I OWN NOTHING BUT THE NITRIX AND SUIT!

May 4th 2009

It has s been a year since I fell into the Time Paradox with Holly. A year since she kissed me. A year since I fell in love with her. It has been a year since I started to work out, and a year since I started to get the tell tale bruises of Cancer. I did tests and research, as did hired doctors of my parents. No doctor can pinpoint what type of cancer I have, nor could I. I have tried creating cure but none have worked. Butler, Juliet and my family know that I am dying. I grow more ill every day.

I have created a chemical, a chemical I call Nitrix, it sustains me, giving me a healthy body and preventing pain, yet I can feel the disease eating away at me. I have created an armband made of a thin metal that injects me with Nitrix every day, once every three hours. If I forget I will become sickly looking and my health will decline rapidly. I don't fear death, yet I fear the unknown. I fear leaving my family and not knowing, not knowing what will happen to them. How will they handle my death?

I have yet to tell Holly or the others and I do not plan on telling them till the end. I do not wish to bring Holly pain, or anyone that may possibly care for me as a friend or comrade though I am sure none but butler and my parents will miss me for long. The twins now four would not remember me for long, which is good. Currently the twins only understand that I am very sick with a sickness they cannot get. They will not morn me for more than a week. I continue to work out when the residence of the house is asleep. The physical activity keeps me from worrying and wasting away mentally, though it only speeds up the process of the disease.

In the day I am forced to stay in the house, though all I want to do is leave. See the sun set and feel the grass. I would rather die now than continue being cooped up. My mother has noticed this as has butler and they have allowed me to start taking small trips outside. I want to see Holly before I die. I want to kiss her once more before my life times out. I want to go on one last adventure, though I would die during it. I have done the tests and I should die within a week, depending on how much exercise I get. Butler is the only one who has found out. My mother and father only know my time is running out.

As I write my thoughts and hopes in this small book, I cannot help but say that though I don't show it you all mean so much to me. Domovoi , I write your name for I know that when you get this book, it wil be, or will have bee, my death. I thank you for your friendship through the years, for your nudges in the right direction and faith in me. I thank those who considered me friend or comrade. Know I am honored to be a part of your lives.

Artemis Fowl the Second

Closing the small book, I slid it into the small hidden pouch on my jacket. These secret pouches are in all of my jackets, so Butler or someone will find this book. I have a will firmly tucked away in it along with other entries. I sighed running a hand through my shoulder length razor cut hair. Sipping my tea i watched the rain fall beyond the window. Butler was the only person I confided my feelings for Holly in. Butler smiled sadly and helped me through my confusion. We both knew that even if Holly loved me as I did her, that the people would not allow it to be, and that a relationship would only end in heart break.

My mother and father were asleep. Butler was downstairs prepping and cleaning his guns as he always does when worried or unsure of what to do. I looked at my ring, the ring that connects me to the fairy world and Holly. "I just want one more adventure. One more chance to forget I am dying on more chance to tell Holly how I feel." As if answering my prayers my ring flashed red. The words "OPAL KOBOI" flashed across the screen and directions on a place I was most likely expected to come. I smiled and ran downstairs towards Butler.

No one would stop me from going.

Butler stood in the kitchen drinking his tea. I skid to a stop before walking into the kitchen. "Butler we are needed."I said showing my ring. He frowned. "Artemis, I know we are friends of the fairy people but they are unaware of your....condition..."

Butler said sadly but sternly. "Butler old friend. I'm going." I said in a cold flat tone. "I would rather die helping someone, and then die in bed which we all know will." Butler winced at the word death.

"Artemis you are not going to die..." he said trying to convince them both."Butler. I'm going. I'm not asking you your opinion, but I'm giving you the option of coming." Butler was taken back at my sudden harshness. He sighed.

"I shall come with you Master Fowl." Artemis nodded. He clicked the small buttons on the ring. "Holly. Butler and I are coming. Were shall we meet?"

I waited a few minutes before the reply came back. "Artemis we are coming to get you, just wait. Ten minutes tops. Be ready."

Hope you all enjoyed. This is really the first story im writting from a guys perspective so go easy on me. PLease no flames just sugestive hits on what I can do to better enhance my fan fic.
