What was she going to do? Pretend to be a portrait?
He slowed his pace and watched from a distance.
.........
"I wonder where Destiny is...?" he said out loud in a thoughtful tone. "And I wonder if she knows that all the portraits in here move...?"
Because Destiny was standing very still against a portrait of a girl that he was pretty sure was attempting to kick her head. He was wondering if hearing him say that if she'll start moving and acting like a portrait.
If she did it would be worth not having his badge for another five minutes.
And.. she had picked the worst place ever to hide. Not only were all the portraits looking at her, the one she was leaning up against.. the girl in it was trying to kick her! Right in the head! Destiny kept glancing at her through the corner of her eye, trying to give her her best 'If you don't stop trying to kick me, I'm going to set you ablaze' look.
Evelyn would have been proud if she had known her thoughts.
But, the girl in the portrait didn't stop. Instead, she decided to yell quite a few bad words, only causing Destiny to move out of her pose and clap her hands over her ears. Her mother told her that if she listened to those words, her ears would fall off. And she kind of needed them.
She couldn't help but hear the sound of Carter's voice, though, it was so loud and obnoxious, and.. she was a horrible portrait! She was in a corridor full of
moving pictures, she needed to MOVE! And that was what she was going to do.
Removing her hands from her ears, she began bending down, pretending to pick a few flowers. She didn't even care that there were absolutely no flowers in the portrait
to pick.. it got the girl she was standing in front to stop trying to kick her.
