The Departure.
Darren woke up to the sun shining in the room.He blinked and sat up slowly.Darren quickly clutched his ribs and moaned softly.The pain had faded a tiny bit in his ribs and the pain in his back,arms and chest had dissappeared completely.Darren pulled up his shirt and looked at his chest.He gasped when he saw there was no welts or bruises.Darren looked around the room and saw Artemis sleeping peacefully in the chair near the couch.He smiled before remembering what se said yesterday about leaving in the morning.Darren sighed and grabbed his shoes.He then quietly put his shoes on and walked to the door.
"Goodbye..I hope we meet again"Darren muttered before walking out the house and into the forest.
Artemis woke up a hour or two later.She yawned and looked around.Artemis sat up and frowned seeing Darren had left without saying goodbye.She sighed and stood up,she then walked to the tiny room where Iwan slept.Artemis slowly opened the door and looked at the sleeping wolf.Artemis smiled seeing he had ate all of his dinner that night while she slept.She cleaned his wounds and rewrapped them before leaving the room quietly.Artemis watered the plants and walked outside.She carried her bow on her shoulder and looked around.Artemis pulled out a arrow out of her quiver and stood still listening to the sounds float in the wind.A distant roar was heard in the wind.Artemis gasped knowing what that sound was from.
"It must be near the town"She muttered running to the edge of the town.Artemis stopped quickly when she came up to the gates.Artemis remembered the people of the village feared her for speaking to the animals and for her using magic and for the crimes her tribe had crimes .She pulled up her hood and tightened her cloak then ran quickly into the town.She dodged past the people.A scream filled the air,Artemis quickly looked up.Everyone panicked and started to run to their homes.A tiny girl about 5 years of age fell down and was getting crushed by the scared villagers.Artemis turned her head when she heard the little girl scream and start to cry.Artemis quickly pushed past the people and grabbed the girl.Artemis jumped up and landed slowly out of the path and of the people.She let out a stream of curses as she set the child down gently.The girl had stopped crying and looked up at the purple eyed stranger who's hair was covered by a hood.
"T-Thank you"The child whimpered.Artemis nodded and turned around.Her cloak flowed out behind her as she used her senses and ran in the direction of the scream from before.Artemis pulled her bow off of her shoulder and grabbed a arrow.Artemis felt her amulet around her neck glow.Her voice began to change when she growled turning into a deep inhuman noise as she leaped over a bush..
