Hide & Seek

Mallory's POV:
It was late afternoon at Valhalla. Floor 19 had been bored, so naturally we were now playing hide and seek. The only rules were that you couldn't go in other people's rooms and you couldn't leave the hotel.
Alex was searching now and I could hear her from my amazing hiding spot from the top of a bookshelf. It was about a yard from the wall, not quite pushed up against it.
I had nearly fallen and broken my neck to get up here so I better win this round.
I could see Magnus, and Halfborn following her. TJ must not have been found yet. The ones caught were not being very quiet.
"Maggie, she would not hide in the kitchen, you're just hungry." Alex says.
"He's hungry for something but it's not what's in the kitchen." Halfborn says. I tried to contain my laughter. I softly snorted and giggled into my hands.
Alex didn't notice me but, Halfborn did. His gaze slightly turned towards me and he smirked and waved at me.
I glared, and made threatening signs. I swear if he gives me away. Thankfully Alex hadn't noticed Halfborn's antics yet.
I watched as the oaf made his way to my bookshelf. He leaned against it, the shelf shook a bit and I grabbed he sides so I didn't fall.
He then took a book from the shelf, paged through it, and slammed it back into the shelf. I stifled a yelp and wished a thousand curses on to the berserker.
My stupid boyfriend continued to shake my hiding place, until I finally fell. I watched almost in slow motion as my hands slipped and I fell to the ground.
My descent brought me right into the idiot's arms. I tried to get out of his hold but he hugged me close.
I bite his ear but he didn't let go.
"Found you Keen." Alex announced.
"Okay, Halfborn, she found me. Now drop me!" I say, squirming in his arms.
"Fine." He dropped me and I kicked him in the groin. He groaned and I smiled in satisfaction.
We walked around the hotel looking for TJ. After an hour we started calling quits, settling in the empty mess hall.
"Jefferson! We're done!" Alex called.
TJ popped out of the kitchen doors, covered in flour.
"Ha! Told you the kitchen wasn't stupid!" Magnus exclaims.
"Right, because you knew TJ was in there and you weren't just trying to get food." Alex questions.
"Finding TJ would have just been a bonus!"
They continue to talk while TJ starts counting.
I sprint to my destination. Willing the elevator to go faster I finally make it to the spa floor.
I opened the towel closet and hide behind a stack. I sat down and closed my eyes, listening to the water running in the other room.
I must have dozed off because the sound of the door knob rattling.
       "Mack?" I herd TJ's voice. Biting my lip I tried to listen to his feet and tell where he was going.
       "Mallory." He sang my name. I heard his feet approaching.
     Just before TJ could discovered me I pushed the towels on top of him and made a run for it. If he didn't actually see me I was still in this game.
         I sprinted down the hallway, I could hear TJ struggling so I still had time.
       Once I couldn't hear the ex-union soldier I slowed down and thought of a new spot to hide.
      I leaned against a wall, finding a closet, a bit down the hall. I debated if I should I in it or not.
     Suddenly I herd footsteps coming down the hall. Opening the door, I stepped in and silently shut it.
       Walking backwards, I hit a human object. I went to yelp but the stranger put a hand over my mouth. I bite the hand and reached for my knifes.
       "Easy there, Mack." The voice I recognized as my boyfriend's muttered in my ear.
"Arse," I mutter kicking his shin.
He laughs and wrapped his arms around my waist.
I wiggle out of his arms, "You gave away my hiding spot." I hiss. Putting an ear to the door, I listened for footsteps.
     After determining that no one was out there I left the closet. Then carefully made my way to the closet.
     "Found you, Keen!" I heard TJ's voice.  Irish cursed came from my mouth.
       "Halfborn's in the closet!" I shout, before turning on my heel and running.
"Curse you, woman!" I heard Halfborn bellow behind me.
