Something Wicked This Way Comes: Part 1

"Yeah, I do. Come on." Trevor said, walking inside.

Artemis followed him in, hands in her pockets. "I don't have a lot of time, so be quick about it."

"All right, you want anything?" He asked, buying one of those bottled frapaccino(SP?) things.

Artemis shook her head, "I'm fine."

"Okay then," He said, sitting down at a table. "would you mind explaning some of this?"

"If I knew what needed explaining I would." Artemis shrugged, "I'm a hunter. You know, go out, find the creature, kill it, be done."

Trevor nodded. "Yes, I understand that. Well, sort of. But I want to know about the creatures... werewolves, vampires, ghosts, wraiths, it's all real? I mean, I saw that... thing back at my house, but..." He said, trailing off.

Artemis nodded, "All real."

"And you hunt and kill... or rekill them correct?" He asked.

Artemis nodded, "And I have a clan of vampires in southern New York state I need to get towards ASAP, so if we could speed this up, it would be nice."

"Okay, well, uh... just two more things then, please. How have these... things gone unnoriced by the majority of mankind?" He asked.

"There are a lot of hunters. And with enough money, anything can be kept silent." she explained.
((BRB. Have to dry my hair.))

((Okay.))
"Huh... okay... well," Trevor said, standing up. "Please, can I come with you? This is, like, my wildist dream come true! And I already know a ton about this stuff, and I'm not needed here. So what do you say?" He asked, hopefully.
((She can say either yes or no... with yes he'll go with her, and with no, he'll sneak into her car ^^ ))

((Back. And haha.))
Artemis shook her head, "I can't be responsible for anyone else. You'd probably get killed, if not, worse. Besides, you have a family here who probably would rather you stay. Now, I'd normally give you a ride back to your house, but I have to go. See ya around, kid." She waved, then went back out to her car, starting it, then sighing as she pushed her hair back out of her face and drove off.

((^^))
Trevor sighed and shrugged a little. "All right, well whatever. I need to go visit my dad in the hospital anyway." He said, leaving before Artemis. When she drove off, unknown to her, she had an extra passenger. After about a hundred miles or so, a violent thudding could be heard from her trunk.

Artemis pulled the car over to the side of the road and opened the trunk, "What part of no don't you get?"

Trevor burst out of the trunk, face redand gasping for air. "Sorry... can't... breathe..." He muttered, catching his breath. After a few seconds, he began to answer her question. "The part where... you leave me... back in that podunk hell...."

Artemis sighed and rolled her eyes, "Fine. We're already this far, and I don't have time to get back. Get in the car. But, when I'm done, I'm taking you back home!"

"No way! I can help, trust me! Quiz me on something. Go ahead, ask me something." He said, climbing out of the trunk and into the passenger seat.

"Asking me for a quiz isn't the best plan. I hunt, not study." Artemis said simply.

"Well ask me about the things you hunt. I'm obsessed with that stuff, I know how to deal with it." He said.

Artemis shook her head, "Well, I don't. I'm just supposed to kill it. Other than what weapon to use against it, I don't know anything about these creatures."

Trevor just looked at her for a moment. "And how long have you been hunting them?"

Artemis shrugged, "Long time. 10 years, maybe?"

Trevor nodded. "And you know nothing about this stuff? And how old are you? You only look about my age."
