Okay, I am well aware that Artemis is out of character. And if I really cared he wouldn't be. But I don't care, so he is! Suck on that for a while. And I don't care if you don't want Tessa and Arty to be together and you want Holly and Trouble to switch partners with them. So there. Write your own god damn story. This is MINE. I am god. I can do whatever I damn well want to.

Thank you for listening to my rant of rage for those of you who weren't offended by said rant, thank you for reading my story, which, sadly, is almost done. About 10 more at the most. Also to Rox and Sox, your reviews always make me laugh, lol. And yes, I am babbling. Mostly as a space filler because even though this chappie is important, it's short. Pathetically short…

The magma boiled underneath the thick layer of ice/rock. It hadn't frozen all the way through. Steam pushed against the block, the magma trying to find some way out. And it did.

Holly's tunnel.

The red hot liquid ran through the hole, devouring everything in it's path.

Opal looked up from her fingernails. "What's that?" she asked. Then she caught sight of something. A hole was crumbling in her wall. And red-orange magma was spilling out.
"WHAT?!! NO!! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!"

She ran to the doors, frantically trying to open them. A recording popped up on the screen. "Oh but it is Opal. Good bye." Artemis's steely voice said, and his image smirked, then disappeared from the screen.

Her screams of agony echoed through the caves. That was all that was left of Opal Koboi. She was finally gone...this time for good.

Artemis raced through the tunnels until he reached the one he wanted. He ran into the fairy terminal, causing chaos, but not caring. Tessa. She was in there. She couldn't be dead.

He ran over to the doors of the chute, and grabbed a pair of Hummingbirds that were left unattended. He started them up and dove down into the chute. The wings kicked in and slowed him down. Very gently he landed on the frozen surface and slid over to the equally frozen shuttle.

"no.." He whispered. Her hands were as cold as the ice he stood on, and her lips were slowly turning blue. His hands shook and he smashed his fists against the shuttle." NO!" he shouted, his eyes and teeth clenched shut. She shouldn't be dead! It defied everything! All of his calculations had been wrong from the start. For the first time in his life, he had been completely wrong. Tears leaked out of his blue eyes and splashed onto the shuttle's metal side.

A small sound came from Tessa. Artemis' head snapped up and he stared.

"Ow...my head..." she moaned, and sat up.

"Tessa." he breathed, and stared at me.

I was completely oblivious to him as my hands explored the top of my head. "Oh great! A lump!" I said, throwing my hands into the air. "Just MARVELOUS!" I scowled.

Artemis flung his arms around me, pulling me off of the shuttle, the metal that bound me now as brittle as crackers. I was so shocked I didn't say anything.

"you almost died…and your complaining about a lump on your head." He laughed through tears.

"er..." I said, confused. Was that really the afterlife...? I blinked. No. Couldn't be.

I full heartedly hugged Artemis back. "You did it." I whispered.
"You saved them again."

He smiled, and planted a soft kiss on my lips.

Did you really think she was dead?

God that'd be horrible….xD ahahaha okay well anywhos I'll shut up now and let you review it if ya wanna.

Damn my grammar sucksstares at horrible grammar.
