Blood Bandits

26.

After jabbing the buttons of the elevator too many times, I waited as it began to move. I looked down at my watch hoping that I was making good time. Of Damon was serious, I had to be in and out with five minutes or I was getting left for dead. I had a feeling that he wasn't going to leave me but if he was in coo hoots with August then there was a possibility.

The minute the doors of the elevator began to separate, I squeezed myself through the doors to hurry to my hotel room. As I got there, the same older lady that was cleaning, was here now. Trying not to be rude, I gently tapper her shoulder. She kept her head down and replaced things on her cart but I was in a huge hurry.

"Excuse me, I really need to get in this room." I say rushed, looking back down at the watch.

She stacked something else on the cart. "Hold on dear, let me move this car out of your way."

I sighed and she slowly dragged it from in front of my door. Rushing in, I grabbed my bag and stuffed my charger and tooth brush. Everything was pretty much packed except some clothes that I knew could be replaced. I was so glad that I travel light. I grabbed my duffel with all of my necessities. Minor stuff, I was leaving behind because I knew that I was going to be able to replace it.

Taking one last glance around the room, I nodded to myself and noted everything that I was going to need to replace. Whipping my head around, I noticed the housekeepers cart back in front of the door. But the door was now closed. I frowned and looked behind me and was quickly grabbed and shoved into the wall. The old lady's face had changed and she was no longer the sweet old lady had come in contact with before. Her teeth were bared and her eyes had changed into a golden color. Almost amber. She was strong as her one hand gripped my throat, making me lose breath with every second. I dropped my duffel and my phone. As soon as my phone dropped on the phone, it lit up signaling that I had only 60 seconds to get out of this room.

Raising my foot, I manage to drill it into her stomach making her let go at the altercation. She dropped me but it wasn't long until she was back at me once more. I grabbed my duffle and swung it in her direction but she was dodging it at every turn.

50 seconds.

She lunged for me again, I could tell that she was trying to get my neck. That was a no no. Quickly dropping down, I swooped up my phone only to be grabbed backwards and jerked to the floor. The sound of my apple factory ringtone began to chime letting me know that Damon was calling me. I tried to answer and put it on speaker but as soon as my finger in the button, she back on top of me.

"Hello?! Where the hell are you?" Damon panicked through the phone.

Sure enough, I heard police sirens in the background, he was probably calling to tell me that he was leaving me.

"I'm getting attacked by the house --" I kicked her in the face making her even more angry. "Keeper. I'm trying to get out."

"Amina, the cops, they are coming now!" He yelled once more.

I was getting very pissed off right now. I was being tried for murder, my best friend isn't my friend anymore. My job was done for and this old ass whatever the hell she is was trying to kill me. Now the cops were coming. That was enough to make anyone want to give up... But I wasn't just anyone.

"Stall damnit, I'm coming!" Hanging up, I grabbed the woman by her throat, but noticing the electricity emerging from my fingertips.

At this moment I didn't care. I continued to electrocute her. She gripped my wrist but couldn't hold on long because it was shocking her too. Withering, she dropped to the floor on her knees as the fluid was purging from her mouth. She quickly fell to the floor and I had no time to question of she was dead or not. I had to get out of here. I looked down at my watch.
