There must be some other way out!

Vivianne knew she had one minute at best before she's discovered. She shook her head to bring some clarity to her mind and looked around.

She realized was quite close to the entrance to the Chamber of Dread. For a second, she seriously considered going back down there; but the option probably wasn't as desirable as it would seem. "Agatha's teasing would be insufferable, if she finds out I lost my skirt like that!" Vivianne thought.

She could vividly imagine what the chubby girl would say. "Oh, but Viv, you didn't lose your skirt on purpose, or did you? Well, not only you're the blushing type, you also find pleasure in being embarrassed, methinks. Those pink panties are extremely cute though, did you know that? I bet you did, that's why you're showing them. But you really ought to show them more often, girl!" Or something like that. Vivianne could almost see Agatha's face, smiling tauntingly.

No, going back down is out of question. Vivianne decided she'd rather face the crowd. Maybe she could put on a poker face and simply go and push through the group of visitors towards the exit. Then she can wait outside until they're gone.

If the girl's body wasn't betraying her, it would be possible; but Viv felt she's redder than ever, and her embarrassed smile and downcast stare would also give her away and draw people's attention to her incomplete attire. And what if someone accidentally touches her? She sighed in desperation.

Finally, she made one last hopeless attempt and looked around once more; and a miracle happened! Behind two wax sculptures standing next to each other she noticed a small fire-exit door!
