Sabrina was actually in the White House. She had gotten in! The Queen of Sneaks strikes again. Sabrina thought. She crouched under a table as the FBI officers walked out of the White House. Once they were gone, Sabrina crept out from under the table. Now, which way? The White House was huge…
Sabrina froze when she heard guards talking. From what she knew from the tour, they sounded like they were either in the state dining room or the family room. Sabrina couldn't remember which one was where.
"The kids with wings is upstairs? Right?"
"Yup."
"So, once we catch him, what are we doing?"
"Harvard has asked to do a study on him. President Manton said yes."
"Sweet. You think there's more winged people out there?"
"Well, he can't be the only one…"
The voices faded and Sabrina was once again alone.

Puck sat on the ground, his back against Maple's door. The young girl was snoring very loud. Puck finally understood what it was like for Sabrina. She was stuck in a room with Daphne 24/7. Amazingly, Daphne was still the worst snorer he knew. And Maple was bad.
Puck groaned. His legs were cramping. He had been stuck in the same room for like…forever. He stood up, but then realized he couldn't see anything. He put one hand out in front of him. Sadly, his hand crashed into Maple's bed side table. A doll crashed to the ground, making a loud thump. Really? Puck thought. Now?
Startled, Maple sat up in bed and switched the light on. Her eyes widened when she saw Puck standing in front of her. The elven year old was about to scream but Puck jumped up and clasped his hand over her mouth. "Please. I won't hurt you. Don't scream."
Maple grabbed Puck's hands and pulled them off of her mouth. "Are you a fairy?" she blurted out.
Blunt much? Puck thought. Should he lie? But looking at the girl's innocent little face, she blurted out the truth. Yes, he was a fairy.
Maple smiled. "Daddy said he wanted to experiment on you, but I tried to make his change his mind."
Puck raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
Maple nodded. "Yeah! I love fairies! Have you seen that one Tinkerbelle movie where she meets the human and they keep a secret from the girl's father?"
Puck shook his head. "He hated Tinkerbelle just as much as he hated Peter Pan.
"No matter." Maple said. "But, Mr. Fairy, what are you doing in my room?"
Puck let out a tremendous sigh. "Trying to get out."
"Why'd you come back in anyway?"
"To get this." Puck pulled out the security footage.
"Oh. Well, I can help you get out."
"You can?" Puck practically shrieked.
Maple smiled. "yeah, but we're going to need my sister's help."
"Your sister?"
Maple got out of bed. "Yeah. You know, my sister Savannah?"
Puck thought for a second. He did actually recall seeing Savannah Manton on TV before. She was the other first daughter. She was thirteen and Puck hated to admit, she was really pretty. She looked an awful lot like her little sister. Of course, Sabrina was prettier…
Maple shoved some boots onto her feet. "Do you have any other powers?"
"I can turn into animals." Puck answered.
"Can I see!?" They younger girls cried.
Puck shook his head. "If I could've, I'd have transformed into a fly and flown out hours ago. Sadly, fairies rely on energy to use their powers."
Maple's face fell. "I don't think there's any way we can sneak you in the kitchen."
"Can we just get your sister?"
Maple nodded. "Stay in here. There are guards everywhere outside."

Maple stepped out into the hallway. Immediately, all the guards turned towards her. They relaxed when they realized it was just her.
David, one of the big burly officers smiled at the young girl. "Miss Maple, what are you doing out of bed?"
Maple pretended to sniffle. "I had a nightmare…"
"Are you going to your parents?" David asked.
Maple shook her head. "I want Savannah."
"Ok." David smiled again. "Sweet dreams."
"I hope." Maple whispered to him. She slowly pushed open the door to her sister's room. Once inside, Maple shut the door and flipped on the lights. She began to violently shake her sister awake.
"What?" Came Savannah's muffled voice. She sat up in bed and rubbed her eyes. "What do you want, Maple?"
Maple couldn't help but grin. "You know that winged boy?"
"The one that dad wants to experiment on?" Savannah asked angrily. Just like her younger sister, she didn't believe in harming anything, ever.
Maple smiled. "He's in my room. We need to help him get out of here!"
Savannah ran a hand through her brown locks. "No joke? He's in you room?"
Maple nodded. "You in?"
"Duh." Savannah grabbed her lip gloss. "He was hawt!"

Sabrina was utterly confused. She had no idea what to do. Puck was all the way upstairs, and she was stuck on the first floor. And there were guards everywhere. She had no idea where to go. Maybe she could create a diversion? True, it was cliché, but it always worked on TV. She fished her phone out of her pocket. Using the light from her cell as a flashlight, Sabrina glanced around. Spotting a vase, she slammed it down on the ground. Then, she ran into the East room, as far away as she could get from the vase. She could hear footsteps thudding down the stairs.
"How did he get downstairs?"
"This is not good!"
"Look, a vase!"
Meanwhile, Sabrina was backed up against a wall in the east room. She used her phone to shine a light throughout the room. It was beautiful. The East room had always reminded Sabrina of a ballroom. It had wooden floors and a huge chandelier up above. Plus, the room was totally empty. Perfect for dancing back in the Middle Ages.
Peeking out into the hall, Sabrina realized that everyone was crowded around the vase. Some of the officers were investigating the Red room, Family room, and State Conference room. Those three room were the closest to the vase Sabrina had broken, so it would only make sense that the culprit would escape into those rooms. This gave Sabrina a chance to run up the grand stairs.
