Chapter 2: Eat Me

"My dear, here we must run as fast as we can, just to stay in place. And if you wish to go anywhere you must run twice as fast as that."


Her head reached the surface and grabbed onto the ledge, coughing up water. Her white blouse and red skirt had disappeared and she was now wearing a bright red dress, white apron, grey knee high socks, and a little red rose in her hair.

The confused girl scanned around the dark gallery. "Hello?" She called out. The only sound she could hear was the plush rabbit's footsteps. Her little black flats tapped as she wandered through the twisted hallway and came to a stop at a pitch black room with several doors and a little painting of a face on the ground. The little green bunny hopped around and went through a small picture of the face, and left through it.

"No wait! I need your he..." Ib's voice trailed off as the door slammed shut.

In the room sat a single table. Looking closer she noticed a small china plate with blue, red, and yellow roses painted delicately on the border. Beside it was a bouquet of pink roses. Sitting neatly on the plate were three macarons; strawberry, vanilla, and blueberry flavored, as well as a note reading

'Eat Me'

Her small hand grabbed the strawberry macaron and took a small bight out of the tiny pink treat. She closed her eyes in satisfaction, and let the sweet flavor melt into her mouth. It was soft and a little crunchy at the same time. She was about to go for another bight when suddenly the treat became too big to hold. Or better yet, she was too small to hold it!

Her little body fell from the table onto the floor. The flower in her hair lost three of its five red petals, and a tremendous pain flowed through her whole body. She lay in shock for a moment, and looked around to see her surroundings. The picture was now normal size, as well as a tiny table a couple feet from her which had something on it, that she couldn't quite make out. The door seemed much more promising.

"Feed me Flower" it groaned eyeing hungrily at my two pedaled rose. She took it off her ear and examined it. Her two tiny fingers plucked off a crimson petal and her whole body washed with overwhelming pain. It felt as if every bone in her body would snap if she moved.

Turning away, she decided to look at the table. There was no way she's give her rose to something that wanted to eat it.

Being so small, she could see every speck of dust on the black ground as she slowly made her way to the small table. A blue Vase on the top next to a letter reading

'Eternal Vase'

She hesitantly grabbed her rose and slowly placed it in the glowing blue water; she didn't want any more pain. Four petals grew on the rose with the contact of the water. Ib clenched her eyes when the pain disappeared from her body and when she opened them; she was much too big for the small table. In fact she became even too big for the room!

Her eyes searched around, but found nothing of her size she could eat or drink.

The only thing that wasn't too small was the big bouquet of pink roses sitting on the white counter. She grabbed it, along with the letter and read:

'Smell me'

She brought the flowers up to her face and smelled in the roses. The sweet aroma filled the air, and she was shrunken to her normal size. She finished off the strawberry macaron, shrinking back to painting size.

The painting happily munched on the bouquet and opened his mouth wide. She went through its mouth, glad that was over.
