I just wanted her to leave me alone.

Hopefully the next time she calls her requests will be just as simple.

The children did show up, both the boy and the girl.

They looked around the ages of 7 and 8, and were both dressed in all white.

She had very long black hair, but the boy had short blonde hair.

They looked nothing alike.

As predicted, she did ask me if I wanted to play with them, and I thankfully managed to tell her with my best smile that I would play with her in the morning.

My voice was cheeky, but they seemed to understand me.

However, it didn't stop there, and she continued to persist that I played with her.

I never told her no.

There was a point where I almost did slip up, and I swear to you her childish pout turned into the most disdainful scowl I've ever seen.

Her eyes widened a bit.

There was something about her that practically screamed danger if I didn't think fast enough.

I don't exactly remember our conversation but in the end I managed to convince her that I would play hide and seek with her after breakfast and it seemed to please her.

She bragged about being the best seeker for a bit and finally thanked me before running off.

The boy followed without a word.

And the moment both of them rounded the corner, quietly closed the door.

I didn't even have time to fully turn around before the bathroom light flickered on.

I tripped on one of the beverage cans while scrambling for the bed, which did something to my ankle, unfortunately.

Still hurts like I'll get out.
