caitlyn and keira were laying in bed, minding their own business, when a spider slowly creeped up the wall next to them.
caitlyn looked to her right, and saw the monstrous creature.
she held her breath in fright and immediately shouted, "keira, move, theres a spider!"
keira was quick to her feet as she scrambled to get to safety.

they came up with the plan that caitlyn would squish it with an old dollhouse wardrobe accessory, and continue their night.
but not everything goes according to plan.
as caitlyn was about to squash the big, black, 8-legged creature, her arachnophobia quickly gained dominance. she pulled away cautiously and stated, "i'm too scared."

keira was disappointed, but she couldn't blame her, neither her or caitlyn would do it.
plus the spider was hard to kill, it was in a corner.
keira then jumped to a conclusion; a solid plan b.
"caitlyn i think i have an idea."

caitlyn was hesitant, keiras ideas were never really put into action. they'd usually either end up not doing it, or it'd go wrong.
"go on.."

"i think," keira proceeded, "we can maybe hide in their wardrobe."
caitlyns eyes wandered around the room, trying her hardest to avoid the stupid suggestion.
"uh, i think that'd end badly." she replied, narrowing her chestnut eyes and furrowing her messy brows.
keira's smile soon faded into a deep frown.
"but technically it's our only option," she was determined, "the spare room is technically a storage room, the bathroom is - a bathroom - and mum and jon are downstairs, so we have no chance of survival down there."

caitlyn thought about her options carefully, still checking every minute if the spider had moved just an inch.
it hadn't, spiders are so devilishly stubborn.
she finally gave in.

"okay, wardrobe it is."

keira silently celebrated with herself, while caitlyn gathered their belongings.
