The Hotel Azrak of Okaneville

In 1988, it was a winter time in Okaneville which is known for it’s Prestigious 7 Star Hotel, “Hotel Azrak” which is located in the deep forest.

For tourists and visitors who loves to spend their time in nature as well as luxury they pay their visit to Hotel Azrak during their weekends and holidays.

Being a luxurious 7 star hotel, it has a dark secret which no one really knows but some forest dwellers talk about eerie stories related to that hotel which no one pays much heed to.

The forest dwellers usually say that there are some evil spirits in that hotel which is in room number 267 where once a hotel manager used to live with his family. It was a tragic story that the hotel manager killed his wife and 3 childrens of which 2 were girls and one was a boy who was only 6 months old. Well! The actual story is still unknown that why he killed his family and where did he go after that? No one actually knows about it! Some says he committed suicide when he saw that he killed his family with his own hands while some says he went out in the forest and disappeared in the void.

So, it was the time for Christmas in Okaneville. Grace and her friends (Stacy, Chris, Carl, Max and Lily) were planning to spend Christmas together this year and doesn’t want to celebrate it with their family because it was their last Christmas together because they were planning to move to different cities after their graduation.

Stacy, Grace’s childhood friend suggested to go to this Azrak Hotel to celebrate their winter holidays for a week but it was too expensive for them but not for Chris, he’s a spoiled rich kid in the college.

Chris really wanted to go to this luxurious but spooky hotel with his friends and told them, “Hey, guys! The manager of that hotel is my father’s friend. I know if I ask him to arrange something for me and you guys then he’ll definitely do it. Y’all just pack your bags! We’re going to this Azrak hotel.”

So, now everything is arranged by Chris’s parents. Grace, Stacy, Lily and Max were ready with their luggage and waiting for Carl and Chris to pick them up.

Stacy asked her friends, “Where are these two? We’ve been waiting for them like for past 40 minutes and they’re still not here! “

Grace to Stacy, “When I last talked to Chris on phone he said he’s going to rent a Car and pick Carl on his way and then come to pick us. “

Max after hearing them talk about Chris and Carl, “Okay! I’m gonna call Chris to ask him where they are! ”

When Max was about to call him, Carl and Chris came in a very cool black posh car. Everyone was awestruck by the car design.

Grace to Chris, “From where did you rent this car? It’s so cool! Let me drive this. “

Chris to Grace, “No! I’ll drive and y’all are just going to listen to the playlist on the back seat. “

Then everyone got in the car and was really excited to start off their road trip to the Azrak Hotel!

While in the car, Lily told her friends about the spooky stories she heard about that hotel.

Then Max and Carl made fun about it because Lily is really scared about these creepy places.

Grace, “Guys! Enough of these spooky talk. Let’s have fun! Chris turn up the music now.”

It was evening when they reached the forest, there wasn’t any street lights, the road was in absolute darkness and no car was to be seen in front nor behind their car.

Lily was a little petrified by the situation that why there’s no any car around as it’s the Christmas time and the hotel is very known in Okaneville and there should be lot of visitors coming and going from this route why it’s completely empty?

Suddenly Grace saw something on a tree. It looked like a girl sitting on a tree with long black hair wearing a white gown but she didn’t mentioned anything with her friends because Lily was already scared and they’re still on one hour distance from the hotel and Grace thought that it might be her illusion as they’ve been traveling since morning and it’s 18:13 PM at the moment.

It was 19:39 PM they finally reached the Hotel Azrak. The Hotel was really Beautiful and Luxurious. It was like their exertion from the journey was all gone looking at that Splendid hotel. The hotel looked like a Palace from the classical era, which it was.

They entered the hotel and they all were awestruck by the materialistic things of the hotel like a big stunning chandelier below which a girl was playing “Rue Des Trois Frères” on a grand piano. İt was really spacious, huge and beautiful. Everything was shinning, glittering and splendid. They go to the receptionist to get their room numbers and all. The receptionist ask them to wait a little then a waitress came with welcome drinks for them. The welcome drink was really refreshing and delish.

They got their room keys, Lily and Max got R. No. – 265, Chris and Carl got R. No. – 266 and Stacy and Grace got R. No. – 267 (the evil room). Grace was least aware about what’s going to happen to her and her friends. They unfortunately know the half story about the hotel and doesn’t know anything about room number – 267.

They entered their rooms. The rooms were like Roman ancient style luxurious room. So beautiful like they’ve entered some kind of fairytale world.

After spending one night there. Grace was feeling a bit uneasy. At night she saw a dream about the same woman she saw on a tree while traveling through the forest and she woke up and got in the washroom to wash her face then she heard something from behind and saw someone was coming out of the bathtub it was a little girl in pink dress. Grace freaked out and screamed out loud. She woke up it was an Eerie Dream which seemed utterly Real.

It was a Christmas Eve. Everyone got an invitation from the hotel that they’re going to have Christmas Eve party tonight. They were really excited for it and getting ready for the night.

Grace was still not feeling well. Stacy asked Grace, “Hey! What happened? You seem a little off.”

Grace, “Nothing! Maybe it’s just because of the exertion from the road trip and I didn’t slept well last night too. Maybe if I’ll get some rest then I’ll feel good. “

Stacy to Grace, ” So you’re not coming with us? “

Grace, “No! I want to go but I can’t! I’ll take medicine and sleep a little. Y’all go and have fun! “

Stacy, “Oh! Poor Grace! Get well soon, hon!”

Grace, “Thanks, Stacy! “

Everyone wanted to see Grace before going to the party but Stacy said she’s sleeping now and we should not disturb her. Let her get some rest.

They all went to celebrate whereas Grace was in her room and she didn’t sleep at all. She was feeling awful from inside and petrified by seeing creepy things around the room like the blood dripping from the wall, a woman who’s completely dressed in black cloth whose face can’t be seen through that black cloth, was coming towards her. She can hear giggles of little girls and also a crying baby and she started screaming but no one can hear her as everyone were celebrating the Christmas Eve but after a little while everything hushed for a moment.

She stopped screaming and put off her hands from her ears and she got really scared she tried to run from that room but as soon as she tried to open the door that creepy woman who dressed in black came from behind her and tried to choke her. Grace was trying to pull that woman’s hand away but suddenly she saw the face of that woman behind the black cloth, her face was covered in red blood and it looked like it was smashed by something sharp like axe then that woman vomited something black into Grace’s mouth and Grace blacked out.

Stacy came in the room and saw Grace was lying on the floor. She got scared called all her friends to look at Grace’s condition. Stacy sprinkled some water on Grace’s face and Grace regain consciousness and saw everyone worried faces.

Stacy asked Grace, “What happened? How did you faint?”

Grace, ” I don’t actually remember anything. I had my medicine then I was in my bed trying to sleep. That’s all.” Grace didn’t know that she got possessed by an evil spirit.

Chris said, ” Okay! You take rest now and we will talk about it tomorrow.”

Lily, “I was telling you guys this place is creepy “

Stacy, ” Lily now please don’t start with your nonsensical horror stories”

Grace also said, “Oh, Lily! I love this place. I just got a little sick. I’ll be fine by tomorrow. “

Lily, ” Okay! If you say so. Take care, Grace! Good night!”

Suddenly Grace heard a creepy voice saying, “KILL THEM! KILL THEM! KİLL THEM!”

Everyone was looking at Grace that she was froze for a minute and didn’t replied to Lily. So, Stacy shook her and Grace said , “What?”

Stacy said, “You’re acting weird. You literally froze for a moment. “

Grace, ” I’m tired maybe because of that I’m like this. Okay! Y’all go to your rooms. I’m going to sleep. Good night! “

Lily, Chris, Max and Carl went to their rooms. While Stacy was with Grace as they were sharing the room. It was past midnight when Grace woke up and heard the same creepy voice, ” KILL THEM!”

Grace was not in her senses she saw a knife and started stabbing Stacy with it. Stacy screamed, shouted but no one heard and she died.

Grace drank Stacy’s blood and heard a knock on the door. It was Chris who forgot his phone in her room when they came to see Grace after the party.

Grace’s mouth, jaw, cheeks, neck and cloth was all covered in Stacy’s blood and she had a knife in her hand, she opened the door. It was slightly dark but Chris can see she was covered in blood.

Chris freaked out and said, “what happened to you?”

Grace said, “I killed Stacy and drank her blood. It was delicious. Do you wanna try? “

Chris, “What? What are you saying? İs this some kind of prank? Stacy you in there? Grace has gone completely mad! “

Grace smilingly said, “I told you she is dead now, I killed her. It’s now your turn. “

Grace pulled him in with her one hand and stabbed in the same way as she stabbed Stacy.

Grace cleaned all the mess by herself and put their body in the bathtub.

Next morning, Carl was searching for Chris everywhere as he was not in the room. He asked Max and Lily they also don’t know about Chris’s whereabouts.

Then they knocked on Grace’s room and she opens the door. They comes in and asked have you seen Chris? Then Grace said, ” Oh! Chris and Stacy went out in the forest for a walk this morning. They asked me to come with them but I denied because I wasn’t feeling much better then but now I’m feeling good. “

Everyone was confused that they went for a walk without informing them. So Carl said, “let us also go to the forest then”

Then Grace said, ” Oh! I remembered. Chris told me that when everyone wakes up tell them to meet us (Stacy and Chris) on the lake side in the midst of the forest“

Max, “But that’s too far! ”

Grace, “Yes but y’all know that how much Chris loves to walk in the morning. Poor, Stacy! She will be so tired by now walking with him. Let us go with the car! What say? “

Everyone agrees! They all get in the car. Little did they know what lay ahead of them. Grace after driving for a while, suddenly stops the car in the middle of nowhere. Her friends asked her what happened? Why did she stopped the car?

Grace, “I don’t know guys it suddenly stopped.”

Carl sarcastically said, “Grace what did you do to the car? Chris is going to be heart broken when he’ll see his darling (the car Chris rented) in this condition haha”

Everyone laughed and Grace got out of the car. Carl said, “Is she okay? I was just kidding”

Lily said, “I don’t know she has been acting all weird lately.”

Everyone gets out of the car. Max looked at the car finding the reason why it’s not working. While Lily was admiring the beauty of nature and Carl was being suspectful that something is going wrong with Grace.

Grace suddenly came to her senses and realized that she had killed her two friends and started to cry.

Carl who was looking at her with suspecting eyes saw her crying. He walked towards her and asked, “Is everything okay? “

Grace hesitatingly said, “I killed Stacy and Chris. “

Carl said, “What?”

Grace sobbing, “Yes! It’s true. I killed them with my own hands. “

Carl sarcastically, “Yeah, sure! And then you were planning to kill us, right? Haha you can’t kill a bloody mosquito and you’re saying you killed two humans…Good one! “

Grace in a very serious tone, “Carl! It’s not a joke. I’m serious and yes when I was in the hotel this morning I was literally planning to kill you guys. I lied to y’all about Chris and Stacy”

Carl, “I was suspecting you about that but this is insane. You’re talking all rubbish and sounding all creepy like Lily. Stop it already now. It’s not funny. “

Lily and Max came to them and asked what they’re talking about. Lily saw Grace was sobbing and asked, “What’s wrong? “ Carl told them everything that what Grace said to him.

They started laughing! Max sarcastically said, “Grace, please don’t kill me haha”

Grace, “Why don’t you guys believe me. That’s a creepy hotel I saw and heard weird things there. I think we should get out of here ASAP! “

Max, “Okay! Now you’re sounding like an absolute Maniac. If you really killed them and wanted to kill us too then why are you telling us all this thing now? You need a doctor immediately. I have fixed the car now let’s go! “

Lily listening to all of them realized that Grace might be telling the truth and she might have got possessed by some evil spirit in that hotel room.

Lily, “Guys! I think she’s telling the truth! “

Carl, “Lily! Please now you don’t start.”

Max agreeing with Carl and said, “We will talk about it later. Let’s get out of here. “

Everyone headed towards the car. Grace heard the creepy voice again, “You’re Weak! You can’t kill them but I CAN! “

Grace turned around and Shouted loudly to her friends, “RUN! She’s going to kill us all.”

They all got scared by her action and bewilderedly looked at each other. As soon as they could process the situation, they all got perished in the forest soil out of nowhere in front of Grace.

Grace saw that all her friends got buried in the soil in front of her eyes and knew that the evil spirit is going to come after her next.

She suddenly runs towards the car and starts the car while reversing it she heard a cracking sound of a finger breaking of someone amongst her friends who got burried under the soil.

She drove the car and disappeared in the void just like that manager who killed his family in Room Number : 267 and disappeared forever.
