Chapter 34 - Thirty-One (Seattle Arc #1)
ERWIN
Leo is looking like he is about to make a run for it. I observe the large palace before us, which is looking like it has been cast out of a live horror movie just a moment ago up and down with a horrified look on his face. Just looking at his pale face, I can tell that his blood has gone cold in his veins. Nobody but only Ruth and I know just how scared Leo is of ghosts and shits.
Leo gets scared if he just hears something moving around in the middle of the night. Never mind if it’s a human or a mouse or actually a ghost. He is the kind of person who bolts at the sight of the nun from TheConjuring 2 and let us not mention a hotel that might be full of ghosts from the outside, anyway.
"Let’s go in." John beckons, oblivious of the fact that Leo is shuddering internally from the sight of the hotel.
I notice Ruth constantly looking over his shoulders worriedly. Maybe he is worried that Leo is too scared to even move his feet.
"Yes, let’s go in." Leo forces a smile and at last very reluctantly moves his feet.
We enter the spacious hotel lobby. It’s quite luxurious for a hotel that seems haunted from outside, I must admit. John tells us to wait and himself goes to the reception at the end of the red themed hotel lobby. After a few minutes John comes back to us with a conflicted expression.
"Umm hey guys..." John tries to avoid our curious gazes, "I think... we have a problem."
"What is it again?" I frown, "Everything about this trip is a problem anyway."
John grins nervously before saying, "We have got only three suites."
"What?" The three of us exclaim in unison, "Only three? Why?"
