We played for a while, Summer, her sister and I. We weaved through the vast walls of her house as I laughed for the first time in a while. I had forgotten what it felt like to be a child again. However, in that moment with Summer I was a child again.
After a while, i hid in what seemed like the master bedroom of Nicholas', not that I had realized it back then. Nevertheless, I went under the bed and closed my eyes. Back then, people slept in canopy beds with the lace curtains and the four-poster metallic ends. I think I still prefer that.
Anyways, I was under it when I heard the door open. It was a loud creek, the kind that one would hear in a scary movie. Slow and loud.
I closed my eyes and held my breath, thinking it was Diana, Summer's younger sister who was on the verge of finding me.
"Asteria!"
I heard his loud voice boom along the vast walls of the bedroom.
