Chapter Sixteen

Alina walked carefully on her toes, looking around to check in case some one was coming.

Earlier on, after her father had met her, a note slipped telling her when to go to the secret passage way leading outside. So she had waited till it was time for her to go.

She had known the passageway since she was little, she do go there then when she wanted to be left alone. Since no one knew there except her father, she barely gets disturbed and enjoyed her time alone.

Alina walked through the hallway, holding a small satchel where she kept what she needed for the journey, heading towards a tapestry hung at the far corner of the hall way, as she walked she made sure no one had seen her.

When she got closer to the tapestry, she stopped squinted her eyes looking for something , when she finally saw what she was looking for.

A tiny knob.

She paused, looked around before turning the knob. As she turned the knob, the tapestry made a sight creak.

"Shit"
