Such a Lovely Place; Such a Lovely Fac--Wait! ((Open w/ Artemis))
The day was finally starting to come to a close, leaving hues of pinks, oranges, and yellows kissing the earth, grasping for the final breaths of light while the sun drifted behind the horizon. The air was cool from the mid-November climate and most persons were investing themselves in a warm dinner and time spent with their families; however, traveling alone with her pink and black scroll strapped tightly to her back was a short girl with pink locks. Two hours of traveling had left her with only a sliver of daylight left and a whole night to get through.
Artemis descended a steep hill, hands clutching the paper bags sheâd found and taken from inside a womanâs shopping cart while she was loading them into her car. It was the least Artemis could do to take her mind off of loading so much into her car at once. If sheâd left that bag in the cart, sheâd of been a monster to that poor woman laboring away and storing the bags!
As she continued down the hill, feet gracefully avoiding slippery edges, she hummed quietly to herself a victory song. Today had been a great day for her, after all. Sheâd managed to find food, help a woman, and now she was coming to find a hotel nearby where she could take her leave for the night! If she could call her mother right now and tell her of the tales she would, but she doubted her mother was awake at this time, seeing as dinner was done and she had to tend to crops in the morning.
Reaching the bottom of the hill, she noted the sky becoming a darker hue of purple, shrouding the streets in a cloak of inevitable darkness. Artemis predicted the night would set in faster than sheâd thought, making her frown momentarily at her vision being wrong. Shrugging it off, she continued toward her destination, a motel three hours away.
Upon arriving at the distant motel, she quickly glanced around, eyes peeled for any uniformed personnel that may take her and kick her out. Lowering herself slightly, she warily made her way past a row of doors. She knew her only chance was to find the windows and slip through those instead. Ten minutes of searching led her to the first window. Wiggling the bottom of it, she sighed in defeat.
Proceeding to the second, she received the same treatment; then the third; then the fourth; and finallyâŠat the fifth, she felt the window give way, granting her access to the rooms inside.
Giggling softly, she removed her scroll from her back, slipping it inside and gently plopping it on the floor below. Lifting her leg up, she gracefully stepped over the windowsill and stepped into the room she presumed empty. She turned around, simply shutting the window and smiling at the welcoming warmth that greeted her freezing face.
She bent down, retrieving her scroll, and propped it and her bag of groceries up against the wall to keep them from being her either death or something she stepped on in the morning. Having done that, she reached up and began the process of removing her ponytails, rubber bands, beaded sticks, and bow from her head, placing them on the nearest nightstand for safekeeping.
Finally, she reached up to her sternum, unbuttoning the cloak she wore over her dress, letting it fall to the floor. She kicked off her shoes next, wiggling her cold and stiff feet in an attempt to return the feeling to them. After that, she removed her dress with practiced ease, then her undergarments, letting each fabric of clothing simply fall to her feet. For some reason, she always preferred to sleep naked. Maybe it was the fabric of the sheets feeling more cozy or perhaps she just enjoyed the truest freedom of the body.
Once more giggling, she moved to the bed of the room, relieved to feel the warmth of blankets sheâd longed to embrace. The linen sheets were lined with a hint of lavender, much to her excitement. She let out one final sigh, snuggling deeper into the sheets, curling herself up into a ball next to the mass she assumed was just more pillows on the bed, not realizing it was another person in the bed with her.
