Daughter of Darkness

the jar bumped him lightly on the mouth, making it clear they were for him. Artemis stared at him expectantly, not blinking

Mirissa continued till he was sleeping then smiled, pulling the blanket over him slightly as she rolled onto her side and went to sleep.

Tucker- sleeping

Damian looked at the peaches, the back at her. "Well, what about you? You gotta eat too." He said as he watched her. "If I eat some of them, with you eat some?"

Artemis stared at him for a long moment before sighing and giving a slow blink

Damian smiled and took a few good slurps of the peaches, then handed it over to her to eat.

Tucker jolted awake, a nightmare bringing him around. He looked around, his breathing quick and a little labored. He swallowed, taking a deep breath as he tried to slow his heart down and even out his breathing, then went back to watching the door.

Artemis took a tentative sip before the peaches went flying back over to him, bumping him lips lightly

Mirissa was still sleeping, a smile on her lips as one hand rested on her stomach, the other just curled up against her chest with some of the blanket in her fingers. "My hero." Her voice was whispered, covered in the thickness of sleep, but the words were clear as she continued dreaming. "Tucker."

Tucker winced at the words, running a hand through his hair. He frowned and shook his head. Why did she do this to him? Why was she torturing him like this? He wished she would just let it go and believe him.

Damian shook his head at the jar and looked at her. "Two more sips. You have to take two more if you want me to eat."

Artemis's eyes narrowed ever so slightly and the jar went flying back to her. She took to pointed sips and it went flying back to him.
She faked swallowing and skillful deposed of the food with the help of her abilities, making sure his mind thought she was doing one thing when she was doing the other

Mirissa

Damian sighed and took a few more sips from the jar, then set it down, not really wanting to eat any more than that. He looked at the dead gaurds on the forest floor around them and ran a hand through his hair. "We're gonna have to move again. Looks like they've found us." He murmered as his head rested against a tree.

Artemis sighed and looked around, the bodies flying away from her. She didn't want to see them anymore. Her eyes went slightly dead

Damian sighed as he watched her and picked up her book and began to read aloud to her.

Tucker stood and went into the kitchen to start making Mirissa another sandwhich.

Artemis blinked, the story bringing her back to. She wrapped her arms around herself, her chin resting on her knees, as she watched him.
Kale...

Damian finished the book, this being the second time he's read it to her, then stood, holding his hand out to her. "We should probably get moving before more of them find us," he murmered.

Artemis tentatively placed her hand in his and stood, showing that she agreed. but where would they go?

Damian sighed and took a deep breath as he noticed a small stream running through the small glade. He raised a brow, then looked at her. "Let's follow this, see where it leads to. Don't forget your stuff." He said as he walked slowly, his hand in hers, leading her up the stream.

The plant and book floated behind them, some water rising and lightly sprinkling the plant. She let him led her, looking around in awe. She had never seen the woods before, she had never really left the prison or house...

Damian walked with her, keeping his eyes open for anything that would harm Artemis. His eyes were getting dark circles under them from exuahstion, but he continued to press forward as the night turned into day, following the little stream.

Artemis staggered along, exhausted herself. She fell several time, her meager clothing mud covered and her legs scrapped and bleeding. She didn't stop though, just let him lead her along

After a about the fourth time of her falling, Damian stopped and picked her up, carrying her the rest of the way. He saw an abandoned house up ahead and he gave a small sigh of relief. "We'll stop there for a while."

Artemis didn't responded, her eyes drooping closed as her head rested against his chest. Every step he took she startled, her eyes flying open, before she relaxed and started the process all over again

Damian finally reached the house, stumbling inside and keeping a tight hold on her so he didn't drop her. He looked around, finding a room with a bed and sat her on the bed, covering her with a blanket before sinking to the floor infront of the bed and stared at the door, fighting to keep his eyes open.

Artemis reached out and soothed his mind, making him fall asleep before quickly following under, whimpering along with her dreams

Damian slept hard, though each time she whimpered he'd stir. His hand moved up onto the bed, holding hers as he slept, giving her hand a small squeeze each time she whimpered after that.
