"Daddy? What are you doing here?"

"Artemis, can't I visit my own daughter?" the voice said.

"But, usually, you are still working." Artemis looked around, trying to see her father, then spotted a figure, sitting on her bed.

"Aren't you glad to see your father?" the man was shrouded in darkness, and Artemis couldn't really see if it WAS her father.

"No, not really," Artemis murmured under her breath.

"What was that?"

"I said, yes, of course father."

"Good. I see you have learned something. Now, I heard from a birdie that you have something for me."

"Oh, umm, no, not really."

"Are you sure artemis? I'm going to give you one more chance. Give me the box. NOW."

"What box, daddy?" Artemis tried to play innocent.

"Artemis," her "father" said with a dangerous glint in his eyes, "gives me the box. No more games, little girl."

Artemis did NOT want to lose her new found plaything, so she got mad and threw the box out of the window.

"ARTEMIS! THE BOX!"

Her "father" was distracted, and those few seconds of distraction gave Artemis enough time to bolt out of the door with her teddy, and into the garden where the box landed. She looked at her window, and saw her father looking at her.

"Artemis, just bring the box back, and you won't get grounded."

Artemis thought for a second, and then made up her mind as she swiped the box up and ran as fast as she could into the forest. As she was retreating into the forest, she heard her father cry out behind her,

"Wherever you go, whatever you do, you can't hide, you can't escape, we'll eventually find you."

The forest was extremely dark, and it didn't help that Artemis had just watched a scary movie last week. Animals all around were chirping at her as if saying, "You can't escape, we'll eventually find you." The trees felt as if they all had eyes, watching her, following her.

Artemis shuddered, thinking of what her father would do if he caught her.

She kept running and running. Twigs kept catching her hair and clothes. Roots kept tripping her. Soon she reached the playground.

"Teddy, I'm scared." Artemis whispered to teddy, as she climbed up into the safety of her fortress, tower area, and covered herself with some leaves that had blown in the wind. She shivered and said goodnight to her teddy.

The next morning.

"Wally, time to get up. I'm going to Gotham city again, and I thought maybe you'd like to come with."

"Mooommmm, this early?"

"Wally, it's already 11:30."

"In the morning. On Saturday."

"Wally…."

"Fine. Give me five minutes." Wally remembered Artemis, and got up and got dressed just as mom was starting up the car.

"Wait! WAIT!" he yelled running out just as the car was pulling out of the driveway.

He yanked the door open and leapt in. the drive to Gotham took longer than usual and when they finally got there, Wally ran out of the car saying bye to his mom. He ran into the forest and straight into the park, right when his watch turned 12:00. He didn't see artemis anywhere, so he got bored and sat down on the tree trunk, when suddenly, a hand popped out of now where, and grabbed his mouth.(joking! Wally doesn't get kidnapped. Yet. Maybe.)

When suddenly, he heard someone up in the tree house grumble, "ughhh, teddy, what time is it?"

"Artemis?"

He heard a gasp, then saw Artemis poked her head out of the tree.

"Wally, is that you?" she asked cautiously.

"Nooooo," he said sarcastically, "I'm superman."

"Wally!" Artemis said as she jumped down from the tree.

"Wait, aren't those the same clothes as yesterday? And why is your hair so messy?"

"Ummmm…." Artemis looked for an excuse, "I …. Was really tired?"

"Are you sure?" Wally asked, clearly not buying it.

"Yeah. Oh, anyways-" suddenly Artemis was cut off by Wally's mother.

"Wally! We have to go!"

"Aww, I guess we'll just have to play tomorrow."

Artemis thought quickly, and then said, "Hey, maybe I could go with you! To your house!"
Wally brightened at that idea. "That would be awesome! Wait, you have to go ask your dad-''

"No! no." Artemis cut off quickly. "I…. ummm…. Asked my dad earlier."

"ok!"

Wally, artemis and teddy ran out of the forest to wally's mom.

"wally, what took you so….oh! well, hello there! Wally, who is this?"

"mom, this is my friend, artemis, artemis, this is my mom."

Hellos were said.

"wally, ask her." Artemis nudged wally.

"huh? Oh yeah! Right. Um mom, could artemis come over. To my house."

" well she'd have to ask her par-''

"my dad said it was fine."

"well, then let's go."

They got into the car and drove away to central city. But as they drove on, none of them noticed a black car slowly driving behind them.
