And as the story goes, on an eerie night just like tonight, the family that used to lived in this very land were killed by the burning flames, stated the old lady. The red hot fire engulfed them one by one — the married couple and even their young daughter.
After the tragedy happened, numerous stories about sighting that family spread out throughout the city like wild fire quickly spreading towards the vast forest.
Many buildings were built here before. Even before this hotel.
But where are they now? They didn't last. It is because of those ghost haunting the place.
After hearing the nerve tingling story, fright began to crept from Raine's body. The question whether she can still go to sleep that night started to play inside her mind.
She went back to her room. Her eyes travelling from one place to another. Checking if something's really out there.

Shocked about what she heard. "But what are you saying that to me?" She doesn't want her friends to know her plan which she thought was very dangerous for them. "Wait! Aren't you sneeking around the corridor to solve the mystery of Mister Deniega's death?" Zane asked. Confused. "N-No," Raine hesitated, "No, I'm not. I'm just... just waiting for... for the old lady next to our room to come out." She leisurely walked away

We both saw that transparent skin and those red eyes coming straight towards us!" Zane stated. Out of curiousity, Raine opened the room again but even before she can type the first number on the security lock, Zane and Lani blocked her. Zane stood in front of her whereas Lani grabbed her hand. "What are you guys doing? You're ruining my investigation!" asked Raine. "We're just saving you from that thingy," Zane answered. Still trying to block her way towards the buttons. "There's no such thing as ghost! Now if you please just excuse me!" Raine shouted, "If you don't want to help then... then go away! I don't need a help from you amateurs anyway!" Hearing those words, the two was stunned. Seemed to be stabbed by their own best friend.
