Lincoln loud was a successful adult man, he was the kind of person who did not care about others if they bothered him to achieve his goals, the classic successful businessman who everyone would call heartless or unethical, the Lincoln's life was perfect or it was until life decided to give him a cheap blow

22. Chapter 22 Halloween

The entire family was gathered at that time at the Loud family home, although Lincoln was buying candy at the Super Mart with his daughters Edie and Reina.
So in charge of the decorations and the house were Lynn, Leni, Lori and Ronnie Anne along with their children, who were very excited for this night in which the young people would go out trick-or-treating, although it was also because they would be forced to their new father to go with them.

Lori: okay guys, let me see those pumpkins –Lori approached the living room table where some of the young people from the house were making faces on the pumpkins with some blades that they were given–

Some showed the faces of their pumpkins when Lori spoke to them, others were giving them a few final touches and then turning them around showing their different pumpkins and with a different type of paint that served to look like blood.

Lacy with a smile showed a pumpkin somewhat grown on the sides, which had somewhat small eyes and a smile that occupied the entire front, in addition to having placed some red paint in its mouth to make it look like it was blood coming out. from his mouth and covered his teeth.

Lynn the 3rd took one of the most perfect pumpkins she could find, which she decorated so that it had perfectly aligned eyes and a perfectly placed open mouth. It had taken longer than her brothers/cousins because she had been calculating with a ruler where they had to include the eyes, nose and mouth.
Then she placed some blood on the eyes and nose so that it looked like it was coming out of her sockets.

Bobby Jr had taken a slightly deformed pumpkin, he had not put much effort into giving it a perfect shape, it had 3 eyes and a mouth with vampire teeth, he put dripping red paint only on these teeth.

Bed had taken a pumpkin smaller than his brothers/cousins and decorated it with big round eyes and a sad looking mouth, with some green paint coming out of his mouth.

Lyle had taken a somewhat rotten pumpkin so he could make holes in the sides as if his head had been broken, he drew a big eye and a small one together to make it look viscous, then with the knife he drew a smile that took up his entire face like if it were the joker's.
Placing the red paint on the holes he made and deforming them so that they looked like they were punched.

Lori: Wow, they all look very good, they will surely scare many –Lori praised them all, showing a kind smile, while she approached Bed to caress his head, making the young woman laugh lightly–

Bobby Jr: mine is the best, just look at it, it will surely scare a lot of fools! –Bobby Jr. lifted her pumpkin, placing it in front of his head, moving it as if it were a head–

Lacy: blood scares more, that's why nothing beats my bloody pumpkin - Lacy proudly climbed onto the chair and placed one foot on the table, showing with both hands the pumpkin that was in front of her on the table -

Lyle: haaa... Your pumpkins are nothing compared to mine, just look at this... –Lyle proudly showed the holes in his pumpkin, spinning it around as if it were a parade–

All the young people began to argue about which was the best pumpkin, the only one who didn't say anything was Bed who, upon seeing the fight, walked away from the table and went to help his older sisters.
Lari was putting up the living room decorations next to Loan's sister, although Loan was now in front of her finishing the last arrangements.

Bed: can I help you? –Bed asked Lari that, pulling her clothes, looking at her a little nervous because she spoke little with the eldest Lari–

Lari: of course, look, I need you to take that box with cobwebs and take it to Loan, help her finish outside because it's taking a long time -Bed told her that, showing her a slight smile, bending down to show her and point out the box she had to carry. –

Bed took that as something of utmost importance, so nodding he agreed to do it, walking quickly towards the box he took it by the sides placing his fingers on the bottom as support, thus beginning to move with the box on top towards the front.
On the way she passed her aunt Lynn who was carrying the supplies she went to buy in a hurry. Lynn passed by stroking her young niece's head and then as she passed through the living room she greeted everyone, including Lori who was still helping the young people. with the pumpkins and decorations.

Lynn: It's here! Here I brought what they asked me for! –Lynn entered the kitchen carrying two paper bags in her left hand, only to then leave them on a medium round table that they brought from the basement, they had arranged it to have more space to accommodate things–

Leni and Ronnie Anne were in the kitchen preparing the evening's meal, although the young people were going to look for sweets, it was planned that they would return early so that they could eat something and then tell each other horror stories, it would be something like a family night.

Leni: great, we're almost out of cream - Leni said that, showing as always that warm smile, which made everyone smile too, they hadn't seen Leni this happy in a long time -

Ronnie Anne: Leni, please prepare the cream... We need it to decorate the horror cakes –Ronnie said that while taking the last cake out of the oven, that was going to be one of the floors for the huge cake with horror decoration. terror-

Lynn: Let me help you Leni –Lynn approached Leni standing next to her starting to take things out of the bag, she needed to learn to cook so the best thing for her was to be in the kitchen–

Lina: can I help? –A young woman with white hair with a light blue line asked that to Lynn, approaching her somewhat embarrassed, she even felt some guilt for having run away from her house –

Lynn: of course, the more you help the better - The woman approached the little girl, lifting her up to place her on a chair, being challenged by Ronnie Anne who told her that this would dirty the chair, even so Lynn did not give it any importance, laughing with the little girl. Lina–

While everyone in the kitchen and living room was preparing for Halloween night, little Bed left the house through the front door watching Loan standing on a chair on the porch arranging some cobwebs in a corner next to a column. , she didn't have any more so when Bed approached her with more fake web it was like a lifesaver.

Loan: oh g-thank you Bed... -Although Bed fell to him like a miracle, it also scared him how suddenly from behind him he said "Here" in a very neutral way, now he felt what his parents and uncles felt with Lucy , so his response was somewhat scared – ... Take ... T-those to the girls

Loan pointed out the corn maze so that Bed would know where to go, but before she left he patted her head in gratitude, little Bed showed him an animated smile and once again carrying the box she began to walk towards the corn maze. corn that was in front of the garage, occupying the entire entrance.
Upon reaching the entrance he observed how the corn was as big as his father's or even taller, so with some fear; She inhaled and exhaled to gain courage, when she managed to calm her fears she began to walk entering the maze, she was moving for a few minutes inside and with every second she felt more afraid of being lost, that is until she finally met Rochelle and Liena who They were preparing a scarecrow of terror.

Rochelle: bed, what are you doing here? Why do you look like you're going to cry? –Rochelle asked her that when she noticed her carrying a box in her hands and with crystalline eyes–

Bed: hiccup...I thought...Hip...I got lost –Bed burst into tears, dropping the box to the ground, starting to run towards Liena–

Liena: calm down now... –Liena said that, bending down to hug the little Bed, only to then stand up carrying her in her arms, caressing her back so that her fear would go away–... You found us, you're here. except

Rochelle, seeing the scene of Bed crying and Liena comforting her, could only scratch her head showing a slight expression of surprise and confusion, the maze was not that big and you could guide yourself to the exit if you look at where the house is.

Rochelle: I think they shouldn't let Bed in here anymore... –Rochelle said that as she approached the box lying on the floor, standing it up so that the hole was pointing upwards and she could put the fake cobwebs inside–. ..Let's finish this and come back, Bed looks very scared

At what Rochelle said, Liena nodded, understanding that perhaps Bed was afraid of corn mazes, so while Liena took care of the small and scared Bed, Rochelle was in charge of placing the last decorations to the maze, sometimes they had to move from point to point. , but so that Bed wouldn't be scared, Liena always carried her on top of her, although after a while the little girl stopped crying and looked curiously at what Rochelle was doing.

Halloween Afternoon

The sun was already beginning to set on the horizon of the city of Royal Wood.

Some people from the Super Mart were already leaving the Supermarket while others entered in a hurry for perhaps various reasons; lack of candy, some last minute costume or for the lonely maybe just rent some movies to spend his lonely night, Lincoln to see those men enter the huge Supermarket he could only sigh with nostalgia remembering how many times he spent Halloween watching movies in his Suit, Although sometimes I also attended adult costume parties, those were lively Halloween parties.

Edie: What are you looking at? Dad – the young woman with brown hair with a line dyed dark blue, she asked that to her "father" while she placed the last paper bag with supplies inside the back seats –

The entire Vanzilla was full of bags of things they would need for tonight, there couldn't be any leftover candy since many children would surely go to their house to ask for candy, but since there were so many bags they had to fit all the bags in the two rows of seats. in the back, leaving the front row of seats that was behind the driver and passenger seats free.

Lincoln had been watching nostalgically as a single man entered the supermarket, beginning to have old memories of his single life, until he heard his daughter; although it could be said that she was a daughter by law or obligation of universes, which she asked him what she was looking at while she closed one of the back doors of the vanzilla

Lincoln: oh nothing, I just remembered old things –Lincoln said that, stopping observing the supermarket, only to then look at Edie showing a simple smile as he walked towards the vanity, approaching the driver's side door–

Queen: You can stop talking now, I want to leave here, I need to prepare my costume! –Queen, she opened the door on the right side of the minivan, leaning out, placing her feet inside the van while she placed her arms on the roof, yelling at her sister and her father –

Edie: Aren't you too old to dress up? –young Edie asked Reina that when she saw her so upset with the idea of returning quickly–

Queen: You are never too old to dress up –Queen pointed at him with the index finger of her right hand while she answered his question without any shame–

Lincoln: Edie, what's happening is that Reina wants to go trick-or-treating to get free candy.

Lincoln said that while laughing a little at the scene of Queen being very excited about going trick-or-treating, to which Queen would react by returning inside the vehicle so that it wouldn't be obvious that what she really wanted was free candy, Edie just laughed. somewhat mocking when she saw that her "father" discovered why she wanted to return home quickly.
Although her expression changed to one of surprise when she saw how her father did not get into the car, but walked next to her, passing through the front, opening the passenger door, entering through that part, sitting on the seat. the companion's place.

Edie: am what are you doing? Dad – Edie, she crouched down a little so she could see her father sitting in the passenger seat, while she placed her left hand on the open door and her right on the roof –

Lincoln: You told me you didn't know how to drive, so... I'll teach you –Lincoln told her that, showing her an animated smile, urging her to learn to drive and take them home–

Reina upon hearing that; With a pale expression she settled in the middle of the back seat, adjusting her seatbelt quickly with great fear, only to then begin to see if she could put on the other seatbelts, although it was impossible because they didn't go that far.

Queen: Do you have a motorcycle helmet or something that keeps my head from breaking when we crash? –Queen, she looked behind and down the seats looking for something to protect her head–

Hearing that and seeing Reina very scared, Edie felt a little nervous, but seeing how her father wanted to teach her how to drive, taking some courage from the bottom of her heart, she would enter the vehicle, closing the door after sitting down and putting on her seat belt. resting her hands on the steering wheel while looking at her father, who also adjusted his seat belt and watched her.

Edie: Now what do I do? –Edie asked him that while she was waiting for him to show her what she should do now, how to start and what to do next–

Meanwhile, Reina in the back seats began to pray and move her head forward, begging death not to be working today and beginning to see her young life in her mind; she didn't even have her first time

The vanzilla arrived at the loud house at high speed, stopping suddenly before hitting the tree in the front yard, hitting the vanzilla on the sidewalk and causing it to interrupt the passage of people.
Quickly a back door on the right side opened, letting out a frightened queen who fell to her knees on the ground, beginning to kiss and hug him as if he were gold or desert water.

Queen: land! Beautiful land! I'm not going to go anywhere with that crazy woman anymore! –Queen, she said that, moving away from the van, reversing, while she pointed to the entire vehicle and then to the driver Edie–

Lincoln: ah come on... Don't be so dramatic –Lincoln took off his belt only to then open the door, watching as Reina acted as if she were a cat that had just been wet–

2

Edie: How did I do it? –Edie placed the handbrake so that the vehicle would not move anymore, as her father instructed her, only to then look at Lincoln nervous that she had driven badly or in a very crazy way–

Lincoln: well, you are an expert in fleeting... But, we still have to train your way of driving like a civilian... –Lincoln told her that while he got out of the vehicle, closed the door and began to walk around the vehicle, to then open the driver's side door–...You did great

Edie: ... -she was surprised to see how her father said that to her, showing a smile, so she got out of the car after taking off her seat belt, and quickly gave him a hug, pressing her face and head to her father's neck. height–...Thank you, dad

Lincoln simply returned the hug with affection, he understood how important it was for someone to learn to drive with a father or mother, he still remembers when his mentor taught him to drive; Although in reality he only used him as an unpaid driver, without a dental plan or medical insurance.

Lincoln: well, enough of the hugs... Reina, help Edie unload everything... I'll park the vanzilla

Lincoln separated from Edie so she could help Queen; Both together opened the back doors on the right side and began to take the bags inside, it was obvious that Reina was still angry at the abrupt and fast way that her older sister Edie drove, making the young woman laugh a little at the embarrassment, even He has a long way to go before he understands that he shouldn't press the accelerator all the way, although at least he knows how to control the changes.

After the girls unloaded all the bags, which were mostly full of snacks and sweets, Lincoln settled into the driver's seat and, releasing the handbrake, began to drive the vehicle to settle it somewhere that would not be in the way, at the same time. He finally left it a few meters from the house on his side of the street, behind two other vehicles.

Lincoln: well, I've finished parking that monstrosity... –Lincoln said that, opening the front door of the house, being surprised to see how inside a large part of his daughters were already dressed up and some were preparing their costumes–... Woow Does anyone take Halloween seriously?

Lacy: Dad! ... –the young woman with brown hair would move from her place running towards her father, previously she was watching how Aunt Leni was preparing the costumes for her sisters/cousins in the living room–…Look at the costume What did my aunt do to me?

Lacy stopped in front of Lincoln who was already closing the door, only to then take a quick turn showing that she was wearing a light blue dress from the 90s, as well as long white stockings that reached almost to her knees, as well as a small flower-shaped headband that held her hair on the left side of her head and some old shoes from that time, which Leni got for her.
Lincoln did not understand why Lacy dressed up as a young woman from past decades, until he saw that Lynn 3rd caught up with her, standing next to her, showing that she was dressed just like her. When he saw them well, he laughed when he noticed that they were dressed as the Grady twins. from the movie "the shining"

Lynn 3rd: We thought it would be good for us to go with the Grady twins, because of the similarity between the two -Lynn 3rd stood next to her sister Lacy, receiving a hug from her sister Lacy out of emotion, the dresses looked great on them and they They looked like the twins from the movies, except they had dark brown hair.

Lincoln: They looked great, I guess it's all thanks to Leni.

Lincoln said that as he approached the living room, observing how Leni was completely focused on making Edie a dress, then they would only have to make Lina, Liena and Loan's.
When Lincoln entered the room he was surprised with everyone already wearing his costume, wanting to show it to his father.

Bobby Jr: look dad, I look super cool! –Bobby Jr was one of the first to show what he was dressed as, which was a complete Deadpool suit, the only thing that allowed him to know that it was Bobby Jr was that he had the Deadpool mask on his head like a hat–

3

Lyle: I look cooler than you! –Lyle pushed Bobby Jr to the side stopping in front of his father showing that he was dressed as Wolverine, or well that's what they made him believe, as a joke Bobby Jr told his aunt Leni that Lyle wanted to dress up as Wolverine's daughter and then everyone His sisters, following the joke, made Lyle believe that what he was wearing was one of the many outfits that Wolverine wore in his alternate versions.

5

Seeing Lyle appear excited about having some slightly feminine tight clothing, with a black hair wig and having two claws coming out of his hands, Lincoln clearly realized that he was disguised as Wolverine's daughter, Kirika.
But, well it was his son's decision so he simply showed him a kind smile.

Lincoln: of course, you look super cool... And if someone tells you that you can't act the way you like, tell them that it's your life - Lincoln, misunderstanding everything, stroked Lyle's head thinking that he had already accepted his sexuality. , making Lyle look at him confused for not understanding what he was talking about and Bobby Jr. covered his mouth trying to laugh–

Bed: And I look good? –The youngest of the family approached her father, looking very embarrassed waiting for her father's response, the costume she was wearing was that of a little witch, which looked super cute on her–

Lincoln: you look very cute, I'm sure you'll get a lot of candy

Lari: I think that too – A young woman almost identical to Lori stood behind Bed stroking her hair, her costume was that of a witch too, but she seemed more flirtatious and provocative –

Lincoln was surprised to see what Lari chose, causing Lari to smile at him in a flirtatious way when their eyes met, making Lincoln not understand why she was looking at him that way, even so that did not last long because Rochelle suddenly appeared next to him. Lari placed her hand on the blonde's cheek and pushed her face so she wouldn't look at her father like that.

7

Rochelle: back inciting... -Rochelle told him that, showing that she was still wearing her usual clothes, although she was made up so well that she looked like a Zombie, apparently she only told her aunt Leni to make her look like she just came out of a grave–...You took a long time, if you were going to do it next time let me know

Lincoln: I'm sorry, I was teaching Edie how to drive –Lincoln apologized, scratching his head, showing a slight smile, he had already gotten used to Rochelle being somewhat possessive with her time–

Rochelle: Edie? I understand about her... -her gaze was guided towards the young Edie who looked like Leni towards the costumes, making Edie feel a chill run down her spine -...I'll talk to her

While Rochelle walked away from them and Lari played with little Bed, another of her children approached, this time it was Reina who had already changed her costume and quickly wanted to show it to her father.

Queen: look at me and worship me! –Queen said that, raising her hands showing that she had disguised herself as death, the skull mask was very realistic and the black cloak looked discarded or old, with the lower part somewhat torn to make it look like a worn cloak, then at her side leaning against the wall was his prop Scythe–

Lincoln simply laughed that she seemed so excited, only to then walk away from her, pretending that he was afraid of her, and entered the kitchen.
After that she was helping as much as she could and talking to her children, she needed to know that everyone would be careful when going out, the eldest Lari, Loan, Rochelle and Edie would be escorts for the others, mostly taking care of Bed and Lina, bed because she was the smallest and Lina because she was not used to Royal Wood which would make her easily get lost.

Halloween night

It was already almost 11 at night, the young people had left a few hours ago to ask for sweets throughout the city, while the Adults stayed at home to continue preparing everything for when the young people return and it is time for the activities in family, although they knew that their children would surely be back soon, something that not even the climatologist knew, some sudden black clouds formed in the city of Royal Wood after a slight blackout throughout the city, that created an air of terror and mystery, although surely it was just a sudden normal rain, or so it was thought at first until it began to be so strong that its drops made noise as they hit the street and the roof of the house.

Lynn: I hope the boys arrive soon, they will surely be very wet -Lynn said that, watching the rain fall from the living room window that was behind the television, the costume she was wearing was one that she chose together with Lincoln's, she She had dressed up as Morticia Addams.

1

Ronnie Anne: Lincoln already went to look for them in the car, who would say that he would have reason to go for them before the weather got worse -Ronnie was sitting on the couch eating some red popcorn with melted candy that looked like blood, her costume was La Llorona, although she did not look very scary, since Ronnie Anne asked Leni not to make her look like a horrible woman–

Lori: Well, everyone, those who are inside their houses and those who are not - Lori was going down the stairs after having turned off the lights upstairs to save the light, she was dressed as a vampire queen like on a Halloween they had when she was young-

1

Suddenly a light illuminated the clouds and then a roar continued echoing throughout the town. After that, Leni appeared coming out of the common room to the kitchen. She was dressed as a female Santa Claus, but her sisters, seeing that she was wrong, told her. They made some changes to make it look like a Christmas horror movie Santa Claus.

8

Leni: God, what a scare, I hope the kids are okay –Leni approached the little table in the middle of the sofa and the television, carrying a tray with more popcorn and some desserts, leaving it on the table—

After a few minutes, the four of them heard the vanzilla arrive quickly, stopping in front of the house, opening the door on the right, letting all the young people run out through the rain. Lori opened the door, letting everyone enter.

Lina: how cold! –The little girl with white hair with a light blue streak said that while hugging herself, she was dressed as a skeleton like her mother did one Halloween–

Edie: that storm appeared suddenly - the young brunette stood next to Lina, feeling like her Jason costume was somewhat wet from the rain, the mask was on the side of her head and it looked more like a female Jason costume -

Loan: and... the light cut... made it look more like a horror movie -Loan entered with everyone else, speaking somewhat brokenly due to the cold, dressed as the Slasher Susie with the wooden blade and a mask without eyes or faces, only cooked scars–

1

Liena: at least dad found us at Eat Dinner Coffee – Liena was the last to enter, followed by Lincoln, the costume she was wearing was that of a murderous clown, although of the female gender –

Lincoln: It was something difficult, I found them by luck.

The one who entered last behind Liena was a man with black hair combed back without a single disheveled or loose hair, he had a fake mustache on his face that was identical to the one in his latest movies, this person was Lincoln Loud disguised as Homer Addams a well-known character, he had not planned to dress up but Lynn insisted that he put on that costume and although he flatly refused, they forced him to wear it, although now it was ruined by the rain that wet everything causing the non-permanent black paint to start to peel off. fall from his hair, making him look something terrifying because he looked like a killer from a stormy movie.

Lori: well guys, those who are wet can take off their costumes... I don't think anyone will come with this storm and I don't think you'll go out either –Lori said that, applauding when she saw that some had their costumes ruined by the rainwater, which which many obediently went up the stairs to put on something more comfortable and then go down to count sweets or eat something–

Rochelle: I don't get wet, but I want to remove my zombie makeup –Rochelle said that while going up the stairs to the bathroom on the second floor, to remove the makeup from her face with water and then use the towel–

After all the young people took off their costumes or makeup, all except Bed and Edie, Edie because she only had to take off her wet clothes and Bed because everyone covered her from the rain, so her costume was not wet, Then Lina changed her costume, which was wet, but she still had the skeleton makeup on her face.

When all the young people finished taking off their wet costumes or makeup, they gathered in the living room of the house where Ronnie Anne was watching a movie and Lynn seemed very excited to see what candy they got, Leni and Lori on the other hand were just watching the movie. animated scene showing happy smiles, sometimes he challenged someone who stole other people's candy, although that didn't matter because all the candy would be shared among everyone; direct orders from Lori so no one could disobey them

Lincoln: well guys, did you get a lot of candy? –The albino asked that while sitting on the sofa for one person, being a little surprised that Lynn sits next to him on one of the armrests, now being to the right of him stroking his hair as if it were a game –

Bobby Jr: well, although Lyle cheated... Some boys approached him and gave him their candy - Bobby Jr said that, looking annoyed while pointing at Lyle who was still somewhat disguised as Wolverine's daughter -

4

Lyle: It's your damn fault! They thought she was a girl because of this silly costume! –Lyle later when the rain had already started he found out that his costume was not of Wolverine, but rather of his daughter –

3

Lari: feminine charms are a weapon, young padawan –Lari said that to Lyle, pretending to have Yoda's voice, while looking at him in a mocking way–

Lyle reacted very upset to what Lari said, throwing some candy at her, making everyone, including Lari, laugh. After that, Leni began to turn off the lights in the house and also the television, only for Lori to later turn on the fireplace without any problem as it was a gas one with logs that are only for decoration, but that must be changed over time

Lincoln: wow, what's going on? –The albino said that, surprised to see that the entire house was dark, the only light came from the fireplace of the house and Lari's cell phone that illuminated his face–

Lynn: We were talking to Lori and the others about doing something when the kids get back, so we thought it would be really fun to tell horror stories – Lynn said that, changing places, going from sitting on the armrest to sitting on the legs. of Lincoln, looking at him animatedly–

Lynn's act of sitting on Lincoln's lap quickly received some looks of annoyance, Ronnie Anne because she noticed that she was responding to what Lori did yesterday of wanting to move on with Lincoln in the morning, while Rochelle because she knew that her Aunts and her mother were starting another battle for their father, already ruining a father, she was not going to allow them to break this one, then Leni looked at them smiling animatedly happy at how well they got along, but thinking that she could do that too ; A great shame invaded her and while she sat next to her children, she covered her face, avoiding letting out a cry of emotion.

Lori: well, since everyone is in their places... –Lori said that when she saw that everyone settled somewhere in the room, the sofas were not for many, but Loan sat on the right armrest of the large sofa and others sat on the floor, next to the light table to be close to the fried foods or sweets–...Who wants to start with a horror story?

No one said anything for a few minutes, everyone looked at each other, until an excited Lacy raised her hand speaking so she could tell the first horror story.

Lacy: Me! I! I! ... –She repeated that moving her hand, while she was sitting on the sofa next to Loan who was sitting on the armrest, then upon hearing that she could tell her horror story, she excitedly began to speak while showing a face that seemed to want to give terror– ...Well, now I will tell you all a story that I like to call...

The Bloody Resort

It was a sunny summer afternoon, the Weeping Willow had already opened its doors for people to stay, as always that Resort was known in Royal Wood for its proximity to a lake that was connected to Lake Michigan, also for its luxurious amenities and its punctuality system, where no client could ever arrive late after booking.

Oscar: He's here, boss.

Roperto: We couldn't believe it until we saw it, so we quickly went to let him know... For me, this is serious.

Derek: Stop acting weird, show me what's serious enough to make me come to this horrible forest.

Two Mexican workers from the Resort had gone to look for the Resort manager, their boss, because they had found something again, weeks ago someone had been leaving animal corpses around the place, at night they broke into the Resort; She moved things or took things, sometimes the cleaning people complained, completely scared because they said they felt like someone was watching them when they were doing their tour of the Resort. One of them said that once while cleaning a room she heard something in a closet and said She sensed that someone was inside, staring at her.
Now was no exception, the two men in charge of maintaining the Resort's fields took the boss to the forest furthest from the Resort, where what they showed him surpassed all the jokes that had been played on them these weeks.

Derek: Damn... What a stinker.

Roperto: our father who is in heaven, protect us from all evil...

Oscar: you see boss, we have to call the authorities... This joker is a lunatic

Derek was covering his mouth with a rag while a very scared Roberto prayed in a low voice. What the three of them were seeing was a huge statue made of animal bones with an ox head. What kept him standing were cables that were connected. He had stolen from the Resort that they kept him standing next to the trees, making him look like an imposing monster, the stench that was in the air was the bones on the ground, the animals rotting and the same statue made of animals, he had not done it with hygiene or planning to make it look scary, it looked scary because it seemed like he made it without any care, he killed some animal and then ripped out its bones to arrange them in the humanoid statue of bones.

1

Derek: You're crazy, it's summer! I can't close the Resort just because some crazy guy starts making bad jokes!

What Derek was saying was something that many businessmen would say, if he closed the Resort Derek's superiors would fire him or make him pay in some way, he couldn't close the place, which would happen if the police found out about this.

Oscar: sir, I'm telling you this for your safety and that of the guests... Close the place, let's go, I'm sorry, Mr. Derek.

Derek: what?! They go! Damn cowards! We won't give you a cent!

Derek yelled that at them while his two employees were leaving, it was not something new, many already quit due to this feeling of danger or harassment, causing the new ones to be prohibited from doing some things or not being told about some other things, one of the prohibitions. It was never to move alone at night outside the Resort, then never to go to the basement where the boilers were alone, the new employees and those who were still working were given a companion, that way that prankster would be sure not to approach them. to bother.
Derek, after returning to the Resort, would send some employees to ask if they needed the money and could not give up cleaning it, something he could not do due to the large arrival of new guests, which made him forget about that insignificant issue, after all. No one would go to that forest so no one would see that.

Lori: Hi, I'm Lori Fidsheral from room 246... could you tell me if anyone asked for me or left a message?

Leni: I'm sorry, no one left us anything... Except this letter that tells you to go to the lake, I'm really sorry.

Lori: am... It doesn't matter

The 29-year-old woman, hearing the employee named "Leni" say that while pulling out a pink card from under her counter, made her look very confused, only to later remember that this same girl was the one who once gave her oil. instead of suntan lotion, so without giving it much importance she just took the letter and walked towards the lake, while reading the beautiful love letter that her boyfriend Bobby left for her.
While the woman was walking away from the place, leaving the reception through the main entrance, a 24-year-old girl who worked as a cleaner at the Resort approached the counter, standing next to the clients, watching as Lori left alone and then supporting Her hands on the counter began to exert force, climbing onto the counter, sitting on it with her feet in the air and her legs crossed so that people could not see down her long skirt. She was dressed as a maid just like all the cleaning women, but her personality and attitude were not those of a good servant

Lynn: Was that the golfer from 246?

Leni: yes, the poor thing seemed to be waiting for someone to leave her something... even so they only left her a pink letter

The cleaning lady named Lynn just watched her, showing her a friendly smile only to then observe that the manager of the place, Derek, was already approaching very furious, making her jump forward and prepare to escape.

Lynn: jum... it's my time to escape, don't change Leni, you are a sun in my bitter afternoons haha

After saying that, Lynn quickly ran away to prevent the bitter and stupid Derek from giving him another sanction or telling him to stop lazing around, which he was never going to do because if he didn't have fun he was sure to commit suicide in this boring place. employment, Leni on the other hand, upon hearing what he said, showed him a beautiful smile and said goodbye to her friend.

On the 6th floor of the Resort a family was just getting settled, the parents were already getting comfortable in their double room, the teenage daughter was occupying one of the beds in the children's room, then the two 13-year-old twins had moved in. escaped from family room 283, they were small so their parents had told the 17-year-old to take care of them, which she didn't do because she was texting with her boyfriend, who told her that he was going to the resort to spend something time with her secretly

Ronnie Anne: Rochelle, where are your brothers?

Lincoln: I don't see them in the kitchen or in the living room watching television.

Rochelle: You already looked at the room, you should be there.

By saying that without taking her eyes off her cell phone, Rochelle made her parents look at her very upset for not knowing where her little brothers were, so they quickly took her cell phone away, so that she would have a good reason to bring her little brothers, Rochelle took it from her. very reluctantly, but still he had no choice but to go look for his little brothers.

They were walking around the Resort exploring or just having fun touching everything, even once when they were about to get out of an elevator they pressed all the buttons so that the next person who entered had to stop on each floor because of those two.
In all their exploration, moving throughout the Resolt, the unruly children unknowingly ended up reaching the reception floor, more specifically in the workers' part, where some went to rest or where there were several corridors that led to the employee elevators or the front of the hotel, but also overlooked the rear warehouse where supplies were unloaded

And in all their ignorance and curiosity the young people found the only entrance to the basement of the Resort, also how would they know that entering was dangerous, no person told them about the macabre prankster who walks around the Resort harassing and playing bad jokes on people, it was unthinkable. that those children who were browsing throughout the Resort would stop just now when they reached the strangest and most incredible part of the huge place, perhaps they were a little afraid, but the sense of adventure was greater, making the first to start going down. The boy was on that staircase, being followed by his sister who only gained courage because she was not the first to go down.

Bobby Jr: haha that's scary... look at a rat! hahaha

Queen: That wasn't funny, idiot.

The young brother, while he was going down the stairs, had no greater idea than to play a prank on his sister, quickly shining his cell phone on one side of where his sister was, shouting that there was a rat, making her scared, but then Realizing that it was a very angry joke, I began to push him slightly and slap him hard.
The twins had fun and had an incredible time in the basement, when the lights turned on it was like a factory because of the generators or machines that they did not know about, then there was a door that led to the wine cellar that was attached to this part of the basement, Unlike this place, the wine cellar was busier.
That way the two children were not caught while playing in the basement, thinking they were alone they had a great time; touching buttons, lowering levers or turning the stopcocks, which brought gas or water to the entire Resort, the two children were having a great time, until the little sister noticed that her brother was carefully observing a part where the light did not shine. It turned on and there was such a dense darkness that there didn't seem to be anything there, but it also gave the impression that something was watching them in silence.

Bobby Jr: There's something there, I can see it moving...

Queen: ha ha yes of course, stop joking... I won't believe that

Bobby Jr: I'm serious this time, look I'll show you!

The young man told her that there was something there, almost whispering to her with a trembling voice, but then when he was surprised that she did not believe him, he stopped speaking softly and was very upset that she did not believe him. He took out his cell phone again from the pocket of his jacket, while He did that. Reina couldn't help but grab her brother's jacket as if telling him not to do it, maybe it was a joke, but if it wasn't it meant that something or someone was going to come out of the shadows when they were discovered, Bobby Jr. Without paying attention to his brother who asked him to leave, he turned on the flashlight of his cell phone and tried to shine it forward to see if he could see them, but something suddenly hit his hand, causing him to lower his flashlight, shining it towards the ground, and he almost lost it. When his cell phone fell, both brothers with great fear stepped back and, without being able to shine light on the dark part, they observed how an old man with messy hair, clothes that seemed very old and eyes completely lost, he had dark circles under his eyes that let you know that he had not slept in months, in addition to the fact that his hands were completely stained with what seemed to be blood, which had even already dried somewhere.

.– Get out of here... Now

The strange and gloomy man told them that while looking down at them because of their height, only to later see that the children did not seem to leave, with a loud shout take a step forward simply saying Now! making them Both children quickly began to run, going straight to the stairs, while they watched out of the corner of their eye as that man observed the dark part of the basement. Reina, being the fastest, was the first to go up the stairs. On the other hand, Bobby Jr. stopped observing a One last time he looked back at the gloomy man, only to later notice how the lights were going out from the dark part towards the staircase, feeling as if something was advancing towards him and a great fear ran through his body. Without hesitation, he resumed his escape by running. After the queen going up the stairs, when they both reached the end of the stairs, feeling as if something was still behind them with great fear, they closed the door and stood against it, both young people were safe.

Or well, that's what they thought until one of the Resort employees found them and caught them, clearly he didn't believe them that there was someone strange in the basement with their hands covered in blood and a face like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, even so In case they were right and there was another person, he was breaking the manager's rules, so he asked two of his colleagues to go check so that the manager wouldn't end up blaming them, seriously, this job wasn't what he wanted. one would expect.

The two subjects, accepting that request, simply returned to where their partner had arrived with the children. It was after all the fastest way to the entrance to the basement, when they arrived to find out that the light switch was at the bottom of the stairs. They simply turned on the small flashlights that they are given in case there is a power outage or they have to move through a dark place. Both young men who had simply gotten that job because they needed a summer job, advanced slowly down the steps without knowing the history of that Resort, without knowing why the Manager made so many stupid rules about never moving alone at night or in the basement.

.– damn, the lights don't work... sometimes I don't believe this place is what the brochure says

.– all the brochures lie, you go that way and I'll go this way... if we don't find anything, let's just go back

When both young people saw that for some reason the lights did not turn on, they decided to separate to cover more space and see if what the children said was true, one went to the right and the other to the left, neither of them felt afraid because it was simply a basement. dark, what they couldn't see was that the lights were broken, as if someone wanted them off, the young man who went to the right simply walked without much emotion or desire to do this, lighting the front and sometimes the sides, shouting at some moments Come out, nothing bad will happen to you or Damn it, come out, perverts are not welcome here
his search did not seem to lead anywhere until he suddenly heard his companion scream, but it was not a scared scream. followed by an escape and a request for help, was a sudden gasp, which just as it appeared vanished, without hesitation or fear from the young part-time employee of the Resort; He ran out to find and help his friend. He looked for him for a few minutes until the only thing he found was his partner's flashlight and a puddle of blood. The young man, already overcome by fear, thought about calling the police, but when He tried to take out his cell phone, he remembered that they are not allowed to work with their cell phones so they were all kept in a box and they could only take them at the end of the day, the only thing left to do was escape and report this to the others, that damn madman did something to his partner.

A drop fell on his shoulder.

Another drop fell on his shoulder, but was followed by two drops that landed on his head and then ran down his forehead.

The young man felt the two drops hitting his head and then how that liquid ran down his forehead, so to see what it was he raised his left hand with which he was not holding his flashlight, so that with two fingers he could remove that drop that was falling on his forehead. his forehead so that it does not reach his eye, when he illuminated his hand to see that it had fallen on him, his surprise and horror grew when he saw that what he had on his two fingers was blood, something that was impossible not to notice for him. red of its color and the slight biscosity in this

The part-time employee gave a loud scream, only to then point his flashlight upwards, wanting to see what was making the blood drip.

Another scream echoed in the basement, no one ever heard it, the walls of the Resort are very private so that the guests have their privacy, that echo like the first faded away as if it had been a mere auditory illusion, the fate of those two young people. who just wanted to have fun at the Resort meeting pretty girls and drinking alcohol, was simply stopped by something or someone in that basement, the door that led to the basement closed and someone secured it from outside, that person was the same man who He scared the children and yelled at them, that same man was the one who now had his hands stained with fresh blood, not animal blood.

The afternoon passed more quickly than many would like, but for the children who still had what happened in the basement in their heads and did not know what preceded them after the two young men returned, no one had really noticed. That, not even their colleagues who thought that perhaps those two had gone to slack off or avoid work, it was a somewhat busy day and a cloudy night was forecast.
The renowned golfer Leni had spent much of the afternoon with her partner Bobby, a somewhat wealthy gallant man whom she would soon marry. At first glance you could tell that they were a beautiful, very loving couple, two young people of almost 30 years who had been For 4 years together, it was impossible for people to think that one of them did not love the other in a super affectionate and romantic way.

Lie, nothing more than a sad lie.

Lynn: Mr. Santiago, I have to get back to my job...please give me back my shirt

Bobby: only if you give me a kiss before you go

Lynn: you are very childish... you know well that tomorrow when your wife gets careless, you will come to see me

The 24-year-old brunette girl was half naked in a hotel room, one that did not have a tenant so it was perfect for both lovers to secretly commit their terrible carnal crime. It was already nighttime, almost 9:00 p.m. and the Hispanic man had to return to his future wife before he became suspicious, the brunette on the other hand only needed to put on the cleaning shirt that the man was holding up in the air so that she wouldn't reach it, it was simply a lover's game so that She gave him a kiss in exchange for his work shirt. If you're wondering when this started, it was about two years ago. Since then, every time they use this Resort, the Hispanic man already knew who he could kill time with when his wife was busy or when she did not want to have some privacy, on the other hand, the young woman with brown hair and with a very rude attitude at times, did not mind being the lover of a married man, after all she only saw him in the summer and then his wife saw him. He had almost a whole year, well at least that man has other lovers

Lynn: I'm leaving, I have work to do and if that idiot Derek catches me I'll be in trouble... see you later, honey

Bobby: sure, remember to call me if you're free haha

The man was laughing while he was lying on the bed resting his back and head on the pillows, the young brunette had already tidied up the whole place so the only thing left to do was leave, even so Bobby always had the habit of staying for a while after the sexual act, She liked to rest alone, you could say that it was her tradition after sex with lovers, although while she was looking at her cell phone looking at the photos of other of her "friends" from one night, she couldn't help but notice that the room for the little ones something was heard.
At first he didn't give it any importance because it was probably just the wind coming through the window, or so he said so as not to think that someone was watching him, that is until he was suddenly surprised with the door to the young people's room slamming shut. knock and some footsteps, someone had closed the door after having been watching him and he quickly moved to escape, although there was no other exit other than the door that he closed, so he must have hidden somewhere in that room.

Bobby, a proud man with a very bad temperament, would surely not accept that someone had been watching them while they had sex, not only that but he also had to "talk" to that pervert so that he would not tell anyone what he saw.

Bobby: Hey, come out now, I know you're hiding here!

The Hispanic man said that while opening the door that that voyeur had closed, even the very stupid one had not closed it with the lock or locked it with something, maybe he was just a stupid child who had entered out of curiosity and got trapped when they entered Surely he was afraid that they would catch him and tell his parents.
He had seen a couple bring his children, if he was the young man he would surely scare him and make him not tell anyone anything, he was also a child; So if he told him that if he didn't tell anything, he wouldn't talk to his parents, surely he would accept to avoid a reprimand.

Bobby: come on, I won't do anything to you... look, if you go out I won't tell your parents any of this.

He had been looking for the boy in the huge room with 3 beds, trying to convince the young man to come out from wherever he was hiding, then when he mentioned the part about not telling his parents, the door to the closet for clothes and slippers opened slightly. .

Seeing that, Bobby showed a slightly malicious smile, thinking Foolish child confident that he had convinced him, clearly he wouldn't tell his parents, but it would scare him to death so that he wouldn't talk to anyone about what he saw, not even with his sisters.
With the speed he could walk, so as not to scare the child if he saw him approaching running, he moved towards the entrance to the children's dressing room, but when he opened the door, causing the light to automatically turn on, he found nothing, there was no one. inside, but thinking that maybe he was hiding at the back, he decided to go in, there was no reason to be afraid of a child.

Bobby: Come on, I already told you not to tell your parents.

The man was already getting tired of this silly game of cat and mouse, so he very reluctantly walked to the back of the dressing room, and still, he found nothing.
There was no one but him in that place, which was already scaring him, so whoever opened the dressing room door and whoever closed the door with force, he didn't understand anything, but the fear of the unknown began to grow, so who closed it? with force the door? Who opened the door to this dressing room? So when he asked that question, only one thought came to his mind.

They wanted Him to enter that locker room, alone.

With the fear that he already felt, it was enough to tell him to run very quickly and get out of there as soon as possible, to his tragedy when he turned around to leave the dressing room and then out of that room, he froze when he noticed that in the middle At the locker room door was a man with rags and an expression that hadn't slept in a long time. Bobby could only think that he was a damn homeless man, so if it was just that, why wasn't Bobby moving? The answer was that that ragged homeless man had blood on his hands. If he was insane, maybe he had a knife in that right hand that he hid behind the dressing room door.
If money was what he wanted, I would just give him some and then I would notify the manager so that he could be kicked out of the place, but if he wanted to hurt him, well, it wouldn't be easy to hurt a man who trains, has good muscles and has been there for 6 years. Boxing

.- ... I'm sorry

Bobby was preparing for a fight against a lunatic who surely had a knife or something sharp, yet what that homeless man told him surprised him, only to later realize that in his right hand he did not have a weapon, but that he was taking the locker room door handle, Bobby knowing what would happen; He ran forward hoping to stop him, even so that madman closed the door in his face and although he tried to open it, he had already locked it.
Although that would not stop him, he began to push very angrily and kick the door furiously, his anger growing with every second he spent locked up there.

Bobby: When I get out I'll kill you, you hear me! You are dead!

The Hispanic man said this, now hitting the locker room door with his hands and also continuing to push towards the side where it opened, hoping that somehow he would manage to open it, although he also had hopes that his screams would warn someone and that they would get him out. there.

The place was dark, the only way to turn on the light was to keep the door open, so while it was closed the only thing I could see was the dim light that entered the dressing room through the bottom of the door, which was not much light. because of how close the door was to the floor.

So while he saw that light and finished exhausting his last breaths in cries for help or insults, in the silence and darkness of that locker room he noticed something; Suddenly a stinking and putrid smell invaded the dressing room, the first thing he thought was that that homeless man left something on the other side of the door, but then he realized something, that smell came from inside and it was so strong because they were in a place closed without windows or windows, he wanted to understand what caused that smell so he started looking for his cell phone, which also gave him an idea: I can call my wife or maybe Lynn to come back, surely Lynn was better since Leni I would have to explain everything to him.

To his bad luck, his cell phone was on the bed, remembering how he threw it slightly to the side when he heard the footsteps of that "child" running somewhere inside the children's room together with the parents' room and the living room, A person can't help but think when he is alone and without a distraction, that's what Bobby did while he covered his nose with his shirt, lifting it up from the neck, even his perspiration after sex was a better aroma than that stench. And the child? or was it the homeless man? but then...

Who opened the locker room door if that homeless man was outside?

That last question did not receive an answer, but he did receive the feeling that someone was standing up behind him, with strong footsteps that made a noise when they hit the wooden floor that previously blended with the decoration, but that now mattered little.
Bobby couldn't move due to fear and the feeling of not wanting to see what was behind him, and he could feel how that person was breathing on his neck and how his breath was similar or worse to that of that plague, he already found the origin of that pestilence

The homeless man who was outside began to hear how that Hispanic man began to knock on the door, begging that they would open the door and let him out, then those screams became more desperate and scared, he could no longer bear to hear him scream, very afraid. and guilt covered his ears, being surprised by how the door was hit from the inside with more force than before, that began to be repeated while the screams seemed to be of terror and pain, the bad-looking man crouching down, tightly covering his ears. and closing his eyes he began to sing a song that he sang to his son a long time ago.
The screams continued for a few minutes, only to suddenly stop, the man who had locked Bobby stood up watching as a pool of blood began to form from under the door, coming out from inside, staining the wooden floor.

That same person left room 167, closing the door so that no one enters, placing the "clean" card that always hangs on a knob if the room had already been cleaned with someone, for a few minutes he stood looking at the door, alone and then make a simple turn and start walking away, humming the song that he used to sing with all his lungs.

Meanwhile, on the only street that led to the Resort, a 2005 Mustang GT that was driven by a young man at high speed was moving down that dark street heading to the Resort to meet his girlfriend Rochelle, her parents had planned a family vacation in that Resort and they would surely have a great time, but his girlfriend had told him by message that she misses him so it was clear that he had to go, well in reality he didn't tell him with those words that he should go, but Lemy knew that they were indirect like that that a woman threw at you.

Without much caution the young rocker was driving at high speed down the street, he was faster than a galloping horse and even more dangerous, that car at that speed was like a bullet, even Lemy did not have his seat belt on so Clearly if he suffered an accident he would be thrown out of the windshield as if he had been ejected from a plane, but on the plane at least the window opens and you are ejected without hitting it, if Lemy crashed into it he would first hit the windshield and then against the ground or pavement, perhaps against another car if a collision was caused.

But, although many of you surely love a good accident or seeing the irresponsible fool crash, Lemy's luck managed to get him to the Resort safely, parking his vehicle in front of it, noticing that there was no Valet waiting at the entrance, which He supposed it was that perhaps at night they had gone to rest, it was the most possible, no one would wait for people at that time of night, what Lemy did not know was that the Valets had the obligation to be at the entrance waiting for vehicles, until 1 at night.
Not seeing the Valets at the entrance was something very strange and unusual.

When he entered the reception the only thing he found was a blonde woman sleeping standing with her hands together on the counter, she seemed to be very calm and she was a very pretty girl, so approaching in silence he leaned on the counter to see her better. , always being very careful not to wake her, until a voice made the woman wake up and the young man, staring at her, received a sudden slap from the blonde out of fright.

Lori: What are you doing? pervert

Leni: aaaah!

Lemy moved backwards due to the strong slap he received on his left cheek, only to then caress that cheek and watch as the blonde-haired woman who had woken up the receptionist approached them, still looking at him sharply for having been staring. carefully to the pretty receptionist

Lemy: nothing... Ugh, I was just seeing if she was asleep or pretending to sleep

Leni: I'm sorry, really. I'm sorry it scared me.

Lori: whatever, am... Leni, right? ...Did you see my husband?

Leni: the man you came with? No, I'm sorry... Maybe he's at the lake, oh right, he left her a romantic letter... where is he?

The blonde receptionist began to look for the letter that Bobby had left her, forgetting that he had already given it to her or rather not knowing that he had done so, thinking that it was just any letter, Lori hearing that he didn't know where it was and noticing his lack of intelligence, he just sighed slightly, and then observed the unknown young man with the appearance of a rocker who was still standing there looking around the place with curiosity.

It seemed that he was not used to such luxurious places, his appearance was not that of a local guest or someone's son, he was surely one of those young men who came to go with a girl.
I had been at this Resort so many summers that I knew much of everything that happened here, including the visits of young people who came for some teenage guest.

Lincoln: Hello, does anyone know what's going on? I haven't seen anyone except you

Ronnie Anne: We called the cleaners an hour ago, we need someone to tell us why the third floor stinks so much.

Lemy: love!

The family from the third floor arrived at the reception after getting tired of calling for someone to come check on that stench that seemed to come from a nearby room, from the floor above or below.
When the 20-year-old boy with a rocker appearance exchanged glances with his 17-year-old girlfriend, he quickly, without waiting another second, ran towards her, being greeted by the young woman who also ran towards him and jumped, before hugging him, letting him The young man also hugged her by the waist and kept her in the air while spinning, and then lowered her to the ground, leaving them both hugging each other, Lemy hugged her by the waist and Rochelle by the neck.

The young woman's parents could only hear their daughter talking idiotically to that good-for-nothing, they wanted to think that he arrived on his own, but surely she was the one who sent him some messages to come to the Resort.
While the parents, the twins, the receptionist and the golfer Lori watched the romantic scene, the housekeeper Lynn returned to the reception noting that it looked like a gathering of people from the Resort.

Lynn: Has anyone seen Luciana and the others? The cleaning ones

Leni: no, I'll see if the security people know anything.

Leni raised the horn of the reception phone, pressing the button for the safe room, there were only 10 men who were once police officers and who were now in charge of controlling any slight problem, Lynn thought they were kept or had the best job of the world.
When Leni raised the horn and pressed the button, she didn't hear anything and couldn't even hear the dial tone. She didn't understand what was happening or why she couldn't use the Resort phone. She continued pressing all the buttons looking to talk to someone, no one answered. .
It was as if suddenly the entire Resort was empty, with no one but them.

Then while the Receptionist was trying to find out what was happening with the phone, the manager of the place entered the reception very annoyed with his radio in his right hand, that radio was so that he could talk to the maintenance, security or the person in charge of the cleaning, but no one seemed to respond and someone had to see why two of the three elevators were not working, when he arrived with a very upset expression he was surprised to see that some guests were gathered there, in addition to a young unknown man and two of his employees

Derek: What's happening here?

Leni: Mr. Derek, I'm sorry... apparently some guests came to complain about a bad smell in their apartments, I also don't know what's going on, but the phone doesn't work.

Derek: That's impossible, we pay a lot for that phone to work even when we use emergency power.

The manager in charge of the hotel, upset that the receptionist was telling a lie, approached the telephone on the counter, but as she said it did not seem to work, he could communicate with any part of the hotel, although only the waiting tone could be heard, no one answered on the other side. It couldn't be that no one was in his position, it was unlikely.
Leaving the speaker on the phone he tried to reason what was happening, maybe it could be that everyone was watching a football game, but it couldn't be because no one was playing today, so what was happening at his resort, while Derek I tried to reason everything that was happening the guests seemed to feel that something was wrong

Queen: Mom, what is happening?

Ronnie Anne: nothing my little one, there are just some flaws... I'm sure everything will be resolved soon

Queen: Did the bad guy in the basement break something?

Lori: bad guy? What bad guy are you talking about?

When the golfer heard that about a bad guy, she couldn't help but look at her confused and curious, taking just two steps closer to the little girl who was clinging to her mother's legs. She couldn't trust what a child says, but a bad guy. in the basement and that something is happening, it was impossible for it not to be a coincidence.

Derek: God these kids, they sure talk about Jonnathan, who fixes the gas and water pipes... that guy is always scary

Bobby Jr: no, there was a strange guy in the basement... he told us to get out of there, there was also someone else there with him

Leni: They talk about the joker, Mr. Derek.

Derek: Leni, shut up!

Derek yelled at Leni so that she would not continue opening her mouth about a topic that no guest should know about, which caused everyone to know that the children were telling the truth and that the manager seemed to want to hide that. Lori did not hide her anger as did Leni. Lincoln and Ronnie Anne who brought their children to a place like this

Lori: Prankster?! You're saying that a lunatic is walking around this place!

Derek: no, of course not... this Resort is one of the safest in the country, there is no joker or lunatic here

Lynn: He's lying, he made us sign a privacy clause to never tell the strange events in this place.

Lincoln: rare events?

Leni: well, some people quit because they felt that someone was following them or spying on them from the shadows, sometimes someone left us animal corpses in public places and also wrote in paint "get out of here, while you can"

1

Leni told everything that happened as if it were not a big deal, after all the manager told her that it was not a big deal and that it was just some weird teenager's jokes, even so everyone who continued working here knew that this was something. out of the ordinary.
Lori was completely furious with the Manager, as was Lynn and the twins' parents, they couldn't believe that they were hiding those things from them.

Lori: I never heard any of this, how do they prevent people from reporting them?

Lynn: Thank Derek, he makes us clean everything before they wake up or the guests arrive, he knew something bad was happening here and he still didn't notify the authorities.

Derek: ha ha yes, paint me as the bad guy... but well, as long as this bad man gave you your check you would keep the secret happy

Before Derek could finish speaking, the white-haired man would approach him, giving him a strong blow to the face, throwing him to the floor, causing Derek to crash his back against the counter, sitting on the floor, holding on to the counter with his right hand. not fall on your face.

Lincoln: You're a bastard, if I had known about this I would never have brought my family.

Leni: Did Mr. Derek do something wrong?

Lynn: I told you that one day someone would give you what you deserve —Lynn told him that, looking very upset with that stupid Derek, who only cared about money.

Derek: And you? Come on, don't act saintly... do you think the cameras didn't notice how you sleep with some married guests, including Miss Lori's hehe

Lori: What she what? —She quickly started moving towards the cleaning woman.

Lynn: It's a lie, I never had anything with him.

Lori, without listening to what the brown-haired woman was listening to, hit her hard in the face, throwing her to the ground, only to then stand on top of her, starting to throw blows at her, which Lynn covered herself with with her arms. They stayed like that for a few minutes until Leni and Lincoln separated them because it seemed like they were both going to kill each other, Lori yelled at her and insulted her, telling her that he was going to kill her, while Lynn laughed with her lower lip broken, telling her that she gave him better sex than an old golfer who I was boring in bed.
While that fight was happening, Derek stood up smiling when he saw that Lynn had what they also deserved, then the children stayed with their mother, while Lemy and Rochelle just stood together watching everything that happened.

For a few moments everything was forgotten making everyone focus only on the fight, that is until a cleaning cart began to move towards the reception from one of the hallways that led to the elevators or the fire escapes, said cart made a noise. squeaking because of its four wheels, making the teenage couple, the mother and the twins hear that noise, they looked in the direction of the cart that, having no one to hold it from the back, kept moving as if someone had pushed it, it was going to reach the reception without problem until when it hit the reception carpet it stopped, everyone stayed silent while they listened to a static noise coming from the cart, no one did anything or moved, they didn't know what was inside or what was causing that static noise

Lemy: I'm going...

Rochelle: no, wait...

Rochelle tried to stop the young rocker, but he did not pay attention to her and very carefully approached the cleaning cart, what was static was inside the huge yellow bag for the things or leftovers that the cleaning people collected, it was covered with a very clean white towel, it seemed like it had just been taken out of the washing machine. When he got to his side he heard the receptionist and his girlfriend telling him to be careful, so very afraid that something would come out, he suddenly began to move the towel to the side so he could looking inside, what he saw made him open his eyes in surprise, only to then very quickly move to the side, hunch over and begin to vomit all the alcohol he had drunk on his trip to get here.

Rochelle: love! —The young Hispanic woman wanted to go see her boyfriend, what she received was that he raised her hand as a sign for her to stay in his place.

Lemy: don't come! ...Mr. Lincoln, could you come...

Lincoln was surprised to hear that request, that young man never spoke politely to him, so understanding that it must be something very serious, he began to walk, slowly approaching his side, apparently Lemy could not reach what was causing the static, so Lincoln decided with very afraid to be the one to take it, when he looked out just like Lemy he was surprised by what that yellow garbage bag contained, what was inside were hands, feet and a human head, there were other parts, but Lincoln didn't stay He looked at that for a long time, as he had quickly looked away, covering his mouth with his right hand to avoid vomiting.
His worried wife wanted to get closer too, but Lincoln told her to stay with the children, that they shouldn't see that, he still had something to do, so without seeing the inside of the bag and rolling up his white shirt sleeves, he put his arm inside. Right inside the bag, feeling how his hand was sinking between blood and limbs, he spent a few seconds moving his arm and hand inside, until he finally managed to find something.

Lincoln: I have it, I think it's a radio...

Lincoln said that only to then slowly begin to take his arm out of the bag, when Ronnie Anne noticed that his arm seemed to be covered in something red and Lincoln had a pale expression, she covered her children's eyes as quickly as possible so that they did not see it, while the others, seeing how he took out his arm covered in blood that dripped and ran off his arm, only understood why Lemy vomited and what was inside that bag.
Lemy, when Lincoln took out his arm, closed the bag with the towel again, only to later see how Lincoln sacrificed his white shirt to clean his arm, even so he was not going to be with a bare abdomen, after cleaning himself and throwing the shirt into a On the other hand, he took one of the employees' shirts from the cleaning cart and put it on. It wasn't his size but that was the least that mattered now.

Derek: A radio? What is a radio doing in there?

Ronnie Anne: Are you okay?

Lincoln: Yes, I'm fine... I don't know, maybe his joker left it to us.

Lincoln had approached his family, just as Lemy approached his young girlfriend, his worried wife asked him if he was okay. The albino man was just a little cold from what he saw and still had the feeling of wanting to vomit, but apart from that That was fine.
As he responded to the Resort manager suddenly a voice emerged from the radio, the same voice he once yelled at the children to leave.

.– I see that he is someone smart... yes, I left it there

Everyone was surprised to hear that, only to then gather around the radio that Lincoln was holding with his right hand. When the voice stopped speaking, Lincoln pressed the button so that now they could talk.

Lincoln: why are you doing this to us?

Lemy: You're sick!

.– I'm not doing this to them, I tried to warn them of the danger of this place... and they didn't listen to me

Lori: Did you do something to my husband?

The man responded with a voice that let them know that he was tired and just as scared as them, no one understood what he meant by warning. Warn them what?

Derek: What are you talking about? you are the crazy one who has been killing animals and now people

.– Your husband is dead, miss, just like everyone else inside that Resort... that's why the stench in the apartments, that's why no one answers the phone and that's why someone cut the phone line so they can't talk to the nearest town ...

Everyone stayed silent while he spoke, they didn't understand what he was talking about, but he didn't seem to claim responsibility for the crimes or that he killed anyone, so if not him, who was it?
That question made everyone feel more afraid than before, that he was doing so much damage, that it was what they didn't know.

Leni: What's going on?

.– the answer to that question is; is feeding, the beast that dominates this area... the beast that the owners of this place say does not exist, that I have been warning everyone about but they said I was crazy! I'm not crazy, that thing ate my brother!

Rochelle: I think that man has a screw loose - everyone seemed to agree with Rochelle on that, but with her sudden increase in the volume of her voice

Leni: wait... I know that, it is the history of the Resort and it is also an urban history

Lori: what are you saying? tell us, quickly

Leni: well, I studied this so that they would accept me as a Receptionist... but when the facilities began to be built, they had to change builders and architect very often, that's why the place looks different in some parts...

Derek: that's impossible, it was just a myth

Lynn: You've already hidden a lot of things, now talk or I'll give you some blows that your dad never gave you.

Derek: well, what Leni said was true... according to the story, many employees disappeared in these places, before this was all a huge forest, when they came here they first hired lumberjacks to flatten the land for construction...

Leni: more than 12 lumberjacks disappeared in those months, no one gave them importance because they thought they had just resigned or the Resort directors told them that they were sent to another part of the forest to continue cutting trees.

Lori: I heard that, my father told me that a company paid many millions of dollars so that the name of the responsible company or the Resort would not be known, not about 12 disappeared... there were more than 76 people in all the months that Their Resort was being built, but those are the families who are fighting for them to return, there were employees who did not have families or came from too far away for someone to claim for them.

.– Exactly, the owners of this place knew that something bad was happening to the people... still they continued the work and opened the Resort, they even paid the people and the nearby town not to talk, although none of them you want to get closer to this place

Lincoln: wait, that's impossible, someone should have tried to tell the truth or a relative of someone who disappeared should have reported this.

Derek: The owners of this place are a huge company affiliation, plus do you seriously think they wouldn't spend thousands to keep everything a secret... you live in a happy bubble, money in this world makes everything possible

Lynn: and you, like a bastard, allowed innocent people to work and stay in this damned place.

Derek: I work too, I have a family to support... also it was just a silly myth, I didn't think it was real

Lemy: well, what do you think, that myth will kill us all soon?

Everyone was very angry and scared with everything that was happening, it meant that they were allowed to stay at the Resort, knowing the possible danger they were in, they didn't know if it was out of stupidity or simple greed, even so if they managed to get out of here alive they would sue them. like never before

Ronnie Anne: And what is the urban rumor that you know Leni? ...you said there was a rumor

Leni: well, it is said that long ago, in the fourth summer that this Resort was opened, something terrible happened here, the local police said that a lunatic entered the Resort and started killing everyone with a machete or sharp weapon, but the people From the town they say that it was the wendigo, who centuries ago had claimed this forest as his own and anyone who intruded here would be his meal... No one was saved from the Resort, except for one child, it is not known what happened to that child.

When Leni got to the boy's part, everyone looked at the radio, where the man seemed to be quiet while she spoke, until when he finished he decided to speak with nostalgia and a lot of hatred in his voice.

.– Summer of '82, my family and I stayed here because it was said to be the best place in the country... my little brother and I were always together, he was like a tick... I wish I hadn't let him go that night, I shouldn't have told him to stay inside the closet while I went to look for help, maybe it was my cowardice, but when I heard him scream... I just thought about hiding, I still remember my brother shouting for me

Everyone reasoned that it was time to leave that place, if it was true that something non-human was moving through the place, it was time for them to leave there as quickly as possible so as not to end up like the people inside the yellow bag.
Lincoln was the first to ask how they could get out of there, the answers or options he got were to take one of the cars outside, which at first glance was the best idea and then the other was to try to reach the box with cell phones. , in the management office at the back of the Resort.

Derek: clearly I think the best way is to go get the cars, the keys should be in there —the manager, saying that, pointed outside the Reception to a wooden stand where below were all the keys that the Valets took from whoever left their car. vehicle

Lincoln: Understood, we just have to get there...

Lemy: I have the keys to my Mustang, I'll take Rochelle with me... you can follow me

Lincoln: haha I doubt it, she will come with us

Rochelle: Dad! stop acting like a toxic person at least this time

While Lincoln argued with his daughter and her boyfriend, no one could hear the radio that Lincoln was now holding as he screamed, no one could hear the warning that they should get out of there, until suddenly from the hallway where the cart came from, a monster emerged screaming and lunging on them, the first thing that hit was Derek hitting him with his right hand, throwing him against the counter, then he placed his eyes similar to those of a goat on Ronnie Anne and his eyes, lunging like a crazy animal, Ronnie Anne with all the With the speed that the surprise allowed her, she pushed her two children towards their father, only to then be bitten on the right shoulder by that monstrosity that continued to move, until it collided with the wall and, stopping biting Ronnie Anne, ran her tongue over it. shoulder and face, he was going to eat it.

Lincoln: Ronnie —Lincoln was going to run towards her, but Lemy stopped him by pushing him to leave, even so Lincoln still wanted to go help her and ordered Lemy to let him go.

Lemy: I'm sorry, Mr. Lincoln.

Twins: Mom! —The twins shouted that with tears in their eyes, while Rochelle hugged them both by the waist so that they wouldn't also go with her.

Ronnie: v-leave... Please... Lincoln, I-I love you

Ronnie Anne told her that, before being bitten on the head by that monster, who lifted her into the air, taking her body with his hands, beginning to struggle with his teeth until with one pull he managed to tear off her head, as if it were still The duck raised its face and began to swallow said head without even chewing it.
While this was happening, the others had to escape to the back, in the end their best escape plan was to look for the cell phones and call the commissioner of the nearby town. Lincoln couldn't stop wanting to go help her, until he noticed how that thing was giving off the head of his beloved from his body, upon seeing that scene he opened his eyes and almost fainted, but then he heard the cries of his children making him remember his wife, in the best moments; "Come on, get up, we can still make it to the hill, our children are waiting for us." She never let anything discourage her, she always faced everything the right way and now, she no longer had her guide in this world. What should she do? "If I die, I want you to take care of the children. Understand? No crying, saying, without my wife I am nothing or without my wife I don't know what to do, God, you just have to take our children to school and be there for them. "That time they were only going to operate on her for appendicitis, but I didn't know why she started talking about the possibility of her death.

That thing continued to lightly eat Ronnie Anne's body only to then, getting tired of that prey, throw it aside; Thinking that after her he could come back for her if he got hungry, slowly walking on her four limbs with her spine bent, she began to move, leaving the reception along one of the hallways.

Derek: Did he leave? —The manager asked that while he looked out from the counter, observing that that thing was no longer there and that apparently he was going to go after the others.

The manager quickly, without worrying about the others, jumped over the counter, feeling somewhat sore from the blow that that thing gave him and the impact against the wall behind the counter, even so, that was perfect to hide and wait for everything to happen, very quickly. and without wanting to make a noise, he left the Resort through the main door only to then approach the stands and take one of the first keys he saw, he was not going to choose a car, he would take the first one he saw and get out of there. as quickly as possible, he was not only thinking about their safety, if he reached the town he would send the commissioner, if they managed to survive a while longer the commissioner would save them from that thing.
Derek pressed the button to unlock it, the car that turned on its lights was the family minivan of the family that lost his mother, again he told himself that everything was to save everyone, he quickly approached it and opened the door. door, but by the time he opened the door he began to hear rapid footsteps that seemed like something galloping like a horse, when he looked to his left he was surprised by that monster that tackled him like it did once with Ronnie Anne, also taking the door with it, which fell on Derek who was covering himself with it, even so it only served him for a few minutes until the beast pushed the door to the side, managing to start biting him and tearing his body, beginning to tear him to pieces in that place, making his cries of pain sound throughout the place.

Leni: that was Derek - the blonde woman said that when she heard Derek's screams, the others heard it, but they didn't say anything, hoping that he hadn't suffered.

The entire group was following Lynn who knew where Derek left the box with cell phones, the young people did not say anything as they walked hugging Rochelle, Lemy watched Lincoln who continued walking in silence with his gaze slightly lost in nothingness, losing his wife had seriously affected him.
While they were walking they couldn't notice that in some places the light bulbs seemed broken, maybe that thing broke them moving quickly through the hallways, Lori couldn't get it out of her head that that brown-haired cleaning woman slept with her partner, yes that idiot if he were still alive I would surely give him a good blow

Lori: How much longer? or you already lost

Lynn: I work here, blonde... I wouldn't get lost even if I was drunk.

Lori: My name is Lori, anyone.

Lynn: What did you say?

Leni: don't fight, I still want to get home alive... first let's survive, then let's fight for boys

Leni was saying that, passing between the two women who were going to start fighting in the middle of the hallway. By saying that, she made them admit that it was not the time, starting to follow the receptionist, they walked for a few minutes until they Finally they arrived at the manager's office, the door was closed, so Lemy had to kick it to open it, that created some noise, only for then everyone to enter the office, it looked normal like all the bosses, except that in that place they had a view of all the cameras in the Resort thanks to the televisions, Lincoln also found on the office table, a radio with blood stains, apparently the man who told them everything had been there, but? where was he now?
While Lincoln was wondering that, the others were looking for the box with cell phones, while Rochelle watched the cameras to know when that thing would approach them. When they didn't find it, they assumed that maybe that mysterious and strange man had taken it, but while They were still searching. Leni could see how there was a cell phone lying in the middle of the hallway.

Leni: guys look, a cell phone

Leni, without hesitation, thinking that maybe that man left one lying around before leaving, walked quickly out of the office, stopping in the middle of the hallway, bending down to take the cell phone, making everyone look at her, Rochelle was distracted from the cameras that she didn't notice as Something passed at high speed down a hallway, breaking a light bulb in its wake.

Leni: great...you have a signal!

Leni said that and then dialed 9, but before she could continue dialing she was surprised looking in the direction where they came from, only to then want to go back inside very scared, even so it was too late and something tackled her and took her away, Lincoln tried to follow that The same thing as Lemy, but when they left the office the only thing they found was a dark and empty hallway, Leni had already left.
It was only a few seconds, she didn't leave any of them time to react.

There were no cell phones anymore and that thing was still outside stalking them, the only option left was to take Lemy's keys, use his vehicle and maybe take another one, only if there was no room in Lemy's mustang.
The group began to move again, this time towards the front, with flashlights because the lights in some hallways were destroyed, sometimes they even heard something moving and breaking more lights, it was that thing, now they were noticing it, It was playing with them like a cat that bites its prey and sometimes lets it think it can escape, only to catch it again, but they wouldn't let that thing play with them for a while, they were going to get out of there no matter what. cost

Lynn: This damn thing has fun with us, it seems like it loves having us here between mazes of hallways.

Lori: Maybe that's why he keeps moving around the Resort... just think, he already committed this a long time ago and they opened it again, if that thing is smart enough to play with us, he should know that this hotel is like his plate and that as long as you feed from time to time, you will have food the next time

Lincoln: and I had to choose this summer, just when I bring my family... if you listen to me damn thing, fuck you, damn you!

When Lincoln shouted that, a kind of howl mixed with a human scream was heard, it was that thing as if it responded to him from afar, Lincoln just clicked his tongue and continued walking with the group, everyone moved together, almost reaching the Reception, until Lynn, who was walking in the middle of everyone, felt some concrete fall on her clothes, although for her it was just dust from the ceiling.
Insulting that the dust was coming from him, he stopped, only to then shine his light on the ceiling to see what was there. What he found was a hole that led to the floor above. He opened his eyes when his vision crossed that of that thing. She yelled at everyone to run, only for that beast to fall on top of her, crushing her with all its weight, only to then move like a damn cat, recover her posture by standing up with her hind limbs, only to then stomp on Lynn, finishing her off. with his life he screamed in the same way he did before, showing himself behind everyone, but in front of poor Lemy who ended up behind him.

Rochelle: Lemy!

Lemy: fuck... here, go now! —Lemy was throwing his keys at Lori, who had fallen but when she received the keys she stood up.

That beast began to walk forward slowly, showing its teeth and tongues, it had its attention focused on them without noticing Lemy, that is until suddenly something hit its head from behind, what it was was a Flashlight, making it look back. watching young Lemy.
Lemy began to scream and move his arms to get the attention of that thing, only to later get it to start running, the beast began to walk only to then rest its front limbs on the ground, starting to chase him very quickly, it was going to hit him. reach without any problem.

While the beast was distracted by Lemy, the others began to walk towards the Reception. It took them a while to find the reception in the dark hallways and without Lynn's guidance, when they managed to get there they continued their escape towards the front, until suddenly the In front of him that thing fell again, when looking at where it fell from, you could see another tunnel, that beast had built shortcuts throughout the Resort and he knew it like the back of his hand.
Lincoln cursed the luck they had, while Rochelle watched how that thing had Lemy's lifeless body in its body, as if that beast were a dog and Lemy a bone, her eyes became empty as she fell to her knees next to hers. little brothers, the beast on the other hand, seeming to enjoy the scene, began to move its head until it threw Lemy's body to the left, which hit the wall like a doll.

Lori: What do we do? —She asked that to the white-haired man, previously they escaped because one sacrificed himself, but even that didn't give them enough time to get to the car.

Lincoln: ...I want you to take my children to the Mustang, get them out of there.

Bobby Jr: no dad!

Lincoln: son, you will be the man of the house... take care of Reina and Rochelle

1

Lincoln was going to run towards the hallway to his left, which would be the right of that beast, but before starting his plan, suddenly the glass wall to his right was crossed by one of the trucks that had been parked, it was the largest and most powerful of them. all of them, which hit that beast and took it against the wall on the left, impacting it against it, that was not enough to kill it, but the driver who kept the accelerator pressed held that thing back.

.– Get out of here! I'll just give you a few minutes! —The bad-looking man shouted that, leaning out of the driver's window, then watching ahead as the beast hit the glass with its left arm trying to reach it.

When the others saw that, they were surprised, but upon hearing what he said, they quickly ran away, although Rochelle's father had to pick her up because she seemed not to be in her box. Lincoln knew what she felt, but he had to take her safely to her home. home, for his mother.
While they ran off to look for the Mustang, the evil-looking man took a lighter out of his pockets, which he showed to the beast and then lit it.

.- Remember this? It was my father's... you killed him... I thought if he helped you eat, you wouldn't kill more people... I guess you're evil to the core.

The man said that, releasing the lighter that fell to the ground, suddenly igniting the entire interior of the vehicle, that man had already planned to commit suicide next to that infernal beast, which upon seeing the fire began to push with more force, even so It was too late, the flames spread outside in seconds and then reached the gas tank, which that man had left open so that the flame could reach him.

Lincoln, Lori and their children were surprised to see how the Reception exploded and the flames began to spread through the Resort, even so they did not want to stay to see if that thing was still alive or not, they took the little ones up behind only for Lori to later gave the keys to Lincoln, The blonde golfer got into the passenger seat and Lincoln got into the driver's seat, without putting on the seat belts, Lincoln pressed the accelerator and began to move forward at high speed, he did not even reverse to be able to use the road, He crossed the perfectly mowed meadow and then entered the street where he drove like a madman.

From among the flames of the Reception, the beast emerged in flames, its fur was on fire and it was in a lot of pain, but it still wanted to kill those people.

Lori: Shit, Lincoln is accelerating... that thing is still alive —The woman said that to Lincoln, hoping that he would increase his speed, while she saw in the rearview mirror how a huge burning thing was approaching them running on all four limbs.

Lincoln: Because he doesn't just die!

Lincoln continued driving at high speed while that thing caught up with them, even though they were at the maximum that this vehicle could go and the engine was already at full capacity, that beast was beginning to slowly catch up with them, when it was a few centimeters away from jumping on them; He suddenly fell to the ground making a few turns, only to then stay there on the ground, catching fire.
Lincoln watched in the rearview mirror as they moved away from the burning ball and they wanted it that way, he simply slowed down a little so as not to crash or be arrested, where he would go would be to his house, without stopping except for food or gas, the authorities were They will take care of what happened there.
Rochelle and the children fell asleep from exhaustion in the back when they felt that they were safe, Lori closed her eyes for a while, only to wake up when they had to change places.

Lacy: After that the authorities again reported that one of the Resort guests went crazy, killed everyone and committed suicide... The Wendigo's body was never found and to this day the Resort is still open -Lacy finished telling his story. Horror story acting creepy, only to then show a lively smile–

Bobby Jr: I think this vacation I'm fine with going here close - Bobby Jr, very scared by that story, said that, he had begged his family to go to a luxurious place a long time ago, but now he was better off going close -

Lyle: me too, I'll even be happy to stay home alone –Lyle said that hugging his legs, seriously that story scared them a little–

When they both finished talking suddenly a thunder echoed, scaring almost everyone, now it was someone else's turn so listening to what Lyle was saying, about being safe at home, Lari raised her hand saying that she had a horror story.

Lari: this horror story is called "La Casa Solitaria / The Lonely House"...
