AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hello! This is my first fanfiction, and while I appreciate constructive criticism, please, don't flame. To copy a fav author of mine, Thanksies!
"Oh Artemis... Where have you gone?" Holly asked of the pale, sleeping, now weak boy, not really expecting an answer. She slowly stood up, walked over to his bedside, and brushed a strand of his raven-colored hair out of his eyes. She ached for him to get better, ached. "Arty, we need you! Really you, not some sappy alter personality! I need you!"
She jumped as Butler walked into the room, his enormous figure dominating the small-ish area. "Holly? You all right?" The dejected elf looked up and nodded. "Me? I'm fine. But Arty's not. When will he get better, Butler?!" Artemis's now-gloomy bodyguard shrugged half-heartedly. "Holly. I refuse to believe that you are fine. The shadows under your eyes betray the fact that you are exhausted, and depressed. Get some rest." The poor elf sat down heavily in the nearest chair. "Butler, I can't. What if Artemis wakes up while I'm gone?" She argued. "Holly, it'll be fine. I promise I'll wake you up if he does, okay?" The doleful, dejected LEP Recon officer sighed. "Allright," she grudgingly agreed.
Butler sighed mournfully. "Artemis what have you got into this time?" He stared at the almost vampirically-pale mastermind. "My friend, come back to me, I beg you."
Meanwhile, Artemis was dreaming. Most of his reveries involved glowing red fours, and another boy, another look-alike. Orion. How can I see you? Artemis thought. Well, I don't know for sure, but I think that you're dreaming me, so we may converse, Orion responded. Oh, wonderful, was Artemis's following, sarcastic comment. Be glad, you're sarcasm is noted and discarded, said the sappy alter. How are you a part of me again? You are much to sappy for my tastes. Orion scowled. Must I remind you again? I am a collection of all the emotions you regularly suppress. Thats bad for you, you know. Artemis glared at the other boy. Since when are you a psychologist? Artemis cynically inquired. Since I started listening to the good doctor Argon, was the 'snappy' retort. Artemis and Orion jumped as the mind office they resided in when neither was active lurched. Artemis, I believe our shared body is ready to wake. This comment induced a fierce struggle to jump into (or is that out of?)the mind screen. Eventually, Artemis managed to leap into the void of darkness, and was received a pounding headache as his consciousness returned to his physical body.
Butler almost leaped through the ceiling when he heard a weak groan from his principle. "Artemis?! Is that really you?!" The weak boy moaned once more before replying."Butler? My dear friend... How wonderful to look apon your face once more." Butler shuddered at the thought of Artemis's alter, Orion. "Artemis? Is it you?" Butler inquired hesitantly. "Oh course, Dom." The bodyguard visibly winced at the use of his given name. Suddenly, he jumped. "Oh! I was supposed to get Holly if you awoke! I'll be right back!"
