Disclaimer: I do not own Artemis, Holly or Butler. But I do own the
"shadow." Read on and you'll know what I am talking about.
A/N: Okai.. I received some help from a good friend with the chapter because I couldn't find a way to describe the scene properly.
Everything happened really quickly, Holly's eyes widened as she saw a shadow suddenly materialize in thin air in front of her. It raised its hand and in it was a slick smooth gun, aimed right at her forehead. At that same instance, Artemis leaned slightly to the right, blocking her vision.
A shot exploded loudly and Artemis jerked forward, a flash of pain enveloped his features before his eyes slid shut and he collapsed on top of her. The shadow disappeared.
Butler watched in disbelief as the scene was displayed on the monitors. He bolted out of the room at full speed as his employer fell unconscious onto the fairy.
The first thing he saw was blood. Rich red blood spattered all over the floor and smeared all over pale skin and dark hair.
"Artemis!"
Butler scooped the boy genius into his arms and his lips curled into a feral snarl. "You have hell to pay fairy, if he dies."
He strode to the door but stopped at the frame and turned around. "Stay," he hissed.
"No wait!"
"What now?"
Holly took a deep breath. "The bullet was meant for me. I can heal him."
Butler frowned and narrowed his eyes, carefully depositing his cargo onto the floor. "Any funny stuff, any at all, and this," he gestured to himself and his concealed weapons, "Will explode in your head."
Holly stepped forward briskly and laid her hands across Artemis' shoulders. The familiar tingling feeling rushed down her fingers and blue sparks danced across his body.
His entire being jolted as his system rechecked it's functions and the wound slowly closed over. Beads of sweat formed on Holly's forehead and she broke contact abruptly as he continued to drain her magic. Nothing was wrong with him now. But Artemis didn't wake.
"Well fairy? What have you done to him?" the manservant demanded.
"I don't know," Holly muttered, clutching her temples, "He was supposed to wake."
Suddenly Artemis' eyelids fluttered and Holly sighed in relief. Her vision suddenly blurred and spun. The blackness closed in.
