Tulip's Mythic Emotions

Tulip's Mythic Emotions (Part 3)

The Unwanted Visitor
Katelyn smiled, "I can't believe we're staying here!" Nadia nodded in excitement. The Inn's staff came right up to them, "for your bags," the bellhop said, pushing a gold luggage cart. "Thanks!" Tulip said, putting all her bags on the cart. The girls piled all their belongings on after her. "So glad you're here," the bellhop said.
"We are too!" Rosy said, gleefully. They checked in and made their way to their rooms, and took in all of the decorative scenery along the way. When Tulip opened the door, she gasped, "whoa!" The room had five floating beds, a soft sheepskin rug, and a big flat screen tv in front of them. They went into the bathroom and it had a white marble floor, a hot tub, a shower, a toilet, and multiple sinks.
"Is this for US?" Rosy shouted. "Oh. My. Gosh," Katelyn whispered. "I'm going to go scream in the bathroom now," Nadia said quietly. She closed the door and screamed in glee. "Enjoy," the bellhop said with a smile.
They collected all of their luggage from the cart and started unpacking when the bellhop left. "Anyone else want to take a break from the adventures, and just relax in the hot tub?" Tulip said grinning. Rosy smiled, "just what I've been waiting to hear." She tore off her clothes and revealed a rosy red bikini. Tulip raises an eyebrow, "you've been wearing that the whole time?" She asked. "Only since we swam at the hotel," Rosy said.
The girls had everything unpacked, and they started changing into bathing suits. Rosy walked into the bathroom and dipped her feet into the tub, "aah, just the right temperature," she sighed. Tulip came in and backed up, "get ready for a CANNONBALL!" She yelled. "No, not my hair!" Rosy shouted, covering her face. Tulip laughed and walked back, "just kidding," she said, chuckling to herself.
       Nadia, Emery, and Katelyn came in too. They all jumped in excitedly. "Stop bumping my leg, Emery," Katelyn laughed. "I'm not," Emery giggled, nervously. "Well, then who is?" Katelyn asked, in an annoyed tone.
"Not me!" They all said. Katelyn looked at them and smiled, "oh, this is a prank, isn't it?" Tulip shook her head, "I'm not doing anything I swear," she said, holding up her hand. "Seriously guys, get out and we'll see," Katelyn said, unamused. They all got out and Katelyn waited. Then she felt it again, shrieked, and jumped out of the hot tub as of it were on fire.
"Oh my gosh, someone's in there!" She screamed. Tulip reached for the drain plug and pulled it out. They heard gurgling noises until all the water drained, leaving shocking remains. A thin boy with rustled blonde hair was relaxing at the bottom. He was unharmed and calmly looking at them like he was expecting this.
"WHO ARE YOU?!" Tulip screamed. "I think you mean, what am I," the boy corrected, "and judging by the fact that I haven't drowned in this hot tub, you've probably already realized I'm a son of Poseidon, a demigod, you would call it," the boy said. "Why are you here? Who sent you? Do you work for the gods?" Nadia asked, throwing her questions like she threw a plunger at him when they thought he was crazy. "I'm here to help you on your quest," he said casually. Emery's mouth dropped in shock. "Yes I know, you're goddesses looking for Aphrodite, I've been filled in, trust me," he assured them.
"How are you supposed to help us?" Tulip said. The boy smiled again, "I know how to get into the temple, the tourist-free part of the temple, and that's really helping. You do not want to get stuck in that crowd of hopeless morons trying to get in through their only entrance."
"There's another entrance?" Rosy asked. "Yeah, but how would you know that without me?" The boy said, arrogantly. Tulip shook her head, "let's work out the details later, right now we need to sleep, goodbye, um..."
"Carter," he said.
       "Wait!" Katelyn said, holding up her hand, "how in the world did you get in our hot tub?" She demanded. Carter chuckled nervously, "funny story—"
"that we don't have time for," Tulip interrupted. Emery jabbed her finger at him, "if you ever do that again, I will summon a Venus flytrap to swallow you whole," she growled. "Okay, got it, no sneaking into the hot tub," he said, holding his hands up. "Goodnight!" Rosy said, shutting the door in his face.
