I hated the blood. I hated the smell. I hated the sparring and fighting that my "job" entailed me to do. But it was normal for me. Well, when they ordered me too. Like the good little recruit I was. I sighed bitterly and looked at the dead hell-hound. I wiped the blood off on the blue midnight dress that was already ruined. I saw the mortals poking their heads out of their windows, just figuring I was a mad harlot that just got out of a scuffle. They didn't care. I sheathed my dagger under my petticoat as I sighed bitterly. I had always hated what I was, my monstrous side that put me in this life of servitude. I just shook my head and walked down the lonely streets of Boston. I smirked at the thought of my sister. She would die when she heard- I was suddenly pulled from behind. A cold hand locked around my throat, pinned my hands to my side, and with great strength pulled me into an abandoned store. I struggled with the fast pace of my attacker and cursed myself for being too slow. I kneed his shins hard. . But he was faster. He was not human. No normal mortal man could match my strength. I was just as strong as mortal man. This one was stronger. The masked man held my wrist with a tight grip and I went for my dagger. . His arm snaked around my waist as his hip pinned my body against the wall. "Who the hell are you!" I spat as I felt the attacker's hand go under my petticoats. My eyes widened as I felt his cool hand touch my thigh. I screamed and spat at him. "What the HELL are you doing-" "Always the language, Spade. What would Mary say?" His voice. My breath stilled as his hand yanked my dagger out from its sheath and his hand returned with my stained dagger in his hands. My heart sped up as my skin felt heated again. His body was pressed against mine tightly. "Beck," I gasped out as a smile crept up on his masked face. "No names, luv."

Artemis

"Let them go, Dante." I whip my head to see a small boy standing the clearing with blonde hair and a green cloak hanging from shoulders. He isn't very tall however he holds his stance well. He doesn't seem to be more than Cassandra's age. Maybe 12 at most. I abruptly turn my head back hearing the man holding a sword to my throat chuckling with a sinister grin. "Oh, poor boy, what are you go to do about it?" The yellow teeth gleam as he begins stalking towards the boy who does not look the least bit fazed. I look around at the other men who are following the leader. I pull Cassandra tighter to my back as I take small steps back. I keep my eye trained on the men but also fear for the naive boy. "Do you really want to test me Dante?" He asks raising a single eyebrow. For a minute the men stop their movements. I see their hesitation for fear... Fear of what? I take the moment to stick Cassandra behind a nearby tree. She crouches down while I pull my sword out from its place. "How do you know my name?" The scoundrel raises his sword challenging towards the boy before taking a final step towards him. Then the unexpected happens. The young boy chuckles so darkly. It sounded almost... demonic. All the men instinctively raise their swords. "Oh Dante, I didn't know your name... but you know someone dear to me." "Spit it out boy!" The once grinning man is now looking around frantically. I continue my eyes scanning the small boy. He looks directly me and gives me a small nod before saying one word that caused all hell to breaks loose. "Artemis." Artemis is not an ordinary girl. She grew up in the wilderness after being shunned due to unique abilities and her different physical attributes. Blessed with an ability that scared others, she roams the wild with only her guarded one. That is until she stumbles into a situation that brings her in front of a prince.
