Alrighty guys here's the second chapter! I was pleased with having my first review from, IWishIWasACheesecake (I love cheese cake too btw :D) And happy that I had someone else favorite my story a few minutes after posting it! I was certaintly surprised 3
Naruto was worried. He was running all over the gallery looking for anyone, he didn't care who. He finally decided to run down stairs, but the moment he stepped passed the counter the lights flickered off. It was dark but his eyes adjusted quickly. Naruto walked to the door and pulled it. It was locked.. He started banging on the door and tried to look outside. The doors were pitch black, he couldn't see a darn thing. He looked around and noticed on his right there was some windows. He looked in the first one, nothing. Then he looked into the second one, nothing. Until some red liquid dripped down the opposite side of the window. Naruto threw himself back in fear. "What the hell is that, blood?!" He was terrified and confused now. Someone HAD to be here, somone HAD to be pulling a prank. He walked back upstairs, in front of him was another window, remembering what just happened he walked passed it, but in the corner of his eye he saw a shadow of a man walk pass the window on the other side. The blonde ran back to the window and looked around. No one was there, he turned to walk away but screeched after something started pounding on the window he walked away from. Naruto slowly turned around to see a hand print on the window now. He shivered. This is all too scary for him, and he slowly continued to walk. But was frightened out of his socks by some of the paintings. For instance, he walked by a painting of fruits on a table, the orange in the painting literally fell OUT of the painting and splattered on the floor. The painting of the cat meowed at him, but strangely he ended up wanting to pet the painting but knew that was ridiculous. He walked by a painting called the "Coughing Man" and the painting indeed coughed at him. In the end he was in front of "Fabricated World" again, but this time there was blue paint drizzling down from the art piece. Naruto slowly reached out to touch it and it smeared on his fingers. The sound of an old fashion type writer sounded out around him, he turned around freaked out but didn't see anything. He took a step but heard a squish. 'Did I just step in water..?' he questioned himself.
Naruto looked down to see red painted letters on the floor. He took a closer look and slowly read them out. 'COME NARUTO' His eyes widened. Either someone was playing a prank, or he was going to die here from some old creepy sex slave owner. His large imagination just scaring him more. Naruto turned around to walk away but noticed the blue paint that he had smeared was fixed into a sentence. He read it out loud, "Come down below Naruto, I'll show you some place secret.". He backed away, slipped in the red paint and sat there. 'C-come down below? What the hell does that mean?!' the blonde cursed in his mind. Naruto quickly stood up and went downstairs, walking around aimlessly once again and sat down next to a painting on the floor of king herring or something, he didn't know what the hell it was. He finally calmed down and looked around, next to him was blue paint shoe prints walking right into the picture on the floor. Quickly he stood up and looked at the information card of the painting. 'Abyss the Deep'. "No... That possibly wont work." he said as he slowly walked to the opening of the painting. Closing his eyes he continued to walk until he heard a splashing sound and opened his eyes."What the hell..." he mumbled. This was unbelievable! He walked INTO the painting! He looked around. Blue painting or red? Blue didn't look so threatening so he went down the hall that the blue painted hung on. There was a door, but it was blocked by an orange rose in a vase on a side table and on the blue wall 'C O M E' was painted out in blue all over the wall. He walked to the table and tried to move it, but it wouldn't budge. Naruto then looked closesly at the orange rose. It was orange, his favorite color... He looked around and plucked the rose from inside the vase to smell it. The rose smelt wonderful, it smelt as if it was still on the bush. He leaned against the non budging table but ended up scooting it a bit and falling on his butt. Blinking he looked back up at the table. It actually moved! He stood up and moved it to the side and jumped in success. He tried to walk into the next room but looked at the rose he left on the ground. He felt as if it was very important to him and that it was his responsibility to protect it. Picking up the fragile flora he continued into the room. There was a painting of a content woman and a blue key on the floor. Naruto picked up the key and straighted up just to jump back in surprise by the shift perverted like smile the woman was now giving him. He stepped forward to read her plack. "When the rose wilts(1), so too will you wilt." he read. "What the hell does that mean..? This place is so weird!" He exclaimed but stared at the orange rose in his hands the petals shown that some have already wilted. Why did he feel so worried and protective of this flower?
Alright I'ma end it here! Again with a cliff hanger.
If you have played the game you will know that the original character Ib is 9 years old and doesn't understand most of the words and names of the paintings and books. They show up as ?'s SO I put in what words I know go in those spots and wing it when I don't lol. But it works right?
(1) '?'s' I believe works as rot, or wilted. But used wilted in terms with the rose's petals.
