Hide and Seek

Olive was bored. Claire had convinced Horace to play dolls with her, but Olive wanted to do something else.

"Jacob, I'm bored. What should I do?" Olive asked.

"Where's Claire?"

"Playing dolls with Horace, but I already did that today. What should I do?"

Emma walked in.

"What are you guys talking about?" She asked.

"Olive's bored," Jacob said.

Emma nodded, understanding.

"Well, Enoch is in the basement. Hugh is probably with Fiona. Why don't you go look for Millard. Ask him what you should do."

"Kay."

Olive skipped out of the room. She checked the kitchen. "Millard?" Not here. She went into the sitting room. "Oh, Miiiillard?" Nope. Olive sighed. She decided to go check outside. By the tree, was a floating book and cap. Millard!

"Millard!" Olive exclaimed.

"Yes, Olive?"

"I'm bored and Emma said to look for you. Do you know what I should do?"

"Tag? Cards? Dolls? Ball?" Millard listed many games she could play, but Olive turned all of them down, deeming them boring and old.

"Uh... How about hide and seek?"

Finally, Olive said yes.

Millard said," Ok. I'll count to 15 and you can hide anywhere in the house. No going outside. Ok? 1, 2, 3..."

Olive giggled then ran into the house. Olive ran into her and Claire's room. Claire and Horace were still playing dolls. Poor Horace, who was grimacing while putting a dress on a doll.

"I'm playing hide and seek with Millard. Don't tell him I'm here ok?"

"Sure," said Horace. Claire pretended to lock her mouth (front and back) and throw the key away.

Olive opened the closet door and ran in, closing it behind her.

Millard POV

"13, 14, 15." I walked into the house. "Ready or not, here I come!"

I went into the kitchen. I looked under the table, in the cabinets. Believe it or not, Olive could roll into a ball and fit into the cabinets. Olive wasn't here.

I went to the sitting room. Jacob and Emma were talking at the window. "Have you guys seen Olive? I'm playing hide and seek with her."

Emma cast an annoyed glance at me. Jacob said," She can in here a minute ago giggling, but that's it. Sorry, Mill."

I walked into the classroom. "Olive?!?! Where arrrreeeee youuuu?"

"Polite persons do not shout across the house for everyone to hear, Mr. Nullings." Said Miss Peregrine.

"Sorry," I said. "Have you seen Olive? I'm playing hide and seek with her."

"No. I'm afraid not,"

"Ok,"

I left the classroom and decided to check her room. I heard giggling through the door. Yup. Olive's in there. I opened the door and found Claire and Horace playing dolls. "Claire, have you seen Olive?" Giggling. Gotcha!

"Nope!" "Horace?" "No." More giggling.

"Oh well. Hey, Claire, do you mind if I look in your closet? I think I heard something in there."

"Sure," said Claire.

I opened the door. "Aha! I found- you...?"

Nobody was in there. Huh? Giggling.

I looked up. There was Olive at the ceiling. "Oi! Come back down. It's my turn to hide."

"Okay!"

Olive floated down to the floor. She had been practicing controlling her levitation. She still had trouble sometimes, but she really improved. "1, 2, 3..." Olive started.

I dashed out of the room and left my clothes on the floor, making me completely invisible. Ha! She'll never find me!

Olive POV

"14, 15! Here I come!"

I left my room and started down the hall. I found Millard's cap on the floor. Aww man! He's completely invisible now. I'll never find him!

"Miiiillard! Where are yooouuuuu?"
