Honora Castellum

?????: deflects it- Gia...I'll stay here until you remember....and protect you from HIM

Liria: Artemis stop...he's a friend...

No he isn't Liria, he's a... what the hell are you?

???: A man...named Peter...

Liria: Artemis...he was the one Gianna loved..he cant be bad.....

Artemis: -I hold onto Liria protectively- This is not Gianna. I'm sorry but she isn't.

Crest: You have invaded the Strayer fortress of Honora Castellum...

Peter's eyes turned jealous- Let go of her....

Liria: Peter......Please....I'm sorry but I'm not Gianna.

Peter's eyes turn pleading- Gia...come on...I'm not going anywhere....He's been after you...I'm staying...You won't be forced to do this again...

Liria: Do what?

Artemis: -I keep my hold on Liria- SHE IS LIRIA!

Crest: -I reach behind Peter's back and cuff him-

Artisan: -I keep my wand pointed at him- Sorry buddy, but you invaded our land. You will be kept in a holding cell until we can understand your intentions.

Peter: Gia....Don't worry...They can't keep me forever...

Liria: looks confused-

Ahh...Gianna your lover returns...Don't worry I'll kill him soon enough...and that Strayer boy

Liria: NO!

Peter: thrashes looking livid: YOU LEAVE HER ALONE!!!!!! I'LL KILL YOU THIS TIME!!! YOU WON'T HAUNT HER ANY LONGER!!!!!!!

-Artemis and Liria follow Crest and Artisan to the holding cell-

Artemis: Look, I'm REALLY sorry about all of this, but this is just a precaution. If we find you trustworthy, you're free to go. Now what is it that's haunting Liria?

Gianna come here...Please...You'll be safe remember? he won't haunt your dreams if you stay in my arms.....


Liria: I.....I can't.....

-I look to Liria- He's not responding to me... you'll have to ask him...

Liria: Peter...

Peter: Yes Love?

Liria: Who's coming after me?

Peter: Gia...You know as well as I do not to say the name.

Liria: Oh...

Peter: nods and looks at her longingly- Gianna...-he whispers reaching and over and touching her face softly....then tracing down her neck and then her collar bones then down her arm to her hand..- You kept your promise now I'll keep mine..Forever..- I press my lips to her hand softly-

Liria: Is frozen in surprise.-

-I approach the bars- Who is it? And what promise?

Peter has not let go of Liria: Can't say his name......And I promised to keep her safe...

-I look him directly in her eyes and move his hand away from Liria- Then you have to listen to me. She is not Gianna. However your aims are admirable. Would you mind if I just looked into your mind, briefly I assure you, for this thing you wish to protect Gianna from?

Believe it or not, we ARE on the same side for this one. If you let me in, I'll let you out of this cell the second I'm done. You have my word, because I too wish to protect Liria.

Peter looks at Liria then says- Alright...

-I point my wand at him- Legillimens.

Only a name and a face appear in my mind.

Atticus

-I release him from my spell and nod to Crest, who unlocks the cell and lets him free-

Thank you, that information is most helpful

Liria: has her arms around Artemis-

Peter: Gianna...don't worry I'm staying...

Peter, may I speak with you in private?

No..Gianna doesn't leave my sight.

OOC Is this what it feels like to deal with an over-righteous pain in the ass?

IC

-I groan in annoyance- She is LIRIA!!!! NOT GIANNA!!

Now anyway, can you tell me how you and Gianna, first encounter... this man?

OOC He's not lying Crouch..and lol yes..And cool it with the questions....

IC Long story...and I have things to do...Don't worry Gia...I'll be right back...-before anyone can stop me I kiss Liria on the cheek an leave-

OOC Don't blame me, blame Arty. He HAS to know what he's up against

IC

HEY! THATS MY FIANCE!!!!

OOC I know he isn't lying but he's getting annoyed with the whole Gia thing

OOC lol All will be revealed...and this is funny...I can't wait to do something else....

IC .................Artemis?- I say cautiously-
