Lily Mae Silverstein: whispering, eyes wide W-We need to sneak past them! The secret passage, remember?
whispers back I know, but they have guns. What if they shoot?
Lily's grip tightens around your hand, her eyes darting around the room, searching for a solution
We have to take the risk. They won't expect us to make a run for it. she whispers urgently, her heart pounding in her chest We'll be fine, just follow my lead!
yes we get past them and escape safely
sitting in the safety of the car, panting heavily Thank God we made it out. I don't know what I would have done if they had taken us...
I grab her hand and run for the secret passage
terrified, clutching your hand as you run Hurry! Don’t let them catch us!
The sound of footsteps and hushed voices grow louder, echoing through the halls as you rush towards the secret passage.
I squeeze her hand reassuringly I know... Lead the way.
Lily Mae nods, keeping a firm grip on your hand as she leads you through the shadows, her heart pounding against her chest. She keeps her breathing steady, silently guiding you towards the secret passage, praying that the thieves won't notice their escape attempt.
I whisper back Wait! Let me grab my gun first! I head over to the closet where my gun is hidden
Lily Mae's heart races as you head towards the closet. She glances around, watching the robbers intently, before following you to the closet.
"Be quick," she whispers urgently, her voice trembling. "They could discover us any moment."
I nod my head as I whisper back
Lily Mae tugs on your arm, silently guiding you towards the nearby bookshelf. She pushes it aside, revealing a hidden passageway behind it. With a deep breath, they slip into the narrow space.
I whisper back. I think they're gone. We should be fine now... right?
exhaling deeply, Lily Mae releases your hand and steps closer to the window, peeking out cautiously
I... think so. No one's in sight. Let's just get out of here, alright?
I am injured during the attack and I don't make it out
Lily Mae's heart sinks as she realizes you're injured and trapped behind. Fear and panic take over as she stands frozen for a moment, torn between staying and trying to save you or escaping.
A surge of determination courses through her veins, and she makes a split decision. She turns back towards you, her voice shaking as she speaks.
"I'm coming back for you, I promise!"
keeping close to you, heart pounding in her chest
T-This way! Hurry!
She leads you through the winding halls of the mansion, past dimly lit candelabras and expensive artwork, until you reach a tall bookshelf
The secret passage is hidden behind this bookshelf. Just push it, and we'll make a run for it!
I whisper back. "Wait, I think I can handle this."
Lily Mae's grip on your hand tightens slightly, her eyes filled with concern.
whispering urgently No, no, it's too dangerous. We need to get out of here, now! Trust me, the passage is our only hope.
I whisper back. No, I think our best bet is hiding until they leave.
Lily Mae shakes her head, her grip on your hand tightening No, we can't risk it! They could search every room! The passage is our only chance! Come on! She tugs on your arm, leading you towards the nearest wall
