Daggerhorn..

(:o what.the.fuck.)

Artemis quickly hurried back stage and surprised him with a hug from behind "ello" she kissed across his back

((told you ha. It needed action or something and that was the first thing that popped to my mind))

"Hello," James chuckled and turned to kiss her and then stopped hearing Sariah's screams. "That's Sariah." He looked down at Artemis. "Stay here." He said and ran as fast as he could towards Sariah.

Sariah was stumbling through the woods, still chasing after the wolf.

Artemis tried to grab him and stop him but he was too fast and strong "james!" no no no no, not again. She couldn't lose him. She chased after him

((I don't want to go to far because we sorta need lark..))

James easily caught up with Lark.

Sariah tripped over a tree root, falling to the ground, tears pouring down her face as wolves began to surround her. "COLTON!" she screamed, fighting to stand.

(kk, we can stop here)
Artemis collided into james and clung to him, tears of worry streaming down her face

((0.o))

Lark started running no thoughts able to register in his mind. Colton ...Sariah ..... he ran towards the screaming, barely noticing James.

James looked down at Artemis, torn. "Stay here." He murmered. "I have to go get my sister." He gently pulled away from her, and then ran after Lark.

"Sariah!" Lark screamee running through the trees.

Sariah was curled in a ball, sobbing, the wolves advancing on her. The only things able to come out of her mouth were Colton's name and the repeated "my baby is gone."

Lark finally found her and flung himself between her and the wolves. He wouldn't lose both of them.

James found them both, and moved, standint beside Lark. "Tell me you got a hammer or something." he said as the wolves continued to close in.

Lark stared lifelessly at the wolves. Then silently handed James a small dagger.

Artemis- :O

"Get Sariah." James muttered as he took the dagger. "And take her back to camp as soon as you have an opening." Sariah's body was shaking with sobs, curled in on herself.

A wolf lept at them and James caught it by the fur and shoved it back, the dagger slicing through it's chest as he did so.

Artemis scrambled forward, not able to stand the apprehension any longer "James!" she screamed, spotting him

Lark pulled Sariah close. Trying to find an opening in the ring of wolves forming around them.

((Sighs* Gto again.))

((awe ok))

James growled as another wolf jumped at them, he threw it, hitting two more wolves. "Run!" he growled, the opening where the wolves had been starting to close.

"James!" Artemis screamed again, stopping short in place, not sure what to do

Holding Sariah in his arms Lark darted between the wolves, if it came down to it he would protect her with his life. That thought was clear in his mind as he wrapped himself around her as he ran.

James growled as he followed, sweeping up Artemis as they ran back towards the tents. "NO!" Sariah screamed, reaching back behind Lark desperately. "COLTON!"

dear god.
Artemis clung to james, tears streaming down her face.

In the days that followed, Sariah refused to come from her tent. Refused to uncurl from the small ball she was curled into on her bed, under the covers. She refused to eat, or speak. The most you could ever get out of her was a blank stare, followed by tears.

James had taken special measures to always be near Artemis as the village packed up. It obviously wasn't even safe during the warm months.

Lark sat next to her on the bed, the only break from his lifeless looks were worried glances at Sariah. He didn't know what to do. It seemed like he was caught in a nightmare and couldn't wake up.

Artemis 'umphed' as she closed the last chest of their belongs and sat on it, cradling her stomach "there, all packed" she smiled
