Ib POV
I walked and walked with my little blue friend chilling on my shoulder. He, or it? Told me his name was Tuely. He talked to me about the secrets of the gallery. It had changed a lot since I had last been there.
"Tuely?" I asked
"Yes, friend?"
"Where do you think Garry is?"
"Hm…. I'm not sure… the gallery is very large. He could be in many places. But you know what I think you should do?" He said while hanging upside off my shoulder
"What might that be?"
"Follow your heart. It won't ever lead you astray."
Great, I'm getting philosophical advice from a stuffed doll. Just great.
Me and Tuely took a break in a safe room. I found it weird that we had been here this long and I had yet to run into an enemy. I guess luck was on my side. For now at least.
Garry POV
I laid on the ground, counting the minutes as they ticked by. Five turned to ten, ten turned to twenty, twenty to forty, forty to sixty. How long was this going to take? How long was fate going to drag out death until it finally let me die.
One hundred and twenty minutes have passed. Two hours… Why can't I just die already?
Then I felt it. A warmth in my heart. I don't know what it was but it's nothing I've ever felt before. Then… I felt shock, confusion, fear, then disbelief. None of those emotions belonged to me. I decided that I was losing any grip on sanity I had. I closed my eyes and prayed death came to me.
Ib POV
Tuely and I left the safe room and started walking through the gallery again when something very strange happened.
As we were walking I felt a warmth spread from a spot in my heart, outward, until it consumed my entire chest.
"What's happening?!" I screamed
"A SOUL BOND!" Tuely gasped
"What?!"
"A soul bond! That's when two people whose souls love each and know each other. Two souls that are so similar they fight together perfectly. Not two halves of a whole but two wholes of a pair."
"YOU'RE A DOLL YOU SHOULDN'T KNOW THAT" I yelled at Tuely
"Just because I'm a doll doesn't mean I'm lacking a brain." He replied.
I felt a pull in my chest. I followed it. How much weirder could it get?
I followed the pull through the halls of the gallery. The more I ran the stronger it got. Until finally…
It led me to a door. My heart was pounding so fast. I grabbed the handle and turned it slowly. What my eye's found inside cause me to gasp loudly.
Garry POV
I heard the door open and a shocked gasp. I opened my eye to find someone kneeling in front of me. I felt a cool hand on my sweaty forehead then two lips replacing it. I heard a small whisper
"You're ok now. You'll be ok." I looked up to find a sight that could've pulled me out of the worst coma. Two tear filled red eyes stared down at me. My Ib had finally found me.
I ground out two words before I blacked out
"Hello, love."
