Lies ~Book 2~

~Chapter 1~

Mairin's POV
"Go Fish!" I said as I smacked the card onto the ground. "Dang it!" Serena pouted.

I smiled.

"Wait—did you hear that?" Serena whispered. I shook my head.

"Well I did! C'mon!" She grabbed my hand and we silently ran down the long halls of the castle.

~~~~~

We stopped at the end of the stairs and tried to catch our breaths.

All of a sudden we heard a crashing noise from the kitchen. And if you listen closely, you heard someone cuss.

"What w-was t-t-that?!" I whispered. "I don't know!!" Serena clenched my arm.

"Let's go look!" I said. "No! What if we get murdered—or—or caught—or—" I interrupted Serena, "C'mon! Guards are always on duty! We won't die!" I grabbed her arm and we ran across the hall and into the front of the kitchen room.

We both took a deep breath and pushed open the doors. Then—we heard some rustling noises.

I reached out my hand and touched something soft, and silky....

"GAAAAAAA!!!" The something—or someone screamed.

Serena and I screamed and bumped into something and fell. Soon, the lights were on.

"Mairin? Serena?" We looked up and saw Alain!!

"You scared the *BEEP* daylight out of me!" He said and reached out his hand for me to grab.

I grabbed his hand and he hugged me. My heart was pounding from what just happened.

"Thanks for the help!" Serena said with sarcasm, while rubbing her back.

Alain smiled with a toothy grin.

"So why were you here, anyways?" I asked.

Alain's smile turned to a frown.

"Someone broke in." He said.

"WHAT?!?" Serena and I yelled.

"Someone stole 100 dollars worth of food, and got away" He responded.

"But how? What about the guards?!" Serena said. "They didn't know. Whoever snuck in must be a ninja or something!" Alain answered.

"But who could it be?" Alain asked himself.
