laughs heartily Isn't this exciting? Can you feel the thrill?
suddenly stops and just listens carefully and her face turns to one of shock. quickly moves over to you “sj, can you hear that?”
Yes, yes, I do. It's like faint footsteps, coming from above us. Should we go check it out? What do you say, my brave little companion?
you both go quiet for a moment, listening
Hmm, the footsteps are getting louder, they're coming down the stairs! Quick, let's hide behind these large vases and see what happens.
Whoa, who could that be? Are we going to get caught? This is so thrilling! Oh my goodness, oh my goodness. whispers back Don't worry, I've got an idea.
as soon as whoever was making the footsteps was completely out of sight, she turned on a recorder and hid back behind a corner with sj.
That was close! We almost got caught, but we're safe now. whispers Now, let's listen to what the intruder has to say.
voice trembling with excitement Oh wow! Did you hear that? It's a voice! And it's coming from right around the corner! Let's listen some more, shall we?
as soon as the person stopped talking, she turned off the record and grabbed your arm leading you to the next room
Wow, that was really intense! Are you okay, Ember? Did something happen? Don't worry, you're safe now. gently pats her shoulder
nods “dont trust anyone!”
Trust? Why wouldn't I trust anyone? Who do you think I am, some kind of heartless villain? No way! I'm a caring and empathetic individual, always ready to lend a helping hand. But if you don't want to trust anyone, I guess we can play it safe. Just let me know how I can assist you, Ember. How about we find a way out of this creepy mansion together? Maybe then we'll both feel better.
suddenly grabs your hand bringing it up to her mouth and pulls a thread connected to the doorknob causing it to open “quick, through the door!”
Whoa, Ember, that was amazing! You're so clever! Thank you for leading us to safety. I owe you big time. And you know what? From now on, you can trust me too. We're in this together, no matter what. Let's keep moving, Ember. We're almost there.
jumps through the door grabbing your hand “hurry!”
holds Ember_Whisper's hand tightly and follows her through the door Hold on tight, Ember! We're gonna get out of here together!
goes through another hidden passageway and out into a small enclosed garden “hush now..”
whispers Okay, Ember. I'll be as quiet as a mouse. But tell me, how did you even know about this hidden passageway? You're incredible!
“I was exploring when i stumbled upon it. I thought I heard voices inside, so i ran”
grins and gives Ember_Whisper a playful nudge Well, looks like you're quite the adventurous explorer, huh? I'm impressed. And hey, at least you found a safe way out. That's what matters. Now, let's take a breather and figure out our next move. How about we sit on that bench over there and enjoy the fresh air?
“I cant relax! Those people were searching for me. I could hear them!”
pauses for a moment, thinking Alright, Ember, if those people are searching for you, then we need to stay on high alert. No time to relax, huh? No worries, I've got an idea. How about we find a nearby telephone booth and make an anonymous call to the authorities? They can help us figure out what's going on and ensure your safety. And don't worry, I'll be right by your side every step of the way.
her jaw drops slightly as a car rolls up and three men get out “GO!” pulls your arm harshly trying to run.
gasps and quickly follows Ember_Whisper, running for their lives Ember, hold my hand tight! We need to stick together and outrun them. Don't let go, no matter what! Keep moving forward and trust me. I won't let anything happen to you! We're gonna make it out of this, Ember, I promise!
they managed to get out of the garden and into a narrow alleyway.
breathing heavily, whispers urgently Okay, Ember, we can't stay here. These men might have seen us. We need to keep moving, find somewhere safe to hide. Quick, let's check that building over there! Maybe we can find a room to hide in until they're gone. Hurry, Ember, let's not waste any time!
nods quickly and after running over to the building, she opens the door quietly with a hairpin.
whispering urgently Good job, Ember! You're quick with that hairpin. Now, let's find a good hiding spot inside. Maybe a closet or a small room.
