A/N: Hello. I know I said that this wouldn't be up here for a few days, but I am SO bored! Oh, and I just looked at my traffic for Deceit. 896 people have gone to that story. I feel so loved. =P
BTW, if my utter dislike of Artemis is bothering you, please tell me and I will stop talking about it. ; )
Well, anyway, here's the first chapter of Redemption (In Sam's POV):
I looked at the clock above the stove. 7:28, it read. I sighed and got the eggs out of the Fowl's refrigerator, mixed them into a bowl with milk, and put them on the stove to cook.
"Good morning," said a groggy voice behind me.
I looked away from the oven to see a rugged-looking Artemis walking down the stairs. I smiled at him and said, "Hi, Artemis. Have a seat, the eggs are almost done."
He did as I said, saying, "You know that you don't necessarily have took cook for us."
"Do you not like my cooking?" I said playfully, walking over to sit next to him.
"No, actually, you are a marvelous cook… for someone that doesn't eat."
I rolled my eyes. I knew I wasn't the best cook in the world, but…
"Is something burning?" asked Artemis.
My eyes widened as the scent drifted into my nostrils. The eggs! I got up and ran to the stove, where I was greeted by a cloud of smoke.
I grabbed the handle of the skillet and yelped as it burned my hand. Ow…ow…ow…ow….
After running over to the island in the middle of the kitchen, I dropped the hot metal skillet. I saw Artemis appear behind me with a cup of water, so I moved out of the way. He poured the cool liquid onto my burning eggs and chuckled.
I smirked and said, "It was your fault. You distracted me.
"Yes, right, Sam. Just keep telling yourself that," he said, grinning teasingly.
"I wi-" I started.
"Artemis! Sam, Are you two alright?" Angeline's voice trilled.
"We smelled smoke!" Mr. Fowl said at the same time.
"Sorry. I was making breakfast, then Artemis came downstairs and started talking to me," I said.
"I did not," Artemis said, smiling. "You started talking to me!"
I punched him lightly in the shoulder. "Either way, you distracted me from my cooking."
He shook his head, dismissing the subject.
"I'll start more eggs," said Mrs. Fowl.
"I'll go change," said Artemis.
"And I'll go help Artemis change," I said, a naughty glint in my eye.
Both of his parents looked at me strictly.
"I'm just kidding," I said, winking. I had made jokes like these since they told me 'the rules'. I couldn't sleep in Artemis' room, I couldn't go near Artemis' room at night, etc. I had promised them that I wouldn't break these rules, but I went to his room every night that I wasn't out hunting; we had a lot to discuss about the fairies.
Artemis rolled his eyes once again, and walked up the stairs, leaving me alone with his mom and dad.
