《The Final Project》Chapter 51

"Ow!" I sit on Liam's bed as he applies ointment. The cut is deeper than I anticipated, and hurts a hell of a lot more too.
"Stay still," he instructs. My wrist is tight in his hold, giving me no room to wince or breakaway. I watch his furrowed brows, his eyes steady on the wound. Once he gets to the knife's impact point, it takes everything in me not to scream.
"You know," he continues to talk while lathering my finger. "I didn't know you can't cut an onion." He shakes his head in disappointment, amusement seeping through his face. He's trying to distract me from the stinging.
"I didn't know you had a girlfriend either, Liam, so I guess we learn something new everyday." He looks up at me, his brows furrowed as he starts to wrap my cut in a bandage.
"Who said I have a girlfriend?"
"You did. Last night." And you lied about it to let me down easy.
"Oh..." He quickly finishes wrapping my finger, suddenly fidgety. I stare at him, and he kinda looks away. "I didn't mean I have a girlfriend," he says. "I just, you know...."
"What are you saying?"
"I meant I've been with girls, but not like, as girlfriends." Oh. Oh. "I didn't wanna lie or anything-"
"Wait, wait." I get up, now incredibly embarrassed, my cheeks burning. "Sorry, I uh, I shouldn't have asked that. I need to go now, if you can drive me home." Before he responds, I leave his room, and walk downstairs.
Idiot. Idiot. Idiot. "Ava!" Jason's voice calls for me from the couch. I sit beside him, and he knows something's off right away. "Why're you so...red?" he asks.

"Cause I just made a fool out of myself." I pinch my eyes shut, shaking my head at the same time.
"What happened?" He laughs while patting my back in sympathy.
"Don't wanna talk about it."
We sit in silence before I hear another voice. "If you guys are done canoodling..." Liam says. "I really don't have all day." His jaw is tense, and his brows furrowed.
"What about my lasagna?" Jason shouts as I get outside.
"I'll try it-" Slam. "...Next time." Liam slams the door shut before I can finish speaking. "Will it kill you to be nice?" I ask as we walk through the apartment parking lot. He's in front of me now, and putting my bag into the car.
His eyes look dead into mine, and he says, "It's killed me once before."

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.
