Haaaaai peoples of FF! So the other day, I got a very nice email from Tigerliliy00780 who asked if Juliet would make an appearance. Well, that sparked the idea for this chapter, so here you go! Also-and let me know if I'm being rude by saying this-Please don't be a silent reader! It's hard to judge what people might like or not like about this story. I can't know unless you guys tell me! And no, I HATE THIS STORY OMG CHLOE IZ SUC A MARY SUE LIK DELET THIS U SUK is not considered constructive criticism. And reviews occasionally give me ideas like this one!
Ok, all I wanted to say. Carry on.

Juliet was in the dojo, beating up a dummy, when Butler walked in. She grabbed a towel from the floor nearby.

"Hey, Dom. Any change in Artemis?" He shook his head.

"No. He's been in his office meditating for three hours now. Even locked the door. This isn't like him. Well, the meditating is. But this strange...fixation, on something that could have just been a dream." Juliet took a quick sip of her waterbottle.

"First of all, brother. If Artemis dreams at all-which I doubt-he dreams about gold. Well, Gold and Holly." She winked. Butler snorted, as he usually did before delivering a deadpan line.

"If Artemis does dream, he dreams of his latest scheme. Although he does keep a picture of Holly on his desk." He added as an afterthought.

"Yeah, I know. Back to my point-I doubt it was a dream. Besides, Holly believes him, and claims to remember this Chloe herself. Don't you trust the Captains judgement? And anyways, she knows Artemis better than we do. Better than anybody."

And as much as it irked him, Butler had to concede to that point.

Chloe

This time, I woke on what looked like a hospital bed. Something red was smeared across my arm. It was streaky and flaky, suggesting someone had tried to wipe it off. It wasn't blood, because it was too thin and also because I didn't seem to be bleeding anywhere. I groaned.

"What is going on?" Just then, a figure appeared in the doorway. I had to squint against the bright lights to see, until he stepped closer and came into focus.

"You." I gasped.

"Yes, me." Merv replied.

"What do you want?" I demanded angrily. The wavy blue line on the machine next to my bed slowly started climbing. "You're not evil, Koboi was! You were just under her thumb. But she's dead! You're not a bad person!" Merv grinned.

"Maybe. Scant!" Scant appeared in the doorway.

"Yeah?" Merv beckoned him over.

"What do you make of that?" He asked, pointing to the wavy line, which had started to stabilize and stop climbing. They exchanged a look, then Merv grinned.

"We've just gotten word about Artemis. He's dead." I gasped.

"What? No. I don't believe you." The blue line started climbing very rapidly. Merv sighed.

"Not to worry. Your boyfriend is completely fine. We need to go tell the boss about this."

"You're right." Scant agreed, and they both walked out, leaving me to wonder.

Who is 'the boss'?

No.

Surely not.

It can't be.

Not even she could cheat death.

Right?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH I'M SOOOOOO EEEEEEVVVVIIIIIILLLLLLLL!

Anyways, review please! :D
