Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Artemis' P.O.V

"Mr. Scott, I think you should fire that Victorian girl. I don't trust her. She could be the one working with the spy." I heard someone say as I walked up to Jermey's office. I recognized the person as Don, a beginner who for some reason seems to hate me.

"What do you suggest we do Don? Tell me, what makes you think she's the mole?" Jeremy asked with a hint of amusement in his voice. I quietly walked up to the door, which was left open, and leaned against the wall.

"It's just a gut feelin' sir. I don't trust her." Don said.

"So you want me to fire one of the best assassins just cuz you got a lil gut feeling Don? I mean that gut feelin' could just be indigestion." Jeremy said with a very intimidating raise of the eyebrow.

"Yes sir. N-no sir. I don't know sir." Don stuttered. A bearly noticeable smile came on Jeremy's lips showing that he noticed me.

"Then what do you suggest we do? How should we get rid of her" Jeremy asked again.

"I think you should question her sir. Then I think you should keep and eye on her. I can do it for you." Don said with a confident look on his face. I then decided to make an appearance.

"I think that's a good idea Don. Go ahead. Question me. Use a lie detector if you want. Do anything you must but just hurry it up. I don't have all day." I said stepping away from the wall. Don's eyes widened when he saw me. He almost looked pale.

"Well go ahead Don. Red is right there. You did say you'd do it for me." Jeremy said looking at him with amusement.

"I-I forgot I was g-gonna go do somethin'." Don stuttered quickly rushing out of the room almost knocking his chair over in the process. I looked at Jeremy who chuckled.

"I'm gonna ask Sonia to keep an eye on him." Jeremy said shaking his head. Sonia was one of the top assassins along with me and Raven. We are all good friends.

"As for you Artemis, I have a mission for you." Jeremy said. "The alpha of the Blue moon pack is planning to attack the Obscura Luna pack."

"If people reckless greedy people wants to commit suicide that has nothing to do with me. Everyone knows the Obscura luna pack is the strongest pack. They're practically asking for death to pay them a visit." I said.

"Or they might just win." Jeremy said.

"What do you mean Jeremy? Alpha Mark is a coward who treats his pack like shit and sends the die to fulfill his greed." I said angry by the way how he treats his pack members.

"Well a few days ago I sent Sonia over there to check it out. She said all the people seemed quiet and to themselves which is expected with an alpha like Mark. She said the alpha was spotted at the border talking to some people dressed in black cloaks with their entire face covered. She tried to catch a scent but it was covered. He called them the Mysticis." My eyes widened at this information.

"Do you think...." I trailed off. Jeremy knows all about what happened to my pack. Almost a year after my pack was destroyed he found and helped me through a problem with another pack.

"Yes. I think they're the same group that attacked your pack."

"We can't let them destroy that pack." I said having my really cringy hero moment.

"That's why you have to go to the Obscura luna pack to warn them. You've faced the Mysticis before so maybe you can give them a rundown of what they're gonna be up against." Jeremy said.

"That's my mission?" I asked giving him an are you shitting me look. "To warn people? That's it? Plus you say I've been up against these Mysticis creatures as if I know how to kill one" I said rolling my eye

"Yh technically all you have to do is tell them what's to come." Jeremy said looking down at a stack of papers.

"No." As I said that Jeremy looked up at me.

"And why not?" Jeremy asked with a raise of the eyebrow.

"I'm not going to a pack to just warn them about what's lurking at their borders. What if I do and these Mysticis bitches still destroy that pack. I have to help them." I can't just warn them of what they are up against. Not when I can help. Plus I wanna have my hero moment.

"Ok do what you need to do." Jeremy said. "Oh, and you sound sappy by the way." He added with a chuckle.

"Never speak of this!" I warned him.

"Ok! Ok! I won't. Oh and you're leaving tomorrow so bring the little devil over to my place." I looked at Jeremy with an eyebrow raised.

"Angel. I meant angel." Jeremy said laughing nervously.

"That's what I thought." I said walking away. Deciding to just go home since I have nothing else to do I started my bike and hopped on it.

As soon as I reached home I heard little feet running before something crashed into me. "Mommy!" K.C said lifting her arms so she could be picked up.

"Hey sweetie pie. Are you sleepy?" I asked as I picked her up.

"I did everything else but the kid just won't sleep untill you come." Raven said walking into the room.

"Thanks so much for looking after her Rav. Ion't know what I'd do without you."

"Don't mention it. She's cute never shut up about this cartoon she watched though. Also I left some pasta in the fridge for you if you want any. Imma head out." Raven said walking through the front door before I could say anything.

"Come on K.C, let's get you some sleep." I said deciding to just eat tomorrow. "I'm bringing you over to uncle Jeremy tomorrow. Do you wanna sleep with mommy."

She nodded sleepily. "Are you gonna be gone for long mommy?" Even tho she's just 3 I'm convinced that she's smarter than me.

"That depends on how long it takes for mommy to beat the bad guys." I said walking to my room with her.

"Are you gonna kick their asses?" K.C asked causing me to gasp.

"Were did you learn that word miss?" I said as I got in bed with her.

"I heard auntie Raven say it." She said yawning.

"Hopefully." I said referring to the question she asked earlier only to realize that she's already asleep.

Obscura luna pack better be ready for me. I thought as I drifted off to sleep.
