The Twin Gilbert

Chapter 25: The Motel

Lydia runs over to me and holds up some of her fingers. I blink and shake my head. I finally deduce that she is holding up 3 fingers. Apparently I was wrong. She helped me onto the bus, while everyone else followed. Coach let us onto the bus because the car was out of gas.

I sat up front with Coach to help assess my head injury. I slept until Coach woke me up saying that we were stopping at a hotel because the cross country meet was moved to tomorrow. I waited outside for Lydia and Allison.

"I've seen worse..." I mumble to no one in particular. Scott turns around with a questioning look while Lydia is looking at the place in aw.

"Listen up! This is the closest motel who would accept a bunch of teenagers so we are staying here until the meet tomorrow. Pair up and choose wisely!" Coach says, as I look at Lydia and Allison.

The tree of us walk up to Coach and I say, "Since there is an odd number of students, can I room with Allison and Lydia?" He nods as I take the key and we walk up to the room.

Lydia stays back and Allison notices. "Lydia?" she asks making me turn.

"I don't like this place." She says.

"I don't think even the owners like this place." I say coming back to Lydia. "It's only one night, and you're with us!" I say pulling her along.

"A lot can happen in one night." She says as I unlock the door.

I start to feel weird so I go out for a walk around the motel. I walk back and see Boyd break a vending machine and steal some food. Stiles then grabs some food and wanders back upstairs. I follow him back to his room.

"Stiles? You ok?"

He turns around, a little taken aback. "Ya, fine!" He says before going into his room. I see Lydia and Allison walk over to another room. As I got closer I notice that Lydia is scared out of her mind. I run behind Allison as Lydia walks in yelling, "Hello?"

She turns on the light as I ask Allison, "What's---"

"She thought she heard two people shoot each other. There have been 198 suicides in this hotel, in over 40 years." Allison replies.

"They had to have been right here! there was a guy and a girl. They sounded younger..." Lydia says, looking around the room.

"I believe you, after everything that's happened," Allison says.

"Ya, I mean my sister died and came back to life, and werwolves and vampires are real." I say with a small smile. Lydia and Allison run back to the room as I wander around. I see Boyd at the ice machine, but I ignore him. I walk over to the bus instead.

As I walk over, the scene changes and I'm at the quarry. "What?"

"Ready love?" I turn around to see Klaus. I try to study my breathing.

"Ya Izzy. Are you ready to die?" I see Elena and Jenna come out from behind Klaus.

"Elena, Jenna get away from him!" I say, backing away.

"But Izzy, I'm already dead," Jenna says. I blink and see her with a stake in her chest.

"As for me, well. I died protecting you. It's your turn now." Elena says with a devilish grin. Klaus speeds up to me as I back away. He looks me straight in the eyes as I keep backing away. His face changes and he is about to bite me.

The scene changes as I feel something against my back. I look and see that I am at the motel and Boyd is with me. "What-- What happened?" He asks.

"I-I..." I can't even speak. I look at him and he is scared too. He looks over at the ice machine.
