AIDEN 

Coming g out from the bathroom, & vigorously ruffled my damp hair with the soft terrycloth of the towel. My fingers worked through the tangled strands and teased out the knots as I went. 

For some reason, I seemed to have forgotten to bring towels, and the ones I was given here were smaller than I needed. Maybe I should have emphasized that I didn’t want a face towel? 

Faced with limited options, I opted to utilize the diminutive cloth only for my hair. After all, I was the only one occupying the space, which gives me me the luxury of air–drying the rest of my body without concern. 

I padded across the carpet, my bare feet sinking into its soft fibers as I positioned myself in front of the mirror standing by the wall. 

I’d resumed my task of methodically working the towel through my hair and watching the unruly strands gradually settle into place when my eyes inadvertently drifted from the mirror to something off on the wall at the room’s furthest end. 

A knob, seemingly out of place, protruded from the otherwise smooth surface. I had noticed it earlier during my initial inspection of the room. I’d figured out it was actually a door and I commended the design and the designer, as one would never be able to tell that it was a door without taking a closer look. I was about to open the door and sate my curiosity about where it led to when a call interrupted. 

Now, I focused my attention on it again, back to wondering what was behind the door. 

Perhaps it was a cabin filled with dark secrets of the ancient kings and queens who once existed on this land. I snorted at my ridiculous thoughts. Maybe, it would be their skeletons. Or the skeletons of the people they unfairly killed. Or maybe it would be a pirate’s treasure that has been locked away for years. I imagined a bunch of pirates storming into the lodge and demanding for their treasure. 

I was smiling at my own joke when the door that had quickly taken over my mind in the past seconds was pushed open. 

I froze as I caught a glimpse of someone before the door was immediately shut close without a slam. 

I blinked at the closed door wondering if I had just made up what I would like to see. But I didn’t. Anastasia just opened that door and saw me. 

I walked away from the mirror and hurried to the door. felt mischievous as I pressed my ear to it and listened intently, I couldn’t help the smile that my lips stretched into as I heard the harsh sound of things scrapping a surface. 

This is definitely not an imagination or wishful thinking. 

To my delight, the scrapping sounds suddenly stopped. Then there was a knock on the door followed by hurried movements. There was a brief silence before my ears picked up the muffled voices that came from the other side.. 

I 

I wondered who she was talking to as I strained to hear their words or just recognize one of the voices, preferably Ana’s.

I surprised myself when I started to contemplate opening the door. 

Before I could start to further nurse any idea or even act on them, my phone rang out loudly, breaking the highly appreciated silence. 

I glared at the direction that the sound came from as I stalked toward the sound and grabbed the phone. 

I tipped my head back and let out a groan at the picture that flashed on the phone’s screen; It was a selfie of Sharon with a big smile on her face. She was calling me on video call. 

Why? I wondered irritatingly. 

I watched the phone ring as I mulled over the idea of not picking up the call. But just as that thought crossed my mind, the call ended. My phone’s screen had barely turned off when it lit up again and started to ring. 

If persistence was a person. It was Sharon.
