Chapter 10: Chapter 10

Silence envelops the four corners of this room. I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I was seriously looking at the woman in front of me. When was the last day I stared at myself like this? I rarely look at my face in the mirror, more often just look at my clothes.

I get dizzy every time I look in the mirror with my own eyes. I feel like there are things that explain it even though, I, myself don't understand.

"Ms. Quinn?" I immediately lowered the comb and circled towards the door, knocking on it three times before she opened it.

"Is there a problem, Ms. Mona?" She just shook at my question and went inside.

"Are you okay?" She asked, I slowly stood up and approached her.

"I have some questions for you, have you been here for a long time? How well do you know Florence?" I stopped in front of her and she nodded.

"I was among those who died at a party then. This place is not really like this, but since this place was abandoned, the Grim reapers thought of staying here and because sir Florence was one of the soldiers who stood up. for this place. He was chosen to rule over it. Here they bring souls before they deliver. " Long explanation from her.

"How are those lost souls? How is that?" I still can't get what Keir told me until now, then I saw almost all the Grim reapers here in the hotel, but Keir isn't here.

"Those were missing souls who went with the people who used to visit here. Everyone who was killed here was left behind and the soul remained in this place, but when someone visits and talks about the history of this place. There is a soul attached to them and when they leave, it follows. Not everyone can be found by the Grim reapers, but since sir, Florence has tightened. No other soul can get out of here. "

I don't know if her explanation was just confusing or deliberately weakened to pick up my brain since I fell.

"Do you still have an unfinished business so you haven't left yet?" She just smiled at my question.

"Not me, it's sir Florence," she replied.

"But why did you here?"

"Because we want to. We want us to leave at the same time, for that opportunity we are at the same time to be reborn, but until we find someone else we can't leave yet." I stared into her lifeless eyes, but why was her smile so bright? I wanted to ask, but Cora called her right away.

"All right, I'll just come out later." I smiled and then she finally left.

After that I closed the door again, I went back to the mirror and looked at my white off-shoulder dress, it still had lotus embroidery in the middle. I even sat down to adjust the placement of my hairpin, which was good and I easily removed the knot of my hair.

Before I stood up I stared at my reflection again, I hope I can ask who she is or who am I?

Clear night, the breeze is nice even the stars in the sky are so beautiful. I still close my eyes while breathing the fresh air, I'm just new here but this feeling, it's like I've been doing it for a long time.

I walked outside and saw the fountain where I was sitting. It was made of stone and two people seemed to be dancing, the one on top and I think with their hand raised water was coming out. It looks like wishing well in ancient times.

When I had never seen this hotel so beautiful, this fountain was old and full of moss and dry plants were around, but now it looks like a new place because of the nice painting, even the plants around it are so beautiful.

"But why isn't it turned on?" I whispered to myself, how beautiful is it then they don't open it? They can't save water. There is something like this in their aunt's house so I know something is just pressing it to open.

"There you are." I excitedly pressed it and was even more surprised when the poles around it suddenly lit up, I even heard the splash of water that was now continuously flowing. I was still amazed at how beautiful it was.

It feels good to see something like this, even though it's not my first time, the sound of the water and its brilliance when the lights hit me is strange.

I stepped closer to it, I sat on the side and dipped one hand, I felt the coolness of the water. Why do they just neglect such a beautiful place? It's quiet and it's nice to hang out.

As I waved my hand in the water, I was stopped by something I felt floating. I would have been scared to see that it was just a lotus flower. I was alone but I still laughed at my reaction, it was really good and no one saw me.

"It's nice." I immediately took it with my two palms, this is the lotus flower in the picture, it is black but it is very beautiful. I lifted it and hit the light of the full moon and there I saw more of its true beauty. It feels so light.

"Who said this fountain can be opened?!" I immediately looked at the speaker, even though I couldn't see him I knew whose voice it was. He is the only one who is hostile when he speaks all the time.

I didn't want him to ruin my happy moment, only now did I have silence. No one forbade me to come here and I still feel very light in this place, so even if he shouts I won't leave here.

"Quinn? Who the hell told you–"

"Look at this lotus, isn't it beautiful?" Even though I was disgusted with him I tried to be nice. I saw the shock in his eyes and he seemed to be a statue the moment I showed him the lotus I was holding.

Smiling I stood up and approached him, he was speechless. His eyes were fixed on my face, so I raised the lotus and he just paid attention to it.

"Isn't that nice?" I even danced it in front of us and played with it like a child, but his eyes stopped hitting me. His eyes were trembling and shock was obvious. As for its overacting, is it his first time seeing a lotus? Or maybe he found how beautiful I was?

"Y-you? Who are you?" It even receded after he asked. I frowned at him, what does he say? He just called my name.

"I'm Quinn. what's wrong with you?" I approached but he backed away. Is my face scary now? What is happening to him?

"Impossible, but how can that happen?" His mischievous eyes continued to stare at my face.

"What–Hey! Where are you going?" What was that? What about the strength of that person's right, suddenly leaving? The woman was still defeated, I should have walked out, and wasn't. It's different when it becomes a ghost, the mood wings also change. Ghost men are a different kind, the woman is even better.

I just shrugged and went back to the fountain to return the lotus. I need to go out now, maybe one outside I'll see Keir who looks like Florence. Of course, I didn't ask Cora or Mona why Grim reaper of lost souls and Florence look alike. It doesn't matter that I just ask Keir.
