Chapter 3 - The Last Leg

I'm abruptly bought out of my dreams by a blaring alarm. I recognise the alarm all too well. My hand sleepily reaches out to where my phone is going crazy on the nightstand and with one clumsy swipe, the alarm stops. Closing my eyes again I bask in the morning haze. Sleep still trying to lull me back to dreamland.

Birds chirping outside catch my attention. Their songs fill me with a calmness and I begin to wonder what they could be talking about. I've always loved making up silly scenarios in my mind. It helps me to escape the sometimes cold reality I live in.

My thoughts are shattered as a second alarm goes off. A groan makes its way out of my throat as I drag a hand down my face. Once again my hand reaches for my phone. This time I pluck my phone from the bedside table.

Checking my notifications I can see that Victor is the first one awake. Then Caitlyn, Jayce and lastly Vi. Well, that's if I don't count myself. I suppose I'm the lazy one here.

A smile lights up my groggy features. "How ironic, I'm not used to being a late riser." I think to myself.

House of Horrors

Vickor = Nerd

Good morning. Did everyone sleep well?

Sheriff Caitlyn

Good morning Viktor. I did, surprisingly. Did you?

Jayce (Golden boy)

Morning. Is everyone ready for another long car ride?

Vickor = Nerd

Eh, I've slept better. There were some... strange noises coming from the room next to me.

Good morning Jayce. How long is this "long car ride"?

Strange noises? I wonder if... Surely not? Hm, maybe it was just someone getting murdered or a cleaner. Murder would make for a more interesting story, a morbid one sure, but interesting. Mr. Mcflannly would be very impressed with my findings if it were.

Vi

What kind of strange noises?

Sheriff Caitlyn

Morning Jayce.

I'm sorry to hear that Viktor. Hopefully there won't be any strange noises when we get to Grove Hollow.

Vi

What's that supposed to mean Cait?

Me

Morning everyone.

Don't tell me it was moaning, Viktor.

I wouldn't count on there being no "strange noises" while I'm around. I've been told I sound like a pterodactyl when I stretch. Which is just absurd. If anything, I sound like a harpy.

Jayce (Golden boy)

Do you ever think about what you type before you send things, Y/N?

Me

I do. I think very intensely about my words. Thank you Jayce. And I am not the only one who thought it was moaning.

Vi

What other sounds would be coming from a hotel room and what the hell is a harpy?
