Jemma hummed to herself as she skated along the polished floor. She had just delivered the last pizza to F-dynasty and was now heading towards the lift. She needed a shower, big time. However Jemma couldn't help but worry a little. She had seen The Shining enough times to know what happens to people who are snowed in. With a lot more people milling around it meant two of two things. Either more people went crazy or more dead bodies turned up. Jemma shook her head. The teams had good heads on their shoulders, why would they go nuts? Jemma musing was shattered when her walkie-talkie gave out a shrill beep.
'Jemma! Jemma, where the hell are you?'
Jemma lazily unclipped her walkie-talkie from her belt and jabbed the call button for the lift. "Jemma here. What's up Bluebell?" She questioned, leaning against the wall. The walkie-talkie gave a crackle.
'Nathan's...Nathan's losing control!'
Jemma's blood ran cold. From that simple reply the english girl knew that things were bad. Nathan wasn't going nuts but it was something close to it. Jemma tried to get her thoughts in order, feeling very unprepared for the news. "Okay, where are you?" She asked. Best thing to do would be to find their location. There were only so many rooms they could be in. Jemma jabbed the lift call button a few more times, cursing the object for it's slow desent.
'Room 302. BBA Revolutions are in here. Jemma...there's something else you need to know.'
Jemma cheered to herself when the lift arrived at her floor. "No time! I'm on the floor below you. You can explain everything when I'm there." Jemma cut off Elizabeta's protest and smacked the button for the next floor. As the lift closed, Jemma tried to calm herself down. She had only seen Nathan lost complete control and it was something she never wanted to relive again. The blader touched her neck lightly before shaking her head. The lift dinged but the doors could not open quick enough. Jemma squeezed herself through and skated down the carpetted floor as best she could.

Nathan felt like his head was going to explode. He couldn't breath either and somewhere in the back of his mind, Chaos was laughing. Shut up! Please just shut up! Nathan begged. He could see the markings on his arms, which he knew was a bad sign. In the background somewhere, Nathan heard someone enter the hotel room. A shadow fell over him before they dropped to their knees.
"Nathan? Nathan look at me."
Nathan let out a small sigh. Nathan slowly turned his head to see Jemma. She gasped a little which only meant that things were much worst. Silence past between them before Jemma slapped the male hard across the cheek. "Get a grip!" she yelled as Nathan hit the floor with a thump. BBA Revolutions looked at each other in shock before Tyson took a step forward. Elizabeta grabbed his arm.
"Hey! Wasn't that a bit un-called for?" Tyson spat before falling silent. Nathan got up and shook his head. Jemma chewed her lip when Nathan refused to look at her. She knew he felt somewhat ashamed and that was what she hated about Nathan. He had a habit on blaming a lot of his problems on himself. Jemma stood up, wobbling slightly, before looking at Elizabeta. She looked shook up and very pale.
"Bluebell? What's wrong?" Jemma questioned. Elizabeta chewed her lip before pointing to the opening bedroom door. Jemma slowly skated over to the room, ignoring Hiro's protest. Jemma stared in shock at what she saw. Bile rose in her throat but Jemma swallowed it and turned round. Her attention was drawn to the writing on the mirror, which caused her to frown. Shaking her head, Jemma turned her attention to Tyson and his team. "On behalf of The Sky-line hotel, I'm offering you a brand new room." Jemma began. Hiro frowned a little.
"Can you do that?" he questioned. Hiro was pretty sure that Jemma's father was the manager, not her. Jemma nodded her head. "Okay then. What about our stuff?" Hiro added. Jemma glanced to Kenny who looked the most shook up.
I don't blame him. If he had turned the light on... Jemma thought before dismissing her musing. "Me and May-lin will deliver your stuff to you once you're settled in." Jemma smiled a little in comfort before looking at Elizabeta. "Bluebell. Can you take the team down to reception and give them a new swipe card. I think there is a room left on the floor below." Jemma ordered. The scottish girl nodded her head and led BBA Revolutions out of the room.
"I'm sorry."
Jemma glanced down to Nathan who had yet to get up. Jemma sighed a little and held out her hand. "Don't be. It's not your fault." she replied. Nathan glanced up to her, noticing her out-streatched hand. "Come on. There's no use staying here. You go and get my father. I'll get May-lin." Jemma added. Nathan nodded his head and took Jemma's hand. The smaller british girl hauled her friend up before the two left the room.

Jemma hadn't even gotten out of the shower when her hotel room phone rang. Cursing whoever was on the other line, Jemma towel dried her hair and grabbed her brush before picking the phone up. "Hello?"
'Jemma, it's Lin. There's something here that you need to see.'
Jemma frowned. May-lin sounded very serious. Swapping her phone into her other hand, Jemma to brush her hair. "What? Another body?" she questioned. Jemma hoped that another body hadn't been discovered. There came a shuffling sound from the other end. Then a small ewww! which came from Elizabeta.
'No, but there's something strange happening in The Room. It's best if you see for yourself.' May-lin replied. Jemma sighed a little. She didn't have time to tell May-lin she would when the chinese girl ended the call. Jemma didn't mind as such but why did the room have to play up now? Grabbing two hair bands, Jemma tied her hair up and exited her room.

Aarong stretched as he left his hotel room. Claude had warned him to be careful while Mathilda had pleaded with him not to go. Aaron had told them he was only going to the lobby to see how bad the snow was. Miguel had to pull Mathilda off him as she refused to let go.
As Aaron got closer to the lobby, he shivered a little. With no-one at the front desk, things seemed a little spooky. "Get a grip!" Aarong scolded and carried on. He passed a large marbel statue that stood in the middle of the lobby, when something large and black slammed into his face. Aaron flew backwards, groaning slightly before blacking out. A figure stood over him, smirking a little.
"Silly little boy. Should have listened to your team mates." the figure laughed before dragging Aaron's still form.

"What's all the fuss?"
Elizabeta, Nathan and May-lin glanced towards Jemma as she made her way over to them. A lot of her outfits have always been different, but the one she was currantly wearing took the cake. Jemma wour a thin-strapped tank top which did little to hide the black bra she wour underneath, and a very short mini skirt. Nathan felt his cheeks heat up again but he shook his head and pointed to the door. Jemma looked at the door. "One of the maids went to clean the room below before noticing a stain on the ceiling. Any ideas?" he asked.
"Yeah. Just after my dad brought the place, he found a dead body in this room. It had been here for 2 months." Jemma shuddered a little. Stepping closer, Jemma peered at the blood that ran down the door. "We got the body removed but I think it is replaying the whole thing over again, including the stain on the ceiling in the room below."
"2 months? The hotel was on sale for 2 months." Elizabeta pointed out, keeping her distance. Jemma nodded her head. She glanced at Nathan as something gave a loud moan from inside the room.
"How long has it been like this?" she questioned looking back at the door. Nathan shrugged a little.
"Just noticed it. I dunno what's got the room so worked up but we don't need this kind of crap at the moment." Nathan mumbled. Jemma frowned again.
Thanks to Lili for her review!
