Out-Casts Chapter One: Daughter

Holly sighed and grabbed her child to keep him from running away from her again. She picked the little black haired child up off the ground and sat her on her lap. Two little hazel eyes peered up at her, blinked and then the girl snuggled up into her mother's chest.

"I loves you mommy." She held her mommy's hand and got down off her lap. "Come over here with me!" She ran off still clutching Holly's hand. She paused when Holly made no move to get up. "Come on mommy!" Holly sighed; she'd never stop asking her to come until she did.

"Ok honey, but once you've showed me whatever it is, we've got to go home." She followed her six-year-old child around the park bathrooms and gasped when she saw who was sitting not twenty feet from them with a laptop and a huge bodyguard.

"Mommy, what's the matter? Did you step on something?" Her child asked sincerely wondering why her mommy had gasped.

"Yes hon, I did." She lied. "Now what was it you wanted to show me?"

"He's right there! He seems cool mommy! He was talking about fairies and stuff like that! I want him to be my daddy! Not that guy you have come over sometimes. I don't like him. He's mean and he smells funny." Holly smiled at her daughter's outspoken-ness.

"Well, did you get close enough to smell him? Maybe he smells funny too. And he might be mean. Just because he talks about fairies doesn't mean he's nice." She stared intently at the young man.

"Can I go meet him, mommy? Then maybe he'll give me candy like he did to those other kids who talked to him. That means he's nice, too, mommy!" Holly blinked. He was giving out candy? He must've changed a lot since the last time she ever saw him.

"Well," She thought hard, if he was giving out candy, something must've happened to him to change him and maybe it would be ok. "I think we can go talk to him."

Artemis was out in the sun for the third time this week. He didn't know why, he just felt like there was some reason he should sit in the park and look things up about fairies and talk about to Butler. He felt a tap on his knee and looked up from his laptop. A small boy was standing in front of him smiling.

"I suppose you want a piece of candy don't you?" He smiled generously at the boy, who nodded. "Alright then, I think you've been a good boy and one little piece of candy won't spoil you dinner will it?" The boy shook his head vigorously. "Here you go!" He handed the boy a piece of saltwater taffy.

"Oh thank you, sir! Thanks a lot!" The boy ran off to play again. Artemis smiled and went back to work. About five minutes later he was startled again. A young girl was sitting next to him and he hadn't even noticed. He glanced at her and was surprised to see black hair framing a very cute face with very familiar hazel eyes. She smiled and pointed to the screen.

"My mommy told me fairies are real! It's cool that you can find them on there." She smiled a winning smile. Artemis chuckled at the girl's happy ness.

"Well, your mommy was right. They do exist and here's proof! Do you like candy?" He asked her. She nodded. "Have you been a good girl today?" She nodded more vigorously. "Do you want some candy?" She nodded hesitantly.

"I should ask my mommy first though." She jumped off the ledge and turned to Artemis. "Mister, are you married?" Artemis smiled and shook his head. "I like you mister. I want you to be my daddy." Artemis blinked as the child ran off to get her mother's permission.

"That was a bit unexpected." Butler said amusedly from behind him. "Very cute child that one. She reminded me of someone."

"Me too…" Artemis said wistfully. He went back to work and about five minutes later was interrupted yet again by the little girl.

"Hey mister! My mommy says it's ok! And she's here to meet you!" Artemis looked up and the girl and her mother and drew in a sharp breath. She was here and that was her child…but why was she in the world of humans and not with her people? He smiled, completely at a loss of words, for once in his life.

"Good." He said rather awkwardly, trying not to meet eyes with Holly. "What's your favorite flavor?"

"Cherry!" She cried out.

"Here you go." He handed her a cherry hard candy. "be very careful not to swallow this."

"Ok!" The girl turned back to her mother. "See? I told ya he's nice!"

"Yes you did, Amber." Holly kissed her daughter's forehead. "Look over there, there's Billy from your day-care. Why don't you go play with him?" Her daughter smiled and ran off. Holly turned to Artemis with a curious expression on her face. "Well, fancy meeting you here. Amber came to me and told me she found a nice man who was giving out candy. I didn't expect she was talking about you."

"Times change a boy into a man Holly. I've changed a lot lately."

"And how are you Butler? Your chest okay?" The manservant smiled and nodded. "Hey now Butler can't you talk to an old friend?"

"I'm feeling fine Holly. Thank you for asking."

"Did you plan on asking any more questions?" Artemis asked quietly. "I have a few for you."

"Be my guest."

"Why aren't you with your people? How old is your adorable daughter? And who's the father that didn't stay with his family?"

"The first question I'll answer in good time, and I can answer the last two with one sentence. Our daughter is six."

Josco: Hmmm… not what I expected… I just love typing and seeing what happens.
