The North Forest Lake Hotel Part Three

WARNING! MAY TRIGGER THOSE WHO ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH HORROR AND GORE!

What we know, but Jen didn’t believe was that Leroy was truly dead. Jen had to run around the receptionist and up to the fourth floor and see the beaten and bloody body that was nothing more than a messy pulp. Poor Leroy was a great man but died brutally and painfully that he did not deserve. Then Jen woke up the professor and the rest of the kids, they all met in the boys’ room to talk about what happened.

“What do you mean Leroy's dead?” Nick asked.

“I saw his dead body!” Jen cried, “He is dead!”

“How?” Florence started to say

“Because you all went to room 666!” The receptionist said.

“How does that correlate?” Tyler asked.

“You let it out!” The receptionist answered.

“Let what out?” Professor Johnson asked.

"It!” The receptionist said “Does it matter what it is? We won’t be alive to document it! There is no way to kill it! The government tried! It killed one hundred and forty-six fully trained soldiers in 1896!” It is unkillable!”

Everyone sat there, shocked expressions on their face. All of a sudden the ceiling started trembling.

The receptionist laughed and said “It’s here! There is no escape! It’s only a matter of who is next!”

Everything was quiet except for the laughs of the receptionist and the large footsteps above them. All of a sudden a hand broke through the ceiling and grabbed the receptionist, it brought her up and the sounds of bone-cracking filled the room.

“Run!” Professor Johnson said. Everyone ran to the door, went on the parking lot and ran to the bus. Professor Johnson opened the door and the kids ran in. The professor jumped in the driver's seat and put the key in the ignition. He turned it but the car didn’t start. He opened the bus door and opened the hood. He came back in and said…

“The battery is gone! I’m gonna go find it!” He opened the glove department and took out a colt model 2000 and a box full of ammo. He loaded the gun and said, “Does anyone here know how to use this?”

Kyle raised so the professor gave the gun and the box to him.

“Do you know where the safety is?” Professor Johnson asked.

“Yes,” Kyle said trying to stay strong for Marry who was right next to him.

“I am going to go find the battery I will be back.” Johnson said.

Johnson ran out the door. He went around the side and under room 666. He went to the back of the building and looked around. He drew a Ruger P90 series and held it ready. He cautiously walked around the thick woods around the hotel. Until he found it. The battery. He put the gun in its holster and picked up the battery and ran to the bus.

Tyler saw him coming first he yelled to the others.

“The professor is back!”

They all ran to the front of the bus and saw Professor Johnson running toward them with the car battery. The students cheered him on when something flew out of the hotel and hit the professor in the chest. The item that hit him was a spear. That spear was now embedded into the professor's chest. He whispered his last words as blood rushed out of his body...

“So…close,”
