My eyes fluttered open, my head was throbbing a bit and I felt rather dizzy. However my body was nice an warm, it felt nice.

"Ia, are you awake?" I herd a familiar voice ask.

"Y-yes." I rubbed my eyes. Len sat down next to me and pressed his hand against my forehead.

"You don't seem to have a fever." He observed.

"N-no, I feel fine, really!"

"Ok, so, then...what happened?" His eyes intensely stared into mine. I tried to avoid his gaze. "Ia, don't worry, you can tell me."

"I herd that Guertena only painted fictional characters, people or things that never have or will exist..."

"Right..."

"Well... It might sound ridiculous but I passed out because I saw a painting of them.... What if they're not real, what am I then?"

"Well... For one thing, your real, because I can see and hear you and the Guertena thing is just a rumor, I'm sure you got overwhelmed with all that's happened." He comforted.

"Yeah, I guess your right." I stuttered.

"Hey! Take a look in that pocket!" I put my hand in the pocket and pulled out a yellow wrapped piece of candy.
"It's banana flavored."

"T-thank you, Len but I really don't need it." I refused.

"Just take it, I'm not gonna eat it anyway...." He flashed a smile.

"O-ok, thanks." I left it in my pocket for later.

"We can rest if you feel like it."

"No, no, I'm fine." I got up and gave him his jacket, then I walked to the door.

"You sure?" He inquired.

"Yeah, I'm sure." I opened the door, Len moved next to me and shut the door.

"You have your rose?"

"Yes, do you too?"

"Yup! Safe and sound."
He cheerfully assured me.
The corridor was painted a dark blue, it was a nice color, I honestly liked it. I carelessly walked through the hall, starring at the walls and paintings, suddenly I was pushed to the floor.

"Ow..." I let out.

"Ooowie!" I herd an unfamiliar voice.

"A-are you ok?!" Len picked me up. "W-who is she?" He whispered.

"I don't know..."

"Uh...You hurt?" Len helped pick the girl up.

"Are you ok? did you get hurt?" I clinged to Len's arm

"I kinda hurt my butt, other than that I'm fine!"

"H-hey! Are you from the art Gallery?!" He frantically asked.

"Y-yeah! I somehow got trapped here and now I'm trying to find a way out." She answered with a calm yet relieved voice.

"S-so are we!!" Len didn't bother to lower his voice."would you like to come with us?" He calmed down and extended his hand to the girl. I didn't say a thing, I just stared at the unidentified girl, clicking to Len, a little afraid, well, I'm a shy girl.

"Oh! Yeah!! Please, I hate being alone here, it's a little scary! Anyway, I'm Mayu." She flashed a wide smile, Len returned the gesture.

"I'm Len and this is Ia, she's a bit shy!" He chuckled. I gave a weak smile, so I would give a bad impression.

"N-nice to meet you"

"Nice to meet you too, Ia! Thanks for letting me come with you" she had a wide grin spread across her face, and grabbed hold of my pail hands. "Let's get along and be great friends,k?" She looked straight into my eyes and grinned an innocent smile.

"Yeah!" I replied with a smile. Len chuckled and then turned to Mayu.

"Oh, hey, Mayu. Ia and I have a rose-"

"Oh, yeah!! I have one too, it's red!" She pulled it out of a pocket sewn to her sweeter.

"Alright, keep it safe then, this I-" he was interrupted once again.

"Ia's rose is pink! I love pink! And red! And blue! Oh and especially yellow!!"

"H-hey!! Are you listening?!!" The scene made me laugh, despite the situation I was in, having such nice company made it somewhat funnier.

<<TIMESKIP>>

"What is with this room? It's fricking creepy." He stared at it with an unsettling expression.

"Really? I think it's really cute!" Mayu puffed her cheeks and grabbed a rabbit ornament on the floor."what do you think Ia?"

"... I guess it's pretty cute, yeah!" I stared at the pink rabbit Mayu held in her arms.

"Seriously? W-what ever! Last just look around and leave..."

"Kk!" Mayu skipped around the room. It was big, the walls painted in a dark blue hue. There were two bookshelfs on each side long tables with the same rabbit ornaments as the one Mayu picked up from the floor. In the center of it was a giant painting with a pink rabbit and small red eyes, I walked closer to it and stared at the name plate, no author name, it only read 'Red Eyes' but it was only logical to think it was by Guertena, al though it wasn't like the rest.
Suddenly the sound of shattering glass resounded through the dimly light room. I turned my head and saw one of the rabbit ornaments on the floor and a small glow shinning in between the broken pieces of china.
I ran to it and carefully picked up a small purple key without cutting my hands.

"H-hey! I found a key!" I shouted.

"Great! We can go now!!" Len grabbed Mayu by the collar and my bag strap and dragged us out to the hallway.

"Hey! Let go!" Mayu pouted. "Wait... Do you hear something?" At first I herd nothing but silence, then, there was a sound coming from a painting, tearing paper or growing grass.

"Watch out!!!!" Len cried, green vines from the floor. Len pushed me just as the strange grass was about to touch me, I fell to the floor, though I didn't get hurt, I rapidly got up, before me stood a giant wall formed by the vines, they reached the celling and were as hard as stone, Len stood on the other side.
