THUNDER RUMBLED OVER the valleys of the country. The pitter patter of rain against the window echoed through the room and every once in a while there was a single flash of lightening. Eliza sat beside Edmund, while he laid under a table, carving his name into the dark wood.

"Gastrovascular" Susan spoke, looking up from the book, "Come on Peter, Gastrovascular!".

"Well is it Latin?" Peter asked, obviously fed up with this so called 'game'. Eliza had managed to opt out of Susan's god awful idea of fun, as she read her own book.

"Yes." Susan answered, taking the game completely seriously even though it bored the living hell out of the rest of them.

"Is it Latin for, worst game ever invented?" Edmund questioned sitting up from his position, Peter and Eliza chuckled at Susan's face falling slightly as she slammed the book closed.

"W-we could play hide and seek?" Lucy suggested, getting up from her seat at the window, and walking towards her siblings.

"Oh, but we're already having so much fun!" Peter replied her voice dripping with sarcasm as he looked up at his little sister.

"C'mon Peter, please?!" Lucy begged, tugging on his arm, "please?". Peter sighed loudly, reluctant to disappoint his little sister.

"One...Two...Three" Peter began counting with a grin, as Lucy jumped up in excitement, making Edmund grumble in complaint.

"C'mon Ed," Eliza encouraged the boy, "It's better than listening to Susan read out words from a dictionary." Edmund placed the tool he was using to carve, down on the table, as all the siblings ran off in different directions to hide.

Eliza ran through the halls, passing Susan jumping inside a box. The girl turned a corner to another unexplored hallway, looking for any place she could hide and win the game. Eliza passed her siblings bedrooms and turned another corner only to spot a small door that probably led to a storage room. She twisted the door knob, and crawled into the small room, which was filled to the brim with boxes and other knick knacks. The whole room was covered in layers upon layers of dust, Eliza shifted some boxes so there was room for her to sit and now all the girl had to do now was sit silently in the dark and wait to be found.

AFTER ANOTHER FEW minutes of hiding, Eliza heard voices down the hall. Thinking she was the last one to be found, she crawled out of her dusty hiding spot and retraced her steps to where the voices were coming from. She turned the final corner and saw a very disgruntled Edmund, standing beside Lucy who looked very confused, Susan stood beside Peter looking quite happy.
