So, this chapter was written directly after I finished the first chapter, so I haven't seen anything yet. But next chapter, I would have probably seen something.

I DO NOT OWN Ib, Kouri does.

Garry dropped Mary off at school then headed over to the art gallery. When he entered, he went towards the painting 'Sacrifice'. But as soon as he got to it, he felt a sudden pull. He followed the feeling towards a huge painting called 'Fabricated World'. Looking at it, he felt as if something was pulling him into it.

BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM!

The lights suddenly went out as he turned around. On the ground were the letters, Y O U ' ! ! ! "You've returned?" He read it aloud as he turned back towards 'Fabricated World' seeing there was now writing under it in blue paint. "Come down below Garry, I've missed you?" He looked around. Walking back downstairs, he noticed part of the rope fence around 'Abyss of the Deep' was missing, with blue footprints leading in. After hesitating a bit, he jumped into the painting, only to open his eyes in a hallway. Looking around, he saw a beautiful blue rose in a vase. Walking over to it, the voice in his head returned. Know the weight of your life.

He stared at the rose when he heard running coming towards him. Turning around, he saw 'The Lady in Red' coming after him, followed by 'The Lady in Blue'. Frightened, he ran away from them, running into a room where a doll was creepily sitting, staring at him. "She'S bEEn WaITing fOR YoU." It laughed. Creeped out, he slowly walked towards the doll. "Who is she?" He asked. "Why, Ib of course! ShE'S BeeN wAiTIng for YoU to ReTurN." It's gaze followed his movements. "Ib..?" He questioned. After he asked who she was, he heard someone walk into the room. Looking over, he saw a small girl with brown long hair and piercing red eyes.

"Garry? Is that you?" The girl asked. All of a sudden, it all rushed back to him. The gallery, the paintings, the dolls, the mannequins, the roses, and above all, Mary. He began to fall onto his knees when Ib caught him. "Garry!" She exclaimed as she hugged him. "Ib! Ib! Ib! I remember now!" He said crying as he hugged the girl back. She smiled and began to pet him. "How long has it been?" She asked. "3 years. Today being the anniversary." He said, calming down in her touch. "3 years huh?" She looked down at him with a saddened smile. "Wait..." Garry said, remembering what Mary did to Ib's rose, "Didn't you...?" He asked avoiding the word die. "I did... but soon after everything turned dark and quiet, I woke up again. I remember looking around when I found my painting." She said looking into his eyes. "I've missed you so much." She said. "Its been lonely here."

He looked at the small girl, even though 3 years had passed, she never changed a bit. She helped Garry up, "It's about time you left. I'm sorry I pulled you into this nightmare again. I just wanted to see you again." He nodded, "Okay... Can I at least visit again?" She smiled, "Of course! Maybe bring Mary next time so I could see her again?"
"If that is what you want." Ib turned towards a doll and one of the ladies in red, "I want you to escort him out please." They nodded and motioned for Garry to follow.

"Ib is a very sweet girl, you know. She took care of us and made sure we'd never be neglected." The lady in red said. "Dolly and I are almost at her side 24/7. You can call me Red." The doll waved at the mention of their name. "So, here we are. If you may, please hand us your rose so we can keep it safe until your next visit." Red smiled and Garry nodded, hesitantly giving Dolly the rose. Dolly handed Red the rose then hopped onto Garry's coat. "She wants to come with you." Red said sighing. "Is that okay with you Garry?"
"I guess..." Garry said looking at the doll who had previously tricked him into trying to find a key while trapped in the Doll Room. "Well, goodbye!" Red waved as Garry went through the painting, reappearing at the gallery.

"Well, lets keep you hidden for now." Garry took the doll and placed it into one of his coat pockets. Taking a deep breath to calm down, he walked out of the gallery and went over to Mary's school to pick her up. "GARRY!" Mary yelled waving as she ran out of school. "My teacher said I did great on my art project, look at it!" She held up a canvas with 3 roses painted on it. One red, one blue, and one yellow. "W-Wow.. that does look cool." Garry complimented. Mary frowned, "Whats wrong?" Garry took her hand, "Nothing. Lets go. Tomorrow is Saturday correct? Do you want to visit the gallery again?" She smiled again, "Sure!"

Garry closed his bedroom door and took Dolly our of his pocket. "sHE KnoWS." Dolly said as he placed her down onto his desk. "Knows what?" He asked. "SHe kNoWS YoU rememBER." Dolly giggled. "And how are you so sure?" Garry asked the doll as he sat down on his bed, taking his coat off. The doll just kept laughing. "Creepy..." Garry mumbled, thinking about how he could get Mary to not suspect him as he got her back into the nightmarish gallery.

"He remembers... Tch... 3 years of hard work down the drain... and its all your fault Ib..." Mary growled as she drew pictures of her old friend.

Chapter 2 is finished! Hope you enjoyed~ Next chapter will be the last chapter.
