{Dead At The Night AU 2/6}

Karl stared into the black mirror, unsure of how this mirror was going to help him through this situation of an Axe Wielding Man!
Karl took a moment to really gather himself, according to the device he had to find items around the Hotel and try to find out what happened here.
. . .
Talk about mystery come alive-
Karl then noticed the mirror, seeing very faded images clouded with smoke.
". . . Room 201?"
That was on the floor above me!
I had to get out of this room and to the Elavator!
. . .

~

Karl peaked out, listened for any footsteps or sign that Techno was on the floor.
. . .
Slowly he got out of the hall, and made his way back to the Elavator, but each step felt like he was walking through a room of snakes and one wrong move would get him killed.
But he found the Elavator and managed to get in and hit the button for the second floor, as it went up Karl let out a breath that he didn't even realise he was holding!
This was scary, he took out his phone and to his horror there were no bars!
Which only meant someone took out the service because he had bars as he was online reading about the event!
. . .
He came to the second floor, he peaked out into the hall before he began to speed walk down the hall to find the room.

~

As he entered, he began to look around and found. . . Strange things.
In the drawer, there was a cloth of dired blood, a wallet and a hair clip?
Odd.
Karl decided that he wouldn't carry this all around so, he opened his phone and opened his notes to jot things down if he needed to.
But, that's all so he turned to leave-
Only to freeze.
There in the room, was a woman with beautiful blonde hair, blue dress and was still appealing make up to herself as she left the bathroom,"Time for the party.", she smoothed her dress before she left the room.
Karl was stunned.
He snapped out of it when the static came back, he lifted the device and turned the dial on the side.
"Hello. . .?"
. . .
"Greetings.", Karl took a deep breath,"Who. . . Who is this?", silence rang out,"I am Lady Lyaria.", Karl nods, taking a deep breath before he flinched at hearing footsteps, he made sure it was locked and hid in the bathroom.
. . .
He covered his mouth, before he whispered,"The lady that was leaving the bathroom. . . Was that you. . .?", ". . . Yes. I was getting ready for the party.", Karl frowns, party?
He remembered the cloth, getting an idea,"I found a cloth in the drawer. . . Was it yours, if so. . . What happened?", . . .,"No, I don't know if it was mine. . . I apologise.", Karl sighed, guess not.
Karl got out of the bathroom, thankful about Techno not in the room, he then looked at the wallet,"I found a wallet in the drawer, do you know who it may belong to?", ". . . I don't know. This room wasn't mine, I was staying at this house for a party.", Karl gulped again, feeling more dread as he was worried and scared because each sound would make his heart sped up or drop.
"What about the hair clip? Was it yours??", ". . . That was mine. I thought I lost it, I planned to wear it but I had to rush down for the party."
Karl frowned, a party?
Wonder what that's about.
Karl then stumbled back, feeling dizzy and sick and grabbed the desk to not lose his footing.
His vision was clouded by darkness and white miss, seeing visions of a blue dress drinking wine, a golden and black mask and a bar?
His vision cleared, Karl took a moment to collect himself.
. . .
He didn't expect that, and he never wanted to experience that again.
He stood up, taking a note before he peaked out into the peep hole.
Seeing an empty hall, but then he saw the man dragging the axe along the wall pass the door.
Karl covered his mouth again, trying not to cry and move in fear of making a sound.
. . .
Karl got out of the room, looking around before he sprinted down the hall.
"THERE YA ARE!"
Karl didn't stop running, he saw the stairs and took them, not caring if he missed a step or two, he was being chased!

~

Karl then ducked under the stairs of the main lobby, hearing the man stop and then go to another section of this place.
Karl sighed with relief, he then walked around the lobby looking around more to get more familiar.
. . .
Then he remembered.
He reached into his back pocket, pulling out the sheet and sure enough on the page had mentioned a bar.
So, he rushed around until he found the main dinning area and saw a bar section, walking over and went behind it to find it something or anything.

~

Looking around, he didn't find anything but why would he? He didn't know who this lady was, how old she was or when this happened?
For all he knew, evidence could have been washed away.
Standing up, he jumped to see the woman drinking a glass and seeing a man approach her, he had a gold and black mask but looked at lot like Techno.
"You look lovely as always, Lady Lyaria."
He gave her a glass, she drank it and then in a blink of an eye they were gone.
. . .
Karl ducked, taking the box out and spoke in,"Is it Lady Lyaria?", ". . . Greetings again.", "I saw you drinking with someone? Who was that?", ". . . That was Sir Billiam The Third. He was the host of the party I was attending, he and I were close.", Karl nods, he looked around and under the table and noticed behind some was old bottles,"Hey, when you drank the wine or alcohol, did it have something to do with the bloodly cloth?", ". . . Maybe. I'm not sure.", Karl nods, sighing before standing up and already having a bad headache from this mess.
Looking around more at the bar, he noticed something interesting and he got on his knees and notices a very old dusty vial under the golden bar below.
"Does this vial have something to do with you fate?", ". . . Billiam poured something in my drink, I didn't know what it was but he said it was a type of flavour to the wine. It was good, but. . .", she went silent again, Karl was worried about what was that vial may have.
Then it happened again.
He got a headache and grabbed his head, groaning and gritting his teeth to silence the pain he was in.
Now he could see this Billiam talking to the lady about a sword, the sword going missing and yelling.
Karl snapped out of it.
Shaking, and standing slowly to gather himself and he looked around.
. . .

~

Looking around, he noticed a lot of paintings and items.
"Guess this Billiam collected a lot."
Karl then noticed something, one of the swords and a closer look he noticed red fabric on the end of the blade.
"Lady Lyaria. . . Does the sword have anything to do with your fate?", ". . . No. But, I remember taking it and. . . I did something horrible."
Karl shuddered at what she meant, but once again his vision was blacked out and he saw a new vision.
. . .
He saw a dead body. . .
A group of people including Lady Lyaria. . .
Then a barrel of water.
He returned to reality.
"What. . . What is happening to me. . ."
He sat down for a moment, letting the nausea pass.
. . .
He stood up again, he needed to look around for barrels.
"Sir, are you okay? You don't sound well.", Karl gulped, not wanting to worry the woman,"Yeah. . . I'm fine. . .", he found himself in a store unit. . .?
It was full of boxes, barrels and basically supplies of food and water.
. . .
"Lady Lyaria, do barrels have something to do with your fate?"
. . .
"Unfortunately."
Karl frowned, looking up-
"DEAR GOD!"
He didn't know who yelled, but Lady Lyaria was running out the hall in darkness she was panicking, she had blood on her hands and she reached into the barrel full of water to watch it off.
Then a tall man in a gold mask but with green and red glitter, he grabbed her by the hair and shoved her head down!
Karl was frozen, seeing Lady Lyaria struggle, thrash around and trying to raise her head for air, but this person was shoving her head down no matter how much she kicked or struggled.
And what was disturbing, was that she slowly stopped and then fell limp.
The person took her out and dumped her on the ground, panting as it seemed that holding someone under water was harder than it looked in the movie.
. . .
It disappeared.
Karl was shaking, holding back tears as he raised the box thing.
"L-Lady. . . Lyaria. . . You were drowned. . . Why. . ."
. . .
"I was a pawn. I was forced to do something, I was then murdered by that boy to not have me confess. If you want answers, I'd go to the main room and I wish you luck. And. . . If you could, leave my Hair Clip down on the barrel."
Karl gulped, moving towards it and place it on the barrels.
. . .
Overcame by darkness and dizziness, he saw Lady Lyaria waving and seemed sad, but then he saw red and the strange masked man.
. . .
Freezing when he heard banging, he hid behind the boxes and saw Techno.
. . .
Watching him stare at the clip, covered his mouth Karl watched Techno pick up the clip.
Before he threw it in rage and walked off.
