"I found you!"
Zera had to close her eyes and take a deep breath. For a moment, she had been so afraid that they had, indeed, been found.
But to her relief, the door of the room they were in remained close. Eros was giggling happily outside.
Zera imagined a little girl skipping while enjoying the hide and seek game. And then there was silence.
The two friends exchanged glances and agreed it was time to move. Once they had pushed the door open, they searched the room for any key before running to get into the other room, which Beatrix had kicked open.
They left both doors close, in time for the peal of silent laughter to reverberate outside. The empty hallway echoed Eros humming.
Zera could imagine her twirling in a dance to a piece of music only she could hear. Her skirt was flowing freely beneath her feet.
Eros would be airborne. Her ghost-like figure allowed someone to see right through her.
