"You don't know me."
"Yes, I do. And this is not you."
"You don't know me well enough to know if this is me or not."
"You're an angel...our angel"
"The angle died long ago and the devil rose. And the devil has been here for as long as I can remember...
"So, how are we going to get my car and bike to Italy?" I ask mom.
"We can send someone to pick them up-"
I cut her off. "Ohh no. There is absolutely no way people who I don't even know are riding my bike. She's too precious to let out of my site." I say and mom chuckles. I drive to the gym and get out of the car without turing it off. Mom gets out as well.
"Here." I say as throw the car keys to her.
"Y- you want me to drive your car?" she asks surprised.
"Yea. I can't drive both annnd...I trust you." I say it honestly and see her getting a little teary eyed. I take the keys to my bike and roll out of the garage.

I put the key in and rev the bike up and we're off again.
Time skip
I get off my bike and take my helmet off. I walk to my car and put the helmet in backseat and take out my backpack to put my bike keys and my car keys inside. I open my trunk and dad and Dante get my suitcase and duffel bag. I walk over to Zane and Jenn who met us here. I give Jennifer a big hug. She's always been like a big sister to me and she's always been here since day one.
"I'll miss you Tess. Make sure to be good and if you need anything, I'm only a phone call away. Keep working on your paintings and books. But also make sure to give your family a chance. They didn't abandon you and try to let them in..at least a little. Please Tess." she says. I give her nod and move to Zane to envelop him in a hug.
"I'm gonna miss you Killer." he calls me by my nickname which has a reason behind it. But that's a tale for another time. "I'll come down in a few days to make sure you don't slack off on training and for your missions." he says quietly so only I can hear.
Again. Later.
I pick up my backpack and walk towards the private jet. I take a seat next to Dante, across from mom and dad. The jet takes off.
"So. Since this is going to be a long flight, how about you tell us about yourself." my father says.
"Well, I'm 15, my birthday is December 16, so in 6 months. I added the name Jordan to my name...for reasons. My nicknames are AJ, DJ, Tess, and M. I paint and play a few instruments. My favorite colors are black and blood red. And I love archery." I say. There are couple more things about me they don't know and won't they know until I tell them.
"What kind of instruments do you play?" Dante asks.
"I play the piano, electric guitar, regular guitar, the drums and the flute."
We talk for a while until I yawn. I lay my head Dante's shoulder and drift off to sleep.
Wake up to someone shaking me lightly. "Come Artemis wake up, we landed." I recognize Dante's voice. I get and stretch a little before taking my backpack in my hand and walking out. When I do, I see my car and bike. I throw my bike keys to one of the guards and tell him he can drive it but if he scratches it, it won't end well for him and get in my car. This time, Dante gets in my car with me instead of mom.
