Under Paris

Chapter 1

The bright blue sky surrounded us, as we stepped off the aeroplane. I took small timid steps towards the open space, looking around and taking in my suroundings. We're finally in Paris. "Guys look at what I did!" Dan screamed out, as he shoved his phone in my face. Chuckling, I gently pushed his phone back into his hands. "Just for the week can you NOT play games" Tommy laughed, as he flung his bag onto his back. Sue stepped out from behind him, clutching a leaflet about Paris. "The hotels pretty close! Won't take us long" She said, turning to face us all. We all huddled around Sue as she showed us the leaflet. Pointing to a small icon of a hotel she said "It's about 10 minutes away! Come on let's go"

As we aproached a tall brick cream building, our footsteps echoed through the street. The hotel had a large wooden door, swinging above was a sign reading: Le d'or hôtel. Small painted pictures covered the light cream walls and the area smelt of cooked bacon making my mouth water, the front of the building bore large windows and the place held a welcoming yet threatening feeling. Dan strode over to the frightening door and quite powerfully shoved it open. "What are you waiting for? Get in!" He cheerfully said, while quickly walking into the hotel. Taking large excitable steps we rushed towards the huge hotel entrance. Once inside Tommy leaped towards Dan and started discussing Minecraft, Sue went to get the keys for our rooms, and Joe invited me to a conversation which I willingly accepted.
"Ah! Gotta love Paris, right?" Joe stated, saying Paris in a terrible french accent. Joe was great at an Australian and Russian accent but everything else just ended up with everyones disaproval. "City of joy, of love!" The word love couldn't have been more pronounced. With a sigh I said "Yes! Gotta love Par.." My words were cut off from Joe resting a hand on my shoulder. "As your gay bestfriend I should give you advice about...life in general! Never - and I mean never, use sarcasm on the sarcasm king!" His words filled my ears as he gave me a death stare, which ended up with both of us having to hold onto eachover from laughter. Finally getting ourselves to stop we rushed over to Sue. "Joe, Dan and Tommy. You three are in room 42, and Evie and I are in room 41! So if we ever need eachover we're next door! Right lets go!" Sue claimed, grabbing her bags and tossing a key each to Joe and me.

My medium lengthed fluffy light brown hair lay messily across my pillow, as my limp body lay dead-like on the sqaushy matress. My clear vision of the bright calm ceiling faded into darkness as my eyes fluttered closed, only to suddenly open again by the sound of Sue's complaining. "Oi stop being your normal relaxed careless self and get your lazy ass out of bed, and eat some food!" Groaning, I slowly and sloppily got off my bed, and walked to the small kitchen the hotel offered us. "Here its your favourite! Chicken!" Smiling, I swiftly grabbed the plate and started eating. Laughing Sue pulled me to a small table next to the kitchen counter and sat me down on a chair. "Hey Sue I've been a bit worried about my options. I know you're into fashion and you took stuff to help you with that, but do you think you can help me decide?" Shrugging, she picked up a peice of her toast and chucked it into her mouth. "Sure but don't stress about it! This is a holiday and we want to have the best time we can get! Plus you -" Sue was cut short by a loud bang on the wall, coming from the boys room. Then loud laughter was followed after and another loud bang. "What are they doing?" I chuckled. "I'm going to see whats happening" I started towards the door, Sue following suit.

I gingerly pushed door 42 open, revealing Joe clutching his stomach while laughing, Dan rubbing his head while laying on the floor and Tommy sprawled across the corner of the room looking lifeless. I strode over to Tommy, panicking slightly, and shook him, which caused him to giggle. "What the hell were you guys doing?" I questioned.
"We were talking and Joe suddenly stood up. Tommy kneeled down behind me with out me noticing, and I stood up too. Joe pushed me, and I fell over and hit the wall, then Joe pushed Tommy and he fell over me, then crashed into the wall and somehow rolled over to that corner" Dan explained as he pointed over to the corner Tommy and I were in. "Yeah..i..it...was..hila...hilari...hilarious" Joe stuttered between chuckles, only to end up kneeling on the floor while roaring in laughter. Smiling, I stood up and lent a hand to Tommy and then Dan. "Oh Joe! You pranking rainbow!" I jokingly sighed, while going back to room 41 with Sue.

Sue lay sleeping quietly on the single bed next to me, her heavy breathing crushing the silence. I sat up and scanned the room, dark shadows filled the place giving it an ominous feeling. I leant over to my right to see the time. 1:38. I really need to get some sleep. With a sigh I let my body fall onto my bed and soon my vision was filled with darkness as my eyelids closed.

My eyes fluttered open and I jumped out of bed. Today we'll be going around Paris! Excited, I ran over to Sue, who was eating breakfast in the kitchen, and jumped onto her. Laughing, she gently pushed me off and passed me some toast. "Eat up Evie! We're going around Paris today!" With a massive grin on my face I took the toast and threw myself onto a seat. "So I was thinking about the places we're going to in Paris and Dan really wants to go to some game shop, Tommy wants to go to an anime shop, Joe wants to go to any shop with anything Harry Potter, I want to go to a clothes shops, and you want to go to any shop basically. Oh and Joe also wants to get some french milkshake, so when we get back to Britain he can tell everyone he's got french milkshake!" Sue claimed. Giggling I nodded and finished my toast. "Sounds great! When are we going?" I replied. "In a few minutes! Do you want to see if the others are ready?" Nodding, I got up and joyfully strode over to room 42. I forcefully shoved open the door in my excitement making Tommy jump, and Joe hysterically laugh. "You lot ready yet?" Dan got up and yawned. "Yeah! Let's go!!" Joe straightened up and jumped to his feet. "WOOHOO! LET'S GOOO" Laughing Tommy walked up to me and said "let's go guys!"

Modèle vie read the large wooden board on the top of the shop. "Sue! This place looks like your kind of thing" I stated pointing to the formal clothes shop. Jumping up and down Sue went inside the shop, while Dan sighed and shook his head and Joe, Tommy and I giggled slightly. We went inside to see Sue clutching three peices of clothing and admiring another on a coat hanger. "Wow she needs to chill a bit" Joe jokingly said. "Hey Sarcasm king theres a shop down the street with a few Harry Potter things in it!" I claimed just before Joe shrieked and ran off down the street. I shuffled over to Sue leaving Tommy and Dan disgusted about the type of shop they were in. "Got enough clothes?" I said, accidently making Sue jump. "No I need more" she replied after her moment of shock. Laughing I watched her pick out a few more clothes before she wandered off to the changing room. Tommy strode over and exclaimed. "Evie! I found an Anime shop and Dan's found a game shop, so we're going to go! We'll see you by the small coffee shop around the corner" With a peck on my cheek he ran out with Dan. Waiting I looked around and noticed a top with the Ravenclaw logo on it. Cheerfully I jogged over and unhooked it from the hanger.

The warm air hit my body as I sat down in the small coffee shop, Sue next to me. Soon my hands were filled with a warm sensation from my mug filled with hot chocolate. Leaning in I was about to take a sip however I was disturbed by a troubled Dan. "The... cata ... combs ... are ... cl ... closed.." Dan quietly said between breaths. "WHAT?!" Joe shouted as he appeared from behind Dan. "The catacombs..they're closed...we can't go...in them" Dan answered slowly getting his breath back. "What are we going to do?" I said disappointed. Silence engulfed our conversation until a sudden voice filled our ears. "I KNOW!" Joe shouted. "We can go into the ilegil parts of the catacombs!"
