“ This’ll be fun! Think about it- A beautiful hotel for you to stay in, your cousins, and a very nice town!! You’ll be able to go on adventures and- “

…

“ And—.. “

Your mother saw your expression in the rear view mirror and sighed. Your parents divorce hadn’t been nice at all. Did divorce run in this family or something…??

“ . . . W..Well! Looks like we’re here!! And look! Isn’t it beautiful? “

Wow— This hotel was huge…

Parking and getting out, the double doors opened and your aunt Katherine walked out with your cousins, Ben and Esther.. along with some kid dressed like a pilgrim. . . Who was that???

Your mother hugged Katherine tightly, both women giggling like schoolgirls at the sight of eachother.

“ I’m so happy you came! Ben, Esther, you remember aunty! Right? The one who— “

“ Tried to mow dad down with a car cause he wouldn’t pay child support??? “

Ben asked.

“ …Yyyes? “

The sisters giggled awkwardly before your mother lit up at the sight of the mystery boy.

“ Oohhh! Who is this?! “

“ I am Abaddon- King of Co- “

“ King of Naps!! Naps! “

You saw Abaddon frown— Did his eyes turn red???

“ There they are! “

Katherine smiled at you.

“ Can I have a hug?! “

She opened her arms wide and approached you- The hug was awkward but warm.

“ Let’s grab your suitcases- Esther, help me and your aunt, Ben, help your cousin. “

You were already in the trunk- Lugging out your suitcase. Abaddon popped his head up from the backseat.. how the HELL did he get in there?!

“ Do not disturb the deer- I will not have my alliance tampered with by some fleshy, short-lived, mortal. “

. . . Okay- Weird.

Katherine walked with your mom. Esther was calling for Ben to hurry up-

“ So- Who’s the little one? . . . Nathan had a— “

“ No- Nono Nathan never— He.. He found Abaddon in the woods, if you believe it— “

You looked around at the front entrance- Your eyes catching a figure in the window with a big excited smile— He looked like your uncle Nathan— But when you blinked, it disappeared.

This place gave you a weird feeling.
