Sacrifices
Chapter 1
Artemis stared out the window at a brisk, dark sky. It was 4:00 in the morning. He had been piloting for an entire hour. Sleep hung behind the sapphire irises that beheld his eyes. He was in deep thought. He had never felt this way. I'm a genius, he thought, How can I feel like this, it's torture, I act like an idiot when I see Holly, those mismatched eyes, caramel skin, and slim curves of her bo-
"Dammit!" he blurted out. He looked around the cabin. Admit it you moron, you're in love.
"Shut the hell up!" he roared, again. Rrgh, I can't deny it, I have fallen in love, everything proves it, after the kiss, that's all I have thought about. Artemis gritted his teeth, I'll have to tell her sometime, but when?
Artemis arrived at his destination, Tara Shuttle Port. Artemis walked onto the loading bay and ducked under the shuttle. He opened a hatch that led to a circuitry. He inserted a metal filament into a groove. The cargo bay opened. He jumped inside. The shuttle roared it's fiery engines and gained altitude. It sped forward at 160mph and Artemis had no trouble standing. He had been working out as a recommendation from Butler and the results were impressive. He could bench 150lbs at most. His lean muscles made him agile and nimble. He also learned a few fighting techniques such as being able to knock someone out with one strike, pressure points, and overall self defense.
The shuttle landed and Artemis could feel the steam rush over him. He threw on the prepared cam foil and left. In Haven, there was a complex series of routes and roads, this was a simple child's maze to him. He maneuvered his way to his primary objective, a house that belonged to a well known accommodate of him. He arrived at the door and knocked. He then quickly got on the roof and jumped through a window on the roof. He sat down an the nearest couch. The figure was out the door, searching for whoever knocked on her door with a confused face. She shrugged and walked into the living room and jumped up with a slight gasp.
"Hello Holly." he inquired.
"How the hell?" she said, surprised. He pointed up with his vampiric smirk.
"Sun window, poor security I must say." She punched him in the arm playfully. Artemis did not move. Holly was surprised, for she had expected him to hold at the punch. She forgot the issue and sat down next to him.
"So, how have you been?" she asked. Artemis gave her a dark look.
"Nothing to important, that is however, I do have some news though, not pleasant I might add. Never mind, don't worry about it, you'll learn later." Holly was puzzled and eager to know what he had to say.
"Arty, please tell me, you can tell me anything, look I'll tell you something if you tell me." she pleaded. Artemis made a slight indication of a grimace but kept it under control.
"Well, I'd like to hear first." he inquired.
"Well, Foaly developed a mind-cam. It is a microscopic camera with HD color quality, enhanced sound, and you can control it with your mind, all the footage is transported to your head alone." she proclaimed. Artemis raised his eyebrows. Impressive. He thought
Now, it's your turn Arty"
She used my pet name, typical, but, I like it.
"Well, there is no easy way to put it,...Opal has escaped."
Holly turned ghost white and almost passed out. She clutched her heart like it was going to jump out. No..no, not again. She thought. Artemis felt bile arise into his mouth, Ugh, here we go again.
"How come I didn't hear first?" she demanded. Artemis was very stressed and had no earthly idea how to explain the concepts
"The LEP thought I ought to hear all of the inside information, the details, and give you the basics. She escaped the prison after a man named Shipe Mathewss, broke her out." Holly again, turned ghost white. Shipe Mathewss was known for the maniacal mind and extreme strength he had. When the police arrived at the scene, The found piles of broken bodies. Holly's color returned.
"That is extremely disturbing. Artemis, we can't win this one, with her intellect and his strength, we have lost. is there an infiltration operation in order?" Artemis nodded.
"You, Butler, Mulch, Juliet, Me, and Grub Kelp are on the infiltration squad. Trouble Kelp will be leading the recon and retrieval forces in case something goes wrong. Yes, I have a plan."
Sorry, might be a little short and a bit fast for the storyline, but it will get much larger. I ask for honest reviews. If I like what I see, then I will continue the story. If you don't reflect positively, then I will take your advice and end it. Please review, and I am telling you, there is so much plot in the future story.
