James looked at Remus then through the window. "She is dead...." said James
looking at her.
Artimis looked up and into James' Eyes. She stood up and floated up to the
window.
She put her hands on the window and whispered something. She turned into
what looked like an Angel. The Window; and the wall seemed to disappear
with the light and mist streaming around her. James and Remus felt like
they were falling. And they were; into another dimension.
James and Remus landed on a floor; everything was white. They looked so
dirty in the room. Artimis appeared in front of them. "Why did you come?
You know that it means certain death? Did you not see Sirius?" She asked as
she floated down her feather wings twitching slightly.
Remus looked at her; right now she looked about 16; her clothes looked like
it was made of light; white; a dress like shape. Ruffling around her. She
wasn't wearing any shoes.
Remus stood up. "You're the girl! The one that died at Hogwarts. I heard
about you when Dumbledore was talking to his Phinox! He said 'Why couldn't
I stop that werewolf for killing my poor little girl Seven years ago? Why
couldn't it have just killed me? Oh, Artimis....' That's what he said; and
you! You're Artimis!" He said walking closer to her.
"Yes I'm the one of which you speak;" she said as she landing in front of Remus. "but you haven't told me why you came here." She said as she leaning closer to him.
"Tell me first why you fell in love with Sirius." Said Remus
~*~
a/n: As a joke I thought I would make Artimis say " Read chapters 1-22" but I thought that would make it all seem a little bit odd....
~*~
"I've been a ghost for 7 years. I've always lived in the clock tower. Then I saw Sirius' and I could feel a wound inside him; one that seemed to be a unhealed wound; a wound that was slowly eating him up; it felt like he was dying inside himself. I could tell something had happened. I watched him and saw he had my dream; my dream of how I was killed. I talked to him and explained that I need to leave the real world and go to the world of the dead. The only way was to show my grandfather, or as you know him Dumbledore, that he was not the cause of my death; and I don't think he is guilty and that he is not guilty. Somehow as time went; he fell in love with me; and I fell in love with him. I didn't want to. But I did. I know now that I will have to leave this world and leave him behind. Forever. I do not want to but I have to, so my dear grandpapa can realize that it was not his fault. But now I want to stay. Almost more than anything." Said Artimis feeling her tears sting her eyes.
"But why are you here?! If you die and leave him as well, what will he have left?" Yelled Artimis turning her hands into fists; at her sides.
"We've come to take Sirius back. But now that he doesn't have his soul we have a slight complication." Said James walking up next to Remus
"I'll help you as long as you help me." Said Artimis looking up at them; she felt her tears disappear and her hands relax. "Fine, now can you get us inside the castle?" asked James. Artimis waved her hands and they were back in the cage.
"You will need this to get past the guards." Whispered Artimis, handing James his cloak. Artimis was still in her angel like form.
"Thanks...." Said James slowly taking the cloak. "But how do we get out of this cage?"
"Take my hand, both of you." She said Remus looked confused then looked like he just found a cure for cancer.
"How will that help?" asked James
"Ghosts can travel through walls, and bars." Said Remus
"Oh yeah. I knew, I mean I know that!" said James he then took Artimis' other hand. All three of them went through the bars.
"I think the guards are on break." said Artimis' looking around.
"Yeah, I kind of guessed that." Said James
Artimis started to walk forward; she got through the bars and got Remus and James through the bars too.
"You must be fast; the guards will be back soon. I don't want you two to be hurt. Now, go!" said Artimis; and shoved them off. She then went back into the cell.
"Sirius; don't worry, they'll be back. I know it." Artimis said as she sat down next to Sirius' body.
~*~
"Lord! I must go and speak with Artimis!" Yelled Samantha as she burst into Voldemort's room.
"Why? Why would you need to speak to her?" he asked as he sat up.
"I have a feeling that she is plotting something to come get Sirius' soul back." Samantha said
"Of course she is." Voldemort said rolling his eyes
"But she won't do it. She'll have someone else do it." Said Samantha
"I don't care; they don't know how to put it back in him anyways." He said lying back down on his bed
Samantha nodded. "Still; I'm going to go to watch her." She said and hurried out of the room
She ran all the way to Artimis' cell.
"Artimis? Are you there? Or did you go to steal Sirius' soul?" Said asked in a wicked voice that whipped through the dark air
"I'm here." Said Artimis' voice; almost to quiet to hear
"Good; I'm supposed to watch you." Said Samantha
"I can tell."
"Did you ever miss me?" Samantha asked
"How can you miss someone that wants you dead?"
Samantha paused; she didn't know what to say. She had wanted Artimis' dead; but did she still? Stabbing Artimis was like stabbing herself.
"I missed you." Samantha said breaking the silence
Artimis paused. She didn't want to talk. Artimis heard a whisper then the hall and cell filled with light. All the torches where lit and the floating candles where lit too.
"Samantha? I heard you. Are you down there?"
"Yes; my Lord." Samantha said
"Good. Now stay still. Tell me what you want to do with Artimis. And if you lie I'll have to kill you." Voldemort said grinning
"I want her to burn in hell; while we have her soul." Said Samantha looking up at him
"Stupid girl. Don't think I don't know when you lie." Said Voldemort and waved his hand at some guards. He turned a corner and disappeared.
The two guards walked towards Samantha and raised their wands. Artimis ran out of the cell and tackled one of them.
"Run!" Artimis yelled.
Samantha looked worried; then ran as fast as she could.
Artimis could feel both of the guards wands poke into her back.
"Now girl; what was that for; get back in that cell; or I'll make your friends body dissolve." Said the guard she had tackled.
Artimis willingly walked back into the cell and sat back down next to Sirius.
"Hurry the hell up Remus and James!" Artimis yelled to herself
~*~
"This place is like a maze!" said James
"Look there, I think that's his chamber."
"Why do you say that?" asked James
Remus pointed to a sign outside of the room that said "Lord Voldemort. Prepare to grovel."
"Ahh...." said James nodding
They slowly pushed the door open. No one was inside.
They saw the wand with Sirius' soul.
James poked Sirius' soul. "I think we should take it off." Said James pulling Sirius' soul off. James couldn't keep a hold of it. And it went flying threw the open door.
"Oh shi....talking mushrooms." James said
Remus and James ran after the loose soul. It made them run all the way back to the cell. When James and Remus got back to the cell they couldn't see the soul anywhere.
"Where's the soul?!" Hissed Remus from under the cloak.
"Oh, I, well, see, It came in here and then it flew into me." Said Artimis standing up and looking around for Remus and James
"What?!" Said Remus "How are we going to get it into Sirius?"
"That's it! Artimis is the most important thing to Sirius!" said James
"Wh-What do I do?" asked Artimis.
"That's what you have to figure out. Uh. How do we get back in?" asked James
"Take my hand; both of you." Said Artimis as she stuck her arm through the bars
They both grabbed her arm; and she slowly pulled them back in.
Artimis sat down next to Sirius' to think of how she was supposed to do. Artimis heard a little voice inside her head. "Kiss me." said the voice
"What? Who said that?"
"Kiss me"
Artimis paused.
"That's it!" She burst out
"What? What?" said James who had started to fall asleep
Artimis' leaned over in front of Sirius; and kissed him. His cold frozen lips suddenly felt warm.
Artimis pulled her head away. Sirius' eyes opened and he looked into Artimis face.
"Artimis, you're alright!" Said Sirius hugging her
"Of course I am." Whispered Artimis in his ear
"THE SOUL! IT'S GONE! WHERE IS IT? GO AND FIND IT; AND WHOEVER HAD IT, KILL THEM!" Yelled Voldemort; loud and clear.
Artimis jumped up. "Get on your brooms! Grab the cloak; wait both of you get on the same broom. I have to get my mother. Sirius' you go too." Artimis said Hurrying around the room.
"No, I'm staying here with you." Said Sirius "Remus James, go I'll see you guys in a bit."
"No Sirius. You have to go. I don't want you hurt." Said Artimis
"I don't care if I'm hurt!" said Sirius "Leave you two." Said Sirius
Artimis waved her hand at the wall; it disappeared and showed the outside, wind seemed to pull Remus, James and Sirius to where the wall had been; Artimis stood there; her hair whipping towards the wall. Remus and James where pulled out; but Sirius grabbed onto Artimis.
"I don't want to leave you. Please let me stay here with you." Said Sirius; squeezing her arm
Artimis looked at him; she waved her hand and the wall appeared again. She hugged him "Promise me that whatever happens you'll leave if it gets that bad; or if I tell you to later."
"I promise." He said
"We have to hurry." She said grabbing his arm and pulling him out of the cage; they flew; Artimis' angel wings flapping; her eyes scanning her surroundings.
"Where is my mother?" Artimis asked herself. She then spotted a cluster of guards seeming to beat upon something. Artimis dived down to see what it was. It was her mother.
"Get away from her!" Yelled Artimis' as she touch the ground not much more than 10 feet away. About ten guards looked up and turned to her; they didn't have wands though; they had medieval battle weaponry. They drew their swords/axes. And charged.
Artimis waved her arm and got a sword in her hands. She swung it; and chopped of about 2 guard's heads. One guard got past her and stabbed Sirius in the chest. Time seemed to stop for Artimis as she saw Sirius' face. And the man who had stabbed him.
Artimis spun around and sliced that man in half. Sirius was still conscious. He was slowly sliding down the wall. She waved her hand and the sword spun by its self chopping of peoples heads until all the guards where dead.
Artimis ran over to Sirius and looked at his wound. It was a puncture to the side. He was going to need help leaving.
"Artimis...." said a weak voice
Artimis turned and looked her mother was looking over in Artimis' direction.
"M-Mum?"
"Yes, come here."
Artimis crawled over to her mother. And put her head in her lap.
"I wish you could be alive. That's my wish before I die; is that you live for as long as you want too. Please; just listen to me. I never wanted you to be killed but I had too. Voldemort was making me. I don't know how," Samantha coughed up blood and took a deep breath. "I love you." She said and her eyes closed. She was gone.
Light surrounded Artimis and her mother.
"Artimis!" Yelled Sirius
The light lasted for no more than 30 seconds. When the light died down; there was a girl standing; Sirius couldn't see the girl clearly.
"W-who?" said Sirius
"Sirius, I, I guess I'm alive now." Said a familiar voice
"Artimis?"
The girl stepped out of the shadows and into the light. Sirius saw her face; and it was Artimis'. . . She was alive. . . .
