A Nightmare Come True, chapter 2
"Wow I've never seen an airport like this." Julie said surveying the airport with wide eyes.
"I know it's huge... And beautiful." Callie said. Unlike Billie, Adie, Tre, Mike, and now Riley, Callie, Clarence and Julie had never been to Paris, therefore they had never been in Paris International Airport.
"Come on you guys. Michel is supposed to be picking us up." Riley said looking around the airport. However, Michel was nowhere to be found.
"Hey Ry you're last name is Warner isn't it?" Tre asked, causing Riley to groan.
"Tre you've known me far to long to be asking that question." she replied.
"Well noooo you silly willer, I know you're last name. But I was just wondering 'cuz that there spooky guy looking at us is holding up a sign." Riley turned around and saw the strange man looking dead at them, and sure enough he was holding up a sign that read: "Warner and Party." Without knowing it she let out a little gasp. Tre wasn't kidding when he said creepy looking. This guy was beyond creepy. He was ridiculously tall for one, and he was so incredibly pale. Sure, it was winter and pretty much freezing outside, but he looked as if he hadn't seen the light of day in ages.
"Ohmilord Riles. Please, please tell me that isn't the beautiful Michel." Callie said. Riley shook her head and walked toward the man in horror, the rest of the group followed behind.
"Are you Mademoiselle Riley Warner?" he said. It seemed as if he already knew the answer, though, because he picked up her luggage. Riley cleared her throat and tried to smile and be her usual cheery self but there was something about that man that left an unsettling feeling in the pit of her stomach.
"We... Uh... We have to go and get the rest of our luggage." she managed to spit out. She walked toward the conveyor belt and got off all of her luggage, and everyone else did the same. After they got all of their luggage they followed Mr. Creepy to the limo that Michel had arranged for them to be picked up in. It was a long drive to the castle so everyone managed to catch up on some sleep they lost making the transitions between the time zones.
"Excuser moi?" Someone tapped Riley's shoulder. She opened her eyes to se Mr. Creepy standing over her, and had to fight the urge to scream. "We are here." he said. Pretty much everyone else was awake except for Tre, so Riley shook him lightly.
"Tre? Tre honey we're here." Tre mumbled something in his sleep but didn't wake. "TRE!"
"Huh? What?"
"We're here."
"Oh joy." Tre replied. He took his time getting out of the limo, and by the time he was completely out everyone was already staring up at the castle before them.
"Fuck me blind!" Tre shouted. "That is one big ass castle." They walked up to the front "door" and the huge drawbridge was let down. Standing in the doorway was Michel.
"Look who eet ees. Riley!" He opened his arms and gave her a hug and an air kiss on the cheek. "Welcome to ze castle of my grand-pere."
"It's gorgeous Michel. I had no idea it would be this beautiful. Oh how rude of me! These are my friends. That's Tre and Callie and Billie Joe and Adrienne and Mike and Clarence and Julie." she said pointing to her friends. "Guys this is Michel."
"You all must be exhausted." he said in his thick french accent. " Go and get freshened up. Make sure you put on ze formalwear. As zere will be ze welcome dinner."
"Aw Michel you shouldn't have!" Riley said throwing her arms around him. "Glad I had everyone bring their best clothes!"
"Monsieur Dubois will lead you to your rooms." Michel said. Mr. Dubois (aka Mr. Creepy) motioned for them to follow him up the long flight of stairs. Billie and Adrienne would be sharing a room, as would Clarence and Julie, since they were the two couples of the group. And even though the castle was certainly big enough that everyone could have their own room, Michel had split them up into pairs. Tre was rooming with Mike, and Riley with Callie. Riley and Callie were the last ones to be led to their room, and upon showing them the way Mr. Creepy practically vanished.
"Well here goes." Riley said. She grabbed the handle to the huge, wooden door and pushed it open...
"I know it's huge... And beautiful." Callie said. Unlike Billie, Adie, Tre, Mike, and now Riley, Callie, Clarence and Julie had never been to Paris, therefore they had never been in Paris International Airport.
