Here's more. Sorry for the long wait. And to everyone. Thank you for the
compliments and the constructive criticism. Seems I'm doing somewhat okay.
That's cool. Anyways, enough of my babbling on with the story!
Chapter Five
Anne Marie had to jog to keep up with the long strides this man took. And before she could stop herself, she was nervously rambling again," You know that's it is really illegal to hold me prisoner in there? I mean, what's wrong with you people? Especially accusing me of being a witch? Man, that was messed up. And that Artemis kid? Yeah, I suggest some serious therapy-"
"We have," replied Butler," Tried all the best therapists money can find. They just can't get through, Artemis has too much fun messing with their heads."
There was silence after this until," Well that explains the whole leave-me- in-the-white-room-to-rot-or-die-of-starvation thing."
Butler stopped at a room and asked," Do you come from American descent?"
Anne Marie was taken aback by the question," Uh.I did live there for a couple years before I moved back to the orphanage."
Butler nodded and said," I thought so. Here is your room," and left her there.
IOh, gee. Thanks mister for being polite./I
Anne Marie walked into the room and gasped," Oh my god."
The room was magnificent, at least for her. It looked like the fancy hotels she'd seen on the television. Anne Marie smiled and said to herself," Maybe it won't be so bad being hostage to this particular guy."

Juliet knocked on the office door and entered when she heard," Come in."
Artemis was sitting at his computer working, again.
"Artemis, didn't we tell you-"
"I'm sorry Juliet. I can't, I'm afraid. Too much work to be done."
Juliet frowned then walked away. A few minutes later Artemis heard another person enter and he said," I'm sorry. But work is too-"
But he stopped mid-sentence as he saw the witch standing there looking very scared.
"Oh," said the witch," um.the nice girl who works for you told me to.uh, get aquainted with you."
Artemis said nothing, but did stand up and try to open the door. Nothing.
He banged on the door and said," Juliet! Juliet! Let me out! Why are you doing this to me? Juliet? Juliet?"
Anne Marie found this kind of funny and started giggling but quickly stopped as Artemis rounded on her.
"And what, pray tell, is so funny?"
Anne Marie took a deep breath and said defiantly," That you're so bad your employees have to get you to communicate with people by locking you up with them in your computer office."
Artemis scowled at the girl and said," That is not the reason."
"Whatever you say buddy."
Artemis sighed in defeat. He'd have to put up with her. So he decided to break down the rules for her.
"There are rules in my office witch-"
"Anne Marie."
"Excuse me," replied Artemis.
"You called me 'witch'. I just wanted you to know, that I Ido/I have a name Arty."
Artemis felt his nerves getting put through the ultimate test. He took a deep cleansing breath. It helped, it helped a lot.
"Of course.Anne. First rule: Do not. I repeat, Do not call me by any nicknames such as-"
"Arty?"
Another breath," Yes. Arty. Rule #2: Do not disturb me during my work. Rule #3: Do not talk to me, pester me or touch me. I think that's it. Is that all clear Miss Davis?"
Anne Marie stared at him in disbelief. Who did this guy think he was? The freakin boss of her? No way was she going to stand around taking orders from the most snobbiest guy she'd ever met.
"Excuse me, Artemis. But what am I supposed to do? Sit in a corner curled up in a ball? No way. The whole reason that nice girl out there put me in here was-" she walked over to his computer station and put her hand on the plug," because I, unlike you, are normal. And I, unlike you, will be teaching a snobby brat like yourself to be a real 16 year old guy!" And with that she tugged on the plug and it popped out of the outlet. All the computer screens went black.
Artemis stood there shocked for two seconds before," How dare you! How dare you do that! Do you know how much research you just lost?"
Anne Marie took no concern," Awww, so sad, too bad. Now off to get you dressed."
Artemis was already irritated when he snarled," I am dressed. In case you're blind."
Anne Marie walked over to him and grabbed him by the arm, she had a surprisingly strong grip, and started dragging him towards the room, Juliet had pointed out, that was his.
"I know you're dressed but there is no way a guy your age would actually wear that type of stuff. Honestly, I don't know why no one has ever told you this before, but your fashion sense sucks."
This was followed by silence due to the fact Artemis couldn't believe this was happening.
--------------------------+---------------------------------------+--------- ----------------------------
Artemis emerged from his closet looking very disgruntled. He was wearing the most casual of his clothes, even they were nice, and Anne Marie smiled.
"There we go. You look somewhat normal. We'll have to get you some cool casual clothes tomorrow."
Artemis looked to her from the mirror," What is going to happen tomorrow?"
Anne Marie replied non-chalantly," Just going to the mall."
Artemis' eyes widened in fear. He'd always hated large shopping places such as that.
Anne Marie smiled and replied," Or you could always stay here sitting on your prissy little butt and wait for me to come back with the clothes II/I choose."
Artemis mentally debated the pros and cons of each and decided, it would be best to accompany the girl. He didn't know what sort of stunt she might pull. So he replied to her he would accompany her, and she replied," Good choice Smarty Arty."

Hope this was long enough. Anyways. Buh-bye peoples.
