"Artemis, we can't protect the ones we love all the time, and it's not your fault. It's the two sickos who did this, and they deserved what they got," Iris said biting her lip, "Eliza wouldn't want you to feel this way, instead go and comfort her."

"S-She will not let me. She just p-pushes me away." Artemis said, his vision flickering in and out, "I-I am trying... but... she..." Finally, his vision went totally black, and he slumped backwards, falling heavily to the floor.

Iris let out a sigh and quietly spoke a healing spell and helped Artemis to his feet, "Come on you and Eliza have to stay together, even if she wants to be alone," Iris told Artemis guiding towards Eliza's room.

Artemis sighed wearily. "I just d-d-do not want her to hate me," He mumbled, unable to look at Iris. "Why do we have to stay together?"

"Because out of this school you're the one she needs most, and vice versa," Iris said simply, "Just be near her and let her decide if shewant you near her, Eliza loves being around someone, she might just want company," Iris said opening the door.

"Hold on, she said she needed towels for her room," Artemis said, stopping in his tracks, "I should probably go get some. Later, Iris." He said, turning to go.

Was there anything better then a bath? Hot water swirling around, encasing a person's body. That's what Eliza liked about water, it didn't matter who you were people needed it, and it willing took anyone into it's body. Eliza surfaced from under the water, her body crimson, but she was feeling a tiny bit better.

Artemis returned with the towels a few minutes later, slipping into the room and knocking on the bathroom door. "E-Eliza?" He called softly, leaning on the wall beside the door frame. "I brought the towels, you want me to just leave them out here or bring them in?"

"You can come in, I don't care, you've already seen me naked," Eliza said leaning down into the water, her hair splaying out in the water.

Artemis paused, then opened the door. "Where do you want me to put them?" He asked softly, his eyes still downcast.

"Anywhere," Eliza said looking up at Artemis and noticing how beat up and dirty he looked, "Damn you look like hell," she said sitting up in the bathtub a little.

Artemis chuckled. "Thanks," He said, smirking as he set the towels by the sink, "Its no big deal, though, I am fine." He said as he examined himself in the mirror.

"I'd hope so," Eliza said scooting her legs towards her and hugging her knees, "What did Iris have to say?"

Artemis sighed, "She wants us to stay together. Thats about all she said," He said, turning and walking over to the door. "I am going to go change clothes. I will be in my room if you need me."

"I-I don't want to be alone," Eliza said quietly looking down at the water to hide the tears welling in her eyes, 'soory I don't want to smother you."

Artemis smiled softly, looking back at her. "It is okay, I will stay." He said, sitting on the floor across from the tub. "If you are hungry, we can go grab some breakfast after you're done."

"I'm not really hungry, mind scrubbing my back?" Eliza asked holding out a loofa to Artemis, "I wonder where Iris got the whole speech she gave you?"

Artemis scooted behind her, taking the loofah and scrubbing her back. "What do you mean?" He asked.

"A couple years back, Iris was out clubbing and some guy hired by her mother drugged her and raped her, that's why she's so quiet and skiddish around guys," Eliza explained and closed her eyes as her back was scrubbed, she was a sucker for a good back rub/scrubbing/scratch.

"Mmm..." Artemis said softly, "I had not heard that." He mused, scrubbing her back gently, "Poor girl, must have really messed her up."
