Chapter 2:

Stories

The next day the Bratz and the boys we on the plane to the Wonderland Lodge. They boarded early in the morning and a few hours later the plane landed in Quebec.

Everything was covered in a sparkling white blanket of snow and the white powder was still coming down. They took a few selfies and then got into their two rental cars to drive to the lodge. The ride wasn't far, and soon they arrived at the lodge which was situated in the mountains.

It was a huge building with 10 floors. It was wooden and made to look like a big cabin. It looked especially cozy because of the snow that covered it. They pulled up to the front of the building and got of of the cars.

"Oh my god, this is beautiful!" Dana exclaimed feeling absolutely amazed. A year ago the only winter vacation her family took was up the street to a nearby park to see colorful Christmas lights. Now here she was at a beautiful and luxurious ski lodge to spend two weeks having the time of her life.

Cameron and Dylan went to get carts for their luggage and came back with a few golden luggage carts. They put all of their stuff onto them and went inside.

The inside was even better than the outside.

The front lobby was huge and the solid gold designs reflected off of everything. There were comfy couches to sit on and in the middle of the lobby was a huge outdoor display with a mountain and trees covered in fake snow and on the mountain were fake stuffed animals such as wolves and mountain lions. There was also a ski lift that took people outside of the lodge and on a tour of the entire area around the lodge.

Ethan and Sasha went to the front desk to check everyone in while everyone else stayed behind to look around. Pretty soon a concierge came to take their luggage up to their rooms and Sasha and Ethan returned.

"All of this is spectacular!" Jade exclaimed.

"This is going to be the best vacation ever!" Cloe said excitedly. "We've got to do everything and explore the whole place..."

"Be careful exploring the mountain," said a voice nearby.

They turned around and next to them sitting on a couch was an old man wearing a coat and boots and he had a long white beard.

"What do you mean be careful?" Cameron asked.

"Strange things happen around here to those who don't watch their backs," he said ominously.

Everyone gathered around wondering what he was talking about.

"Like what?" Jade said twirling a blue strand of hair around her finger nervously.

"People tend to go missing around here at night. Sometimes they don't come back but if they do they're never the same."

They all looked around with the same thoughts running through their minds. What could possibly happen here?

"People come here all the time and there's lots of security around here," Sasha pointed out calmly.

"That may be true, but it doesn't stop bad things from happening. Legend has it that bad people hide in the woods among the mountains: vampires."

They looked at him skeptically.

All of a sudden a young man came towards them. He was tall and dark skinned with long dreadlocks pulled back into a ponytail. "Grandpa, are you telling people your crazy stories again?"

"It's not a crazy story, it's a fact. People never believe it until it happens," the old man said.

The guy turned to the Bratz. "I'm sorry about this," he said.

"It's fine," Koby said.

"I'm Reign. This crazy old man is my grandfather."

The Bratz introduced themselves. Then Reign led them away. "Don't worry about what he says. Wonderland Lodge is really a safe place."

"Well that's good. I'd like to keep all of my blood while I'm on this trip," Jade said.

Reign laughed. "You won't have to worry about that here."

"Do you live around here?" Sasha asked.

"I live in northern New York. My family lives near here so I come visit on my breaks from school. Where are all of you from?"

"New York City," Yasmin replied.

"Ah city folk. Well the only thing you'll have to worry about here is the frostbite and hangovers. Maybe while you're here I can show you around. As you can imagine I know the ins and outs of this place."

"That would be really nice," Sasha said looking directly at Reign who was looking at her. She noticed he had some very dark eyes, they were almost black...they were extremely attractive.

"I'll see you soon then," he said flashing a white smile before he left.
