Meet The Groom Part 2

Original Time Post: September 7th, 2015

Eddie: Wakey-wakey, Darling! (Eddie murmured softly, brushing the strands of hair off Artemis' face, as he noticed her twitching.) We have a long way to go. (Eddie said, pulling her up and tying her in the blood-splattered wooden bed.) You look very anxious, my love... I think maybe we should start by getting to know each other better, right? So... what's your name? (Eddie looked flustered but he cleared up in his next statement) Well, I know, I should have known your name...but you know that Murkoff did all this to me and I can't seem to remember anything.

Artemis: (She looked around the room after slowly opening her eyes and noticing Eddie.) Damn it... (She muttered as she tried to pull on her restraints, but it was no use. He then asked her for her name. She hesitated for a moment, but realize it wasn't a time to fight back while being at his mercy.) Artemis... (She gulped.)

Eddie: Artemis...? What a beautiful name, you have. Maybe you should be the one to name our children then. (Eddie smiled warmly, ignoring the petrified look on her face. Then his expressions suddenly changed and he asked,) Anyways, who is Miles? I heard you call his name once before you passed out... Who is this Miles? (Eddie's blood-shot eyes were gleaming with a sudden jealous rage.)

Artemis: (She widened her eyes when he said to name our children) Children...? Oh God no... (She thought until he said something else. When he mention the name Miles. She froze) Oh crap... (She pulled on her restrains on her wrists and let out a shaky breath) Miles? Oh...uh... (She bites her lip, trying to come up with an acceptable answer)

Eddie: Yes, who is this Miles, I ask! And what are these bruise marks you have everywhere, darling?! (Eddie spoke violently, his habit of judging at the tiniest of things taking place. He grabbed Artemis' arm and surveyed the deep cuts that he didn't knew were caused from her simply falling down or getting an injury. He glared at her angrily, before saying,) You need to have a bath and purify yourself to become my bride. If Miles is some psycho who dared to touch my love, I will kill him! I ask again, who is Miles!?

Artemis: (She hissed in pain as he grabbed a hold of her arm. She clenched her hands into fists as was saying about getting a bath and becoming his bride. When he got angier and saying that if Miles was hurting her, she shook her head and close her emerald eyes) Miles is my friend. He didn't do this to me!

Eddie: You mustn't be friends with someone like that. Miles must be like one of those vulgar wh*res that I hang! (Eddie spoke with a disgusted look on his face but calmed down in a moment as the though of his wedding struck him.) Darling, let's go have a bath together, shall we? (Excited, Eddie unfastened Artemis' ropes and picked her up into his arms, heading for the place he called 'bathroom'.)

Artemis: (As he unfasten the robes, she immediately started struggling against him) No! Please stop! (She begged as she soon thought of an idea that might change his mind) Eddie...(She gave out shaky breaths) We can't see each other naked before the wedding... (She couldn't believe she was saying this, but it was too keep her alive long enough, hopefully someone might save her) That's against the rules... We would be commuting sin if we did so and we don't want that, do we?

Eddie: Oh, Darling. You... you are the perfect woman with such good morals, just like my dear old mother! (Eddie smiled pleasantly, before adding,) But you must take a bath. I have a bathtub here around but there are other vulgar maniacs who could watch you take bath...and I cannot afford to risk that! I will be standing beside you... I promise I won't look until you are properly dressed! Now, let's go. (Picking up some newly stitched wedding gown, Eddie walked the way through various gloomy corridors reeking of gore while Artemis silently looked for places to hide and directions to escape.)

Artemis: (She practically sweat dropped at that and looked around. She noticed another air duct, but she knew Eddie would get her quickly if she jumped up in it. She turned her head another direction to see a room with an open door and she could have sworn she saw an air vent to the ground. She silently looked back Eddie, who was humming a cheerful tune. She hesitantly punched him in the face, causing him to drop her and she quickly got off the floor and ran as she heard him yelling curses behind her, but she was too fast for him. She made her way into the room and slammed the door shut as she hurried to crawl in the vent and far from his reach when she was fully in.)
