Today create two characters that have conflicting goals and put them into an old abandoned castle on a rainy day. Before they are allowed to leave the castle, they must work together to find a stolen gem.

What a great prompt! I free wrote for 10 minutes on it. Here are the results. Nothing spectacular but the process was fun nonetheless. Thank you for the opportunity.
I peeked around the corner of the entryway. The stone slab cold against my face. I pulled back quickly as I saw Camilla emerge from a door not 100 feet from my hiding place. “What?” I thought to myself. “How did she get here first?” I was outraged. Silently pounding my fist against the granite I took a deep breath and glanced around again. She was out of sight. I scurried across the hallway to the room she had come from.
A tattered purple cloth hung limply across one corner of the room, sectioning it off from view. Ducking under it I quickly took stock of the space. Certainly not where I would have stored a priceless gem. I ran my hand across the stones, searching for a crevice or crack to indicate a hidden chamber. My figures grasped the correct stone and pulled it away, only to reveal what I had suspected...that Camilla had already found the gem. I dropped the stone, immediately regretting the clatter it made.
I jumped to my feet and fled the room. I took a quick right upon exiting the room and sped up a narrow staircase. I reached a mezzanine level from which I could observe the floor below.
It took a moment to catch my breath but soon I was able to hear the rain against the worn walls of the castle. As I listened Camilla scrambled across the floor below.
This is great Kate! The point of writing prompts is not to come up with award winning writing but to actually get down to the business of writing. Thanks so much for sharing! I really enjoyed reading your writing. :)
