White Sands {Hunter}

[Artemis Saggezza]

--Artemis sat under the stars, at midnight, on the white sands of Fairfield beach. Her feet were in the water, and she stared out at the dark abyss that was the ocean. She felt so small, and so at peace, for the first time that night.--

--Her and her parents had gotten into a huge fight that night, and she'd run away. This was where she went, when things got bad. she just sat there, watchign the shadow of the waves.--

--She mused about the nights events, and her eyes welled up with tears. not able to fight it, a single tear ran down her cheek, landing on the white sand beside her....--

Hunter had called Art's house, and he was told that, they had gottne into a fight, her and her parents, that all he need to hear.He knew where she was, it was easy. The beach. Art loves the beach, well to cool down and think that is. Well at least he hoped she was here.

He came spirting down the road, of course a car would of made sense but , he wasn't thinking, he never thinks when Artremis isn't home. "Artremis Isis Selene Marie Saggezza!" he said as she slide, down to the water where she was, and with in second her engulfed her in his arms " don't ever scare me like that again" he said as she kissed the top of his head. "Got it missy!" He said with a smile.

Finally realizeing she was started to cry,well vaguely but, she could start balling. "Artremis? are you okay baby?" He said pulling her away form his chest and place his hands on her shoulder holding her about a arms length away. "Artremis Is---" he stopped himself fomr saying her full name again it was quiet a mouth full " Artremis Talk to me ? what did they do?!" he demanded answers.

You knew it was bad when Art,Miss I can Rought it, I am tough then you think started to cry.

--Hunter knew everything about Artemis, and her family. They were insepeareble. He knew her deepest darkest secrets, and before tonight, he was the only was who knew the worst. She subconciously rubbed her wrist, not paying attention to it. She pushed up her sleeve to show him. In the moonlight, her wrist lit up, scars and cuts all over. This was nothing new, he'd seen it before, it was slightly worse, but not much. There was however, a new addition. A very large, hand shaped bruise. That wasn't the only buise on her body, the rest were just convinently located in places that were not easily seen.--

--She looked down, to see how bad they had gotten, and shuddered, tears still flowing down her face...--

Shaking with pain, and fear, she spoke. "He found out...." she whispered, referring to her father. She looked up at Hunter, still shaking...."I can't do this anymore. I can't go back there..." she said trying not to throw up....."I cannot live like this...."

He looked down upon those cuts. Nothing new he thought, before he scanned down her arm. Black and blue bruise stood out, with the him of the moonlight. He was speeche less. But he had to say something. She was shaking in pain.

He wanted to rip Arty's Father apart limb by limb, but he couldn't, the only father figure that came close to a real father was him.

" You're not going back.." He said as he brought her into his warm caring embrace." You are coming to saty at my place." He said as he kissed her forehead. that was all her could do. Was give her a place to stay. He couldn't go yell and make a scene, for two reason, the first one was Arty and the secong one was because he was like a father figure to him.And he couldn't do it.

--Artemis sat in his arms, shaking, tears running down her face. She never wanted to leave this spot She didnt' know of anyone better to comfort her, than him. She laid her head on his chest, and sighed deeply. She could feel his heart beat. she smiled slightly. She went over the nights events in her head momentarily, but soon realized she couldn't bare it. She shook her head slightly to clear her thoughts. She swallowed, forcing herself to stop crying.--

"I can't....." she whispered...."He'll find me." she said, her voice shaky. It was takign all her control to keep from breaking down....."He'll know where I went....." she pulled him closer, just needing to be held
