JAIMEE"S STORY PART 3

"Welcome!" said the innkeeper joyfully,

"Please sit down. Would you like some soup?"

"Yes, please," said Piper, "and some crackers."

Lydia sat by the window and stared out. She saw nothing but open space and trees.

"What's wrong?" Piper asked.

"Well, it just seems that you know more about elves than me. I wish you would have told me about you being a spy sooner. I could have been a spy too," Lydia said with a sigh.

"Shhh-shhhh." Piper put her finger to her lips, "Don't talk about spies. The other elves can hear you and they could be spies for the Others."

"But, I want to talk to you," Lydia complained, "Are you sure there is no other place we can go to talk?"

BAM. BAM. BAM.

"Open Up!"

Someone was pounding on the door.
"They're here! Let's go out the back!" Piper ran to the door but it was locked.

They were trapped.

"What in the world are we going to do?" Lydia was panicked.

"Psssst! In here!" It was the innkeeper with a secret door open in the floor.

All three of them jumped in just as they heard the front door breaking.
