"Let us hope we do not get caught." Victor muttered under his breath as he carried Emily on his back as he scaled up the wall to get into Victoria's room.

Emily had her arms tightly around Victor's neck. "Then don't talk, keep climbing."

"It would have been easier if yo-"

"Finish that sentence and I'll have kitty cat have her way with you." Emily growled into his ear threateningly .

Victor visibly gulped at the threat. Oh how he hated that cat so much…

"Now hurry it up, you buffoon!"

Victor rolled his eyes at her before he continued on climbing up the wall. Their main destination just up ahead of them, an open window with a dim light emitting out of it.

.

Victoria shook her head allowing her hair to escape from it's normal hairstyle, oh how she hated having to always put her hair pinned up. Letting out a sigh she fiddled with her nightgown a simple gray pinstriped pattern, just like a lot of her clothing choices chosen by her mother.

'Mother…' Victoria thought bitterly, she picked up a lit candle turning around to head to her bed.

"Victor, stop my underskirt is rising up!"

"Emily stop squirming."

Victoria blinked slowly trying to comprehend what she is hearing. She swore she heard her best friends voices, one of them she swore she wouldn't been able to ever hear again. Tightly gripping the candle, she slowly headed towards the window.

Taking in a deep breath, Victoria poked her head out of the window and what she saw made her blink in total disbelief. "Emily? Victor?"

Emily and Victor looked like total deer in the headlights at being caught.

"Hi…" Victor said lamely.

Emily rolled her eyes, she climbed over Victor and climb threw the window. "Excuse me."

Victoria stepped back and allowed Emily to enter her room with wide eyes. Emily smoothed out her dress and promptly shut the window behind herself. A loud oomph came from outside along with a cry of and a louder oomph.

"Emily…" Victoria whispered pointing out the window.

Emily gave her friend a raised eyebrow, she looked out of the window to see that Victor had landed on a rose bush with a dazed expression. "Don't worry about him. He's fine."
