Ari ran as fast as she could until her legs gave out at the top of a set stairs. That's when Ari realized how safe and cozy the house felt inside. The walls were a soft tan and the floors soft, clean, white carpet. There were two doors at the end of the hall. One had Nina's name on it. Ari pressed her ear against the door only to hear a young boy and Nina giggling. The boy stopped laughing suddenly. "Whats wrong?" asked Nina. "I hear someone outside the door," he said. The door swung open and Ari stumbled inside, falling face first onto the warm carpet. "Nina do you know this girl?" the boy asked with an irritated voice. "Oh! Ari meet Sebastian. Sebastian meet Ari, my sister." "Nina I don't trust this boy. Let's go home," Ari whispered grabbing Nina, attempting an escape. "No! Nina wait!" yelled Sebastian desperately. "Please don't leave me alone again..." he said, on the verge of crying. "Ari..." said Nina. "Yes?" Ari replied quickly. Nina used her free hand to loosen Ari's grip, and removed her hand from hers. "I'm staying."
