Chapter 4
I saw 2 paintings, a red and blue landscape with rocks. I headed to the side with the red painting and moved on. I saw a picture, "The ? Fish." I didn't know what it was so I continued on. There was a light blue door. Reluctantly, I tried to open it. Surprisingly, it was locked. I headed back to the entrance.
The exit was gone. The stairs leading down here, they just vanished. This was getting really creepy...
I went to the other side. On the wall were light blue letters, all spelling "COME COME COME." I saw a table with a vase, and in the vase was a red rose. Not knowing what to do, I took the rose and pushed the table. Behind the table was another blue door. This time, it was unlocked.
My eyes met with a portrait of a woman with teal hair that was seemingly hanging out of the picture frame. Her eyes were in a closed but happy expression. I went up to read the notice. "When the rose ?s, so too will you ? away." I really wish I understood what it meant. As I stepped to walk out, I felt something underneath my foot. A blue key? Could this be used to unlock the door? I picked it up.
I thought I heard a sound behind me, and as I turned around, I saw the woman's eyes were wide open. Her mouth was a Cheshire smile. Shivers ran down my spine as I exited the room.
Where all the light blue letters were before, blood red letters replaced them. "THIEF THIEF THIEF" they read. There was a note left on the wall. I read, "You and the rose are ? Know the weight of your own life." I wish I understood that word. As I slowly walked on, more red letters splattered the floor in front of me, "THIEF."
I ran from the scene back to the room with the locked blue door. I took a deep breath, and unlocked the door.
