And the Pools Were as Blood...
Chapter 2: Prank Calls and Tickle Fights
The Sheldin Inn was a decently sized hotel with three stories and 100 rooms on each floor. Every room had two beds, a TV, and a tiny, cramped bathroom. The floors in certain areas were sopping wet from people coming back from the obviously popular swimming pool, and the ice machine was broken.
Kami opened the door of their hotel room and shoved her children inside. Reece immediately ran for the bed, Haiden hot on his heals.
"Mona?" Kami looked over at her daughter, who was scrutinizing the phone.
"Hm?"
"Will you make sure Haiden and Reece don't kill each other while I help your dad unpack the van?" She asked as she switched the TV on to Blues Clues.' Haiden instantly stopped trying to climb onto the bed and instead pressed his face to the television, as if he were being sucked into the screen.
"Sure," Ramona answered her mother innocently, turning away from the phone. Kami looked at the little girl suspiciously.
"No tricks, okay Ramona? I don't want you pulling ANY pranks, got it?"
"Sure, Mama!" Ramona crossed her fingers behind her back and Kami exited the room. Ramona turned back to the phone and dialed for room service. In her most adult sounding voice, she said, "Yes, hello, I would like a wake up call at 3am for every room except this one. Thank you!"
"You're gonna get in trouble!!" Reece sang from the bed he was jumping on.
"Not if you don't tell, sweet, sweet brother of mine." Ramona replied as she approached her brother menacingly. "You won't tell will you?"
"Yes I wi—AACCKK!" Ramona launched herself onto Reece and tackled him to the bed.
"Say Uncle!!"
"AHHH!!! I'm telling MAAMMMAA!!"
"Oh no you aren't!!"
"Let goooo of meeeee!"
"Not until you promi---HAHAHAHAHAHAH!" Ramona let go of her helpless prey and started to laugh hysterically as Haiden tried to tickle her.
"Stop! Haddy! HAHAHAHAH!"
"Yeah Haddy!!" Reece looked at his little brother who was on his tiptoes trying to reach Ramona—she had rolled over to the edge when she'd attacked Reece.
"Don' be meeen Moe-na!" Haiden yelled in her ear. Reece picked him up and set him on the bed so he could tickle Ramona better.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! AAAHHHH!!! MAAAAAAAAAMAAAAAAAAA!!"
"What in heaven's name is going on in here??!" Leon yelled as he rushed into the room. He burst out laughing when he saw his two-year-old son ticking his eight-year-old daughter.
"What happened???!" Kami cried when she flew in after Leon. "Oh."
"Haddy saved my life!!" Reece beamed. Ramona's eyes shot open.
"Saved your life?" Both parents repeated.
"Yah! Ramona was—Mphg!" Ramona had her hand over Reece's mouth and she began to laugh nervously.
"I was only trying to stop him from jumping on the bed! He's overreacting! I swear! Haddy thought I was hurting him so he attacked me. I didn't hurt him, honest!" Kami wrenched Reece from Ramona's grasp and glared at her.
"What did she do now, Reece?"
"She- she, um, er... she . . ." Reece faltered at the glare his sister was giving him. "She's telling the truth." Kami and Leon both stared gapingly at Reece.
"We'll find out sooner or later. If either of you are lying, you can forget about going to Super Soapy World tomorrow." Leon threatened. Reece and Ramona glanced at each other nervously. Haiden watched the whole scene from his vantage point on the bed, sucking his thumb and rubbing his eyes.
"Uh-oh! Is Hay-hay sleepy?" Kami cooed sweetly. Haiden immediately left his eyes alone.
"Noh thleepy!!"
"Oh, I think you are!! In fact, so I am I. Let's just all go to bed right now!" Kami suggested hopefully. The other two children looked horrified.
"But, but, but . . ."
"That is a good idea! Let's all go to bed now!" Leon put in. "Only one problem. All our stuff is still in the van. We gotta unpack, Kami."
"Ramona, Reece, you two come and help us, alright?" Kami said as she scooped Haiden into her arms. It would be better if she were the one watching her havoc-wrecking children. Reece and Ramona nodded glumly in acquiescence and followed their parents out the door quietly.
***
Kami closed her eyes wearily, cuddling close to her husband in the bed. The room was silent, all three monster children were tucked into the bed across from them, Haiden in the middle to ensure he wouldn't fall off in the night.
All of their luggage was in the hotel room, the door was locked and secure, and everything was alright. Except, now that she could finally lay down and relax, Kami couldn't sleep.
Leon was already sleeping, his soft snoring in her ear was proof of that. Haiden often talked himself to sleep, and he stopped mumbling softly thirty minutes ago. Both Ramona and Reece were completely motionless, they'd conked out immediately. Kami was the only one still wide awake.
She groaned softly to herself and opened her eyes again. I'm the sleepiest in this family, why is it that I'm the only one not sleeping?? I'm so tired . . .'
The air conditioning switched on and Kami jumped at the loud sound that filled the room. First crickets, then cars, and then people still splashing around in the pool, which conveniently was just outside the window of the Yuys' room.
Kami looked over at the digital clock near the bed. It read '10:30'. I guess that's why there are still people in the pool . . . when did I start needing as much sleep as my children??'
Kami rolled onto her back and stared at the ceiling. It was covered in plaster sploches, just barley poking out from the rest of the ceiling. Almost like splashes of blood floating in a pool of watery death...
Where did that come from??' Kami exclaimed to herself. Blood doesn't even float. It sinks.' She looked back at the ceiling and noticed it was smooth, smooth as glass. Kami shivered. I'm seeing things. I really should just keep my eyes closed if I'm trying to sleep.' She cuddled up against Leon again and sighed as he snorted noisily at the contact. Kami didn't think that she could sleep with the loud steam train snorting in her ear, but before she knew it, she was lulled into an uneasy sleep.
