Regina In Revenge

𝚂𝙴𝚅𝙴𝙽

ARTEMIS'S POV.

This week has gone pretty good. I've had nightmares once or twice. The diffuser Giovanni gave me helped a lot. He checks on me every night before sleeping and after I wake up. I take the pills sometimes, and he doesn't know about it. 

The time right now? He he he... 1:30 in the morning. Yeah, baby insomnia is back. Tired of rolling on the bed I roam in my room and eventually step out of it. The second floor is massive. It includes a massive game room, 3 guest rooms along with 6 bedroom of me and my siblings. It had a ceiling length window on the end of the hallway and staircase running on the other end just above the elevator. The moon light peeking through the window dimly lighted the whole gallery. I roam around in the hallway with my blanket, like a ghost. I was roaming around when I hear a loud bang rebervate through the entire floor. I started having flashbacks of things I didn't want to.

"Mom did you hear-" I say, and don't find her.

The next thing I know, I am sitting on the ground, my knees pushing into my body.

GIOVANNI'S POV.

I jerk up from my sleep as I hear a sound bang outside my room. I've reminded Demitri to use a silencer when using a gun. I am a very light sleeper. I think about Artemis and soon find myself walking my way to the door.

I open my door and walk straight into her room. To my surprise, she wasn't in bed. The light of her washroom was off. I speed walked out of her room and look around. Thats when I see something that broke my heart into a million pieces.

I run towards the figure who was at the end of the hallway, shaking. I quickly crouch down at the figures level. She had her head bent in between her knees and was rocking back and forth. Her blanket over her shoulders.

"Artemis..." I softly cooed. She looked up. The sight was dreadful. Her eyes were bloodshot, streams of tears flowing from her eyes, her breathing was rapid and heavy, she was quivering. It was like she couldn't breath.

"Artemis... I'm here baby... Nothing is going to happen to you. You are safe." I tried calming her down.

"Artemis... Look at me... Breath...." I say and place her hand on my chest. "Do like I do" a take in a deep breath, in and out.

After a while her breathing returned to normal. But she was still trembling in fear.

Oh Demitri, you are so done now.

I lift her up in my arms. She tightly wraps her tiny arms around my neck and her legs around my torso. She digs her head deep into th crook of my neck. I carry her a walk towards my room.

As I reach my room, my eyes fall upon the person I didn't want to see at the moment.

There was Demitri climbing up the stairs, his white shirt having a blots of red ink on them and also on his face. He walked towards me with a blank expression which soon turned into confusion as he saw what is was carrying, more like who.

"What happened?" He whispered looking at a still trembling Artemis. He then looked over my shoulder and more confusion clouded his face.

DEMITRI'S POV.

I climb up the staircase after taking care of a 'job'. I look up to see Giovanni walking towards his room, carrying something. What is he doing up so late? I realised it wasn't something, but someone he was carrying. And that someone was none other than our sister. I notice her trembling figure wrapped around Giovanni who looked like he would kick my ass if it weren't for Artemis in his arms.
