Thank you all for you reviews. One more thing I want to mention for
all of you who didn't notice: Kelly is a guy. Well with that out of the way
lets move on.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------
On her way down to the dining room she stopped off at her room. Artemis picked up the wig on the manikin head by her dresser. Making sure it was on right she then quickly made her way down the grand staircase where Kelly was sitting at the bottom.
Now what way would be the best to scare? Artemis thought. Jump or physic?
Well after much debate she decided on a combination of both. First a poke to the right shoulder and a pounce to the left.
Kelly leaped up with Artemis holding on tight around his neck. After 2 minutes of this he finally realized what had happened and stop dead in his tracks.
"Artemis will you PLEASE GET OFF ME!"
"You didn't say please," sung Artemis, "but I'll get off."
"What happened to your hair?" Kelly had just noticed the auburn crew cut wig that she was wearing.
"Don't you remember?" she reached the dining room door, "I'm in a play."
Artemis closed the door behind her and made her way to her usual seat. Her eyes lingered to the chair right across from her where her Grandfather Artemis the 2nd sat hunched over a stack of papers.
She watched as he ran his figures through his raven black hair. Artemis found it a bit strange that her Grandfather still had hair at his age and in its original color too. Around his neck he wore a gold acorn on a silver chain. She had asked him where he had gotten it but all he would say is that he had had it ever since he could remember. Finally she spoke up.
"Grandpa?" He only glanced up for a second.
"Hello, Holly, nice of you to join me."
Artemis looked around confused. She removed her wig and said.
"Whom are you talking to? Who's Holly?"
"I said no such name," he set down the papers and looked at his granddaughter, "now if you are done I must speak with you about my up coming engagements."
Artemis nodded solemnly. She had learned long ago not to mess with him. That's why she tortured Kelly and let out her frustration through the theater. But she knew under that hard shell there was some repressed memory that wanted to come out she just needed to find out what.
"I'm traveling to New York to meet with some investors."
"Uh? For how long?"
"Two weeks."
"But I thought we going.."
"I'm sorry this is on such short notice," stood up to leave, "you know the rules while I'm gone."
"Yes Grandpa." Artemis moaned as he left the room.
A little later Kelly came in with some tea and then left Artemis to her self.
"Why does he do this every time?" She pounded her fist on the oak table, "Every time I try and draw him out of his shell he has a business meeting! Damn it he's 73. He should be retired going to bingo matches on Wednesdays."
Stuffing her hand into her pocket she felt to box she had found earlier. Making sure no one was watching she opened it and inside was a small disc. A vampire like smile crossed her face and the wheels in her head started turning. In a flash she was in her room down loading the disc.
---- -------------------- ---------------------------------------- ----------------- Wee!!!! How was that? If you have any questions please put them with you review. Oh and I know Holly gave Arty some sort of necklace I think it was an acorn I don't remember if someone knows please help.
Now I must go before my new muses find me. (Flock of penguins come nowhere.) No! Stay back plot penguins! So says your sacred penguin master!
