Pretend to be asleep when the person comes in

From Create Your Own Story

You decide to take a safer path and curl back up on the futon, quickly closing your eyes and deepening your breathing to feign sleep. You're not a moment too soon - the door opens right after you settle into your spot, and someone enters the room. You listen as they approach you, tensing instinctively in case they attack you.

Then, you hear a sound you don't expect - a soft clink, like glass against wood. Did they...set a bowl down next to you? Food? Water? You sniff silently, and quickly identify the scent from the bowl to be chicken.

The person rises and retreats from the room, closing the door beind them and heading back down the hall. As soon as they're gone, you jump up from your spot and whirl around to see if your theory is correct.

It is. A white glass bowl sits there, full almost to the brim with scraps of chicken. That person...couldn't be bad. Why would they feed you if they were going to hurt you?

As the scent of chicken wafts past your nose again, you realize that you are starving. Who knows when you last ate? Silently thanking the person for bringing you food, you settle down in front of the bowl and begin to eat.

After a few bites, you freeze. Someone is approaching the door again. If they come in now, they'll notice that some of the food has been eaten. Feigning sleep may not be as easy now... You could just sit there and eat, and look up when they enter like you didn't hear them coming...
