Chapter Ten

The Globetrotter was a sleek and modern hotel with a red and black color scheme. Go figure.

An aging fairy with bluish-silver hair greeted us from behind a long, shiny black counter. She wore a red blouse with black polka dots and glasses that hung on a chain around her neck.

“Is this a Terrene hotel or a paranormal one?” I whispered.

“It’s both, dear,” the elderly fairy replied. Nothing wrong with her hearing then. “The hotel is spelled to make our kind appear human to outsiders. People aren’t all that perceptive, so it isn’t hard to deceive them.”

“Technically, we’re the outsiders here,” I said. “We’re in Vegas.”

The elderly fairy turned up her perky nose. “I think you’ll find this is Meth’s town.”

“We’d like to see Meth, if he’s available,” Peter said.

Her lips puckered. “For what purpose?”

“We need to ask him a few questions about a personal issue,” Peter said. “We’ve been told he might be able to help.”

The elderly fairy held up her glasses and peered at us. “You’re not here to steal, are you? Can’t let you in if you plan to take anything that doesn’t belong to you.”

“Are you sure?” Peter asked. “Because I’d be more than happy to steal your heart away.”

The fairy’s gravelly voice lightened to a girlish squeak. “Your name? Let me guess. It’s Prince Charming, isn’t it?”

Peter bowed with a flourish. “My reputation precedes me, I see.”

It took all my strength not to roll my eyes. I may have even invoked a little magic.

“You are a cute one, aren’t you?” the fairy said. She tilted her head to scowl at me. “And you are?”

“Princess Danielle,” Peter answered for me. “She’s as royal as they come.” He winked at me.

“I’ll see if my master is available.” She turned away from the counter and hit a button.

“Her master?” I mouthed to Peter.

“He’s an old school vampire,” Peter whispered. “Try to use those Degraff manners of yours. He’ll like that.”

The fairy slowly turned back to us, her glasses dangling. “Go on up. Top floor. Can’t miss it.” She glanced at Peter. “Try not to steal anything else.”

“It’s like she knows you,” I said on our way to the elevator.

“Considering where she works and who she works for, it’s no surprise that she’s insightful,” Peter said.

“Have you ever met Meth before?” I asked.

“No, I just know him by reputation,” Peter replied. He hit the button for the top floor and the doors closed. We were the only ones in the elevator.

“How scary is he on a scale of one to positively frightening?”

Peter appeared thoughtful. “The dude’s old as dirt and super powerful. Those facts alone are scary enough.”

“Why does he live in Terrene? And how is he allowed to stay here?” It seemed to violate several rules and regulations.

“Like I said—old and powerful,” Peter replied. “You’d be surprised how many rules you can break with those two qualities.”

The doors opened and the elevator spit us straight into the penthouse. The first thing I noticed was the view. The entire top floor seemed to be made of glass so that we could see the lights of the city all around us.
