Laura pushed her red-brown hair from her eyes as she leaned back into the rickety chair that she was sitting in. She was sat at a little table in the dingy back-rooms of Nex Somnus, a place reserved for guests. Looking around her, Laura knew why, because no one would stay here if they knew how bad it was. She didn't like the hotel. It gave her the creeps...weird noises echoed through her room each night and the owner kept giving her strange looks. Even the name was weird. Nex Somus - what was that, Latin? It didn't sound like anything nice, whatever it was... She was only staying there because she had arrived too early, before school had started and this was the only place to stay. Mostly though she had spent most of her time wandering the streets, doing anything to keep from coming back to this place.
With a sigh she ran her fingertips across the table-top, frowning with disgust as they came up sticky. From the corner of her eye she saw the owner staring at her again. Self-conciously, she pulled her bright coat tighter around her body.

Nigh skipped into her favourite hotel. It gave her the creeps ...weird noises echoed through the rooms each night. She used this place allot to hone her crafts. It was always fun cleaning her little corner of a empty room then setting up the candles and drawing all the weird circles. Then getting her latest voodoo doll and trying it out. It always felt good when it actually worked and she could move her reflection in the dusty mirrors.
She noticed a girl in the corner wich was a shock. Geusts! The owner was stinking rich and never realy made the place up for anyone but lowlives.

Laura barely glanced up when she heard someone else enter the room. This place rarely had many guests, but as it grew closer to that start of term the number increased slightly. That said, most of the people who she had seen staying here weren't the kind she would like to engage in idle conversation with.
She shivered where she sat, shooting the owner an icy glare as she tried to decided whether she should leave. Already this place seemed to be draining the colour from her cheeks.

It was weird in such a dull place someone with colour seemed to brighten it all and at the same time loose a little of there own. This could be good? Nigh fought evilly then shook her head. She skipped over to her carefully keeping her bag behind her back so nothing would break. She smiled the far right of her mouth had a line drawn down it. Probably she looked a bit freaky but her face was so bright.
"Hello Im Eve" She said sitting next to the brightly lit girl holding out her small childs hand.

Laura looked up, startled, as the girl approached. She smiled awkwardly, taking in her appearence. Strange... oh, not at all what she would expect from this place.... She bit her lip and folded both her hands on the table in front of her, grimacing as they slid over something slimy. 'Hello' she said lightly, almost forcing her signature bright-eyed smile.

Nigh tilted her head and smiled sweetly. Somehow she felt unwanted. She took away her hand and bit her lip. awkward. She scanned the girl and trie dto figure out why she was here. Obviosuly she didnt want to be. She noticed the gunk on her hands. She reached in her voodoo bag careful not to reveal its contents and pulle dout a handkercheif. She offered to her in a hope to break the ice. "It gets pretty disgusting here i come fully stocked" she smiled trying not to sound too clean freakish.

Laura nodded. 'Thankyou' she said softly, taking the offered handkerchief and beginning to wipe the gunk from her hands. 'I'm Laura-Annaleise, but just call me Laura' She smiled, but it wasn't forced this time, it was a true smile. Laura had always found the best in people, even those she had only met. Thats what her mother used to tell her.

Eve watched her use the handkercheif and she was right the mood wa slifted slightly. The warmth was a little different now. She was careful to kepp the bag behind her. "OK Laura" She made a mental note of the name. Eve knew she was weird anyone who pretended to endure was a good person in her books so she'd have to be careful not to write her name on any of the needles.

Laura's eyes flashed with amusement. 'What are you doing in a place like this?' Feigning surprise at the girls choice of location. She shifted in her chair, feeling only slightly uncomfortable. The stirring in the back of her mind had unearthed itself, and was dredging up the beginnings of a headache. She smiled sweetly at Eve, wishing for fresh air.

She tiled her head and reached into her bag pulling out a soft cuddly voodoo doll. It was her first and most people think she made the scarry unatural features apear too cute. "so whats a sweat girl like you doing in a place like this" She said rubbing her cheek onto the soft threads. She tried to read her expression and could tell she was uncomfortable. She whispered it to the doll to see what was wrong.

Laura looked warily at the doll Eve had pulled from her bag. Strange was the first word that came to mind when she saw it. She noticed that the girl hadn't answered her question, but ignored the fact. 'I'm here until school starts. It seems I arrived a little early.'

She smiled. "OK someone like you just shouldn't bein a place like this want to go out side" She kept her hands off the table and kept hold of her Voodoo doll careful not to expose it to the oddities of the Nex Sommus. Cleaning her little corner of a the room and making her little ritual would have to wait for later. This girl was a teansy bit more important than performing black magic for you're own entertainment.

'Well', Laura smiled, 'It isn't really my type of place, but its better than nowhere' Her eyes flashed over the dirty, small room, over the filthy owner who smiling at her through browned and broken teeth, and she nodded. 'Yes, outside would be lovely' She shuddered at the thought of having to stay any longer near that owner.

Nigh smiled and grabbed her hand to pull her away from the dreadful place rescuing her inocents so to speak. In the spur of the moment she grabbed her voodoo dols and the girl but left the single strap shoulder bag with all her Dark Unholly Goodies inside it.

Laura gasped, startled as the girl grabbed her hand suddenly. She part turnedas she half-stood and was half-dragged from her chair. Her eyes fell on a bag sitting on the floor, one that had not been there earlier. 'Eve?' She said to the girl. 'Your bag?'

Eve looked back in a rush. OH NO! She quickly reached over. "OH woops" She said nervously her hand claspin the strap and yanking it. The top still not zipped up properly spewed out some of the needles and knives over the seat. She half screamed half squealed and tried her best to cover it up. This would be awkward.

'Oh... goodness....' Laura stared wide-eyed in horror at the spilled contents of the girl's bag. After a moment of shock, she pulled her hand out of Eve's and jumped backwards, her breath coming in short bursts. Who was this child? What was she planning to do to her? Horrorfied thoughts spilled into her mind.

Nigh looked back and blushed. "Umm I can... I can explain... just give me a chance... realy i can" She started to grab the needles and knives putting them in her bad. A small ten year old grabbing at needles and knives was probably the least inocent thing you could ever see. Feeling horiblle for scaring the girl she scowled then cut her finger on one of the knives and pulled away. A tear running down her cheek.

'I.. um...' Laura was caught between pity and fear as she watched Eve try to gather the contents of her bag. Part of her even felt anger towards the girl. 'Explain then'

Nigh then bit her lip. How was she gonna explain this. "I ummm..." She sucked on her cut finger for a second. Then pointed to her voodoo doll now on the floor. She tried to keep packing away but her finger realy hurt and she was getting blood on the needles and handles.
