Hey guys, rayquazamage227 here. As promised, here is this weeks second chapter. Unlike other times, I actually remembered to write this. So yeah, here you go, nothing special. If you have any feedback please leave a review, and if you like this, don't forget to favorite or follow. Now for the obligatory disclaimer
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the game Ib. The only aspects of this that I own are Sokaro and Sokari. All rights go to their respective owners.
Sokaro's POV
"Oh lovely. I guess we're stuck here for a while." I said, looking down at my bandaged wounds.
"Probably so. You are having a hard time walking without Sokari's staff. But we aren't going to leave you here." Said Mary.
"But we need to keep going. So I think it would be best if you left me behind. I'll catch up, I promise." I replied.
"No! I refuse to let you stay here, by yourself anyway." Said Sokari.
"Then let me stay." Said Mary. "He brought me with you, so I'll bring him back to you two. I think it would be fair."
Why does she want to stay here with me? It's not what I expected. Sokari will probably try to shoot down the idea, claiming that she should stay because she's my sister. I think this will be strange to watch.
"Mary, I agree with you. You feel indebted to him. You stay. Knowing him, he'll be fine in about fifteen minutes to an hour. The wound wasn't large, so he mostly just has to deal with the pain. We'll just check out the area. See you in a bit."
Wait, WHAT? Did she just say yes to that idea? Wow… not at all what I thought would happen. Oh well. At least Mary is a decent painting/girl.
Sokari and Ib left to survey the area, leaving me and Mary behind. After they were out of sight, Mary began to speak.
"Hey Sokaro, do you think they're on to me? And if they are, what do we do?" asked Mary.
"What makes you think that they're on to you?" I replied.
"Something just seems off. But what would do if they found out?"
"Hmm. Well I actually don't know. We'll cross that bridge when we get there. I don't think they know."
Sokari's POV
We left, leaving Sokaro and Mary by themselves. I did feel bad though, because I wanted to stay with him. But it felt like she wanted to talk to him.
Oh well. It's not like she's going to kill him. OH NO! What if she does kill him? I'll kill her if she does. I doubt she'll kill him.
"Sokari, what are you doing?" asked Ib.
I then noticed that I was beating the wall with my staff. Ib took my staff from me.
"What's wrong? You seem upset about something." Asked Ib.
"It's Mary. I don't trust her all that much. But Sokaro does, so I want to. I don't know how to feel about her. What if she hurts Sokaro while we're over here? I'm not saying she would, but what if she did." I said.
"I get the same feeling. It scares me. He is our only form of protection, unless we find another person." Said Ib.
We continued walking. We followed a pattern for getting through mazes that Sokaro had taught me. Ib looked left, right before I had turned.
"Garry? Is that you?" Ib called out into the corridor.
She ran towards the figure that she assumed to be Garry. I chased after her because I didn't want her to get hurt. It was the man that accidentally knocked me over. I barely remembered what he looked like, but I knew it was him.
"Ib, do you know this guy?" I asked.
"Yes, his name is Garry. He's really nice. I met him in the gallery at the rose statue."
"Ib? Well at least I know that I'm not the only one here. Who's your friend? Wait, don't tell me, you're the girl I bumped into in the gallery, right? I really am sorry about that. Where's your brother?" he asked.
"he was attacked by some of the paintings. We left him with a friend of ours to heal up for a bit, we're looking for the next door." Ib said.
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that he's hurt. Lets go back to him, and we'll find the door later. Okay?" he said.
So we walked back to Sokaro and Mary, who were just sitting on the floor. Sokaro looked like he was doing better than before. Mary didn't even notice us.
"You're back already? I thought the next door would be further away. Wait is that the guy that knocked you over earlier?" asked Sokaro.
"I told her I was sorry. She said it was fine. I'm glad to see that you're doing well. Your sister told me about the incident with the moving paintings. Sorry that happened."
