"Hey" after a pause continued" Wake up". Grace rouse her head and looked into the face of her elder sister
Alicia, her hands akimbo. She had just graduated from high school. Her eyes were a bit round and blue, skin complexion was pale and her hair was down to here elbow and it's colour fading brown which boosted up her beauty. "What did you do with the wallpaper?" Alicia asked a bit politely
"Umm... Nothing, we didnt do anything it was like that from the beginning" Grace answered with a fake smile so that her sister couldnt guess it was a lie but her smile in the contrary was indicating she wasnt telling the truth.
"I know you are lieing now tell me the truth" Alicia aggresively added.
Grace knew it was no use lieing so this time she had to eat a humble pie
"Oh okay. But promise you wont tell mum" Grace said pleadingly
"But if it's a trick of yours dont expect any sympathy from me"
"No, no it's not what you think. You think that we are playing a trick on you? Comeon sis, why would we do that?"
"Okay then show me your purpose of tearing this up"
Grace stood from her chair and proceded forward towards the wallpaper and Alicia followed her lead. Grace pointed her finger to the tear
"Look a bit more closely, just pull the wallpaper aside" Grace commanded the wallpaper was still blocking the view of the door.
She did as was told and she was definately more astonished than Grace was when she first saw. "Oh my.... but how is this possible" Alicia continued"Is this a secret portal to any other dimension maybe that's why they kept it locked". They both laughed. Alicia was curious as well to know about what was inside the door and she asked" Hey... did you guys checked what's inside it?".
"Nope. But actually we tried to open up the door and no matter how much efforts we put this door wont even move an inch" Grace said in a sad tone. "Okay we will check it after a while cause three heads are better than two" Alicia giggled followed by Grace's laugh.
She sure knows how to cheer us up!

"What's in the supper Al?" said Grace while they walked down the stairs.
"Actually mum ordered supper. Cause you know it was not possible to prepare something because the groceries were finished and mum was tired" answered Alicia while they walked down the last staircase.
"Yep. Cant criticise mum, we all are terribly tired".
They walked into a broad yet short alley, where there were old pictures on the wall, of a family and anyone could guess they were quite old pictures because they were in black an white. On the end of the alley was a door which led into the kitchen. Grace opened up the door, Stacey was near the microwave, was probably heating up dinner and Mrs. Jay was setting up the table which was at the middle of the kitchen. Kitchen was not that huge and the dark paint gave a cold look. The kitchen for sure wasnt welcoming, there was a big window which held a beautiful frame around itself, two chairs were at the corner with a small table, a long kitchen counter, a few cupboards above the counter and a short counter at the side which had mostly drawers and a rectangular table in middle. And all around the table was nothing and it gave a sense of emptiness.
"Where is dad mum?" Grace asked confusingly. Mr. Jay arrived home at 5 o'clock usually but today he took an off so it kind of got Garce worried.
"Um..."Mrs.Jay continued as she placed plates"He actually went out with Jayden and Lu, in order to get some groceries".
"Oh now I see" said Grace. They all put the packed food on the table, Mrs. Jay went to the counter to pick her mobile phone and call Mr. Jay." Hello" said Mrs. Jay
" Yeah" replied Mr. Jay.
"Well... I was getting worried actually, you guys were getting quite late".
"We are at the front door, we are just getting the stuff out of the car".
"Oh okay" and she ended the phone call. She ran to look out of the huge window.
