"Three!" Dad threw the grenade and the grenade exploded making the exit door open, "Run!"

We did run, jump and took cover simultaneously. As we hit the ground, the house exploded once more and the whole building collapsed. We watched as the collapsed building being burn by the raging fire.

The fire stopped as rain starts pouring down. Thunder and lightning flashed at the sky.

"That's the person who shot me at the leg with the gun. And more importantly, that's the person that blew up this house," Richard explained, "I'm sorry for accusing you Rachel,"

"It's okay. My parent's never trusted your excuses or accusations anyway," I said trying to sound confident even though I'm still shocked about that evil clone assaulting me. What does that creature want with me?

"Whatever," Richard said, "Now, where are we going to live for now?"

"We should stay in a hotel for a few weeks. I need to find us a new manor," Dad said while dialing a number at his Blackberry phone.

"Now, get in the car. We need to find a hotel. Now, when I mean hotel, I mean a 5 stars hotel. Not that cheap ones with cockroaches and termites. Got it, Richard?" Mom said.

"Yes, ma'am," Richard answered. He's probably annoyed.

As well as a butler and a bodyguard, Richard is also our new driver. I've never experienced Richard's driving. But I hope his good.

We reached at a hotel named 'Venus Hotel and Breakfast' half an hour later.

"Are you sure this is 5 stars?" Mom asked.

"Could you just shut up and get your butt out of the car?" Richard ordered.

"I guess somebody's cranky," Mom muttered. Mom is a little bit playful with Richard and she doesn't tend to get angry at Richard quickly even though Richard was being rude to his employer.

*

We entered the lobby which is quiet impressive with the lights, the candles (I didn't know why they needed candles since they already have lights), the floor and other things.

The manager said that our room was at the second floor, room number 168,169 and 170. There were three rooms. One room for my parents, one for me and one room for Richard.

"What? Our room is at the second floor? How boring," Mom muttered.

*

My room's number is 169. I entered it and switched on the lights and there was a single bed with a TV and a coffee machine and all sorts of stuff. I unpacked my stuff, wait, I have no stuff since I left Dare Manor empty handed. All my stuffs were burned in that manor.

So, I lay down my bed while turning the TV on. There had no other fun channels so I turned on the news.

"A massive fire had started and eventually stopped at Avenue Street 54 just now…," the news lady said. That is even more boring than watching a panda bear eating bamboo sticks. So I turned the TV off and made myself a nice mug of coffee.

I looked out of the window to see the view of the city while sipping my coffee. I could also see my reflection on the glass while looking at the view.

Suddenly, the glass of the window broke and my evil clone appeared right in front of me.

"You're coming with me, to die," the clone said.

I screamed in horror and threw the mug of hot coffee to that cheap, stuck up clone at the face.

"What do you want with me?" I asked.

"Your soul," it replied.

I ran to find a knife or any weapon in my hotel room but no such luck.

Suddenly, somebody knocked at the door.

"Elizabeth, are you okay? We heard you screamed," Dad asked.

That creature in front of me was staring at me gruesomely.

"I'm okay dad. It's just…those cockroaches and termites in my room," I lied.

"I told you we should pick another hotel to stay" Mom muttered.

Note: There will be a chapter 3 if I get 5 .
