Authors note: Expect a lot of updates over the holidays because I get novemper twenty-first through the twenty-eighth and December twenty-second through January ninth off. Lucky you, you got an extra long chapter. One that I am proud of. Technically. But let's not get into technicalities.

Disclaimer: I do not own The Shadow, I do not own Lut, RI, I do not own Tie, I do not own the Kreepy Kerls. I do not own. Oh! *T.V announcer voice * THIS JUST IN *Another T.V announcer guy* WE INTERUPT THIS SPECIAL INTERUPTION TO BRING YOU THE INTERRUPTING COW: MMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! *T.V dude number one* LIKE I WAS SAYING, WE INTERUPT THIS BORING DISCLAIMER TO BRING YOU THE ANNOYING TV DUDE SHOW!!!! *announcer number two* DON'T LISTEN TO HIM, HE IS DELUSIONAL. HE MEANT TO SAY THAT AUTHOR OWNS THE FOLLOWING: LJ, SEVERE LACK OF PLOT, AND SOMETHING ELSE WHICH SHE CANNOT PLACE, HARD AS SHE MAY TRY *dude number one* I WAS GETTING TO THAT!!!!

¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?

All the sudden, the authors eyes lit up in flame. She took out her earplugs, and leaned in and whispered something in Rainruler's ear. He looked surprised, so more than likely she told him to do something horrible. He disappeared in a puff of purple smoke, and reappeared exactly five minutes later with a plastic bag, filled with grey dust. The dust, if the author wrote right (that sounds cool, doesn't it?) and whoever she thought had the gift read right, that bag would kill them all; they call it the Shadow.

Chapter nine:

LJ: *gasp*

Artemis: What?

LJ: Has anyone but me read Inkheart?

Rainruler: *raises hand*

Tie: *Sigh* She meant anyone but the author's personal assistant, oh smart one.

*crickets chirping*

LJ: I'll take that as a no. Okay. I know it's not me. Tie?

Tie: As you may remember, I haven't read the book, oh smart one.

Holly: You know what? You are way too sarcastic.

Tie: Oh yeah? Well my genius has just come up with the most brilliant plan *Tie disappears while rainruler distracts Kate*

All the sudden the author starts sniffing like a dog. Her eyes glow red.she smelled. A REVIEW!!!

Tie: *comes back, trying not to grin madly at his clever, amazingly smart *author: HEY!! I DIDN'T PUT THAT!!! TIE!!!* Okay, his good idea*

The author sat at her computer and grinned evilly. She took the magic keyboard, typed a few things, and a cage appeared. One by one the cage was filled. First a girl appeared (description later) then hundreds of little things that resembled furbies with big ears. The cage then opens slightly for the pale girl with dark hair and dark eyes. Her name was Residential Insanity, RI for short. The author typed: And Arty stood in the center of the stage, most of the Kerles were waiting for the go ahead to eat Artemis, but some had already wandered off and found Juliet, who was a treasure trove of ballpoint pens and lipstick, although they prefer, contrary to popular belief, lip-gloss. Cherry flavored.

The author sat with a gun in her hands, waiting for someone to object. No one does. She thought so. She sat there smiling smugly.

Artemis didn't want to read, but he had the gift and the author was forcing him to(you do NOT, not ever, object to the girl with the gun and control of the Kerls. Wait! What am I saying, no one can control the Kerls... anyhow, like I was saying, you do not object to her ideas.), he had no choice in the matter.

"Then one day, the shadow heard his name being called. It wasn't the evil man Capricorn, oh no, he had been killed. The voice was female, but not the sweet blond female with intentions to save her father and rescue the day that had turned him good, it was a short fiery girl with intentions to kill. He did not want to come, but it was his duty. Slowly he arose, red eyes glowing.." Artemis read over

Seemingly coming out of the ground, an ashy grey figure looked around, utterly confused. The author types furiously. He closed his eyes. Could he still do this?
