Sunlit Moon (Varian x OC. Complete! [sequel cancelled for now.])

Fever dreams.

So, A received a request on FanFic.net to write more custom chapters and this sort of spawned from that, and I apologize if it seems a bit all over the place, but it's got some cute moments, some angst and some fluff all rolled into one chapter, so i hope you enjoy!

A/N: Trigger warnings! Mentions of psychological and physical abuse!

"Artemis, sweetheart, it's time to get up." Blue eyes struggled to open as the blonde rolled over in bed, "who...?" the woman staring down at her had pale hair, much like her own, and such vibrant blue eyes, was this Freya?

"Sweetheart, you're going to be late for school." School?

"School?"

"Don't you remember? Today's your first day at Corona Prep. I laid out your uniform, it's on the door." Her eyes trailed to something hanging on the door, "Uniform?"

"Come on, Artemis, I know moving can be difficult but sometimes you just have to deal." Artemis watched the woman leave, "What is going on?" she looked around the room and panic started to set in,

"This isn't my room!" she darted around, the beige walls and the color scheme was all wrong, where were the white marble walls of the palace, the pale purple floor? Skidding to a halt she looked in the full-length mirror and let out a terrified scream, why were both of her eyes blue, and had her hair grown back over night?

"Oh no. no, no, no, no, no!" she tugged at her hair, something was definitely wrong.

Taking the uniform off the door she took in it's appearance, A soft lilac purple skirt with gold trim with a vest to match, a white dress shirt and a deep purple tie to finish the ensemble.

"Artemis, Hurry up! Eugene is here to bring you to school."

"Eugene!" at least she wouldn't be the only one who felt like something was off, here. "Maybe he can tell me what's going on here." She gave the uniform one last apprehensive look and got dressed.

"Hey, Kid." She felt a small sense of familiarity as Eugene ruffled her hair, "No fancy braids today?"

"What?" did she do something wrong?

"I don't know, you just usually always have something done with your hair."

'I guess I just didn't feel like it."

"Hey, I know break up's are hard but—" Artemis stopped, looking at the contraption in front of her, the word 'car' echoed somewhere in the back of her mind as she opened the passenger side door.

"Break up's? who broke up?"

"You and that boy...Will?" Who the hell was Will? A sudden memory flashed of her with a boy, they were laughing abut something, "If you ask me, you could do better, way better."

"Remind me what happened?"

"He was abusing you." Abuse...she vaguely remembered some arguments, but she didn't remember...

"He's actually why you guys finally made the move to Corona. You weren't yourself anymore, Artemis. We started to worry. Dad and Freya were terrified."

"You were all worried about me?" Despite not having any clue as to how she wound up in this strange, futuristic universe, at least she had her whole family here.

As the car sped down the street, Artemis watched as the trees flew past at incredible speeds.

"I walked in on you two having an argument once, you know. He had been mad at you for some absurd reason that even I can't fathom, but the second he hit you, dad and I stepped in and told him to leave. The police were called and everything. I know starting at a new school can suck, but look at this way, maybe you'll find a new special someone."
