Unfortunately, he manages to take it without touching me. I am longing for his touch, for his warmth, but I try not to think about that at the moment and focus on what I need to do.
I go to the corner of the room next to the main door, and I see that the colourful light from my device darkens as I get closer to the door.
Ok, so there needs to be something here.
I move the device around it, and it starts to flash in front of the door frame. I get closer and see the trace of a perfect square cut around the right side of the frame. I try taking that piece out, but no luck.
I’m already sick of it. Without thinking about my actions, I clench my fist and hit the frame. I wince and take a step back when it opens like a hatch.
Of course, inside is a microphone. I want to take it out and smash it, but Lucas stops me at the last moment.
“They will know if you do this,” he whispers very close to my ear, making me turn my head in his direction.
He is so close to me that I can feel his breath on my face. My heart starts to beat faster. I do the stupid thing and look at his lips, imagining how he would wreak havoc all over my body.
I gulp and softly nod my head, not finding the right words at the moment. He starts walking to the room he’ll sleep in, and I follow him there, only thinking about how he would lay me on the bed and…
Okay, stop, why do my thoughts go crazy when I’m so close to him? I know he has sweet eyes and a body straight from a porno magazine, but I really do need to calm down.
He closes the door behind us and takes the device from my hand. He walks around the room with both of them, and I don’teven register when he comes back to me or how much I got lost in my perverse thoughts. I shake my head lightly, and he makes me look at the devices. I notice the lights are green and figure that we’re safe in this room.
At least for the moment.
?
We tried to find out what the third device was about, but we had no luck. We just managed to keep the green light on, and that is basically it.
Not to mention the fact that it seems homemade. Clearly not something you would usually find on the market.
At some point, I gave up and put it on the bed, looking for some other useful objects. Aside from some lanterns in different colours and two other strange devices, I haven’t found anything else interesting.
The darkness surrounds us during the search. Nothing around us is visible anymore. Not even a single light from outside.
The power outage hasn’t found the right moment to mess around.
I’m sure this hotel is haunted. That would explain so much, especially the strange noises coming from the bathroom vent.
“As we don’t have enough trouble on our mind,” I sigh.
My hands start searching for one of the lanterns among the things around us, but Lucas beat me to it, blinding me with a strong light for a second there.
“Sorry,” he mumbles, putting the lantern on the bed.
It doesn’t take long for it to die. I can’t manage to keep the dry laugh to myself, thinking that maybe I was right about thisbuilding being haunted. I won’t be surprised if I see the shape of a ghost in this profound darkness.
“Why the fuck are you laughing?” Lucas mumbles while rummaging around.
“Nothing important,” I respond, breaking up my frightened laugh.
Another light captures the atmosphere, and I seize the opportunity and take it from his hand. I don’t even mind him when he calls my name. I go straight for the candles I found during the short hunt in my closet.
I take them back to the room and light them with Lucas’s lighter, putting two on the floor and one on the bedside table. Lucas gives me an approving look, especially when the last lantern runs out of juice.
He takes the devices for the microphones and cameras and goes to the other room with them. Seconds later, he comes back angrier than before, throwing them on the bed. That’s a sign that they are still active, even with the power outage.
If they have a separate generator for these kinds of things, I don’t even wanna know what freaks are in charge of this place.
This thought alone gives me goosebumps and makes me wanna teleport myself far away from here.
