Book 2: Beacon Hills: War [ Teen Wolf ]

Truth Unfold

Artemis put her gun back into her holster and hugged Damion tightly. He didn't hug her back, was he glad to see her? Yes. Did he want a relationship with her? Of course. But she left him, and he wanted to know why.
"I'm not here for you. I'm here for Amara. The other kid you left. Remember her?" He asked coldly. Artemis stepped back and looked away from him.
"Oh, now you can't look at me."
"I did it for the both of you, you don't understand, Damion."
"Then maybe you can explain it to us."
Raphael said from behind Damion. Artemis looked over his should to see Raphael. "Raphael?" He sighed and chuckled. "It's been awhile Artemis. Thought you were dead." Artemis tilted her head and shook it.
"I had to make people think that. After what happened."
"What did happen?"
Scott asked crossing his arms.
"I'm sorry who are you?"
"Scott McCall his son."
He said pointing to Raphael.
"Hm. Nice to meet you. I'm Artemis Rugaru his mother." She said obviously returning the sarcasm. "...Why did you give us away?"
"When I had you some of my power left me, it left me weaker, and made you stronger. Same thing with Amara. But she was different, it was like all the DNA that I shared in my family down to our ancestors, every form of supernatural creature that was in our family her DNA grabbed hold, including mine.
Damion I had a lot of enemies over the years and if they had found out I was at my weakest and that I had two babies. They would have taken you away from me. Or worse...killed you." She said her voice finally cracking. "I gave you up to protect you, not because I wanted to, because I had to. I'm sorry." Damion' eyes started to tear up, he understood why she did it but, she could have came back for them. "Damion say something." She begged.
"Amara will be dead if we don't save her, we need your help." He said flatly, no emotion anywhere in his voice. Artemis sighed, she knew he was angry at her but she just really hope he gives her a chance. "...okay. I'll help you."
They went back to Scott' house and Artemis walked in looking around. "Nice home." She told Scott. "Thank you." Stiles and Lydia came from the living room and saw the woman who was wearing a leather body suit and gun hoster, knives strapped to her thighs with a long over coat. "Has any ever told you you look like a female blade?" Stiles said jokingly as Lydia nudge his shoulder. "Hi, I'm Lydia. You must be Artemis Rugaru." Lydia gave a polite smile, Artemis returned the smile and looked at everyone. "How do we get my daughter back?" They told her the plan and she agreed. Artemis walked out and Raphael followed after her, he looked around and couldn't find her. "Looking for me?" A voice spoke from above. He looked up to see her sitting on the roof.

She stood up and took a step off the edge of the roof dropped down to the ground and Raphael just chuckled and shook his head. "I will most likely never get used to this world." Artemis laughed and looked up at him, he put his hand on her cheek and looked into her eyes. Artemis knew what he was doing, she wanted the same thing but she remembered what he did to her. She put her hand over his and gently took his hand away. "I can't just forget what you did. Besides I'm here for my children...not you." Raphael sighed and nodded, backing away. Artemis went back inside.
In the tunnels Amara was laying on the couch, her head resting on Jeremy lap. He was combing through her hair. Amara and Jeremy have known each other for years. He knows everything about her, and she knows everything about him. There was no way they could live without each other. Amara was in a deep sleep, in her dream she was in the school she was terrified. She walked down the dark hallway, only her steps to be heard breaking the silence in the air. Just then she hears another set of footsteps, she looked in front of her to see a shadow coming from the other side of the hallway. She went into a stance her eyes turning to their rainbow color, as her claws grew out, and so did her fangs. A another person came from around the corner but she couldn't see who it was. "Who are you?!" She yelled out getting ready for a fight, just then the person came into the light that was coming from outside.
It was her. Amara. Another Amara.
