Artemis watched the two with dull eyes. They deserved eachother; that was prominantly obvious in his mind. No matter how much it hurt, he wouldn't stand in their way. He took a breath, forcing himself to stand, looking out across the lawn cooly.

Eliza's entire shook, even if she did feel Huntin's warm arms around her. In truth she was scared, more scared then the first time Buck had beatin her, even more scared then when her and Huntin were attacked by the tentacle guy. Her lips quivered and tears flowed down her face, already her wounds were healing rapidly. She was like some sort dream child of a child beater, she'd never have bruises or cuts from her beatings.
Eliza tightened her grip on Huntin's shirt and she buried her tear stained face into his neck as if this would somehow protect her from Buck.
"Come now Eliza, it wasn't as bad as that other time, there's no reason to be so upset," Darlene sniffed looking down at her step-child.

Huntin growled a little and looked to Darlene. "You.....fuck you.......no reason to be upset? How about having your own father trying to kill you?" He held Eliza closer. "Jesus, you'd think that a woman like you would at least have enough guts to come out and say her husband was a daughter-abusing creep." His words were cold daggers.
Huntin was pissed. Pissed. PISSED. He held Eliza closer, stroking her hair. "Hun....we're not ever coming back...I'm not gonna let him hurt you again...." He looked to Artemis, as if that would sort of seal what he had said.

"She has every reason to be upset." Artemis said in a calm voice, his tone icey cold. "Her father just tried to kill her boyfriend, shot her, and then tried to strangle her to death." He turned to look at Darlene, his eyes cold.

"Please, let's just get outtah here," Eliza sobbed still shaking even if most of her wounds had healed. She was frightened, scared, and felt so alone even if Huntin and Artemis was right there, "We can stay at ah hotel for tahnight, anyplace Ih just don't wanna be here anymore."

"Come on, Arty." Huntin held out his other hand to his friend, scowling upwards at Darlene. "We can get our stuff later, hun," he whispered to Eliza.

Artemis glanced at Huntin's hand, then he looked down at Buck. Oh, how he wanted to kick the bastard, to hurt him for hurting Eliza. He sighed, looking back at Huntin. "Yeah. Come on, Eliza, we can go shack up in the hotel my parents are at, okay?" He said.

"Okay," Eliza said and sniffed, wiping away her tears even if they were still coursing down her pretty face.

"Just tell me where it is and I can get us. Room number would help too, Arty..." His voice was hurt and distant as he held Eliza close still and took his friend's hand warmly.

Eliza was oddly silent as she let herself be held by Huntin. Bus she didn't feel like she was there with her friends. She felt like she was a whole other person, and she could never return to her happy carefree life she use to live.
Meanwhile outside the paparizzi had hurt the noise and were sneaking pictures here and there, but they were hoping for a better shot of the model Eliza and her green boyfriend.

Artemis looked down at Huntin holding his hand for a second, his gaze then flitting away. "All I have is an adress." He said, taking the slip of paper out of his pocket and putting it in Huntin's hand to replace his own. "Room 411."

Huntin nodded, ignoring the paparazzi. He was glad they hadn't been around to see Eliza use her powers. He concentrated on the place and POOFed himself, his love, and his friend there, the group winding up on the floor, black and green tufts of smoke filling the area.

Eliza resisted the urge to puke as she was ported across town. She squeezed her eyes shut and didn't realize it but squeezed Huntin's waist as they traveled. Slowly she opened her eyes and looked around, "Is this tha right place?" she asked.

"Yeah." Artemis said softly, gazing at the door with a vague disapointment. With a sigh, he stepped forward, knocking on the door.
"Coming!" A voice called from inside. Artemis winced slightly, glancing over his shoulder at his friends. "Please... do not let them get to you. Okay?"

Huntin shrugged as he got up with Eliza, supporting her. He wished teleporting wasn't so rough on some people. "Anything's better than Buck." He wasn't even nervous. Just angry and tired.

"Ih think Ih'm gonna get myh own room," Eliza murmured parting from Huntin's arm, looking slightly dazed as she managed to walk down to the lobby and get another room. Luckily she still had her credit card from shopping earlier. She walked back up the stairs, "Myh room's right here if y'all wanna know," she said quietly opened the door to her room and closed it behind her. She then stripped off all of her clothes and went to take a hot shower, anything to wash away the dirty feeling she felt.

Artemis sighed softly. "If you want to go after her, I will take care of the room arrangements." He said in a low voice. There was audible shuffling inside the room as Artemis waited patiently.

Huntin shook his head. "I think she needs some time alone." He spoke slowly, double-checking his body just to make sure his image inducer was on. Were they still honestly planning on going to the gala tomorrow? Huntin crossed his arms, just wanting to get inside and sleep, not caring about any blood or dirt on him.

Eliza was in the shower for a good half an hour, the longest she had take a shower in a long while. She carefully wrapped herself in one of the fluffy towels that the hotel owned and made her way out to the main room. Drying her hair with an extra towel, Eliza walked over to the mini-fridge and pulled out a pint of ice cream and other junk food, she then put on the compimentery robe and turned on the television and stopped the channel on some old black and white movie.
She felt like crying, she felt like punching Buck, and she just felt like dying, but Eliza repressed these feelings and started eating the ice cream.

Finally, the door opened. A girl, about seventeen, stood there. She was tall, slender, with Artemis's features and dressed in desiner clothes. The only thing different was that she had green eyes. She smiled. "Hello, Artemis," She said, leaning on the doorframe, "Who's you're friend?"
"Danielle, this is Huntin. We need a room." Artemis replied, crossing his arms.
Danielle smirked at her brother. "Alright. I'll call down and arrange it. But you stay here." She closed the door in his face. Artemis sighed. "Well, at least it wasn't my mum or dad." He mumbled.
