A trash can full of old food crashed to the concrete ground as Heath stumbled around and grabbed the wall for support. Duece promptly rushed over and grabbed his companion's arm. "Heath, be careful!" Duece hissed, tugging his friend along. The two turned the corner and immediately met up with Clawd and Clawdeen. "In there," Clawd stated firmly, gesturing to the building. "It's an old hotel, and apparently its TVC's headquarters." Heath studied the age-worn building, and asked, "How do we get in?" Clawd tapped his chin in thought, and a nearby dumpster grabbed his attention. "I know! Jackson said he's in the presidential suite, three floors up. If we climb up the dumpster, we might reach the second floor, and then we can take an elevator up to the third floor." Everyone …show more content…
"You okay?" Clawdeen couldn't answer. She couldn't think of any words that could describe what she had just seen. Finally, she rasped, "These vampires are awful." Before anyone could respond to that, a door suddenly burst open and a hissing vampire leapt out and grabbed Duece by the arm, most likely with the intention of eating him. Duece ,however, reacted quickly and petrified his attacker, looking at the vampire in awe. "My God!" Duece exclaimed, looking at the hunk of stone in shock. "This little bastard is skinny! He might as well just be a skeleton!" It was true. The poor creature was skin and bones (well, stone, now). Until that moment, nobody present at that time could've imagined any creature could be so skinny. The group stared for a few more minutes, before Clawd turned and made his way to the elevator. "Come on; let's go, before any other creeps try to get us." They entered the elevator and set it to go up a floor, and none of them ever forgot what they had seen that day. Meanwhile, Frankie and Jackson were smiling awkwardly and trying not to be utterly disturbed by their new
Dante raised a single brow, eyeing them with the utmost suspicion as was possible of a ten year old. “What’s going on?”
Finally, he arrived. As soon as he entered the building, he saw the “Out of Order” sign on the elevator. He raced up the stairs and made it into the room just in time.
“I’ll try to get in first,” he explained. “I’m on good terms with some of the residents here.” He knocked on the door a few times, and then began to call. “Dodi? Graverobber? Tessa? Anyone?”
“Don’t worry. The police will be here shortly.” The person said with a sadistic smirk.
“Do you think.. we.. can find somewhere to stay?” Looking outside, it seemed like they were in the middle of nowhere. He didn’t even know what state they were in at this point.
Dusting off his cloak, he approached Drea’s door. The moment he stepped up, he heard the loud scrape of the bolt engaging, followed by the heavy clunk of the door bar being lowered. Strange, since Drea knew he was to arrive at this time.
A policeman is coming out the door of the station as they’re going up the steps.
“I believe I can find it on my own. The footsteps are not hard to miss.”
“So what is going on over there?” she asked inclining her head toward Pugh Chemicals. “It's like a tomb since that fat guy showed up this morning and everyone is walking around on egg shells.”
I frown. “We need to start moving. Lead the way to the alleyway, heading west. You know this building the
Get up!” She pushed her brother ahead of her and steered him away from the creature, which was quickly gaining on them. “Go toward the rocks!”
"...n...no." He entered through into a spacious, but strangely empty stage. "Whoa, what is this place?"
"I bet that was the dragon! It has my brother and father!" Maxwell exclaimed. "Let's get him!".
"This is the first room of the Ruins, if you go further you'll end up at the entrance to the Underground."
“Ma’am I highly suggest any other room in this fine hotel. Here at the Gadsden we have over 30 floors of..”
