The scrape of the lock sets off quick scurrying as a little girl dives under the covers and curls up. The trembling sets in but soon confusion rises in her as she hears muffled yelling and scratching. The door slams open and squeals pierce through the room filling every corner. Gruff words precede the door slamming shut and quiet whimpers replace the noise from before.
The young girl stands near the door trying to open it to no avail and finally exhausted she turns to stare at the new room. Her eyes skim past a twin bed to a small table before her head jerks back to the bed. The girl tilts her head to the side finally discerning the bed shaking coming from the bundle under the covers. She hesitates looking back at the door and giving a last tug hoping that it would magically open this time.
Turning back to the room she tiptoes over to the bed standing still and quiet. The girl waits watching the blanket move slowly from trembling to a calm up and down movement. Giving into her growing curiosity a hand reaches out placing itself gently on the moving lump. The blanket seems to burst alive from the light touch. She jerks her hand back to her chest her eyes widening as the blanket scrunches up. Brown eyes peer up at her from a little opening that formed.
A soft "Oh" leaves the standing girl, "H-hi?" The brown-eyed girl goes back to trembling and ducks her head down hiding again.
"No don't be scared! It's ok?" A small pale hand reaches out again and grabs the edge of the blanket slowly edging it off to the side revealing the small brown haired girl. "Why are you hiding? Do you live here?"
She nudges at a tan knee climbing up on the bed to sit next to the only other person in the frightening room. The tan girl slowly uncurls staring at the blonde girl sitting close to her. She ignores the other girls question her eyes traveling down to the new girls knee.
"What happened to you knee?" The knee in question gets pulled up to the little girl's chest cradled in her hands.
"I felled of my bike, It really hurt and," her voice trembles, "h-he said he was gonna help me get home. I can't peddle so good with my knee hurting." She points to the big bruise surrounding the bloody skin.
"But then he took me here" Her breathing speed up, "How do we get out? I have to go home!" The blonde girls breath hitches as she stares at the serious brown eyes before her. The other girl looks at her forlornly, "You can't. This is home now."
