petals.
"What is this doing here?" Sakura wondered. She picked up the rose and the table suddenly moved to the side. Sakura entered the room and stifled a scream. A painting was on the wall, and it was very creepy. It was a woman with long blonde hair and a white bow. But her hair was coming OUT of the painting and hung onto the floor. There was another inscription and Sakura cautiously approached the painting to read it.
"When the rose ?'s, so too will you ? Away." Sakura hated not knowing all the words. She was only 12 though. She then noticed a key on the floor. She picked it up and a evil laugh was heard. She looked up and screamed. The painting's eyes were opened and were white, with a single black slit staring at her. Her mouth was open too, bright red lips and fangs. Sakura ran out of the room, terrified.
"What kind of museum is this?" She said aloud as she sprinted back down the hallway. She noticed that the words had changed
" E" was now everywhere."I WANT TO BUT I CAN'T!" Sakura cried. She ran back to where the stairs were to get out, but the stairs had disappeared.
"NO! I want to go home!" Sakura sobbed. After a few moments, she was all cried-out and pulled herself together.
"Come now, tears won't solve anything. Be brave Sakura." She scolded herself and walked into the red way
Dark Museum- Green room
"Why would a RED painting lead to a GREEN room?" Sakura asked aloud. It was true, the room was green. There were paintings of various bugs to the left. She noticed a small speck on the floor and bent down.
"Hello. I'm an ant. I love paintings. My painting is especially cool. I'd like to see it again, but it's kind of far away." No matter what Sakura tried to ask, the ant simply repeated itself. She walked over to a column with another inscription on it.
"Beware the edges? I don't understand." Sakura walked down the hallway behind it in the middle. She screamed as hands suddenly pushed through the walls along the edges.
"Those would've killed me if I hadn't walked along the middle!" She realized. She then noticed a painting.
"Oh, this must be what Mr. Ant was talking about." She grabbed the painting of the ant and carefully walked back to the ant.
"Oh, that's my painting. It's as cool as I remember it." The ant stared at it. Sakura walked away after a while, realizing the ant was hinting at something. She walked down the hallway and into a door. There was a hole in the middle of it, separating the room in two."I wonder…" Sakura put the ant painting across the whole and crossed over. It weakened, but held. She knew it would only work as a bridge once more. She walked into the adjacent room and noticed a headless mannequin.
"Why is there no head?" She wondered. But then, she noticed a green key.
"This could open that door by the old ant painting!" She realized. She bent down and grabbed the key. As she stood up, she noticed the mannequin had moved forward. She backed away, but the mannequin followed her. She screamed and ran back to the room with the hole in it. She dashed across the painting, barely making it across before the painting ripped. The mannequin tried to follow her, and fell down the hole. She panted and walked out of the room. The ant was hopping up and down.
"What happened to my painting?" it demanded. Sakura ignored it and dashed down the hall with the hands and unlocked the green door. She entered a room that looked like a cat.
Dark Museum- Cat room
"There's a place here for a fish?" Sakura examined the key-hole. She decided to go down the hallway on the right first. She entered a storage room. There were many mannequins, statue heads, and a painting of a red rose. The lights flickered and Sakura gulped. She bent down and noticed some materials on the floor.
"This is dangerous. Somebody could trip in the dark." Before she could clean it up, she heard a noise. She turned and saw one of the statue heads was coming towards her. She backed up into a wall and closed her eyes, bracing for her death. Suddenly, a crashing sound was heard. Sakura opened her eyes and saw the statue head had fallen over the materials and broken open. There was something in the fallen debris. Sakura cautiously picked it up. It was a wooden fish tail. She also noticed a vase of water.
"I wonder…" She put her red rose inside and it suddenly gained two petals. Sakura felt better.
"So, when the rose is healthy, so am I. I don't want to know what happens when it dies." She shuddered and quickly left the storage room. She then continued into the left hallway. She noticed a bunch of columns with red curtains on them. The one closest to her had a stick-figure man drawn on. Suddenly, a message appeared in yellow paint.
"Play Hide and Seek?" She read. Suddenly, the man disappeared and the curtains all gained a yellow button. Sakura cautiously approached one and pressed the button. She stifled a scream as a painting of her hanging upside down appeared. She quickly moved to the next column and pressed it. The stick-man appeared.
"Found me! You get a prize!" a wooden fish head fell down beside Sakura. She picked it up and attached it to the fish tail.
"Now I can get through!" She ran back to the key-hole and placed the fish. There was loud meowing and a hallway appeared. Sakura hurriedly ran down the hallway.
Dark Museum- Red room
"Oh no!" Sakura instantly noticed a man lying on the floor. He tightly held a key. She carefully took it and tried to find a pulse. She saw one, barely.
"I have to find some way to help him! Maybe this key will help!" She quickly started looking for the key's door. She ran to the left and noticed a water vase, a door with a window next to it, and a blue rose on the ground.
"Why would there be a window here?" Sakura wondered. But she ignored it and ran to the rose.
"I bet this is that man's rose! It only has 3 petals left!" She looked up and noticed there was an inscription.
"Woman in blue." She read. But there was no painting. Sakura shrugged and grabbed the rose. Suddenly, she heard a window shatter. She turned and saw a painting…with a woman hanging out of it. She was crawling around.
"Oh my god!" Sakura nearly screamed. The woman noticed her and began to chase her. Sakura ran into a nearby room and found a dead end.
"I know!" She waited for the woman to enter, jumped over her, and locked the door. She could still hear the scratches. She ran down the hall to where she saw the water vase. She placed the blue rose and it gained 7 petals, returning to full health. Sakura grinned and took the flower, heading back to the man.
"…the pain…it's gone." He murmured. He slowly stood up. Sakura noticed how tall he was. She only went up to his waist. He had slicked back blonde hair and bright blue eyes. He wore a black tank top and dark green pants under black boots. He wore a unzipped jacket that was the same shade of green.
"Are you from the gallery?" He seemed shocked. Sakura nodded and shyly held out the rose.
"Thank god! I thought I was here alone…wait, that's my rose? Ah I see. Did you go and get it and healed it for me?" Sakura nodded. The man took the flower.
"Thanks. Now, let's talk…."
A few minutes later
"…So you don't know what happened either. It seems that we have the same situation on our hands. Not to mention, when this rose loses it's petals, wounds appear on my body." He stared intently at the blue rose.
"Mine too…I have a red rose. My name is Sakura Honda." Sakura bowed.
"I am Ludwig Beilschmidt. I come from Germany on vacation and this happens." Ludwig sighed.
"Shall we look for a way out together?" Sakura asked. Ludwig turned to her.
"Well, there is no way I'll let a child like you wander around here by yourself. So yes, we shall go together." Ludwig smiled. The two left the room and heading into the next area.
Dark Museum- Gray room
"We can go right, or straight into the room." Ludwig turned to Sakura.
"Um, let's check out the room." Sakura and Ludwig walked into the room. It was empty, except for a mirror. The two looked into the mirror.
"You are so much taller than me." Sakura pointed out. They turned around to leave and gasped. A mannequin head that resembled a mime now stood in front of the door.
"What the- how did that get there?" Ludwig asked.
"It didn't move until we looked into the mirror…" Sakura and Ludwig turned back to the mirror. The reflection was the same…except a mannequin head standing right behind Ludwig.
"AH!" Ludwig jumped to the side. The mannequin head had moved again.
"Why you….!" Ludwig was about to kick it.
"Ludwig don't! We don't know about this place! Violence could cause something really bad to happen!" Sakura stopped him.
"Let's just get out of here…" Ludwig scowled and the two left the room. They headed to the right. There was a hallway. Sakura began to walk when she suddenly felt dizzy."Sakura? SAKURA?" she heard Ludwig. Then, everything faded to black.
Dark Museum- Safe Room
Sakura gasped and sat up.
"Good! You are awake!" Ludwig seemed relieved. Sakura noticed his jacket was acting as a blanket for her.
"I should've notice earlier that you were weak. This is a lot for someone your age, huh?" He seemed worried.
"I am fine." Sakura stood up and handed Ludwig his jacket. She turned to look at the room and gasped. There was a single painting.
"What? The painting seems fine to me." Ludwig glanced at it.
"That's….my brother!" Sakura gaped at the painting. It was indeed Yao. He seemed sad.
"I can see the family resemblance. Don't worry! We'll find him!" Ludwig added when he saw how close to tears Sakura was.
"I-I know… but I miss him.." Sakura sniffed and wiped away the tears.
"I'm sorry! I probably caused a lot of inconvenience!" Sakura suddenly remembered her manners.
"You don't need to apologize! Now, let's get going." Ludwig grinned and the two left the room.
Dark Museum- Navy hallway
"OW!" Sakura had just walked out when she was ran into by a girl. Ludwig helped Sakura up and they looked a the girl. She had long red hair in a ponytail with a stray curl and amber eyes. She wore a dark red dress over white tights that had a white collar and a light blue brooch.
"T-that hurt!" The girl began to cry. Ludwig bent down and held out his hand."We are very sorry, we didn't see you. Here." The girl sniffed and took his hand. She stood up and dusted off her dress.
"Were you one of the visitors at the gallery?" Ludwig asked. The girl nodded.
"I thought so! I am Ludwig and this is Sakura. We were in the art gallery as well, but somehow we have gotten lost in this place." Ludwig was rambling on.
"I was trying to find other people too…I wanna get out of here." The girl interrupted him.
"Well, you could come with us!" Ludwig offered. The girl smiled.
"Really?" She asked.
"It is too dangerous here to be alone, so of course!" Sakura nodded.
"Yay! I'll come with you! My name is Feli! It is nice to meet you!" She grinned.
"Let's go then! We want to get out of here as soon as possible, right?" The girls nodded and the trio set off.
OMG the Axis are trapped in a mysterious place where things try to kill them? This totally hasn't happened before **sarcasm**
I won't tell you who is who until I finish this bc it'll spoil everything, but if you know the game, it's pretty simple to guess who is who.
