7. I must never spy on Erik when he is bathing.
"Alright, since I know that I now cannot trust anyone," Erik looked pointedly at Haley, "I am locking you in here while I take a bath. I will be back in fifteen minutes. Don't. Move." He walked out the door, and we all heard the click of the lock.
"I hope he realizes that I'm able to pick any lock," Cati said.
"Well, then go work your magic! We only have fifteen minutes." Rachel replied. Cati nodded and took out a hairpin. "I learned this from my brother." I couldn't see exactly what she was doing, but after a few moments I heard another click, and the door swung open.
"After me," I said with a bow.
"Simone, you are so weird. But that's why you're the boss!" Haley told me with a smile. I smiled back. "Well come on people, we're wasting time!" I walked out the door, down the hallway, and stopped right behind the front door. I heard the most beautiful singing I've ever heard.
"Erik," we all whispered. I slowly creaked open the door, and saw the back of Erik's head. I heard a sigh behind me. I turned, holding a finger up to my mouth, in a signal to be quiet. I walked out, and ran as quickly as I could, without making much noise, to one of the rocks by the shore. I made another signal, telling them to follow my lead. It was going well, until it was Rachel's turn. Halfway there, Erik decided it was time to get out. He was almost all the way out of the water, but stopped when he saw Rachel standing there.
To this day, I'm still not sure what happened. One moment, Rachel was standing there, frozen with terror. Next, she was lying on the ground dead. We think she died of shock of seeing Erik's, ahem, organ, but we cannot be sure.
Weeeeee! Another update! Hope you like it! :)
