Chapter 3
Esmé and Olaf were still kicking at the door and screaming when the hotel's fire alarms went off. Esmé moaned in terror. "We're trapped in a closet and they are burning down the hotel!" she screamed.
"No we don't know that for sure. It could just be a small fire…."
"In a hotel full of trained fire fighters!" Esmé retorted.
"Okay hold on." Olaf said kicking the door in the right spot finally sending it off its hinges. They both pushed their way out of the closet and to the door of the hotel suite. Olaf opened the door and you could already see the smoke seeping up the stairs and the red glow following it.
"Oh darling, its going to be too late!" Esmé cried covering her eyes in grief.
"We will get trough there." Olaf said firmly grabbing her hand and pulling her down the hall toward the smoking stairwell. Standing at the top of the hotel stairs the black smoke billowed around them. He kissed her brief on the cheek before pulling her farther into the smoke. Running down the stairs the heat got more and more unbearable until they reached the 5th floor which was engulfed in flames. Olaf kept pulling her down farther right past it the metal on the stair case was the only thing not burning.
Reaching the bottom of the stairs they saw the entire lobby was on fire. Esmé was couching horribly. She was allergic to smoke she was fine as long as she wasn't breathing it in. That's why Esmé never smoked. Her eyes flickered and then she fainted passing out from too much smoke and heat. Olaf caught her and scooped her up walking around the floor with her light weight was difficult only because the carpet was on fire. With the front entrance blocked by some flaming furniture Olaf forced his way out a back door.
Stumbling out into the bright sunshine and almost collapsing onto the parking lot pavement he set Esmé down and set next to her laying on the ground to catch his breath. Sitting back up he realized that laying on a closet floor forever was catching up with him. He turned to Esmé. Kneeling beside her she said; "Esmé wake up darling…" brushing her cheek with his hand.
Esmé's eyes opened. "O…..you saved us….." she cooed.
"I saved you but your dress wasn't it was have caught fire on our way down its rather singed and considerably shorter…." Olaf said with a smile.
"That's okay…you can buy me a new one….."
"You never change …"Olaf smiled.
"Would you have preferred a big revelation?' Esmé asked sarcastically.
"Not really no… Lets go find Hooky and that insistently annoying little child of yours."
"She isn't annoying she is precious…"
"Sure…..lets go…follow me…" Olaf said standing up.
"To the ends of the earth…." Esmé said with a laugh.
