Chapter 2: The Life I have To Live
I see the looks on their faces as I pass by
They don't see that my life is a lie
I don't care for my title
I want to be seen as me
Lady Artemis Gryffin (AKA Callmegoddess)
Luck was on Artemis's side that day. When she arrived at school she wouldn't be seen until later for classes had been cancelled due to a poltergeist flooding three floors. Artemis met Professor Dumbledore but only for a moment. As she had let her mask of royalty drop purposely he could see the great pain she was in he showed her chambers. They were adjoined to the Gryffindor common room and after telling her that once inside the room she could change the password he left. The entrance to the room was a painting near the Fat Lady of a sun and a moon in the same sky. Once he left the room she flew to her bed and broke down in tears. After about ten minuets she sat up and wiped away her tears.
{This is ridiculous. I have to get control. What would people think if they saw me like this I cant afforded to show weakness not even now}.
She got up off of her bed and went to her trunks she was looking for a specific box in one of them. Once she found it she went over to her desk and set the box down. The box had strange symbols carved on it. Symbols she thought smiling grimly to herself that only one other person in the world could read and even if it were to be translated it would make no sense. The imprint was
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????(?Darkness and Light within a day will bring peace to my heart).
She searched through its contents and although it looked small it held many things. When she found what she was looking for she put the box aside. She held a black velvet jewelry box but it was about half a foot big. She inhaled sharply before opening the case. She let out a breath when she saw what lay on the velvet. Although she had worn it many times before now it was different. On the train Professor Mcgonagall informed Artemis that her advisors and legal guardians insisted upon a formal introduction to the school. This caused Artemis to go looking for that box. On the black velvet lay a circlet of white gold. She rummaged through her trunks until she found a set of blood red robes. She left the robes on her bed and took a few more things with her and entered into her personal bathroom. She had four hours until dinner so she took a long bath to relax herself. When she climbed out of the tub she sat in front of her vanity for a while trying to decide which hairstyle she should use. She decided to go as casual as possible while wearing a circlet. She dried and straightened her hair and then brought it into a ponytail. She left her makeup simple trying to make it almost unnoticeable. She placed the circlet on her head and donned her robes. She went over to her window and looked out at the lake. She stayed there until it was time to meet the school.

" Race you," cried Artemis she began to run. She and a boy race he wins "I won again," he said with a smirk " Your so mean Dray" She says " plus I'm running in a skirt". "Ah yes the horrors that your family makes you wear to make you look like her Ladyship Artemis Gryffin" Dray laughs " You do realize though that most girls would give their whole lives up to be you". Then he begins to chase after her. He tackles her to the ground and they have a tickle fight. "Dray stop" She shrieks then pushes him away from her. " No one tells me what to do Goddess not even you." He cries.
