The rest of the day was short, the sun set rather quickly, and while the sky was still ever so slightly a flame with the eveing sun light, Artemis silently climbed the vines on the wall to Joanna's room. He knew which one it was without looking. He tapped gently on glass to get her attention.

He stepped gracefully onto the window sill. "Tell me you did not wait all day for me?" he said slightly teasingly, "You make me feel exceedingly important."

"You're to be married to the silly little boy who I saw leaving earlier today?" he asked knowingly, "yes, I know. There aren't many things about you that I don't know." He couldn't keep a smile on his face, so it became passive.

"I don't want you to either," he said, "but I'm afraid a woman's secret lover doesn't have much say in her life." He touched her only lightly as he wrapped his arms around her. "When's the wedding?"

"Well, I suppose..." he thought for the following few seconds, "I could kill the boy, but I'm not sure you'd approve of that."

"Then I do not know what to do," he said. He stroked her hair and looked down at her, for she was a good bit shorter. Then a brilliant idea cam e to him. "How much do you love me?" he asked.

"Then we'll run," he said, "Tomorrow night." He was smiling again, his perfectly smooth lips stretched over his teeth, baring slightly the longer ones.

"tomarrow night?"she asked."why not tonight?"she reached up and stroked his cheek. she didnt flinch when he bared his teeth like most would. she loved his smile, it always seemed to calm her when she was upset. but not now. she sighed and put her head back on his chest.

He nodded in understanding of her want to leave. "I have something I'd like to clear up," he said, "Your uncle isn't the only one who dislikes my kind. I've had a few followers the past few days that I want to get rid of before. And besides, you should have a chance to say a subtle good bye to your uncle. You'll have a chance to think this through. I'm not the kind to do things spontaneously, you know that."
