MY PET
Veronica successfully hid behind the curtains without anyone's notice. The nervousness in her heart began to fade away. She became more courageous and bolder. She peeked out of the curtain and decided to hide underneath the throne. No soldiers would look for her there and she would be safe.
Just as she planned, she used nearby statues as covers and jumped from one place to another. Unknown to her, someone spotted her tiny body and her bold moves. That person squinted their eyebrows.
Veronica was now standing behind a statue that was before the stairs. There were seven stairs and then her goal awaited her. The throne.
There was a statue in every other stair. She reached the highest stair by jumping from behind one statue to another. 'Yes! I've almost reached it. This is so easy. I will just need to jump only once and then I will reach there. You can do this Ver!' She gave herself some encouragement and was fully ready for her last jump.
