Hotel Selten

Chapter Ten

Ophelia slowly wakes up from her slumber.

She looks around the room she is in. 'This is actually my room in the hotel'. She looks at the window of her room, it's kinda dark. She tried to rise to her bed, "Arggh..."

It was a failure, she fell back. Her head aches so much, especially the back part. She looked at the ceiling and took minutes thinking about what happened to her.

'What happened to me? I just recently remember that I was outside the hotel. I am in the hotel still. The hotel isn't a dream, just proved it earlier... Is it earlier? I don't know.'

"What time is it?" She asked herself, she looks around for a clock. She failed to find one. She groans as she tries to push herself to rise from the bed. She forces herself to get out of the bed even though her head badly hurts. She walks through the room while rubbing her eyes, her brown hair is still messy. She holds the doorknob as she lifts her head, hoping it will solve her headache problem. It didn't.

She sighs and opens the door of her room, her hands holding the door frame, she looked around the hallway. The lights are open and no one's here. She stepped out of her room. She was looking at the staircase just near her room, which, as she remembered, lead to the dining room and living room of the hotel.

'Wait...'

She traced back what happened to her. She remembered being caught by Thilda, which Peony witnessed. She heads to the staircase as she thinks about it more. Then, they went to the living room of the hotel.
She stepped on the last step and looks around, she was welcomed with an empty dining room and living room. She wanders around.

'Where is everyone?'

The only thing she can hear is ticking, she followed the noise. She found a circle wall clock. It was already 4:35 in the morning. 'That explains the silence.' Her head turns to the living room and picture what happened there yesterday. She then goes downstairs, since Miss Eve took her on a tour. She went back to the hallway where her room was, she walked by her room and took a turn on the corner of the hallway. She turns her head to the right and found the door where they exited and must be the door to the back of the hotel.

She silently approaches it, trying not to wake others up. Once the door is in front of her, she opened it slowly and peeked outside. It's still a bit dark, the only light source was the lamppost which is thankfully lighting up the path. She went outside and looked around.

The cold breeze caresses her cheek and her hair blows with the wind. She shivers as she walks to the stone path. She looked around, it was the other two housing buildings of the hotel. She remembers that a lot, and by a lot, there were 10-15 people who greeted her here. Her lips curved as she remembers it.

She continues to walk, there was no one wandering around the lot except her. She kept walking until she reached the end of the path, which stops at the training grounds. She looks around, she remembered some people were fighting here. She stopped for a bit and her eyes got widen.

She runs to a bush and checks it. She smiled as she saw the fake grass. Now she remembers everything.
She was in the lab when everything happened. There was a blinding light. Minutes later, she felt a great forced that pushed her. It was painful, the last thing she saw is Miss Eve fell on the ground and darkness surrounds her.

She lifted the fake grass (with a plank under it), and went down the underground hallway. She opened the lights by twisting a familiar sculpture on the wall. She went up to close the entrance. She turns around and looks around the hallway.

'I wonder how is Blaise?'
She starts to walk through the hallway and find Blaise's tech laboratory. She was gonna turn right when she heard some chatters.
