Hide and seek

"I'm very happy to be here with the king and queen I just hope your relationshipis going well" jules said with a smirk on his face intensly staring at william

"Well everything is fine matter of fact it's perfect or like you say it, it's "parfait"" William said with a smirk on his face

The tea party was tensed...very tensed and awkward no one knew what to say and when to say it everyone felt the awkwardness in the air and Josephine immediately regretted this tea party finally to relax the tense atmosphere monsieur Jules organized a game; the beast of Gévaudan .

The Beast of Gévaudan is the nickname of one or more canines who committed attacks against humans in France between June 30, 1764 and June 19, 1767.

So the game is basically like hide and seek only that those who hide are like the villagers trying to run from the beast and the seeker is the beast....

"Once I find you, you can run but once I catch you, I kill you....and I really mean it, the game will last a whole hour, you have ten minutes to hide then i'll start looking for you. Until the one hour are over everything is allowed let's just hope i don't catch any of you because if I do you are as good as dead. Either you kill or you are killed...what do you say" Jules said smirking

Everyone looked at the queen for she was the host of the tea party, her husband signsled her yo say no but since she didn't want her tea party to be a flop she said yes... "After all Jules can't actually kill someone I mean it's just a game and his children are here too" she said to herself

"What is mom thinking does she really think jules is not capable of doing that" Gabriel said to himself

Soon enough the game started;

"You have 10mins to hide I put the countdown on my watch...your countdown starts...NOW!!" As soon as jules set the countdown everyone started runing (note that the women changed they weren't wearing their dresses and that jules asked charlie to join the game)..Emiliene Genevive and their mother olivia ran together, Josephine and Williams were together and Herman, Charlie and Gabriel ran separately. They met in the kitchen....

"I did everything you asked me gabriel i hope you know what you are doing" said Herman

"Charlie you know every single place of this house wich means we can move with the lights off"

"Won't that be weird to off the light it'll seem more suspicious" charlie said thinking

"Yes but before starting the game jules made sure that every lights were turned off we must be able to move in the dark so for that we'll hold each others hand and stay silent, charlie will lead us" garbriel said turning the ligjts off

Herman tried to hold Charlie's hand but gabriel got between them...

On the other hand williams suggested that they hide in the dark cellar...

"Hmmm if we hide there and jules comes in it'll be too difficult for us to escape him considering the fact that there is only one entry and exit"

"I see but I'm not that dumb when you brought herman home i was so angry that a little dispute pushed you to get engaged that I wanted to get rid of him so i build a little trap house in the cellar that led directly to my room and from my room we can move to to an underground facility where i keep all my tort- I mean all my stuffs"

"Hmmm let's follow your plan i wanna see all you "stuffs""

Minewhile Emiliene and the others decided that fighting the beast is better that running away from it so they elaborated a plan after all it wasn't their first time playing the game so they are as chicky as ever...

********

The ten minutes have now passed and it's time for the beast to hunt it's prey.
