Suffer

Untold Truth

"I see that your up."

I turned to face Artemis. He watched me from the corner of his doorway. 

"Yeah, I'm up" I sighed.

I watched as he let out a small cough.

"Why weren't you at school?"

Instead of finding comfort in him being concerned about my education the question just pissed me off. I was in no mood to have another person acting like my parent figure. Ignoring him as I got up to look out the window. I was starting to suffocate in his room. 

A warm presence took over me. I felt the presence of Artemis now right behind. He pressed his body closer to me.

"I asked you a question" he softly whispered in my ear.

I remained silent as I listened to his deep, raspy voice. 

"It's rude to dismiss a question" he began.

"So?"

I felt as he slowly pressed his whole body onto me.

"Might I remind you this is my room. Do you know what I can do to you?"

"Do to me?" I questioned confused.

I jerked as he harshly bit down on my neck.

It finally dawned on me that he was suggesting something sexual.

"You wouldn't do it. You wouldn't touch me" I whispered.

"You're right, I am no monster," he said pulling away from me, walking over to his bed.

I let out a sigh of relief that I didn't even know I was holding. I turned to face him as he was now sitting on his bed.

"You should be careful" he spoke sternly to me.

"W-what?" I asked slightly clueless.

I watched as his face darkened "You shouldn't trust so easily, what if I had wanted to rape you?"

I suddenly felt uncomfortable looking away from him.

"You wouldn't do that" I whispered fidgeting with my shirt.

I heard as he stood up walking closer to me.

"Take off your clothes now" he commanded.

"W-what" I slowly lifted my head to look up at him. He had a cold look to him.

"Strip off your clothes" he repeated.

I looked at him shocked unable to say a word.

I felt a tug on my shirt as he attempted to remove my clothes.

"S-stop it!" I yelled.

He didn't stop as he completely ripped off my shirt.

"Artemis stop!" I now screamed. Before he could remove my bra I kicked him right in the shin.

"Fuck!" he yelled moving away from me.

I started crying as I fell to the ground.

Did you like that? he yelled at me.

 I couldn't answer him as I kept crying. 

Between sniffles, I yelled "No." 

I did not like that it. It was horrible. 

"People can't easily be trusted. You can't trust me for crying out loud, especially in the middle of my room. I could have easily taken advantage of you. You can't trust humans that easily. Don't be naive Raven!" He growled in a low voice.

 It was hard for me to listen to him as my sniffles made it hard for me to hear anything. 

I watched as his face softened. He walked away but returned with a shirt, tossing it to me. 

"Cover up with this" he whispered kneeling next to me.  

Slowly covering grabbing the shirt he tossed me I began removing my torn shirt.

It dawned on me that maybe the only reason he did what he did was to teach me a lesson that humans couldn't be easily trusted. I shouldn't easily trust him at any point in time. Anybody with half a brain could change their mind, they can say they trust you or you trust them but you never actually know until you're at your most vulnerable.

"Sorry for your shirt" he apologized looking at me sympathetically. 

His eyes didn't completely leave me as they trailed down my body. Most of my body was cover in bruises and cuts, I tried to cover myself as much as I could with his shirt as I did that he looked back at me into my eyes. It almost seemed like he wanted to ask a question but he didn't as he got up and left out the door.

I couldn't help but like it was my fault when Artemis left. I probably scared him off with all of my horrible cuts and bruises. They were all ugly and disgusting to look at. Undressing I traced over my body, something caught my eyes. Somethingwas sticking out of a bag on Artemis' bed. I needed to know what it was, what within his bag drew me in. I knew it was wrong to go looking through other's belongings but I didn't care at this point. Sitting down on his bed I opened his bag, a picture of that girl I meant early fell out. Nikita looked younger dressed in a school uniforms as she had toothless innocent grin to her, while in the picture Artemis looked dead on the outside, he had an expressionless air to him.

As I looked at the picture of him and the girl Nikita I couldn't help but feel a little bit jealous. I wonder if they were close and how close they truly were. I know I shouldn't be wondering about stuff that concerned with his past. I barely knew him, so why? Why was she in the picture with him? The more I wonder the more my body fought to keep consciousness. My head was starting to spin, I felt dizzy. I decided to look further into his bag because this was the only real reason I eas gonna find any answers on him. I quickly dropped the bag as I decided something shocking, dozens of pictures of me fell from his bag. Not just pictures of me but, pictures of my hair, a detail picture of my eyecolor even maps of where I've been. I mouth opened in horror as a picture of me in my own house fell to his ground. 

How did he know where I lived? I never told him where. I live never told him anything remotely up on my interest yet there was a picture of me sleeping in the library. A picture of me talking to Rose and her girls. There was even a picture of me in the principals office. Another picture of me sleeping but this time on his bed. There was a dozen more but I was beyond creeped out. I tried to quickly close the bag. Was Artemis stalking me? But none it made sense I was sure he hated me, okay maybe not hate but he definitely dislike me and showed no respect towards me.

Knock

"Hey are you okay?"

I almost jumped out of skin as I heard the voice of Artemis from the other side of the door. I needed to get the fuck out. I truly didn't know who this man was and I wasn't sure I wanted to know. 

Knock

"Raven?"

I wasn't sure what to do.
