Hide and Seek

My legs were beginning to cramp as I sat motionless in my hiding place. I tried to slow my breathing, but I could hear my heartbeat drumming in my ears. I wondered if it could be heard in the deafening silence. I felt my calf muscle tighten painfully and as a reaction, I shifted my weight. The sound echoed and it was my fatal mistake…

Soon I began to here voices come closer to me and I could see a shadow that stopped right by where I was hiding. I held my breath so I would be as silent as I could be. There were two voices that I heard.

“Did you see her?” said a tall dark haired man. “No, she ran into these woods somewhere.”

As soon as they left I ran even further into the woods and wouldn’t stop running. It was hard to run because my leg was still a bit cramped but no matter what i still ran until I found a good hiding place to rest. While I was running I stopped in a open surrounding and then I blinked for a second then saw a pathway that led to an old, small house.

The house looked familiar like the one from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The crazy thing about this was that I was running from a guy that was sent to capture me but there was two.

"This is crazy. Am I in some like of fairytale or something," I thought. "But wait I started in my home when those guys came to my door so I can't be in a fairytale."

I heard some voices and ran into the little house to hide. When I turned around to find a better hiding place I noticed everything was small. I could not believe my eyes, and when I went upstairs there were seven beds with each one having a name on it. The seven names were: Cassidy, Brooke, Mackenzie, Chelsea, Carmen, Brittany, and Jorja. I heard a doorknob turning so I panicked and hid in a small closet downstairs. The door opened and I was able to see a bit through the crack in the door.

"Brooke how many flowers did we pick today," said Carmen.

"We picked 449 flowers today," Brooke replied.

"Hey look what I found outside by our door," Cassidy exclaimed.

"Okay then that makes 450 flowers we picked today," Brooke corrected.

My leg was starting to cramp once again from hiding. I tried moving my foot but then it hit something and made noise.

"Whoops. I hope they didn't ear that." I quietly said.

"Did you hear that Mackenzie? Where did it come from," Brittany asked.

I held my breath so I'd be as quite as I could. That didn't quite work out too well. Mackenzie opened the door to the closet then everything went absolutely silent.
