Chapter 7! I am almost done with this story. I know. Sadness. This could be the last chapter, though I highly doubt it. Thanks again for all the reviews…

Artemis…

Artemis had just gotten back to the pond. She had flown (if you could call it that) back. She waited in a field behind a tree out of gotham, waiting. As soon as she became… a bird, she decided it was time to practice her flying. Despite almost crashing into a cow, and an old farmhouse, ok maybe more then one old farmhouse… it was pretty good.

Feeling hungry, she waddled to her bag that she had dropped and pecked at a sandwich. She needed to figure out how to break this spell.

She thought of all the fairy tales. Maybe they had a grain of truth? There was the prince that had been turned into a frog. How was the spell broken again? Artemis thought for a bit, then remembered. True loves kiss. She shuddered.

Umm…. Oh! Beauty and the beast! The household things were… oh no. wait. Guess how they all became human again? True love's kiss.

I take that back! Fairy tales have no truth! She thought, as her thoughts wandered to a certain speedster.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. She flew up to klarion's window and looked through it, hoping to maybe hear klarion talking about it, or maybe a book.

Anything to get out of this…

Wally…

This game of hide and go seek was getting old and sad to wally. It was the same all the time.

She leaves, everyone is sad and depressed.

Suddenly, she appears and everyone is so happy!

Then she mysteriously leaves again. And obviously, everyone is sad and depressed. Again.

Not anymore. He decided. It was time to end this. He walked over to robin, and asked for glue, rope, duct tape, wood, and some pixie stix.

"and you need them for…?"

Artemis…

Artemis checked her watch she had packed.

5:25

Almost time to go! The sun was still kind of high in the sky, but artemis knew that in less than an hour, it would be time to go. The wizard was coming soon.

Time was running short.

Later… about after sunset…

Artemis walked back to the highway after all the shift shaping at the lake. She was running a bit behind schedule. Already 10:30, and she was just getting to the highway. Surprisingly, when she got there, the truck was sitting there blasting out country music. When randy spied artemis, he smiled, and waved her over.

"I was starting to worry!" he said turning down the volume.

"oh, you know… parents…" she lied. Randy smiled and started going off about his kids, and others things.

Eventually, they got to gotham, and artemis was deposited. She waved bye to randy and started running to the phone booth as soon as she was sure no one was following her.

Wally…

Recognized, artemis b06 the computer announced. Wally was waiting.

"ARTEMIS!" megan shrieked when artemis stepped foot in the door. The martian flew over to artemis and hugged her. "why did you leave again? We were all so worried about you!"

"umm… you know… parents?" she lied, using the same excuse. Wally raised his eyebrow, clearly not buying it.

"come to the kitchen! I made a special treat for you!" mgann squealed, hauling artemis to the kitchen.

"ok, ok! I'm coming!" then she laughed. Wally stared at her. That was the first time he had ever heard her laugh, genuinely.

Something was seriously he followed her to the kitchen, to watch her.

Then, much to wally's surprise, she turned to him and said, "I always knew you were a stalker." She smirked.

Wally rolled his eyes, but still blushed. "hey, the kitchen is a public place. If anyone is hungry, they got to eat." He explained to her as if she was a kindergartner.

"well-"

"the cookies! I forgot I put in another batch!" megan shrieked and ran to the oven to take out the smoking pieces of charcoal.

"hungry?"

Artemis…

After choking down m'ganns "food" the team sat down to watch a movie. Artemis hadn't really paid attention, so she didn't know what movie. the team sat down to watch a movie. Artemis hadn't really paid attention, so she didn't know what moviethey had watched. She was too busy thinking about the time. It was already 12:30, and the movie was finishing up.

The sun comes up at about three, so that gives me 3 hours to stay. Well… I still have to see mom, so about… 1 hour left. Mm… I could really go for some yogurt now…

Artemis got up and looked for the yogurt in the kitchen. Finding her favorite, she sat on the island and zoned out.

"its all your fault!"

"how is this MY fault? I didn't even go near it!"

"yeah, but your stupid hair must've touched it!"

Wally and artemis were arguing about who set off the alarm.

This was one of their botched missions against some sportsmaster.

Suddenly, the mission took a different turn. the team suddenly disappeared, and Sportsmaster showed up, and started throwing javelins at her. She dodged each one easily, but then Cheshire showed up and started throwing her poisoned kirushiins along with sportsmaster and his javelins. Artemis kept dodging, until a shadow showed up and started throwing knives. And so forth.

Soon, artemis was getting tired, so she asked him what he wanted.

"get rid of them! All of the! AND you'll start with the annoying one…."

Artemis shook her head. "this is just a dream!' she yelled. "don't believe me? When you wake up, you'll find a javelin with a notewith your pinned to the table!" suddenly, one of his javelins pieced her side. She bit back a scream knowing he could, and would, do worse.

Then she woke up. She felt her side burning, and saw a nasty gash, bleeding. Nervously, she grabbed a napkin to clean up the blood. Then she saw the note.

She screamed.

Her eyes widened, and she clamped her hand over her mouth, as an alarmed team rushed to artemis.

Wally…

Arriving at where artemis had screamed, wally looked around.

"what's wrong?" wally asked worriedly.

"n-n-n-nothing." She said, clearly shaken up. She then got up, and walked to her room at the cave, carrying something in her hand. The team shrugged, the superboy headed back to the living room to shut off the television. Megan followed him. Robin, seeing nothing was wrong, left to his room. Kaldur also went to his room.

So that left a clearly confused wally.

Whom decided to investigate further.

Artemis…

After that little….escapade in the kitchen happening, artemis was clearly shaken up. Looking at the time, it was already 2 in the morning.

WAIT! 2? I have to start packing!

Artemis stated packing rapidly, not bothering to fold her clothes.

As soon as she was done, she grabbed her bag and ran out of the room.

Wally…

Wally had accidentally fallen asleep for 5 minutes, but woke up when he heard something muted fall, and some swearing. His eyes widened, and he got ready into attack position, but then recognized the voice.

Artemis.

He quieted down and looked where artemis could be. He saw her standing by the zeta-beams holding a duffel bag.

Recognized, artemis, b06

Wally quickly jumped into the beams while it was still on.

When he arrived, he saw artemis look around to see if anyone was following her. Seeing nobody, she kept on walking until she reached the highway. Wally followed her, but still kept a safe distance away. Then he saw headlights coming closer to where artemis was.

The head lights belonged to a red truck, who stopped in front of artemis. wally could hear country music being blasted from it, and saw someone wave artemis over. Artemis got up, picked her bag, walked over to the truck, and got in. wally decided to sneak into the back.

After a while, the truck stopped, and wally heard artemis say goodbye and shut the truck door. He slipped out from the truck and saw artemis wait in a field till the truck left. When it was out of sight, she looked around to make sure no one was there. Then she started running further into the field.

Eventually, they reached a small forest. By then the moon slowly started setting. Wally saw artemis look up and bite her lip nervously. Then she started to run even faster deeper into the forest. Soon, they reached a small lake, with a tower in the middle. Wally stayed hidden in the bushes, wanting to see what artemis was going to do. The sun started rising and wally got worried that artemis might see him hiding.

Suddenly, wally saw lights covering artemis' feet. He frowned and wondered why she didn't do anything. The light grew, until it eventually evolved her.

Then, instead of artemis standing in the grass, a swan stood, and wally would swear he saw a tear fall.

Sorry about the kinda cheesy ending. also, sorry about not updating sooner. I had gotten grounded for a while. Anyways… read and review! I need 8 reviews. Thanks for all the review for the last chapter, and yes, I guess there is going to be another chapter. Thank you!
