I love you, and it is because I love you that I have to save you from this hell. I will stop the war within you.

"Gary?" Little Eve called out to her creator. Gary, who was so much taller than her, looked back at her with a smile. By this time Gary's smile was cold and meaningless. She pointed to the big bruise on the side of her right arm. "Why did you make a mark on my arm? It hurts when you poke it." Gary looked down at her with a worrisome stare. "Gary?"

"I've hurt you… haven't I?" He stared at the ground with a pitiful smile.

"Mhmm, but that does matter Gary. I love you too much, so it doesn't hurt that bad." She fibbed about the pain. Little Eve was created into a world unlike Earth, a world where Gary sanity dropped every second. She never had the chance to see the real Gary. That little smile of Eve's kept him living.

"Don't lie to me like that Eve." He said softly and reached his hand down only to pat her head, but Eve flinched at the possibility of something worse. Gary took notice of her flinch. "Eve, it's okay to be afraid of me or what I'll do to you." Gary kneeled down so he was eye level. "Someday I dream of being out there again, but I know that the dream has passed on. I'm no longer part of that world, but you, you still have that chance. I promise that I'll get you out of here."

"Gary…" Ib whispered quietly. She gripped onto her skirt as she stood in front of the trap of Painted Ladies. "Please… help me Gary." Mary looked over at her, shocked that Ib was calling for Gary's help. Ib started to cry, tears quickly falling from her eyes as she dropped to her knees.

"Ib?"

"Gary please help me, I need you!" Ib yelled, the small gang around her had yet to move. Mary went to her side and tried to comfort her but she just shrugged her away. "No! Please… Gary…" Ib looked up with a determined face of anger. She saw the small path between two of the Painted Ladies, it led straight to the next door. Her hands clenched into fist and she went for it. Dashing as fast as she could, she made it through into the next room. Not a single one of those monsters touched her; bit seemed as if they were trying prevented Mary from following Ib.

Ib slammed the door and sat in front of it. She curled up and continued to cry. It was a short minute before she looked up at where she was. The room had a couch and a few book shelves. She didn't have a reaction until she looked at the large painting on the wall.

"M-mom… D-dad?" The painting resembled the exact look of her parents. "W-wh…"

"Here take my jacket Ib."

"Let's split up for now. I'll meet you on the other side, be careful Ib."

"The knife looks pretty dull… I'll hang onto it… Just in case!"

"Ib! Stand back! She is one of those monsters!"

"I do like red, but I like blue a lot more. Let's have a trade."

"Go without me, I'll be fine."

"C'mon Ib! Let's go home sister!"

All of it! Ib threw herself back at the wall in shock. All of it! Ib remembered all of it! That one day at the gallery! Mary was… Gary is… Ib still had to put the pieces together, but the memories had returned.

"Ib…" A soft voice spoke out to her. She looked up to see a smiling, happy, calm Gary standing there in front of her. She stood up straight. "Ib, you should know that… the ma-"

"Gary!" She yelled in excitement. Ib jumped towards him and wrapped her arms around his neck happily. She was still crying, but with tears of joy. Gary just smiled and wrapped his arms around her. "Gary I am so sorry I forgot you. I can't believe how stupid I was."

"Listen… that man you saw before… that wasn't me." Gary ran his fingers through her hair. "His heart isn't in the right place…"

"What can I do? We need to get out of this place; I am never going to leave you ever again!"

"Ib," he looked down and shook his head, "I don't know if that possible anymore." Ib stepped back, realizing that his physical appearance was fading.

"Gary don't go!"

"I'm so sorry Ib. I know you'll make it out of here though." He smiled sweetly again. "You always manage to do the impossible." And then Gary disappeared like air, right in front of her eyes.

"Gary!" She screamed desperately as she fell to the floor crying.

"Ib!" Mary slammed her way through the door a second later. Her dress was ripped at the bottom and her hair was messed up. She looked around and the looked down at Ib. "Oh no…"

"You… you monster!" Ib looked up at her. "Because of you… I… you lied to me! All these years and you lied!" The more she thought about the past seven years, the more she panicked and the angrier she was.

"Ib please, don't yell at me. I'm your sister. I was there for you." Mary attempted to keep calm, but it broke her heart to have Ib scream at her so angrily.

"No! No you weren't! You showed up and took your place as my sister! You used me to have a place in this world!" Ib stood with a glare over at her so called 'sister'.

"I never used you! I wanted a family!" Mary stared to bawl. Ib took steps towards the door.

"Well you got one…" She opened the door to see that all the Painted Ladies have dispersed, "and you lost one too." Ib said coldly as she closed the door behind her. Ib had more determination than ever, she wanted to get out of this place, she wanted to go back to the real world. That's where she knew she belong.
