Adeline's POV

I sat up from my bed, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. I hadn't managed to close my eyes last night, so a mid-day nap, sounded like a wonderful treat. I looked over at the small alarm clock beside the bed, the time flashing brightly in red lights.

1: 23pm...

As I slithered out of bed, I noticed small dark circles around my tired eyes in the mirror balanced on the wall. I hadn't bothered to get dressed from the towel I wore before. I simply slipped into my thin silk nightgown.

I noticed footsteps come from down the hall as I rummaged through my clothes. I looked up at the door for a second as I swear they stopped right outside my door, but tried not to think too much about it.

I'm sure whoever it was had moved on. 

As I began to slip the silky dress off my thin shoulders, I get a bad feeling. I pause, holding the dress just under my bellybutton. Again, I pass it off.

Suddenly, the door handle began turning and I froze, my eyes immediately darting up. As Five appeared in my now open doorway, Klaus mumbling something behind him, I through my dress back over my exposed chest, praying they hadn't seen anything.

"Hey!" I yell in frustration at their lack of knocking

"Oh... Sorry, Adeline" Five says, his tone not too sincere

Both of them merely look me up and down with wide eyes as I fling the strap across my shoulder again "Have you tried knocking?!" I scold, folding my arms 

"Uh-... That was-... That was Five's fault" Klaus was quick to blame, pointing down at the boy in front of him

"Adeline!" Five says, an extremely serious tone "I need your help" He utters

"Ok well, can you get out so I can get dressed first?" I raise an eyebrow, my arms still folded across my chest

"No need" Klaus playfully jokes, a smug look plastered across his face, Five simply turns and raises an eyebrow at his devilish brother

"No, come with me first. Your clothes won't do" He pauses in thought, looking me up and down as he plans "Come, we will raid Allisons closet" He utters before turning, pushing passed Klaus

I go to follow him, Klaus waiting in the doorway for me with wide eyes and a grin. I walk passed him to follow Five down the hall. He quickly jogs to catch up with me "So, you really like walking around this house with-" He pauses, looking at me, a small smirk forming "Not much on, don't you?" 

I frown at him. A glare that could kill "Shut up. I was getting dressed before you two barged in" I retort

As We round the corner to Allisons room, Five stops, knocking politely on the door and turning to me with a smug look

"Yeah?" Allison calls from the other side

Five reaches for the door handle, letting us all in. As Allison gaze meets mine she shutters slightly. A moment only I seemed to have picked up on. 

"How can I help you three?" She ask, her eyes finally pulling away from mine

"We need a favour" Five begins, speaking with intelligence as he puts his words together "I need something more... elegant for Adeline to wear" 

I frown at the young looking boy in front of me as Klaus playfully bumps my shoulder "He didn't approve of my choice of clothes either" 

I smirk at him and avert my gaze back to Allison and Five "Uh sure, whys that?" She asks as she dodges around Five, walking to her closet.
