“There can be no community between you and me; We are enemies.”
Shrill shouts stopped Benedict Matherson mid-sentence while he handed
out the morning assignments in the lobby of Matherson Manor. He
frowned. Guests should be enjoying a peaceful morning breakfast on
the terrace, taking in the morning sun – not running down the grand
staircase, shrieking and crying out for help.
Benedict dismissed his staff and started for the breakfast room to find
the source of the terror. Today’s morning check-in was only ramping up, so
now was not the time for a crowd of complaining and frightened guests to
flood the lobby.
“What happened to the breakfast group?” he asked Suzy, the day
manager, who was trying to calm down an elderly guest sat in an armchair.
She rose from her crouched position, smoothing her hands over her navy
pencil skirt.
“Davis, the new waiter, said someone jinxed the teacups,” Suzy
whispered, so the guest wouldn’t hear. “When the guests took a sip, they
transformed into butterflies.”
Benedict ran his hands through his hair. The residue of product
reminded him it needed a cut. The top was getting a little heavy, and he
prided himself on always being put together and in control.
“No one was harmed?” he asked, knowing exactly who would have
pulled such a harmless yet startling prank.
“No.” Suzy shook her head. “But I can’t go too close to the terrace with
the sun beating in.” A vampiric day manager might not be very practical,
but she was the best he had on staff.
“It’s fine – they could use you in the lobby. Dealing with this mess and
check-in will swamp them,” Benedict said, looking towards the breakfast
room to see the waiters sweeping up some broken dishware. Hopefully no
one had been injured in the rush to flee.
“Check the gardens. A few guests reported seeing piranhas in the
fountain. No one has been bitten. They’re just frightened, and probably
embarrassed,” Suzy explained.
Benedict let out a long exhale as she escorted the older guest to the
lobby and began to soothe the frightened crowd. Of course Lucinda had
jinxed the fountain; water was her familial element.
Before he’d even reached the terrace, a middle-aged woman had
blocked his path, wagging a finger in his face.
