Chapter 2
Why am I so warm? Wondered Billy groggily as he woke up. Judging by the sunlight filtering through the dirty window it had to be about eight in the morning. Billy turned and almost jumped out of bed when he saw how close Dianna was. That's why I'm so warm. He could suddenly distinctly feel her legs against his. He slowly climbed out of bed and managed not to wake Dianna. He went and changed and when he came back he found Dianna awake and rubbing her eyes.
"Morning what time is it?" yawned Dianna getting out of bed.
"Not sure but it looks light enough to leave." Answered Billy
"Great let's get out of here." Said Dianna stepping out of Bed. She left and got changed then they went to the front lobby and found it deserted.
"That's funny hotels usually have someone posted here all the time. Oh well how much do you think we owe her?" asked Dianna
"For a place like this? Nothing but nothings free so I bet twenty bucks would cover it." Replied Billy "Pass me they keys I'll go start the car."
Dianna counted out twenty bucks and turned in time to see Billy rushing back in.
"Dianna our cars gone! All the cars are gone! What are we gonna do?" asked Billy anxiously.
"We better go talk to the lady about this!" exclaimed Dianna. They tried all the doors but no one answered at any of them.
"I think we're the only ones here, lets check out these rooms."
All the rooms had broken furniture in them and were coated with a thick layer of dust.
"Ok this is really freaky maybe we should call mom." Suggested Billy. "My pod isn't picking up any signals."
"Let me try the U-watch, nothing" said Dianna "My cell phone isn't picking up any signals either."
"Looks like the only way out is to walk. So let's grab our stuff and leave." Billy said morphing back to human form and grabbing their suite cases. They followed the road for 15 minuets before hitting a bend. They rounded the corner and ended up back in front of the hotel. They tried about 20 more directions in a circle but always ended up back in the same spot.
"Let's see what the legendex has to say about this place." Said Dianna "It says here that the staff of this hotel forced a man off the road and kept him captive in this hotel giving him a nightly meal. He died after 2 years of sheer loneliness. Ever since his death 10 years ago the hotel has been out of Business."
"Out of business? But…." Said Billy
"He must have led us here. All of the missing peoples bodies were found near here about a year or sooner after they had gone missing." Concluded Dianna
"You mean we're stuck her Intel we die?" asked Billy
"Not if I can help it. I can send out a constant signal from the U-Watch it might be weak because of whatever barrier stops the other signals but I'm sure the center can lock on to it if they try." Said Dianna
"How long will that take?" asked Billy
"Not long hopefully. Now I know why it's so cold here at night. The mans angry spirit chills the hotel and it's surroundings to a freezing point." Replied Dianna "We should get back to the hotel."
"I miss Martin." Mumbled Billy following Dianna back to the hotel. When they got back to their room a dinner of Bread, cheese and two bowls of steaming hot stew.
"Food!" shouted Billy as he spotted the platter of food at their door. "I haven't had anything to eat all day."
"Wait let me perform a bio scan on it to make sure it's edible." Said Dianna. "Ok it's edible but I wonder who delivered it."
"Who cares as long as it's edible!" replied Billy taking a bowl of stew and eating it. It's really good it tastes like vegetable beef you should try it Di."
"Alright we need to eat I guess." Replied Dianna cautiously biting a piece of bread, it tasted good like Italian or something.
"Is it just me or are the days shorter here?" Asked Billy who had noticed the sun setting.
"It's just you. We've been trying to leave this hotel all day." Answered Dianna "I hope mom sees the signal soon."
"Uhhh Di I don't really want to walk down to the washroom alone in the dark. Do mind turning around so I can change here?" asked Billy
"Of course not as long as you do the same for me." Replied Dianna while turning away and closing her eyes. Billy did the same. Dianna climbed into bed and Billy slid in beside her. This feels less weird than last night Billy thought before drifting to sleep. Dianna lay in bed fighting the erg to press close to Billy for warmth. This lasted about 10 minuets before she gave in to the cold and pressed herself to him and drifted into a light sleep.
