— AFTER GETTING SAGED AND EVIDENTLY FINDING LOLLIPOPS THAT MOVED AROUND THE HOTEL ROOM, the spooky gang were ready (and terrified) for the Seance Ritual. "I just wanted to say that like we did move some lollipops to get them in like frame, but yeah, lets start this thing." Colby tells the camera before walking away to set up something.
"We got two angles this time, we got one night vision camera over on this side and we have the main camera—" Sam pauses midway after seeing the light go off then back on suspiciously.
All of them look at the back light by the bed before Rose asks out loud to all of them, "What was that?"
"What just happened?" Corey intervenes into the conversation, repeating what Rosalyn had just said.
"I just plugged my thing in but it like sparked." Colby says looking back at them as they were still sitting on the ground getting ready.
"—Oh it like short circuited?" Sam questioned.
Colby shrugged. "I guess so." Sam and Colby debunking what had just happened, lifting a small weight off of Rosalyn's shoulder.
As they set up the Seance, Corey was already begging the group to leave the hotel, ALREADY. "You seriously don't want to do this right now?" Sam asked Corey as he was the only one standing up ready to go out the door.
"Na, no, nahh, no, not after what the medium said that, like I do a lot of scary shit, but the last time we did this, you guys know what happened, and then the fucking medium saying that somethings going to happen to us like we got a lot of evidence so we can just call it a video." he rambles to the group really not wanting to do the ritual with them.
"But whatever ghost or spirits that we've been trying to capture on camera is probably here right now listening to us and is here with you, like we have to do what we want to do now before it's too late." Rose spoke up to the group, more specifically to Corey himself.
Corey fidgets around the room at her argument. "You actually don't wanna do this?" Sam broke the silence after awhile.
"I'll go in the other room.. if you guys, if I...yeah, like deadass I don't wanna do it now." Cory replies in a serious tone.
The rest of the group didn't know what to do after that. "The spirits kind of react to you the most so if you could attest stay in the room." Colby stops mid sentence.
"—That's what I don't like," Corey chuckles in a scared way, and Rosalyn could tell that he was somewhat trying to hide that.
Rose's eyes examine everyone around her, as they al had the same expression on their faces. "Can you atleast stay outside of this circle and just like not ask it anything, is that ok?" Sam suggested to Corey another less lethal option.
"Sure," he starts to walk to the little couch by the bed and sits at the edge of the bed. "How long were you guys going to do it for?" asking out of curiosity.
"Lets just each ask one question." Sam suggested to the three of them who were sitting in-front of him. "Also I'm hoping that's because you just did that but that water was rippling." Sam adds, releasing an "uhh" after and moved around to feel comfortable on the ground.
"What?!" All of them asked terrifiedly.
To try and dilate the whole situation down, he tried to assure them, "Well it was like—"he stops to show them how he saw the water ripple in the cup.
Corey gasps as he points the cup again. "It just did it again." earning a confused look from Rose.
"—He just touched it." Sam tried to reassure Corey.
He starts to nod his head rapidly. "No, as you said that Sam, it did it again." Corey explains to the group. "Tap the floor Sam, with your finger." Instead they all did it, and they watched as the cup or water didn't do anything. "Oh my goood Sam I watched it do it." their heads turn to the little pendulum Colby placed by the light to see if the wind came and moved it. "It's not moving." he says.
After awhile of just looking around the room to see if anything else moved, but nothing seemed out of place. The foursome start to get ready for the ritual, but before thy could even get started, they all heard a knock on the door, which caused an already scared/frightened Corey to get more afraid of staying inside the room. Their hands collided. Colby's hand with Rose and Jake, Roses hand with Sam and Colby, and Sams hands with Rose and Jake. They were now ready to start the ritual they've been wanting to do all night, practically.
"We're not trying to do any harm, we're not trying to come out here and like summon bad spirit, we're not trying to like disgrace it in anyway like Jake, let's be nice to it." Sam spoke up, referring to Jakes comments throughout the experience at the hotel.
"Lets just take like a couple breaths like the psychic said." as they all breathed in slowly, and exhaled smoothly. "If anyone's out there listening, we just wanna know if any noises that we heard, or spirits, or some kind of presence." Jake stops so that the being in the room can make any thing happen in the room to show them that they were here.
Then Colby had a realization. "You know what I forgot, Lucy does lollipops and doors, Corey can you open both of these doors?" Colby asks to Corey who was still sitting on the bed.
"No." he answered fast at his question, letting a slurring laugh that was laced with fear. "You want me to go open it?" Corey questioned Sam like he was insane.
"Just open door like a crack bit." Sam requested, as Corey starts to stands up to do it.
Corey looks back at Sam and asks, "Can I open it all the way?" whilst his shakey hand was on the door knob.
"—You can open it however way you want it." and with that, Corey proceeds to open the front door halfway, and the closet door slightly. "Let's see if that changes anything." Sam implied before they all hold each other's hands again.
The blonde boy looks towards his right to see Rosalyn was looking down at the ground. "Are you ok Rose?" Sam noticing her face a bit afraid and her body language like she was uncomfortable.
"Yeah, I'm fine just, thinking about something." she glances over to Colby before holding his hand tightly, as he does the same with her.
Corey agrees to the Seance after awhile of Colby begging him as he sat down right next to Colby and Jake."Spirit or presence, we-we know you're here, honestly like we've been hearing you all day, we even heard that there is a man here, a cowboy, Lucy on this fourth floor, moving lollipops, like you've moved some stuff, in our room like we know your here, just please give us a sign."
They all wait in silence for something to happen. Nothing. Rose sighs as Sam quietly groans at the fact that his plan didn't work out at the end.
"You moved the lollipops, we heard you earlier when we were relaxing, it's not time to play games anymore, use or energy show us your here, we came here for a reason we're trying to help you we want to talk to you, so if anything is here please just show us, we want to see don't be scared." not even 5 seconds later, one of the candles flicker.
Corey gives Sam a scared look before saying, "You just saw that candle." to see if he also saw it too.
"Yeah." he replied. Then they heard a sound from what sounded like the closet door AGAIN.
There hands un-collided from each other as they looked over at each other in pure confusion. "Was that the door?" Rose asked quietly to all of them. The door made a random noise again as Corey and Colby sat up from the ground after hearing what they heard.
"Wh-wh-wha-wait isn't this what we wanted, why are we stopping now?" Jake spoke up, confused on why Corey and Colby were acting like this.
"I agree, there's nothing, nothing happened, it's just a creak, we've been hearing that all night." Sam suggested trying to debunk it.
"The windows open too." Colby added, still standing up. "And the fans on."
"—Yeah, that literally could've been anything." The blonde boy tried to still debunk the noise once more.
They continued to calmly argue about whether or not the creak was a ghost or just the plain wind, Rose sat there in silence listening to them not saying a word to fire the conversation. It isn't until she felt eyes on her, as she realized they were looking at her. She immediately nods her head in no. "I am not going to be the fucking tie breaking for all of this nonsense." she exclaims, finally speaking up again. "If you guys really wanna know if it was a ghost or not, why not ask it yourselves." Rose added.
Corey and Colby sat on the ground again. "Why don't you ask it then?" Sam suggested.
Rosalyn swallowing hard at his question as she nodded and everyone collided their hands together. "Was that you who made the sound?" She asked to the spirit out loud. Then again, nothing happened, no other creaked happen in that moment of pure silence.
"God I hate this."Corey commented. "This is the last question we have, for whoever we've been talking to tonight, if there is, anything, a spirit, a ghost or entity, if there's anything in this room with us, can you please, make a sound or make something move, to let us know that you are here." Corey asked to the spirits. Sam begged quietly for something to happen, and it did.
They heard something in the closet, loud and clear. Corey bolted to the door, Rose following him. "Wait Corey!" She silent yelled for him, a few feet away from the scared boy, as she looked back seeing the boys not following her.
"I really don't want to sleep in there." she heard him comment. A sigh escaped her mouth as she continued to follow him as they took a trip down to the lobby then to the outside area, Colby and then eventually following them later on. "The fuck was that?" Corey questioned to Sam who was holding the camera. "What the fuck was that?" He added as they walked down the stairs to the ground.
Rose stayed by the entrance, trying to calm herself down. She looked to the right of her, and saw the figure she saw at the basement again, her anxiety got even worse just making eye contact with him. In the light, he looked like a gentlemen from the 1900s more than 1800s, he tipped his hat to her before disappearing as she glanced over to the group as they discussed.
She decided to not get into the fire of the fight the boys were having and walk around the hotel lobby and around the rooms, even though she knew that something could happen again. Her breath was heavy and her mind was going around the place, her heartbeat at a super fast rate, she knew she couldn't go back yet to them or else they'll ask questions.
As she looked at the previous paintings by the staircase, apart of her felt like these paintings had a certain aura to them. Going back up the staircase, and into the mirror. Pressing one hand on it, not even thinking, closing her eyes, to see the man behind her. "Who are you?" She wanted to know.
"I'm Alexander." he spoke up, his thicc British accent showing. ALEXANDER. It's him, the name that's been in her head all year.
Rosalyn swallows once more before removing her hand on the mirror and folding it into her jacket. "Why do you keep following me?" Alex thought about it for a moment before coming closer to her, she moved slightly at this actions.
"Don't worry young one, I'm not here to hurt you, atleast not you." her lip started quivering at the "atleast" part of his statement.
She stood there in bitter silence before asking once more, "What do you mean atleast not me? Why is your name stuck on my mind?", Her body spun around, apart of her thinking he will disappear, but he didn't, he was in the same spot as the last second.
"I'm your guardian angel, I guess a bit of a protector if I say so." her eyebrows furrow at his words. I have a fucking protector, What is this? "Oh it's quite easy to understand young one, but I can't tell you as of this point." he adds. Did he just read my mind? Oh god I'm going crazy. "No sweetheart your not crazy, I'm real to a point."
Now it just annoyed Rose. "Can you stop reading my mind?! This is insane how am I able to see you?" She exclaimed softly at him. Her hands enraging into her hair as she tried to think of possible explanation onto why this is happening to her.
"You have gifts Rose, that's all I can say." his voice erupted into her ears once more.
She shook her head again. "What do you mean I have gifts? What gifts do I have? Your not making any sense here!" Rosalyn by this time was actually going insane, and it wasn't because of Alex. He exhaled before looking back at the young one once more.
He thought of something, and she could easily tell by his change of expression that he was on to something. "I knew your biological parents." that's what made Rosalyn's head turn to look at him.
Her expression had grown soft. "You did?"
He nodded at her question. "I was your moms protector, she was spitting image of you Rose." a smile crept on her face as he said that.
She wanted to know about her parents all her life, and even if this was a dream, if this is the closest thing to knowing about them, might as well try. "How was she like?" curiously asking Alex what her mom was like.
"She was like you in a way." he pauses, his spiritual mind bringing up memories of her. "Compassionate, Loyal, Emotional, all things that was brought down to you, and now seeing the way you act, it reminds me of her, so careful about what you say to someone, even though you don't know someone, you know that you could trust them." his description of her mom made her feel a bit of joy inside her soul. "And like your father, you are sensitive but also strong hearted, your emotional damaged yet you don't ever want to show it." Alex adds, as he could see that she looked calmer now.
Rosalyn bit her lip slightly, trying to hold in her tears. "They sound as nice as I hope they would be." a tear escaping her eye either way.
"Hayley and Klaus were amazing individuals, they were the best people I knew that were alive, now I have a duty to protect their offspring." she looks down at the floor. "But right now your friends are looking for you, you better go to them, including one of them, I think his name is Colby?"
A giggle escape her lips as she thought of him. "Yeah." she responded quietly.
Her eyes looked up to him again before he leaves her saying, "Goodbye for now, young one." as he disappeared into thin air.
Apart of her heart broke, hoping that she would see him again, the probability about 50/50. She looked in the mirror again at her reflection. Then she heard footsteps from the staircase as Colby walked into view. "Rosalyn!" He yelled to her as he walked towards her.
She twirls around as Rose felt his arms wrap around her tightly. She chuckles at his actions before hesitantly doing the same. "So I'm just going to keep being forgotten or?" Rosalyn asks sarcastically at him.
"God I'm so sorry, we were too into our talk, then I realized once again you weren't there, then we agree that I was the one to look for you while they go back to the hotel room." he explains himself while breaking the hug apart.
His hands landing to her cheeks, her heart stops beating at that second. "It's ok Colbs, I didn't want to be involved in your guys's argument and I was really anxious so I left and walked around trying to calm myself down." she explained her part of the story.
"You should've told me, I get that your keep getting scared but atleast tell us when your going to go walk around instead of disappearing like a ghost." her mind thought of Alex when he said ghost.
Rose nods her head at his words. "I know." she said, looking down at herself. Colby grabs her chin with his thumb, forcing her to look at him once more before kissing her forehead. Her body was on fire, pure bliss and emotions running over her own head, her lips parted, a small smile forming through her lips.
"Do you feel calmer now?" in which she nods her head in yes at his question.
"Yeah, I think we should go back to the room, they must be worried about us, again." he removes his hands from her cheeks and gestures her to hold his hand. She gladly takes it, smiling at him before walking back to the hotel room. From there on, the night ended with them talking about the incident and discussing once more about whether or not to do anything else.
But she felt safe, completely zoning out, as her hands were still being occupied by Colby's hands wrapped around her. She thought about it once more, she thought about Alexander. Maybe she was crazy. But how would she know? Maybe it was a once in a lifetime experience, or maybe Alex was lying and he was a figment of her imagination, but hearing about her biological parents again, brought out the part of her that was hidden deep inside her, a very crucial topic to her. But she'd hope to meet him again, to ask him more questions about her parents.
From there on, they went to sleep. As if to make Rose feel better about tonight, his arms snaked around her waist as they wrapped around her. Her heart immediately stopping, he had never done this to her, but at the same time, she wasn't exactly complaining about the closeness or space.
The simple gesture made her feel calmer, and safe now being in his arms, like being around him was a safe haven for her. Colby Brock was Rosalyn Fray's safe space.
