Fantasy A Visit to the Old Hotel

[RavenSong]

Somewhere in the outskirts of Los Angeles..





The fog was thick, and sirens could be heard in the distance as the echoing footsteps of a woman came into view. She had been walking for quite some time, staying in the shadows and avoiding any onlookers as she crossed the streets. The fog made it hard to see, but mysteriously, Victoria could see quite well. She came closer to her destination, her pace quickening as the anticipation welled within the vampires psyche. Surely, she could just just fly. Yet, on this particular night, she was reminiscing her former living, breathing life. Part of her missed the normalcy, even if it was now in private, or so she thought.

The ocean would soon come within hearing distance, the sounds of crashing waves and the salty mist permeated the air as the street lights seemed to welcome her to continue as they illumined the cracked pavement beneath her heels.

Soon, a commotion could be heard coming from an old hotel. The words, "No Vacancy" would buzz and flicker as the pink neon lights longed for retirement and replacement.

"You bastard! You lost my money at the casino! Why i outta-" Another shadow would appear, punching the loud man in the face. And soon a brawl would break out. One would be thrown against a car, setting off the alarm provoking the local dogs to bark in a frenzy.

Victoria, upon hearing the commotion would step closer, pressing her back against a wall, her crimson eyes peeking over as disappointment drew upon her features. Here she was, longing for even a minute of her former life without the curse of thirsting for blood when these two wasted the moments by indulging in mindless bickering. The vampire sighed, and waited for the right time to make her entrance. Her claws protracting from her fingernails as she prepared to pounce as soon as she saw an opening.

Victoria brought her hands back, now with fully expressed claws, her face contorting as her fangs grew in size and she prepared to leap at the scrimmage that was taking place, a high pitched shriek nearly escaped her widened fanged mouth when she suddenly heard the occupants cursing at someone. Something about a rock? Her menacing features quickly subsided as she heard a familiar syrupy voice echo through the parking lot before whispering to herself, "Sheena?"

The melody she sung seemed to poison the very air around her as the dense fog turned crimson, surely terrifying the two as they stood frozen with fear.

Victoria stomped her feet with annoyance, "UGH!" at her little sister who always seemed to appear at the most inopportune moments. Especially when she went out to feed.

Shaking her head, as if to snap herself out of her frustration her features contorted once more before leaping out of the shadows. Quietly as the fog, a claw slashed into the man who punched the other just moments earlier, pieces of clothing stained with blood splashed into the air. Like some kind of feral beast, Victoria dug her fangs into her wounded victims neck absorbing his vitals quickly as she glared at Sheena menacingly.

The other man would be too petrified by the whole situation to scream, he'd continually take steps back but was much too in shock to dare to turn and make a run for it. "P-please.. d.. don't kill me.." He begged as Victoria turned to face him next.

Dropping the bloodless corpse from her claws, the vampire evaporated like a shadow, suddenly appearing behind the one begging for mercy. Victoria opened her mouth to speak, her swedish accent obviously apparent, "I must say, you're beginning to convince me." She said in a strangely seductive tone. "However, calling my little sister a 'bitch' doesn't help your case, isn't that right Sheena? She's much too young to be referred to with such language."

Just as swiftly, Victoria disappeared with the man and reappeared inside the dim lit hotel room. Surely, they had made quite a bit of noise by now, if they lingered any longer they'd have to return with ill news that their father would definitively not be pleased with. Considering she had her fill with her previous kill, she decided to give this one over to Sheena, "Now, you be a good little man and think up a 'heart' felt apology. Agreed?" The man nodded, fear smeared across his face like a helpless rabbit in the clutches of a coyote.

Walking past Sheena, Victoria indifferently referred to her sister, "This one is yours.. i suppose. Make it quick." Victoria rolled her eyes as she glanced at Sheena's ever present smirk.

Victoria took the lifeless corpse opened the car and laid the body on the seat. This wasn't going exactly as planned for obvious reasons, so this called for a bit of improvising.

Returning back to the hotel room, she closed the door behind her, taking a seat as she rested her head on her palm, once again, babysitting her sibling.

Victoria had generally ignored her little sisters protests, although the blood that splattered on her dress made her feel if but a miniscule amount of empathy before looking away towards the victim that was taking steps back.

As the small vampire girl got in the mans face her features seemed to become imprinted into his psyche as her cold nose touched his. He reeked of alcohol. “I.. i.. i’m s-sorry little lady.” He managed before evaporating with Victoria into the hotel room.

He stood nervously, searching frantically for a way out but there was none, Victoria’s words as she left didn’t ease the mans fear, he couldn’t think straight, as he was simply too intoxicated to even maintain his balance. “S-stay away you little monster!” He yelled as Sheena got close, “No.. no.. NOOOOO!! ACK!!” He struggled for a moment, before finally giving into the effects of blood loss until he was nothing but a dried up corpse. A hand would slowly collapse from Sheena’s face onto the ground shortly after.

Victoria was sitting in a chair, her legs crossed one atop the other and resting the side of her head on her palm as her elbow leaned down against the table. Seemingly bored, or irritated, or perhaps both she wiped the excess blood dripping from her lips, taking a quick glance at the crimson liquid before returning to her leisurely position.

As her sibling gagged, Victoria smiled sarcastically, “Well, maybe the little princess shouldn’t have left home to feed on drunk people. Now look at you? You look like you came out of a horror scene. Father is going to be so mad at you. I’ll make sure he teaches you a lesson this time. He can’t say no.. not anymore it’s been more than three strikes.” Victoria closed her eyes and shook her head with disappointment before this horrible uncomfortable wet feeling in her ear startled her and jumped up from her seat. “What the fuck!?” She shrieked, as her hand came over her ear. She glared at Sheena before giving her a menacing fanged hiss. “You little brat!" A lecturing finger came up and pointed at the small vampire. "You're so lucky we're related, otherwise id have chained you up outside until the sunrise and watched as you turn to dust!"

“No matter what i do, i can’t ever seem to get rid of you!” She complained before Sheena brought up the early playtime break, stepping away and towards the corpse picking it up and dragging the lifeless body outside into the car as she explained. “Father wanted this place cleared by whatever means necessary, playtime is second to his orders. Didn’t he tell you this was MY misson and mine alone? How did you even get past mother?” He voice betraying her indignant feelings on the matter. Sheena wasn’t exactly the most discreet, she played too much even when things got very serious. “Ugh!” She threw the body in the back seat along with the other and closed the door. Returning to the room she closed the door behind her softly, pressing her back against the door as she looked up at the ceiling with silent frustration. “Why me?” She muttered before bowing her head in defeat.

Slowly looking up, Victoria starred at her sister, pondering through her crimson eyes. “I can’t risk you getting caught if i send you back, not like you’ll listen anyway.” She sighed. “Look we need to get everyone in this hotel out of here, we want this place cleared before morning by whatever means. We’re going to need a diversion.” Her index finger came up to her chin in thought before snapping her fingers. “Thats it! You go out there and yell “there are dead people in this car!” I’ll head to the hotel owners place and make it seem i’m responding to a call and that he must evacuate as soon as possible.” A hand came over her eyes, as the pressure of failing set in breifly, “I had a whole plan, i had eviction papers, an entire, perfectly tuned scheme.. all of it.. ruined.”

She walked up to Sheena and put her hands on her shoulders, “Look if we succeed, I’ll make sure you don’t get punished by father. I know you’re incapable of taking a serious tone to anything but this is different.. we’re taking this hotel and casino before the witch hunters find our den.” She searched the youths eyes for some kind of affirmation, her expression although that of a killer, carried a certain sense of worry she'd never shown to her younger sister.
