"Where's my daughter?!", a panicked voice rang throughout the lobby of the hotel. I look over to see a lady running towards me, panic on her face. "Ma'am, calm down. I need you to tell me what happened", I say. The lady stopped at the front desk, in front of me. She frantically started trying to explain. She sobbed as she yelled about how she sent her daughter to go to the play place on floor Kraken and her daughter saw something about someone's neck breaking and them getting up, and then went back, but she sent her out again, and her daughter hasn't come back yet. I start to sweat nervously, I didn't think anyone saw my neck break.

"Ma'am. I need you to calm down. We'll phone the police and they'll do a search around the hotel and the surrounding area", I say, calm and collected, hiding the nervousness I feel even though I know what will happen to that little girl. It happened to them all.

I have memories to when everyone first came, at different times. Dahlia was scared and confused, but adapted quickly. Aria went into a long depressive episode and barely got up. Charles was constantly anxious and didn't trust anyone. Beckett was just non-emotional. She just seemed empty, but then again, she always seems like that. Felicity cried a lot, and eventually, she accepted the fact that she's here like the rest of us. Maria was here before me and helped me when I first arrived.

I snapped out of those flashbacks. "Antoinette! Call 911, we have a code M!", I call to the back room. Antoinette came here a few years ago, a newer one. She has black hair that is always in a braid and tan skin. She has dark eyes, that look almost black. She walks out of the backroom, phone to ear. "Yes, a missing child", she gave me a look. I look at the mother. "Her name is Tabitha Thompson, she's 6 years old, she always carries around a stuffed bear with a Blue bowtie, she's wearing a yellow dress with a grey cardigan and black Mary-Janes", the mother explains. Antoinette copies the information to the person on the other line.

A few minutes later the cops show up. They talk to the mother, the father, a big portion of the staff, including myself, and some people who claimed they saw Tabitha before she went missing. They search the whole hotel and the area around it, finding nothing. Like I guessed. The mother and father just decided to leave and not stay anymore. We took a portion out of the bill for the inconvenience.

Later that night, we were in the Camp area of Floor Bigfoot. There was a few people there. Myself, Felicity, Antoinette, Maria, Dahlia and Aria. Felicity explained that Beckett was busy handling some customers. It was late by this point. Dahlia joked about how it's past Felicity's "Bed time", Felicity got upset by that and threw a marshmallow at Dahlia. Dahlia got up and ran, Felicity chases her. "Damn", Maria says, "Today was a crappy day", Aria chuckles at that. I groan. "Yeah, I think we all know what will happen to that little girl Tabitha", we stayed silent in agreement.

"Remember Georgia?", Maria says quietly. "Yeah. I miss her...", I say. I do really miss her. I remember how she died. Georgia and I were close. She was like a little sister to me. It hurt to see that happened. It happened so long ago. 

"W-Who are you?", a little girl's voice calls from the dark. Everyone turns around, but can't see who it is.
