The hotel Kylie found is called the Sawgrass Mills. Its rated four and a half stars and is very expensive. I get a weird feeling but try to reassure myself.

"Where'd we get the money for this?" Trenton asks.

"I don't know. I woke up with an envelope on my stomach full of money and a note saying that this was the nearest hotel," Kylie replies.

"Then lets go check in!" Kathryn says cheerfully. I fall back behind the others to tie my worn shoes and Nathaniel stops to wait for me.

"Nathaniel, does this seem a bit odd to you?" I ask him.

"Well, it's not everyday you wake up with an envelope full of money, but hey! It's you lot. You guys aren't exactly normal," he says with a grin.

"You aren't either!" I laugh and we run to catch up with the others. We follow the other into the fanciest hotel I've ever been in. The lady at the front desk looks up from her computer to help us.

"Oh! You must be the note party! We have your rooms all ready. We just need the payment, then we can get you set up quickly," she says, typing rapidly. We all exchange surprised looks.

"Um there must be some mistake. We didn't book rooms," Kathryn says.

"Don't be silly. You're Kathryn Jones!" the woman replies with a bright smile. I glance at Nathaniel and he raises an eyebrow. I nod back at him. This is weird.

"Your rooms will be 221 and 222. Bellboy! Show these guests to their rooms," the clerk says, her smile as bright as ever.

"Right this way," the bellboy gestures to the elevator. We cram in and head up to floor 13. This hotel is absolutely beautiful. The red, soft carpet complimented the golden walls perfectly. It felt so comfortable and like home. We walk down the hallway and stop in front of room 221. Trenton opens it and we all gasp. It's absolutely beautiful. Soft lighting filled the room and the cavernous ceiling proved we were on the top floor. A bathroom was off to the side and across from that were two bunk beds with clean, white sheets. A couch lines the wall. A small microwave and refrigerator was set up in a small cooking area with a table and chairs. A door joined 221 with 222 so we were all together. The guys settle in room 221 while the girls settle in 222. We still have some money left over, so we all agree to go shopping. Down the street is a small shopping mall so we all buy some new clothes. After the mall, we stop by the grocery store to stock up on food. Later in the now we make it back to the hotel. We say goodnight to the guys and settle into our room. Kathryn and I talk while we wait for Kylie to finish in the shower.

"How are you feeling?" Kathryn asks as she braids my wet hair.

"Not as sick. Just exhausted." I laugh.

"Same. I'm completely worn out running around with you guys!" Kylie comes out and we all climb into bed. I climb up into the top bunk and Kathryn settles under me. Kylie settles into the top bunk across from me. We exchange goodnight then fall to sleep.

I wake up a two hours later to Trenton yelling. Through the open door, three tentacles reach through, trying to grab us. I yell for the other girls to wake up. Kylie dodges one tentacle, but gets smacked in the face with another. I watch as she falls unconscious and the tentacle scoop her up. Kathryn screams and kicks, trying to get out of Slender's grasp. Then suddenly, she falls limp as if she fells asleep. My eyes grow heavy and I feel a tentacle wrap around me.

"Here we go again," I whisper to myself then fall into restful sleep. I wake up a few hours later in the middle of a deserted hallway all by myself. But that's not the scary part. I find a letter addressed to me in fancy red letters.

   "Dear Ms. Johnson.

Hello. Is this real or fantasy? Your world may seem real, but that is not the case. How to get out? Be clever. You may find your friends along the way. Thank you and enjoy your stay at Sawgrass Mills Hotel.

                 Sincerely,
