Chapter 1

Opening his eyes, to see a patterned roof of white colour, his mind instantly recoiled and he began to frantically look around. Two other beds were within the room, pushed into opposite corners. Within them, a body respectively was covered gently with a blanket.

“Deana?” The chubby boy asked confused as he went to stand.

After being called out, the blanket closest to the bed flipped and a stare filled with certain malice was directed to the boy.

“What do ‘you’ want?” Her voice stung like blades, and it seemed to directly affect the boy as his foot landed weird and he dropped to the floor.

“Keep it down Art, or do you want the guy to come and shake you?”

Laying prone on the floor, the boy sighed as he patted himself down, pinching at his thighs and face. ‘This…have I went back in time?’ He continued to pinch himself until the door swung open, and a crazed demon stepped inside.

“What are you doing!” The demon walked to the centre and stood like a domineering mountain in front of the fallen boy.

Artemis looked up from the floor and into the eyes of the person, the thunder contained within the iris of Artemis made the man flinch greatly, but maybe due to feeling humiliated at losing an eye battle, the man grabbed Artemis by his arm and dragged him up.

“Get changed and leave!” The man pushed Artemis onto the bed, before leaving the room in anger.

The room turned silent, and the quarrel of a man and woman could be heard in another room.

“Now look what you have done. Get changed and go to school quickly.” Deana, his sister, left the bed and took a set of clothes from a box underneath his bed.

“Eva-” Artemis tried to speak, but was ushered to silence by Deana.

“Do not speak any further, or you will only cause more trouble. Evaline has already left for school.” She answered as if reading his mind.

However, his mind of thought was greatly changing at an accelerated pace.
