* Arriane *
I tried the door, but it's locked. Of course, I already knew that and the hinges makes noise everytime someone opens and closes it. I looked around then saw the ceiling above me. There was an opening, I could go up and jump from the roof there should be no problem if I shift into my wolf form.
Gently, I dragged the chair beneath the opening and climbed, fingers gripping the rough edges of the ceiling hatch. My heart pounded so loudly I feared it would betray me before anything else could.
"Calm down." I whispered to myself. For the first time in my life I am climbing an old dirty ceiling.
I did one breath. Then another. With a final push, I pulled myself up and slipped through the narrow opening. Dust clung to my skin as I crawled across the beams, careful, slow and silent.
