NightCall: The Series

What a wonderful world

The girls finally made it out and to the front desk. A tall man stood with some heavy eyeliner on and long brown hair that touched his shoulders.
' can I help you ladies? '

"Yes, we want the best room that you can give us. We're with the school trip-"
Melanie smiled and leaned on the desk.

Sernia just looked through the hotel book and then looked up.
' But also if you don't mind just , sneaking a bottle of champagne up there later - '

She laughed lightly, she could tell the man had a non challant personality .
' it doesn't have to be a suite as long as it doesn't have roaches .. '

The man just chuckled slightly and nodded with a small smile, handing them a key.
' This used to be the master suite that was the original owners. I'll bring some champagne for you ladies. '

"Thank you, also. Love that cheetah print jacket, it's so cute-"
Mel winked and quickly but gently took the key from the male.

The guy smiled and nodded again, Mel handing Serina the key with a wink.
' Have fun you two... Don't be afraid to go by the bar, tell my friend Margaret, Johnny sent ya- '

Serina accepted the key with a brighter smile and nodded ,
' Expect to see us there , thank you love - ',

She takes Melanie by the wrist walking off and to the elevator and looked over at her ,
' We are set the fuck up for the night ! '

Melanie squealed and ran up to the elevator, hitting the button then got in.
"I'm so ready for the night. I hope the teachers don't walk up or in on us drinking... Should we invite the girls or-"

' of course we should -- you think I'd get liquor and not tell them ? Occasionally . '
She shrugged before lightly giggling , leaning back on the elevator wall . Melanie of course looked around and smiled.

"This is nice though... Not sure why people don't stay here much..."

Serina was nodding and as soon as she closed her eyes the elevator stopped and the lights grew weak and dim , a subtle flicker coming from the bulbs . Her eyes peal back open in almost shock , Melanie furrowed her brows and scoffed, quickly banging on the elevator button.

"Piece of shit. How old is this elevator-"

' It's gotta be ancient .. how many floors up are we ? '

It seemed like Serina was almost stuck and scared that they were trapped . She turned her head to look around before the lights completely go out . Five seconds later when the light would return to normal , there was the gentleman who built the hotel . Jasper , and Melanie wasn't even paying attention, she just looked up and hummed.

"The lights are back on but, the damn elevator isn't working..."
She continued to keep pushing the button.

Serina then yanked Melanie by the arm to hide in her chest , Her back facing the killer as Melanie would now face him . Him just leaning back in the corner, a cigarette between his teeth.
" Uh, hi?"

He lit the cigarette with a match,putting it out and tossing the burnt piece in another corner, then nodded.
'charmed , I'm sure'

Melanie just furrowed her brows for a second and looked up at the man.
"You look, familiar-"

She wasn't even scared, she was just curious.

"How the hell did you get in the elevator?"

' Of course I do , I built and designed this place ! I'm Jasper , Jasper H. Banks .. and, you are ? '
He stretched his question as his brow would rise ,
