'Wanna play hide I seek?' Tanith grins.

Valkyrie looked up from her magazine and around the room, everyone was bored. 'Sure'

'I'll play, as long as I'm not counting' Fletcher says eagerly , 'There's nothing better to do.'

'Yay' Tanith squeals walking over to Skulduggery and whipping a book out of his hands. 'Skulduggery you gonna play?'

He looks up at her quizzically, 'And why would I do that?'

She smirks,' Because your book is now my hostage, also everyone else is playing and you'll be lonely.'

Ghastly looks up in surprise, 'I don't remember agreeing to this.'

'Of course you are! You don't want to seem old and grumpy like skul do you?'

Ghastly laughs, and skulduggery just sighs.

'Please, it'll be fun!' Valkyrie says pointing an accusing finger at him,'And your just as bored as the rest of us.'

He sighs again, 'Fine, but I'm not being it.' When he sees Valkyries approving grin his non-existent stomach flipped.

'Yay', Tanith squeals again. 'I'll be it, I'm only counting to 50 though; One …two…three…'

Everyone scatters out the room, Valkyrie rushes up the stairs and into the spare bedroom. Once she reaches a mirror tucked away in the corner she pulls it away to reveal a closet door behind. Swinging the door open she squashes herself inside, making sure the door clicks behind her. She strokes her hand along the wall looking for the light switch but can't find it, so she sits as far against the back as possible; though there wasn't much room at all.

Suddenly she hears footsteps coming into the room and over to the closet.

'Crud', she thinks, 'I didn't put the mirror back' she holds her breathe waiting for Tanith to swing open the door and shout' Found you!' But the door opened quietly and whoever it was shuffled in.

'Um, Excuse me.' She says squinting in the dark, trying to see. 'I was here first get your own hiding place'.

The figure jumps slightly at her voice, but then says calmly, 'Yes, well, now I'm sharing it.'

She can recognise that velvety voice anywhere, and sighs.'Skul there is clearly not enough room in here for the both of us', then she blushes, thankful it was too dark for him to see.

He's stood very close, with both hands against the wall above her head, looking down to where her voice was coming from. 'Well then you stand up and there'll be more room'

'No,' she says stubbornly looking up, trying to make out the shape of his head in the dark, but to no avail. 'I was here first.'

'Val, it's your fault, I'm playing this silly game, and therefore it's your fault I'm in here. Now be quiet, else Tanith will find us.' Skulduggery whispers, moving and sitting down against the door; there really wasn't room for the two of them, so his bent legs pressed next to hers.

'I don't care if she finds us' She says half-hearted, again blushing at how close he was, her heart going faster than usual; she swallows, 'Besides I was here first.'

Skulduggery tilts his head in a smile, and then realises she couldn't see it, 'But I'm the bigger person here, and the better looking, therefore I need more room'

Valkyrie laughs and punches him in the shoulder, 'I'm the cute one though.'

Skulduggery flicks her in the head, 'Yeah well we all know who where's the nicest suits'

Meanwhile, Tanith walks up the stairs and hears talking coming from the spare bedroom, she smiles to herself and walkes into the room, finding a closet that would normally have been hidden by a mirror. She hears Valkyrie and Skulduggery laughing, and then she spots the key in the door. Grinning mischievously, she turns it with a soft click pulling it out and putting it on the dresser, locking them in. She then walks out of the room giggling to herself.
