APPARITION

December 9th 1982

Mary Peterson lay awake in bed staring at the celling. It was her eleventh birthday today and she had the most wonderful party in her dad's hotel. The Oceana Hotel had been in her family since her Grandfather won it in a bet nearly a hundred years ago. Now she lived her with her younger sister Sally and her mum and dad.

Mary however was not excited about living in the grand old hotel, located not a stone's throw from the beach overlooking the Pacific ocean, for there was something about the hotel that had always scared her. As a young child she had been told there were no monsters under her bed, and the bumps in the night were simply other guests moving around the hotel. Now eleven Mary knew better there was something desperately wrong with the Oceana, something lived here that was not meant to be here at all.

Looking over at the clock on her bed side table Mary saw that it was almost one am and she had gone to bed at ten. She knew she had not been lying here awake for the past three hours and so something must have rose her from slumber. Sitting up slightly and looking over at the night light that cast long dim shadows across her room Mary now considered the child's night comfort to be more disturbing than helpful as her gaze moved to the sleeping form of her six year old sister Sally. It was obvious that whatever had awoken Mary had not had the same effect on Sally as the young girl slept on soundly.

It was then Mary realised that her sisters soft breathing was not the only noise in the room. A quite tap tap tapping could be heard coming from beyond her bed. The darkness that fell there prevented Mary from seeing what it was clearly until one of the shadows she had been so nervous of in the past moved. It seemed to fly across the room and settle beside her sisters bed. Mary was frozen in place, her face turned towards the figure but her body anchored to her mattress. Her eyes fixed on the darkened shadow that seemed to undulate in the glow of the night light, a scream rose in her throat but stuck there as the figure turned its head towards her in interest.

Mary could see nothing but the green eyes on a black background, locking its oval shaped pupils on her frozen body it smiled slowly revealing razor sharp fangs in a mouth which appeared to be more like a deep cavern. Mary was transfixed by this being as one slim appendage rose on the end of which were not hands as such but elongated fingers that ended in sharp pointed claws. The claw tapped on the side of Sally's bed a few times illuminated now by the reach of the night light as the claw glinted while it tap tap tapped its harrowing rhythm.

Mary slammed her eyes shut and breathed hard through her nostrils, causing a slight whistling sound to come out. Opening her eyes again the figure was gone, and all that was left was the still sleeping form of her sister.

Her paralyse gone Mary threw back the covers and climbed out of bed, padding her way to her Sally's bed where she saw that the covers were pulled way up, almost to the top of her head. Reaching forward Mary pulled down the comforter and her hand slapped to her mouth. Mary looked down at her sisters face, or at least what was left of it. A bloody pulp was all that remained of where her eyes nose and mouth used to be. The teeth were still there white and shiny in the cavity beyond as the hand still over Mary's mouth did nothing to stop the sound of her scream this time.

The scream was loud enough to wake even those cold in the ground, as it reached the ears of every sleeping person in the Oceana hotel that night. It was also the last nose Mary Peterson ever made.

October 30th 2011

When the WWE tour bus pulled up at the Oceana Hotel everyone was impressed with the location for their Halloween party. The hotel had been reported haunted in the early eighties after a six year old girl was found slain in her bed. They had all been told the legend about how her ghost walked the hall ways looking for her killer.

"I got told it was the sister that did it, found her over the sisters bed covered in her blood." Ted said as Justin elbowed him in the side to get him to shut up as Mickie looked on at them in discus.

"Wasn't her sister only like ten or something." Mickie said as Maryse nodded next to her as Justine looked down at his girlfriend and took hold of the brunettes hand.

"Yeah and just ignore him he is just trying to scare you." Justin said to Mickie as she gave Ted and evil glare and he poked his tongue out back at her.

"You believe me don't you Kelly." Ted stated looking back behind him at the blonde sat looking out of the window at the hotel. Its white washed walls now fading with the light and she turned at the sound of Ted's voice.

"I don't know, but this place gives me the creeps." She said as Eve who was sat next to her supressed a small smile.

"Everything scares you honey." Phil said from behind them as the straight edged superstar lent forward in his seat to join in the conversation as the bus rolled up the long driveway to the main entrance.

"No not everything just this place right now." Kelly said a look of distain crossing her face as Maryse scoffed at the girls protest but said nothing further. Choosing instead to look over to her left at the sun going down beyond the horizon across the inky black ocean.

"Ok last stop people The Oceana hotel, where no one can here you scream. Mwahaw" John Cena said from the front of the bus as half of its occupants rolled their eyes and the other half supressed smiles as they all rose to collect their luggage.

"Am I right in thinking Vince hired this entire hotel out for us for this party?" Mickie asked no one in particular as she got her handbag down from the locker as Justin placed his hand on her waist to move her out of the way to let Christian and Phil though.

"Yeah we are all alone on here, so make sure you keep your door locked at night a Mickie." Natalya said as she also brushed passed followed by Beth.

"Yeah wouldn't want Justin escaping now would you." The powerful blonde smiled as she to manoeuvred around the pair stood in the isle. Mickie rolled her eyes at the obvious attempt of humour that fell somewhat short as Randy and Cody brought up the rear, and were the only people left on the bus, apart from Mickie and Justin. That was until Mickie notice Kelly still sat in her seat.

"Someone better grab her before someone places a return to sender sticker on her." Randy said as he pushed passed them, with his usual unconcerned manner and headed off the bus to join the others.

"You know one day I am going to pop him one and not care what happens after that." Justin said as Mickie bent over the seat to speak to Kelly.

"Hey girl come on you don't want to be left alone on here all night do you." Mickie said not wanting to scare the girl even more but right now it seemed like her only option. Kelly shook her head quickly and stood up. Snatching up her bag she walked briskly into the isle and off the bus. Her sudden change in demeanour had Mickie and Justin puzzled for a second until they realised that they were now in danger of being left on the bus.

Standing with everyone else outside the large double doors of the Oceana hotel Mickie scanned the faces. Some old some new, some she liked, some she didn't and others she couldn't work out. She did know however that when the WWE superstars and Diva's got together for a party it was always something she would never forget.

The doors before them opened with a loud creek, the hinges obviously requiring a good dose of oil, but it had the desired effect as Vince stepped out flanked by Stephanie and Hunter. The trio looked pretty pleased with themselves as they stood at the top of the stairs looking down at the gathered group of their friends and colleagues.

"Welcome, welcome. I hope you had a good journey up here. You have all been allocated rooms and you will find your names on your room keys. I have to warn you your roommate may not be who you expected as we had a quick game of luck dip earlier." Vince smiled down at the now grumbling crowed who were however displeased, used to his little games.

"Tonight you may explore the hotel, dinner will be served at eight in the main hall, and ghost stories will be told during the time following. Have a good evening." He concluded in his best Dracula impression which again caused many people to roll their eyes as they started filtering forward.

Beth moved forward with the crowed, she was praying that she hadn't pulled a room with one of the Bella twins, or worse Kelly Kelly. Dragging her suitcase behind her she picked it up to ascend the stairs and gave a quick glance to Natalya who was looking around at the decor.

"Hey you think we could pull as fast one and switch of we are not rooming together?" Beth said in hushed tones as people moved to the table at the front of the lobby to collect their keys.

"I'm pretty sure some people will be up for it, but I wouldn't be surprised if Vince didn't come round and do a spot check to make sure everyone is where they are supposed to be. You know what he is like." Natalya said as they drew closer to the table and saw there were only a few keys remaining.

Beth scanned the array of keys for her name and finally found hers attached to room 114. It was not however the same room as Natalya's.

"Dam it but to be honest I am not surprised, now I wonder who I have the honour of sharing with?" Beth said scanning the room where people were mingling around trying to find their roommate. Some had already left to get unpacked while others were contemplating sleeping on the bus. One of those was John Cena who had managed to pull Brie Bella has his room buddy and the woman was already talking his ear off about bathroom arrangements.

John moved off towards Cody who was talking with Christian who was his roommate for their stay. He looked up when John called his name and started shaking his head immediately.

"No way man." Christian said folding his arms and keeping his room key well out of reach.

"I will do your laundry for a month." John said pleading with the superstar as Christian backed away slightly.

"You could do my laundry for a whole dam year and it wouldn't persuade me to change my mind. That woman is like chocolate. Sweet to eat at first but after a while will make you sick." John gave up on Christian and turned to Cody but the dashing one was already headed for the elevator and John could do nothing but tap his foot on the ground in frustration.

"Fine, but I will remember this the next time." he called out after Christian who was following behind Cody now as the doors closed on them and John was left with Brie who was smiling sweetly at him.

"Oh Johnny it won't be so bad, at least I don't snore." She said and John picked up his suitcase and also headed for the elevator.

"Yeah well too bad for you, because I do." He said as the doors closed on them as he spotted only Beth and Natalya left in the lobby area.

"I guess my roommate already went up." Beth said as Natalya had found out she was sharing with Ted and was pretty happy. He was a cool guy, slightly annoying, but in a good way, plus he would probably be spending most of his time with Maryse.

"Yeah well can't put it off any longer I guess, better get on up there, then we can check this place out. I can't wait to see if something creepy happens." The Canadian said as the pair moved into the returning elevator and climbed on board.

"You don't really believe in all that stuff do you?" Beth asked with a frown and a slight smile, not really believing that Natalya of all people would believe in Ghosts. The elevator started moving with a slight jerk and headed upwards to the third floor where Natalya's room was.

"Umm maybe, I mean I have never looked in to a mirror and said bloody Mary three times or anything. Wouldn't want to tempt fate." She replied as the elevator came to a stop and Beth looked from her friend to the mirrors surrounding them.

"No way Beth don't you dare." Natalya said realising what Beth had in mind as the blonde smiled back at her. Pretending to open her mouth she found Nat's hand clamped to it before she could utter a word.

"Promise me in the time it takes to go up one floor you will not, and I repeat not do that." Nat said as Beth nodded her head unable to reply verbally due to Nat's hand still covering her mouth.

"Good." Natalya said removing her hand and stepping out onto her floor. Turning around Nat waved a warning finger at Beth who smiled innocently back at her as the doors closed.

"See you later text me with your mystery roomie." Nat called after her disappearing friend and turned to walk down the hallway.

"No way she wouldn't" Natalya said to herself as she took out her key and inserted it in the lock as a crash could be heard beyond.

Beth allowed the door to close completely before she turned to face the mirror. She felt her hands shaking slightly and she clutched them tightly together.

"This is silly." She said to herself as she looked back at her own reflection and was determined to prove that there was no such thing as ghosts.

"Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary…
