They weren't quite the ocean views that she had from her bedroom at home but they were certainly quite stunning anyway.
She was walking down the corridors exploring by herself for once. She had wanted Tabitha to join her but that meant walking all the way down to the dungeons to meet her. She decided she would collect her on the way instead. She was minding her own business when a loud voice belonging to a little girl came booming down the corridor. She jumped, alarmed by the sudden outburst.
“I don't think it's a secret anymore” she giggled timidly. Now everyone in a few floors radius knew there was a passage here. Ruby wasn't that bothered by finding passages, she wanted to stay where it was safe and people could find her if anything went wrong.
Noelle was inching down the corridor, eager to find out where it lead when she heard a voice behind her. AH! She almost collided with the wall as she turned to see who was talking to her. She clutched her chest. "
Mercy!! You scared me!! " She stated and breathed a little faster.
And it was totally still a secret because.... PULL. Noelle pulled the girl into the passage. She put a finger to her lip and looked out to see if anyone else had noticed her yelling. "
Do you think anyone else knows?" She asked whispering this time. She looked back at the girl to get her answer.
Wait, she was being rude. This wasnt her little brother who she could bring with to any adventure she wanted to go on. This was a... stranger. But a stranger was just a friend who havent met yet. "
Oh! Im Noelle by the way. Noelle Grace Summers. " Noelle said and blushed.
"
Do you... do you wanna go down the secret passage with me??" She asked hopefully. She was already peeking down the dark space. She needed a light.... There was probably a lantern around here somewhere.
