Annabeth chase and the conspiracy of endless time (A pjo swap parent fanfic)

Chapter 2 : My first time at a 5 star hotel

Annabeth's Pov

I ran into the hotel door. I just hoped that no one would think I was a beggar and chase me away. This was a big, luxurious, and grand hotel. I could see a series of amusement parks in the lobby with a series of games from old to new. There was a man walking towards me. Probably a hotel employee.

-Hello!

The hotel employee said with a smile. He was wearing a colorful shirt with the Lotus Hotel logo printed on it. What should I say? I can't say that there is a monster aiming for my life, right?

-Yes, I...

-Welcome to the Lotus Hotel! Here is your room key.

Huh? I wasn't sure if I heard correctly. But Room key? Maybe he mistook me for someone else who had booked a room here.

-Excuse me...but maybe you have the wrong person..

I said in an uncertain voice.

-No no, how could that be? Your room is room 4000, just go to the room near the top and you will see it right away! If anything happens, our staff is always ready to serve you. This is LotusCash, used to pay for all activities in this place.

After saying that, he stuffed the room key and LotusCash card into my hand, and without waiting for me to say anything, he left. A part of me said that I should run after him and return this. But that was no use, I could no longer recognize his back in the crowd. He really disappeared as quickly as he appeared. I took the key and card to take the elevator to room 4000, and there were more than 4000 rooms here?

It was a detached apartment with everything that a 5-star hotel with a first-class room should have in the imagination of countless people. This only made me feel worse because the real guest must have spent a lot of money. I went to check the room a bit. There were clothes in the closet that fit me. It was strange because this was a single person room. Could the real guest really be a 12-year-old? No, what was I thinking, maybe it was just the real guest's child.

My stomach started to growl a little. Maybe I should fill my stomach that was exhausted after Shadow Travel. I opened the door and went down to the restaurant, not forgetting to take my bag, you could say I did something unnecessary but from my experience, I shouldn't leave something in one place for too long, especially when it held all my important things. I didn't want something like that far away from me. I had never been to a restaurant that was more than the average family restaurant you can find anywhere. So the luxurious setting of the hotel restaurant stunned me with its luxury and size. While I was standing there, frozen at the door of the restaurant, a boy ran into me because he was running so fast. It was a boy with blond hair and gray eyes, he had olive skin. He looksabout 8 or 9 years old. His clothes looked like he came out of a history book about the 1930s. Is that what rich kids like to wear nowadays? Come to think of it, I think I've seen those gray eyes somewhere before. But I didn't have time to search my memory to remember exactly where I saw them

-Aah! Sorry!!

The apology in Italian accent came from a blonde girl with grey eyes and olive skin like this boy who ran over. From the features on their bodies, it was not difficult to guess that they were siblings. This girl looked like she was around my age.

Before I could say anything, the girl had already pulled her younger brother away. I quickly stood up and walked into the restaurant. The service here was buffet style, where you could grab whatever you wanted and eat it. I actually quite liked this style of eating because it didn't take much time to wait (you know, with a monster magnet, time shouldn't be wasted for me at all) but unfortunately I didn't really have much chance to eat in a buffet restaurant.I quickly picked up my food and found an empty table for myself and ate. I tried to make sure I ate enough nutrients because energy is very important for survival. But the weird thing is that in the restaurant, everyone is speaking different slang and accent that I'm not sure I can understand. After all, this place must be really big to attract tourists from all over, right? Or maybe not...
