She was walking hurriedly on the side walk. The men around, were giving her strange stares, but she tried to ignore them. Two men, who where twins, dressed both in similar, grey suits, in their late twenties, passed next to her. They glared at her and she tried to take her eyes away from them, as she was now too scared. Out of the blue, a guy clothed in black like a security guard, armed with guns all over his huge figure, grabbed her arm violently. "Hey! Let me go!" She shouted terrified, as she pulled her arm away from him.

"What are you doing out here?!" He asked her in his deep, threatening voice. His eyes sharp, his jaw tight. "You're supposed to follow the other women. You'll come with me." He stated and he forced her to walk with him.

It was difficult to keep up with his big steps. Elinor tried to explain to him, that she had no time, as she was invited to Costello, but he never gave her that chance. He entered a huge white building and he used the elevator to take her to another floor.

The sides of the following corridor where clear, doors from glass, who led to rooms filled with women, old and young, women of all ages. The built man who led her here, threw a door open to a less filled room and he threw her inside.

"No! You don't understand I'm supposed to go to-"

The door closed shut and the man left her in a room filled of people in the same sex as her. "- Costellos mansion." Elinor finished her sentence, as she threw her weight on the wall behind her and slowly slipped down. She hid her face in her arms, and she let her sadness be shown in her tears, desperate for an answer, a solution.

"Are you crying?" A childish voice interrupted her from her thoughts. She raised her head to meet the little girls face. She had her black, silky hair in a ponytail, with a bow on the top and she wore a cute, hot pink dress. "Mom says we shouldn't cry, everything will always be ok."

Elinor smiled at the girl and hid her face in her arms again. She felt the warmth of the little girls hand on her shoulder. "When we came here, I was crying too. This huge man was quite scary... but now I'm okay. I'm trying to tell you... you shouldn't be crying."

Elinor raised again her head and wiped some tears that had slipped her eyes. "I'm scared." She whispered, her eyes red from her salty tears.

"You don't have to. You're safe." The girl encouraged her.

"How do you know that?"

"Oh no... Don't tell me you had a fight with your angel." Said the little girl surprised, while bringing her tiny hands to cover her cute mouth.

"With who?" Was the only thing Elinor could ask, as she was starting to lose interest in this conversation.

"Your guardian angel. We all have one. They'll protect you no matter what. So you don't need to be scared." The little girls eyes sparkled as she was talking with such enthusiasm. "Unless you got in a fight. They get pretty childish sometimes..." She added in a more sceptical tone now.

Elinor smiled to the little girl and she wiped her eyes. "Where is your mommy?"

"She is in another room. They didn't put us in the same one. But as I said, she'll be safe." The little girl blinked twice in order to keep her tears from falling.

"Don't worry, sweetie. Just wait until I find a way out of here." Said Elinor as she got up and searched the room for someone that would be able to give her useful information.
