One day left
" I don't see what your problem is ! It's not as if you've got anything to live for here anyway."
Glory yelled at him in annoyed confusion, Artemis rose his head, a nasty purple bruise had formed on his cheek, it was a sign of disobedience, that's what Glory had told him. Artemis sighed inwardly, he had given up one Master for another, only this one hadn't collared him it was because she didn't need to. She had come very close to breaking him, to be honest now that his aforementioned death loomed so close Artemis was afraid of her. His fear was what kept him enslaved to her, it was just as sufficient as the collar had been.
" Slave I asked you a question ! Don't just sit there and say nothing, answer my question or ask me something."
Artemis was afraid but he still had his brains, this was a good opportunity to get valuable information.
" Is this what I am ? As The Key I mean, am I your Slave,"
Glory shook her head, a expression of warmth was on her face.
" Slave once your free of that unworthy body your be my partner, your power is absolute. We're partners you and I Key, at the moment your still trapped in that spell, but once your made the Key, then we're be equals, I'll be a God again and your be free."
Artemis against his better nature couldn't help but fill wistful about how she described it. An equal again, free and with absolute power, he felt drawn to it.
" Will I still remember this, remembering being me ?"
Glory looked at him in open interest, she sat in a chair beside his kneeling form and stroked his hair.
" You know what I can't answer that Slave, I guess your remember but don't worry when your immortal again all this doesn't matter, these feelings, morals they all melt away."
Artemis was out of words, his mind turned to Holly, how hard Holly had tried to save him, and Foaly. But in the end it had all been for nothing.
" What did you say Slave !"
Her tone was angry and Artemis knew he must have said Holly's name.
" You know what I told you about saying her name."
A hard slap, his head banging on the hard floor and darkness.
Darkness, Holly's eyes fluttered open, when she realised where she was she rushed to the pole where Artemis had been.
" ARTEMIS !"
When she saw he wasn't there she froze. Her insides went cold, she'd failed. She'd promised him she would save him.
She looked out into the night sky, there was still time, not much it was lessening every second, but there was still a chance.
Hope you liked it, I can't believe how close I've come to the end !
