I promeise if this story sucks I'll stop...anyway....
*************************
Kaycie appeared to be like any other 18 year old girl at the time but she wasn't,oh how she wasn't. She had no memory, none at all she was just there in Britain in the yeart of 1964. She had common sense of course, she knew everything that any other 18 year old should know. She was lucky because she had the most amazing strength of mind and was able to be there without showing panic. SHe did know some things in the hour that had just started her life.THey were:
1.She was American
2.Her name was Kaycie.
3.She had enough money to last her a few months
4.The date (which was so kindly supplied by the newspaper)-December 17, 1964
5. SHe knew where she was
6. THat she did have a past.
She knew this 6th thing because she had found around her neck, a locket in the shape of a cross with beautiful black stone on it. And on the inside, it said To my youngest granddaughter with love. Those four words gave her immense hope.
Getting over the shock of just suddenly appearing she focused her mind on finding a hotel where she could think this over. SHe hadn't walked more then a block when she heard screaming. Following the sound, she came to a hotel with tons of screaming girls standing outside. She scanned the mob thinking how ridiculus they looked and also looking for a door to get in the hotel which seemed a very fancy place. She finally spotted a door behind all of the girls.
Bracing herself,she took a deep breath then plunged into the crowd, keeping a hand on her hat,so she wouldn't lose it. She had to push her way through the all of the girls. SHe closed her eyes without thinking and walked faster. She had been going for a while and had started to wonder if she had started going in the wrong direction. She was about to open her eyes whenever she walked straight into something very hard and started rubbing her face.

She opened her eyes to see that it was the door. Silently cursing the door and all of the girls she turned the door to the hotel. It didn't budge. "Dammit" she said under her breath because the door was locked. She was staring at the door when she caught sight of a sign posted by the door. IT read: Anyone wishing to stay at the Hotel Royale please go to the other door, thank you. On the sign there was an arrow which pointed to her right. She gave the door one last dirty look then followed the arrow. Turning the corner she saw a pair of grand doors witha sign that said WElcome to the Hotel Royale. She smiled breifly then hastened into the hotel. THe hall was amazing, with beautifull paintings and carving on the wall and two grand spiral staircases on either side. She couldn't help but look at awe at the architechtual(sp?) beauty. Remembering what she was doing, she looked around for a registration counter she spied one made of mahogany at the far end of the hall. At the counter was a gentleman who was grinning at her. She walked over to the counter and asked him "Do you have a room available?"
He answered her politely saying "Yes madammoiselle, many. Which would you like?"For some reason that Kaycie couldn't explain she trusted this gentleman greatly.
"Ummm a single bedroom," she said, then added,"With a bathroom."
He smiled at this and said "Of course, go to the right staircase and you have room number 19.
"THanks," she said, her mind returning to her problem.
She absentmindedly walked to the right staircase and hurried up the steps, when a thought struck her......

Sighing, she trotted back down the stairs to the counter and stared at the waiter. Acting as though she wanted to start a conversation she asked,"What's your name?"
"Manwell," he replied looking suspicious.
"Business hasn't been going well has it,Manwell?"
"Of course it has," he replied,never losing the courtesy in his voice.
"Oh really, that's why there are only 2 rooms checked out."
At this he smiled innocently and said "I don't know what you're talking about. Kaycie sighed and pointed behind Manwell, at the shelving that held the keys, only two weren't there.
Without waiting for him to reply she asked " If this is the Hotel Royale, why is only my room and the Presidential Swuite checked out?"
He replied courtly, I was waiting for someone bright enough to see the sign outside."
Kaycie giggled at this and said "Why is it so empty though?"
Manwell said "Because there are some, oh what is the word......famous people here." STill smiling, he said If you will excuse me Miss Kaycie, I shall be checking on the dinner now.
'How odd', Kaycie thought, 'I never told him my name......'

Kaycie spent the next two hours deep in thought in her room. She could think of nothing, no explananation. She was getting fustrated. She looked up out of the window and since it looked quite lovely outside she decided she would go for a walk.Looking down at her clothing she said to herself ," And on my walk I shall have to pick up some more clothing."
Now smiling with determination, she grabbed her hat, placed it atop her head and got a running start out of her room. When she came outside to the stairs, a grin slowly spread across her face as she looked at the banister.....

Kaycie climbed on and slid all the way down the grand spiral staircase gaining immense speed and at one point losing her hat. When she reached the bottom, she was incredibly dizzy but was laughing hysterically. "Man that was fun," she said to herself. SHe then caught her hat,which was floating down gently from where it had fallen off, and replaced it atop her head. "Bye Manwell," she called as she ran out of the door still laughing.
***************************
Little did she know that 5 people had watched her descent from the comfort of the lobby. One of the 5 was Manwell who watched with laughing eyes. THE other 4 were the famous people MAnwell had mentioned.
" Who was that,Manwell?" asked one of them with a LIverpool accent while pulling out a book called "In his Own Write".
"Just the other resident," replied Manwell smiling," Now I need to go check on dinner."
The one who's asked the question shrugged and continued reading his book while another one with brown eyes looked over his shoulder at the book.
"Don't get any ideas,John," said the one with brown eyes.
"Who?me, Paulie?" asked the one called John.
AT this Paul rolled his eyes and sighed.

THE joy she had had from her trip down the banister had vanished when she turned the corner of the hotel and saw that the crowd of girls, orshould I say mob of girls had increased. SHe sighed at them and continued walking in search of a store but this she chose to walk around htem instead of through them. She found a pleasant, somewhat small clothing shop after walking a few blocks. The prices were rather low so she went in a bought her clothing there. At the counter she met a girl with blonde hair whose name was Jessica.  She became friends with her at once and spent a while talking to her. "Do you recomend any books or music?" Kaycie asked remembering a music and book store in the way down. Almost at once Jessica responded,"The Beatles!!! You have to hear them." SHe also recomemded a great variety of books to buy. Finally Kaycie left the store but seeing how it was dark already decided to get some food and go back to the hotel. |
