Never Go Back- Butler
summary- Artemis's death was just a few days ago, yet Butler still refuses to let go.
The man known as Butler stood before a window looking out onto the pouring rain. Butler. Just over a week ago, his name had made him proud, now it made him feel like a failure. He was a Butler, he was supposed to protect things- not destroy them. A week ago, he would thought that he could have fought the entire world- if he wished it. Now... now he felt as if everything he had ever known had been all a lie.
Everyone kept telling him that it wasn't his fault that Artemis died but he knew better. It was entirely his fault. He had been the one sleeping whenever his charge had been planning to sacrifice his life! He had been the one who had vowed to protect Artemis from the day that he had been born! And he hadn't even had been able to do just that!
Continuing to look out onto the grounds of Fowl Manor, Butler could see the two outlines of Mr. and Mrs. Fowl, who both looked as if they were trying to drown themselves in the rain. All at once Butler felt a pang of guilt in his stomach. They had been acting like this ever since they had learned of their son's death.
Butler looked away from the window. He couldn't bear to face people, feeling as if they could sense of his failure. His sister was the worst one, because she knew how much Artemis's death had effected him, and she everytime she looked at him she had an expression of pity on her face.
Butler shook his head. He couldn't keep thinking like this. Artemis was not gone. It wasn't over. Somehow, someway, Artemis would find his way back.
Butler just had to keep holding on until then.
