"Gaah!" Garry pushed the doll off his shoulder and sent it flying into Marline's arms.
"Hey, that was uncalled for." The doll shook it arm up and down towards Garry.
Garry stood still, just staring at the doll.
The doll stopped moving its arms and stared back at Garry.
Marline just looked at the two with uncaring eyes.
Garry opened his mouth slowly and inhaled, "WHAT THE HECK THAT THING JUST MOVED AND TALKED. MARLINE LET IT GO!" Garry rushed over to Marline and whacked the doll away.
"Garry." Marline deadpanned.
"Come on Marline let's get out of here!" He grabbed her arms and started pulling her towards the door.
"Garry." She called out again. She was able to slip out of his grip but he didn't even notice.
"Let's go find another room that might help!" He has already left the room, with Marline standing in the doorway. Garry was walking away when he suddenly came to a halt.
His legs became immobile and he was stuck in that one spot. He tried to move his right leg forward but felt something heavy holding it back. Garry bit his lip and looked down.
On his legs were two hands wrapped around them. Garry turned his upper body to have an easier look to see that a Lady in Red was holding him down.
"Ah, Marline... Why did she grab my ankles?" Garry turned his upper body the opposite direction to look at Marline who was on the other side of the room.
"You weren't listening! And so I got her to stop you from leaving. That doll you threw is going to come us, so will that Lady." Marline tapped her foot impatiently.
Garry felt uncomfortable when she said the doll was coming with them. Those dolls were creepy and definitely NOT cute. He looked warily at the creepy looking doll.
"Did you make these dolls?" Garry eyed the hideous thing.
Marline bit her bottom lip. "No. Mary did."
Garry tilted his head unknowingly. "then why..?" "Did I go with Marline? I don't like Mary. She's a witch." The doll interrupted.
"By the way, where is Allie?" Marline stared down at Jolly.
Jolly didn't reply.
"Jolly, answer me!" Marline demanded.
The doll took a few more seconds. "...Allie isn't with us anymore." Jolly's tone was different. It was playful or mischievous, it was more serious with a tinge of sorrow.
Marline sighed. "Was it her?" The doll only nodded. "There's no helping it." Marline's voice was sharp.
"I'm also tired of that frame around you," Marline pointed at the Lady in Red. "Just get out of it." Marline was really agitated for unknown reasons.
The Lady in Red just nodded. She released Garry's ankles and dug her hands into the ground to pull her whole body OUT of the frame.
Garry had moved and turned around to see what was happening. His eyes widened when he saw the Lady's full body. "Th-they can do that?!" His shoulders slumped and he pointed at the Lady.
"Only when they're told to." Marline waved her hands as she walked away with the blue doll sitting on her head. "Anyway, we should get going." Marline walked up to a random wall in the area and disappeared. The doll did not go with her and stayed in the room with Garry and the Lady in Red.
"Aww I didn't get to go into the creator's room!" The doll squirmed about.
"You wouldn't have been allowed to in the first place." A deep female voice abruptly called out. It startled Garry and he looked around anxiously.
"What are you looking for?" The Lady in Red snapped at Garry.
Garry was speechless and stared at her with a hint of being lost.
The doll, Jolly,hopped on his shoulder, not that he minded at all anymore. Garry was more focused on the Lady. " If a Lady leaves her frame, she gets her own personality and the ability to speak. This doesn't happen very often with Marline and this Lady is a grouchy one." Jolly's statement made the Lady scoff.
"You wouldn't be able to understand stupid rag doll." The Lady folded her arms and held her chin up high in the other direction.
"Who are you calling rag doll, pastel witch!"
'Pastel witch..? Marline, please hurry up!' Garry was watching the two argue.
The Lady got irritated and walked over to the doll only to step on it with her heels.
"Ow..ngrhsd!" Jolly's yell of agony was muffled by heels.
"Stop it you two and let's go." Marline was walking through a big gap in the wall. Garry had been so glad that he didn't have to witness those two fight anymore. Those two shut up right away and avoided looking at each other.
Garry hurried behind Marline. He was just itching to ask questions.
"If you don't mind me asking, how far is this room?" Garry let his eyes wander down the halls they were walking through. There were paintings here and there including a Lady in Blue.
Marline had also noticed the painting and ran up to it. She started talking quietly with the Lady in Blue, who also whispered back. Not before long, Garry saw the Lady in Blue nod and jump onto the floor. She crawled away and his attention was back on Marline.
He threw a questioning glance towards her.
Marline shook her head. Garry knew this meant 'nothing you should worry about' but it gave him an uneasy feeling.
Garry walked up to her side and they all began walking again.
"It's not that far." Marline squeaked out.
Garry smiled at her and she gave a shy smile back.
They were walking in comfortable silence until they heard a sound of a door opening and closing. Marline abruptly stopped, making Garry stop and the other two the same. Marline started shaking, which really worried Garry.
"Marline..? What's wrong?" He was about to place his hand on her shoulder but she started running down the hall, which surprised Garry. Jolly and the Lady ran past him.
"What is going on?" Garry asked as he decided to run after them.
Jolly managed to shout," Something has happened to Ib's room!"
There was no response. Just the sound of Garry's footsteps move faster. He ran past the two and was close to Marline. Of course he ran fast because of his long legs but the little girl was AMAZING. She was way faster than Garry.
Marline threw the door open. Garry reached the room only a few seconds after. The hall was not that long.
Marline's eyes searched around the whole room and she sighed in relief. Garry's eyes also caught sight of what was so important and tears welled up in his eyes.
Ib was curled up in bed with a big blanket covering half her sleeping figure. She looked peaceful and unharmed. Garry was much thankful for all that.
Although, Marline's eyes hardened. She searched around the room again and finally found what she was looking for. Whatever it was did not know that it had already been spotted.
"Garry, pick her up, you need to get out of here now." Marline whispered to him. He heard her hushed voice and took note that there was slight panic. He didn't question though and did what he was told.
He walked over to the side of the bed and he gently picked her up. Ib stirred in her sleep but did not wake up. She was very light weight and Garry had no problem carrying her.
Marline had already made an opening through the side of the wall. "Run the to Fabricated World painting, now." Marline bit her lower lip. She had to get them out of this terrifying world. Garry frowned. What was with her?
"Is there something wrong?" Garry was sort of getting tired of her beating around the bushes.
"Just go, I'll explain later." Marline's eyes were pleading him to get going.
Garry sighed, slightly disappointed.
Sorry for not updating for a while :/ things were happening. I actually did get to play Ib the game and I got myself a sad ending T^T I got memories crannies. I even replayed it twice ( close to end part of course) and got the same thing! Ah, oh well. I feel like i sort of rushed this chapter, im sorry _ I'll do my best to update better chapters soon.
