Artemis was taken back, gaping at such a scene and not knowing what to say or do. This was a most unusual and horrid day for her, but when the librarian came running out, he suddenly let out a sharp cry.
"What is this nonsense!? What is going on here!?" And he approached the guards all red-faced and when they explained to Obert that the man had been talking back, Obert grew furious, and even angrier when he spotted Artemis nearby.
"If you are to blame ANYONE, it was this woman! She had upset our patron and it is only natural he would be enraged! Seems to me her antics have continued with her onto the streets!"
Artemis, offended, took a step back as she stared at her 'former' boss, appalled.
"How dare you blame this on me! I would never be so foolish as to talk back to the guards! Even if I were angry and I-"
"Just hold up your bickering, you two." And the man turned from Artemis back to the librarian. "Now what are you going on about, sir?"
"This woman, RIGHT HERE!" he said, nearly spitting his words as he jabbed his fingers in the air at her accusingly. "SHE is the reason for this man being so upset! She threw books at him, ripped his pants, then rushed off and left him high and dry without the book he requested after I fired her!"
And it was in that moment the large guards turned to face her. Beneath their hulking gaze, she cowered and felt a knot form in her throat.
"Is that true, Miss?"
"I... well... It... no, no.. well, not all of it and I.. well he..."
But no matter how muhc she babbled, Obert went on a tirade and before Artemis knew it, she was thrown against the nearby fountain and her hands forced ebhind her back and cuffed.
"BUT I DIDN'T! DO ANYTHING!" Came her calls from inside the cell, after both she and Caelwyn were thrown into it. "You must believe me! PLEASE!" But the guards only laughed at her.
"You'll spend at least a week in here for your time if you keep that up. Now shut up while we right up this report!"
Cringing, Artemis leaned into the cell bars. Oh boy, what a mess she was in! How was she to fix this!? How could she even get out of here!?
