Hotel de Luna (Horror/Thriller Part 1)

CONT ....

It was so clear to me now what the man I asked for hotel's direction meant, he said "do not go closer to moon hotel."

I contemplated what happened earlier. "Moon Hotel - also known as Hotel de Luna." That's it! The man doesn't want me to go near this hotel because of something bad. "Why I didn't thought about it earlier?"

Perhaps I was hypnotized by the words imprented that caught my sight, so there'll be no escape.

My heart was pacing so fast and my dripping sweat was as cold as dead fish on the seashore. The woman marched towards me. Her kind and pure intentions turned to be a terrifying one. "Will I gonna be like Hanzel and Gretel imprisoned in witch's nest?"

The world seems to be so silent that I didn't t even heard her marching sounds, or shall I say, she wasn't walking on the floor. I tried to convinced myself that I was just dreaming, or having a sleep paralysis.

The well lit room became so dark and peculiar. My mind shouted at me to take actions. The technique thought by my soldier father appeared in my mind. He thought me how to untie myself when situation like this happen.

"Where did the woman go?" I don't dare to contemplate, as I was busy untying myself. After few attempts, I successfully untied myself. I ran through the other way.

Hope started to build when I saw the backdoor, it turned my speed faster. It wasn't locked at all. I was in my act to step out when the man from earlier popped out from nowhere, with a grinning expression. My little hope turned twisted. Excitement drawn on his face as a ray of light hits the knife on his left hand, perhaps he's excited to eat me.

I wanted to scream but I can't. My legs started to turn jelly and would collapse in no time. "I can't die here" I said to myself. So I gained some courage to turn back to look for escape.

I ran back to the living room, trying to hold my panic at bay. Few seconds later, the woman appeared in my vission together with the man at my back.

"I will die anytime soon. There's no way to escape."
