Horror Hotel

Chapter 13

Katana's door unlocks, attracting Kimmy and Lach's attention. "Katana?" Kimmy watches the door. Lach looks at the door as well. "Wouldn't she be here by now?" Lach says turning to Kimmy. Kimmy nods and slowly gets up off the floor.

"Strange" she says slowly walking towards Katana's door. She grabs the cold doorknob tightly and twists it open to reveal Katana laying on the floor. Her eyes were shut and there was a small puddle of dry blood next to her. "Oh, I found her" Kimmy gestures to Lach. Lach walks over and peers through the doorway.

"I guess you have" Lach looks around the room to try to figure out what happened. There was a strange liquid next to some shattered glass on the ground. Kimmy scurries to Katana. "Is she dead?" Kimmy panics and checks Katana for a pulse. Kimmy looks at Lach full of panic. Lach follows Kimmy.

"She looks dead to me" Lach peers over Kimmy's shoulder. Kimmy shakes her head in disappointment. "So we lost Bella, KitKat, Anubis and now Katana?" Kimmy says shakily. Lach looks at Kimmy and finds her eyes all glassy. "Kimmy?"

Kimmy tries to blink away her tears but a few escape streaming down the side of her face mixing in with the stains of blood. "She's dead," Kimmy weeps. More tears follow and start to drip onto Katana's shirt. Lach watches Kimmy. "Why don't you give her CPR or something?" Kimmy gently wipes the tears of her face and nods. She places her hands on Katana's chest and was about to start chest compressions when Katana takes a deep sharp breath in.

"I guess she's alive," Lach says. "You thought I died?!" Katana snaps offended. "Calm down Katana, we saved you... right?" Kimmy looks up at Lach full of joy. Lach shrugs. "Thanks" Katana wipes her mouth on her sleeve and stands up. She stumbles a little but manages to find her balance.

"Let's get out of here" Katana limps to the already open door. Kimmy and Lach follow closely, keeping an eye out for anything strange. "They're dead?!" Katana calls shocked as she looks at the doors with her friends' names scratched out. Kimmy and Lach nod. "I'm afraid so" Kimmy sighs with disappointment.

"That shit was terrifying," Lach says, getting flashbacks of what happened. Kimmy nods in agreement. "Katana please wipe your mouth, it's unsettling seeing dried blood there" Kimmy looks at Katana in discomfort. "Well, I don't really have anything to wipe with, do I?" Katana snaps back at Kimmy. 

Alright" Kimmy sighs, her eyes darted around the room looking for an exit, there was a worn out bookshelf that had blood splattered over it, cobwebs hanging from every corner and a few knives stuck in the spines of books. However, there was a small trophy on the shelf that looked untouched. No spiderwebs, no blood and no knives. Kimmy slowly walks up to the trophy and twists it. She could hear small gears unlocking.

"Strange" Kimmy mutters to herself, catching Lach and Katana's attention. "Hm?" Lach says walking to Kimmy. The sound of the turning gears get louder and the bookshelf slowly screeches across the wall. Katana covers her ears. "AHh my teeth" Katana protests. Kimmy rolls her eyes. "Suck it up, let's go" Katana looks at Kimmy confused but then spots a dimly lit hallway behind Kimmy. She nods and walks to Kimmy and Lach. "Alright" Katana nods full of exhaustion.
