Artemis turned away from Bella, refusing to look her in the eye "So, where do I sign up?"

Robin stopped to let Darrien and Wally catch up with him, "Where exactly are we going?"

Darrien shrugged, "Somewhere in Virginia." he lowered his head, "We don't ask, we just follow orders."

"So you don't know what to expect?" Wally asked, he repositioned his pack so it rested on the opposite shoulder.

"We know exactly what to expect, all battles are the same." Darrien watched the caravan of soldiers ahead of him, "Do we have to talk about this?"

Robin shook his head, "Not if you don't want to."

"Thank you." was the only reply.


Artemis packed a few dresses that Bella loaned her into a large satchel.

"Remember Artemis, you won't be able to carry many things once you get to the battlefield." Bella reminded her.

"I know, only the necessities." Artemis shoved one last stocking into the bag, "Thank you so much, Bella."

Bella looked confused when she turned to face the younger girl, "For what?"

"Everything," Artemis motioned to the bag on her side, "You've been so helpful."

"Don't thank me yet, child," Bella chuckled, "I'm going with you."

Artemis smiled and held the door open for her new friend, together they hiked through the woods.
