I OWN NOTHING
Artemis walked through the forest trying to note some surroundings. Judging by the sky it was mid day. She walked for a good twenty minutes before she came to a beautiful spring. Flowers grew on the banks and you could hear the sounds of birds and frogs. The water was a very clear crystal blue. At the far end of the spring there was a small but beautiful waterfall. To Artemis this place looked like heaven.
Artemis jumped into the water and it surprisingly warm for the middle of March. She was covered in her own blood from her encounter with Bellatrix and she felt so dirty. She brushed off the dry blood and washed her hair as best she could. Artemis got out and was instantly freezing, but she designed against going back in the water because she knew if she went back in she would never get out. So she sat on the bank and lay in the flowers.
Fenrir came into sight of her but she didn't see him. Artemis was singing a beautiful song in French and he didn't want to ruin her moment. Artemis finished and looked back at the spring it was sunset and she knew she should go back but it was a beautiful sight. "Memorizing isn't it?" Fenrir asked and Artemis's head snapped to him and she put a hand over her chest.
"You scared me." Artemis whined sarcastically.
"I come here when I am troubled." Fenrir said walking over to Artemis and sitting next to her. "I am surprised you made it this far into the forest."
"I have been out and about since dawn." Artemis looked at him as he sat but she looked back at the sunset. "So you came to find me because you are afraid I wouldn't get back before night, right?"
"Well not really. I came to find a deer to feed us." He admitted.
"Well did you find one?" Artemis looked at him.
"Yes." He nodded. "I am going to make blankets from the skins. The nights will be cold until at least mid April." Fenrir got up and offered her his hand. "Come young one. You need to get back." Artemis moved her hand toward his but stopped short and started to question that. But after a moment her hand moved into his and he pulled her up gently. They stood there with their brown eyes locked in a gaze. Fenrir moved his thumb over her hand and she slowly pulled her hand from his and walked into the forest. Fenrir took one last look at the pink sky before following her back to the cave.
When they returned to the cave there were pieces of new raw meat next to a dying fire. Fenrir grabbed some wood and threw it on the fire and it began to grow stronger. "I'll cook for myself." Artemis offered. "You go work on those blankets." Fenrir nodded and grabbed one piece of meat before heading further into the cave.
Artemis looked around and saw a small box of spices, she pulled out some salt and sprinkled some over the meat and then put it over the fire to cook. She sat listening to the sounds of early evening while she waited for her meat, and she jumped when she felt something go around her shoulders. She looked up and saw her kidnapper (if you could call him that.) and looked at the deer blanket he had put around her. It was soft and heavy and would no doubt keep her warm. "Thank you." She said in a small voice.
"You are welcome." Fenrir said before going back in to finish his blanket.
