Artemis (HIATUS)

No More What If's

Artemis was helping Bonnie finish cleaning up, when Klaus entered the living room. He stopped and just watched his daughter for a few seconds. Before she stopped and looked at him, smiling a little Artemis suddenly flashed over to him. Surprising the both of them, but both parties hugged each other tightly. Letting go Klaus laid a kiss to her forehead, "I'm glad to see you're alright. Don't ever scare us like that again." He said before kissing her again, smiling Artemis excused herself and went up to her room.

"So out of necessity, those vengeful old bats have allowed Artemis to be a hybrid times two?" Asked Klaus rhetorically after being filled in, Bonnie just nodded while putting the last of the candles away. "I mean I'm happy they allowed her to live, but I hate that it was based off them knowing she would save the word." She said becoming angry, because this was the same stunt they use to pull with her. Hugging his wife Klaus, rested his chin on the top of her head. "Everything will be okay, we'll just have to train her before Leilani figures out Artemis is still alive."

Artemis was on her balcony, when she smelled Stefan standing at her door. Before he could knock she told him to come in, opening the door he hesitated before walking in. Standing beside her on the balcony, they silently enjoyed each other's company. Before Stefan can stop her, Artemis swung her feet over the railing. "I want to test out my new abilities, are you up for a little race to the waterfall?" Smiling Stefan copied her, and swung his feet over the railing.

As soon as he said yes, Artemis fell to the ground and began to run towards the waterfall. Smirking Stefan began to follow her, granted he gave her a major head start. When he thought she had gotten far enough, Stefan easily caught up and kept pace with her. Noticing him Artemis gritted her teeth, and pushed herself to move faster. Nearing the waterfall she pushed herself even more, but that didn't seem to work. As she saw Stefan standing by the edge, and before she could stop.

Artemis was barreling into him, causing them to fall into the water below. Spurting Artemis swam to the bank, and laughed when she looked over at Stefan. "Sorry I guess I need to learn how to stop," she said while pulling herself up onto the bank. Laying on her back Artemis, gazed up at the dark sky. "The stars are so beautiful, and yet so unaware of all the shit this world has going on."

Titling her head Artemis looked over at Stefan, "I wished the spirits, hadn't allowed me to live. Then Leilani wouldn't be this way, and especially Aunt Lucy would still be alive." Tears began to well up in her eyes, because it was the first time of vocally admitting it. Artemis' eyes grew wide, as Stefan hovered over her. "Listen Artemis. I know things are tough right now, but trust me don't play the what if game. It's not going to do anything for you, just know there are people who will fight for you." Stefan said while wiping the escaped tears, Artemis stared silently up at him.

Leaning up she kissed him softly, which he deepened by slipping his tongue between her lips. Wanting to taste more, Stefan began down to her neck while lifting up her shirt. Taking the fabric off he kissed between, the valley of her breasts. While his hands began to slide down her pants, Artemis suddenly stopped him and peered into his confused face.

"There's a time and place to be gentle, but now isn't it and trust me. I don't want this to be gentle." Looking surprised Stefan nodded, and switched tactics stripping them both bare. Hesitating slightly Stefan was brought back, when she bucked her hips. Hissing slightly he entered her roughly, causing Artemis to cry out in pain and pleasure. It took her a second to adjust to him, but when she was ready she began to move urging him to move as well.

An hour later the pair were walking out of the woods, when they were roughly separated. By an angered Klaus, gripping Stefan by the neck.  Growling loudly he threw Stefan, "how dare you take advantage of my daughter. We're supposed to be mates, and mates don't sleep with each other's daughters." Bellowed Klaus advancing towards him, coughing Stefan tried to get Klaus to stop. Yet his pleas fell on deaf ears, as Klaus used his full power to kick Stefan through a tree.

Having enough Artemis went, and stood in Klaus' path to stop him. "Listen dad, he didn't take advantage of me. I wanted it just as much as Stefan, besides he wasn't my first. So it's not like you're, saving my virginity or nothing." This confession got Klaus to halt his movement, instantly calming and becoming pale. "What?" He squeaked out in utter mortification, "well I'm saying I really like Stefan. And well..... I wanted to sleep with him. Plus we're both adults," stumbling over his words Klaus was at a lost.

The tension was suddenly broken, by Damon's loud laughter. Wiping a tear from his eye, he slapped his knee. "Oh man Jerry Springer has nothing on this, too bad I don't have popcorn." This caused Bonnie to finally crack up, she held on for so long. Yet the one comment from Damon, broke her seriousness. "Love please tell me you're not okay with this?" Asked Klaus glaring over at his wife, controlling her laughter she went over to him.

"Klaus, take it easy. Artemis is right she's an adult, and it's her decision to sleep with whom ever she wants to. Besides I couldn't be more happy, that it's Stefan and not someone else." Said Bonnie giving Damon a sideways glance, which got him to instantly stop laughing. "I'll have you know, I make great boyfriend material." Bonnie just gave him a look, expressing how ridiculously insane he sounded. Huffing Damon stormed off into the house, while Bonnie went over to a still stunned Klaus.

Mimicking her mother Artemis, went over to Stefan to see if he was alright. Helping him up she dusted, off the dirt and tree debris from him. "I'm sorry about that," she apologized while smiling up at him. "Not your fault, I get why he's so mad. I think if I were in his shoes, I'd act the same way as well." Laughed Stefan rubbing the back of his neck, laughing herself Artemis began to lead him back to the house.

Leilani was sitting in her darkened living room, cursing herself for listening to her father. She killed Artemis yet, there was no power transferred over to her. Pulling her hair out Leilani glared, at the darkened wall.  "There has to be a reason, why I didn't get her power?" She yelled into the room, wracking her brain Leilani then decided she would have to investigate.
