It was raining at 7:00Pm and lots of cars were backed up in a traffic jam, the Grumobile drove
right through it. Lucy looked at Gru with a raised eyebrow and said "Not that I didn't enjoy driving
through traffic but why did you do that?" Gru replied "Vell Lucy the last time I waited in a traffic jam
there vas an incident." Margo stared at Gru in shock before yelling "You promised you'd never
bring that up again!" Lucy was surprised by Margo's reaction and was about to ask what
happened but noticing Margo blushing and Edith snickering she decided against it. Gru then
groaned and said "I can't see a thing in this rain Ve'll have to stop somewhere." Agnes then said
"There's a hotel over there!" Lucy then looked out her window and saw a sign that read HOTEL
Gru drove up to the hotel parking lot and after running to the entrance of the hotel in the freezing
rain the family made it inside. Gru looked around and saw that no one was in the room when a
voice said "Bad weather tonight huh." Everyone jumped and turned seeing a short man in a purple
suit and a name tag that read Marion. Gru looked at the man and said "Hello are you ze
manager?" The man nodded his head and replied "Indeed I am welcome to the Haunton Hotel.
Edith chuckled at the name and asked "The Haunton Hotel what is it haunted?" Gru was about to
tell Edith not to be rude and apologize but the manager just laughed and said "Well lots of places
have their own ghost stories and in my opinion a haunted building makes for good business."
Lucy then asked "Do you know if the storm will stop soon?" The man replied "I'm afraid the storm
won't settle until tomorrow but you may stay here overnight if you wish. Gru rubbed his chin in
thought and replied "Vell it beats driving in the rain...okay!" Gru was about to pay when the
manager said "Oh it's alright we don't need you to pay any money." Gru was about to ask why
when Agnes sneezed. The manager then said "Oh dear how silly of me I'll find some dry clothes
for you all to wear." Gru then replied "It's okay I keep back up clothes in the car I'll go get them."
The manager then replied "Oh no worries I'll have one of my employee's fetch them for you."
The manager then pushed a button behind his desk and a young man with blonde hair in a red
bellhop uniform came over "Ah Zack good I need you to go retrieve the Gru family's spare clothes
from their car." Zack nodded his head and went out into the storm to go get the clothes. Margo's
mouth hung open for a moment, she then giggled and said "Who was that?" Gru looked annoyed
noticing Margo's tone and the look in her eyes when she saw the bellhop. The manager replied
"A loser, now here is the key to your room Mr. Gru." Gru took the key and said "Thank you Mr.?
The manager politely said "Oh just call me Marion also in an hour we will be having our adult only
ball if you and your wife would like to come I hope to see you there." An hour later the Gru family
was in their hotel room curiously their spare clothes were already in the room neatly folded on the
master bed. The room looked like an average hotel room, a soft carpet, painted walls and cheesy
green curtains on the windows, there were three rooms, the living room, and two bedrooms with a
bathroom in the hallway. After a brief disscusion Gru and Lucy decided to go to the ball Marion
mentioned, as they left Gru said "Okay gurls we'll be back in an hour Edith no ordering room
service while we're gone, Margo your in charge." After the two left Edith started looking around the
room and found something shocking. "Margo this place is haunted!" Margo rolled her eyes and
replied to her sister "Edith you did that joke earlier." Edith then said "No seriously look!" Edith then
shoved an old newspaper in Margo's face, Margo looked at it and read "Brutal murders at local
hotel over twenty five people found dead at the Haunton Hotel each person showed signs of being
killed in various ways killers still at large." Margo then looked up at Edith and gave her a blank
stare before stating "Edith just because people died here doesn't mean this place is haunted and
even if it is, ghosts can't hurt people." Edith stared at Margo in surprise and said "Wait you believe
in ghost too I thought you'd say there was no such thing." Margo then replied "Of course they're
real I've read books!" Margo then pulled out two books. The first one was Hauntings around the
world and the second was Urban legends in the USA. Margo then put the books up and left Edith
asked her "Where are you going?" Margo replied "I'm still cold from running in the rain so I'm
gonna go take a shower." Edith then said "Okay then I'm gonna order room service!" "Dad said
not to." Edith then smirked at Margo and replied "I'll get Zack's phone number for you." Margo
stopped in her tracks, sighed and replied "Just don't get caught and watch Agnes!" Speaking of
Agnes the girl in question was watching tv. The channel was showing a rerun of the old pokemon
episodes when it suddenly shut off. Agnes got up to turn the tv back on when it suddenly
turned on and a hideous monster roared at the girl. Agnes screamed and ran to Edith yelling
"There's a goblin in the tv!" Edith hugged her sister and said "It's okay Agnes you probably just
saw a commercial for a scary movie or something." Agnes didn't look convinced so Edith
suggested she stay and have room service with her, The younger sister agreed." Meanwhile Gru
and Lucy had made it to the main hall, the manager was there to greet them "Ah Mr. and Mrs.
Gru so glad you could make it." Marion then gestured for them to go inside, as they walked a
thought occured to Lucy turning to Gru she said "Wait I don't think we introduced ourselves how
did he know our name?" Gru looked puzzled but didn't think much of it. not far away the manager
stared at the couple but in the mirror next to him there was a skeleton! The manager gave a dark
chuckle before returning to his work. While Gru and Lucy were wondering about the strange
manager Margo was having her shower the warm water made her feel very relaxed. Margo was in
the middle of washing her hair when the water suddenly went from hot to freezing cold "Ahh what
the heck!?" Margo tried to turn the water back to hot but instead the water just got colder. The
shivering Margo quickly shut the shower off "C..Cold w...where's the towel!?" Margo had to keep
her eyes shut to avoid soap getting in her eyes. Stumbling out of the shower the girl felt around for
the towel when she felt a soft material. Thinking it was the towel Margo dried her face and wiped
the soap away from her eyes, when Margo opened her eyes and looked at the towel she
noticed it was an old rag, light purple in color. Margo looked up and to her horror a hideous
skeletal hag glared down at her the thing screamed at her but it wasn't like a scream it was more
like a screech Margo screamed in terror and started to back up but she slipped and fell over
hitting her head, she fell unconcious. With Edith and Agnes all was well, the two ordered a fairly
large amount of room service and had a feast. At the moment Agnes was sleeping peacefully on
the couch while Edith pigged out on the rest of the food. Edith was eating an extra large
hamburger, after eating the last of it her stomach growled and she felt a sharp pain in her
stomach. "Ooh I think I ate too much urp." Suddenly a loud crack of thunder and lightning caused
the windows of the hotel to shake, then the lights then went out. A foul smell entered the room, it
was so bad Edith had to pinch her nose shut. The lights then flickered back on and on the table
were the food was just a second ago was filled with moldy cheese,lasagna and old vegetables.
Edith's stomach made a gurgling sound. Edith then put one hand on her stomach, her face turned
green. Placing her other hand over her mouth the girl ran for the bathroom. Margo woke up in a
daze
"Uhh what happened?" Margo then remembered what happend prior to getting knocked out and
looked around she didn't see any ghost woman and she didn't see her clothes either. Margo then
jumped at a frantic knocking on the bathroom door, noticing the towel she couldn't find earlier on
the sink Margo wrapped the towel around herself and went to open the bathroom door. When she
did Edith flew past her so fast it caused Margo to spin out into the hall way. "Well that was rude."
Margo mumbled to herself. Her towel then started to fall of so Margo quickly grabbed it. Then to
Margo's embarrassment Zack the bellhop stood at the end of the hallway. Margo's face turned
bright red, she then tried to explain why she was standing in the hallway in nothing but a towel
when another crack of thunder shook the building, once again the lights shut off but when they
flickered on again Zack was headless! Margo screamed in terror and as the lights flickered on and
off in the hallway the headless man walked closer and closer. Margo bolted for the hotel room her
towel forgotten and quickly slammed the door behind her. Agnes was surprised when Margo ran
into the room butt naked. (A/N get it 'butt' 'naked' haha I'll be here all week tip your waitress's!)
Agnes quickly rushed over when Margo sank to the floor her face white as a ghost "Margo are
you okay what's wrong!?" Margo then stuttered "T..The bellhop was headless!" Agnes
didn't quite understand so she hugged her sister to calm her down. Once Margo was calm she
saw her clothes on the bed and went to get dressed. Edith then came into the room. "ugh I am
never eating again!" Edith then saw Margo rushing to get dressed, both her and Agnes looked
terrified. "What's with you two?" Margo then told Edith about the ghoul in the bathroom and
the headless bellhop and to Margo and Agnes's surprise Edith started laughing "Why are you
laughing!?" Edith then replied "And I thought I had a weird sense of humor you really expect me to
fall for that?" Margo then glared at the laughing girl and snapped "You were the first one to suggest
this place is haunted what's with the sudden change?" Edith then replied "I was joking you really
think this place is haunted it's called the Haunton hotel why would a place called haunton be
haunted it's too obvious!" after Edith spoke a vase on the the coffee table flew past Edith almost
hitting her in the head. "What the heck!?" Margo then asked "Do you believe me now?" Edith
nodded her head sudenly the three sisters heard two voices "Come play with us." The three girls
then turned and saw twins they had big foreheads and wore blue dresses "Come play with us
forever and ever and-" The twins didn't get to finish as the Gru sisters screamed and ran out of the
room leaving three girl shaped holes in the door. One twin looked at the other and said "Well that
was rude." Margo, Edith and Agnes ran through the hotel desperate to find their parents when Edith
stopped and saw something. Margo quickly ran over and said "Edith come on we need to find-"
Margo then gasped, on the wall was an old newspaper it's headline read "Haunton Hotel burns to
the ground no survivors" Edith then took the newspaper off the wall Margo asked her "What are you
doing?" Edith simply replied "We'll need proof." The three girls then continued searching for the
main hall when they heard a voice say "The Haunton Hotel's history is a sad one. Death is a regular
visitor even now." Margo then saw a mirror at the end of the hallway in it was the grim reaper!"
Margo slipped and fell over. The reaper walked out of the mirror and slowly stalked toward the fallen
girl, luckily Edith pulled Margo to her feet and the two ran to catch up with Agnes. Meanwhile things
were completely normal for Gru and Lucy the two danced together, the music was kind of creepy to
Gru but he still had a good time. The couple was then surprised by Margo Edith and Agnes running
into the hall crying Gru asked "Gurls what's the matter!?" Margo then replied "This hotel is haunted
it burned down years ago everyone here is dead!" Edith then handed Gru the newspaper. Gru read
the headline "What is this?" Gru then heard the manager say "Like I told your daughter earlier Mr.
Gru a haunted building makes good for business." The family then turned and to their shock the
manager was a skeleton and all the other guests in the room were pale and see through.
The skeleton then said "Why do you think I started that fire and killed those guests in the first
place!" Marion then picked up a wine glass off a tray from a ghostly waiter and threw in on the
ground a fire then started around him. The Gru family ran as fast as they could to the hotel
entrance the manager's insane laughter could be heard all around. Gru led his family through the
rain to the Grumobile. Gru opened the door and everyone ran in, as the Grumobile drove away the
fire consumed the Haunton Hotel before fading in the rain. Once the family got home Gru calmed
his daughters and helped them get to sleep afterwords he went down to the lab to ask Dr. Nefario
about the Haunton Hotel. Three hours later everyone was asleep when the tv in the living room
turned on it was all static when a clawed hand came out of the tv, then another, soon the goblin that
Agnes saw earlier came out of the tv and crept up the stairs to the girls room. It slowly opened the
door and crept over to Agnes's bed when suddenly Agnes shot up and opened her eyes they were
black pupiless eyes. Agnes then said in a deep horrifying voice "LEAVE NOW OR I SHALL
DEVOUR YOUR SOUL!" The goblin screamed like a little girl and ran back to the living room and
quickly crawling back into the tv. Agnes then giggled her eyes normal before falling back asleep.
THE END
