The Villainess Wants To Go Home

Chapter 30 - Dear God

Artemis tightens her grip on Homura. Her heart jumped to her throat blocking the airway to her lungs,

her knees were betraying her, and her sweat run cold.

The noises of the people echoed in her ears weakening her spirit. 'I'm such a fool' she thought.

'I thought I can overcome my fears, but I can't. I can't do it without you Daisuke' tears started to fall

down her cheeks and onto the confused fox's snout.

"What's up with you human?" Homura in irritation.

"I can't do it" she mumbled under her shaking breath, hugging Homura more firmly in her arms. Her

fearful eyes stared into the town not far from where they were.

"Do what? You humans are so complicated." He huffed. "Act tough in front of others but to cower away

when things get complicated"

Artemis wasn't listening to the fox in her arms instead she was trembling in fear, it felt she was dying all

over again, the same aching pain in her chest, the tensed muscles, and the trouble of breathing.

No matter how many times she wanted to walk into the town and conquer the fear that held her back

for years.

She wanted to turn the other ay and run, run back to the awful mansion, and stay there forever and to

never come out even if it meant dealing with the sadistic family that resided in that mansion.

"I'm sorry brother I can't do it." She cried quietly, looking down at the baffled fox who was getting

frustrated with the tears that soaked his little nose.

*'Brother?*' the fox titled his head in thought. 'What is she so afraid of?'

"I really want to but-" Artemis took a step back her eyes didn't leave the lively town.

"Hey! I thought we were going to land of humans" the fox looked up the shaking human whose icy blue

eyes hadn't left the village once since they arrived.

He notice before how she was starting to tremble and tightening the hug when they were getting closer

to the human land, but he thought she was freezing or something.

He had no know idea to what to feel towards the terrified human that held him in her arms so

protective.

"Tch now you're getting on my nerves" he uttered.

"I don't think I will ever get rid of this fear" she cried, closing her eyes, and letting her tears fall down

even faster. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

"Hey, watch where you crying! Your making my fur wet" Homura yelled in anger but was ignored again

by her. "Oi, human stop"

Without notice Artemis stopped crying, shock crossed her face. A milky white transparent hand laid on

Artemis shoulder. It's touch felt like the familiar gentle hand that support her throughout her life.

"Daisuke" she mumbled softly, her eyes watering in joy. "\~No matter where I am or where you are, I

will always be there when you need me\~" His soft medallic voice echoed lightly in her ears, sending a

warm feeling to her heart, and easing the troubled mind.

Her heart begged her to turn around and see the face she missed so much but her mind told her that it

was just God looking after her.

Obeying her heart and quickly spun around, eager to see his face once again but was met with nothing

but air.

Hugging the muddled fox, she smiled. "Thank you"

"Heh?" Homura titled his head. Artemis swallowed hard, looking straight into the distance she took a

huge step forward, a step to conquer the fear that dug deeply into her soul.

"Let's do this"

Homura gulped, his guts told him that being with human is going to bring a whole lot of trouble towards

them.

'Dear God, why did you leave me with this mentally unstable human'
