Stockholm Syndrome (1)

Chapter Nine

After hours upon hours with a few naps and a crappy meal the plane was finally landing in mystic falls.

Once I got off of the plane with my bag I stretched all my sore muscles and sighed content. I placed my back pack on my back and started walking, I turned my phone on and set it to this time zone.

It was 4pm here, I walked through the small town admiring it. I saw a place called the mystic grill, walking inside it looked to be a bar and Cafe or restaurant type of place.

I found a spot by the windows and sat down, looking down at the menu I read through the drinks and food options.

A waiter comes over to me, "hi, welcome to the mystic grill I'm matt what would you like to eat or drink?" He asked.

"Hi, I'd just like a pint of coke please." The minute I finished my request Matt gave me a weird confused look.

"What's a pint?" He asked.

"Oh I'm new here, uh a tall glass of coke, sorry." I said, he smiled kindly writing it down.

"No worries." He said then walked off. I looked down at my phone to see multiple messages from Max and kyle.

'Where are you?'
'Why'd you do this?'
'What the hell?'
'I'll find you'

I sighed blocking the numbers and all social media that I originally had kyle on. Soon Matt came back with my coke.

"Here's your drink." He said placing it on the table in front of me.

"Thank you Matt." I said with a small smile.

"Can I ask where you're from? That accent?" Matt asked.

"Of course, I'm from Australia." I said.

"Oh nice, well I have to get back to work." Matt said before walking off the gather dirty dishes and cups from tables.

I browsed through Facebook passing the time when I thought I could feel someone staring at me. Looking up and around I see a guy at the bar staring at me, when he catches me looking he raises his glass with a smirk.

Not wanting to be rude I raise my glass of coke to him but with no smile or smirk unlike him. I took a sip of my drink thinking of what I was supposed to do.

It was to late to talk to a realitor for a house or apartment so That'll have to wait until tomorrow,  I'll probably have to stay the night at a hotel or motel.

Soon I felt a presence and looked up across from me, I saw the guy who was staring at me earlier.

" you're new here." He said.

"Obviously, can I help you?" I asked absent mindedly.

"Perhaps." He said, he gave me a strange look.

" I doubt it, but I think you could help me." I said watching his movements.

" What's that." He said.

"I need a hotel, could you point me in the right direction?" I asked nicely.

"Sure love I can show you. Let's go."  He said.

"Wait what's your name?" I asked standing up and grabbing my bag, placing it over my shoulder.

"The names Enzo." He smirked as we walked out of the grill, we walked down the street it was just starting to get dark now.

"Nice name." I commented as we slowly strolled.

" and what's your name?" Enzo asked, I glanced at him.

" Skye." I said after a bit, giving him my middle name, I didn't know or trust this man to tell him my first name.

"Beautiful." Enzo commented.

"If you say so." I brushed his compliment off. Soon we came up to a beautiful looking hotel.

"This is it. It was nice meeting you." Enzo said stopping in front of the doors.

"Thanks for showing me where to go. " I said, hiking my bag in my shoulder again.

"No worries, I'll see you around sometime." Enzo said.

"Maybe." I said turning to go inside, it was beautiful.

Going inside I went to the front desk, there was a man reading some magazine.

"Hi, I'd like a room for tonight please." I asked nicely with a small smile. He nodded typing into the computing system.

"That'll be $60 dollars." He said in a bored tone, I tapped my card on the scanner machine.

He handed me the room key. Telling me it was room 24 second floor. I thanked him and headed to the elevator. I pressed the second floor button.

Walking down the hallway reading each door number I slowed down when I found mine. Unlocking the door I walk in and shut the door behind me, locking it also.

I placed my bag on the double sized bed with my phone and jumper that I just took off. I went into the bathroom closing the door.

I sit on the toilet doing my business then turned the shower on, once set to the way I like it I stripped down until I was naked, I kept my hair up as I didn't want to get it wet.

I washed my stress and worries of my old life away.  Soon I got out and dried off going to bed in today's shirt and my underwear.

I got Into bed and looked at the time, it was 9:45pm and I wanted to get a good head start for tomorrow when I talk to somebody about an apartment of some type.

I turned the TV on and the light off, I had the volume low as mainly a back sleep noise. I curled up in a ball and closed my eyes after I set an alarm for 8am.
