Also, yes I did post but then deleted this story since I didn't think I'd finish it, but NOW I have an inspiration.
Review and let me know what you think :3
It was a complete downpour, the rain just came pummeling down and to make things worse…the car broke down.
"AGHHH! What now?" Tristan and Joey bickered like no tomorrow at Duke, going through all the possibilities why his car would do this.
Yugi tried to calm them down until Tea' pointed, "Hey, there's a hotel so let's see if we can use their phone."
Olivia cocked a brow at the eerie building in the distance, not liking the looks of it at all.
Why is there a hotel way out here in the middle of nowhere? Yugi smiled, "Great idea Tea' and if we don't have any luck we can room there."
Apparently Olivia and her close friend Lexy were the only ones who didn't like this idea, but no one else objected so they had no choice but to grab their stuff and run to the spooky building with the others, knocking on the large door knocker before going in.
The woman sniffed from the water dripping from her hair, watching Joey ring the bell rapidly. "HEY! Is anyone here?" Yugi tried to shush him, saying that there might be others trying to get some sleep. It was ten o'clock.
"May I help you?"
They all jumped as a man appeared out of nowhere behind the counter, smirking at us. He sent chills up Olivia's spine and seemed to be eyeing her like a fresh piece of meat.
Lexy noticed it as well and frowned, pulling her friend closer. "Um, our car broke down and need use of a telephone sir."
The man pouted slightly, "I apologize but our phones have been disconnected due to the storm...My word, you poor souls are soaked to the bone."
He fetched some white fluffy towels and sat them on the counter. "Please dry yourselves."
Olivia was just beyond freaked by this man alone and muttered, "I'm gone."
She grabbed her bag and headed towards the door when someone pulled her back by the shoulders; whipping her head around to look up at the man.
The innkeeper smiled too sweetly down at Olivia, gripping her shoulders after putting a towel around them. "Surely you're not leaving miss? You'll catch your death out there."
Flinching she mumbled, "I'll take my chances."
Right when she had the door open he shut it, walking her back the other way still hanging on to her, "I insist you…..and your friends stay the night. It wouldn't be good hospitality if I didn't assist, but don't worry, I won't charge you any rent considering the circumstances."
Everyone seemed to be pleased with the offer except for Olivia and Lexy; neither of them trusted this guy or this place at all. How could they not be creeped out?
The inn keeper grabbed the sign-in book and replaced it with another with that same damn smile. "If you'll just sign your names here please."
Olivia narrowed her eyes as did Lexy, "What was wrong with the other check-in book?" "Nothing, this is the one you lot need to sign." "Why do we need to sign if we're not paying quests?" "Just sign here." "I'm not signing." "You have to miss." "No I don't, I rather stay outside in the rain."
Tea' nudged the woman with a scowled muttering, "You're being rude Olivia!"
The inn keeper chuckled, "It's quite alright for your friend to be wary but no worries. This is simply the guestbook for anyone who isn't paying and isn't from here."
"You see, he had a very good reason." She still wasn't happy about it but didn't say anything. Admitting defeat the innkeeper sighed, "You can sign later but for now, let me show you to your rooms."
Lexy was the only other one not to sign thankfully and muttered to her friend, "Is it just me or is this guy acting strangely?" "No it's not just you, I totally agree."
As he fetched a ring of keys a bunch of hooded figures came around the corner, all walking slowly and we couldn't even see their faces.
Lexy froze when one inhaled her neck, smirking at her from behind the hood. "Uh, can I help you?" "You smell nice."
Going pale she shuffled over to her friend, who had the same issue with another. "Never thought this type would come here willingly."
Lexy and Olivia exchanged glances when the innkeeper shooed them away. He picked up only the woman's bags and gestured, "Follow me."
The brunette gave her friend a confused look but she just shrugged, not having a clue why he did that either.
We all followed him up the flight of stairs, showing them to their rooms. Tristen and Duke got the first room, then Joey and Yugi got the other.
"Here you go ladies." Tea went in followed by Lexy but when Olivia tried he stopped her. "Not you miss; you get to have a room all to yourself."
She scowled, "Why?" "It's against regulations for more than two to a room." "That bed can hold all three of us!"
He ignored the woman and shut the door, leading her away to the next room despite her protests. "This'll be your room and I'll be back up with some dry garments for you."
She scooted away from him mumbling, "Thanks…..I guess." "If you need anything, don't hesitate to call me."
She grumbled, "Don't worry, I won't." He just smiled and left, leaving her all alone and hastily locking the door.
Normally she wouldn't mind having a room all to herself but, this place was scary! Why did I have to be roomed alone?
Sighing with a shrug she murmured, "Oh well, if I'm stuck here I need a warm bath."
Olivia had to admit, this place was high class with all its luxury; huge bedroom, bed, bathroom, and plenty of products too.
Relaxing in the soothing warm water with a heavy sigh, she heard a small noise not even a minute later.
She peeked around the curtain...and there stood the innkeeper, "WHAT THE HELL!?" He just smiled, "No need to shout my dear, I just brought your garments and a clean towel for you."
Covering herself behind the curtain she stuttered, "Bu…but…. how did you get in here?" "The front door, don't worry I knocked first."
She shook her head frantically, "I locked the door so you couldn't have!"
He tilted his head, "It wasn't locked, you're mistaken miss." She glared at him, "Get out!" "Do you not like my company my dear?"
Biting her lip nervously she mumbled, "In case you haven't noticed I'm taking a bath damn it!"
He chuckled and proceeded out the door, "So that's why you're miffed, understandable. I'll leave you be. Good night."
She noticed a faint evil smirk creep upon his lips and shuddered. "He reminds me of someone but I just can't place who."
Once she was through and slipped on the very nice silk nightgown he had brought her, she ran to the door and stared at it.
It wasn't locked! I hooked the chain and everything once I got in here so how?
Shaking it off the woman just shuffled to the bed and crawled under the covers with a murmur, "I'm not going to get any sleep."
