It was the day your sister scheduled to leave. You two decided to spend all day together no matter what anyone said and Momma just let that happen. You were assigned to do laundry with Anna, but you washed dishes with your twin instead. She said as long as you had a replacement it was fine, so you begged Ray to be your replacement. At first he said no and walked away, but you convinced him after you negotiated with him. You traded off your headphones and mp3 for the day, but it was worth every second that you could spend with Artemis.

"What happened to your headphones?" She asked as we got outside.

"... traded them for the day. Don't worry about it"

"Hmm~"

"Why are we out here so early?" You ask as she pulls you into the forest.

" I want to show you a secret~"

"Stop dragging out your words!"

"But (n/n)~"

"You're lucky I love you"

"Aww I love you too!"

"STOP! Just show me the secret" you say while getting embarrassed.

"You promise you won't tell momma we went here right"

"Promise" she then took you past the fence momma said not to cross. It wasn't that high, so you had no trouble getting over it. She kept leading you through the remainder of the forest until you met a wall.

"Voila~" she said while showing it off.

"Why is there a wall in a forest?"

"To keep dangerous animals out of course, but that's not why I brought you here."

"Then why did you bring us here?" You asked her curiously. You tilted your head slightly as you watched her climb a tree. " what are you doing?"

"I'm looking for something specific!" She said with half her arm inside a tree hole. "Got it!" She came back down to meet you and placed it in your hand.

"What is this for?" You said as you felt the cold metal object in your hand? "Wait, no where did you even get this from!"

"The kitchen... Sister Krone left it out at night. Then BAM, mine." She said as we walked along the wall. She drug her fingertips against the smooth stone as you two walked. After about a minute she paused. "This is the spot." She whispered.

"What spot?"

"Gosh! Why do you forget everything." She groaned as she dust of stone wall. She showed you a small carving of a heart with four names in the center. "Do you remember now?"

Flashback

The four of you were in the kitchen well past your bed time, but momma never noticed. Terrance was shuffling through the drawers looking for something as Akko grabbed a matchbox. They seemed pretty determined to do this tonight despite you and Artemis being tired. They said it was urgent and it couldn't wait.

"What are you looking for?" You asked as you popped up behind the 11 year old boy.

"Well aren't you curious. It's a surprise anyways" he said as he kneeled down in front of you.
