Eleanor stepped up to the jaded Hotel front, the red neon light illuminating her face in the night. When she entered the hotel it was anything but jaded, beautiful cylinder light fixtures dangled from the ceiling red and gold colors filled the room at the opposite end of the room there was a wooden staircase with gold trim, the air was filled with a smell of cocktails and fresh carpet "least it's pretty" she said under her breath. She walked up to the front desk, the chime of the bell echoed the lobby. As she waited a little old women came towards her. Eleanor gave the woman to smile "hello, I would like to book a room please. I'm not sure how long I'll be staying." Without hesitation the old woman spoke with a dry tone "we're booked." Iris saw the marks on the young girl she knew that this wasn't a place you'd be wanting to seek Refuge. As Iris was turning away young woman grab your hand her eyes grew soft "please" the young girl whispered. Iris look down at the final key reluctantly she pulled the key needed it to young girl "Room 64". Eleanor gave a sigh of relief grabbing the key clutching it to her chest in relief. she thanked the woman and began to head upstairs. She walk to the elevator as she entered so did another women with frayed hair and makeup smeared sloppily on her face "Who are you?" The women asked carelessly as she lit a cigarette "Eleanor, and you are?" "Sally" She said exhaling the smoke "What room they got you in." "Room 64" "Ha" Sally Laughed placing the cigarette back in her mouth "Good Luck" She said sarcastically as Eleanor stepped off the elevator. What a odd women she thought, She began walking down the hall when she saw two blonde girls standing at the end when she was about to walk past them they spoke "Fast and the furious"when she turned around to respond they where gone.

When she opened the door to the room a wave of relief washed over her as she stepped through the door way like she could breath for the first time in a long time. She dropped her bag immediately entering the room, sliding the cool leather jacket off her body and dropping it to her side as she feel on the couch. stareing off into the distant she began laughing soon her but as quick as it started the laughs become sobs, frantic bellowing sobs that grew louder and louder "sweetie are you alright?" Eleanor looked to the door way to see a women as she blinked away tears to get a better look of the women. "Oh yes" She said wiping her eyes "I'm so sorry I didn't mean to be so loud" The women sat next to her on the couch "Never apologize for feeling." she said grabbing both her hands in her own. Eleanor looked at the women with a small smile, she was a bald women with Egyptian makeup and blue and gold silk gown. The women smiled back "I'm Liz Taylor." "Eleanor, call me Ellie" She greeted back, Liz clapped her hands together "I think you could use a drink, and lucky for you i always can." She joked standing up walking to the door way, She turned Ellie watched stunned as she as the gown flowed like water when she walked she had never met a women like Liz before. "You coming?" Liz said snapping back to reality she stood up following Liz to the bar.

James was on his way to his monthly meal with the countess when he passed the bar seeing Liz with a young women with. She was beautiful, no THE most beautiful women he had ever seen which he never thought he would say about anyone after meeting the countess. Her skin was like porcelain, long brown hair that curled ever so gracefully, and lip so red they could only be described as blood stained which made a fire burn inside him with excitement and wonder. "perfect" He thought. "Should I start setting the table?" Asked Miss Evers James faithful servant. James turned to her with a smile "No Miss Evers, Please send my deepest apologies to the countess but it seems I have other plans for tonight. Miss Evers look to the two sitting at the bar hesitantly Knowing the countess would not be happy is she found out about this, not because she loved him but because no one takes what is hers "Now Miss Evers" He said adamantly, with a nod she went on her way.
James looked back at the girl with excitement in his eyes and a twisted smile, he made his way behind the bar wall to observe and listen from the shadows, Liz poured a drink and slid it over to the girl "So, tell who what brought you to the cortez the light glisten off her tear soaked cheeks as she spoke "The classic" She said as she took a sip of the whisky "High school sweethearts got married to young, our first big marital he hit me he swore it wouldn't happen again but it did again and again, I told my Its my fault I need to do better. Then the other day..." She hesitated a tear rolling down her cheek as she flashed back to that night. "I told him I wanted a divorce" Her voice broke as she spoke. "He...he was angrier then I had ever seen him before he said "I wasn't taking what belonged to him." Then he threw me in the ground and..." The words wouldn't come out so she continued "when he was done and let go of me I grabbed the closest thing to me and hit him." James noticed a gleam in her eye when she spoke of hitting him. "Then?" Liz said waiting for her to finish. "I Left" She said blinking back to reality "Ran and far as I could tell I ended up here." "Oh sweetie" Liz placed a hand on her shoulder "You should have finished him off or tell the police." she downed the last bit of the brown liquid, she gave a small laugh as she sat the glass on the mahogany counter top "Oh that's the best part" She looked up to Liz "The bastard is the police, or I would have." Jame could see in her eyes it was no joke, Hearing the words that came from her lips made rage boil up from inside himself "How dare this man touch a single hair on her hear head" He thought rage was consuming every part of his body he couldn't meet her like he needed to release this anger thought just then a lovely couple came walking past him to their room lucky form him his release walked right part him.
