Ib's story is a bit complexed because I don't want it sounding like yume nikki with the dreams and stuff. It's hard but I'm giving whatever i can.
Ch.2 Dangerous search
Ever since Mary has been showing her true colors and her overly protection toward Ib its been over pressuring Ib that she cannot enjoy her days to the fullest. Ib is constantly being watched over Mary and she has been gripping on Ib's wrist for a long time till she is tired and lets go for a bit. Ib has been rubbing her wrist knowing Mary is going to grip even tighter than before because of Ib has been wondering about that man for a while.
Ib sits on her chair and just wondered what is going on and what can she do to discover the unknown that Mary is trying to prevent Ib from seeing. Ib suddenly had an image idea that just popped in her head and began to wonder where did this idea come from and why does this give me the motivation to paint that picture.
Ib began to sketch it out and paint the picture that looks like a library that has been twisted and distorted but its bright and full of wonder and curiosity. It took three hours till Ib was finished and began to wonder if it's a doorway to the unknown, Ib touched the painting and the surfaced felt like it was water exempt it was cold and there was cool air in the other side of the painting. She decided to jump through it Out of curiosity and founded it was a library of the unknown and has a lot of books that could give her information of her visions and her problems that would tell her what is going on. Or so she thinks.
Ib wanders around the long hallway looking at all the books and picture displays of colorful imagery and feels like this place is loose on its appearance despite libraries are sometimes tense because the library Ib goes is always tense. As Ib wonders in the unknown section of the library she sees a purple book that she got interested, Ib looked at the book and saw a picture of a rose that looked beautiful but it looked lonely. Ib began to read it and was fascinated of the story she wanted to read more and more of it, but when Ib got to chapter five the last few line was,
"My rose was plucked away and I faded into darkness, I wanted to help her but I'm- -"
The rest of the book was blank and she tried to flip to page to page to at least to find any picture of what happened to this man of the book, but she couldn't and it was an incomplete book. Ib began to close the book until she got a paper cut from the book and dropped the book that laid open. Ib shook her hand to ease the pain down and reached for the book, as she got close there was text that faded on the middle of the page that said,
"It's not your fault Ib, don't be sad."
Ib gazed at the text becoming scared because the text was the exact same words as her dream she had yesterday. Ib closed the book and puts it back while backing away from the unknown section, Ib looked around and began wanting to escape this place because whatever is haunting her had followed her into this place also. Ib ran through section after section trying to find a way out but the place felt like its repeating itself section to section. Ib backed to a wall, covered her ears and hoping if the scary would go away, suddenly she felt a hand patted her head that felt like it was gentle and loving to her. Ib looked up and saw a bright figure that had a smile that gave Ib a startling look.
The bright figure gave Ib a purple key that was attached to a small chain and told Ib, "If you want to find answers of you're visions and your past find a purple chess that has a symbol of a rose. There you will find the truth and all the questions."
Then the figure fades way and Ib stares at the key wondering if it could solve all of her problems, suddenly the walls of books led a way to the exit of the painting. Ib walked toward the exit and walked out of the picture as the world she is leaving began to distort and collapse into a bright void. When Ib exited out the painting picture swirled and disappeared only leaving a blank clean canvas, Ib looked at the key wondering where would this unknown chest would be at and when will she see it.
A knock was heard from the door and asked if Ib was ok if she wanted some fresh air, Ib thought twice and decided to go on with the offer of going outside so she agrees so. Ib opens the door and sees Mary in a happy mood and asked Ib where does she want to go and it should not be an art museum or somewhere boring. Ib thought where to go and she only thought was the mall because thats all Ib could come up with that has a lot of activity and so on.
Mary agrees so and tells Ib that she is going to look for cool stuff that Ib and Mary could play with and create fun memories. Ib smiles a bit and nods so, Ib wanted to hide the fact she is carrying a purple key that she hid in her pocket hoping Mary did not notice she was holding the key to all of Ib's answers.
When Mary got herself ready she grabs Ib's wrist and brings her to the shopping district and like a hyperactive child with ADHD Mary looks all over the place with Ib while looking at all the cool stuff that Mary could find and get her hands on and Ib had to fake a smile a bit because she knows this is embarrassing but its Mary what would she say. Suddenly when Ib looked carefully around and so far nothing seems very interesting to Ib until she spotted a purple and red felt pen that looks something nice for her to use. Ib walks into the store and asked about the pen and how much does it cost.
The store owner walked to the display section and told Ib it's an antique pen that said to obtain powers and some sort of hidden abilities of what the tag description says. The owner tells the price of the pen is $400 and not everyone buys this pen because it tends to be like it lays in the background even if its displayed. Ib wonders and agrees to buy it, Ib gives the money to the owner and immediately put the pen in her pocket because if Mary sees it she might toss it somewhere or destroy it because she seems to hate the color purple. Ib meets up with Mary and asks if Ib bought something for herself, Ib tells Marry she did not find anything special and she is not in the best mood on buying something at this very moment.
Mary stares at Ib's pocket and wonders what Ib could be hiding in her pocket, Mary asks Ib whats in her pocket that suddenly became serious and slightly twisted while maintaining a smile. Ib tells Mary it's a felt pen and it's the color green, Mary notices Ib is showing nervous actions and tells Ib to show it to her or else she will take it by force. Ib became scared and had cold feels throughout her body she felt like she is in big trouble with Mary.
Ib takes out the pen and shows it to Mary jut to accept her fate and or punishment, but when Mary saw the pen it was actually green with a mixture of yellow. Mary was happy that Ib actually obtained a pen that has Mary's favorite colors, Ib was surprised it actually changed colors because it might know if Mary sees purple with a mixture of red she would automatically destroy it. Ib tells Mary its something she took an actually interest she bought it because it reminded her of nature and sunlight (made up lie from Ib). Mary became very happy and tells Ib she has something that reminded her of Ib, Ib wondered what it was and asked Mary if she could see it.
Mary agrees and takes out what she bought that reminded of Ib, when Mary showed Ib it was a doll that had a red and white uniform with button eyes and it was smiling. Ib was smiling of impressiveness in the outside but in the inside she was very creeped out because it looked like it had the same similarities as Ib in miniature size. Mary says it's very cute and she would always bright it with her all the time because it would giver Mary comfort during the night and day. Ib began to be concerned about Mary's possessiveness that resembles Ib or something because lately she has been very clingy in the past few weeks especially a doll that exactly looks like her.
When Ib and Mary headed home Ib took out her pen which it changed back to red and purple, she tested the pen and it began to write like an everyday pen. She began to write words and letters on the paper to test the pen and see what powers could it posses. Suddenly the words began to form into some sort of a wording of a straightforward clue that regards the key.
"What you are looking for is shrouded with petals of the night sky and painted the world with forgiveness and love. Ib knows that it's referring a painting that has purple rose garden with a man standing next to a box that is said to be a mystery of what is inside the chest. Ib quietly shredded the hint because she doesn't want Mary to suspect anything of Ib's plans and trying to figure out answers of the mysterious man and her own memory. Ib decided to prepare herself to head out on her own making sure she doesn't get caught by Mary because Ib knows what would happen if Mary becomes angry.
Ib heads to the Millsworth art museum and looks for the, "Purple Rose Of Mystery" painting so that she can enter though it. Ib searches for a while through the floors checking the painting location but she has no luck finding it. When Ib felt tired and wanted to take a small break she sees a door that looks like something for extremely valuable and old paintings. Ib opens the door and sees a hallway that looks exactly like in her dream, she walks though the long hallway that has all the wonderful paintings and some of them has colorful expressions that are the opposite like her dream. When Ib reaches to the end of the hallway to the last door that is made out of wood she enters through it and what inside the room is wonderful that is filled with purple and blue roses and petals that laid all over the room. The painting looked rather large than what she expected but she greatly loves the painting and how detailed and realistic it looks.
When Ib got close and was about to enter the painting she hear a loud bang from the door that sounded like it was really desperate. Ib was shocked and scared who followed Ib and it turned out it was Mary, she looked like she was in a hurry and had a both crazy and heartbroken expression.
"Ib….why do you keep going to that man? Why do go to him and not me? Don't i love you enough Ib? Ib you know you always belong to me and that man will ruin my promise and I made another promise that as long as I live you will never leave me and you can never escape. Now Ib…come back to me or else…I will force you to come back to me." Ib backed away towards the painting with fear wanting to escape Mary wrath and obsession, Mary's eyes darken with pure hatred, love, and distraction that became a pulse of desperation.
"If that man keeps trying to take away Ib from me then…then…the world is after my Ib MY IB! IB you don't have a choice and I'm going to make you mine! No more of anything and you can forget seeing everything but the only thing you will see and draw is me and everything me. No one…no one no one no one no one NO ONE CAN TOUCH IB!"
Ib tries to climb into the painting trying to get away from Mary but Ib slips and falls to the floor, Mary walks closer and closer to Ib with a taser on her hand with a wide smile of delight she is getting closer to Ib. But then the petals started moving on their own and moved toward Mary pushing Mary out the room with full force and sealing the door preventing the door from opening. Mary desperately started banging and stabbing the door yelling that sounded like sadness and rage.
"YOU BASTARDS TRYING TO TAKE AWAY AND SEPARATE ME FROM IB! LET ME IN! IB DONT YOU DARE ESCAPE ME! LET ME IN!"
Ib shook her head trying to get rid of her worries off of her mind and climbs into the painting and left the room. Ib knows the door wont hold Mary for long but it bought time for Ib to escape and search for the chest and her lost memories of her missing past events. When Ib entreated the world she sees a lot of purple roses and gardens full of different shades and tones of blue, green, and brown. Its rather a large place and its like a wonderful place to look around but Ib knows this isn't the time for sight seeing she must find this chest and put this mystery of missing memories that were hidden and held safe for her.
Ib enters deep into the garden following the purple petals that seems to lead her to the place she is looking for, but its a long way and she knows this search is not going to be a very easy task. All of a sudden she heard Mary in the distance calling out for Ib like a deranged maniac that is looking for her lost love that just left her and will do anything to find it.
Ib moves faster trying to give herself a good hidden distance away from Mary, Mary continuously calls out to Ib as she is heard running all over the place searching for possible hiding place. Ib knows if she doesn't find what she is looking for it would be the end of this search and she would never see the light of day and or face Mary's wrath that would forever scar Ib.

Ok Im going to stop there because the last chapter is going to finalize the story and what would happen to Ib, Mary, and (ahem) Garry. When is Garry going to show up on front of Ib in person? Well that I'm holding for the last chapter and the felt pen that holds powers and tells Ib the clue of the location is i will admit a rushed thing because usually the painting would tell her but i wanna try this old pen giving clues a shot. Anyway's I will say and admit its a bit rushed and should have put more and more detail of Ib searching for the clue, but i don't want to delay too much on the story and Its going to go in circles if i do type about it. Mary becoming scary crazy yeah it fits. Anyway's message or post anything that needs adding what is needed not needed and or what would fit in the story just for adjustments. I'm still sort of concerned on Making fan made stories because i don't want to ruin the characters personalities and what not so yeah kinda shaky about it but it try my best.
Welp see ya on the next chapter!
