"Is that… what the modern people say to their… significant other, nowadays," Artemis interrupted, "It's quite strange. To be frank, I would not call my partner that, since you're trying to run away from those filthy humans." Artemis continues to rant and barrade us both, when we come to the arrival of Altoona, Pennsylvania. The notorious city of freezing winters and slightly warmer summers. The soft and pillowy snow on the rooftops of the buildings are memzering to my hazel colored pupils.
As the carriage pulls to a stop near the edge of the city, we get out and begin walking next to the horses as Artemis guides them along. We slow down as we near the local pub. Me and Marybeth wait a little because Artemis is tying the horses to the stable and leaving the carriage next to them. As I wait, I smile at Marybeth warmly. I'm happy to see her with me, but I am also afraid to know that she might have trauma; considering that she witnessed my fake death and believed it. I hope Marybeth's alright, but you will never know what'll happen in the future.
All three of us enter the pub and some of the townsfolk turn their heads. They just stared at us for a few moments and then continued to go back to what they were doing before. I look at Artemis that has turned into a white cat [A Sailor Moon reference]. Turns out that familiars can change into anything, but for Artemis, he said that he only transforms into cats because he's my familiar. I guess that's fair, to be honest. Anyways, we should probably get back to what I was saying before… all this. Once I look back up, Artemis jumps onto my shoulder and licks my not-so scarred and burned face. I assume that Artemis healed me while I was asleep.
I gulp softly as I begin to walk farther into the pub. My heart beats faster with every step I take as I start to become anxious. What if the same thing happens to me again here like it did in Williamsburg, Virginia? Would I actually die this time? What will happen to Artemis if that happens? What about Marybeth? Would she find another lover after my death? What about my small coven? What are they going to do? Are they even alive?
