The Plan

Blake fell asleep almost as soon as I left his side.Perfect. I thought,Now to explore where ever I am before he gets up again. I checked one last time to make sure Blake was sleeping, then slipped soundlessly out of the room.
This house was creepy. Gorgeous, but still haunted house creepy. I walked slowly down one hall, gazing at pictures of people I’d never know. As I walked I thought I’d see more people, but I never passed a soul.
At the end of the hall there was a huge, castle style door. There were noises on the other side. As quietly as I could, I snuck up to the door. As I laid my ear agaisnt the door, I heard something I never exected.
There was a deep voice on the other side. Whatever was just said, but it had him laughing. Folowing was another,almost familiar voice saying something about a girl. Where had I heard that voice before? I couldn’t place it. Until I heard his next statement.
“Yes Father, the girl was easy to take. He was asleep; as was she. He’ll come looking for her any time now.”
