Amber scoffed, "Give it a few minutes. Let the regret of joining sink in, out of the two of us I can safely say I am a well enough respected member of the gang. How many times have you retrieved information from the enemy side? Know the rules before you join the game." She spat, walking a few steps faster seeing as walking along side Venus made her feel mad.


Stopping by at Artemis door which was already open, Amber announced how they needed to get outside the grotto, ignoring the situation in the room.


Turning around, she smirked, "I'll play fair. You can round up the other two. Oh, and don't call me honey, I'm not so sweet after a little taste." She then turned on her heel, swaying and sashaying down the corridor. "Takes a slut to know a slut, slut." She muttered, cursing under breath.

Once Venus caught up to Amber, she slowed down and started to walk with a swagger similar to her brothers, a smirk on her face. She looked incredibly cocky and it was easy to see that it angered Amber. "Aww, are you trying to impress me ? That's the only reason you would tell me how 'respected' you are considering you seem like nothing more than a slut right now". She was annoyed herself but the way the other girl was acting amused her. Jealous much ? "I think I'm doing alright. Hell, I might even win the game".


Venus peeked in when they reached Artemis' room but winced at the sheer amount of awkwardness in the room. "You heard the bitch", Venus would speak louder than usual just to make sure Amber heard her.


Examining her nails, Venus would look up at her. "Now tell me, who would want to taste you ?". Before Amber could answer the question, Venus sped up, making her way to Paint's room. "You coming, fellow slut ?".

"Speak for yourself, Amber!"


Fenrir rolled his eyes and, after internally scoffing at the way Zeus was acting, he jerked his head to the hallway. His eyes narrowed at how awkward Artemis was when she was pulled in by Zeus, but his suspicion was shielded by his glasses.


"I need to talk with you and Stallion, Art...emis. Thanks for the help with Paint, by the way."


Fenrir turned and bit his lip in regret. The only reason he added the stinging remark at the two was to deflect attention away from the nickname he called Artemis. The only person that had ever consistantly called her 'Art' was a shady informant who was always right, and had requested for her personally and alone every time. He walked out of the room and leaned on the doorframe outside.

Artemis narrowed her eyes as Fenrir walked away, so it was Paint who was screaming hysterically in the background of Artemis' magical moment. She did not bother explaining herself because she was currently nowhere near friends with Paint. Not until she would apologise anyway. As Fenrir requested for her time, as well as Stallion's, Artemis gestured towards Zeus, "You would not mind Zeus coming along would you? It is just I think he might be another commander(!)" She was too exhausted to carry this conversation on so she exited the room, dragging Zeus along.


As she quickened the pace and stopped near Amber, she muttered something only the two could hear. "What the fuck is it these days? Original versus newbies all of a sudden." She said through gritted teeth.


OOC: Only the two could hear. ​

 

[Quillicious]

"I'm serious, Artemis. You and Stallion are basically the highest power here. This guy hasn't been commanding shit since I've been here. The only thing he's done is tried to get in your pants and was all lovey-dovey at you. This'll go much easier with just you two around. At least I'm comfortable with Stallion. It's extremely important information for our in-progress plan. He'll just get in the way."


Fenrir's blatant disregard for authority he didn't respect was clear. He wasn't going to crack, and he told himself even Artemis couldn't break him. Hopefully.


"It's valuable information or going in blind."


In his mind, he tried not to make it awkward and seem like he was trying to force Art into a decision between him and Zeus.

Amber waved Venus off, "Well everybody has already tasted me, I don't do anybody in twice." She said slyly, referring to how nobody had really not slept with her, apart from the few who refused to cheat. She just felt she was designed that way, almost. "And no, you're alright by yourself, surely." She grumbled, looking back and watching Zeus and Artemis join her. The members may have gotten off on the wrong foot but she could not agree more. "Tell me about it." She then folded her arms over her chest, quite unbothered of Venus' remarks.


Zeus nodded, he had to admit some were okay but was it a good time to not agree with the two most crankiest women of the moment. "I don't know, Venus seems fine." He mumbled, he could feel Amber's glare fall on him. "Paint is quite sweet and I think apart from kissing you, no, sorry. I just can't say anything nice about the guy." He concluded.


Slim sighed, so Kobra would not let him out, and if he did, it was to kill him from behind. Slim struggled to free his wrists but after pulling with all of the muscle he could muster, he stopped. The rope had burned his skin, making it sting a little. There was no use but after a little while he bgan to resume attempting to free himself.

Artemis was halted by Fenrir on the way, after listening to what he had to say, Artemis looked between her hand which was clutching Zeus and Fenrir's hand which was clutching her. Was this some sort of decision she had to make, whichever way it worked, it would end up being like a butterfly affect. The decision was clear.


"I'm sure Stallion would love to hear about it." She replied, shaking her wrist to attempt to set herself free. She has just met the guy, and oblivious to his love. His love may have not been dying but it was love.


As Artemis struggled to set herself free, shackled, she realised how determined he was. But it took more than a daring personality to charm her. "Do you mind letting me now." She sucked her teeth, she did not want Zeus to be pulled into this. He got together with her knowing she would not be with those plastic people who caused and created drama, but apart from her fights, there was nothing. Well, until now.

Phantom shook his head lightly upon the scene, the poor man was struggling so that Phantom actually felt sympathy for Slim. He could not help the prisoner, oh no, he would end up getting killed. He never helped anybody anyway, over here it was die fighting or just die by being killed by your so-called family which you cannot leave. The man sighed, he could give a tip or two, he supposed.


"There is only one way out of this. Just say yes, and let me tell you it might not be easy but it is better than being dead." Phantom would now admit something everybody has probably admitted before. "Kobra, the boss is always right. Not because everybody has been programmed to say that but maybe your girl dunt lav ya. What is the problem in toruring yourself, eh?" Phantom asked.
​

 

[Quillicious]

Fenrir broke her grip with Zeus and dragged her into the meeting room, grabbing Stallion by the collar as well. He shut and locked the door, removing his glasses. His hands were placed onto the table in the center as he leaned forward.


"I wanted to say that I saved your life on the night of the firefight a few weeks ago with the Wolves. My...rival in my gang had just killed the person covering your back as you walked past that abandoned restaurant and aimed a gun at the back of your head from a few feet away. He was about to pull the trigger when I tackled him to the ground. I tried to say it was because I saw someone aiming a gun at him, but he didn't believe me. I did it because I felt guilty for the way my gang had become. Later, I posed as an informant and asked for only you. I got to know you, but you had no idea who I really was. I fell in love with you that night, Artemis. And I also checked on you and the camp every now and then. Then the guy I tackled ratted me out and caught me tailing you on the way to a deal. He brought me in, and I made scene to distract him from noticing you in the distance. That's why I got my scar. Because I decided you, the enemy, shouldn't have died then. I leaked information to you for a while, then I was offered a way back in. You know the rest. Now, I'm going to the Wolves personally, and killing Kobra. I'm only letting you two know because one, you're the leader, Stallion, and, well, because you're kind of the center of this little story, here, Art."


Fenrir sighed and looked down at the table. He was glad he had gotten that off his chest.


@Chocoholique @BubbleBoo

 

[soundoftheatm]

Artemis remembered the night as Fenrir explained the story. She had no idea what to feel at that moment, she was introduced to a whole new side of the story. She had helped scouting the area of the restaurant because somebody had given away information to them, now she figured it was Fenrir. As Fenrir stated how he would go to The Wolves to carry out a specific task, to kill the current leader, Artemis felt a genuine concern for him. It was hard not to since she could have died that dark and dangerous night. She was about to deny him her permission, of course he may be welcomed back with open arms by the gang, after finding out that he was alive but trying to kill the crafty leader but set his destiny, with death.


Stallion held his arm out, preventing her from speaking her mind. "If he is so sure, this could be our way in." Artemis' face fell, she knew he may not even last a second. Stallion was serious in all these situations, forcing himself not to make a joke out of things. "But Stallion-"


"Let him do what he wishes. He has faith in himself, if you are alive by tomorrow, we meet at the local park and then you will be guided to the lakehouse by Artemis. Do not fail me." Stallion concluded, leaving the two in the room.


Artemis looked up at Fenrir's face, he was taller than her, obviously. Fuck it, everybody seemed taller than her, they loomed over her. Would he really go to avenge his disrespected status? He had saved her life, could she still warn him to save himself?<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2016_07/F1215105-5959-458C-AD09-18254AA5E02F.JPG.6e193589c13a738d97a9776fc8b25112.JPG" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="139802" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2016_07/F1215105-5959-458C-AD09-18254AA5E02F.JPG.6e193589c13a738d97a9776fc8b25112.JPG" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>
​

 

[Quillicious]

Fenrir shook his head at Stallion's words as he left. With a small voice, he spoke slowly. It shook with emotion, but he didn't look directly at Artemis.


"I'm...I'm not planning on coming back, and I'm not saying goodbye. I won't survive this, Stallion knows it, you know it, and I especially know it. I'll be going straight into their main camp in a couple hours, but I'm leaving in about thirty minutes."


Fenrir didn't think it would come to this, but at least he might take Kobra down with him. Maybe cause a power vacuum and kill off some more candidates, so the Blood could rush in when the Wolves are at their weakest.


@Chocoholique

 

[soundoftheatm]

Artemis spoke with affection, maybe not with enough love but with a hell of a lot of affection for the man. "Do not do this. We need you." She said, furrowing her eyebrows. She clenched her fists and tried to sound angry but it came out as a cry for help. This was probably the first time somebody would die for the gang. Maybe he did it for his own benefits but The Blood too gained something.


"Don't be an ass." She mumbled, knowing he would do it anyway. Knowing he would walk out with barely any weapons, thinking he could kill Kobra with his bare hands or a blunt dagger. Hunter had probably been scouting their area for weeks, going unnoticed until that careless action triggered them finding out their enemy name. Their base was still unclear too. "Where would you go? Where is their base?" Artemis questioned, lightly touching shoulder with her petite hands.

[Quillicious]

Fenrir frowned at her when she said he was needed.


"No, I'm not. You guys were fine without me before. I'm still the newest member."


He flinched backward as she touched his shoulder and took a step back.


"You won't have to look. You'll know when you see it. And don't...don't make this hard, Artemis."


Fenrir still avoided eye contact with her and looked at the floor beside her.


"Harder than it already is."


@Chocoholique

 

[soundoftheatm]

Artemis' gaze wavered onto the stone floor. Should she let him go? She could not stop him, could she? This was what he wanted and he seemed like he would not let her stop him. "If you do... Pass. Will I hear your scream in the distance?" She asked, wondering if The Wolves current base was closer than they thought. She knew, and figured if by morning she received no word, he would have died.


Artemis could not bring herself to speak another word, her thoat became dry and a tear sat on her waterline. Her eyes became like glass and soon the tear dropped down, crashing against her face as she blinked, the one drop strolled down her face but she wiped it quickly, hoping he did not see. At the same time she wanted to make him see, make him see how this did break her to that one point that she cried, for goodness sake! But she did not want to seem weak, even though she was.
​

 

[Quillicious]

Fenrir awkwardly scratched his head as she asked the question. That was a really morbid question, and he didn't know how to answer it.


"I, uh...um..."


He sighed and looked at her for the first time, but only saw her gorgeous raven locks he so adored, not the shimmering pools of molten silver that made him quake at the knees when his locked with hers. Suddenly, he felt a wave of regret as he saw her brush a hand across her face. His heart leapt to his throat as he tilted her chin up with his hand and saw she was crying. Fenrir's face contorted with sorrow as he realized the pain he caused her, he was being completely unfair in admitting he was the only reason she was with him now, then going on a suicide mission. After a few seconds of gazing into his one and only's eyes, he pulled her into a hug.


"I'm sorry. I won't go if you don't want me to, Art. I promised myself I'd protect you for the rest of our lives, and I hate going back on my word."


@Chocoholique

 

[soundoftheatm]

Artemis looked into his eyes as he told her about his personal vow. Protect her? She hardly needed protecting, but it was sweet. "I'll be fine, just... Stay safe. Be careful and damn it, don't go in there without a gun." She advised, nudging his shoulder playfully and placing a false and very fake smile on her lips. "I hope I see you around." She chimed, hoping to create a more positive atmosphere. She told herself he would return with a few scratches, bruises and scars but still alive, she repeated the sentence many times, hoping that after the huge amount of times she said the phrase, she would believe it.


Her sneakers rubbed against his shoe as she stood before him, her grey orbs examined his face and she slowly took his amplifiers off to reveal the scar. She stood on the tips of her toes and placed a light kiss on his cheek, not on his lips knowing she could not bring herself to do that to Zeus.
​

 

[Quillicious]

Fenrir closed his eyes after, heaving a deep sigh. He wanted so badly to stay, but he would do it for his family. With a smirk, he looked down at her.


"Heh. It's not that simple. Thanks for the thought, Art, but we both know better. I'm sorry for this."


He kissed her softly on the lips as he lifted her up by the waist. To Hell with it, he wasn't gonna make it back, and knew she, deep down, understood as well. It was light at first, but after a second or two he increased the intensity.


@Chocoholique

 

[soundoftheatm]

Artemis did not do anything as Fenrir's kiss embraced her lips at first, but as she found more force being applied and more passion, she opened her eyes and turned away, breaking the bond. She could not give him what he wanted, he could not give him the entire package of Meredith Potter. She clutched onto his shirt, looking down and then meeting his gaze, "I'm sorry." She apologised, she could not fake her feelings. A part of her desired him as she discovered this new type of love but how was he different from Zeus? Both made her heart ache, and then you throw unforgotten Stallion into the mix. Her first love which everybody mistaked for a silly school-girl crush.


Parting from Fenrir, Artemis smiled lightly, "Hasta la vista, Wolfie." She then looked up into his eyes, her grey orbs twinkling.

 

[Quillicious]

As soon as she broke away, Fenrir opened his eyes and quickly squeezed them shut. He raised a tight fist up at his face level and pressed it to his forehead. Kobra and the Wolves could wait. Artemis was here and now. He would at least stay on more day. Leaving her was like hacking off his legs. No, it was worse, like disembowling himself. His eyes were rimmed red as he opened them. Here came the waterworks. The only time he had ever cried was...never. When Craig died, he felt like he betrayed him because he just couldn't cry. Now, faced with parting with the absolute love of his life, his eternity, it was simply unbearable.


"Art, I'm sorry, but I can't do it right now. I can't leave you, not now, not ever. At least, not today. You have no remote idea of how much I love you. It physically hurt to be away from you when I upset you. It burned me to hear Zeus accuse you of having any kind of an affair with me. That was all my fault, and so was this. I can't believe I did it again, but I had to, Artemis. I just had to. I'm addicted to you."


A few tears streaked down Fenrir's face. He attempted to get his glasses back, but he was shaken to the core by the torrent of emotions he unleashed upon himself.

Artemis so dearly wished that she could do something, his sudden outburst made her seem so surprised. This member who at a glance appeared to be so confident was now near tears. She fiddled with his glasses before handing them back into his palm and finally folding his fingers in place to grasp them. "He did not hurt me, he was just... A little upset." She said, "You know I cannot do this. I do love you, that grateful side of me does. I just love him more." She said, wondering whether she would regret her decision.


"You can stay, or you can go. Either way, I will still be here, waiting." She concluded, turning away, it hurt her to leave him like this, without an answer. How would she address her views on this sudden and complicated relationship they possessed?


It was impossible, that was how she viewed it. She did not want to go, but another part of her wanted to turn away and run, just run, probably run to find a hug from Zeus which could comfort her. Another part cried out to him, 'Please stop me.'
​

 

[Quillicious]

Fenrir watched her go, his glasses in hand. He looked down at them to see Artemis' smudged fingerprint overlapping one of his. He thought about for a moment, his skin tingling wherever she touched him, and his cheek felt numb, along with his lips. He touched them with two fingers, remembering her silky lips, the softest things he could think of. At the moment, his whole, entire world was walking away. As he thought about it, he corrected himself. She didn't belong to him. She didn't belong to anyone. Artemis deserved better than any man on the planet could ever be, but he could sure as hell try. He sprinted after her, running to her room first.


"Artemis?!"

Artemis stood still as he heard her name run from his mouth, it made her stop in her tracks. She turned around, looking between Fenrir who was travelling towards her and Zeus. She could not do it, but she had to. She had to keep Fenrir's hopes up and then drop him, it was purely an accident, her heart was confused. "I'm sorry, Fenrir." She blurted out, Zeus was right there and she could not do it, she could not break Zeus heart in the meantime. She loved it, being referred to as his girl.

[Quillicious]

Fenrir shook his head and sighed, waving the apology off. He took a step back.


"No, no. I...don't be, Art. I'll...be, uh, prepping, I guess. For the thing."


He felt completely stupid and crazy for thinking he could get with Artemis. She's his fucking superior! These thoughts ran through his head as he took a breath to steady himself. He opened his mouth to speak, but nothing could come out, not even a squeak. He walked to his room and fell down onto the bed, facing the ceiling. His hands covered his face, and he regretted telling Stallion and Artemis his secret. He just looked desperate to himself, pulling that on her.


@Chocoholique

 

[soundoftheatm]

Artemis bit her lip, she had been breaking many hearts for a while now but she did not ask for this. They could have all ignored her and made her go unnoticed but no, she always knew she was special, everybody told her so. Watching Fenrir retreat back to his room, Artemis looked down, feeling responsible for his current state. She then diverted her gaze onto Zeus, hoping he would not ask any questions about the situations. She brushed her lips, that kiss felt so unreal but yet so real. Artemis wanted to cry, being young and very naïve she had no idea what her heart was saying.


'Stick with Stallion, you always did love him.'


'Zeus had your eye for a while.'


'Fenrir loves you, he vowed to protect you.'


She could not take this feeling anymore, the feeling of not knowing what to do.
