Chapter 2

"What is it, Belle? What wrong?" asked a very concerned Cassandra.
Belle looked up at Cassandra before explaining. "There's, there's a body down there. Don't you see it," asked Belle.
Cassandra looked over the cliff and then back at Belle. "Belle, there is nobody down there," she said softly.
Belle looked down again and saw nothing. "But, I could have sworn I saw a girl there. It was so real," she muttered, confused.
"You must have imagined it. Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm really tired. That's probably why I was seeing things," said Belle.
"Let's go back in the hotel," suggested Cassandra and the two walked back in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shawn and Phillip were just coming into the hotel lobby when they saw Belle and Cassandra enter the hotel.
"Hey girls," said Phillip as him and Shawn approached them.
"Hey," said Cassandra.
"Is everything okay?" asked Shawn, noticing that Belle looked a little off.
"Belle thought she saw a dead body at the bottom of the cliff," explained Cassandra.
"What" exclaimed Phillip.
"Relax Phillip. I was just seeing things," said Belle.
"Are you okay," asked Shawn.
"I'm fine. I'm just a little tired so I am going to get some sleep."
"We'll walk you to your room," said Shawn and they headed for the stairs.
When they almost reached the stairs something caught Belle's attention.
"What is it?" asked Shawn.
"It's her," said Belle pointing to a picture of a blonde girl in her thirties with hazel eyes and the sweetest smile. "That's the girl I saw at the bottom of the cliff."
"No it's not Belle," said Phillip. "You were just seeing things."
"I know. I guess I really do need some sleep, huh. You guys don't have to walk us to our room, I'll be fine," said Belle and her and Cassandra headed upstairs and Phillip and Shawn turned back to look at the picture hanging on the wall.
"She's beautiful, isn't she," said a voice from behind them. Shawn and Phillip turned to see a man in his forties who worked at the hotel.
"Yeah," agreed Phillip.
"Her name was Roberta Lynn Evans."
"Was?" asked Shawn.
"She died ten years ago. She owned this hotel. It was even more successful when she was running it."
"How did she die?" asked Phillip.
"She fell of the cliff just outside this hotel." said the man and then he walked away leaving a shocked Shawn and Phillip.
