The old wooden house, stood there, forgotten among the newer brick apartment buildings that now flanked it, was falling down. It looked lonely, with weeds growing so tall that they almost hid the stairs, and tiny purple wildflowers growing up through the broken slate, that once served as a pathway.
"Welcome to the Hideaway," Kassy announced, gesturing to the old wooden place.
"Ohh, I had some epic games of hide and seek in this place, well, mostly just hiding, there wasn't very much seeking on my father's part, but it was still fun," she said, as she pushed the old wooden door open.
Kay followed Kassy onto the porch and inside, followed by Cameron and Jonathan. Cameron had wanted to come with Kay, so Jonathan tagged along.
Kay stood in the middle of what was probably once a grand entrance, to her right was a curved wooden staircase, now with a few missing and broken steps.
"Okay, Kassy, you have five minutes," Kay said, "Kassy...Kassy, do you hear me," she called up the stairs.
"Yep, I heard you," Kassy said, as she came walking out from behind a bookcase.
Kay jumped, and she turned around, "Where did you come from?"
Kassy just laughed, and she was wearing the biggest grin on her face, "I told you, I played some epic games of hide and seek in this place," she told Kay, as she picked up a light blue duffle bag and swung it over her shoulder.
"Okay, great, got everything, then let's go," Kay said, heading to the door, "Cameron, come on, this place looks like it could collapse any minute."
Cameron wasn't listening through, he was looking at an old picture hanging on the wall.
"Cam," Jonathan questioned, walking over to look at the picture his brother was looking so intently at.
Kay was impatiently waiting by the door, leaning against the wooden door frame, but she straightened up when she noticed the strange look that the two brothers exchanged with each other.
"Um, Kassy, who's in this picture," Jonathan asked.
"Um, my father and his brother," Kassy answered, she walked over and looked at the picture, and smiled, "Yep, that's uncle Sebastian, I only met him once, I think, why?"
"Kassy, that's our father," Jonathan told her.
