Just the intro (:
5-STAR, I hope you like it ;) I know it's a short chapter, but I had to publish at least this :/ sorry we've taken so long…
Everything was peacefully quiet in the Queen Manor that night, prove of that was the sleeping redheaded boy sprawled at the couch.
He had told himself that it would be just a little five minutes nap… Obviously, his body has decided otherwise, so now he had been sleeping about four hours.
It wasn't like he didn't deserved it, anyways. He had faced a very hard week; training every afternoon, missions almost all the evenings, patrolling every late night, and, top of it, that and the previous week were full of tests and the teachers at school had decided to start scheduling assignments like crazies. Luckily he had survived the week.
Naturally, he was tired as hell. As soon as he got home, he threw his backpack aside before heading to the first mattress-like surface he found, which happened to be the lounge room, and collapsed on it.
Sadly, he couldn't enjoy too much his little moment of rest. Well, not to sadly for the blonde girl now smiling and hidden behind the couch. With an evil grin, she took the whistle to her mouth and blew furiously.
"AH! WHAT THE…!" screamed in panic, jumping to the floor to stand in a combat position… until he heard the laughter of the devil creature who had awaken him. Well, if you can describe a teenage girl who loves archery and spend her nights saving people as a devil creature.
Even if his rage leveled up, he somewhat relaxed when he recognized the familiar sound. At least it wasn't some psycho or criminal who had sneaked in the house.
"You should have seen your face" she finally spoke, getting out his hideout. The laughter had already stopped, but a huge smile decorated her face.
"What are you doing here?" the older archer asked, straightening up and trying to not sound so bitterly. He had stupidly promised Ollie and Dinah that he would actually try to get along better with the girl.
In another circumstances, he would have never agreed to such thing, but it looks like Oliver and Paula Nguyen had decided to share Artemis' custody. How did they were able to legally do that? Who knows, maybe Oliver's millions of dollars had had something to do about it. However, since apparently they would spend a lot of time together from now on, the adults seem to think that it would be best for them if they got along.
Of course, it was easier say than do…
At the moment she heard the question, her smile fainted a little, but she managed to keep it there.
"My mom is visiting some relatives in her country… so I'm spending Thanksgiving here" she answered, saying the last part with an amused and devilish grin.
That was it; Goodbye peace.
