"How about we play hide and seek?" The leader of the older girls said.
The girl had a good point. There was an abundance of places to hide in Angela's bedroom. And they didn't know how long they were going to be stuck like this. Could be a couple of minutes. Could be a few hours. They needed something to do to kill the time. If nothing else it would distract them from the terrifying situation they were in. All the girls seemed to be down with playing the game. All except Adrianna.
"I don't think that's a good idea. My mom doesn't like me snooping around her room. Maybe we should leave and go back to the living room and wait this out."
The leader began to get angry at Adrianna challenging her at every turn.
"Newsflash dummy we're already in her room! And she's not going to catch us. You hear that?" The girl points up towards the top of the bed. The girls all hear a large bellowing in rapid succession coming from the peak.
"She's out like a light. And if she does wake up it be best for you to be hidden. Who knows what your sweet mommy would do if she caught you at this size." The leader says threateningly towards Adrianna.
Adrianna is about to cry again but stops herself when she feels Nicole's hand rub her back reassuringly. She stiffens up and nods.
"Now that that's settled we need someone to be it. How about the new girl Nicole?" She points at Nicole.
"Fine I'll do it but we need some ground rules."
"You're right, fine. No leaving the bed room. The closet is fair game. The first game will last an hour or until everyone is found, whichever comes first. Everyone set a timer on your watch. Oh and one more thing... Adrianna's mom is home base. If you make it on her you're safe...from the seeker at least." The leader says ending with a wicked laugh and staring right at Adrianna before she starts again.
"Give Nicole your flashlight. She'll need it. Turn around close your eyes and count to a hundred. Everyone good with the rules?"
All the girls nodded.
"Good. Nicole start counting."
