Artemisa Snow

It was the early morning and Artemisa was sitting by her window watching the people once again go outside for the first time in months. The snow was melting and made a beautiful sight in the front yard. Trees filled with droplets and the sun shining on then. It looked magical.
I'll go outside Artemisa thought.
She then grabbed her beautiful platinum sword and placed it in her belt, dressed in a white shirt, black pants and her brown leather boots that reached to her knee and headed outside.
She walked through the town square and everyone looked in a good mood Must be that its spring she thought.
She then got to the port and saw the boats with loads of cargo and decided to go check it out, but not before she made a false step and fell to the river. She was trying to keep afloat but she couldn't, she was starting to drown.
"Help, help!" she screamed. "I can't swim, help!"

Fareeda

I walked along the dock until I found a bench near the water. I didn't have anything to do today and this was the farthest I could get from the rest of the city. I carried the book I was reading at the moment. It was about a warrior in medieval times named Joan of Arc. It was interesting to see how she was treated even though she was a woman.

I flipped another page when I heard something and looked up. A girl was walking along when she slipped and started yelling. "I can't swim, Help!" I stood up swiftly setting the book down on the bench and took my light jacket off. I took a deep breath and jumped down into the water below. The sailors wouldn't do anything, I knew they wouldn't when I was little I had seen something just like this happen. I wasn't the greatest swimmer but I was the only one who would bother enough to save the girl. I swam over to her and held on to her. She was frantically waving around and it was hard for me to hold on to.

I dragged her along after me working hard to keep both of us above the water. We finally reached one of the slopes that went down into the water for people to go up and down from. I pulled her up onto it as well as myself. I took a few deep breaths and then said jokingly, "Well, glad I got some exercise today."

I wake up from a good nights sleep. My arm still hurts from throwing knives yesterday with Joshua and Fareeda, but I will live. I soak my hair in warm water and fashion it to look it's very best. Appearance is the most important thing for me. I yawn and grab a banana from the kitchen. I grab my pack, which consists of a few books, half of them about math. I, just like the rest of District 10, am obsessed with math. I just go with the flow and do what everyone else is doing. I grab my jacket and head out the door. I walk to the town square, where many people mingle on the benches and check out the shops. I haven't seen this much people out her for a while, as this winter has been very horrible. Noticing how I am starting to sweat, I go back inside and leave my coat. I decide to head out to the pier and read, because it is far too crowded here for my liking. As I arrive, I see Fareeda and another girl I haven't seen before soaking wet. "Still a little chilly for a swim, don't you think?" I ask them.

Artemisa Snow

Artemisa was starting to drown and couldn't stay afloat. Then, a girl came and tried to get hold of her but Artemisa was moving to much and made it hard for the girl to get her out of the water. After much struggling the girl eventually got her out of the water.
That is where Artemisa finally calmed down and heard the girl say "Well, glad I got some exercise today.", then another person arrived to the pier and said "Still a little chilly for a swim, don't you think?"
Artemisa then just laughed, eventhough the question was probably for the other girl. As she then got her thoughts well together she said nervously "Well thanks, and it ain't to chilly right now to swim". This comment of course made no sense because for once she wasn't swimming, she was drowning. Second, it was actually cold outside.
As Artemisa was thinking wow these two might think I'm weird because I said that, she was getting ready to leave, when a Peacekeeper came and said "What are you three doing here". Oh great I'm in trouble again., Artemisa thought.

I see the Peacekeepers, but I don't stiffen or act weird. I see Peacekeepers as regular citizens, though sometimes can be cruel, are just trying to make a living to feed their families. "Oh, I just came here to read." I say, telling the truth. I have never broken the law, and don't plan on doing so. I then look at Fareeda and the other girl, and I don't want them to get in trouble either. I am not very good at lying, but I try anyway. "Uh, and then I met up with my friends, Fareeda and uh, Melody. We were playing around and they accidentally fell in." I cross my fingers, hoping my lie was good enough. I also silently pray that Peacekeepers doesn't actually know the other girl, because of course her name is actually Melody.

Artemisa Snow

As the Peacekeepers came they were intrigued by how wet Artemisa and the girl were. Then, one of them asked in a playful voice "what were you doing swimming at this time." Then, he changed his voice into a dramatical serious tone, this time saying "Do you know that you shouldn't be here?"
The other person, who had said "Still a little chilly for a swim, don't you think?" then stood up and looked at the Peacekeepers and said "Oh, I just came here to read."
Artemisa was just there looking at what reaction would the Peacekeepers make or what would they do. Then, one of them said hissing "Yes, but did you know that you going to read, does not explain why they are wet?"
Then the person said "Uh, and then I met up with my friends, Fareeda and uh, Melody. We were playing around and they accidentally fell in."
And the person couldn't lie because the Peacekeeper already knew Artemisa.
Smiling, the Peacekeeper said "Good save, Elaine"(Apparently he knew Elaine too)"If I would not know her I would believe you. You know that this girl right here is not Melody but Artemisa."
Elaine looked shocked that the lie didn't turn out so well. Then Elaine looked at Artemisa with a look of "help". Artemisa saw this and then said "Peacekeeper, um...it's that Melody is my...nickname"
"Really, Artemisa" said the Peacekeeper doubtfully.
"Yes" There was silence after that, but only for an instant.
"Ok... Anyways, what are you three doing in restricted area" the Peacekeeper resumed to the subject.
Elaine then said "Um I was just coming here to read and Fareeda was sitting with Melody when we started playing and they fell. We didn't know this was a restricted area because there is no sign that says that."
"Yes" hissed the Peacekeeper "But you do know that everyone says this area is off limits and that you three are in trouble for being here."
"Whoa, hold on. First of all, there is no sign that says that this area is off limits. Second of all, we were not doing anything bad and third of all, y'all could get in trouble because you did not come in time to tells us to get out, instead we were here for a long time and you came until, let me see, much later!. You know that there is a penalty for Peacekeepers that do not take care of their assigned areas, so if you don't get us in trouble, we won't get you in trouble." snapped Artemisa at the Peacekeeper. This wasn't like her to snap at people like that, but the nervousness made her say that and she felt bad about it after she noticed what she had pronounced to the Peacekeeper and that she wanted to say sorry to him, but she said nothing.
"Very well, Artemisa"said the Peacekeeper "Plus I owe you from last time I got you in trouble without you being the culprit. I guess I'll let you all go, but let this be a warning to all of you" he then pointed to the three of them " that if you are seen again in here, you will get punished."
"Ok" all of the three.
"And, this never happened" concluded the Peacekeeper.
Everyone then left the place and acted as if this never happened.

I let out a sigh of relief as the Peacekeepers leave the marina. This NEVER happened. I remind myself, walking away from the docks. "Well, Fareeda and Melody," I say sarcastically. 'Do you want to come back to my house to dry off?"

OOC: Sorry, short post :/
