When a mother and daughter came into Hotel Cortez all who looked upon them felt uncomfortable, it wasn't the mother who made their spines tingle but the daughter, her dazed like stare was unnerving, it was like she stared into your very soul. She had a sleepy smile that looked like she knew something but didn't like to share, she had piercing blue eyes and raven black hair that tumbled down her back like obsidian waves, she wore a deep red dress that hugged her body where it mattered and flowed out around her arms and legs.
The only feature she had that resembled her mother was her blue eyes, the rest of her was completely different. Her mother golden hair that curled around her head and floated, she wore pale colours, with pale pink blouse and a light purple pencil skirt. "I have a reservation" the mother ordered, her tone posh
"Name?" Iris, the woman who did all the work for the Hotel, stated plainly, forcing her eyes not to look at the unnerving stare of the young woman behind the blonde
"Macy, Jaqueline Macy" she replied, as if her name was important "I ordered two rooms"
Iris took a moment to look at the list "ah yes, room 67 and 69" she turned around and took the room keys, she passed it to the woman "have a good stay"
"Come along Lyris" Jaqueline ordered, she walked with her daughter gliding behind her
"That girl…there's something wrong with her" Iris muttered to herself, watching the young woman follow her mother without a word, no one noticed the real head of the Cortez standing above the scene with a curious look in his penetrating gaze
Aahahahahaha
Lyris was sitting quietly in her room, she sat on her bed and stared at the room in wonder "So many screams…" she said softly, to anyone who heard her voice they would have a sudden rush of nervousness, the woman sounded crazy, like her mind was somewhere else yet her body was here. She liked the Hotel, so many different feelings coursed over her, whispering their secrets. Her mother liked to go to different hotels to have another affair with her many secret boyfriends, she was a product of one of these affairs, her mother's husband, not her biological father, had gotten suspicious of his wife's disappearance so she began taking Lyris with her. Her family was rich so it was not hard to go to numerous hotels and reserve two rooms "Somebodies here" she looked to the corner with a dreamy smirk, a shimmer caught her attention "Somebody who needs love" a strange creature shimmered into existence and ran over to her, she brought her hand up and touched the things cheek, it stopped "poor thing…addicted to addiction…" she pulled the creature down and placed its head on her lap, stroking its wrinkly pale skin "even a demon needs love" the creature, who initially wanted to take it's pleasures out on her supple flesh, now knelt on the floor with its head on her lap, letting her long black nails stroke its skin.
That was what Mr James March saw from his spot in the shadows
