231 INSIDE THE SECRET ROOM

Derek breathed in and out to instill calm inside him as he looked at the door that had been hidden behind the wardrobe.

He knew he would be going inside the secret place to feed his curiosity. Nothing would stop him from that.

He was a bit edgy about it though.

Trapdoors and secret places weren't really his favourite places.

Taking in a deep breath again, he took steps forward until he got to the door.

He tried twisting the knob to open it up, but the metallic orb was stiff, not yielding at all. He tried again, but still got the same result.

He almost gave up, until his eyes caught sight of an opening by top of the door as they ran all over the wooden height.

What is that? He thought, trying to fix his hand into the opening shaped like a hexagon.

A lock! He exclaimed in his mind, them sighed as his elation disappeared at what the answer entailed.

The door needed its lock.

But where would he find the lock?
