You need to go back to your parents. Leave my room now!” I barked, a slight quiver of panic filled my voice.
The boy was unfazed at my sudden demand. He slowly turned his head and eyes toward my desk. He calmly walked to where my laptop was, and snatched my wallet like a freak-show ninja. He ran out the door in an instant. I hesitated just a bit and was surprised that he would do such a thing. I ran out of the room and screamed at the boy, “Milton, you get back here right now!”
As I sprinted after him, I tripped over a small crease in the carpet. I landed stomach first onto the floor, biting my lower lip in the process. I tasted a little bit of blood in my mouth and immediately pressed my tongue on the inside of my lower lip. A metallic taste resonated all over my taste buds.
I got off the ground and ran toward the end of our floor. Luckily, Milton didn’t make a left in the hallway where the elevator and stairs were. Instead, he made a right where only six rooms faced each other. There was a window at the end of the hallway, but it seemed as if it had been sealed shut.
“Milton! I know you are in one of these rooms!”
The door to my left suddenly opened. I jumped up a bit as I saw a man’s head pop out of the door.
“Sir, quiet down, please! I’m bloody tired! I just got in from my flight!” said the hotel guest, in an Australian accent. He had a weathered face, with deep wrinkles ingrained in his tanned skin.
“ I’m really sorry...I didn’t mean to...” I took a deep breath and gathered myself. “Excuse me; have you seen a boy anywhere? Wearing a baseball cap?” I asked the perturbed guest.
“ No!” yelled the man, as he shut the door shaking the walls in the small hallway.
I stood still and scanned the rest of the doors. They all were closed shut except for one. The last door on the left was slightly opened. I walked up to it and gave it a couple of light knocks.
“Excuse me? Is anyone in there, Hello?”
I waited a few seconds for an answer. I looked over my shoulder to see if anyone was watching me. I didn’t want to arouse any suspicion before peering into another guest’s room. I put the palm of my hand against the door and instantly felt an extreme cold that ran through my hand and up my arm, stopping a few inches below my shoulder. I slowly peeked through the opening with my right eye; I saw darkness and nothing else. I instantly felt the cold that had enveloped the door instantly strike my eye like a frozen scalpel. I immediately closed my right eye and backed away. “Milton!” I yelled into the room, not giving a shit if the decrepit Aussie popped his nasty neck out from his room again.
The Aussie opened the door again. “Listen, you fuckface ! I asked you politely to stop yelling. Do you want me to call security?” He paused. “You know what? Fuck that! I’m going to kick your pasty American ass!”
“ Not this shit again,” I whispered to myself. I stood straight up, with my chest slightly puffed and confronted the old leather face. He quickly centered his body and in an exaggerated manner, swelled his chest as well. His tattooed arms lay rigidly at his side, veins popping from his neck. This old bastard was assuredly tough, but I knew he was no match for my supernatural strength. The only thought that raced through my mind was, “How would I stop myself from killing him in an instant if he suddenly lunged at me?”
“ I don’t want any trouble. There is a kid who stole my wallet in that room,” I explained.
“ You think you own the world, don’t you? You guys think you’re smarter than everyone on this planet? Taking whatever you want, saying whatever you like-raping...pillaging...” said the old prick, clenching his teeth while turning redder than a mandrill’s ass.
“ What’s your problem? Can’t you see that I’m after someone who stole my wallet? How much clearer do I have to be with you? You got issues, man,” I yelled at the rage beast.
