82 A Floridian Arrvial
“Okay, let’s put them on,” September said, as she and the others then strapped it around their backs.
As for me, Nikki put it on me and helped me with the straps. “You sure you’re gonna be okay?” she asked. “It’s a parachute,” I chuckled, as I tried to act tough. But the truth was, I was scared.
But I knew I had to do this. So, with that, we all jumped off.
The wind splashed against my face, as I freefell towards the ground. But then, the parachute opened and I was slowly drifting down.
As I looked up, I saw Nikki and the others following close behind me. And as we landed on the ground, I let out a sigh of relief.
We made it. But now, we need to find a way off this island. If we were even on an island anymore, that is.
“Okay, can we get a GPS up in here?” Malachi asked as he looked around. “I think we’re a little bit lost.”
“Good idea,” September said, as she pulled out her phone. She then started to type something in. “All right, I’m gonna see if I can get a signal,” she said, as she held up the phone.
“Good idea,” Tisiah said, as he then pulled out his phone.
.....
But as for me, I just stood there. I didn’t have a phone. And even if I did, I probably wouldn’t have service here anyway.
But then, Nikki walked up to me and handed me her phone. “Here, use mine,” she said.
I smiled, feeling very weird from the sudden handout, but I took it anyway. “Thank you,” I said, as I then put it in my pocket.
Now, we just need to find where we are and maybe, we can find a way off this rock.
Then all of a sudden, September smiled. “Alright, I found something. But apparently, we’re in Florida.”
“Florida?” Tisiah wondered as he raised an eyebrow.
“Yeah, I’m not really sure how that’s possible,” September said, as she shook her head. “But we are.”

“Yeah, me too,” I said, as my stomach then growled.
“Okay, Nikki can you make us a car or something to at least get us from this misty place?” September asked as she turned to Nikki.
“Yeah, I can try,” Nikki said, as she got her wand out. She then started to wave and she got out of one of those Genesis luxury cars. “Oooooooowe,” she said, as she then rubbed her behind.
“What happened?” I asked.
“I sat on a rock,” she said, as she then got in the car.
I then chuckled, as I got in the passenger’s seat. And as we drove off, I couldn’t help but think about what just happened. “This car feels good to drive,” September said, as she then turned to Nikki.
“Yeah, it’s very comfortable,” Nikki said, as she nodded her head. “It’s why I specifically chose it. Because I sat on a rock.”
“You could’ve gotten a booster seat,” Malachi said, as he then buckled his seatbelt.
“Yeah, I probably should’ve,” Nikki said, as she then chuckled. “But I didn’t want to look like a child.”
“Well, you kind of are,” Malachi said, as he then crossed his arms.
“Am not,” Nikki said, as she then stuck her tongue out at him.
“You both are acting like children,” September said, as she then shook her head. “But anyway, we need to find a place to stay for the night. It’s getting dark.”
Malachi then yawned, as he then stretched his arms. “Yeah, I’m pretty tired too,” he said.
“We all are,” Nikki said, as she then rubbed her eyes.
“All right, let’s find a place to stay then,” September said. “Someone search up a hotel so we know where to go.”
Nikki then typed something into her phone and a few seconds later, she then nodded her head. “I found one,” she said, as she then handed the phone to September.
“Okay, let’s go there then,” September said, as she then put the GPS. I would like to know which hotel we’re going to, but I’m pretty tired too.
All of a sudden, Nikki yawned and she then leaned her head against the window. Everyone was about to doze off into dreamland, but I was still wide awake.
I then looked out the window, and I saw the lights from the hotel in the distance. It looked beautiful, with golden walls and many windows.
It looked like a palace, and I was in awe as we got closer and closer to it. Finally, we arrived.
“Okay, we made it, get up from your slumbers,” September said. Malachi complained, “We barely even slept.”
“Yeah, I know,” September said, as she then got out of the car. “But we’re here.” We all entered the car, and we then looked at the hotel.
It was even more beautiful up close. It looked like it was made for royalty, and I felt a bright feeling emanating from it.
“Let’s go check in,” Nikki said, as she then walked towards the entrance.
We all followed her, and the doors opened on their own. We then walked into the lobby, and it looked like something out of a fairytale.
The chandeliers were beautiful, emitting light shining down on us. The floor was polished white marble, and there were many paintings on the walls.
It looked like a very luxurious hotel, which I’m positive it is, and I was in awe as we walked to the counter. There was a woman with blonde hair behind it, and she smiled as we approached.
“Welcome to the Hennesy Palace Hotel,” she said. “How may I help you?”
“We’d like a room for the night,” Nikki said. “We’ll pay you tomorrow.”
“Of course,” the woman said, as she then got a key. “Here you go, room 1212.”
“Thank you,” September said with one of the fakest smiles on earth, and we then walked to the elevator.
We got in, and it took us to the 12th floor. We then walked down the hall, which was filled with doors.
We finally arrived at our room, and we walked in. It was a beautiful room, with two beds and a TV.
“Okay, this is our room,” Malachi muttered, as he then plopped down on one of the beds.
“Yeah, it is,” Nikki said, as she then yawned. “Man, today was crazy, I’m exhausted.”
“Yeah, me too,” September said. “But at least we’re safe now.”
I sighed, as I then sat down on the other bed. It had been a long day, and I was ready to sleep.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLike I never expected to be in a place like this, in a hotel as luxurious as this. I never thought my life would take such a turn, but here I am.
But the only thing in my head right now is Rocke, my obsessed enemy. I wonder what he’s up to now if he’s still following us.
I then sighed, as I tried to push those thoughts out as I lay down. But all of a sudden, I saw a figure coming over to me.
“Hey uh, Connor,” Nikki said, as she then sat down next to me. “Can I talk to you for a second?”
I sighed, as I then turned and nodded. “Sure,” I said.
She sighed. “Remember when I said I liked you?” she asked, and I nodded. “I know it may have been jarring for you, and I just wanted to apologize for not giving you time.”
“Well, you were injured and you were probably a bit on edge,” I said. “It’s okay, I understand.”
She sighed in relief. “Thank you,” she said. “That’s relieving.”
But she stayed, and our eyes continued to make contact. It felt awkward but pulling at the same time, and I didn’t know what to do.
So, I just remained still, as we just looked at each other. And eventually, she got up and left. I could only just sigh, as I then turned back.
I’m not sure what that was about, but I just hope she’s not going to be weird around me. I just closed my eyes and tried to sleep, as I hoped for a better tomorrow.
But all I could think about was her, and how I felt when she was close to me. It was confusing and frustrating, but I couldn’t help but feel something.
I then sighed, as I knew sleep would be evasive tonight.
It had been a long day, so I needed it. But my mind was racing, and I had a feeling that tomorrow would be just as eventful.
Preview:
Finally, my eyes clicked open the next day, and the first thing I saw was the TV.
I then turned and saw that Nikki and September were both still asleep, but Malachi wasn’t in his bed.
I looked around and rubbed my eyes, as I then got up. I walked to the door and opened it, to see Malachi sitting on one of the chairs in the hallway. He seemed the same way I was, tired and disengaged.
“Hey,” I said, as I walked over and sat in the chair next to him. “You couldn’t sleep either?” He shook his head. “Just woke up early, that’s all.”
“Yeah, me too,” I said. “I just feel really on edge.”
“I know what you mean,” he said. “You must be mad Rocke has your power again.”
