Chapter 2: When the paintings come alive and Kiku finds a rose

[A/n] I think of maybe giving some 'video game experience' in this, like give the readers a choice in the game... Do you readers want to? If so: VOTE ON YOUR REVIEWS! If you guys want to... Who cares now, let it start!


KIKU fell, on the stairs. 'What?' He looked around, he examined where he was. 'I, am on white stairs... there's two halls that can lead me to either the right way or ... death.' The boy walked down the steps and went to his right and the walls were scribbled with words: COME,COME,COME,COME,COME,COME...He tried to ignore it as he went to the end of the hall. He looked at a pretty rose that was in a blue vase, he picked it up and then Kiku pushed the desk. A blue door was there and he opened the door. A portrait of a woman with white hair was on the wall in front of him. She looked like a bored old woman, so Kiku decided to read the plaque.

You and the rose are ?,

So keep it safe at all costs.

If the flower ?,

You will surely ? along with it.

Kiku looked puzzled at the words, but he shrugged it off and turned away to leave. Then the portrait turned ugly and smiled evilly, chuckling as the boy left the room. Kiku felt uncomfortable as he walked down the blue hall, then on the floor, red words spelled:

THIEF

Kiku was confused, 'Thief?' He just walked on. He stopped in his tracks as he saw the stairs were gone and was replaced by a wall.

'No... I can't leave...' The japanese boy walked down the hall past two paintings, one red, the other blue. He walked on and opened the door from the end of the hall, entering a green room. Kiku marched on and saw a sign on the wall to his left:

BEWARE OF THE EDGES.

He looked at it, curiously, but then turned his head to his right. It had many Pictures of insects. He decided to look at them.

The Purple Butterfly

The Wasp

The Caterpillar

The Grasshopper

Kiku shrugged and walked down the green halls, he found a door and opened it. The black haired boy strolled inside to see a large hole that seemed to be an abyss from the surface.

'I wouldn't like to fall into that... I'll probably be falling for hours...' His eyes peered at the other side, it looked the same as the side he was on. It was like a mirror image of it.

Kiku decided to get out and find a way to get across. He went to the warning sign and looked to the hall that seemed pretty plain. The boy decided to walk through it, quickly and without going to sides.

Large black arms Jutted out, reaching for him. He was a bit startled as more started reaching for him.

Kiku... Kiku...

The arms reached to snag his shirt but he quickened his pace. As he reached the north wall, another hand jutted out, stretching to tear out his eyes and face. Kiku rapidly turned right down a hall that lead to a door. He tried to open the door but it was locked. He looked to the paintings and then noticed one of them could be removed. It was a painting of an ant. Kiku removed it and carried it with him. 'This seems like a good bridge..'

He walked past the arms once more. Carefully avoiding them as he past by. He walked down the hall and went through the door. He placed the portrait on the hole, it fit perfectly. He stepped on it an an ugly SQUISH! was heard. He made it to the other side and looked at the portrait, the painted ant was squished and green fluid was splattered all over. Kiku thought of this strange and he opened the other door. He was leaded into another hallway, he a the mannequin that he came across earlier before he was in this, 'World'. He recalled what it was called along with other colored mannequins, oh yes! "Death to All of the Individuals" He walked past it and picked up a green key. Kiku brushed past it and turned to look at it once more. That's when he noticede that the lights began to flicker, the statue came closer. He backed up, it came even closer, then Kiku ran to the exit door of the room. The Statue replied hauntingly, 'Ahhhh!~ Kiku...Honda!~"

The boy ran and walked over the ant portrait, it made another squish! Then it gave away and the statue couldn't go farther, it hissed and exited the small room. Kiku walk out of the room and down the hall meeting with the insect paintings. He walked through the 'Hall of arms' and then he was met with the green door. He unlocked it and turned to a desk.
