She felt warm again, scratch that, she felt her toes again. Fora sighed and snuggled closer to the warmth of the thick blankets. "Ah…Ah….CHOO!" She sneezed; she heard a sigh next to her, "Fora I know your awake, can you please let go of my arm?"

Fora cracked opened an eye, Artemis was sitting on the bed with her holding a book; she was wearing PJs and was looking at her with a waiting expression. "Cause I can't really feel it anymore and I need to get a tissue and wipe your…spit…off of me." Fora noticed that it was one of the times that Artemis actually said out loud the word please, also that Artemis was waiting for her to get better,so she let Artemis's arm that she was holding for warmth go. Artemis sighed in relief. "Ah, thank you blood…"

Artemis looked at Fora, her eyebrows furrowed, "What happened?" Fora sighed, "Well Rick left when I fell asleep and I seemed to have gotten a cold…Oh, but why are you here again?" Artemis shrugged, "I had nothing better to do, plus you got me into a head lock and wouldn't let go."

Fora rubbed the back of her neck, "Sorry about that." She sneezed again, Artemis handed her the tissue box. "Its….well try not to do it again," Fora nodded, "I know this seems kind of sudden but I need you to get something…."

Fora blew her nose and looked at her, "What is it?" she asked curious. "I need you to take care of one of my baby deer's for a little while. Her name is MoonLance, she's….she's something alright. " Artemis hesitated. "She's very scared of people, but I can't take the time to take care of her. I need to go and do some stuff." Artemis's eyes flashed silver, "It will only be for a little while, you can start when you get better, as in your bruised bone. Thank the gods that you didn't break a bone."

Fora raised an eyebrow, "Uh. Okay, why not? But why didn't you ask the others, I'm sure one of the others could have-" Artemis cut her off, "No. You are the Lieutenant right?"

Fora nodded, "Yeah, and?" Artemis sighed, "This deer is very hard to control. I'll give you more info when I have it but for now it's one of your duties to attend it when you're healed and able to walk…actually run."

Artemis kept muttering while Fora, on the other hand, was wondering what was so aggravating this deer would be. While in her deep thoughts she started to yawn. "I'm going to go to sleep," Fora said, "So, good night." She leaned over Artemis and turned out the table light, then went and tucked herself under the heavy cloth.

_Other Night_

Artemis looked at the slumbering huntress; she put the book mark in her page and put it off to the side. "You totally don't know what was coming to you." She muttered Fora was like a daughter to her in a way, although it was a weird thought since she was actually the same age as her. Artemis smirked as that followed to her mind, "It's not just the deer, nope it's more than that, but you'll see soon enough." Fora rolled over, taking the covers with her.

Artemis sighed; she leapt out of the bed. She walked over to the door, looking back she smirked. A sliver light wrapped around her and she was wearing her huntress gear yet again. "See you later Fora,"

_New Day_

Fora woke up at the sound of muttering outside of her tent. She breathed in deep through her nose; her cold finally seemed to be gone because of the rest and the ache's of her bones were better. She brushed her hair and went out to see what was happening. "Hey? What's with the chatter?" She asked

"Artemis went missing, well not missing missing, but is not here and she told no one." The littlest Huntress, Amelia, asked. "Do you know were Artemis is? 'Cause that would be great,"

Fora sighed, "Well, no. I just saw her yesterday but that was the last time. I need to get dressed and see a…certain deer that she wanted me to see."

Amelia's blue eyes widened, "OoooooO! A deer? Can I come?" Fora hesitated, "Uh, maybe later, this is the first time I'm going to see it. So…" Without another reply she went back into her tent and got dressed. She then went out to see one of the other huntresses looking at her with the oddest expression, "What?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Said Zoe, Fora raised an eye brow, "What?" She asked again, getting a little irked. Zoe shrugged, "Are you sure that you don't know anything about the where about of Artemis?" For a shook her head, "No, I'm sure."

Zoe nodded, "Okay, See ya later then." Fora watched as Zoe turned around and left. She furrowed her brows. Well that was weird, She thought. "Well now for the deer," She exclaimed as she started into the woods. The woods felt like home as she went swiftly through the many trees. The deer, Artemis explained the day before, was in the Trance Moon waters. It was a little off of where they were now, about not even a half of a mile's walk. Fora shouldered her bow and quiver. For her and the other huntresses, it only took about fifteen minutes to get there if they ran. As she got there she scanned the area to try to find the little deer, "Now where are you…"

What she didn't see was a small shadow behind her it wagged its tiny tail and started back. Then ran and "OUPH!" Fora fell on her stomach as something was on her back.

"Well I found you," She said, she turned the little deer was looking at her as she tried to push it off of her. "Come on I need to see you,"

Yet again the deer didn't budge, "Well," She said, "What should I do now?"
