"Good Job Baby girl." Sportsmaster smirked crossing his arms.
Artemis held her bow and shot another arrow. The arrow dug itself deep into the target's red center.
"Thank you Daddy," Artemis smiled. She was proud of herself for making her dad happy.
"Alright, you can sleep now." He said turning his back to little Artemis.
Artemis packed all of her weapons and pulled all of her arrows out for the targets. Then she went inside. She washed her hands and crawled into her bed. Her eyes wandered to the bed next to her. Jade wasn't home yet. Artemis worried about her sister. She put her small, calloused hands together and prayed that Jade will be fine. Then she closed her tired eyes and slept.
She woke up with a sudden thump. Jade was on their bedroom floor covered in slashes and a small pool of blood was forming under her. "Jade!" She exclaimed. Artemis jumped out her bed and rushed over to Jade. "Are you okay?"
"Artemis..." Jade whispered. Then Jade lost consciousness. Artemis gathered all of her strength and dragged Jade to the tiny bathroom. She dampened a towel and started cleaning Jade's wounds. Then she bandaged her arms,legs, and her back.

The next morning, she practiced knives while Jade skipped the morning practice to heal herself. Artemis went into her room and looked at her calendar. Her week practice from Monday to Friday was Knives, Guns, Combat, Martial Arts, and Archery. On Saturday she would practice with her dad on whatever he chose. Usually it was a lesson on camouflage, being secretive, or even hacking databases. On Sunday's she would work on her schoolwork her mom would give her. Then she would have fun with her mother.
But this Sunday was different, her dad was bringing her on a mission.

"Watch my back baby girl" Sportsmaster said.
Artemis nodded. Then they rushed into the bank. Sportsmaster took out her gun and shot the employees and the guard. Then he rushed into the vault, Leaving Artemis in the front to deal with the remaining people. " Keep quieting keep your hands out so I can see them" she ordered. She looked behind her back and saw a woman in her mid thirties pull out her cellphone. She walked to the woman and kicked her phone out of her hands in a swift motion. She pulled out her knife and held it to the woman's throat. "Please don't kill me." She begged. " I have a daughter and a husband!" Artemis loosened her grip on the knife. " And how old is this precious daughter of yours?" Artemis asked, acting cocky. "Ttt-twelve ." The woman answered honestly. Twelve . Artemis thought. That is my age.
"Let's go!" Sportsmaster yelled. Pacing out the back door. Artemis followed behind and did not look back at the woman she almost killed.

"Please don't leave Jade!" Artemis begged.
"Sorry sis." Jade replied before slipping back into the darkness.
That was years ago, Artemis thought. Then she continued sharpening her arrows.
