Danny POV: I woke with a startle. The storm outside getting worse and worse. My red eyes wandering around the dim room. Then my eyes wandered to the sleeping form in my arms. Even sleeping, Artemis made me smile. Her blonde hair undone from her usual uptight ponytail. Her eyes resting gently closed and her lips curled into a small smile.
"she's so beautiful," I said. If I had a dime for every time I said that, I'd be rich. My eyes trailed down her face and noticed the dark circles under her eyes. I sighed knowing that she hadn't slept in a few days. She trained herself day and night, working herself to the edge. She is a skilled fighter from all her training, but one day she's gonna realize that she needs to sleep. I was just relieved that she was resting now. She seemed so peaceful and calm.
I then became a bit worried when her peaceful face was replaced by a troubled one. She tensed up and started mumbling incoherently. She was having a nightmare like usual. I held her close to my chest and stroked her hair gently. "shhh archy. You're okay," I said trying to calm her down. She slowly calmed down and nuzzled my chest, almost as a sleeping "thank you". I smiled and kissed the top of her head. I could of sworn he saw her smile.
Once she calmed down, I slowly crawled out of bed and put a blanket over the sleeping archer. I stretched and looked out the window to see the storm raging on. The trees shook and the thunder rumbled and made my wolf-like ears twitch. I walked around Artemis's room looking at her possessions. There was a picture of us together at the carnival together. There was another picture of her in some kinda talent show, it seemed. She looked happy in the picture and her mouth was open, indicating that was singing a song. I always wondered about her singing voice. What was it like? I imagined her singing voice being strong and powerful, and yet so soothing. Almost like a mother's lullaby. She must have an amazing voice, and one day she would show it. I then saw a few papers strewn about her desk. He thought it was homework, but he looked closer. There, on her desk, was sheet music for a song she was writing. I didn't want to intrude, but I was so curious. I looked over at the lump on the bed. She was sound asleep. It seemed even the loud storm wouldn't wake her. I picked up the papers and brought them closer to my face, so I could see them in the darkness of the room. I blushed and smiled to read the song that was supposedly dedicated to me. I hummed the tune softly so I wouldn't wake Artemis. I put the papers down exactly how I found them and walked back to the bed.
I crawled back into the bed next to Artemis, hoping to get a little more sleep. I drifted off into sleep smiling and humming the same tune softly
