Pre-View
They're coming. Thump. Thump. Thump. I can hear them above our heads, walking around as quiet as a mouse. I can almost visualize them, looking in closets and under tables. They search every corner of the room, looking for a sign- a clue- of us. Anything that tells them that we've been there. That we are here. They're going crazy, they can't find us. They've searched the whole section- nothing. Their footsteps get louder, closer, I can hear the beating of my heart so clearly. They'll hear it... I know they will. "Breathe." He says. I look over at him but all I see is his eyes. Breathe. He takes my hand in his and gently presses it against his lips. It's going to be fine. He mouths. I nod and move closer to him, grabbing onto his shirt as if I were falling.
The seconds felt like hours, dragging on forever. I want them to leave, to realize that they will not find us here. I need them to give up and go somewhere else, anywhere else, but here.
I hear closer but the steps have stopped. Where are they? Have they left? Did they finally give up?
I look up and see the same darkness as before. My hope starts building up, yes they have left! I search for those twinkling eyes, the eyes that have made my life hell, a beautiful and helpless hell. His lips form a small smile- reassuring me that we are safe.
I hear a click and once again look up.
The lights.
They've been turned on.
Oh no.. no no no no no!
I shake my head and feel Nialls arms wrap around my body, pulling me as close as he can.
"They've found us." He whispers.
