Hey there people of the YJ fandom! Here's the first chapter of my latest fanfic that I've been meaning to put up. I have no clue if u guys will like but I got 2 approvals from my friends so, whats the worst that could happen?
Chapter 1: The Curse
Narrator P.O.V
Artemis awoken with a pounding sensation in her head. She knew this was strange because 1: she didn't drink and 2: even if she did she would never drink before a mission. That's right the mission! the archer thought. The Justice League had thought they found a link between Klarion and the oh-so-mysterious Light, Batman had sent the team to go investigate. What happened after that? the troubled archer wondered. At the moment those details did not matter, Artemis needed to locate the rest of the team.
Hello? M'gann? Robin? Zatanna? Aqualad? Superboy? Wally? Can you guys hear me? Artemis tried through they're psychic link. When the young archer received no reply she began to frantically look around. How could this be happening? How could she let herself be separated from the team? Artemis stood up and started to run and soon tripped over her dress.
Artemis P.O.V
Okay, so not cool! I have no idea where I am or where everyone else is, plus some idiot put me in a dress! Somebody's gonna pay, big time! Wait my mask! I brought my hands to my face and was relieved to find that my mask was still in it's place and then I look down to look at this ridiculous dress. Of course it's green, how original. Figures, right? I then begin to scan the area, I'm in a big round room with only one source of light, a window. I walk over to it and look out. Holy shit! This has got to be at least 20 stories up! Okay, that might be an exaggeration. More like 15 give or take. Well isn't this just fanfrickn'tastic. I let out a groan and fall back to the floor.
Maybe I should start trying to remember again, let's see Batman sent us to…England! Or the U.K., something like that! The witch boy was in an older part of the country and he was looking for something. The fight was somehow pretty even between the six of us and the one of him. Well the one of him plus his freaky cat, he should leave that thing at home. Anyway, next he…shot M'gann down and was going in for a second one when I jumped in the way. Last thing I remember is darkness and a scream. It wasn't mine though, it belonged to someone with a deeper voice. But who? Ughhhh this is giving me a headache!
This just totally and completely sucks! I was gonna go to the cave and introduce some of my shows to M'gann! I let out a second moan and close my eyes. Maybe this is just a really bad dream. I reopen my eyes and…..DAMN IT! Well I guess it's not a dream. I then hear chuckling as a blue mist began to form itself and an image of Klarion appeared and I march right up to the little twrep.
"Let me out of here!" I commanded
"Tsk, tsk, be calm young hero. Other wise there will be consequences."
"Shut the Hell up and let me go!" I screamed at the blue freak
Then he responded with…
Narrator P.O.V
"Now, now." the witch boy began, taunting the archer, "You don't want to be in a worse situation, now do you?"
The skilled archer growled "Let me out or else when I do I'll break you and skin your damn cat."
"You're in no position to be making threats little girl. This is why I wanted the Martian, she's a lot nicer." Klarion spoke back.
"Funny, I didn't know you knew what nice was." Artemis hissed, voice full of venom.
"As if you do. But you're going to have pay for that, hmm, let's see… I could turn you into a toad, but you might enjoy hopping away from me. Or I could make you become a cat, but then you'd probably scratch me. Oh! I know!" And with that the witch boy snapped his fingers.
"Ha! Nothing-" but then Artemis' hair began to grow incredibly long. It continued to grow until it reach at least 70 feet.
"You can now try to get use to that much hair! But I feel like though it isn't enough. What else could I add to make it worse? Hm? How about being stuck up here and being my own personal entertainer for the rest of your miserable life? Yes I think that will do just fine!" And with that Klarion's image disappeared leaving behind his laughter echoing inside the gloomy room.
Stay there? Forever? As if Artemis would do that, but the only way out was through that window and frankly, she was extremely uncomfortable with how high up the window was to the ground. But her pride was too big for her to admit it.
The archer couldn't remain there, she had to get home and take care of her wheelchair bound mother. Also never see the team again? Her first real family? She had just began to make memories and enjoy herself for the first time in years.
"Hey, at least I'll never have to see Kid Idiot again." she whispered as a tear ran down her face and hit the floor. She knew deep within her heart she would miss Wally the most.
Artemis stumbled over to what appeared to be a bed and collapsed on top of it. She could only hope the others would find her soon.
Meanwhile the team was contacting Batman to tell him the painful news of Artemis.
"Klarion is smarter then he seems. He won't kill Artemis, he'll use her to get what he wants whether it be information about the team and the Justice League or something else." the dark knight stated.
"So what are we suppose to do? We can't sit around and do nothing!" The speedster of the group yelled. The young Wally West was extremely worried about the blonde archer. He couldn't believe he let Artemis slip from his grasp again, the difference was this time she was actually taken from him.
"Woah, calm down KF, I know you're distraught-" The boy wonder was then cut off by his older friend.
"Distraught? You think I'm distraught? This is like the mission simulation! We have to get her back!" The speedster's face had turned as red as his hair, he was furious. He's furry born from his concern and unrealized love for the moon child.
"Kid Flash, I understand that you are upset about Artemis being taken. We all are. But we must act calm, we will figure out a way to bring Artemis back." Aqualad spoke in a stern but understanding voice.
Wally looked at his other team members, Megan was in tears blaming herself while Superboy tried to calm her down. Zatanna was stared off into space, another person she cared about was taken from her. Robin's look of concern could be seen through his mask, he was worried about everyone's emotional state at the moment including his own.
"You're right. I'm sorry." Wally said softly
Batman grunted "The League will try to get a hold of Artemis' location as soon as possible. In the mean time the team will be stay at an estate not far from your location."
"Right. Setting coordinates." M'gann managed to say. They all took a seat as the fly to the estate Batman sent them to Ireland(not to be confused wit Northern Ireland which belongs to the U.K.) Little did they know that Artemis would be closer then they thought.
Okay dudess that's a wrap on this chapter! 4 pages long, not too shabby! Well if you guys want to let me know what you think by leaving a review or you could just do whatever I don't really care. Well, Night everybody!
