My Queen (Posie)

Chapter 12: The Motel

It started raining right before the end of the movie. Josie and Penelope had both grabbed the blankets and pillows and closed up the trunk. They quickly got into the truck but they were already soaked. Josie had called Lizzie and they all decided they would start heading back to the school.

The rain got harder. All the girls could hear loud thunder and see cracks of lightning. Penelope's truck was in front, Hope's car at her tail. The wind was ridiculously strong. Branches and leaves were flying everywhere. The sky was completely dark.

"Penelope this doesn't make any sense. It was just sunny out today and I didn't see this on the forecast." Josie said.

"I know. This doesn't seem normal."

Suddenly Penelope hit the break. In front of them laid a tall oak that stretched out across the road. Hope hit her breaks behind Penelope and both sat there frozen.

"Call Lizzie." Penelope suggested.

^^^

There was no way to get around the tree. The tree was so big not even a tribrid could move it. They decided to turn around and find a small motel in Mystic Falls. They arrived at the Mystic Inn at around 9. Lizzie called her dad to let her know what was going on.

The motel was small but they had no other choice because none of them brought a lot of money. All of the girls ran from there vehicles to the motel. Once inside they got even more creeped out. It wasn't a nice hotel. There was so mold on the walls, cob webs on the ceiling, and an old lady sat at the check in desk.

"Why hello there girls! Heck of a storm out there." The old lady croaked.

"Yeah." Hope said slowly. "Uh we just need to rooms. One night."

"Two rooms coming right up." She turned around to grab two keys. All 4 girls looked at each other, an unsettling feeling growing in all of them.

^^^

Hope and Lizzie decided to share a room while Penelope and Josie shared one. No one minded this.
There rooms were right next to each other and there was a door that connected the rooms which made the twins feel better. The twins were very protective of each other. Neither of them liked to be separated in weird situations. Josie sat on the bed in her and Penelope's room. She was uneasy.

"Hey are you okay?" Penelope asked as she braided her hair. They didn't have any pajamas to sleep in so Josie was in one of Penelope's sweatshirts while Penelope was in a tank top she had under it. She then proceeded to walk over to her girlfriend and wrap her arms around her waist as she leaned in and kissed her neck. Josie responded by turning her head to connect her lips to Penelope's. Then Josie pulled away.

"I'm fine. This is just weird don't you think?"

"Yeah but at least we are all here together!"

"WITH THE SQUADDDDDD!" They heard Lizzie shout from the other room. The walls were very thin so of course Lizzie was eavesdropping.

Penelope walked over to the door connecting the rooms and opened it. Lizzie was leaning again the side of the wall.

"Why hello there!" She said as she walked into there room. Hope walked in right behind her.

"Guys it's like 9:30 and we've had a weird day! Maybe we should head to bed?" Penelope professed.

"Heyyyy buzz kill. And do you really think we are gonna get much sleep in this nightmare?" Lizzie said disgusted.

"She's got a point." Josie shrugged. Hope and Penelope laughed.

They all sat down on one of the beds and talked for awhile. They played never have I ever. Josie won of course. She was there innocent little puppy. Penelope even said this out loud offending Josie a little that Josie talked her and said "hey!!!"

Before they new it, it was about 10:30. Hope and Lizzie has settled back into there rooms, Lizzie was going to take a shower. Both Josie and Penelope were in there beds. Josie was staring at the ceiling. Something was off, she knew it. Penelope could probably hear this in her breath and it hitched.

"It's okay Josie."

"I know."

"No you don't." Penelope was now facing her and Josie faced back. Josie was frightened. That was obvious. Penelope moved some of her covers up.

"Come here?" She asked.

Josie got up from her bed and made her way towards Penelope's. She got under the covers and snuggled into Penelope's. She was very frightened but she didn't know why.

They stayed snuggled up to each other for awhile. Neither of them were sleeping. They wanted to stay in this moment until suddenly they heard a scream from next door.

^^^

The scream was definitely from Lizzie. Both Penelope and Josie lept to their feet. They bursted through the door to find Hope pounding on the bathroom door.

"LIZZIE OPEN THE DOOR!" Hope screamed. Hope continued to beat on door. Lizzie said nothing.

"That's it I'm coming in." Hope kicked down the door. All 3 girls piled in to find Lizzie huddled up in the bathtub covered in blood.

^^^

"What happened? Lizzie you need to tell us!" Josie professed.

"I-I was taking a shower wh-when the water was just just blood. "

"Are you sure it's blood?" Hope asked.

Lizzie raised her head for the first time.

"It's blood."

Josie grabbed a towel and made her way towards Lizzie.

"I got this guys you can wait outside."

Penelope and Hope waited outside the door while Josie cleaned Lizzie up the best she could without water. Josie turned on the sink faucet just to check. It was water again.

"What the hell." She muttered.

She put the towel under the faucet and went back to Lizzie to clean her off more. It wasn't perfect but it had to be fine. Lizzie was very shook up but slipped her clothes on and walked out of the bathroom. She was met by hopes lips. Josie walked out next.

"Guys. What the fuck is going on?" Josie said with a stern voice. This took all 3 girls by surprise. Josie never said the f word.

"I don't know but we have to get out of here. We can sleep in the cars for all I care." Hope said as she grabbed her car keys off the nightstand.

"I agree. Let's go." Said Penelope.

Hope grabbed Lizzie and held her as they made there way out of the motel room. Penelope opened the door and stumbled back bumping into Josie. In the doorway stood the women.

"Leaving so soon?" She laughed. Penelope shoved Josie behind her.

"I should've known." Spat Lizzie. "A mother fucking siren!"

The old women laughed again. She held a knife in her hand. Hope and Penelope looked at each other and back at the women

"Elso mansiopa" they chanted in unison towards the siren. She flew backwards

"Go go go." Yelled Hope.

They sprinted to their cars and hoped in. Penelope started the car that she and Josie were in. As the headlights beamed on they saw the old ladies figure. She still held the knife.

"What do we do?" Josie asked. Penelope's stare never left the figure.

"Buckle up." Penelope demanded. Josie did as she was told.

She put her foot on the gas. Josie closed her eyes and the truck hit the siren. The sirens figure laid still on the concrete, blood surrounding the body.
