He dragged me out and held my hand too tight that I can feel my hands twitching. I tapped his twp times enough for him to notice and let loose.
I got really amazed by the interior design of the house, from the elegant hallways and luxurious furnitures and statues of people, maybe a part of their family. There's people who are probably their maids and servants. There's also some of those girls I met earlier, I don't remember their names since I didn't payed attention to them because I'm still dizzy at the time. The red hair girl happily waved her hands and the other just shrugged. I'm a bit awkward so I let out a shy smile and waved a little.
We did not speak a word until I noticed the path we are going to, I can smell flowers and it didn't dissapoint me when I saw a beautiful garden being guarded by two people. This garden is different from normal ones. It is inside the mansion, maybe we're in the center. I has tall fence covered with net and grass.
The guards bowed their head before opening the gate. We came in and I got inlove by how beautiful the scenery inside. It calms me down somehow, It seemed too familiar to me and want to stay here for a while.
He hemmed making me look at him in a questioning look. He let out a sigh before saying a word.
"This is Arthemis's garden, we preserved this for decades and I was always the one who took a good care of it. This garden is very wide that there's also animals here. We practice archery here since here is where she do archery. I know you can still feel that you are connected to it somehow since you are her", that hits me. Am I really Arthemis?
Silence reigned on us and I decided to go for a walk and explore. He was just walking with me the whole time. I can't help but to admire how beautiful the surroundings is. It was like fairytale. I smell flowers when we pass to one. We also saw animals which are rabbits and birds. I felt really happy that I forgot the sorrow and painful memories that I had for the past months till now.
We reached the last part of the garden, there's a beautiful statue of a girl similar to the paintings on that room. She's wearing a thin dress and her arms held bow and arrow. She must be me.
After staring at the statue for minutes, he offered me to go out and go somewhere else. I'm so tired and bored at the same time, we've been walking for hours, whenever I ask him what's going on, he just say that he's waiting for someone but why do I feel different. It seems like he's lost but impossible since he lived here for 'Decades' right?
He looks grumphy now, he switched mood. He looks distracted so I took the chance to escape from him. I ran fast and unluckily bumped to someone. I felt dizzy but someone catches me from falling. I feel safe from his warmth so I held his collar tightly. We stood up slowly, it was like the time stopped and only us are moving. I can clearly see his dark eyes and messy hair. He smirked when I touches his shoulders when I felt dizzy again.
"Looks like the kitten escaped from the dog", he said and in a blink of an eye he lifted me using one hand and ran. I don't know but I felt safer now that I'm with the other Ace. It feels different. I can't even stop him from running because I myself liked it being with him. I felt that we are connected somehow.
I really felt dizzy and remembered that I felt the same when I first met him. I'm too weak for his presence. I felt him smirk and continued running till hed laid me to a soft bed.
He went to an old cabinet and took something there. It's a liquid in a small jar and pour it in the glass. He mixed it and went straight to me. He wants me to drink it. My hands moved on its own amd grabbed the glass, I took a sip and went asleep.

I woke up and felt something hugging me from behind. I don't feel dizzy now and I felt more lively. I looked at him and he smiles.
"You've slept well", he said.
"Uhm, I guess? "
He stood up and fixed his clothes. He glanced at me and smirked.
"You attempted escaping from the lion and now I'm preparing for my punishment", he said and sat on the chair near the bed.
"I don't understand? Why did you bring me here? ", I asked clueless.
"You begged me to take you, don't you remember?", he grinned and took a glass of red liquid, might be blood, and sips it until it's empty. He looked at me again.
"We need to go, he's ordering me to release you"
I stood up and looked at myself in the mirror, I just realized that I'm dressed and got my hair done. I looked at him confused but he just shrugged.
"What did you do!? "
He laughed and left me.
