When Maddie woke, she had been panicked. It took a few seconds before the night before returned to her memory and she relaxed. The woman laid there with a huge smile on her face as she realized her new situation. She was free but somehow also had food and a roof over her head with little effort. This man hadn't asked her for anything and didn't try to rob her in the night. 

She sat up sharply and poked out her head to see if he was awake. She wanted to surprise him with breakfast if she could, though the woman knew it wouldn't be easy to find her way. As she stepped quietly into the hall, she also scanned for any of the animals that also called the place home. Her hand pressed to the wall when she felt something strange. It was a switch, similar to the one by the front door. Her eyes widened and she looked up to the dark bulb hanging from the ceiling like a beacon. Another glance around didn't reveal the man's presence so she assumed he was in bed or out.

A giggle escaped as the light came on, filling the hallway with the dull yellow light.

It was dark again. Her lips curled up and she tried to contain herself. Tried to anyway.

She finally stopped, pulling her hand back feeling a bit embarrassed but also glad she didn't hold back. She rest a hand on her chest and looked up at the light bulb in excitement. Maddie reminded herself she couldn't keep playing. She stepped down the hall to where she thought she remembered where the kitchen was. Her head glanced into the new room.
