"Is there any problem here?" Artemis asked as the smoke cleared. I have a feeling that she knows exactly what happened here.
When we both didn't answer her, she walked towards the witch, the smile she had on when she was attacking me slipped from her face as trace of fear appeared in its place.
"Care to explain, Bernice?" Artemis asked, her voice low.
"I was testing the new witch in the tower." the witch, Bernice replied, "as you might know I am the person appointed by the head wizard to manage the new apprentices."
"The thing is Bernice." Artemis said as she put her hand on Bernice's shoulder. "Thea isn't just an apprentice. She is my apprentice."
"And I don't like when others meddle in my business." sweat formed on Bernice's forehead as Artemis's power crackled in the room. The students who were chanting spells were now peeking out of the room at the spectacle that was happening.
"I hope you understand that" Artemis paused, from the exterior she looked calm, she was even smiling at Bernice, but the energy in the room was suffocating. "Or I can explain it to you in detail the next time decide to mess with my apprentice."
"That won't be necessary." Bernice whispered.
"let's go, Thea." She called out as she made her way out of the hall. I flowed her smirking as I passed Bernice, daring her to try anything now.
Artemis didn't even raise her voice and was able to put Bernice in her position.
I was actually a little salty about it.
I could have handled it perfectly.
I might not have been able to scare her with just a few words, but I would have definitely kicked her ass.
As I followed her to our shared quarters, I had a feeling that she was a little angry with me.
Why though? It's not like I did anything.
As soon as I entered the room, the door slammed behind me.
her hair whirling in the air as she turned glaring at me.
"What?" I asked cracking my neck and rolling my shoulders. My neck was a little sore from earlier.
'I should have at least kicked her.' I thought pouting.
"Why do I had to leave my very important work and come here to rescue you from the unwanted trouble you got yourself in?" Artemis shouted startling me.
I stood straight, not knowing what to say. Why is she shouting?
Wait.
"How did you know that I was in trouble," I asked, narrowing my eyes to her. She is freaky.
"That is not the question," she said while gritting her teeth,
"I didn't need your help; I am capable of helping myself." I scoffed as I made my way to bed, as if she is only one who is powerful here.
I am hungry and she is here yelling at me.
I am not going to take shit from her while being hungry.
"And reveal your powers in a place full of wizards who will figure out who you are in a moment?" I blinked as I avoided her eyes, she might be right about that.
Hell, if I admit it to her.
"Are you daft? How could you not know that?" she asked as she came towards me fuming.
"How would I have defended myself against her if I didn't use my powers? I asked standing from my bed. How dare she? How dare she call me daft.
"I don't care what you do. If you know what's good for you, you will not use your powers while you are in kysoria." she said glaring at me, her eyes burning with fire.
"If you are foolish enough to ignore my warning and get yourself in situations where you have to use your powers, know that I will not be there to save you," she said and vanished from in front of me.
Again.
