It was the same night the gang of the hotel escaped Eron's sacrifice by the cult
The main survivor Eron headed to bed immediately while his coworkers : Jasmine, Jayz and Joseph stayed behind on a balcony and talked
"The kid isn't half bad!" Jayz said with pride and joy, he felt like his hands are going to pop
"For the first time bug, I'll have to agree" Jasmine said with a pessimistic tone
"Oh you little!" Jayz got close to Jasmine, ready to take out his double katanas and start a a fight but Joseph interrupted them and said
"Stop it you two and get some rest, we don't know if someone attacks and we need to be ready for it... maybe Mantus himself, or Archane, or any other mutated weirdo" he said as he took another smoke
"Heh, sweet dreams princess!" Jayz said with a smirk as headed to the stairs to the second floor, where his room was close to Eron's
"Pfft, piss off" Jasmine replied with deep hatred in her eyes as she walked off as well
"Good night... boss..." she said as she walked down the hallway, the green painted walls, and the creek's in the wooden floor followed right with her
"Night" Joseph said as he took another smoke and pondered at the night sky, thinking about his new employee and if will even survive a week with these sun hating monster, ready to kill them at any moment
And as he took another smoke, he heard a voice... a child's voice through out the halls
"Daddy.... Where... are you..." the child's voice echoed through the dead green walls, even making spider web fall with its echo, as Joseph's heart begins to beat fast, and he grips his revolver
"W-who's there?" Joseph, like the first time in his life, sounded truly afraid like never before as started to walk the dead hallway, the creeks of the floor and the cob webs around the place didn't help him as he now grips his revolver like his life depends on it
"Daddy... I'm here... save... me..." the child's voice echoed more and more like it was looping in Joseph's head endlessly but...
He eventually reached the end of the hallway, with an old door slightly opened
Joseph, takes a sigh, before entering the room
In the middle, was a small child, holding a teddy bear and the only light in the room, was the moonlight
His eyes were dark, with a yellow shirt and brown hair he turned around
"...daddy?" He said, like he was scared himself
Joseph's eyes widened, like he saw a ghost
"T-t-Tom..."he mumbled, like tears were about to start pouring out of his eyes and as he got closer
"Tom" smiled devilishly as he said
"You really are gullible... old man"
While this was happening, Jayz was still not asleep, playing on his PlayStation all of them time but suddenly he heard multiple gunshots and screams
"YOU SON OF BITCH! ILL KILL YOU" it was Joseph's voice
"Shit! Boss is in trouble..."
Jayz said in a panic, grabbing his dual katanas and storming out of the room
But while he was doing that, Eron was turning and sweating in his bed, trying to sleep, but it seems a nightmare doesn't let him and eventually he wakes up in a cold sweat with tears running down his face
"Why... why can't I except the shadows of my past..."
He said as he grabbed onto his face and started bawling
"I hate this job... but I need to pay my parents back..."
He took his hands off of his face, as Jayz barged into his room
"ERON WAK-" as Jayz was about to wake Eron up, he saw him with tears running down his face
"E-eron? What happened?" Jayz asked confused as Eron quickly got up and brushed his tears aside, with his scarf more up his face then before
"Oh, nothing... just a fly flew into my eye! Haha" as Eron tried to laugh it off Jayz just continued
"Okay? Anyways, LETS GO! BOSS IS IN TROUBLE!" He yelled as another few rounds of bullets were fired
As Jayz left Eron's room, Eron himself looked around, his room was filled with shadows, just like his past that they follow him to this day
As they were trying to run to the stairs onto the third floor, Eron asked Jayz
"W-what is happening??? Does he usually does this?"
But Jayz just scoffed and said "SG never does this! Except when the cult is attacking! It must be that another member has sneaked in" he said with while now even closer to the stairs
"Okay, two things, what is SG? And why are they attacking at night?" Eron asked, still confused about the whole thing
"Because they can't walk in the sun, they will deteriorate if they do it for too long, and also SG stands for Sugar daddy, and boss told me to not call him that but he probably secretly likes it!... even though he had a wife before" Jayz said as he finally walked up the staid but his response made Eron blankly stare at a wall before getting his mind out of the gutter and following Jayz
As they walked up the stairs, they started listen for the gunshots and screams but suddenly they heard
"YOU!" From Joseph, but he didn't finish his sentence, it was a perfect cut off and it came from the last room
As Jayz and Eron were closer and closer into approaching it Eron asked
"And why don't we ask... what was her name... Jasmine! To help us?"
Jayz only scoffed at this question and said
"Last time I woke her up, she send me to the hospital! For few weeks! I'm not risking that again"
As they finally approached the door, Eron, with his entire body shaking, opened it and found...
Nothing, the room was empty and not a soul was there
The shouting, the gunshots and Joseph himself, vanished without a trace
"WHAT???" Jayz yelled as Eron got goosebumps
"B-but" Jayz was trying to say something Eron turned around and bolted to Jasmines room
And as he opened the door, she also wasn't there...
Because she was downstairs making herself a sandwich
And as Jayz and Eron were making plans on what to do and where did Joseph go
Jasmine was quietly looking for tomatoes in the fridge
"Ugh, I hate this... why does my stomach need to be hungry at this time of day!" She mumbled to herself as suddenly her eyes widened as she turned around and threw a tomato behind her
"WHO'S THERE" she shouted as she felt someone's footsteps behind her
"Jasmine... my dear... daughter..." a feline voice from the shadows, has said calmly
Jasmines entire nerve system in a second was ready for a fight to completely overheating
"N-no..." Jasmine mumbled to herself, as she took a few steps back and tears started flowing through her eyes
And as the figure from the shadows revealed itself
It was a tall, skinny and blonde woman
"I've missed you... my darling..." she said, with her dark eyes
Jasmine is full on bawling her eyes out as she runs to her and hugs her
"MOM! I missed you... so much..." she cried as she hugged her and cried into her shoulder
Jasmine was strong, supportive and full of pride and hope... but her biggest weakness... was her emotional attachment
As the woman's hands became white, sharp as knife's claws that stabbed into her skin and her face morphed into a 6 eye monster it said
"Good girl"
And as Eron and Jayz ran down into the kitchen, as they heard Jasmine scream her lungs out
They were too late to save her... again.
