The Lost Demigods 

'''Chapter 6: Welcome to the Hotel of Damnation '''

I didn’t know what time it was or where we were. Maybe around 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm. The sky was getting darker, the first signals of the night were appearing, the moon was white and round, and some stars were forming constellations. But I couldn’t keep thinking, we needed to run. I didn’t know where we were going, maybe Marco was threating us, but if he was, why had he given us the weapons? If he attacked us, we had our swords to attack us. But that didn’t matter, I trusted him, and that was a big thing, because I actually trusted very few people. I was getting tired, I wanted to rest.

“Hey, di Scuro!” Max shouted an Marco turned nodded. “Where are we and where are we going?” Yes, finally someone had asked. I couldn’t have asked, I could have sound weak. I couldn’t let them see me like that, I needed to be strong. If actually I was a demigod, and those monsters weren’t only dreams, we were in serious problems.

“6:30 pm,” Marco said. “We are in Camden, Arkansas. I’m going to take you to a place where we will sleep and rest. Then, we will continue running.” I needed water. I grabbed my backpack and took out a bottle of water. In less than one minute, I finished it all. I was extremely thirsty. We ran, ran, and ran. We ran about twenty kilometers. But finally, we arrived. We stopped in a lonely street. No cars could be seen. There were no houses, and there were no people. There was only one building. It was a tall, maybe eight stories, grey building. It was only lighted with small lamps. Its sign was made of wood, some letters were falling. But I could read a bit. It was in Greek. Ξενδοχεί της κατδίκη… Htel of Dmaton? Mmm, I guessed my ADHD wasn’t helping. I only wanted to enter that place.

“Welcome,” Marco said. “To the Hotel of Damnation!” Ohhh, that was the name. Some letters had fallen, that’s why it said Htel of Dmaton. I wanted to enter. “Come” he said. We entered. The walls were painted of grey. It had an olive green carpet as floor. When we enter, a… zombie? Told us that welcome. Marco asked for a room. They gave us the D-19, the last room of the story highway. While we walked, we heard a lot of noises. Laughs, screams, murmures. Marco was grabbing his sword. Every time we heard strange voices and noises, he touched the doors with the tip of the blade, because according to him, it absorbed the essence of the monsters.
