Chapter 1- Escape

One day, Nya was walking in the hallway when she heard a lot of grumbles and a long Bang from Mia's room. Intrigued, she turned and walked to the doorway.

Mia was putting and taking stuff out of her suitcase and bag.

" No.... not that." She mumbled, throwing the item into her closet before realizing she was being spied on. She tuned to see Nya.

" What do you want?" She asked, annoyed.

" Nothing. I just heard sounds from your room ad wanted to investigate." Nya replied.

" Well, now you know. Now GO." Mia, with strength that defied her age, pushed Nya out of the room and slammed her door with a Bang. Seconds later, a satisfying click came from the door. Mia had locked it. Then, Mia turned and returned to her shenanigans.

Nya, her curiosity piqued, tiptoed back to Mia's door. The muffled sounds of rustling fabric and hushed muttering fueled her determination. She pressed her ear cautiously against the cool wood.

Suddenly, a loud "Ow!" echoed from inside, followed by a string of muttered curses. Nya recoiled, a nervous giggle escaping her lips. Clearly, Mia wasn't just packing clothes. What could she possibly be putting in her bag that caused such a strong reaction?

Deciding a more subtle approach was needed, Nya scanned the hallway for inspiration. Her eyes landed on a discarded magazine lying on the floor. With a mischievous grin, she ripped out a thin strip of paper and carefully slid it under the door. A tense few seconds ticked by. Then, a small shuffle from inside sent a shiver down Nya's spine. Did Mia catch her?

Suddenly, the doorknob rattled. Mia's muffled voice drifted through the wood, "Are you still there, Nya? Because if you are, you're in for a world of trouble!"

Nya's heart raced as she quickly pulled the strip of paper back, retreating down the hallway as quietly as she could. She pressed her back against the wall, holding her breath, hoping Mia wouldn't actually come out and catch her. Moments later, the rattling stopped, and the muffled sounds resumed from within the room.

Relieved but still curious, Nya considered her options. She could try again later when Mia was less likely to be around, or she could simply confront her friend directly. But knowing Mia's temper, the latter seemed like a risky move.

An idea sparked in Nya's mind. She quietly made her way to the kitchen, where she knew a spare key to every room in the house was kept in a small drawer. After a quick search, she found the key labeled "Mia's Room." Pocketing it, she tiptoed back to the hallway and waited until she was certain Mia was deeply engrossed in whatever she was doing.

With the stealth of a cat, Nya approached Mia's door once more. She gently inserted the key into the lock, turning it slowly to avoid making any noise. With a soft click, the door unlocked. Nya took a deep breath and cautiously pushed the door open just a crack, peering inside.

Mia was hunched over her suitcase, muttering to herself and vigorously shaking a small, locked box. Nya's eyes widened in surprise. What on earth was Mia up to?

A sudden creak from the door made Mia whip her head around. Nya froze, caught in the act. For a tense moment, they stared at each other.

"Nya! What the heck are you doing?" Mia's eyes blazed with a mix of anger and embarrassment.

Nya stammered, "I-I was just worried about you! You seemed so upset, and I heard a loud noise. I thought you might need help."

" I don't need help! I just need to be left alone!" Mia yelled. She snatched the key from Nya's hand and kicked her out of the room.
