Artemis P.O.V
I woke up to the sun shining in my eyes. Groaning, I roll over only to feel myself falling. I fell on the floor with a thud. Getting up I decided I might as well take a bath but then I stopped when I remembered I didn't bring any clothes with me.
'Ofcourse! Afterall I wasn't aware I was going on a permanent vacation.' I thought with a roll of my eye.
Taking a deep breath I went to the room next to mine and knocked on the door. Elijah opened the door giving me a "what?" look.
"I need clothes, underwear and toiletries." I said looking at him with annoyance written all over my face.
"Didn't you bring any clothes?" He asked confused.
I glared up at him. "Right! I so knew that I was supposed to pack clothes because I remember being told, 'hey bring your clothes cause you're gonna be staying on a permanent vacation!" I said sarcastically.
He glared at me. "Stay right here." He said sternly. I rolled my eyes. 'If I was to steal your stuff I would and you wouldn't even know.' I thought to myself.
"Here. There's toiletries in the bathroom in your room. I'll get someone to get you some clothes tomorrow." He said handing me a shirt and sweatpants.
"Thanks." I said walking back to my room.
I quickly took a bath and changed. 'He smells so nice!' Ria said dreamily.
I rolled my eyes. "And when I finally started thinking you're on my side."
' Yeah, whatever.' Ria said.
I picked up my phone as a text message from Jeremy popped up.
J: I just left out. We'll be there in a few days :)
A: ok be safe
J: and by safe you mean not a single strand of K.C hair must be touched or you'll kill me?
A: exactly :)
J: I'll protect her with my life. I gotta go now. Bye
A: bye.
I sighed as plopped down on the bed. 'Now I have nothing to do.'
'Why don't we sneak out to go find more gifts?' Ria suggested.
I shot up from the bed. 'Finally you said something sensible.' I walked out the door looking around if I saw anyone. I quickly started walking down the hallway to the staircase.
"Where are you going?" Someone asked behind me startling me. I turned around to see alpha Elijah standing there with his arm crossed.
"I'm going to the kitchen. You don't expect me to starve myself to death do you?" I lied while glaring at him accusingly.
"No. I was going to let someone bring the food to you and the kitchen is the other way. The other way that does not lead to the staircase." Hd said seeming to see through my lie.
"I was gonna go to the one on the first floor. How was I supposedto know there is a kitchen right there?" I asked.
"Well now you know so you don't have to go all the way to the first floor when there's one right here." He said looking at me sceptically.
"Well I wanna make friends! Don't tell me you expect me to stay up in my room forever did you? It's not healthy for me. Once they did that to me when I went on a mission and I went crazy and wiped out half of the pack." I said. That was a lie. I wouldn't kill innocent people cause I'm crazy. I made them believe the reason I killed their alpha was because I'm crazy but it was because he was abusing his power and his pack members and he tried to force me to give myself to someone so he could make a deal.
"You can go socialize with the pack later. You can eat in the kitchen here." He said not believing my lie. You know what upsets me the most? It's when I lie and people see right through it when I put so much effort into making it realistic. Even though it rarely happens I still hate when it does.
"No! I need to socialize now because I don't like talking to people. I like to get it over with quickly." I said. I used to get anxiety attacks but I was trained to overcome it and now I don't know why but it's coming back.
'Fantastic.' I thought. 'Just fantastic.'
"Well if you don't like talking to people then why do you want socialize?" He asked. I glared at him.
"You are the most difficult person I have ever met!" I said with a huff. "I don't even wanna go out anymore. You want me locked up in that claustrophobic room for the rest of my life with no friends then fine!" I said guilt tripping him. It's one of my best qualities.
"I didn't say you can't go outside. I said you're going outside later." He said said rolling his eyes.
"But I don't want to go outside later. I want to go outside now." I said slowly. He rubbed his temple.
"You're the most frustrating person I've ever come across." He said with a sigh.
"Glad we can agree on something." I said.
"You can't go outside now." He said with finality in his voice.
"But why?" I asked.
"Because you're a rouge and they might try to kill you. You're also very annoying and they won't hesitate to rip you to shreds." He added before I could say something.
"I can handle myself." I said confidentially.
"I'm sure you can." He said sarcastically. I glared at him. "I'll send someone to give you a tour of the pack grounds." He said turning to walk away.
"Why can't I go alone? I'm good at navigating." I said.
"Do you really want me to amswer that?" He asked walking away.
"Never mind." I said.
I walk into the kitchen he pointed me towards. 'I hope you can handle my appetite.' I thought looking around. I walked up to the fridge and opened it to see it packed with food. 'Hmm, I never thought he'd be a person to have ice-cream in his fridge. Too bad it's mine now.' I thought when I got ahold of a tub of ice-cream.
I walked back to my room with the ice-cream to watch t.v. It's kinda a good thing they tried to make this room not that much of a prison by adding some form of entertainment.
After switching channels until I found one that caught my eye, I plopped down on the bed frustrated. Why am I frustrated? I don't even know why I'm frustrated. Sighing I continued watching some random movie which is starting to get interesting.
I was in the middle of watching another random movie when a thought came to me. 'I can try to sneak away again. I'll be careful this time plus the alpha is nowhere to be seen. I could maybe go to the store and get myself a few things then come back without anyone knowing.' I thought to myself.
"You should do that." Ria agreed. "Also, it's almost that time of month so you'll need some... you know?" Oh! I forgot. Yeah, that explains alot.
I opened my door and walked out. I walked downstairs and successfully reached what I assume is the front door. I grabbed the door handle and opened it.
I opened it and almost had a heart attack. A girl was standing there. When she saw me she smiled and said, "Hi. I'm Cortney." She waved. I need to be more careful.
"Uh, I'm Ria." I said. I didn't tell her my real name because she could probably rat me out. "I'm new around here. Can you show me where the store is?" I asked her.
"Sure. Would you like me to take you there." She asked. 'That's a good idea since they took my bike to God knows where.' I thought.
"Sure. That would be great, thanks." I say following her as she walks to her car.
"You're gonna have fun here." She said starting the car.
I hope she's right.
