Chapter One: Alone
"And now, I stand here alone, tears filling my eyes. My mom is dead, my brother murdered. I'm so scared. Maddie was kidnapped, no one's been out of the hotel, no one can get out. The killer is still lerking, killing everyone he can. I am trapped here. Alone. I can't run, and I can't hide. This man has taken many lives, he has taken my family, and if I don't get out of here soon...He'll take my life."
13 hours earlier...
Fourteen year old Zack comes into the kitchen. A pop-tart is in the toaster. He takes it and starts eating it while his twin, Cody finishes up his bath for school. Soon Cody emerges from the bathroom and heads to the toaster.
"Zack, did you eat my pop-tart again...?" Cody asked in disbelief.
"Um...The elves did it?" Zack said smiling.
"Zack, you are not funny, so don't try to be. I am tired of the elves." Cody mimicked Zack's smile.
"We better get to school, Cody." Zack said before his brother got mad.
"Bye, boys, have a nice day." Carey said as they went their separate ways for the day.
After school, Cody had to ride the bus home alone. Zack and Bob had basketball practice for three more hours. The ride home was gloomy. It had been rainy all day and it was foggy. As Cody entered the Tipton, he noticed an odd looking man checking in. He moved closer to listen in on what he was saying.
"Thank you, Mr. Wolls. Enjoy your stay at the Tipton." Moesby said, looking horrified.
"I will, as long as no one, and I do mean, no one, bothers me." The man sad snobbishly and stomped off.
Cody thought he was strange, but oh well. Cody hurried tot he suite. Carey was working a half hour overtime, and Cody had the suite to himself. This meant...reading in peace. Soon, Carey was home for work.
"Hey Cody, are you okay?" She asked worriedly.
"Mom, it was half an hour. I am fine. Don't worry so much." Cody said closing his book, and marking his page.
"I'm a mom, its my job to worry." Carey said smiling. "I'm going to get your brother in two hours, you coming?" She continued.
"Nah, I don't want too." Cody answered.
Cody had no idea of the events that would go down in two hours. He had no idea that he, is brother, and his mom where about to go through living hell...
Chapter two starts with Maddie getting kidnapped and stuff, so that's when the story gets running better. I hope you guys like the first paragraph of this chapter, I re-wrote it like four times. Please tell me in your review!
