The Curtains - Izma

6

Parking car near the front door, we clutched our bags, picked the flashlights, walked directly to the door. The creepy frame of building cloaked our spirit for a while. We were almost 270 miles away from our homes.

A deep silence covered our souls as we stepped in, we all were gazing the ancient place which reminded us of Egyptian monuments.

Suddenly after breaking a silence Simon shrieked "It will take a lot of time if we'll all move together".

"Spreading up is too dangerous" Susi replied, looking at us, her eyes glitch with fear.

"Let's spread up and find out the mystery behind this motel", I rolled my eyes and replied, flashing the light on her face.

Clair appealed but I was busy mapping the way. She turned her face to go, paired up with Susi and Karen, the three girls headed north side,

There were 20 floors on the motel, I decided to search the second floor.

The building was extensively damaged that it felt like it will collapse any moment. Our roaming eyes were sighting artistic beauty, sprinting through the tables, ornamented by the baroque frame, we made way to the bedrooms' side.

Sun was dawning, moon facing up again. Wind sound was almost striking like a thunder. Trees were wafting, slamming the rooftop

Right behind me, tree crashed in, ripping off the window, floor freckled with glass bits, I stumbled over the wall. Widen eyes watching the sharp pointed branch sliding directly towards me, frightful gasp just escaped through the dropped mouth. Jacob grabbed my wrist, lugged towards him and we hit the floor with a shrilled bang, just before the branch collided against the wall.

His sturdy arms enveloped me from behind to keep me safe.

Quivering lips can't even thank him. Simon panting terribly, kneeled down the floor, rubbing his chest in fear.

"You ok", Jacob asked tightened the grip to make me stand. His sweat slithered down my hand holding his jacket ardently. I slowly stood up, dusting off my jeans, looking at the bruises of his hand.

"yeah", I moaned low, eyeing out the window. The tragic moment ceased us for a while.

We began to walk front. Simon held my hand, his wobbly feet barely carried his weight. My fiery eyes popped on his tugged eyebrows, hands were soothing him to overcome fear,

The whole day passed, no clue found and nothing new was explored. We all gathered back in the main hall and decided to get some rest as we all were tired enough from our rough day.
