Terror

Chapter Thirty-Four

In a span of five months, there were interviews, reports, and even a Netflix original series in the works about the Simcoe tragedy, as they call it.

The condo building was built in an open space near large buildings. Before you entered, it was entirely glass windows with grey and white siding on the building. There were balconies in each unit, all of which were black. There was a Starbucks and some small shops nearby.

Although her parents wanted her back, Nevaeh wanted to live in one of these places.

"Whoa!" Will gasped.

They entered the building that had a shiny black floor with a large black front desk up front. Behind the desk was a rock wall that had water streaming down it slowly. It had grey walls, all with glowing lights on the side, with two black velvet sofas on either side.

Nevaeh raced down the right hallway, where the indoor pool was located. It had a large glass door that she pushed open. The deck was a dark grey, bordered around the long pool that reflected four windows on the left side that overlooked part of the city.

On the right side was a square hot tub that had a small waterfall flowing into it that had glowing blue lights. One thing she noticed in a supply closet in the corner made her laugh.

"You got pool noodles and floaties?"

Mia rushed to grab one from the supply closet that had some beach balls.

"We have a pool cleaner that will check levels," River stated. "There will be an emergency lifeguard if needed."

This was like being in a water park or a fancy hotel that people dream of going to.

River left as Nevaeh scurried behind with the number of those staying. One thing that Nevaeh was quite surprised about was Cindy, because her parents wanted her to come back desperately.

Jason, Greyson, and Scarlett she wasn't surprised about, along with some other Uden students. People like Preston and James were staying.

Emma went back with her father but would visit. The same went for Zane, Mallory, Angel, and others who had helped. Some had considered it, but most had become undecided.

The next door was a library with a dark brown desk and walls of books on high shelves. There were circular tables with comfy white chairs that went around each with a small plant in the middle. Nearby, there were a few blue sofas near long coffee tables.

"It's for studying and stuff since we'll have to focus on grades and—" River said awkwardly.

"Highlighter, most of us didn't care about our grades," Mia remarked.

"It could be for just wanting to go somewhere quiet," River rushed out.

They left that room and went into the main lobby, where there were two silver elevators.

"So, the second floor is where we can eat as a group. We all do have our own kitchens, depending on room sizes," River started.

The crackheads went up the stairs while some others waited. It appeared to be a normal elevator, but the second floor made her eyes widen. It was a wide room where tables sat in different areas, while one long table dined in the middle. It had a fireplace near the left-side area, where there was another long table with many chairs.

The walls were silver, with wide windows through which you could see rushing cars in the busy city. On the right side was more of the kitchen, with a double stove and a large countertop.

"We'd have someone cook the food because I don't really want to have the place burn down," River eyed Eden when he said this.

"You honestly think I'd burn this place down? First of all, this would be hard to burn, and I never go for big buildings unless they have a reason to be burned," Eden said flatly.
