Chapter 12
Holly whipped her gun out, and there went the bloody battle.
'She has to be bluffing, Artemis is merely knocked out. Raven's an idiot to think I'd actually fall for it.' thought Holly.
She kept trying to convice herself that Artemis wasn't dead, that he was merely knocked out or exausted.
Raven had flug Holly to the ground, Holly jumping back up, threw a dagger at Raven who merely caught it with her teeth, and threw it at Artemis.
"Wha.." began Holly.
"I wasn't lying when I said that he was dead," responded Raven smirking.
Holly have her a glare that would've sent another person running the other way.
Raven dashed fast...er sword clashing with Holly's gun.
The scrape of metal hitting against one another sounded through the night, both of them travelling backwards.
Holly shot at Raven only to find the bullet shot in half.
Both the gun and sword clashed again....sending both weapons in the air.
Raven grabbed the gun, Holly twirling Raven's sword expertly in her hands.
"This ends!" said Holly, as the cut through the gun.
Raven jumped backwards, as a storm hit Japan. Lightening flashed through the windows, a rumble of thunder making death threats within the violent night.
The air was thick with blood, and it almost made Holly sick to her stomach.
Purple flashed through Raven's hands, lightening clashing with it.
Holly got into her stands, silverish sparks emmitting.
'I'm not submitting...not now!' thought Holly.
Both purple and silver clashed....sending wind...just then gold hit in with both powerful forces of magic....
Holly was sent backwards....the high bulding was a about to fall down..
Raven stoof there bloody, soaked in her own blood...her lime green eyes turned purple.
"H-Holly?" asked a voice.
Holly's hazel eyes went wide.
"Raven?" she asked, as stones fell.
"Thank you for freeing me.....I feel stupid...try to save your friend try to....he's the one that saved us all," said Raven, who was glancing at Artemis who was on hands and knees...
Holly nodded.
"I'm sorry I wasn't there," she said, picking up Artemis.
Raven smiled.
"I'm sorry for submitting," she said.
"You couldn't help it...you were lonely," repiled Holly, her back turned to her friend.
The building was about to break.....Raven stumbled backward.
"HURRY GET OUT OF HERE!" she screamed.
Holly looked back her friend.
"Gomen Raven," she whispered running down the halls.
Juliet and Ryoma were stumbling ahead of them.
They ran as the bulding caught fire....Ryoma got in his car...gunning it.
They drove through a near by alleyway...all of them hitting the floor of the car as dust from the bulding...everything hit that dark blue car, Holly could hear glass being shattered from the car windows hitting her on the back as Artemis lay below her in her arms.
Finally about after like it seems, hours all was clear....Ryoma gunned the car back to Shinjuku-Ku before the police arrived to suspect them.
Artemis was bloody, not breathing at Holly hoped.
His blue eyes opened when they tried to heal his cuts....he had been knocked out for five days...Holly staying by his bedside the whole time..
"I'm sorry," he whispered, his hand lightly grabbing Holly's.
Holly's eyes brimmed with tears.
"No need to be sorry you idiot, Raven turned back to her old self...but died for us all," she said.
Artemis let out a little laugh.
"That's what friends do Holly, they....they die for eachother," he said softly.
"Artemis are you okay?" asked Holly.
Artemis smiled...shaking his head.
"I can't exactly breathe Holly....I had to say goodbye before I departed my body though," he responded.
"No...Artemis...NO!" exclaimed Holly, her crystal tears falling.
"Kiss me, one last time," said Artemis.
Holly trembled.
"I wish there was....was someway..," she began.
Artemis' eyes closed, and Holly quickly kissed him before...she felt no pluse...no heartbeat.
Holly cried....cried until she had no more tears..
Juliet and Ryoma wondered what was wrong....Holly's look...her crying told them...
"Oh no..." whispered Juliet, falling to her knees.
Ryoma looked hurt....he looked at his cousin who was sobbing...she had lost tears but her heart had shattered...after this she'd be no more than an empty shell.
"How many lifes have we lost because of this?" Juliet whispered to herself.
((A/N: There will be ONE more chapter before this story ends. So DON"T miss it....it actually turns out to be a bittersweet ending....;; I'm crying...I really didn't want to kill off Artemis! I know people have done it before, but I knew you wouldn't expect such a ending from such a upbeat story. I know all of you hate me....but READ the last chapter and you might not hate me as much......TRUST me Artemis doesn't exactly...FULLY die...BTW-I've made a soundtrack for the fic....3 songs by Ayumi Hamasaki, 1 By Dream ((Japanese Band no the English One)), Maaya Sakamoto-Gravity ((It reminded me so much of the whole series)), Moulann Chang's Stressed Out ((check out her it's something like that...or just search for information online, she's such an amazing singer.)), BWitched-To You I Belong...((YEEK! The song I definately HAD to have in the fic...It was practically the first song for the soundtrack and based on Holly and Artemis!!!)), Evanescence-Eternal ((I LOVE EVANESCENCE! It was a computer like song so it reminded me of Artemis sort in a way...)) I based the songs on like....a TV Verison or something..I imagine Artemis Fowl being an anime...I know you guys think I'm absolutely CRAZY...and I am an anime geek...you people might not be but I am...o.o' -.- I had 2 Beginning Themes for the Series...We'll Be Young Forever and Ayumi Hamasaki's Surreal...Ending Theme's were Japanese...XX Maaya Sakamoto-Gravity ((I know it's the Wolf's Rain theme but it reminded me so much of the story!!!)) Dream Sincerely ((Hikaru No Go ED Theme...I'm such a terrible person...but in my mind...if you could see it you'd find the song and the images for it beautiful...like Holly sitting at a sparking lake sitting at edge...looking at the clouds...then like Artemis like...at his manor stand at his balcony where his room is at...looking at Stars just shooting by...the Juliet having headphones on...in her all pink and white room laying on her bed like she's deep in thought...I actually find the ending images to it really beautiful)).....Ayumi Hamasaki's Free And Easy ((The final and 3rd Ending theme for Another Fate, Another Mission, Another Destiny...and it wasn't in an anime...that I'm aware of anyway!!! It was an absolutely perfect image of Holly, Artemis, Juliet, Ryoma, and a couple other people in the fic surrounded by flames, and then, and then Ryoma walking through the streets of Tokyo....the Holly and Raven fight....just a little bit of it...and then Artemis just walking through the ground of his essate......it was actually odd. There was also like star glittering in the middle part and it hand Raven surrounded by this....black dragon...)) I really should save my notes for the end shouldn't I? But I must tell you about my ideas...all of those AREN'T drawn out...I'm not that good at drawing anime characters... Until next Chappie Sayonara))
