The Uxur, a new phantom town's best hotel with a view of beach and in the forest. But something about it feels eerie. May be it's the long and empty roads or is it the fact that I'm driving alone in unfamiliar place.
The sun is setting and I'm closer to the hotel according to the hand written directions. I drove ten more minutes and reached a hotel or more like a mansion in the middle of forest.
A golden light layered from the setting sun on to the green surface of the mansion. Perfectly elegant and vintage look that takes your breath away.
Each door and window has intricate designs and flower plants placed carefully. Covered with trees and the sound of the beach it is close to heaven in my opinion. I parked my car next to the mansion and walked up along the side of huge walls protecting the place.
A little kid approached me with a key, his clothes were dusty and his eyes were empty.
"Door opens at 333 and kiss the fated to break the curse." The boy spoke thrice the same words like a toy and I hesitantly took the key and the boy looked at my eyes and huge gush of wind followed in a blink of an eye and I was inside the mansion.
I didn't understand what just happened and I turned around, the place looked huge and I was standing in front of the wide stairs to my left a dining hall and to the right living room. I tried to open the door which faced the stairs I couldn't even budge. I decided to walk upstairs with looking slightly up I noticed a painting on the ceiling covering the entire space.
A women dressed in white walking towards the man dressed in black his eyes were jade and he looked really attractive, and the women is facing the other way so I can't make up how she looks. The way they drawn I can make up her face a little and there is no doubt she as beautiful as the man. I admired the painting at the edge of the stairs and heard a dripping sound from far, I came back to my senses and checked out each room and office space they had and none had a leaking tap.
I walked down if I missed anything while checking. The place was getting dark and the dripping sound eventually stopped I didn't know what to do I sat on the stairs and looked back at the painting something about it wants to look at it endlessly.
A loud bang gave me a shiver I traced the sound back and the door next to kitchen had opened. It led to the basement, which I never noticed the first time I been here. I lit the candle in the kitchen and stepped one foot in the basement. It gave me chills the coldness made my leg freeze up, and a distant dripping sound.
My instincts kicked in and I shut the door without spending another second. I walked back and took a breath and turned around it was completely dark. I walked with small steps hitting the unnecessary antiques, walls and reached the door with lot of cut and bruises on my legs. I started to notice someone was there next to the stairs.
Even though I am scared I wanted to check it out. I slowly walked towards it keeping my eyes on it so it wouldn't go away. As I came closer I realized it was just a plant and a coat stand next to it I turned around and screamed as I looked at myself in the mirror this I was about to cry. I held the candle too tight and broke it and I realized it would be better to do something about the light.
I walked up to kitchen mustering up the courage at first I did not want to even look at the basement door but I did it anyway only to get more scared as I saw the door slowly open by itself. And pitch black on the other side and I heard foot step behind me and I quickly turned around facing my back to the basement and suddenly someone blow the candle I was holding as I felt the cold air gazing my hand and blowing the candle to dark.
In a split second I saw red eyes looking at me I took a few steps back and fell into the basement and woke up still feeling the scary chill in my hands and the eyes that looked at me.
"Are you alright?" Mike asked me as he stood there packing his stuff in a bright windy room, I could hear people playing in the beach and the song playing on the radio in the room. "Uxur, the hotel?" I asked. "yeah. Get ready we have lot of things to do." Mike replied handing over a towel.
"when did you get here?" I asked.
"Probably early morning you were asleep I didn't want to wake you up." Mike spoke and sat next to me.
"Are you alright? They said you didn't order breakfast or the lunch, did you eat out?" Mike asked in a concern.
"I'm fine. The car?" I asked.
"Jack took it for an emergency I will get it back. It has a lot of dust it we had clean it real good." Mike laughed and got back to talking about his night. And I have feeling that piece of my memory is missing and the scratches and bruises on my legs and arms confirmed it.
