Under The Stairs#15

Miss Hannah Steven

  Olive moaned. "Urgh, what should we do now? If these keep going on, school securities will eventually find us, and we'll get...a harsh punishment for sure!"

  "Why just we go inside right now? Our purpose to go here is to figure out about rumor, don't you remember? If we give up right now, we will not achieve it and this adventure will be useless! Let's just go inside, quickly!" Lucas shouted desperately as he took the door nub roughly.

  "But Lucas..." Olive hesitated, but Lucas interrupted her.

  "Please guys...! If we don't do anything right now, we'll just get scolded badly and we might get harsh penalties! It's not what we wanted!" Lucas pleaded at his friends.

  At his pleading, Olive and Daniel finally agreed to his opinion and Lucas quickly opened the door. The view that opened in front of them was a little room enough for a human to live. It was just like one-room house, and it was clean as if someone had used it very recently, or even now. There was sleeping bag, foods, KitKat boxes. It was just enough for a human to really stay there.

  "It's really..." Olive whispered, surprised by the unexpected place. She went inside and looked around. As she looked around, she accidentally stepped on the sleeping bag, and fell to the ground with a shout.

  "Are you okay, Olive?" Daniel hurried over to her and helped her stand up.

  "Ouch, I think I stepped on something..." Olive mumbled and looked at the sleeping bag again and gasped. "Who...Who is...Someone is inside there!!" She hurried toward the door shivering in fear with tears in her eyes. Daniel and Lucas took a step back. "Who...are you...?"

  The sleeping bag moved around, and a woman appeared. She had a long brown curly hair, deep brown eyes with little freckles on her cheek. She was wearing her pajamas on, and her face was white as if she was shocked.

  "Who...are you...?" She asked back with shaking voice.

  "Miss... Hannah Steven?" Olive shouted. The woman looked at her too. "You...guys are my dad's students, right?"

  Daniel and Lucas stared at the woman. They looked shocked. "Your dad...? You mean Professor Steven?!"

  The woman nodded. "Yeah, he's, my dad! But why are you guys here? And what is that sound... Oh my goodness, you guys are in danger! My dad will come here soon, including our school securities! You must go away!" She said and waved toward the door.

  Lucas shook his head. "I know we will be punished. But we need to figure this out, quickly! We came here to figure out the truth about the rumor that Professor Steven's daughter is locked up underground and is treating her daughter poorly. If we don't, he will lose his fame and maybe his job! This is a serious problem, and right now...! You are really here! Why are you here, seriously? Did Professor Steven lock you here?" Lucas asked quickly. He looked so desperate that Miss Hannah looked at them and laughed.

  "Oh, god. You guys came here just because of that? Haha, how did you guys come here? It is really hard for just little students to unlock it!" She laughed. "Well, that rumor may be true! I am really staying here!"

  "Wha... What?!" They all shouted.

  "Yeah, I am really staying here! My dad knows that too!" Miss Hannah said, smiling at the faces of surprised, shocked, and puzzled look in front of her.
