A gruff voice barked, making Aster nearly jump out of their fur. "Hide!" They quickly hissed to Ripple as the knocking pursued.

I yelp and dive behind the chair. It is a thin chair, and doesn't even cover my form. No good. I leap up again and search around for somewhere to hide. The room doesn't have many places to hide. The wardrobe and the bed seem to be my best options. Scrambling to the wardrobe, it is locked or jammed so I give up instantly and dive for under the bed. After a mad struggle I manage to squeeze under and tuck my legs in.
