CHAPTER SIX
Blindfold Hide & Seek
After school, it was time to put their plan into effect. Rose and Klaun started their plan by going to the bus station. "Alright, we're here." Said Rose. "Now we just need to know where the schedule is."
"There it is!" said Klaun, pointing to a poster on the wall. "We just need to find a bus going as far away possible that's going in the next few hours." They started searching, and they found the perfect bus.
"It goes in a few hours to city miles and miles away, it's perfect!" said Klaun. "Now we just have to get Alof over here to get the bus."
So they went back home, and called Count Alof the second they went in. "Count Alof! Moony wants to play a game!"
Count Alof came to the hall from the kitchen. "A game? That sounds nice. What game does she want to play?"
"She wants to play…" said Rose, taking out a blindfold from her pocket. "Blindfold Hide & Seek."
"I can't say I heard of that game." Said Alof. "How do you play it?"
"It's like normal Hide & Seek, only the people hiding have to wear blindfolds, so they can't see the seekers coming near them." Said Klaun.
"Well, that sounds fun!" Said Alof. "Who's going to be hiding?"
"You, Klaun, and Moony." Said Rose. "I'll be looking for you."
"Okay." Alof stood still as Klaun and Rose put the blindfold over his eyes. He waited still as they went to get Moony.
"Alright, Alof," said Rose. "Klaun and Moony will help you get to a hiding place, I'll stay here and count to 100." She whispered, "Go" to Klaun and he walked with Count Alof, out the open front door and on their way to the bus station, without Alof knowing."
"Why, it's very breezy, around the house, isn't it?" said Alof.
"No, we're not inside the house, we're hiding… in the back garden!" said Klaun.
"Ooh, yes. She'll never find us there." Said Alof. "Do you two have you blindfolds with you?"
"Of course!" Klaun lied. "We'll put them on when we're at the hiding place."
"Well the, why don't I put mine off too, till then?"
"NO! You need them on." Klaun hurried Alof over to the bus station. He saw the bus they were looking for. "We're almost there. Alof, just stand there for a while, don't do anything, okay?"
"Alright." Said Alof. Klaun went over to the ticket office and bought one ticket for the bus. Then he went over to Alof and walked him into the bus and sat him down on a chair.
"What's this chair doing here?" said Alof.
"We're in the old shed, there's a nice chair here, now keep quiet, or Rose will find us." Klaun walked backwards, holding Moony, and ran out of the bus, he could still see Alof, sitting happily, with his blindfold on, not knowing about the journey he was about to go on. Even better, Klaun saw Alof falling asleep, which increased their chances of success.
The bus doors closed, and it sped off down the road, Alof on. The plan worked. Alof was gone. Klaun and Moony hurried home, to see Rose at the front door, smiling happily when she saw Klaun nodding. "Did it work?" she asked. "Is he on the bus?"
Klaun smiled happily. "Yes, he's on the bus." Rose jumped for joy. "He's out of our hair! Gone! Finally!" The children danced and celebrated. Count Alof was ona bus heading miles away, so they can now be free to do whatever they want!
They headed off to do the first thing they wanted to do ever since they were told that their parents died, go into the mysterious attic they used to be banned from.
