AHHHHH! ! !

Screams echoed through the violet hallway.

Vio felt like he was about to vomit, the sight of the loads of corpses have scarred his innocence of life.

Normally he would be fine with any genre of a situation, but this felt straight-up gruesome!

"Oh my Gods...!", Vio muttered in horror, taken a huge step back from Room-301.

He took bits of deep breaths, trying to sooth down his sanity.

As he quietly closed the door, he saw some sort of code written with blood on the walls of the hallway.

It read, "5ã1ãń"

"What could this mean?", Vio asked himself.

Then, the book fluttered its pages a bit, as if trying to signal Vio to open it.

The purple-hero did just that, opening the book to a blank page.

The code which was once written on the wall, magically transferred onto the blank page.

For a brief moment, Vio could've sworn that he saw a messed-up drawing of a noose hanging around.

Was it just his imagination?

It should be...!

The book slowly flicked its page to the back of the previous page, showing a room number written in black messed-up ink.

"Room-524"

Vio used up bits of his cleverness to figure out what this could've meant.

"This must be the room where the code could be used for...", he assumed to himself.

From that, Vio quietly walked across the hallway.

Many words written in either blood or black messy ink were written on the hotel's walls.

Words like:

"Come find me"

"Pesky little children"

"Hope is for fools"

He tried to ignore it, but they were too hard to miss.

A loud crash was heard, Vio quickly looked at the rain storm which was still audible and visible from the dusty window.

Vio tried his best to keep his cool, but deep down in his calm heart, it felt like it was dying mentally from all of this.

The purple-hero went upstairs to the fourth floor, then up to the fifth.

What Vio didn't know, is that someome ended up meeting him there.

"Oh Vio!", Red cheerfully greeted, "I'm so glad that I finally found you!"

Vio looked at his optimistic sibling in shock and confusion.

"O-Oh!", the purple-hero sighed in relief, "Hey Red..."

REAL OR FAKE?

Vio felt a strong whisper hissing through his ear, saying those words.

"Vio?", Red asked with an innocent concern look, "Are you alright?"

"Y-Yeah...! I'm fi-"

TRUST OR KILL

"Stop it!"

Red was flabbergasted from Vio's sudden shout, "V-Vio? Am I being a bothersome?"

Vio quickly shook his head, "N-No, no! You're not Red, it's okay...!"

KILL HIM

The purple-hero immediately went down to his knees, shaking violently in admitted fear.

Red kneeled down close to him trying to comfort his usually-calm sibling.

The red-hero helped him up, giving him the most comforting hug, which almost felt like home.

"Thank you Red...", Vio said with a small smile on his already scarred face.

"Vio, are you okay?", Red asked, "You look like you've just seen a ghost!"

The purple-hero sighed, trying to keep his sanity high, "Why are you here? I thought you were staying home with Shadow..."

Red gently rubbed his arm meekly, "We were getting worried for you Vio. So when you didn't came back home from the library, I willingly chose to find you."

"Red...", Vio gently patted his younger brother's head in a brotherly-like manner, "I'm just glad that you came for me. Plus I'm greatful that you're growing up to be just as brave as Blue."

REAL OR FAKE

That voice again!

Vio fell onto Red in a painful position, before quickly (but calmly) standing up to help Red, "My bad Red, that was my fault..."

Red just smiled sweetly in acknowledgement, "It's okay Vio, I understand!"

The purple-hero smiled in relief, appreciating the fact that the kindest of all Links, was here for him.

"Come on Red, I want you to come with me."

Red nodded in agreement, "Anything to help Vio!"

With that, Vio and Red went down the hallway to find the room to fit the code.


"There it is!"

Room-524

"Um, Vio?", Red questioned, "What are you doing?"

Vio calmly looked at the book, typing in the correct code onto the door's lock.

"5ã1ãń"

It worked! The door successfully opened.

Before entering, knowing Red, the purple-hero took a peek inside the room before entering.

"It's safe...", he muttered in calm relief.

The two Links entered the room, which turned out to be similar to Princess Zelda's room except violet coloured.

"Vio?", Red questioned, "Why does this room look like Princess Zelda's room?"

Vio looked around calmly, doing his best to keep his cool.

Whatever the Violet Hotel is hiding, it must be something involved with the Links.

But more on Vio himself...
