Fire Goddess 2-Hero In Training Chapter 12...I think...or is it Chapter 11.....

Disclaimer: I only own Siren, the Rio Vanesco, the Rose Marquee and Car'Khl. And Lime Green. Oops! Lime Green is in Fire vs. Ice! Sorry....

Hi guys I'm back! I decided to write another chapter cause Ladeda bugged me to death. But I'll have you know I am writing this AFTER I ate, AFTER I did my homework, AFTER I listened to a CD, AFTER I practiced my guitar (for like, 30 seconds cause I got a callus on my right hand. OUCH!) and AFTER I ate a Fruit Roll Up.

Before I start my chapter I wanna mention 2 things (Sorry, no review replies today..)

Numero uno- (#1) Um..well.. I want to thank those of you who stood up for me in that whole bashing site think. But I want to thank those of you that DIDN'T stick up for me even more for not making things worse.

I did. I overreacted. I flamed her. I called her everything in the book. (Almost cause I didn't wanna get in trouble) But I got about 20 negative feedback messages. I gave up. If you get neg. Feedback ignore it and don't reply. Trust me.

I don't want them to trash you guys. That would be bad. Just type your name in a search engine every now and then to be safe.

ON WITH NUMERO DOS! THE FUN STUFF!

I'm holding polls! I want to get to know you better so just tell me the answers you want-(And PLEASE try and be completely serious AND honest)

What is the best song to partner dance with out of these?

'Music' by Madonna 'Objection' by Shakira 'Days go by' (you know, that car commercial with the woman moving her arms all funny and stuff?) 'Fighter' by Christina Agulaira 'Start the Fire' by No Doubt (I like this one the best but your opinion is your own.)

ONWARD~

Opal Koboi walked through the tunnels, face hidden underneath a long cloak. (a/n ha ha...still in suspense about Holly...a ha..)

She had been roaming underground for about one month now, freezing whoever did not give her food and threatening the lives of unfortunate elves who didn't give her directions. (phew, now we are in the same time periods so as she is walking Trouble is being thrown into a cake or something like that)

Opal was now about 349 miles outside of Haven city. She would have to work faster to get to Holly. Her senses told her that the blockhead Car'Khl had still not killed her.

Live had been hard for the past week or so. Opal had entered a very rural area and people were becoming scarce. That meant little food, little shelter, and little water.

Oh WHY did she hire Car'Khl! One simple job-shoot the girl and leave. But then again that Mud Boy had to go all noble. But he was dead meaning Short was on her own...

Opal grinned wickedly. Maybe Car'Khl's slipups were good. More chances to kill Holly herself. And to Opal, that would be an honor.

RIO VANESCO

"Car'Khl, my man, she is surely dead by now. I watched the tape. She escaped the cuffs and now she will be ripped apart by the beast." Siren said coolly, lowering his cowboy hat.

Car'Khl was now changed into an elf. He was not amused. "Why didn't you just kill her when you had the chance? She has those boys with her and she has Hephaestus's Gift."

Siren sighed. "You must see it my way. Either way she will die. My creature has no effect to fire. And I doubt those boys will be of help."

That's what he thought.

KRACKEN CHAMBER

"Holly!" Trouble screamed and he and Artemis ran to her. She was under the monster's head and was trying to get out.

Artemis and Trouble tried to pull her out but it was no use. They would have to lift the creature off of her.

"Are you all right?" Artemis asked.

"I'm underneath a giant sea serpent and one of it's fangs is digging into my side." She gritted her teeth a shuddered in pain a bit. "Do you think I'm all right?"

Trouble bent back the Kracken's head a bit to show that a fang had totally punctured Holly's hip. There was blood coating her side. Red sparks were jumping around but not quick enough.

"Listen Mud Boy, you're going to have to help me lift it off of her." Trouble snapped. But there was a hint of worry in his voice.

Artemis immediately obeyed, going beside Trouble and tried to lever the Kracken. It rised about an inch before they could hold it know more. Holly took advantage of that inch and got her hips free so she could sit up. She tried to but cried out in pain at the fang in her side.

And this is how it went for the next few minutes. Finally, Holly was free. Now all they had to do was heal her wound.

Artemis grasped the fang. He would pull it out and Trouble would use his magic to heal Holly, being that she was running low.

"1....2.....3!" Artemis said and ripped the tooth out of Holly's flesh. She grimaced and Trouble placed both hands on her side and sent his magic pulsing through his fingertips. Holly fainted after the fang was removed so she didn't notice.

The blood was started disappearing and her wound began to close. Her legs and arms jerked through the healing but Artemis steadied them. After many minuets of healing, the wound finally closed and left a giant scar across her left hip.

Trouble sighed in relief and slumped down a wall. He would be worn out for quite a while. He barely had any magic left.

"Well done. Holly will be proud." Artemis said and stepped over.

"I get it from my dad I guess. He was always brave in a time of peril."

"Was?" asked Artemis.

"Yes. He was murdered two days after Holly's old man. My mother almost got sliced but she escaped. She would not tell us who the killer was. By now she has forgotten who it was. That's why Grub and I stay with her. A little crazy, you know."

Artemis nodded in grief. He almost knew what it was like not to have a father. Almost.

"Grub?" he asked. "That name sounds familiar."

Trouble laughed. His laugh seemed fun and encouraging. Like a teen who hit a strike and his friend only knocked down one of the pins.

"Yeah, my kid brother. Forty years younger actually. Butler let him go?"

Artemis smiled. "Oh yes, now I remember. The shrimpy elf who got stuck in a bush?"

"That's him. Saw it on camera huh?"

Artemis nodded.

Holly was beginning to regain consciousness. She stood up.

"Hi guys. Pizza come yet?" With that, she fainted again.

A/N-Long chapter! Long Chapter! YEAH!

Okay so Holly is free, Car'Khl is mad and Opal wants to kill something. Got that, good!

Update soon!
