Ib: The Tale of the Mysterious Siblings
Chapter 1: The art gallery
Sokaro's POV
"Sokaro! Mother told me that I could go with you to the art gallery!" yelled my little sister as I left the house.
"Fine, just hurry up!" I yelled back.
Then my younger sister came out, wearing a red dress and carrying her staff. She had her satchel strapped around her back. I myself was wearing a black t-shirt, blue jeans, a red overcoat and a fedora. The only object I carried was a practice sword sheathed on my leg.
"Why are you bringing your sword?" she asked.
"Sokari, it's for just in case situations. You never know what could happen." I replied.
We left the house. About ten minutes later we reached the art gallery. We paid our admission fee and went in.
"Sokari, remember to keep me in sight at all times." I said.
As we walked through the gallery we stopped at a statue of a rose. Three other people were looking at it. There were two small girls and a boy with lavender hair who looked about my age. As he turned to leave he bumped into Sokari, and she fell to the ground.
"Hey buddy! Say you're sorry!" I said calmly.
He turned around noticing what he did. He helped Sokari up.
"Sorry for knocking you down. I really need to pay more attention." He said.
After he had left we looked back at the rose.
"Hello," said a voice behind us, "I'm Ib. Can you tell me what your names are?"
"Hi Ib, I'm Sokari and this is my big brother, Sokaro. How are you?" Said Sokari.
"I'm doing well." She responded.
"Are you here by yourself," I asked, "because if you are you can be with us."
"No I'm here with my parents, but thank you for asking. Bye!" Ib replied.
Ib left and we continued to look throughout the gallery. We came across a large sketch-like painting. Its title was "The Fabricated World". After we had looked at it everyone disappeared. Then black letters appeared on the floor saying "COME SOKARO".
"Sokari, are you there?!" I yelled.
There was no response, so I wandered throughout the gallery. I found it slightly creepier with nobody there. I went down to the ground floor. When I looked at the "Abyss of the Deep" painting I noticed that one of the guard pylons was missing, which would let me through. I looked at it and decided not to go through.
"This is really creepy. I wonder where everybody went." I said to myself.
There was a cough down the hall. When I went to investigate all I saw were paintings.
"Am I going insane? Is anyone here!?" I yelled.
I received no response. There was a sound similar to paint splattering. I looked up. Right next to a painting called "The Coughing Man" in black letters were the words "COME SOKARO, COME PLAY WITH US".
"Who are you? Where do you want me to go?" I cried out. I ran to the exit doors and pulled on them, but to no avail, they were locked. I finally decided to go back to "The Abyss of the Deep". Right before I go through I look at the doors. Then I go in…
