I was standing in the entryway of the dissipated hotel, in the exact spot of where I had thought I'd seen the black phantom. As I was looking forward I had seen several halls, although I couldn't entirely tell how far these halls had leaded. There had also been an extended staircase in the middle of what seemed to be the living room. The place was covered in dust and webs, there had been little light which had been coming through the stained glass windows. This place is just plain creepy. I had thought.

I could see the horrified look on both my parents faces. The only reason why they bought this rubbish place was because we are on a budget and it was the cheapest place for sale; I mean they should have known to look more into it but they had been so eager to start a business and as I had said we are on a tight budget if my parents hadn't bought a place soon we would be homeless.

Anyway, I'd snapped out of my thoughts and told my parents that I would go find my bedroom. My mom had told me it was upstairs, take a left, then walk straight and take a right, and I would see one of the rooms that had the number 13 and that would be my room, hopefully for only the summer.

So after I had gotten the directions from my parents I walked stealthily towards the rotten looking staircase and took minute steps until I was a couple feet away from the top floor. Although it had almost seemed like time had just stopped, which was when I had seen razor- sharp metal cast out of a dim corner. The pointed sword was headed towards me. My eyes bulged open and I was too shocked to move, then I had felt excruciating pain spread throughout my body. I fell back crashing down to the main floor once more and finally I was lying, motionless, in front of my parents' feet. Their eyes had been stricken with fear. Then, slowly, I had managed to move my eyes to where the aciculate sword had stricken me, the layering of my clothes had been sawed through and my blood had discolored them. I felt so weak and helpless, I was rapidly losing my blood. Then finally my hazelnut colored eyes had shut, and everything had blacked out.
