Raising an eyebrow at her suspiscious actions, he raised his hand and put it over hers, applying slight pressure at the shoulder to confirm his thoughts.
"Sure?"

Almost immediately his pressure on her shoulder caused her to cringe, and a small yelp to leave her lips. The sting from the bruise harsh, raw, and fresh.

Sirius' eyes narrowed. "C'mon, I'm going to have to take you to the hospital wing. Raine would be curious and worried if she ever saw them..." He said.

Pulling back, her hand grasping tighter to her shoulder, eyes narrowing herself, "I don't need any bloody healing! I'm perfectly fine! Nothing is wrong with me! Nothin i can't handle!" Running into the stone wall, she winced again as another horrible bruise had made contact, but she denied the pain, forced it back. She was fine, she convinced herself of that.

Sirius stood stunned for a minute, as no one, no one other than his mother and Lily Evans ever shouted to his face. Making a mental note that Art was as stubborn as he was, or maybe even more, his eyes flashed anger.
"Do you want to show weakness to others as you did me? Just go to the hospital wing and pretend it never happened! Merlin! Sure, you can convince yourself that you're fine, but it's not good enough for me." He said, his voice toning down. He sighed and ran his hand thru his hair. "Please? I don't want to see you hurt." He mumbled the last.
Maybe as long as she convinced herself she was fine she would be. But to someone she has already shown weakness to wasn't good enough.

Seeing him calm down did something to her.
Her hand on her shoulder loosened, "I-I..." She sighed, she didn't want to hurt Sirius, and it looked like he really cared.
Sighing in defeat, "I'll go, but I won't like it." She walked up to him, and passing him her spine spazed, and her legs buckled, folding like paper. She clung to Sirius' shirt, awaiting her legs to regain the feeling and mobility, "Damn it!" She muttered, pulling herself up onto her feet once the feeling came back, "They send me three crucio's, and all of a sudden my legs turn to jello!" She leaned against the wall, and started to make her way down the hall. STopping at the end of the hallway she looked both ways, and then realized she had to turn right, she was on the left wall, "Ok, now would be a great time for my legs to start working normally!" She glared down at them, and then at once she felt some feeling come back.
Surprised for a moment, she took it, and pushed away from the wall and started to walk, slowly, to the hospital wing. Hoping Sirius would decide not to come with her, he didn't need to see all the damage done. Just a few bruises, nothing....ok, it was something...and it hurt likehell. Exactly why he shouldn't come.
But something told her he would be.

Sirius smiled slightly as she agreed to go to the hospital wing. He was about to turn back for class, but Artemis stumbled and grabben onto his shirt, so he was highly doubtful the girl could make it in one piece.
He stared as she take a few slow steps towards the hospital wing, he shook his head.
He went and placed Artemis' arm around his shoulder, and held her by the torso. "You're never gunna make it like that." He said. "If you hurt too much, let me know, I'll just carry you there."

Rolling her eyes, she let herself lean on Sirius for a bit, "I do not need to be carried...I can walk, it's just a few bruises...i can handle the rest...." While she had been in her 15 year old form her wounds and muscles hadn't hurt, maybe a twinge or two, but other whise she had felt fine, now that she was back in her true form it came back full on.

He grinned. "Just a suggestion, you know," he simply said, pushing open the Hospital Wing doors. The Healer immediately began scolding Sirius, apparently believing he had caused the bruises on Art's body.
"O-oi! I just found her!" He defended, only to be ignored as the nurse whisked Artemis away to a bed.

The nurse quickly stripped Artemis of her top, causing her face to turn beat red, and the woman gasped, "How did this happen?" Dark bruises cover her throat,back, shoulder, wrists, stomach and chest. They were just blotches in most areas, the worst was her throat and back.
"Umm, I had a run in with...some vampires, some of Peter's old friends..." The nurse knew of Peter, Artemis had been in here plenty of times even since she graduated, and she quickly thought up a lie, "They were wrestling, and i was too close...and well..."
The woman gasped again, "You poor dear, this must hurt a lot..."
You have no idea. She thought, but smiled, "Not really."
The nurse quickly put some ointment on the bruises, and immediately some of the swelling started to go down, "Bruises should be gone within the next few hours. I don't suggest you walk though, just stay here and res-HEY!"
During the middle of her little talk Artemis pulled her shirt back on and had started heading for the exit, now that her wounds had been treated she could leave...right?
She just hoped Sirius hadn't seen the bruises, how horrible that would be.

Sirius waited behind the curtains, tuned out to the conversation inside. He had chosen to stay behind to skip class, though he sincerely hoped that Art wasn't too badly injured.
"--HEY!"
Sirius jumped at the loud outburst, and saw Artemis slipping between the curtains and heading towards the exit. He followed, silently laughing at how slick Art seemed to be.
"Hey!" He caught up with her. "Are you alright?" He asked.

Smiling at him, "Of course I'm alright. They were just bruises. They should go away within the next few hours, I'll be back to normal in now time at all." Until then i have to suffer the ache of jello legs and the burning in my shoulders and on my back.
Reaching the doors, she had her hand ready to push open into the freedom, when her head started pounding.
Hand freezing in place, she quickly brought then to her head How are you doing Artemis? My men say you tasted pretty good. I miss your taste. Might have to stop by sometime soon to say hi. It was him, Turner. The dark angel that had captured and tortured Artemis all those years ago.
A yelp left her lips, her head pounding more, her eyes screwed shut, "Leave me alone." She pleaded.
Hearing him laugh she winced Scared Artemis? You should be. Because it's been awhile since my last feeding...I think you know what that means...See you soon Arty The headache quickly went away when Turner left her thoughts.
Hands trembling a bit, she realized that those men who attacked her had been working for Turner?
Would she never escape him?
