He raises and eyebrow, questioningly, stays calm.

"It's like she's loosing it! Today she freaked me out, she just stood there laughing crazily, staring at me with eerie eyes! It's just like in the Gallery!" I get closer to him, he is the only thing keeping me sane right now, im at the edge of madness.

I were so scared before but I pushed it aside and now it's bubbling up to surface.

I'm shivering and freezing. When did it get so cold in here?

Garry hushes me and holds me tight, he understand me so well, knows just whats I need.

"It'll be okey, everything will be okey" He tells me and right there I believe him.

It takes a while for me to calm down, without Garry i'd probably still be freaking out.

When my breathing has calmed down and im not whimpering anymore I get out of Garry's arms and stand up.

"So what are we going to do?" I hope Garry has an answer, efter all he is the adult here.

"Well, there is pretty many choices but we should first of all talk it through with Mary" I close my eyes, concentrate on breathing.

"Ib, you should really rest a little, you're not feeling alright, I can see it"

"I don't care if I'm not feeling alright! Don't you understand? We have to do something about Mary! I won't let her go again!" I scream, I'm hysterical.

Beacause I'm not willing to lose her again, I'll do everything that stands in my power to make her get better again.

"Mary!" I call for her, she shyly enters the room. She seems scared and ashamed of herself.

"I think I have a clue for why Mary is going crazy" Garry says, Mary flinch at the word 'Crazy'.

"You were never meant to be outside your own painting, the painting, or more likely the Gallery, want you back. You left an empty space after you and now the Gallery wants you to fill it again".

It seems most likely that this theory is true now when Garry has revealed it, actually this is probably exactly what's going on.

"I don't want to go back in there! It's so lonely without you two!" Mary's all pale and looks terrified of the though of return.

"I-I don't even know if I can go back!" Mary cries out.

"Ib, go fetch the painting for me, will you?" I run off to get the painting.

When I get back, the sight of Garry and Mary kissing punches me in the face.

Garry doesn't do anything for a while but soon regains his senses and break lose, Mary has tears in her eyes.

"I just wanted to know how it feels to kiss someone" she mumbles.

The only thing I can do is stand there, speechless.

"Ib!" Garry screams as I drop the painting and runs out the door "It's not like it looks like!"

"Well you didn't get away from her that fast either!" I retort, I can't see through my tears as I run away, far, far away from Garry and Mary.


This time the chapter is out really late and i'm terribly sorry for that but I had a lot of issues writing it but now it's here and I hope you like it!
