Summary: This is a one-shot, for now, that after TTP. This story is more of the kind that you, the reader, can decide the beginning, end, or both, so I am willing to hear some suggestions. Since this is my first time posting ever, I would appreciate it if you give constructive criticism, not flamers. Thank you!
With a blast, the boulders above the cave came tumbling down, blocking Holly in.
Outside, Artemis watched in horror, as one by one, the rocks ell, blocking the entrance. He scrambled to his feet, running up to the now closed cave.
"No!" shouted Artemis.
Furiously, he began digging, pushing the boulders out of the way. Butler came to his senses first and rushed to Artemis, pulling him away.
"No!" Artemis shouted again.
He tried to get out of Butler's grip, squirming and twisting, all the while with tears running down his face.
"Let me go, Butler!"
But Butler ignored him, holding onto Artemis.
"No," whispered Artemis, flashbacks of Abbot killing Holly flashing through his mind.
"Don't die, Holly," Artemis whispered. "Don't die… not again."
Trouble, Foaly, Mulch, and Butler whipped their heads to look at him.
"What do you mean 'again'?" Foaly asked.
"Answer the question, Mud Boy!" shouted Trouble when he didn't answer the question.
But Artemis wasn't listening. His brain was thinking of ways to get the cave open. Looking around, he saw No 1 practicing his magic, moving little pebbles around and shooting them to pieces. Artemis ran and grabbed No 1 by his shoulders.
"No 1, I want you to transfer some of your magic to me, okay?" he asked.
No 1 nodded his head. Following Artemis, he stood across from the boulders, facing it. Taking his hand, No 1 transferred some magic to Artemis. As Artemis felt the magic, it reminded him of the time they had saved Hybras, which then reminded him of Holly. Lifting a single hand, he focused his now gained magic at the boulders. With a loud boom, the boulders in front of the cave blew apart, and a cloud of dust filled the air.
