Chapter 10

Haida and Jojo been dating a while and although they normally celebrate their anniversary on Halloween, there real anniversary is May 17. So Haida looks online and finds a really super nice hotel for only 60$ a night. Thinking this may be a steal or some special the hotel is holding decides to book three nights there. Once Jojo got out of the shower Haida goes up to his boyfriend and wraps his arms around his damp waist.

"Hey babe I know today is our anniversary per se and I really wanted to do something nice for you so I booked three days at this really nice hotel." Haida says.

"That sounds wonderful babe I hope it wasn't too expensive." Jojo says.

They hop in their car and begin the 45 minute drive. Jojo plugs in his phone and plays his music. A nice soft ukulele intro begins as Jojo begins to clear his throat and he begins to sing along with the song. Haida loving it but not knowing what it means asks Jojo to translate the song. Jojo happily agrees.

Jojo: Oh my noble king who made the lands flourish you are the conquerer of Islands. Oh my graceful king who restored the faith of his people your kindness is as limitless as the sands on the beach. Oh my generous king who sees his people not as under him but as equals your legacy lives on in the dance of this song. Oh my king you are my Kingdom.

Haida smiles and replies "That is a wonderful song my queen i love it, can you sing it to me again later?" Haida asks.

"Of course it can be your lullaby if you want too" Jojo replies brushing his paw against the hyena's cheek, they continue to sing for the duration of the trip and once they get to the hotel they see that there seems to be very few cars for such a high star hotel.

"Maybe it just started and not many people are aware of it yet?" Haida says as he shrugs his shoulder.

"Yeah true..." Jojo replies as he quickly turns his head looking around the area behind him.

"Babe are you ok?" Haida asks

"yeah I just thought i heard someone call my name" Jojo says as they go up to the front desk and see this pale young meerkat who greets them and says that her name is Anastacia. She takes their payment and hands them a key for room 812.

"Oh I'm sorry there must be a mistake i paid for a room on the 4th floor" Haida says trying to hand her back the key.

"Yes but you see since you two are the first couple here celebrating their anniversary my supervisor insisted we give you room 812 at no extra charge, kind of like a thank you for choosing us out of all other hotels" An says as shey hands Haida back the key. Haida thinking that this is just wonderful thanks her and offers to give her a tip but she refuses. Haida and Jojo grab their luggage and go into the elevator and heads up to the 8th floor. Once they get to the floor the elevator doors seem to take a bit to open, thinking it to be electrical error they think nothing of it and wait. Finally the door opens and they see that room 812 is the Only room on this floor.

"That's strange? Why is there only one room up here?" Haida asks. Once they open the door with the key they see a Huge what they assume is the presidential suite. The couple seems to be ecstatic about their luck as they lay their luggage on the floor of the room. Haida explores the room as well as Jojo. Jojo sees a balcony and for some reason walks to it and stands out on the balcony.

"Babe are you ok?" Haida asks wrapping his boyfriend in his arms.

"Yeah I am how come?" Jojo asks.

"Because you been standing here for 5 minutes, I kept calling your name but you never answered" Haida replies.

Just after changing into their swim trunks and going down to the pool they notice that there seems to be only 12 guests all together at this hotel. They ignore this and continue to swim. Haida looks at his phone and notices its getting late, so they go to the dining room of the hotel and order some food and drinks. While the couple is enjoying their meal the waiter comes up with two purple drinks.

"We pride ourselves on excellent customer service and we offer one drink on the house for all meals over 50$" the waiter says.

"Now I can see why this place had 5 stars on the website, you cant get treatment like this anywhere else" Haida replies as he drinks his drink. Jojo does the same and pays for the meal. The couple head up to their room and decide to call it a night. Haida was the first to fall asleep and as Jojo was about to fall asleep he heard a loud splash. Getting up he runs to the balcony and looks over he sees what appears to be a young girl in the pool screaming for help but no one is coming. Jojo being him rushes out and down the stairs thinking that the elevator will take too long to get down to the ground floor. Once there he rushes to the pool and stops dead in his tracks. The water in the pool is so calm that it looks like glass and there is no little girl in the pool. Thinking that the girl's parents must have got to her while he was still in the stairwell, but why is the water so calm it looks like no1 even dipped a toe into the water.

He turns around and sees An there standing on the top step, startled he steps back and almost falls into the pool but catches himself.

"Is everything alright sir?" An asks in a soft voice

"I...I swore that I heard a splash and saw a young girl in the pool" Jojo replies freaking out.

"Oh sir, you must be extremely exhausted I been down here cleaning for an hour and no one was here but me and definitely not near the pool." An says.

"I guess you're right...sorry for the trouble" Jojo says.

"No trouble at all Mister Jojo please enjoy your stay" An says

Jojo thanks her and turns to walk away but stops and quickly turns to ask her something but she vanished.

The next day everything seems to go without any odd things going on. Jojo them go for a walk out in the district looking at shops and everything, buy some souveniers as well as some desert that you can only get in that area. Haida walks into a flower shop and sees a nice rose.

"Hi welcome, you seem to not be from around here so what brings you to these parts?" the worker asks.

"Oh its mine and my boyfriend's anniversary so we decided to rent a hotel room a couple days" Haida says.

"Really but there isn't any hotels near here? the worker says confused.

"What about that 5 star hotel room thats like a 15 minute walk from here?" Haida asks showing the worker photos.

The worker then grabs the rose that Haida was looking at and handed it to him saying its a gift but he must leave now. Haida confused takes the rose and leaves. Jojo and Haida head back to the hotel and when they walk up to the front desk they see An who smiles at them but notices the rose and jumps back as if she is scared of the rose.

"Is everything ok An?" Jojo asks, she says yes and just that she has never seen such a beautiful rose before. She asks Haida if she can hold it but he denies and says that he is going to put it in their room.

Later that night while Jojo fell asleep first this time, Haida is soaking in the bathtub when he hears a woman's voice calling to him. Wondering who it could be he gets out of the tub dries off and puts his cloths on. He goes into the room and notices that the door is slightly open. He hears a woman's voice calling him again and once he goes out into the hall he sees a gorgeous female hyena.

"Hello Haida, I see you have a rose...may I please have it?" the lady asks

Haida as if almost in a trance slowly walks to her and is about to give her the rose when a flashback of seeing Jojo kidnapped breaks him from the trance and he pulls the rose back and begins to walk back to the room as the lady's voice continues to call him getting angrier and angrier.

On the final day of their stay they decide to just order food and stay in their room and watch movies. Jojo explains his experience to Haida and Haida replies and tells his story as well.

"But I think what really got to me is that how did she know we were a couple and celebrating our anniversary if we didn't mention it to her?" Jojo asks.

Haida tells Jojo that he's going to go get some ice and wine glasses so that they can celebrate their last night with a bang. Once Haida gets back he sees that the room is open and when he steps inside the room is a complete mess, He sees Jojo fighting...Another Jojo?

Just then both of the Jojos fall over the railing on the balcony and are holding on to the cement part of the balcony.

"Babe save me!" one of the Jojo's cries out.

"No I'm the real Jojo" Another one calls out.

Just then both of the Jojo's lose their grip and begin to fall. Haida looking over the railing and sees both begin to fall towards the pool.

"A queen will always sacrifice everything for their king" one of the Jojo says a small smile on his face.

Haida without hesitating Jumps over the railing and begins to fall towards Jojo and he grabs him in his arms and wraps him tightly as he whispers into his ear.

"And a king will always walk barefoot into hell for his queen" Once they hit the water they break from their embrace and get up. They look around and notice that the hotel is no longer nice but rundown and abandoned.

"Lets...get the fuck outta here now" Haida says grabbing Jojo by the hand and leading him out.

Once they get into the lobby they can see an elderly woman, at the front desk screaming at them to come back. Haida still having the rose in his hand walks up to her

"An you said you wanted to hold this rose...well you can have it because you fucked with the wrong queen" Haida then tosses the rose at her which causes her to burst into flames as he and Jojo walk out of the hotel hand in hand.

*Alternate ending*

Jojo is given a gun with 6 rose colored bullets. Wondering why a strange man would give him one he takes it and heads back to the hotel. Once he gets up to the 8th floor the floor is dim and dark, he walks into the room and sees two Haidas standing facing each other all beaten up and battered. Jojo freaking out pulls out the gun and aims it at the two Haida's.

"Im the real Haida" one says.

"No I'm the real Haida come on babe you know im the real one" another Haida says.

Jojo walks up to the Haida on the right and gives him a kiss on the muzzle. The Haida on the left has tears fill his eyes as the Haida on the right is giving him an evil glare. Just then a shot can be heard and the Haida that was being kissed stumbles back a wound on their chest.

"You made a huge error" Jojo says holding the gun pointed to the Haida on the right.

"1 you don't even kiss like my Haida" Jojo says firing another shot.

"2 you may look like him and talk like him but your aroma is nowhere near his" Jojo says firing a third shot.

"3 My haida has an underbite and you look normal" Jojo says firing two more shots the imposter Haida is now on the balcony

"And lastly, If you really looked at Haida you could have seen that I have marked my king and HOW FUCKIN DARE YOU HARM MY KING so before I shoot you with the last bullet just remember never fuck with a Gay rabbit's King" Jojo says pulling the trigger and the imposter Haida falls over the railing and landing in the pool but once the body hits the pool the water begins to bubble as if the pool itself is on a giant Stove. Jojo tosses the gun and turns towards the real Haida and takes him by the hand and kneels, kissing the hyena's paw.

"My noble king you are injured when we get back home I will tend to your wounds" Jojo says as Haida helps Jojo to his feet and kisses the rabbit on the muzzle.
