Edited by Stitch: 11/12/2016 7:10:45 PM[i]Sasha just presses Artemis between her assets even harder as she laughs uncontrollably.[/i] [b]Sasha: [/b]"Are you joking?! This is hilarious!" [i]Artemis manages to slip out of Sasha's grip and starts to breathe heavily with a red face. Artemis shoves the laughing Sasha playfully.[/i] [b]Artemis: [/b]"Big sisters shouldn't smother their sister with their over sized breasts!" [b]Sasha:[/b] "Oh, you're only calling them over sized because you're flat."
-
[b]I was... Confused. Why the hell were they talking about breasts? I mean, I don't know why they were comparing. Never understood that about young women. Why did it matter?[/b] "Yeah, I'm just gonna let you guys do... Whatever that was, I'm scooting over here." [b]And that's what I did. I scooter away from them a bit.[/b]
-
[i]Sasha rolls her eyes.[/i] [b]Sasha:[/b] "The old man doesn't understand." [b]Artemis: [/b]"I guess he doesn't like breasts." [i]The two laugh at this. Sasha then gestures Grant back over.[/i] [b] Sasha: [/b]"It's okay, Grant. We're done with the girl talk."
-
"Good. Never understood why you youngins always compared that shit. Hell, no older women I've met remember." [b]I scoot back over.[/b] "Just so you know, now that you're both gonna stay, your under my protection. Not NCR. Not Dojo. You're under mine. It's a special brand of protection. It mostly involves kicking the ever loving shit out of people that make you mad."
-
[i]Sasha growls at Grant.[/i] [b]Sasha:[/b] "What makes you think I need protection?! I'm a great sister! I can protect Artemis just fine!" [i]Artemis sighs and pats Sasha's head.[/i] [b] Artemis: [/b]"You should probably make it out to be more of an alliance or something. Sasha has too much pride." [b]Sasha: [/b]"I do not!"
-
"Heh. Again, special brand of protection. It's more cooperation than protection. And Artemis you might wanna help her with that. I noticed when we were running here."
-
[i]Sasha gasps.[/i] [b]Sasha: [/b]"I don't have anything she needs to help me with!" [i]Artemis scratches the back of one of Sasha's ears. Sasha begins to pant with her tongue sticking out, she seems to be enjoying it.[/i] [b]Artemis:[/b] "Will do, Grant. Will do."
-
"Heh. Good. C'mon, let's go get you guys some rooms." [b]I get up, putting my helmet on.[/b]
-
[i]Sasha picks up the still hurt Artemis.[/i] Sasha: "Nah, we have to get her to the spring at the top of the mountain. It'll heal the wounds from her father's claymore."
-
"Let's do that then. Lead the way."
-
[i]Sasha placed Artemis on her back as she transforms into a wolf and runs towards the den.[/i]

[i]Sasha runs off with energy and a skip in her step.[/i]
-
"Um...yeah, there's a problem with that...You see...um...what's the proper word...the portal's pretty much blocked off by boulders the size of a entire bus. I don't really think you could come back without taking years to dig all of it out." Keira replied, somberness on her face.
-
[i]Artemis makes it to the door.[/i] "There's emergency entrances and exits. They'll be looking for me, I should go. Goodbye." [i]Artemis opens the door and takes a step out.[/i]
-
"Hey, wait up!" She yells, running after Artemis, eventually touching her shoulder.
-
[i]Artemis stops and pushes her hand away.[/i] "I'm sorry, but I must be going."
-
"Well then you'd be a runt in life. Don't you want to be more than that. Be the best there could be in that clan?" Keira says, continuing to follow Artemis.
-
[i]Artemis had already stopped walking. She nods slowly.[/i] "Yes, but sadly that's never going to happen because of my inability to...y'know..."
-
"That still doesn't mean that your bad. So what if you can't breed your kind; you could still make hybrids." Keira replies, shrugging a little bit before continuing, "Maybe you could find your true love here at the Dojo; and defy whatever 'code' you apparently had."
-
[i]Artemis starts to cry as she shakes her head.[/i] "It's not just about finding a mate, it's about not being able to transform. I may have been the best fighter when I was younger, but without the ability to transform I'm only worthy of being a runt. I can't live without my clan and I can't turn my back on the code."
-
"Then do what all of us had to do at one point of another; defy fate, defy those chains of destiny; you could do whatever you want. This code will only stop you from unleashing your true potential." Keira responds, smiling a little bit.
-
[i]Artemis turns around and looks you in the eyes while tears streak down her face. She seems to be getting frustrated, whether it's at you or herself or something else entirely she seemed conflicted.[/i] "I can't be anything I want! I have no potential! I'm just a worthless runt! I can't you get that?! Life is not like the stories you tell the lil' ones! it doesn't always end the way you want it! I was cursed with the inability to become a wolf and I have to live with that!" [i]Artemis collapses onto her knees, her crying becoming intense.[/i]
-
*She ends up looking at her with a bit of pity, before a memory flashed before Keira's eyes.* "You think being a runt is bad?" She says, tears crawling across her own face. "Try being one of the only sole survivors of your only world. Your code...it's nothing compared to seeing 7.3 billion people die before your eyes. Those people...they'll kill you. They brainwashed you into thinking that you have no potential. We could see it. Most of the Dojo could see it...you just can't see it yet." She responds, tears beginning to draw across her face.
-
[i]Artemis shakes her head. She seems to be getting angrier.[/i] "You've lost your people so you know the pain, but you still want me to lose mine?! They haven't brainwashed me, they're my family! I know as a fact I have no potential! I'll amount to nothing, I am nothing, I was nothing, and that will always be true! I love my clan! I'm happy that even though I'm such a failure I can still contribute by doing the most disgusting and unpleasant of jobs! I'm happy! I'm happy! I'm...happy..."
