"Destiny!" she yelled at me. "Mom!" I yelled back at her daring her to challenge back. She gave me a death glare as she circled me. "Why you? Why couldn't Carrie be here?" She spat out. My heart clenched in pain. She always loved my older sister Carrie more but like i said she chose her mate over us, her own family. "She chose her mate over us mother can you not remember?" I tolled her. She sighed out. "I already know Destiny" She walked up to me and started to fix my hair. "I cant do this again mother" I murmured out. Next thing i know was i was on the ground gripping my left check as a stinging sensation spread across my check. "DESTINY! DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT AGAIN! YOU ARE A PRINCESS! THE MOST RESPECTED AND TREASURED ONE OF THEM ALL! GIRLS WOULD KILL TO LIVE YOUR LIFE!" She roared out as she griped my hand and pulled me off the ground. Tears streamed down my face as i looked at my feet. "Im sorry mother" I whispered. She rested her hand under my cheek as she lifted my head up to look at her. So I looked at her in the eyes. "Don't you ever say or do anything. You cant change who you are or your status. Be happy" She said with a smile on her face. She gently took her thumb under my eye and wiped my tears away. "Your a princess. SO many girls want to be who you are." She whispered. She then left me alone in the ball room. I already knew what I would have to do.

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.
